Chapter 293: Chapter 149: Special Energy (Please Support with Monthly Votes )_3, Shuize Base was originally Shuize University, which had several gates; however, the other gates had all been sealed off, leaving only the main gate on the south side open., “Where did all these zombies come from?!”, Xiang Hongbin was somewhat baffled. He had gone around Shuize County many times and had never seen zombies of this kind, especially not in such numbers!, Ren Jie and the others quickly caught up., “I’ve already sent the word down, instructing most of the survivors to take refuge in the compound building. Wang Tao and Old Wei have also been moved over… What exactly is the situation?”, As soon as Ren Jie heard about the large number of zombies heading toward the base, he immediately sent out the notice without hesitation, directing those survivors with little combat ability to take shelter in the compound building., After all, they had already learned their lesson from last time. If they could have reacted faster when they encountered the gorilla zombies, maybe more than a hundred lives would not have been lost., Once he had made sure everyone was arranged, he then ran up to join the others., Another member of the Security Army quickly handed over the binoculars to Ren Jie., “…” After looking through the binoculars, Ren Jie fell silent for a moment before swearing, “Damn it!”, The number of zombies at the north gate of the base looked to be in the thousands!, How could so many zombies suddenly appear?, Moreover, he had never seen this type of zombie before and didn’t know their strength… With so many zombies, it was unlikely they were all Level Two, but they clearly differed from ordinary zombies…, If these were all Level 1 Elite Zombies, that could be even more terrifying than the Mad Demon Zombies!, The only silver lining now was that they had managed to repair the base’ s defenses, and among the group of approaching zombies, there were no individuals with massive physiques like the gorilla zombies, so theoretically, the base should be able to hold them off…, “That place… they’re coming from Shuizhe Mountain! I remember Wang Tao mentioning that students from Shuize University were on Shuizhe Mountain. Could these all be students from Shuize University?”, Lu Gang suddenly spoke up., When they arrived at the base, there were no people or zombies at Shuize University. It was said that the university was renovating several buildings, but it’s unknown whether there was shoddy construction involved, as the strange smell lingered, prompting the university to give students a few days off., However, later on, Wang Tao mentioned that while the university said it was a holiday, it also organized a sketching and photography trip. Many students went into the Shuizhe Mountain for this outing, and the fees were not cheap., At the time of the virus outbreak, many students were still on the mountain. With over twenty thousand students at Shuize University… how many zombies could there be on that mountain!, Hearing Lu Gang mention this, everyone else started to make the connection., They took another careful look through the binoculars, and while they couldn’t make out the features of the zombies to the north, their clothes were relatively trendy and vibrant, likely belonging to the students of Shuize University…, “Crap, these zombies… they wouldn’t be coming to reclaim their school, would they?”, Xiang Hongbin made a joke that fell flat., “What should we do now?”, Lu Gang asked with a frown., The timing of these zombies’ arrival was truly distressing, exactly when Wang Tao and Wei Zhenguo were both in the midst of their Ascension, leaving the base without its two strongest combatants…, Ren Jie turned to Xiang Hongbin, who was a combatant. He would know whether they could fight or not., “We can only stay put in the base for now. Since there are no large specimens among these zombies, they shouldn’t be able to breach our defenses. We’ll wait for Old Wei and Wang Tao to awaken before deciding our next move… However, for safety, let’s keep the non-combatants in the compound building at all times,”, Xiang Hongbin had been scared by the previous gorilla zombie incident. “Alright!”, These zombies looked stiff in the body, but they moved at a not-so-slow pace. It took them less than twenty minutes to reach the base’s north gate., The north gate of the base was completely sealed off, not just to zombies, but even the people inside the base could not open it. Plus, the walls here were very high, so these zombies had no way to get in., Xiang Hongbin and the others had initially thought that these zombies would be like the ordinary ones, all crowding in one place, incapable of improvisation., Unexpectedly, once they realized they couldn’t get in, they didn’t just linger at the north gate but gradually began to encircle the entire base!, Seeing this unfold, everyone had a bad feeling. The base was so large that there were bound to be places with weaker defenses. If the zombies found them…, Fortunately, after surrounding the base, these zombies only roared chaotically and did not try to climb the walls like the Mad Demon Zombies. It appeared these zombies didn’t know how to climb. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief., But then, half an hour later, at five o’clock, Xiang Hongbin’s face suddenly went pale., A light green fog became visible to the naked eye within the base!, “These zombies are poisonous! Cough, cough…”, He felt suddenly much weaker and was seized by a violent cough., Everyone who inhaled the fog seemed as if they had been hit with a Weakness Potion, instantly becoming listless and coughing!, “Quick, cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel… Cough, cough…”, Ren Jie ordered., Not knowing if it would help, they had no other choice., There was some protective gear like hazmat suits in the base, which Xiang Hongbin hurriedly found and had everyone put on., After putting on a gas mask, Xiang Hongbin felt much better. He stopped coughing, and although he was not immediately relieved from the state of weakness, he was slowly recovering., “Thankgoodness these zombies can’t get in—”, Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a few particularly agile-looking zombies, shrouded in faint green smoke, pushing against the large main gate! They attracted more zombies to the area. Soon, the south main gate was overrun with zombies!, This gate had been damaged by the gorilla zombies before and was only patched up; its defensive power was definitely not as good as before., Then, to the horror of all watching, the zombies caused the gate to buckle and deform., And with a “bang,” the gate fell apart and collapsed to the ground., “Hehheh…”, Countless zombies, surrounded by green fumes, entered the base. The green fog inside the base thickened., The zombies reached the base of the compound building, and the green smoke billowed to the sky!, “It’s over… If we can’t break out, we might all be poisoned to death…”
