nChapter 60: Good Hope Village’s Defense System and Help

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

nThe destructive power of the zombie horde was truly formidable.

nThey gathered in large groups, stretching as far as the eye could see. They were also incredibly strong, and there were even variants with different abilities like the giant zombies and the hunters.

nAny normal gathering place, once confronted with a zombie horde of thousands, could only meet one fate—destruction and death.

nIn certain aspects, the gathering place on Guangping Street fell within the realm of normalcy.

nFor example, the surface construction fortifications of the gathering place.

nSimple reinforced city walls, pre-apocalypse old houses, ordinary roadblocks and traps.

nAs Wang Xiong had said, even though Lu Ming was strong, he was just one person with a pair of hands. He did not possess any large-scale offensive superpowers. Compared to the Tyrant with stronger individual strength, Lu Ming found it difficult to deal with a large number of ordinary zombies.

nOne iron discus after another was thrown out by Lu Ming, creating bloodied paths amidst the sea of zombies.

nFrom time to time, Lu Ming would pick up his slingshot and accurately kill the highly threatening hunters.

nHowever, these actions still could not stop the zombie horde from approaching the gathering place.

nIt did not take long for the vanguard of the zombie horde to reach the foot of the city wall.

nThe nearly io-meter-high city wall appeared frail in the face of the zombie horde.

nAgile hunters could easily leap over it.

nGiant zombies stepped on the zombies, allowing them to climb up the city wall.

nOrdinary zombies formed human ladders, and the city wall could not hold them back.

nSome hot-tempered giant zombies even pounded the gate, causing it to quickly distort and deform. It seemed like it would not hold for much longer. There were even impatient giant zombies who picked up the zombies and threw them over the wall as if they were throwing shot puts.

nThe city wall barely blocked the zombie wave for less than half a minute before it completely lost its effect.

nUpon entering the gathering place, the zombies became even more excited.

nThey roared ferociously as they charged towards Lu Ming’s observation tower, demolishing houses along the way and trampling over farmland. The once well-maintained gathering place was immediately turned into a disaster zone under the onslaught of the zombie horde.

nZhang Lixin and Li Zitong watched this scene with pained expressions, their mouths twitching uncontrollably…

n“That was our hard work,” Zhang Lixin lamented.

nLu Ming’s mouth twitched uncontrollably in worry.

n“My home is in big trouble…”

nHis hand movement became even faster.

nCountless slingshot bullets rained down like a storm, and the groups of zombies were harvested in batches.

nHowever, it still could not stop the zombie tide from rushing to the vicinity of the observation tower.

nAt this moment,

nZhang Chengcheng made her move.

nAfter advancing to Level 3, Zhang Chengcheng’s superpower strength reached new heights.

nThis was not only reflected in a higher gravitational field, but also in the endurance of the superpower, the range of its influence, and even the finesse of its manipulation.

nAt this moment, Zhang Chengcheng raised her hand, and a twisted ripple spread out from her hand.

nThe ripples expanded, spreading within a 30-meter diameter centered around the observation tower.

n“Gravity, five times!”

nA gravitational field was generated.

nThe footsteps of the zombie horde instantly stagnated.

nFive times the gravitational field was not a difficult task for a Level 3 Zhang Chengcheng.

nHowever, for ordinary zombies whose physical fitness was only slightly stronger than ordinary people, it was nothing short of a disaster.

nThe ordinary zombies instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

nAs for the giant zombies and hunters that could still move, they were immediately targeted and killed precisely by Lu Ming.

nIt was ridiculous how the zombie horde had initially advanced with great momentum, but in the final tens of meters before their meal, they were completely immobilized.

n“Chengcheng, well done!”

nEven Lu Ming could not help but exclaim in admiration.

nAlthough Zhang Chengcheng’s strength was nothing compared to Lu Ming, various abilities with unique effects could achieve things that even Lu Ming could not.

nIt was only at this moment that Zhao Honglei finally understood the means by which Guangping Street’s gathering place resisted the zombie horde.

nA powerhouse.

nAn unbelievably powerful one.

nThe existence of such a person ensured the immediate elimination of the most threatening high-level zombies.

nAn almost indestructible defensive line, combined with a group of Awakened individuals with diverse superpowers.

nThis observation tower was the indestructible defensive line.

nThe material of the observation tower was actually nothing special—it was made of iron.

nHowever, with the assistance of Li Zitong’s earth-element superpower, it reinforced the foundation of the observation tower, making it even more sturdy.

nThere was also another high-level Awakened with outstanding crowd-killing and control abilities.

nWith this setup, the group resisted the zombie horde centered around the watchtower, leaving the horde with almost no opportunities.

nWhat was even more impressive was the shelter beneath the observation tower.

nOrdinary survivors without combat strength could hide inside. As long as the external defensive line held up, the survivors inside would be safe.

nWithout any worries, the fighters could unleash their full potential and ruthlessly slaughter the zombies.

n“Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!”

nExpressions of admiration echoed one after another. However, after the sentiment subsided, Zhao Honglei awkwardly scratched his head.

nNow, he seemed to be an outsider… because he did not need to contribute anything to this system at all.

nLooking down from a higher vantage point, Bai Tianyu could not help but fall into silence when he saw Lu Ming and the others resisting the zombie horde.

nHe had promised Professor Huo that he would complete this mission.

nThere was definitely no problem completing the mission, but the embarrassing part was that he was completely an outsider throughout the entire process and did not contribute anything at all.

nHis gaze turned to the top of the observation tower and saw the man on the top of the tower was pulling the slingshot while smiling and nodding at him.

nYes, Lu Ming had long noticed Bai Tianyu’s presence.

nHowever, from Bai Tianyu’s actions, Lu Ming could tell that he had come with good intentions, so he temporarily ignored him.

nSeeing Lu Ming’s smile, Bai Tianyu also smiled awkwardly.

nHowever, he thought to himself, “Who is this kid? His level of abnormality is on par with mine, if not surpassing it.”

nOriginally, Bai Tianyu was proud…

nHowever, after seeing Lu Ming’s attack, his pride seemed to have melted away into laughter.

n“Well, it’s fine this way too. There’s never a shortage of powerful awakened individuals.”

nMuttering to himself, Bai Tianyu reached into his pocket and took out a signal flare.

nThis was a signal flare to notify the military for support.

nThe Tyrant had been taken care of.

nThe zombie horde was still a problem.

nHowever, without the leadership of the Tyrant, the danger posed by the zombie horde was significantly reduced. In this case, it would be less dangerous for the military and low-level Awakened to clean up the zombies.

nEight military vehicles rumbled over.

nThey began to encircle and exterminate the zombies from the periphery.

nBai Tianyu returned to the team, feeling somewhat awkward in the face of the compliments from his fellow team members.

nIn the minds of the team members, Bai Tianyu must have taken care of the Tyrant… and thus the flattery came one after another.

nBai Tianyu wanted to explain, but considering that dealing with the zombie horde was the current top priority, he kept his explanations to himself.

nWith the addition of the military and heavy weaponry, the pressure on Lu Ming was greatly relieved.

nFrom the afternoon until the moon reached its zenith.

nThis zombie wave attack was finally coming to an end..
