Ch. 43

"Do you feel that it's easier to fight here?" The sounds of machines swinging and guns blasting filled his ears. Chen Youbo chopped off a zombie's head, turned his head and shouted to Chen Bin, "My abilities have improved again. If my mother knew that my abilities were upgraded so quickly, she would definitely cook a table full of dishes for me."

"Get lost! It's easier to fight the zombies here when they're not grouped together. Just now, after I beat one zombie, another wanted to dance with me. Now this group of zombies seems to have lost their backbone." Bing Xin released a large stream of water from his hand, soaking the zombies in front of him. "You're still thinking about improving your abilities. What a beautiful thing."

Chen Youbo discharged electricity along the water stains, knocking down a large wave of zombies with one electric shock. The space in front of him was empty for a few seconds, and then the zombies behind him pounced on him with their mouths grinning and saliva dripping.

"How long has it been since the Purple Moon came out?"

"Four hours." Bing Xin said.

"Ha, then let's have another wave?" Chen Youbo's hands flashed with lightning, and he shouted until his voice was hoarse, "I just rested, I can have three more waves of lightning."

"Look at what you said, how can I not do it after three times?!" Bing Xin grinned and stomped his feet. The small river under his feet gurgled and stained the soles of several zombies.

The bright electric light blew the space in front of him into a blank.

Lou Ai didn't look at the zombies that entered the encirclement. She used the same method to eliminate four high-level zombies. She stored all the zombie crystal cores she obtained into the space in advance.

Not every high-level zombie is powerful enough to kill everyone in seconds. Some high-level zombies are directly killed by the superpower team.

Lou Ai couldn't find an opponent, so she rubbed her fingers and looked in the direction of the army.

Compared to the special-powered team, the army had a harder time defending, especially the ordinary troops who relied on guns and sticks to resist the zombies.

The marginal area they were defending also saw the highest number of casualties.

It all depends on batch after batch of soldiers using human wave tactics.

Among them, the team led by Yin Chong had the most difficulty. Xia Xing and Yun Xi had been transferred to the patrol team by their families in advance. Without the protection of the general's descendants, they were just ordinary soldiers in the base. No one would protect them, and the new recruits also left the most corpses.

Lou Ai walked closer with the spear in hand. The closer she got, the weirder her expression became.

If she locked onto the wrong target correctly, the zombie hiding opposite Yin Chong was more powerful than all the high-level zombies she had fought before.

This zombie did not fight against people. He hid behind the zero-level zombies and slowly devoured the soldiers in front of him by controlling the zombies. The attack of this group of zero-level zombies was more fierce than before.

Lou Ai suddenly made eye contact with the zombie, and his mung bean-sized pupils stared at her unblinkingly. The zombie should have been in his twenties before he turned into a zombie. He was a young zombie, and the turtleneck sweater he wore was covered in blood stains, which was faintly translucent under the light. His face was well-preserved, with only one ear drooping down on his blue-gray cheek.

Lou Ai didn't know whether to say that this young zombie was smart or too cautious.

"Roar!" As the young zombie roared, the surrounding zombies attacked more fiercely, with roars continuing.

"Lou Ai? How did you get here?" A pointed wooden stick appeared under Yin Chong's command, and the veins on his fingers bulged as he stabbed it into the eye sockets of the zombie in front of him. When several young soldiers beside him failed to defend properly, Yin Chong had to help. The wooden sticks in his hand were consumed one after another, and beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

"Where is your adjutant?" Lou Ai asked.

"He's at the end of the team. There are a few veterans in the middle, guarding the base." Yin Chong's wooden stick broke into pieces when it hit the zombie's head. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Aren't you going to take care of the superpower team?"

"No need, we can still handle it over there." Lou Ai shook her spear and the tip of the spear pierced into the zombie's temple, killing it with one shot.

After Lou Ai came in, Yin Chong’s pressure in fighting zombies suddenly decreased.

The zombies' attack speed slowed down again and again until they could not advance any further.

Next to Yin Chong's team, there was a commotion in the place guarded by the veteran army. Hundreds of zombies broke through the siege and rushed towards the direction of Qiang'an base.

"The fifth one." Yin Chong muttered softly, "From what I've seen, this is the fifth time the zombies have attacked."

"Yeah." Lou Ai observed the young zombie. His eyes rolled around, and he was obviously a little impatient.

Yin Chong smiled bitterly: "Before today, I really didn't think zombies were that scary, but when the zombies broke through and attacked for the first time, I suddenly became afraid. I can't imagine how scary it would be if the zombies that attacked from my place entered the base and destroyed it."

"Fifteen of my soldiers died and more than thirty were seriously injured. They were all new recruits who had just joined the team and had not yet been deployed..." Yin Chong could not continue.

"Just relying on this, our base will definitely survive." Lou Ai patted Yin Chong's shoulder.

Lou Ai could feel the young zombie's gaze directed at her.

The progress of the siege slowed down only after she joined. If he had a clear mind, he would definitely realize this.

Sure enough... Lou Ai felt that the number of zombies around her suddenly increased. The zombies were crowded together, with countless sharp claws reaching towards her.

The young zombie also squeezed to the front and blended into the pile of zombies, pretending to be a zero-level zombie and secretly fighting with Yin Chong.

Lou Ai curled her lips. Zombies, that’s what she was least afraid of.

The young zombie has not used his ability once in such a long time. It seems that his special ability may be to increase his physical strength.

Yin Chong frowned, and continued to hit the arm of the zombie in front of him with the wooden stick. The wooden stick broke one after another, but the young zombie was only slightly blocked. Yin Chong used the wooden stick to block the zombie's movements, stepped back with his right leg, took out the pistol from his waist and shot the young zombie with a "bang", hitting the zombie's eye... eyelid. Yin Chong's temple jumped, and the young zombie's eyelids blinked, but he was unharmed. Instead, the bullet head that fell to the ground was slightly shriveled.

The battle between Yin Chong and the young zombie also verified Lou Ai's guess.

Lou Ai calmly controlled the zombies behind the young zombie.

"Lou Ai, are you okay?" Yin Chong passively resisted the invasion of zombies, "Why do I encounter something incomprehensible every time you come?"

"That's what I wanted to ask you. Why do you always have some difficult problems that I find difficult?" Lou Ai's eyes fixed. More than a dozen zombies behind the young zombie rushed towards the high-level zombie in front of them, hugging the young zombie's arms and legs, and entangled the entire zombie of the young zombie, making him unable to move. "Change positions."

Yin Chong took a half step back, staring at the scene in front of him in amazement: "No, zombies will also turn against us?"

"Zombies can't do that, but I can." Lou Ai reached out and took the submachine gun that Yin Chong was holding, and the pistol in his hand, "Lend me your gun."

"Do you know how to use it..." Yin Chong was stunned. Seeing that Lou Ai didn't look like a novice in using the gun, "The recoil of a submachine gun is not something that can be easily adapted to..."

"Bang bang bang bang bang." The dense gunshots were connected into a piece, all sweeping the young zombie who was tightly hugged by the zero-level zombie. His black turtleneck sweater was full of holes in the blink of an eye.

Yin Chong stopped talking. When Lou Ai used the submachine gun, the recoil seemed to be non-existent.

He discovered that Lou Ai had a strange power that made people astonished.

"Roar." The young zombie roared angrily and pulled out the head of the zombie in front of him. In an instant, no zombies that trapped him were left, and all of them had their heads shattered, unable to move anymore.

Violent and cautious, this is how young zombies fight.

“Roar!”

The young zombie's pointed black nails hit the tip of Lou Ai's spear, making a clanging sound.

Lou Ai turned the spear, and the wooden stick at the tail end pressed against the young zombie's fist. The spear shaft was bent into a crescent shape. Lou Ai's palm moved down along the spear shaft and chopped at the young zombie's fist. The next moment, Lou Ai let go of the spear, clenched her fists, and hit the young zombie in front of her fist to fist and flesh to flesh.

The young zombie's fist trembled slightly from the impact.

Yin Chong smashed the zombie's head in front of him with a stick. He had just fought with the young zombie and was the one who knew the zombie's strength best. Lou Ai's physical ability had reached such a sharp level that he was able to have the upper hand while fighting the zombie head-on.

Lou Ai looked at the zombie in front of her with an unshakable expression, curled up the corners of her mouth, and kicked towards the zombie's thigh.

The young zombie stretched out his hand to block, and several short zombies nearby were controlled to move forward and clamped Lou Ai's arms and thighs in the same way.

Lou Ai smashed the head of an ordinary zombie with one punch.

The young zombie was in a situation where he could neither escape nor win the battle. The densely packed zombies around him were originally his cover, but now they became a source of interference.

The young zombie's attacks became more and more fierce. Lou Ai could feel that he put a lot of strength into every punch.

"Damn, is Lou Ai's ability to control zombies? I thought she was powerful before, but I didn't expect she could be like this. Look at her and the area around that zombie, all the controlled zombies came up and were crushed to death. A large number of them died." The battle between Lou Ai and the young zombie greatly relieved the oppression of Yin Chong's team.

"It would be great if she could come and be our instructor. It seems like she taught Sanshi all the fighting skills with combat sticks. What a pity."

"Not only the sticks, but the gun is also good. Look, are the zombies in trouble?"

Lou Ai grabbed the young zombie's hand, broke it and pulled it over, then held the young zombie's head to her chest, while the young zombie hit Lou Ai's abdomen with his elbow. Lou Ai could feel bruises on her abdomen. She fixed the young zombie's head, loaded her pistol and fired five shots at the young zombie's ear.

After a while, the young zombie's movements of hitting Lou Ai became smaller and smaller, and gradually there was no sound.

After Lou Ai turned into a zombie, she carefully studied her body structure. Relatively speaking, the weakest part of her body was her eyeballs, and the next level was her ears. As long as there was no skin covering them, they would be weak points.

Lou Ai let go of the zombie in front of her, took a breath, tiredly picked up the spear, lowered her head, dug the crystal core out of the zombie's brain, and put it in her pocket.

Of course you can kill the zombies in front of you slowly, but it takes too long and is not cost-effective.

"Woohoo, awesome!"

Lou Ai turned her head and smiled. It was a few young soldiers cheering for her. They were fighting the zombies, multitasking and cheering for her with their tender cheeks.

Gradually the cheers grew louder and louder, affecting most of the base.

Yin Chong did not stop it. At this time, some positive cheers could increase their morale.

“Boom.”

The cheers died down only when the sound of gunpowder was heard again at the back of the base.

"Yin Chong, how many hours has it been since the Purple Moon began?" Lou Ai asked.

"Six and a half hours." Yin Chong reported the number accurately.

After the seventh hour, the restlessness in Lou Ai's body gradually faded away.

As the purple moon became fainter and fainter, she clenched her fists, and the strength in her arms returned. The firmness of her thin muscles also increased sharply, and her legs, waist and abdomen were all improved. Even the sounds she heard became more numerous and complex. Objects in the night sky were farther and clearer, and even the wounds from the fight just now were relieved.

The moment the purple moon disappeared, Lou Ai felt her overall improvement.

Every Purple Moon represents a comprehensive improvement for the zombies. This was the first sentence used by scientists in the previous life when introducing the Purple Moon.

Lou Ai pinched her muscles and suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence.

"Damn, damn, how come this zombie is so fast, it's like it's been given an injection of chicken blood." The exhausted psychic faced off against the fully upgraded zombies, and the sparse remaining zombies actually had a vague feeling of turning defeat into victory.

"Damn, who said it wasn't true?" As morale became increasingly low, someone shouted at the top of his lungs: "Purple Moon is over!!"

The government also took up the loudspeaker in time. Secretary Bai praised the heroes guarding the base in his speech, which encouraged them. Only then did the situation gradually stabilize.

"... Now let me report our gains in this war to defend our homeland. According to incomplete statistics, there are 1,340 soldiers who have awakened special abilities in this war, and we have obtained about 140,000 crystal cores. The number of families protected..."

"It seems like this second purple moon isn't all bad!"

If it were really that simple, Lou Ai forced a wry smile and walked back towards her own superpower team.

Chen Youbo propped himself up with his machete and said with a smile, "Oh, you're back. Apart from Xia Si's broken bones, there are basically no casualties in our team."

"I know." Lou Ai nodded.

Chen Youbo stepped forward and patted Lou Ai's shoulder forcefully: "You are still the best!"

"Now, all teams, whether they are special-powered teams or military teams, must split into two teams and take turns to rest." After only a quarter of an hour of relaxation, the ladders in the base were replaced by military personnel. "No one is allowed to leave their team without permission."

The teams outside the base, whether they were psychics or the military, all had complaints written all over their faces.

"Lou Ai, why aren't you letting me go? Will there be another wave of zombies later? I really can't handle it if they come again. Damn it, this is the New Year of the zombies, they're delivering food in hordes." Chen Youbo knocked on the ground in dissatisfaction.

"Don't forget, the nets made by Xia Si and the others have not been used yet." Chen Bin said with a wry smile.
