The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 248 Defending the Country

Zhang Qi waited for a while but didn't hear Brother Cai continue cursing him. Instead, he saw Brother Cai looking at him anxiously, while Zhang Yan next to him was gesturing at him.

"Giggle..."

Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Qi couldn't help but tremble. The voice was so close that he could feel a huge thing standing behind him.

"Don't move!" Zhang Qi wanted to turn around to look, but he saw that Brother Cai was mouthing words to him. The dozen or so people in front of him also remained still and no one dared to move. He even saw that a big guy's crotch was wet.

This scene also made Zhang Qi feel the urge to urinate. Although he couldn't see what was behind him, he could feel something getting closer and closer to him.

The incident happened so suddenly that no one in the team at the G City base expected that the tiny Zhang Qi would secretly follow them out and even sneak into the Yingcai residential area. More importantly, the level eight zombie they had been searching for for most of the day was actually circling around this little kid.

Of the fourteen people, three were nearing level eight in terms of superpowers. However, since the emergence of superpowered individuals, without researchers needing to investigate, everyone could clearly sense the power gap between each level. Especially at higher levels, the differences between levels were not only significant, but even among those at the same level, the variations arising from different states of crystal absorption were substantial.

Sister Lin is a wood-type ability user. There are two other ability users who are close to level eight, one is wind-type and the other is lightning-type. None of these three attributes are effective against fire-type zombies, and there is also a level difference between them.

However, there aren't many fire-type ability users at the G City base. Zhang Qi is the fastest leveling-up kid, and they don't want to give up on him easily. They can only try one thing at a time. If they can't save him, they'll have to run away.

After exchanging a glance with Brother Cai, Sister Lin's vines suddenly shot out from behind her, heading straight for the fire-type zombie. Just like when Lu Yuan and the others faced the level nine wood-type zombie in Beijing, the fire-type zombie simply waved its hand, and a tongue of fire wrapped around the vines, turning them to ashes in no time.

Zhang Qi had completely lost his composure. He could have taken advantage of this attack to run away, but his legs felt like they were made of lead and he couldn't move an inch. He fell straight to the ground, and his trouser legs were as wet as the tall guy opposite him.

It was at this moment that he finally saw the zombie behind him clearly. He didn't know how the zombie had fused in the early stages, but it was more than two meters tall, which was far beyond the average height in G City. Moreover, it had two heads and three arms, with only its lower body looking relatively normal.

"Holy crap, are there really such deformed and grotesque level 8 zombies?" Under the system's high-powered lens, Lu Yuan could even see the zombie's cracked skin, which made him feel a little nauseous.

Among the high-level zombies they encountered later, most paid great attention to their appearance, which was a clear sign of high intelligence. Moreover, some high-level zombies were so well-known that you couldn't tell they were zombies unless you looked closely. For example, the level nine water-type zombie they encountered in Beijing looked cleaner and tidier than Lu Yuan and his group when it appeared.

Lu Yuan couldn't help himself. He asked the system to sync the zombie's photo to his friends who had returned to the South China base, thinking that at least they should share the damage. He immediately received a reply from Yang Xiao, which was a photo of a person with an octopus-like lower body and torn skin on the upper body. This was the researcher zombie who had escaped from the South China base.

Just as Lu Yuan vomited, he heard the alarm sounding in the mech bay.

"What's going on?" Lu Yuan turned to look at the mech bay suspended in mid-air. When he first entered the starship, the starship used this to clean his mech.

"There's a bug, the system has stopped synchronizing." The starship system was also a bit confused at this point. The disconnected synchronization interface kept flashing red, and the mech bay kept alarming.

Just as Lu Yuan and the starship system were completely confused, the robot Weiguo appeared in front of Zhang Qi. Weiguo was very fast; in an instant, he carried Zhang Qi to Cai Ge and the others, and then threw a punch at the zombie.

Unlike the Wei Guo that Lu Yuan knew before, every blow he made to that zombie was a deadly strike, the kind of deadly strike that was completely uncontrolled by the AI ​​rules.

"Is this Weiguo from our base?" The other superhumans were quite surprised. They knew Weiguo was powerful, but to be honest, they didn't expect it to be this powerful. Was this the same AI robot that would be torn to pieces by zombies in the early stages of the virus outbreak?

The appearance of Wei Guo disrupted the rhythm of the fire-type zombies. Although Cai Ge and his group were stunned for a moment, they quickly reacted and joined the battle.

From the starship, Lu Yuan could see sparks and lightning crackling across the ground, followed by smoke, snowflakes, and ice crystals—a fierce battle raging. Yet, he could still make out Wei Guo, dressed in a police uniform, his attacks landing with every punch, each strike landing squarely.

Finally, with a loud "boom," dust billowed up from the snow.

Once everything had calmed down, the two-meter-tall zombie had already fallen.

"Holy crap!" Cai Ge was the first to walk to Wei Guo's side. After confirming that the level eight zombie was dead, he squatted down and prepared to take out the level eight crystal from the zombie's brain.

"Weiguo, where did you go yesterday?" Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Zhang Yan and the others came over. Several superhumans helped Brother Cai retrieve the crystals, while Zhang Yan went up to Weiguo and asked him.

"Yesterday?" Wei Guo's thoughts were in disarray. He looked up at the sky, but there was nothing there. Only Lu Yuan knew that this direction was where his starship was located.

"I don't remember yesterday. Let's deal with the zombies here first and then go back to base." Wei Guo stared at the sky for a while before turning back to discuss the next steps with Zhang Yan and Cai Ge.

The base's drones had previously confirmed that there were at least four Level 7 zombies here. With so many high-level ability users coming this time, they couldn't let go of these four crystals. Wei Guo put away the Level 8 crystal first, and they continued to advance deeper into the community.

No one knows where Wei went that night, but today's Wei is probably many times stronger than the Wei they knew before.

After all, this AI robot, along with 14 level-7 ability users, actually cleared out all the zombies in Yingcai Community. To their surprise, there were more than four level-7 zombies here. Perhaps it was because of this mutated level-8 zombie that many level-7 zombies were attracted. Before they could devour this level-8 zombie, they were all wiped out by Wei Guo and his team.
