Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 169 The Zombie Horde Arrives

Finally, Lin Yue took a deep breath, her steps feeling like they were made of lead, and followed Shi Xichen at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

In the gray morning mist, a black torrent spread toward the human base.

Her figure, like a powerless fallen leaf in a torrent, could only be swept along, step by step, towards an uncontrollable situation.

……

Inside the military building at the state base, the first light of dawn pierced the darkness, and the sharp crackling of communicators echoed through the corridors.

Chu Qingyang had just gotten up, rubbed his eyes, and walked to the washbasin.

Just as I was about to brush my teeth, a rapid ringing sound came from inside the room.

This ringtone is only set for personnel who need to notify others of emergency events.

My mind, which had been foggy just moments before, instantly became incredibly clear.

He rushed to answer the phone, and his superior's urgent instructions slammed into his ears: "The zombie horde is moving towards the outer small base, numbering in the tens of millions. Immediately assemble troops to provide support!"

"Yes!" Chu Qingyang didn't hesitate for a moment. He hung up the phone, grabbed his tactical jacket from the back of the chair, and walked out the door.

At the same time, he quickly dialed various phone numbers, his voice cold and clear: "Notify all special ability teams to assemble at the East Gate. Within five minutes, the training ground must be fully assembled!"

The communicator immediately crackled with responses, and Chu Qingyang, without stopping, strode towards the command room.

The soldiers along the way were already on edge, carrying their supernatural weapons and running towards their designated positions. The corridor was filled with the hurried sound of boots hitting the ground.

Pushing open the door to the command room, the red coordinates of the small base were already lit up on the combat screen.

The outermost base had only been built for six months and its defenses were weak, making it unable to withstand the onslaught of millions of zombies.

Chu Qingyang tapped the screen and drew a support route: "Send the reconnaissance team to scout ahead and mark the position of the vanguard of the zombie horde. We will flank from the side and try to rescue the civilians from the small base before they encircle us."

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant quickly jotted down the instructions and turned to run outside.

Chu Qingyang walked to the window and looked down at the playground.

In just three minutes, the superhumans, dressed in uniform combat gear, had lined up in formation. The palms of the fire-type superhumans glowed with a faint orange-red light, while the weapons of the metal-type superhumans gleamed coldly under the lights. The formation was like a taut string, ready to set off at any moment.

He tugged at the zipper of his tactical jacket, his eyes darkening, and grabbed the command helmet from the table: "Let's go, I'll lead the team."

The moment the helmet strap was fastened, Chu Qingyang's figure disappeared through the doorway.

Downstairs, the engine of the command vehicle roared to life, and the team of superhumans followed closely behind, boarding the large vehicle and speeding towards the small base outside the state capital base.

The dust kicked up by the wheels dispersed in the night, like a streak of light cutting through the darkness towards hope.

……

The sycamore leaves at the entrance of Ruiya Community were still covered with morning dew.

Ye Qiumian had just finished cultivating when she subconsciously released her divine sense to sense Yi Yan's location.

Surprisingly, Yi Yan was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Qiumian immediately left Ruiya Community and went to check the military building and barracks, but she couldn't find Yi Yan anywhere.

Not only was Yi Yan nowhere to be seen, but Chu Qingyang, Nan Shaohua, Fang Jun, and Shen Yujie were also nowhere to be seen.

Where did all these people go?

Just as she was wondering, an urgent voice came from the roadside.

"Have you heard? Tens of millions of zombies have headed to Silver Mine!"

Two soldiers carrying machine guns passed by, their voices urgent, "Half of the troops from City B have been transferred there, and even Captain Yi is personally leading the team!"

Ye Qiumian stopped abruptly. She turned her head to look in the direction the soldiers had gone, and her brows furrowed instantly.

Silverbase is the furthest small base and has the weakest defenses.

Yesterday, she did sense a strong "annihilation" energy fluctuation over there, clearly indicating that the zombies in the zombie domain had greatly increased in strength. Moreover, it's highly likely that a zombie in the zombie domain has broken through to the god-level!
Yi Yan is a chosen one favored by Heaven. Now we are just waiting for her to break through to the God level, so that the two world origins of "birth" and "death" can reach a balance, the world can be upgraded smoothly, and then we can leave this world.

Now that Yi Yan has gone to fight off the zombie horde, we can't let anything happen to her.

Although she is now a level nine ability user, level nine ability users seem to be quite fragile. So far, I've heard that at least eight or ten level nine ability users have fallen.

Although Yi Yan was quite strong, facing a horde of corpses controlled by a god-level ability user was like throwing an egg against a rock.

She should go and check on the situation.

Ye Qiumian raised her hand and took out a flying artifact from her spatial storage. Pink and white gradient lotus petals appeared in her palm.

The petals were as big as a round table, with tiny, shimmering white light clinging to their edges.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes and landed gracefully on the petals.

With a flick of his finger, the magical artifact instantly transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Silver Mine base.

The wind whistled past my ears, the houses and trees on the ground rushed past, and a faint gray haze appeared on the distant horizon, with a faint smell of decay in the air.

Ye Qiumian stared at the gray fog, her gaze darkening.

She had to find Yi Yan before the horde of zombies surrounded her.

Otherwise, not only will Yi Yan's strength be affected, but the balance of this world will also completely collapse.

The lotus petal-shaped magical artifact slowly slowed down in mid-air. Ye Qiumian lowered her eyes and looked down, and the scene in front of the silver base instantly came into view.

On the gray-brown open ground, the team of superhumans spread out like neat blocks of color, with the orange-red glow in the palms of the fire-type superhumans forming a continuous expanse.

The metal weapons in the hands of the metal-type ability users gleamed with a cold, sharp light in the morning light, and even their breathing was tense and menacing.

Chu Qingyang stood at the front of the team, his fingertips rapidly sliding across the tactical board.

His dark combat uniform was covered in dust, and his brows were furrowed into a sharp arc as he made a final check of the defensive formation.

Not far away, Fang Jun was holding a modified mechanical rifle, bending down to adjust the muzzle angle for the new recruit next to him, his profile taut.

Nan Shaohua's wood-based superpower had already been quietly unleashed; several thick vines meandered and coiled in front of the position, weaving a temporary defensive wall.

Yi Yan stood on the other side of the wooden wall, her long black hair being lifted by the wind, and a faint supernatural power swirling around her fingertips.

She looked up and made a gesture to the fighter pilot in the air. Although there was a calm smile on her lips, there was an imperceptible seriousness in her eyes.

The fighter jets were circling low in the sky, their engines roaring so loudly that the air trembled slightly.

On the open ground in the distance, more than a dozen heavy cannons had already been adjusted to their angles, their black muzzles pointing towards the distance.

The cannon's metallic sheen gave it a majestic and imposing appearance under the sunlight.

Ye Qiumian's heart sank slightly; these weapons might be more than enough to deal with ordinary zombies.

However, facing Shi Xichen, a god-level being who can control millions of corpses, it would only increase the consumption of energy.

If he wanted, he could easily turn those cannon barrels into scrap metal with a single use of his supernatural power.

Ye Qiumian's gaze swept over Yi Yan's figure below.

Yes, she's safe for now.

Just then, a layer of gray mist suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.

The faint, low growls of the zombie horde could be heard, and even the stench in the air suddenly intensified.

Ye Qiumian's eyes instantly turned cold.

The zombie horde is coming!
