Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

The two made their way through the base.

Looking at Fu Xuanjiu's arrogant look and slow walk, Nan Xi was very suspicious: maybe the city wall he was looking at was fake, and this guy was most likely here to show off his affection.

But she was too lazy to expose it.

Facing envious gazes all the way, the two finally arrived at the newly built defense wall of the base. They saw that the entire wall was made in imitation of an antique building, which was not only strong but also wide.

The wall is three meters high.

Yesterday, the wall was bare inside and out, but now a row of green vines have clearly appeared along the inside of the wall. These vines haven't grown yet and are still in a semi-mature state.

The main reason is that the highest level of other wood-type ability users in the base is only level four.

It wasn't like Nan Xi could grow multiple magic vines at once and have them all mature. But after just one night, the results were pretty good.

The two of them climbed up the stairs reserved on the wall.

Climbing up to the top and looking far into the distance, there was a cool breeze on the defensive wall. The view was indeed much wider than that in the base, and people's mood also became very good.

The outer wall was also covered in a dense layer of magic vines, all gleaming with a emerald green light. Nan Xi observed them and found that the tips of these magic vines had tiny barbs, which were obviously more aggressive than the ones she had given them.

I can't help but nod in approval:

"It seems they have made a lot of improvements and are very efficient."

Fu Xuanjiu's eyes flashed with pride when he heard this. He turned his head to look at Nan Xi, made a little gesture with his thumb and index finger, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly:

"I helped out a little bit."

That's why I specially pulled Nan Xi over today to see the results.

Nan Xi nodded slightly, understanding: This guy was really here to show off. However, she wanted him to hurry up and develop the antidote to the zombies.

For her, this is the top priority.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard Fu Xuanjiu nervously say:

"Xiao Xi, look, is that a zombie?"

Ok?

Nan Xi looked in the direction Fu Xuanjiu pointed, and indeed, she saw several figures swaying in the distance. As she got closer, the figures became more and more numerous.

They appeared and disappeared among the ruins in groups, and seemed to be moving rapidly towards the base.

"It seems to be true..." Nan Xi murmured.

At this time, no one in the base was aware of this.

Except for the teams that went out on missions, everyone was busy working on infrastructure construction.

Logically speaking, there are patrols checking this area every day, and even if there are zombies, there are only a few occasionally. How could so many of them appear all of a sudden and approach so clearly?

But I don’t have time to analyze these things right now.

Nan Xi said to Fu Xuanjiu:

"I'll hold the line here for a bit. Go down and notify the checkpoints. Have them activate the Level 1 alarm immediately and have all civilians evacuate to a safe area!"

In fact, at this moment, with Nan Xi's strength, she can completely kill these zombies alone. But as I said, this apocalypse is not hers alone.

She can't do it alone.

Fu Xuanjiu nodded. Knowing that time was running out, he didn't argue. Instead, he turned quickly and ran down the stairs. A moment later, a shrill battle alarm rang out throughout the base, and the crowd suddenly became agitated.

Nan Xi concentrated, held her breath, and mobilized her supernatural powers.

The magic vines outside the defense wall grew and spread instantly, forming a green barrier, which blocked the first batch of zombies that attacked in time.

Nan Xi continued to mobilize her special powers, and the sharp barbs on the magic vines pierced into the zombies' bodies, seeming to slow down their movements for a moment.

Unfortunately, these zombies seemed to feel no pain. After a moment of stunned silence, they continued to rush towards the wall frantically.

Some of the zombies, seemingly strength-type zombies, managed to break free from the vines through brute force. After a while, the vine barrier began to crack with a sound.

At this time, more zombies were pouring in, and the defense system was about to be breached.

Fortunately, at this time, the base commander Yuan Yong had already led other psychics in the base to stand on the city wall.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Nan!"

Yuan Yong apologized.

They had agreed to treat people like ancestors, but ended up making them do the work. If it weren't for the two living ancestors helping them today, the entire base might have suffered considerable damage.

By then, he, as the base commander, will lose all his face.

Nan Xi nodded, and seeing that the situation had eased, she slowly withdrew from the battle and stood aside to watch quietly. Fu Xuanjiu, on the other hand, was eager to try.

During the apocalypse, he had always been the one being protected and had never killed a zombie himself.

At this moment, he wanted to try out his special abilities.

During training, at the beginning, his ability could only devour small objects such as cups, plates, etc.

Only after reaching level 2 can it devour heavier metal utensils, larger furniture and appliances, etc. So today he wanted to practice on zombies.

He was seen hiding behind Nan Xi, and his hands slowly condensed a ball of black smoke, which slowly enveloped the body of the first zombie that was closest to him.

Soon, the zombie disappeared.

"Xiao Xi, it's done, I succeeded!"

Fu Xuanjiu said excitedly, his eyes reddening with excitement like a child, and his eyes sparkled. Nan Xi looked back at him and was suddenly speechless.

I feel that at this moment Fu Xuanjiu is like a dog hiding behind his owner and thinking that he is very powerful.

Nan Xi nodded:

"That's pretty impressive. I'll give you a reward later..."

"What reward?"

Fu Xuanjiu was still in high spirits and asked blankly.

Nan Xi leaned back, closer to him, and chuckled, "It's a secret now. I won't give it to you until tonight."

The warm breath touched Fu Xuanjiu's ears, and his face suddenly turned red...

"Night, night, night, night..."

Fu Xuanjiu stammered:

"Xiao Xi, I suddenly remembered that there's still a set of data in the lab that hasn't been released yet. I'll go take a look!"

After saying that, he ran away, not even bothering to continue practicing his new supernatural powers on the zombies.

He needed to go back and take a good shower. What else did he need to do? He'd better ask someone for advice... No, no, he was confused. How could he ask someone about such a private matter?

Oh, right, Fu Xuanjiu suddenly remembered.

The last time Yuan Ziqi sent him some information, there seemed to be a booklet inside with the words "Beginner's Guide" written in large letters on the cover.

When he saw that the information was not something he needed urgently, he threw it aside.

Fu Xuanjiu slapped his head, hurried back to the laboratory, and took out the booklet. He opened the first page and saw the following words:

"It's inevitable to be nervous when facing this for the first time. Take a deep breath and relax..."

Fu Xuanjiu took a deep breath, his fingers trembling slightly, but he couldn't help but continue turning the pages with a red face. His concentration was no less than that of conducting a great species research.
