Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter Sixty-One: Qingdu Base

The battle was over, and the others who were watching from the sidelines were surprised to find that the level 2 zombie crocodile had such strong defense, able to withstand the attacks of a level 3 strength ability user.

Seeing that her first attack failed, Bai Zhi abandoned her strength ability and switched to fire-based attacks. Bai Zhi leaped and dodged the crocodile leader's tail attack. The crocodile leader's tail missed its target and slammed heavily onto the ice with a "crack," causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the ice and sending up fine ice shards.

"This power is clearly stronger than that of a level three ability user," Long Yangyang analyzed. At least they had tested it, and Bai Zhi's attack did not achieve the same effect. "The zombie animal is clearly stronger than the zombie."

They retained their even stronger bodies after the mutation, perfectly inheriting the advantages of their original race even after becoming zombies.

The fireball that Bai Zhi threw at the crocodile leader was blocked by the crocodile leader's water curtain, leaving only a shallow scorch mark on the leader's head.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Bai Zhi's nimble body darted lightly across the ice, dodging the crocodile leader's enormous mouth. "Roar—" Small pieces of ice fell from the crocodile leader's mouth as it roared angrily, clearly furious that it hadn't eaten the food that was darting around in front of it.

"The zombie crocodile leader's teeth are even sharper than its tail." Yun Cangshu looked worriedly at the slender figure who continued to challenge the crocodile leader. "Should we help?"

“Wait a little longer,” Long Yangyang said. “Sister Baizhi clearly still has energy left.” Sister Baizhi’s personality wouldn’t allow them to interfere in her battle, especially when she still has energy left.

Bai Zhi gasped for breath, clearly aware of her stamina draining away. It was indeed impossible to outlast a zombie. Bai Zhi took a deep breath, opened her arms, and dozens of fireballs condensed again, rushing towards the crocodile leader.

Taking advantage of the moment when the crocodile leader erected a water curtain to block her way, Bai Zhi paused, quickly turned around, and leaped over the water curtain from the side. She swiftly conjured a huge flaming blade in her hand, soared into the air, jumped onto the crocodile leader's head, and fiercely plunged it into the zombie crocodile leader's head.

Bai Zhi then channeled her remaining supernatural power into the flaming greatsword, causing the flames to surge even more intensely. The even hotter flames flowed from the tip of the blade into the head of the zombie crocodile leader, who let out a powerful roar, "Roar—!"

The four-meter-long giant tail lashed wildly across the ice, as if venting its discomfort. Each lash of the crocodile leader's tail caused the ice to tremble violently. Under the relentless assault of the giant tail, the ice could not withstand the disturbance and huge cracks appeared. "Roar, roar—"

"Roar—" The crocodile leader's roar grew weaker and weaker. Finally, when it raised its tail once more, its massive body paused and crashed heavily onto the ice with a thud.

Bai Zhi dug out the crystal core of the zombie crocodile leader, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. She walked over to the group of people watching the battle and said, "I think killing zombie animals is a huge waste. Not only are they difficult to kill, but their crystal core energy is about the same as that of a level two zombie."

Bai Zhi handed the crystal core in her hand to Long Yangyang, "Next time we encounter zombie animals, let's wait for Cang Shu to control them with his superpowers and then finish them off directly."

"Thank you for your hard work." Long Yangyang took the water-type ability crystal core from Bai Zhi's hand. After purifying it, she found that, just as Bai Zhi had said, the energy inside was similar to that of the zombie crystal core.

“Once we enter the Qingdu base, let’s find a metal-type ability user and make some melee weapons for everyone,” Long Yangyang suggested.

The dagger that Fu Muyu gave to Qiu Ling was completely destroyed after this battle. The kitchen knife in the space was okay for killing low-level zombies, and could barely cut through level 1 zombies, but it was completely useless against zombie crocodiles.

After Bai Zhi regained her powers and burned all the zombie crocodiles to ashes, the group boarded the cruise ship again and was pulled by the fish towards the Qingdu base.

As night fell, Long Yangyang took out food from her spatial storage and the group ate a simple meal. Looking at the city, which was completely submerged by the heavy rain and unrecognizable as once bustling, she sighed helplessly.

"Brother Fu, shall we continue our journey tonight?"

Fu Muyu opened the electronic map, and the city's roads were completely submerged by the flood. The map, which was already inaccurate due to the lack of internet access, became even more inaccurate.

"Stop and spend the night on the cruise ship." The night sky was dark and starless due to the rain, and Fu Muyu was worried about getting lost, so he decided to wait until dawn to continue.

"Let's discuss the night watch arrangements." On land, the seedlings can keep the mutated roses on alert, but on the water, the seedlings aren't aquatic plants, so they can't grow in the water.

"I can take the night shift. Unlike you humans, I don't need to sleep every day," Shi Qing volunteered.

The next morning, when Long Yangyang woke up, she saw a lot of crystal cores piled up on the deck, about a hundred or so.

Most of them have level one or two superpowers, and there are only a few level three crystal cores, about five or six.

"It seems quite a few guests showed up uninvited last night."

"Overestimating themselves," Shi Qing said sarcastically. It seemed that zombies really had no intelligence at all, and with such a large level difference, they were still eager to throw their lives away.

Shi Qing pointed to the zombie crystal cores at his feet, "There are zombie cores and zombie animal cores."

As for the mutated creatures in the water, they will not appear before him unless they hear his call.

"Where are the others?" Long Yangyang didn't see Fu Muyu after getting up, guessing that he must have gotten up a long time ago.

"Prepare breakfast in the kitchen." Shi Qing pointed towards the kitchen. "Judging by the time, it should be about time. Let's go in."

Upon entering the restaurant, Long Yangyang looked in surprise at the long silver snake coiled on the chair. "Silver Candle is awake?"

After helping Shi Qing through adulthood, Yin Zhu had been in a coma, but unexpectedly woke up today.

"I saw it with Shi Qing on the deck when I got up this morning," Fu Muyu said, placing the steamed buns and shumai that Long Yangyang liked into her bowl.

"I think the rain has lessened considerably compared to the past few days. Is it about to stop?" Long Yangyang said, eating breakfast and reflecting on her morning observations.

“Cang Shu said it wouldn’t take more than an hour,” Fu Muyu said.

"In that case, the rain might have stopped by the time we reach the Qingdu base."

After breakfast, Shi Qing summoned some fish again and, following Fu Muyu's command, headed towards the Qingdu base.

“Look, isn’t that it?” Yun Cangshu said, pointing to the ten-meter-wide red banner high in the sky.

The others looked in the direction Yun Cangshu pointed and saw a banner, fifteen meters long and ten meters wide, with the four Chinese characters "Qingdu Base" written on it.

Long Yangyang estimated that the characters on the banner were at least eight meters in size. Even without seeing the base itself, she first noticed the banner with the base's name on it.
