The Rebirth of the Last Days and Return to [Fang] Hao

T/N: Those who read the last release of 200.1 and thought it was extra long… the cropped version didn’t save, so 200.2/3 will be duplicates as we catch up. My bad!

“All units get ready.” When the vanguard of the zombies finally clearly appeared in everyone’s sight, Yan Xin gave the order to the entire base with a loudspeaker that was connected everyone in the base. “Prepare to meet the enemy!”

If it’s not them1zombies dying, it’s them2humans dying.

The strength of this zombie army that came from the south was beyond everyone’s expectations. Because of many ability users cooperated and their use of strategy and tactics, the previous zombie tide was not given much room to upgrade. They were killed one after another, and those crystal cores were collected by space abilities in advance.

But this army of zombies killed, replenished, and upgraded along the way! The highest level of zombies currently visible in the team turned out to be level 5!

With level 5 zombies present, the defensive battle became difficult again. The pressure they brought to this base was by no means the level of the previous level 4 zombies. Even He Zizhong and Fang Hao had to admit they could only deal with level 5 zombies one at a time. Once they are besieged by multiple level 5 zombies, they can only run and flee – even with their special weapons.

“Grit your teeth!”

“Ammo has arrived!!”

After the previous zombie tide was relatively controlled and could not get too close to the wall, Yan Xin changed the battle plan. Like the convoy, everyone was instructed to kill zombies with abilities only, instead of blindly using hot weapons and heavy bombardment. But now, in the face of another wave of intractable zombies, those weapons and ammunition are thrown into the battlefield again.

With the support of heavy firepower, the battle situation was barely maintained after four days of straight battle.

“How’s the ammunition?” Yan Xin has basically never left the city wall except going back to sleep in the past few days. At this time, he was holding binoculars to observe the dense zombies below.

“We can hold on for another two days, but our reserve supplies are almost exhausted…” The logistics head said with a puzzled expression. Most of these weapons were produced before the zombie tide, and not much is left. In addition, there is basically no material for making new ammunition. These things must be collected and refined elsewhere, but they have been blocked by these damn zombies for a full two years! How can they go out to smelt iron?

“Let the plant ability users get ready. Once the ammunition is used up, let them go first.” Yan Xin’s expression was unmoved, but he had put down the binoculars to look at the zombies below.

“Yes!”

Plant abilities don’t have any special way of fighting, but after He Zizhong handed over those mutant plant seeds to Samsara’s plant ability holders, Yan Xin discovered a new use. He immediately traded with He Zizhong and bought the remaining mutant plant seeds.

Now that the base is in danger, and may be overrun at any time, he can only disregard the idea of whether mutant plants will side with the zombies after they are planted and use them to resist for a while.

But those newly planted mutant plants may not last too long… once they run out, when will their abilities last…

“Yan Xin!”

Yan Xin turned his head and saw Guo Bing hurrying over. His face was dark, and the mud mixed with sweat completely stained his complexion.

“What’s the matter?”

“Is the base’s ammunition running out?”

Yan Xin nodded, and once again looked down at the dense horde of zombies. “It can last for two days at most.”

Guo Bing sucked in a cold breath, looking at the densely packed zombies below and smiled bitterly. “I still have a little bit, it was… collected quite early. He Zizhong and them also have a bit. We discussed it for a while, and will take them out in a bit.”

Yan Xin was not too surprised. After learning that Guo Bing and the others seemed to have a mysterious “space” undetected by instruments, he estimated that the Samsara team must have supplies and arms that they didn’t know about.

“Calculate the amount in a while, I’ll use crystal cores…”

“Forget it, it’s not much anyway. Crystal nuclei should be used when all the ammo is used up, and distributed to those with abilities. If the base is really broken, by then, no one will be able to run away, and those things will be left in vain.” Guo Bing waved his hand, as if he didn’t care.

It didn’t take long for He Zizhong and Guo Bing to walk to an open space. With a wave, a large number of brand-new ammunition and firearms appeared in two piles. It seemed that He Zizhong’s pile was larger than Guo Bing’s. In addition to weapons, there was a lot of gold and silver.

Guo Bing’s eyes widened: “So much?!”

He Zizhong’s expression did not change. “Before that mission, we also collected a batch elsewhere.” Then he looked at Yan Xin. “This is the only batch I have that are remodeled. The rest have not yet been remodeled.”

Yan Xin’s expression was a little moved. Although he predicted the pair still had a lot of weapons in their hands, he didn’t hold out much hope – can the ammunition in their hands be enough? Supporting the base one more day is enough of a problem.

But seeing the real thing made him truly shocked. “These weapons… can last for almost three more days.” He waved his hands. “Let the logistics department start the remodeling!” Then he looked at the two of them. “Thank you very much, if everyone can live this time…”

“Talk about it later. Living for one day counts as one day.” Guo Bing waved his hand indifferently. “To be able to live so many more years after the end of the world, it’s worth it!”

There was no time for everyone to feel emotional, sad, or depressed, after handing over their life-saving weapons. Now everyone has seen the situation outside. Level 5 zombies are not easy to deal with. Two walls have just been smashed by level 5 power zombies. The base has already been breached by zombies.

One day, two days, three days…

Now all the people in the base, men and women, young and old, have gathered around the temporary blockade, determined to live and die with the wall.

Although the breath of despair has begun to spread, everyone gritted their teeth, sticking to each other in order to live one more day.

Gradually, the base’s original ammunition was completely used up, and the batch of weapons supported by He Zizhong and Guo Bing also bottomed out.

The plant abilities came to the wall and began to throw the seeds of mutant plants down, preparing to wait for these hideous creatures to be launched before the ammunition was used up.

He Zizhong and Fang Hao stood together. Fang Hao’s hands held a grenade gun, while He Zizhong was preparing—preparing to use his abilities after the weapons of several people around him were used up.

Suddenly, someone tapped He Zizhong on the shoulder.

After turning around to see Guo Bing, He Zizhong took two steps back but did not dare to leave the wall. In the past few days, everyone has seen that these zombies have not sent their real main force. Flying zombies and earth-burrowing earth zombies have not appeared either.

According to Yan Xin’s analysis, this team has probably also experienced in many battles. They know how to use the low-level zombies recruited along the way as an opening to make the base run out of ammunition. Then they can break through the base in one fell swoop.

This is an open conspiracy, but they could only follow the other party’s script.

“What?”

Guo Bing hesitated for a moment before whispering: “If…if the city is really broken, if it’s convenient for you… can you bring Xiaotian?”

He Zizhong paused before turning around.

Guo Bing had a reluctant and painful smile on his face. “I’m not too young and I’ve lived enough, but Xiaotian…” He shook his head violently. “If it weren’t for the end of the world, I wouldn’t have a chance to be with him. I just ask… If you can get out, can you…”

He Zizhong and Fang Hao are both extremely fast ability users, and He Zizhong still has a special method allows him to approach zombies undetected. As long as he doesn’t get too close to level 4 or 5 zombies and doesn’t make too many movements, even fourth and fifth level zombies will not be able to find him for a while.

If anyone in the entire base has the best chance of escaping and being free, there’s no one else to think about apart from this pair.

Guo Bing knew that his proposal would probably affect He Zizhong and Fang Hao, but… he really didn’t want Le Tian who was so young to…
