Chapter 40: Sang Sheng's Counterattack

John Riley, his right hand wrapped in bandages, he exclaimed in surprise:"John Lee, my friend, have you done anything dangerous"John's dark circles were very obvious, and he looked tired and listless...Three days later, Zhou Mei was ordered to pick up Yingyi and his group. After meeting, Wu Lianyi determined from the other party's expression that things were progressing smoothly.

"On behalf of the Capital Base, I welcome you all back!"

Zhou Mei's smile was radiant, and her tone of voice unconsciously rose with cheer.

"Congratulations to General Zhou for becoming the leader of the base. The survivors in the capital are fortunate."

Eaglewing also said some words of the situation at the right time.

Both parties got along well during this meeting. Eagle Wing led everyone back to the capital base with Zhou Mei, and this military ration processing plant was successfully taken over by the people she brought.

After returning to the capital base, Zhou Feng didn't beat around the bush. He personally delivered one hundred level four crystal cores and frankly stated that upgrading the crystal core defense shield required the full support of the three research experts. Otherwise, the upgraded version of the defense shield would have to wait.

This time, Eaglewing did not hesitate. It introduced the three researchers to Zhou Feng, along with the necessary equipment, and sent them all to the research institute at the capital base. The rest was a matter of time.

Wu Lianyi tossed the Level 4 crystal nucleus in her hand, announcing that she would be going into seclusion for a few days to improve her strength before taking on more missions. Sun siblings also made some profits this time, just enough to challenge Level 3. The entire Black Hawk team has basically entered a closed training state.

Three days later, Zhou Mei rushed to find Captain Yingyi, and said straight to the point:

"Although Sang Sheng was driven off the stage by my father, he had a backup plan. To obtain high-grade crystal cores, he secretly raised zombies. This is what we discovered from his files in his secret room when his house was raided."

Ying Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust upon hearing this. No wonder Zhou Feng could bring so many crystal cores at once, it seemed that part of them should have been found from Sang Sheng.

So what

"Sang Sheng used the Golden Cicada Escape scheme. The one in jail now is his stand-in, he's vanished without a trace. There's a high chance he'll go after you for revenge, or create chaos within the capital base. Either way, it's not what we want to see."

Zhou Mei concisely explained the situation.

"So you're saying that you didn't find the place where they were keeping the zombies"

Hawk Wing immediately grasped the key point.

"Yes, according to the intel we went to three locations, but came up empty. However, based on the on-site analysis, these three places did indeed have traces of a zombie enclosure before, but they were moved later. As for where they were transferred to, we haven't found out yet because the time frame is too short."

This time, I'm here to remind Captain Eaglewing that we need to be more careful with our recent actions. Also, I'd like to borrow your team's Miss Sun Yi. We hope she can help us find some clues. As long as this person is alive, none of us can rest easy.

Zhou Mei's attitude was sincere, and she didn't hide her intentions.

"I understand. Currently, Tong Ying is in seclusion, trying to break through to the third-level ability. If she succeeds, her capabilities will be even greater."

"I understand, I just hope that after she is upgraded, we can cooperate as soon as possible."

Zhou Mei invited again.

"No problem! Also, I suggest General Zhou publicize Sang Sheng's crimes and issue a reward, mobilizing everyone in the base to search. This will be faster than your group searching alone."

Ying Yi timely suggested.

"Well, we have considered that, but we're worried about causing chaos at the base, so we haven't adopted it for now."

Zhou Mei had previously told her father about this, but it didn't go through. Her father said there might still be nails from Sang Sheng's side in the army, so they hadn't made any big moves for now. If they cornered the dog and drove it into a desperate situation, things could get ugly if they suddenly attacked.

"Okay, we'll do our best to cooperate and hopefully catch them smoothly."

Yingyi knew General Zhou must have concerns, so he didn't say more.

Bidding farewell to Zhou Mei as she hurried away, Ying Yi went straight to find Ying Ao, Ying Hun, as well as Hei Bao and the captain of the Chao Yang squad. He relayed Zhou Mei's words and made some arrangements and deployments.

Of course, those in seclusion are unaware of these things.

But five days later, even if they wanted to pretend they didn't know, it was impossible because zombie mutants appeared inside the capital base. They were just like mutants, possessing special abilities, and were rampaging through the base, plunging it into chaos.

"Tasker, please cease and rest. Cooperate with the personnel of the Small World to hunt down the future Zombie King!"

The communicator's voice suddenly entered Wu Lianyi's mind. Fortunately, she had successfully passed the fourth level and was recuperating her energy, otherwise, it would have been easy to get out of breath unexpectedly.

"Zombie King Where is he"

Wu Lianyi's eyes instantly opened, she asked while getting up.

"Right inside the Capital Base!"

"Is the defense of the capital base so bad"

Wu Lianyi frowned.

"There was a problem inside the base."

The sound of banging on the door broke off the communicator's words.

Wu Lianyi was already dressed, and she threw open the door with a sweep of her hand and said:

What happened

"Sang Sheng released his trained zombie with special abilities, wreaking havoc at the base. All superpowered beings will have to fight."

Eagle Wing glanced at Wu Lianyi and immediately discovered that the other party had broken through again.

"Did General Zhou kill that man"

Wu Lianyi said directly, this kind of hitting a snake without killing it, being bitten back is the most troublesome.

The other party used a decoy to make a golden cicada escape its shell.

"What a hassle."

"The military is evacuating survivors from the inner city, and we're responsible for intercepting those superpowered zombies. Ideally, we want to take them all out."

Eaglewing walked and talked, just as he happened to meet up with Eaglemastiff, Sunwang, Yan'eagle, Eaglehawk, and a few others.

"I heard there's a level 5 zombie inside, for team members with abilities below level 4, I arranged them to evacuate survivors. There's no need to go in as cannon fodder."

The eagle mastiff spoke directly to the crowd.

"Captain, quickly order someone to inform General Zhou. Now, immediately activate the crystal core defense shield and encircle the zombies within the inner city. This will prevent them from escaping and summoning more zombies to lay siege."

A scene flashed through Wu Lianyi's mind, and she immediately shouted to Ying Yi.

At this time, they charged into the inner city against the tide of fleeing survivors. They just happened to see a pale and thin zombie biting on the neck of a survivor, blood gushing instantly, but the survivor's face was filled with enjoyment, making the scene even more chaotic.

"Flying Eagle, go and notify!"

Eagle Wing grabbed Sun Wang and roared, "Among us all, I am the fastest!"

Yes, Captain!

Sun Wang gritted his teeth, his figure flashing, he darted into the crowd and vanished in an instant.

"Is this it"

Wu Lianyi asked the communicator in her mind.

"Yes!"

Because this zombie has good-looking features, besides his pale skin, bloodshot eyes and a set of nice teeth, he looks like a sickly young man if he doesn't bite people. Who would have thought that such a person could be so vicious

An ability user had already launched an attack, a large fireball flying towards the opponent's head. The opponent dodged it with a slight tilt of their head, and then, in a single leap, they clenched their fist and charged at the ability user.

At the same time, the canopy above slowly closed, and the core defense shield was activated.""I wonder what brings you to see me, madam"The King said, "You can help us escape from here, you just need to release those who have mistakenly entered here.""Yes, madam, what else can I do for you...
