Chapter 135 Zombie Siege

The zombie tiger was too hard to beat!

All the ability users who fought against it nearly ground their back teeth to powder. Even the mutant trumpet creeper, which had some fighting ability, felt it had too few "hands and feet."

Outside the city, there were still zombie animals and zombies waiting to be whipped open by it. Not only could it not budge that big lump inside the city, but it kept pawing at it!

It almost got its roots dug out by that tiger-not-tiger, skeleton-not-skeleton thing!

Axi!

Was it easy for it to find a "home" to stay in?

The scattered zombies that had rushed in gradually increased in number, and other zombie animals joined them.

The zombie tiger not only attracted most of the firepower, but also seriously injured many ability users. Fortunately, many people had eaten lunchboxes one after another.

The increased speed of recovery from injuries allowed ability users who would have been killed with one blow to hang on to their last breath and be rescued. Ability users who had suffered some minor injuries found that their wounds were healing after fighting for a long time!

It took nearly ten hours, and even with the support of the lunchboxes, dozens of ability users still sacrificed their lives. This zombified mutant tiger was finally eliminated!

Before the crowd could rejoice, they were faced with an even bigger problem.

They were truly surrounded by zombies.

The battle with the zombie tiger had been too intense, and the city walls were drafty on all sides. Now, the zombies surrounding the city were packed tightly together, with no gaps.

In addition, the zombie tiger had beaten the mutant trumpet creepers on the city walls to near death and in tatters.

The mutant trumpet creepers had lost their previous swagger and dominance. Now, they were deeply rooted underground, their branches and leaves curled up on the city walls, in a posture of giving up and admitting defeat, which almost made the other ability users laugh!

Hilarious!

Did they think they were the only ones who wanted to give up? They wanted to give up too!

"As long as we get through this, kill them all! Then the base will be completely established!"

Someone, no one knew who, shouted this sentence from the crowd.

Zhen Hu, who was wiping sweat and drinking water, was slightly stunned. The NPCs might not understand, but the players all understood.

Their survival mission was about to succeed. As long as they survived tonight, they would clear the game.

He looked back in the direction of the inner city and suddenly chuckled.

In fact, as long as he hid in the inner city and survived this night, the mission would be completely completed. It didn't seem to matter to him whether the base was destroyed or not.

The additional mission, it was okay not to complete it, right?

But, he didn't want to do that.

How could the game end with the base being destroyed?

Was he going to have to wander around with his child in the future?

Zhen Hu, who didn't even have a girlfriend in reality, was already thinking about the scene of his future being filled with children and grandchildren.

"Yeah! Kill them all, and then... we'll all go home!"

Zhen Hu shouted out along with the person who had just spoken. The people who knew Zhen Hu next to him were slightly surprised, and then soft laughter broke out in the crowd, from both players and NPCs. Then someone else shouted, "Kill them all, to avenge those who sacrificed themselves!"

…

"What's going on in the outer city? I thought I heard some noise."

Ming Mei turned her body towards the direction of the noise coming from outside the door. There was another pile of crystal nucleus powder next to her.

"Miss Ming, is there, is there any more lunchboxes?"

Before she could get an answer, the words urging for lunchboxes came from outside again.

"Yes... outside, is it not enough?"

"Alas! It was mainly zombie animals before, but now there's a bunch of zombies, and the inner city is constantly transferring people out. These lunchboxes are still not enough!"

"How much more?"

Ming Mei reached out and was about to feel for a crystal nucleus on the table, but a crystal nucleus was stuffed into her hand.

"Thank you." She thanked in a low voice. Ming Mei's eyes were always looking elsewhere, and she didn't hear the other person speak for a long time.

"About... two hundred more." The person who came to get the lunchboxes was glared at by the young man next to Ming Mei, and he originally wanted to say three hundred, but after careful consideration, he only said two hundred.

"Okay, wait a moment. You go ahead and get busy."

Listening to the hurried footsteps of the person leaving, Ming Mei breathed a heavy sigh of relief. The crystal nucleus in her hand had once again turned into powder and disappeared from between her fingers.

"You can't see anymore."

Suddenly, the young man's voice that appeared next to her startled her.

"Xiao Feng?"

"Is it not okay to continuously make lunchboxes?" Xiao Feng ignored Ming Mei calling his name and said with certainty, "In the past, you had a fixed amount of lunchboxes you made every day. If you could keep making them by absorbing crystal nucleus energy, you would have done so a long time ago."

"..."

Ming Mei was speechless by what Xiao Feng said.

What he said was right, but at this point, she couldn't allow herself to continue slacking off.

At worst, she would try to hang on until tomorrow, right?

Even though this was such a life-threatening thing, Ming Mei didn't understand why she could still be so self-deceiving at this moment. She felt the crystal nucleus representing her ability in her head was disintegrating, and the energy escaping from it had already caused her eyes to start to go blind. Next, she couldn't guarantee what would happen.

In the end, Ming Mei put on a somewhat twisted and fragile smile and pretended to be relaxed, saying, "Alright, alright, if you feel sorry for me, help me make lunchboxes, okay? Maybe the lunchboxes you make will be eaten by our own people~"

Outer city battlefield,

"Brother, it hurts so much... I don't want to live anymore, it really hurts..."

Lu Xiaoyao was covered in blood and held in Lu Gui's arms. One of her arms had been bitten and broken in the previous battle with the zombies, and a large area of flesh on her back had disappeared. The deep, bone-visible scars made Lu Gui's hands holding Lu Xiaoyao unable to be placed properly.

Lu Xiaoyao, who had always been afraid of pain, cried with a face full of blood and tears in Lu Gui's arms.

"Lu Xiaoyao, open your eyes and talk to me!"

Lu Gui watched her crying getting softer and softer, and her eyes were gradually losing their luster and about to close, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted again.

"Sister?"

Suddenly Lu Gui's body stiffened slightly. Lu Xiaoyao heard this sentence in a daze, which made him think of the past again.

[Sister, Xiaoyao will give you my body, please don't abandon me, okay?]

[Xiaoyao is most afraid of pain, and can't kill bugs, and can't find food. Xiaoyao will give you my body, please help Xiaoyao live, okay?]

[Sister, from now on we will be one...]

…

"It hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much!" Muttering to herself, Lu Xiaoyao suddenly opened her eyes wide, her body convulsing and wailing. Her face was ferocious, her eyes could no longer focus, but she still turned her head towards Lu Gui's direction and begged, "It hurts so much... brother, help me, okay? It hurts so much, I don't want to live anymore, it really hurts!"

"I'll do it."

Suddenly, a pair of hands reached over to take her away from Lu Gui's arms. Lu Gui turned his head and saw Wang Wenying, who was risking her life to come to the battlefield to rescue the wounded.

"Give her to me, she can still be saved."

Her gaze was gentle, her tone firm. Lu Gui obediently placed Lu Xiaoyao, who was still clinging to her last breath, on the stretcher behind her, and at the same time gritted his teeth in Lu Xiaoyao's ear, "Two more hours! Lu Xiaoyao, hold on! You have to live alone and work hard in the future!"

"It hurts..."

Watching Wang Wenying and her companions quickly evacuate with the seriously injured Lu Xiaoyao, Lu Gui did not stare at their departing backs for long, and then turned his head.

Looking at the constantly rushing zombies again, the anger rising in his heart instantly ignited his whole body, supporting him to throw himself into the battle!

This time, the surviving players finally all joined the battle to defend the base.

Even if some players still remembered the mission in the early stage, they immediately took the initiative to go to the outer city to participate in the war after they successfully survived the one-year limit mission.

There were also some who were forcibly taken back to the inner city due to serious injuries and safely passed the one-year limit mission.

For example, Zhen Hu, who had lost one hand and one foot.

He was seen by Zhen Po, who went to the battlefield to deliver ammunition, and was directly carried back to the inner city for rescue.

Zhen Hu, who had just been rescued, was constantly nagged by Zhen Po, asking what was going on with his life-risking fighting style. Zhen Hu just smiled silly and muttered, "But, they call me Dad!"

Zhen Po: "..."

The two little beans silently standing outside the medical room looked at each other, and then they turned to look at Xiao Feng who brought them here. Xiao Feng touched their heads and asked in a different adult male voice than usual, "Do you have any regrets?"

"No." Sen Ye shook his head, but his sister Sen Xuan, had one, naively asked, "Can he continue to be my dad in the future?"

Sen Ye: "Dare you ask this in front of Mom again?"
