Although the three of them were also Black Iron realm experts, they did not possess many powerful skills.
Kong Qingshu's Shadowless Whip strike severed the head of one of them, followed by a Dragon Wading Through Phoenix strike that severely wounded another.
Just as she was about to finish off the last one, seven or eight figures suddenly rushed from a distance.
Kong Qingshu turned and fled out of the camp.
Under the boost of her wind-attribute ability, her speed was incredible, and she vanished from sight in an instant.
"This is clearly an internal rebellion within the military. I don't know who can still be trusted, so I can't go to other camps for reinforcements."
Kong Qingshu mused as she ran.
In fact, she knew in her heart that if she went to Qin Shilei, she could easily rescue her father.
But Fei Ge's words still echoed in her ears. Could Qin Shilei still be trusted?
Even if Qin Shilei was not involved in this matter, would he truly be willing to help her?
After a moment of thought, Kong Qingshu still bought a car with a crystal core by the roadside and sped towards Qin Shilei's camp.
...
By this time, Qin Shilei had finished investigating the situation with the zombie horde.
He had chosen a pedestrian street over a hundred meters long as the battlefield for sniping zombies.
Using the Qiankun Ring, he transported many abandoned cars to block the intersections of three or four streets adjacent to the pedestrian street.
This way, the vast majority of zombies would only be able to pass through this pedestrian street.
When An Qian and the others led the members of the Rock Defense Brigade to arrive, the zombie army had already reached within a hundred meters of the street entrance.
"Open fire."
Qin Shilei gave the order, and the sound of countless machine guns erupted, felling zombies row after row.
However, ammunition was limited, and the power of the machine guns had been greatly reduced. Mutated zombies also had high resistance to bullets. After eliminating two to three thousand zombies, the horde had closed in to within twenty to thirty meters.
Qin Shilei gave another order: "Retreat into the shops."
The members of the Rock Defense Brigade retreated into the various shops along the pedestrian street and moved to the windows on the upper floors.
Qin Shilei, An Qian, and a few other powerful individuals also retreated from the trucks at the street entrance to a nearby rooftop.
Small cars and other debris were scattered along the pedestrian street every few meters, inevitably slowing down the surging zombie horde.
The people who retreated into the shops began to attack the zombies on the pedestrian street from the windows above.
Arrows, bullets, and abilities rained down, causing heavy casualties among the zombies once again.
The zombies frantically attacked the shop doors, hoping to smash them open and devour the living inside.
However, the Rock Defense Brigade members had used items to firmly barricade the doors before retreating upstairs, so they would not be able to break in for the time being.
Some mutated zombies used their jumping abilities or natural talents to climb the walls to the second floor and entered the shops through the windows. But next to these ranged attackers were many melee fighters who easily dealt with this small contingent of mutated zombies.
Qin Shilei and An Qian observed from a high vantage point, and whenever a powerful mutated zombie appeared, they would instantly teleport over and swiftly eliminate it.
"It's a Tyrant, I'll take it." An Qian's eyes lit up as she saw a huge figure rushing from a distance, and she spoke first.
Phoenix Wings!
A pair of fiery red energy wings appeared on An Qian's back. With a gentle flap, she rapidly flew towards the Tyrant.
Shield of Flames!
While flying, An Qian cast a shield on herself.
She quickly arrived in front of the Tyrant and slashed at its head with her sword.
Fiery red sword energy pierced through the blade, not only sharp but also carrying scorching heat.
The Tyrant swung a utility pole it was holding in an attempt to block An Qian's attack.
With a clang, the utility pole was severed by the sword, and then the strike landed on the Tyrant's head, leaving a deep sword mark.
After An Qian advanced to the Silver realm, her speed surpassed that of the Tyrant.
Relying on her speed advantage, she circled the Tyrant, continuously unleashing sword strikes.
In an instant, sword energy crisscrossed the air. The once incredibly powerful Tyrant had its head easily severed by An Qian and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Phoenix of Flames!
An Qian spun and waved her hand, sending dozens of high-temperature firebirds soaring in all directions.
Dozens of nearby zombies were instantly ignited by the firebirds and rapidly burned to ashes, leaving only their hard crystal cores.
An Qian bent down to pick up the Tyrant's crystal core and treasure chest, then moved to another spot and unleashed the Flame Phoenix, her area-of-effect ultimate skill, again.
In this manner, An Qian quickly killed over a thousand zombies.
Her primal energy was also consumed by more than half.
Glimmering Mirage!
An Qian transformed into an afterimage, appearing dozens of meters away from Qin Shilei in just a second.
"You should rest for a while."
Qin Shilei's short bow was constantly shooting out sharp arrows, killing ordinary mutated zombies one by one.
An Qian sat cross-legged on the rooftop and began to absorb crystal cores.
The battle would not end anytime soon, and maintaining sufficient primal energy was crucial.
At the other end of the pedestrian street.
Zhang Qiang, leading over a thousand members of the Rock Defense Brigade, stood in a state of alert.
"They're coming, everyone, stay sharp."
He held a black shield in his left hand and a short gun emitting a silver glow in his right, standing at the forefront of the crowd.
Over a hundred melee fighters stood in front with him, blocking the surging zombies, while the ability users behind them unleashed their attacks.
Every five minutes, another group of members would come up to replace them.
They would then return to the rear to recover their primal energy and abilities.
Xie Haimei, a powerful archer of the Black Iron realm, stood at a commanding height, sniping zombies that were about to harm her comrades.
As for the sporadic zombies that managed to pass through the adjacent streets, Zhang Xiaoli, who was guarding the camp, was responsible for dealing with them.
Zhang Xiaoli was in the Silver realm, her parents were also Black Iron realm experts, and she had two hundred ordinary members.
Dealing with those sporadic zombies was more than enough.
The factions that established small camps here were basically attacked by zombies to varying degrees.
The Rock Defense Brigade, due to its large numbers, attracted even more zombies.
The Rock Defense Brigade had only three thousand official members, while the attacking horde numbered seventy to eighty thousand.
There was a vast numerical disparity, but the strength of the Rock Defense Brigade was astonishing.
The lowest-ranked were all at Plastic seven-star, with many at eight or nine-star.
Coupled with Qin Shilei and the other two, who were super experts of the Silver realm.
Holding the camp was not a problem at all. Qin Shilei's current goal was to minimize casualties and hone everyone's cooperative abilities.
Half an hour passed.
Over half of the attacking zombies had been eliminated.
With the powerful mutated zombies being sniped by Qin Shilei and his group, and the zombies unable to leverage their numerical advantage, the Rock Defense Brigade had miraculously avoided a single casualty.
Kong Qingshu also arrived outside the camp and met Zhang Xiaoli.
"Xiaoli, where is the commander?"
Zhang Xiaoli glanced at her and said unpleasantly, "Are you here to explain how the military slandered us, or to apologize for the military's actions that led to the deaths of our members by luring zombies, or are you here as a member of the Rock Defense Brigade to resist the zombie attack on the camp?"
Kong Qingshu was stunned by her words, her face flushing with embarrassment.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "There is a rebellion within the military. I am here to ask the commander to save my father."
