"The humanity in a prosperous era and an apocalyptic era are different, aren't they?"
The atmosphere in the base was suffocating.
By now, many people no longer placed their hopes on Zhou Quan and the others.
"I won't allow you to talk about Brother Zhou like that. He will definitely find reinforcements!"
A young man roared,
He lunged directly at the man who had spoken, and soon they were brawling above.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"I didn't say anything wrong. Even if they find reinforcements, by that time, we would probably have already turned into zombies!"
"What's the point?"
The crowd quickly became restless.
"Even if I die, I don't want to become a zombie like a wild beast!"
Someone said with a resolute expression, already taking out a dagger to end their own life.
As long as one died completely before being bitten by a zombie, they would not turn into such a creature.
"Hahaha, Zhou Quan and the others are bringing reinforcements. We're saved!"
Just as the crowd was in chaos,
The awakened ones still resisting the zombies noticed Zhou Quan and his group behind the zombies.
"What? Zhou Quan is back with reinforcements?"
The chaotic survivors instantly quieted down.
"I knew Brother Zhou would come to help us!"
Then, they all rushed to the windows to look down.
It was better not to look,
But the moment they did, all of them discovered that Zhou Quan was only followed by a few hundred people!
"We're finished. What can a few hundred people do?"
"We, so many people, couldn't break through the zombie encirclement. Are they coming to sacrifice themselves?"
All the hope they had just seen was instantly dashed.
"Useless Zhou Quan, what can you do with such a small number of reinforcements? Why don't you just die?"
Someone cursed venomously!
"Why are you cursing? What right do you have to insult Brother Zhou?"
"So what if I curse him? He failed to fulfill our trust, so he's incompetent. I should have charged out myself back then!"
"Then why didn't you? You cowered like a dog in the back. When they were choosing people, you were so scared your head was in your pants, and you didn't dare to make a sound!"
"Besides, who do you think you are? Even if Brother Zhou didn't come back, it would have been understandable. What right do you have to curse him now?"
"He carries everyone's hopes. If he can't fulfill them now, he deserves to be cursed. Anyway, everyone will turn into zombies later, so what's wrong with cursing a few times now?"
"..."
"All of you shut up and look carefully below!"
An elder roared.
"Old man, why are you yelling? Do you believe I'll throw you down from here?"
People's hearts were completely in disarray.
Seeing no hope, everyone began to vent their dissatisfaction.
However, when they looked down again, they were stunned.
Below the tall building,
The team of 300 people had, like a sharp sword, cut their way in from the perimeter. Wherever they went, powerful mutant arts shot out, and the blocking zombies all died!
Roar roar roar~~~
The nearby zombies, smelling the scent of living humans, became even more excited and swarmed towards the group, but they could not stop the progress of the一行人.
Everyone upstairs watched in shock.
"So strong!"
Especially the awakened ones were dumbfounded. Their strength was far superior to their own!
Even Zhou Quan and a few others found it incredible.
When they were leaving,
Zhou Quan had seen that the other party only brought 300 people and thought the number was too small. He had reminded them multiple times if they wanted to bring more people.
But Zhao Qingxuan had calmly replied, "300 people is enough!"
At that time, they were still worried,
Afraid that they would not only fail to rescue people but also turn into zombies.
But now, it seemed they had worried for nothing!
This group of people was very powerful!
"This must be their main force!"
Zhou Quan thought to himself, otherwise, how could they possess such formidable strength?
However, at this moment,
A zombie of extremely large size, almost several times the size of other zombies, suddenly charged from the side. It was a Titan zombie, a boss among zombies!
"This is bad, it's actually a boss zombie!"
Zhou Quan was startled.
These zombies, being more powerful than others, were called bosses.
But before he could warn others,
Two more large-headed zombies also rushed over. Their immense power directly pushed aside the surrounding zombies.
"Oh no, even large-headed zombies have appeared?"
Zhou Quan and the few people beside him turned pale. These were the most terrifying zombies.
Upstairs,
Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom. They had encountered several boss zombies blocking their way?
"This is truly a rescue effort that has failed halfway!"
However,
The next scene made everyone's eyes widen.
A man riding a pig's back waved his hand, and a huge fire blade shot out, instantly cleaving one of the large-headed zombies in half.
"What?"
Almost everyone cried out in surprise.
The boss in their eyes was so easily split in two with a single move?
Then,
The other boss zombies that had just rushed over were all easily annihilated by those people!
"They... how are they so strong?"
Someone involuntarily swallowed.
Even with a dozen of them attacking together, they might not be able to kill those zombies!
Everyone was deeply shocked.
"This is definitely their main force!"
Zhou Quan was very confident.
"Perhaps we really have a chance to be saved!"
Someone seemed to have seen hope.
As for this situation, Zhao Qingxuan and the others were already accustomed to it.
Boss zombies were indeed powerful. Among those of the same level, only those with double S rating or above could defeat them. However, the level difference was too great, making it easy to eliminate these zombies.
Not long after,
Zhao Qingxuan and the others had cleared a path into the base.
"You go explain the situation to them. If possible, we'll head back as soon as possible!"
Zhao Qingxuan said to Zhou Quan and the others.
"Okay!"
The latter nodded and walked directly towards the crowd.
A moment later, arguments could be heard from that side.
"It seems they've had a disagreement!"
Qi Sheng frowned.
"No matter what, since we're here, we can't leave empty-handed!"
Zhao Qingxuan said calmly.
Qi Sheng nodded. As an SS-class awakened one, he was a high-ranking member of the base and had access to information faster than others.
He was also very clear about how the base would develop in the future, so manpower was essential.
Not long after,
Zhou Quan and the others walked over with helpless expressions.
"What? They're unwilling to leave?"
Zhao Qingxuan asked.
"It's not that they're unwilling to leave, but some people, after learning that the entire world has become an apocalypse, are more inclined to hide in the mountains."
Zhou Quan shook his head.
Anluo City was much larger than Ningcheng County, and the zombies were naturally more numerous and more dangerous!
Many people were unwilling to go.
They preferred to stay in the peaceful mountainous areas, living one day at a time.
"Is that so?"
Zhao Qingxuan smiled. "In that case, we don't need to concern ourselves with them!"
"Tell those who are willing to leave to pack their supplies, and we'll leave here quickly. As for the others, let them continue to fend for themselves here!"
