Standing in the back of the pickup truck, several Long'an base soldiers were chatting casually.
Since the clearance operation began, the zombies in Linjiang City have been disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
All usable supplies were moved back to the base, and the corpses were thrown into the Psychic Tower for incineration.
With the support of the base, a large number of survivors are promoted to awakened ones every day.
It is located in a remote area and there are no third-order mutants. The entire three provinces around the Yangtze River seem to have entered a brief period of peace.
The strength of the human side briefly overwhelmed the zombies and mutants.
"I don't know when I can return to the end of the world..."
"The zombies are almost finished..."
"Damn, when I think about my mortgage being paid off almost, and I haven't even lived here for a few days, I feel so damn aggrieved."
After taking a nice drag on his cigarette, an older awakened person casually leaned on a vehicle-mounted machine gun and blew out a puff of smoke.
As troops who go out to fight, they have many more credit points than ordinary awakened ones.
Buying a pack of cigarettes and replacing them with a few bottles of beer is a rare treat in this doomsday world.
"Old Huang, do you want to eat shit?"
"How many mortgage payments are there... If you want, you can live in any villa in the city without talking nonsense."
The young man with a shaved head glanced at the nagging middle-aged man angrily.
Although they curse a lot, the two of them have a good relationship and they like to bicker and quarrel on weekdays.
"The end of the world cannot end so easily."
"Didn't you watch the war zone channel? There are news everywhere that the safe zone has been breached."
"If we hadn't been in Long'an, we would all be raising maggots to eat!"
"There will be a catastrophe ahead. Whether I can live to be twenty-four is a question!"
Feeling distressed, he stubbed out the cigarette he had taken a few puffs and put it in his pocket. The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and didn't care.
He also knew what he was talking about was bullshit.
Except for the survivors near Long'an and other war zones outside, no one could be as relaxed as them.
There are so many awakened ones in Long'an that everyone has started to rush to hunt down the mutants.
With strong strength and abundant weapons and supplies, their equipment and upgrade speed far exceed those in various safety zones.
So much so that the clearance teams feel so idle these days.
"Okay, stop arguing."
"If you have this spare time, why not think about how to kill the mutants."
"The team responded the day before yesterday, and there were still survivors in the city who sent out a message for help. The target was in the Linjiang East City Commercial District."
"That mutant is a bloody butcher, a first-level high-level one."
"Kill that monster, and we can collect enough credits for the inner city."
Sitting in a pickup truck, a female awakened person carrying a giant battle ax spoke in an indifferent tone to stop everyone.
"Chengdong Business District?"
Somewhat tongue-tied.
The short-haired young man touched his blue chin and looked at his captain Wang Chunhua with furrowed brows:
"Sister Wang, it's not difficult to kill the first-level senior ones. Our team is not nearly as powerful, but we can also find help from the awakened ones in the inner city."
"But there are too many zombies..."
"That damn place in the business district is where street fighting begins. The danger of zombies in the city has gone up by more than one level..."
"If you scratch it even a little, you will get infected..."
Having said that, everyone's eyes suddenly became hot.
The inner city of Long'an Base, which is the original Linjiang College area, has been built since the expansion of the base. The inner city created by the rules of ownership should not be too tempting for the awakened!
However, the inner city has a limited population capacity. The inner city with a total of 360,000 people has long been divided up.
If you want to get in, you must have at least a second-level advanced level of strength, or you must make a huge contribution.
And the second step is to exchange credit points for a small piece of residence qualification.
"Enter the inner city..."
Eyes bright.
The middle-aged man subconsciously looked back in the direction of Long'an Base and couldn't help but murmur to himself:
"Can't you see those people?"
"I just don't know if I can see Master Lin An after entering the inner city..."
There was a trace of longing in the man's eyes. It was not because Lin An's reputation was so high that every awakened person hoped to meet the strongest man in the world.
Whether it's bragging rights or whatever.
Few people know that he is a survivor who escaped from the auto repair city.
Compared with other people's image of Lin An, who only had a mysterious and powerful image, he had personally experienced the scene where Lin An intimidated all the forces before the fight to the death.
It can be said that his fate changed from that day.
"You're thinking shit!"
The short-haired man said his own words out of habit, but he also looked in the direction of the base.
"See Mr. Lin An...that one is too strong and too far away."
"I would like to meet Gao Tian. I also use a bow..."
"I heard that he can kill second-level peak mutants with one arrow. If you can teach me something..."
Eager, he touched the bow and arrow behind him with his backhand.
For survivors, they will not let go of any opportunity to become stronger.
Following Wang Chunhua's words, the entire team's discussion changed from chatting to eagerness to collect enough credits to move to the inner city.
Behind the team, several little girls who had just become awakened were chatting among themselves.
As those who have been "screened", every look is considered good.
As newly promoted Awakeners who are accompanying the team, their mission is to defeat the enemy and gain more experience in facing zombies.
As the motorcade slowly approached the city, everyone lowered their voices in tacit agreement.
Sitting in the cab, Wang Chunhua looked at his team members silently, feeling a little sad in his heart.
Everyone is looking forward to entering the inner city, but she wants to get more credits to redeem the awakening potion for her daughter.
Although the price is not expensive, she wants to exchange for the best one.
Before the end, she was just an accountant who had never even killed a chicken.
But after the doomsday broke out, her husband turned into a zombie, and she also transformed into a qualified warrior in the face of death again and again, and even became the captain of the entire Awakened team.
Clenching the battle ax in her hand, she couldn't help but smile softly when she thought of her daughter.
I've almost collected the credits. After completing the mission...
"boom!!"
A sonic boom went from far to near, quickly closing the distance.
As the strongest member of the team, Wang Chunhua stood up suddenly and hurriedly looked towards the place where the sound came from.
City center? Linjiang urban area?
Is it a fighter plane? No, Long'an will not send supersonic fighter planes to patrol in this direction.
The next second, a black dot flew towards her from a distance.
That is..
After seeing clearly that the black dots were human beings, the entire team suddenly became nervous.
Flying, speed of sound!?
Third level!
"Stop! Everyone is on alert!"
There is no third level in the war zone near Long'an. As a survivor who has survived to this day, everyone knows that it is not safe to encounter humans in the wild.
Under instinctive vigilance, everyone stared intently at the figure that was flying towards them rapidly.
Just thinking that behind them was Queen Long An, a few people felt a little calmer.
"it's okay no problem."
"Even if you are a third-level person, you probably won't take the initiative to provoke us, Long An."
This is the self-confidence brought by Lin An. In foreign negotiations, any force will take the title of No. 1 in the world into consideration.
Especially Lin An's style has quite a deterrent effect in the ears of major forces.
The figure stopped, as if observing.
The brakes were on the spot, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief after seeing clearly that the third-level awakened person was wearing a military green combat uniform.
Is it the military?
Before they could ask, they could only hear the person looking at their combat uniforms expressionlessly:
"Long'an Base?"
Slightly startled.
The leader, Wang Chunhua, barely showed his kindness and tried his best to resist the aura emanating from the other party:
"That's right, we are the Long'an Outer City Cleanup Team. May I ask which military region you are from?"
Before she finished speaking, a strong sense of crisis erupted from the woman's heart.
"boom!"
A jet-black death light suddenly penetrated her head.
The exploded brains and pulp sprayed on everyone's faces, and the sudden change caused the team to freeze on the spot.
Captain... is dead!?
The middle-aged man who was the first to come back to his senses had his eyes red, and his liver and gallbladder were splitting, and he subconsciously roared loudly:
"Enemy attack!!"
"escape!!"
Facing the third level, they had no choice but to run away. The people who came here dared to take action after confirming that they were members of Long An, which was clearly aimed at Long An.
With barely preserved rationality, the middle-aged man had only one thought in his mind, and that was to send the news back!
He wants to tell the base that a third level is coming to kill him!
However, the sudden appearance of the man in military uniform did not give them any time to react.
The next second, I saw him flashing at high speed, causing a shower of blood.
Two seconds later, standing among the corpses on the ground, the man in military uniform took a deep breath of the blood in the air, as if he was tasting delicious food.
He looked at Long An in the distance, moved his neck casually, and smiled cruelly:
"Little bugs..."
"I am coming..."
The aura burst out wantonly without any reservation, and he was clearly a third-level intermediate.
...
The ground shook, and a black tide of corpses poured out of the city crazily.
In the distance, a large number of mutants slowly converged into a long black line, as if being guided by someone.
