Qin Feng was shocked.
Normally, even though the three of them could communicate in the chat group, Han Xiao never actively sought him out.
How could she not know that Qin Feng had to remain extremely vigilant while hunting mutated creatures outside?
He couldn't be casually interrupted!
Conversely.
Since she had contacted him proactively, it must mean something major had happened.
"What's wrong?" Qin Feng quickly asked.
"Seafood... so much seafood!"
"What?!"
Qin Feng was utterly confused.
Where did so much seafood come from?
Last time.
Neptune had indeed led a large number of seafood creatures ashore.
But the location was a coastal city, and they hadn't advanced inland, nor had they threatened Yan Mountain Base.
Han Xiao's proactive contact.
Indicated that this seafood landing posed an extreme threat to Yan Mountain Base.
It was likely targeted!
Should he rush back immediately?
No!
The base had only a little over twenty thousand people.
Facing countless seafood creatures, they were far from enough to defeat them.
"Have they engaged yet?" Qin Feng asked urgently.
"Not yet!"
Zhou Haiyang could summon dark flying creatures.
Liu Pi could control mutated flying creatures.
The two of them took turns patrolling around the base every day.
Coincidentally.
They discovered a large number of seafood creatures approaching from the direction of Yanjing.
They must have landed from the Yellow Sea.
"Wait for me!"
After listening to Han Xiao's account, Qin Feng hurriedly contacted Neptune: "Neptune, quickly lure that big one out, kill it in the shortest possible time, hurry!"
The seafood army was too numerous.
He wasn't afraid.
But most of the people at the base had average strength and would inevitably face slaughter.
The only way was to...
Activate the honey fungus!
Currently.
The honey fungus was kept frozen, and it could only be fully controlled once Xiao Ruoruo reached level 9.
And for Xiao Ruoruo to reach level 9 in a short period...
She would need to absorb two level 9 crystals!
He had two of them.
But only one was full of energy; the other had already absorbed more than half of its energy.
...
Northeast of Shangjing.
South of Yan Mountain.
A vast army of seafood creatures was advancing towards Yan Mountain.
Leading them was the giant crocodile!
It had obtained intelligence about Qin Feng from Aleja and knew the general location of the base.
Seafood creatures were fast swimmers.
But they moved slowly on land.
It didn't take a direct route but found a map, first heading north from the sea area of Hou Hou Kingdom, then绕ing through the South China Sea and the East China Sea, directly to the Yellow Sea.
After landing from the Yellow Sea, it wouldn't be far from Yan Mountain.
Not long ago.
It captured a survivor and used mental communication through a dolphin to inquire about the precise location of the base.
"Finally, I can get revenge, haha..."
"A base with over twenty thousand people?"
"Then, let them all be annihilated!"
In this area, many ability users formed teams to collect supplies in the cities.
Finding a few ability users wasn't difficult.
Obtaining Qin Feng's information was even easier.
Previously.
Qin Feng's base had repeatedly repelled zombie legions entering Yan Mountain.
After witnessing the strength of Qin Feng's base, some bases chose to join.
But there were also those who didn't join.
Everyone had different ideas.
Some were willing to follow the strong to survive better in the apocalypse.
Others preferred to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix.
Wasn't it good to be the boss of their own base?
Why be a subordinate?
Thus, ability users who came to the city to collect supplies were captured by the seafood creatures and interrogated for information.
After obtaining the information, they were simply eaten.
The giant crocodile was very excited.
The opportunity for revenge was within reach!
During this period, it had used a pyramid scheme-like method to subdue countless seafood creatures.
Besides itself, there was another level 9 creature.
Over a dozen level 8 seafood creatures.
As many as two hundred level 7 creatures.
Below level 7...
Countless!
The entire seafood army numbered an unbelievable ten million, with the weakest being level 5.
Was level 5 weak?
One had to realize.
The current zombies, excluding mutated ones, were generally only level 5.
The army of tens of millions swept through like a storm.
They ate whatever they saw.
They killed whoever they caught.
They didn't even spare zombies.
Of course, killing other creatures was incidental; the true target was only one.
Yan Mountain!
Qin Feng's base!
Seafood creatures moved much slower on land than in the sea.
At the current speed, it would take another hour or so to arrive.
"Roar!"
The giant crocodile roared.
Encouraging its subordinates.
...
Yan Mountain Base.
Even though Qin Feng hadn't returned, everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.
Despite the tension.
Having experienced countless battles, how could they be easily frightened?
A team of elites, excluding Liu Pi, had all assembled.
South of Yan Mountain.
They formed a defense line in the direction from which the seafood army was approaching.
As for Liu Pi...
He was guarding the honey fungus.
Every now and then, the honey fungus needed to be re-frozen.
He had been very busy lately.
He was not only the leader of the sub-base but also took turns patrolling with Zhou Haiyang, and periodically had to add another layer of ice to the honey fungus.
If it wasn't sealed, it would come back to life.
Previously.
He and Tang Xiaoying had guarded the honey fungus together.
Now that Tang Xiaoying was absent.
As the deputy captain, she had to hold the front line when the captain was not at the base.
South of Yan Mountain.
Over twenty thousand people, under Tang Xiaoying's command, had established a solid defense line.
However...
Whether it was solid or not depended on the opponent.
"Deputy Captain, how do we fight this battle?" He Dong's face was grim.
Zhou Haiyang was constantly scouting.
Constantly sending back the latest news.
The seafood army was truly too numerous, reaching tens of millions!
"Capture the leader first."
Tang Xiaoying wasn't too nervous: "When the seafood arrives, the defense line will fully engage to pin them down, and Haiyang will lead a team to ascend - for a decapitation strike!"
"Yes!"
Zhou Haiyang nodded.
A head-on confrontation was unrealistic.
Twenty thousand people against tens of millions of seafood was suicide!
Tang Xiaoying was right.
As long as the strongest seafood creatures were eliminated, the army of tens of millions, without a commander, might scatter like birds and beasts.
Disintegrate into a complete mess!
"These mutated creatures are already at a high level, and their intelligence is not low,"
Xiao Ruoruo frowned and whispered, "When they realize the huge disparity in numbers, even if their leader is killed, they might not necessarily scatter."
"What if they continue and launch a fierce attack?"
Tang Xiaoying remained silent.
This was precisely what she was worried about.
A decapitation strike.
Could only deal with a small portion of the strongest seafood creatures.
If all tens of millions of seafood creatures swarmed forward, this defense line...
Would be vulnerable!
Tens of millions of seafood creatures!
Even if they stood still and let you kill them, you'd be exhausted to death!
"I'll go scout again."
Zhou Haiyang summoned his dark giant bird.
Less than five minutes later, he returned.
His face was extremely grim: "At their speed... they will arrive in another ten minutes."
Everyone's expression was extremely solemn.
Only ten minutes left?
"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Tang Xiaoying ordered.
Caw!
Just then.
A bird's cry echoed from afar.
The next moment, a sea eagle with a tiger's head circled in the air, and Qin Feng appeared before them directly using spatial displacement.
"Captain is back!" Everyone rejoiced.
In their eyes.
Qin Feng was an invincible god of war.
An omnipotent being.
With him around, they had never lost, and no problem was unsolvable.
"This time, it all depends on Ruoruo."
Qin Feng smiled and took out two level 9 crystals.
Two?
Level 9 crystals?
Xiao Ruoruo was overjoyed at first, but her expression immediately changed: "There's no time!"
