In the blink of an eye.
More than seventy percent of the forty-odd people clutched their heads and cried out, already losing their combat effectiveness.
The defensive and offensive formations could no longer be maintained.
Buzz!
Common hornets flew in, covering the sky.
The defense had been breached.
They were going to engage in close combat!
"It's over..."
This was Xia Jin's last thought.
Caw!
At the critical moment.
A bird's cry came from high in the sky, almost simultaneously.
A figure abruptly appeared in front.
"Die."
The voice was indifferent.
Before anyone could see what happened, it seemed that the space around the three queen bees twisted.
The next moment.
The queen bees were crushed into small balls.
Those who had been suffering from splitting headaches instantly recovered.
But the defensive formation had failed.
The swarm of bees flew closer!
In this moment of crisis.
Xia Jin saw the person who had appeared out of nowhere, standing at the forefront, blocking the swarm, gray mist emanating from his body.
The swarm attacked the person in front first.
Shockingly!
Anything that touched the gray mist seemed to...
Be decomposed?
Be teleported to another space?
In any case.
As long as it touched the gray mist, it would disappear into thin air, extremely bizarre.
This was not the end!
A large number of space-distorting shields appeared.
They surrounded the entire swarm.
And he.
Holding one in each hand, swords that also distorted space, he was slaughtering his way through the swarm.
The fight lasted only for a moment.
Three seconds?
Or perhaps five seconds?
Under the high-speed slashes of over a hundred per second.
In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with hornet corpses, all torn apart by spatial blades.
The gray mist vanished.
The shields disappeared.
Qin Feng shook his hands, retracted the spatial blades, and walked towards Xia Jin, "Join my base."
Xia Jin: ...
Dozens of subordinates: ...
They hadn't reacted yet.
Dozens of people stood like sculptures.
Too strong!
The swarm that had almost destroyed them was no match for this person!
It was a slow description.
In reality, it had taken less than ten seconds from start to finish.
Xia Jin thought he was already very strong.
But...
Compared to this person, it was like a chasm!
"I'm talking to you!" Qin Feng said impatiently.
Time was of the essence.
He still needed to find more survivors.
"Ah?!" Xia Jin snapped back to attention.
"Join my base."
"Okay!"
Xia Jin didn't hesitate.
Putting aside the life-saving grace, following such a top-tier expert offered a greater chance of survival.
"Follow me."
Qin Feng called down the tiger-headed eagle, preparing to have it send the people back.
"Wait!"
Xia Jin, having regained his senses, quickly said, "My base has hundreds more people!"
He had a base?
And hundreds more people?
Qin Feng was overjoyed.
...
Five days.
Led by Qin Feng, with teams one and two as the core, and the commanders of various sub-bases as assistants.
Radiating outwards in all directions from Yan Mountain.
Comprehensive expansion!
By the last day, the base had grown from 180,000 people to nearly 600,000.
What did this mean?
After the last storyline, the global population was left with 400 million.
Of these.
Da Xia, which accounted for one-fifth of the global population, had a remaining population of about 80 million.
600,000 out of 80 million was not a large number.
Less than one percent.
But these 80 million people were distributed across 9.6 million square kilometers of land.
Spread across more than thirty provinces, cities, and autonomous regions.
To gather 600,000 people was incredible.
Currently.
Apart from Qin Feng's base, the largest survivor bases globally had not even reached ten thousand people.
Of course, in the areas they had searched, not all survivors had joined them yet.
Many were hiding in the dark, unaware that Qin Feng was looking for people.
There were also a minority of bases.
Preferring to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of an ox.
Wouldn't it be better to be a boss themselves than a subordinate?
For these types...
No coercion!
Unlike the mandatory conscription back then, which was for individuals with very high potential who would become top experts in the future.
The vast majority of ordinary survivors did not have as much future value.
If some chose to court death, why should he stop them?
It was worth mentioning.
These past few days.
Zheng Rui, with He Dong's help, had accelerated the construction of many sub-bases.
Combined with the previously built sub-bases.
They were enough to accommodate a million people!
Finally.
Time reached the last day.
With only a few hours left before the storyline officially began.
Before dawn.
Among the 600,000 people in the base, all combat personnel who had reached level 5, led by Qin Feng, set out collectively.
At exactly seven in the morning.
They arrived at the open area south of Yan Mountain Base, situated between Yan Mountain and Shangjing City.
In the past.
This was the northernmost part of the North China Plain.
Shangjing was located on the plain, and further north was the Yan Mountain range.
After "2012", the elevation of Shangjing increased significantly, and this area transformed from a plain into a plateau, but it remained flat.
Team One and Team Two were on the backs of flying beasts.
The others ran on the opposite side.
Level 5.
And combat personnel.
There were approximately 80,000 people who met this requirement.
Xia Jin was at the very front of this group.
"What is that...?!" he suddenly widened his eyes.
Ahead.
A large number of figures vaguely appeared.
They were dense, stretching as far as the eye could see.
"It's zombies!" someone shouted in panic.
Zombies!
A horde of zombies!
They outnumbered them countless times.
"Don't be nervous, they're our people!" Qin Feng shouted from the back of the bird.
Their people?
Tens of thousands of people were stunned.
When did zombies become their people?
From the very beginning, after experiencing the "The Day After Tomorrow" storyline, humans suffered massive deaths caused by zombies.
They preyed on humans.
They were the public enemy of all mankind, weren't they?
"Let's begin."
Qin Feng nodded to the high-ranking officials of Team One and Team Two.
The flying beasts landed.
The high-ranking officials of the two teams immediately dispersed, following Qin Feng's earlier instructions to divide these 80,000 people.
Selected captains of different ranks based on strength.
Finally.
Dozens of people formed combat squads.
On the other side.
Qin Feng headed straight for the two leading zombies.
"Brother!"
Shuke and Beita were very excited.
After more than a month apart, they saw their brother again!
Of course.
Whether they were genuinely excited or just pretending to flatter Qin Feng – who knew!
"Tell me about it." Qin Feng said calmly.
"Yes!"
Over the past month.
Shuke and Beita, leading the newly formed legions, had expanded in all directions, subjugating more zombies.
They were both level 8.
Initially, under Qin Feng's personal intervention, they had also subdued several mutated creatures.
Several mutated creatures working together were far stronger than other legions.
Therefore.
The process went very smoothly.
Until they received Qin Feng's order to arrive here today.
Under their command.
The zombie army numbered over ten million.
Among them.
There were thousands of mutated creatures.
This was undoubtedly an astonishing number.
The nuclear explosion caused the dead to become zombies, resulting in an initial zombie population of hundreds of millions in Da Xia.
However, zombies also died.
In the "Undead Legion" storyline, while zombies hunted humans, weren't they also hunted by humans?
The global catastrophe of "2012" caused a large number of zombies to die.
Especially in the last storyline.
Mutated creatures slaughtered a large number of zombies.
Currently.
The total number of zombies in Da Xia was, at most, two to three hundred million.
Shuke and Beita began subjugating them over a month ago, following Qin Feng's instructions. /
Compared to Qin Feng's recruitment of survivors, their achievements were more impressive.
Accounting for 4% of Da Xia's total zombie population!
