"These zombies are really fast!"
Wang Luo stood on the newly built city wall, calmly watching the approaching zombies.
The base had just begun its expansion, and the zombies were already coming to cause trouble!
These guys truly couldn't stand to see humans prosper.
"It's that human!"
The Epic Devourer, standing at the volcanic crater, saw Wang Luo.
It had a deep memory of this human, having been defeated by him even when Wang Luo was only Diamond-level. He was very powerful.
But it hadn't seen that human for a long time!
At that time, it wondered if that human had fallen ill and died, or something else?
To think he would reappear now!
"This human disappeared for so long and suddenly reappeared; he's likely up to no good!"
"It's possible that the expansion of the human base has something to do with him."
This further solidified its resolve to destroy the new city wall!
After accumulating for these past few months,
The number of zombies had increased.
The surrounding mountainous areas were all filled with zombies.
Not only were there zombies from the volcano, but also reinforcements from surrounding cities, their numbers reaching a terrifying level!
However, despite the large number of zombies,
Zhao Qingxuan was prepared. The zombies were blocked outside the new city wall before they could even reach it.
The battle erupted instantly.
But this did not affect the construction of the new city wall.
Amidst the flashing energy lights, the wall rose steadily.
With the participation of a large number of Earth Element Awakened individuals, the construction work progressed very rapidly.
Before long,
Yue Bai arrived with his people and joined the battle.
He was assigned by Zhao Qingxuan to take over her defensive duties.
Although it was his first time joining, dealing with zombies was something he was all too familiar with, so he smoothly took over the mission!
"I didn't expect the Awakened individuals here to have all reached King-level!"
Yue Bai was somewhat astonished.
He could clearly see that everyone on the battlefield was not of a low level, and the amount of energy source crystals required for so many people to reach King-level was immense!
At this stage,
SSS-level Awakened individuals were core personnel and normally wouldn't need to take action.
However, as it was his first day, he had to show some skill to gain everyone's trust!
The next moment, he unleashed the SSS-level异术 (special ability) "Crashing Waves"!
Immense energy transformed into a terrifying sea wave dozens of feet high, sweeping forward and instantly obliterating the zombies in its path!
"Is this an SSS-level 异术?"
Someone exclaimed in shock.
Such a terrifying spectacle could only be displayed by an SSS-level 异术.
Zhou Yiming and others watched with envy.
Several months had passed, and they still hadn't comprehended their own SSS-level 异术. The fundamental reason was that the current battles didn't put enough pressure on them to stimulate their physical potential!
Yue Bai spread his ten fingers,
Countless blue bubbles appeared from his fingertips and shot out, striking the zombies.
Visibly, the bubbles gradually grew larger, transforming into water spheres that eventually enveloped the zombies. With a loud bang, all the water spheres exploded, and the zombies encased within were directly killed!
"Holy crap, water abilities can be used like this?"
Some water element Awakened individuals nearby stared in amazement. They had never even imagined such a maneuver!
And while others were fighting,
Yang Shu had also arranged the more than twenty thousand people who had come with Yue Bai. There was still some vacant space in the previous residential area, which was perfect for housing these people!
Although the workload was substantial, there was a considerable number of Earth Element Awakened individuals. It took less than two days for the third layer of the city wall to be completed.
The city wall was tens of meters high and seven to eight meters thick!
Although made of earth, it was compressed and solidified by the Earth Element Awakened individuals' abilities, making it exceptionally strong. Even the current zombies could not easily destroy it!
After the third layer of the city wall was fully constructed,
All the Awakened individuals decisively moved from the second layer to the third layer.
From then on,
This would be the place to fight the zombies.
"According to the plan, this layer is a mixed residential and planting area!"
Yang Shu said, standing beside Wang Luo.
According to the plan,
With such a vast area, if used reasonably, it would be enough for over a hundred thousand people to live in, with room to spare.
Wang Luo nodded: "There shouldn't be a significant increase in population in the short term!"
"As long as we ensure there's enough living space, other areas can be utilized. Almost all the people I brought back are Awakened individuals, and their future demand for resources will be high, so the planting area must be sufficient!"
"Oh, and I also brought back a batch of异兽 (mutated beasts). You can arrange for them later!"
"异兽? How many?" Yang Shu asked in surprise.
"Not many, only a little over a hundred!"
"Among them, there's an SSS-level and several SS-level powerful beings. The intelligence of 异兽 is no different from humans, so they must be treated fairly when arranging them!"
"Especially, warn some people not to have any improper thoughts about those 异兽. Those 异兽 are not for eating, so don't cause any trouble!"
Yang Shu was even more shocked.
Wang Luo had gone out and returned with two SSS-level powerhouses.
This batch alone had greatly increased the base's strength!
"Improper thoughts are unlikely, but many people will likely be willing to cooperate with them and form teams!"
"Before, many people went out to look for 异兽, but they found nothing!"
"Heh, that will depend on their abilities. If they can make the 异兽 willingly follow them, that's their skill. I promised the 异兽 leader that I would coexist peacefully with them!"
...
Seeing the city wall completed, and the zombies not even reaching it,
This made the Epic Devourer very angry, yet helpless.
They couldn't wear them down to death, and they couldn't break through with a surprise attack. What else could they do?
They could only wait until the end of the year to evolve, and for the legendary reinforcements to arrive, before launching a surprise attack on the humans!
But the problem was,
Did the Epic-level powerhouses have the ability to defeat these people?
The Devourer felt it was unlikely!
After much thought, it seemed that the best way to make the base collapse was to completely destroy their source of resources.
But the breeding grounds were now impossible to infiltrate!
"Destroy their resources!!!"
"If only there was an ability to travel through the earth, they could easily destroy their resources!"
According to the Devourer's guess,
These people's resources must be hidden in some secret location,
And such a place would definitely be of utmost importance, which they could never access.
If they could scout out their resource storage location, they could secretly dig a tunnel from underground and directly destroy their resources. This was the best method!
"We still have to wait for the legendary-level powerhouses to arrive. A legendary tracker would have the ability to locate the humans' resource location!"
The Epic Devourer waited quietly.
Everything had to wait until they evolved and the barrier weakened before they could act!
If this base couldn't be destroyed in its hands, its heart would never be at peace!
