Chapter 466 Interesting
Zombies swarmed out of the night, packed so tight they covered the land like a blanket of ants.
Around Emberwick Base, the vast space was almost completely sealed off.
Looking out, there had to be at least tens of thousands of zombies!
The investigation team had never seen anything like this up close before.
Eris's eyes widened, feeling a bit nervous.
Even though they knew these zombies couldn't really threaten their lives, it was still hard not to feel tense.
"Seeing it on a screen is nothing like seeing it in person!" Eris whispered.
Lanny shrugged. "Just more targets to shoot at!"
"Shh, keep it down. Don't attract the zombies!" Theron reminded them in a low voice.
They immediately shut up and carefully watched the zombie horde.
At the same time, Eris didn't forget to record the zombies' movement patterns.
Countless zombies approahed the base, mixed with a ton of screeching giant rats—some were as big as kittens, some the size of dogs, some even as big as pigs.
Their numbers might even surpass the zombies, turning the ground gray.
Meanwhile, Emberwick Base was gearing up for a counterattack amidst the chaos.
A flame suddenly appeared from afar, and in an instant, it spread around the entire base!
There were three deep trenches filled with black oil around the perimeter of Emberwick Base.
Once ignited, they quickly turned into three walls of fire!
As the zombies and giant rats approached, the flames shot up into the sky.
The sound of burning and the screams of the giant rats filled the air, and hundreds of zombies and giant rats were immediately burned to death.
But soon, the zombies gathered together, forming several long lines.
The zombies at the front began to leap into the fire pits.
Although the first few zombies were quickly burned to charcoal by the raging flames, there were just too many zombies.
As more zombies jumped into the fire pits, they suppressed the flames and formed a bridge of bodies.
The zombies and rat horde behind them continued to charge forward over this bridge of corpses.
Seeing this, Otha couldn't help but frown. "They are indeed smart! If we let them keep this up, they're gonna be a big problem sooner or later."
A horde of mindless zombies wasn't scary, but if they were controlled by intelligent beings, that was terrifying!
After all, in today's world, the number of dead far exceeded the living.
Theron said in a low voice, "Individual zombies clearly lack intelligence. We need to find the ones controlling them from behind the scenes!"
"No rush, let's observe a bit more." Otha's voice was extremely calm, almost cold.
The zombies and rat horde quickly broke through two lines of defense, and the third line was already on the verge of collapse.
Emberwick Base soldiers, armed with flamethrowers, grenades, and explosives, rushed up to defend the third line of defense.
But facing the attack of tens of thousands of zombies, this defense seemed so weak.
Fortunately, not long after, Megan led her team of Psychics into the battlefield, causing a significant impact.
On the battlefield, the combat power of Psychics was far superior to that of ordinary people, especially when facing these fearless monsters.
Megan was extremely anxious.
Because their non-combat personnel were still being evacuated, the base was in a state of chaos, making it their weakest moment.
She desperately manipulated the flames, wiping out the zombies and giant rats around her.
"Inferno Forge!"
Megan stood on a high tower, arms outstretched, as the surrounding flames turned into several thick fire dragons rushing towards her!
With the flames coiling around her, she turned into a massive fireball, surrounded by white-hot flames!
In the next moment, Megan leaped down from the high tower, exploding like a sun.
All the zombies and giant rats within the explosion range were burned to charcoal!
Where there was fire, Megan's abilities were greatly enhanced.
She charged into the densest part of the zombie horde, using her personal strength to forcibly delay the zombies' attack on the base.
This approach was very effective.
But Emberwick Base was too large for her to defend every corner.
There were still places where zombies and giant rats broke into the crowd, starting a bloody massacre and feast!
Screams echoed across the battlefield, yet judging by the blackened bloodstains everywhere in the factory, such scenes were no longer uncommon.
Every day, they had to sacrifice many soldiers to maintain peace.
Otha and the others watched silently from a distance, with no intention of helping.
They were here to observe the zombies' activities, not to solve Emberwick Base's immediate problems.
The battle on the field grew more intense.
In the darkness, the zombie army had completely surrounded Emberwick Base, and both sides were engaged in a brutal tug-of-war.
Often, the zombies would overrun an area, only for a Psychic captain and their soldiers to fight desperately to reclaim it.
"Have all the zombies come out?" Otha asked the demolition expert and engineer Rolf while observing the battle through binoculars.
Rolf held a heavy black computer that looked like a giant brick, yet it operated well even in such a harsh environment.
On its screen displayed a map of Starlight City.
He zoomed in on the area around Emberwick Base.
From a bird's-eye view, he could clearly see the movements around, including every combatant and zombie, even their own positions were clearly visible.
This was the function of The Astralium Kingdom's most advanced satellite system, Nebula.
Seeing that the zombie horde had gradually appeared and there were no more zombies at the subway exits, Rolf said to Otha, "The zombies in the subway have all come out."
"However, there are some big ones among them. They should be the Bronze Elite Zombies that Steven mentioned earlier."
Otha's tone changed slightly. "Interesting."
According to the information provided by Steven, in the past, the zombie army's attacks were centered around ordinary zombies and rat hordes.
But now, the elite zombies, the Bronze Elite Zombies, had appeared.
Did this mean the zombie horde's attacks had escalated?
'Could this have something to do with our arrival?' Otha wondered.
But he still said to the others, "Let's go. Now that their defenses are empty, it's time for us to act!"
In the darkness, the massive Bronze Elite Zombie appeared at the front line.
It brought great shock to everyone at Emberwick Base.
These monsters, whose bodies were impervious to fire and tougher than steel, were not something ordinary soldiers could handle!
Megan clearly remembered that Lester was torn apart by two Bronze Elite Zombies.
However, Otha and his team of seven didn't even glance in that direction, they turned and got into their vehicle, then drove around to the nearest subway entrance.
