Chapter 19

Face-Slapping the Original Leaders of the Military Base (Apocalypse)

In the original storyline, Xia Qingfeng was a militant. He always rushed to the front as long as he had a mission, and the base wanted to promote him to be a minister of power but he disagreed. He kept taking his strongest team to the most dangerous places, and finally died in a struggle against zombies.

Zhou Xu didn’t feel like paying attention to Xia Qingfeng’s past life. As he said, they must cooperate now. The third class zombies were not easy to deal with. They not only had the ability to summon low-level zombies, but they also had speed and strength that ordinary people could not deal with.

Currently, those with abilities didn’t know how to tell the level of someone with an ability. They only knew that some abilities were relatively pure, so with good practice, the ability level would increase quickly.

But Zhou Xu knew that the highest level of all their abilities was only the third level. If Xia Qingfeng could eliminate third class zombies, then he was at least at the fourth level or higher.

But even if he had reached the fourth level, he would not be able to sustain using his powers for long if there were too many third class zombies.

“Very well. Help us sort out the materials.” Xia Qingfeng said.

The sharp whistle was approaching, but Xia Qingfeng seemed unfazed, and because of that, everyone else felt at ease, so they went to carry supplies.

Zhou Xu did not move. He went to Xia Qingfeng and asked, “Are you sure you have eliminated third-class zombies?”

Xia Qingfeng looked at Zhou Xu and answered, “Yes.”

“How did you know it was a third class zombie?”

“Help if you can. If you can’t, at least shut up.”

Zhou Xu’s eyebrows were bent. The corners of his mouth tilted up, and his smile was as sweet as sugar. “Okay.”

When Xia Qingfeng saw Zhou Xu’s smile, he suddenly paused. However, Zhou Xu turned around and the smile disappeared. Xia Qingfeng followed his figure to make sure he wasn’t seeing things, but Zhou Xu never looked at him again.

Twenty people naturally worked faster than ten people, and so in about seven or eight minutes, three cars were almost loaded.

At the same time, the whistle was getting closer.

Zhou Xu thought, they couldn't do anything anymore. They can’t run away now. If the third class zombie wanted to chase them, they might even be able to catch up to the cars.

“Are you afraid?” Xia Qingfeng looked at Zhou Xu with a sidelong glance.

Zhou Xu smiled slightly. “Yes, so you have to protect me.”

Xia Qingfeng was stunned again. Suddenly, he remembered a scene a few weeks ago, where in a vast open space, a solitary figure was fighting with a dagger against a group of zombies.

“I’ve saved you once.”

“Oh, it doesn’t matter if you add one more time.” Zhou Xu laughed again, like a spring breeze blowing through willow trees, gentle and warm.

“You…”

“Stop talking nonsense. Here comes the zombies. There are three third-class zombies. One’s on the left. One is a little farther, about forty seconds, in the right. And there’s one ten seconds behind.”

“Very well.” Xia Qingfeng then suddenly shouted, “Everyone, listen to his command! The third class zombies will be handed over to me. As for the others, you can deal with it by yourselves.”

Everyone answered unanimously, “Yes.”

Ding Zhaoyu didn’t say anything, but he didn’t understand why Xia Qingfeng didn’t give command to him, but to Zhou Xu.

There was no time to think about it. The zombies had slowly drawn close. In fact, if there hadn’t been any third-class zombies, it would have been easy for them to escape.

Zhou Xu closed his eyes temporarily, listened carefully to the voices around him, and finally said loudly, “The zombies in front come first. There are about a dozen, and they’re easy to take care of. Several zombies in the right rear are second-class, but it should not be difficult. Let’s first deal with this group.”

After Zhou Xu finished, everyone was ready for battle. After a few seconds, like he said, there were more than a dozen low-level zombies in front of them.

At this time, Xia Qingfeng also took a deep breath and began to fight against the third class zombies that had rushed in at full speed.

For a time, the scene was chaotic. The stench and the blood of the zombies flew everywhere. The deep howls, the whimpers when one was killed, and the various sounds when abilities were released mingled to form a chaotic and exciting sonata.

The first wave of corpses were low-level, so they were wiped out very quickly. There was even a second or two to see the battle between Xia Qingfeng and the third class zombies. However, that time was useless because nothing could be seen at all. The movements of both sides were too fast, and Xia Qingfeng’s powers were too strong. When a big move was released, it blinded everyone for moment.

Xia Qingfeng was a lightning power. The lightning power was a powerful ability. In addition, his ability was relatively pure and had a high level. Therefore, when people saw it for the first time, they were both shocked and speechless.

“Uh!” With a scream, a third class zombie fell onto the ground, and a crystal bead rolled out of the body where it had been scorched by lightning. Ding Zhaoyu quietly picked it up, and then followed the crowd to start the fight against the second wave of zombies.

In the second wave of zombies, there were several second-class zombies, so they fought a little harder. Zhou Xu turned around and found that Xia Qingfeng was fighting very skillfully, and he even had strength left. When Zhou Xu looked over, he (XQ) looked back at Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu didn’t have enough time to smile before the zombie in front of him attacked.

A column of water shot out, and the zombie howled as he fell down. Zhou Xu directly cut off the zombie’s head with a water knife. After that, he looked at Xia Qingfeng again and saw that he had eliminated the third-class zombies.

Zhou Xu smiled slightly, but in his heart, he had to admire Xia Qingfeng. The so-called God of War was actually not unpredictable, but it was just that the man was a little too cold. So when facing Zhou Xu, he was naturally cold to him.

Everyone’s abilities were being used up in large amounts, and those with healing abilities in the team were almost exhausted. However, the zombies hadn’t been dealt with yet, so they had to be strong.

The end result was that when the last wave of zombies came, they didn’t have any energy left to use their powers.

However, when they had eliminated more than a dozen of first and second-class zombies, Xia Qingfeng had already wiped out the third-class zombies, and even had easily came to help.

With the addition of Xia Qingfeng, the zombies were quickly wiped out and cleaned up. After that, they dared not rest and got in the cars and left.

Zhou Xu got on Xia Qingfeng’s car. Just when the car started, Zhou Xu saw a red figure flashing away from the wholesale area. The shadow speed was too fast. If Zhou Xu was not experienced, he would not look back at all. He couldn’t, by himself, be able to see that figure, let alone one that could fly.

“There was a fourth-class zombie,” Zhou Xu said in a low voice.

Xia Qingfeng and Zhou Xu were the only ones in the car. The others had either went to another car or were in the bed of a small truck.

“You also noticed it?”

Zhou Xu gave a sidelong glance at Xia Qingfeng, who was driving. “Hmm? You knew?”

“Mm, I knew.”

“Can you win against him?”

“Not necessarily. We should have the same strength, but when my strength has been exhausted, he won’t be tired.”

Zhou Xu was silent. Xia Qingfeng meant that he could not win against that zombie. Fortunately, the zombie did not continue to chase them. Otherwise, if they came, they might be destroyed.

When Xia Qingfeng got out of the car, he said, “You go and report to the leaders. I’m going to rest.”

“Report? Isn’t that the captain’s job?”

“Yes, but I don’t want to. Your captain doesn’t understand, so you go.”

“Haha, good.” Zhou Xu laughed brilliantly, but his heart was not happy. Wasn’t he just feeling lazy?

Forget it, Zhou Xu was also too lazy to argue with him. He must make the situation clear to the people at the base. Otherwise, if someone else goes out there to do a mission, they may not come back.

When Ding Zhaoyu returned home, he took out some crystal beads and said to Tang Wanxin, “Wanxin, do you know what this is?”

Tang Wanxin was very tired. After sitting down, she asked weakly, “What?”

Ding Zhaoyu smiled and said, “Crystal nuclei, found in the bodies of zombies. They can supposedly increase powers.”

Tang Wanxin’s ability was relatively weak, so when she heard that this thing could increase the ability, she was instantly excited. “Really?”

Ding Zhaoyu nodded. “Of course.”

“Have you tried it?”

“No, but we can let others try it. If it’s useful, we can secretly collect it when we go out on missions.”

When Zhou Xu went to make a report, after explaining all the facts, he also took out a crystal nucleus, a translucent white bead. This crystal nucleus was a lightning power nucleus, but the base personnel still weren’t aware of that.

“This is a crystal nucleus, found in the bodies of zombies. I’ll bring it to you for your research. It may be useful.”

Zhou Xu knew that soon, the base would find the role of crystal nucleus. After that, every time the base sent others out on missions, the powers would not only kill the zombies, but begin to collect nuclei.

In the original world, this incident was reported long after Ding Zhaoyu discovered it. At that time, Ding Zhaoyu’s power had been raised to fourth-level using crystal nuclei. He basically had no rival in the base. And because he found this discovery, he was awarded the Warrior Medal by the base. It was also around that time that he began to go after leadership of the base.

But now, Zhou Xu thought, Ding Zhaoyu’s road to leadership may be ruined.

Notes:

hA, those two thought they could get away with it. It’s so laughable that it’s almost cute hahahaha.
