Chapter 141 The Apocalyptic Boss Arrives (18)
Ice crystals condensed into long blades on Gu Lin's knuckles, and frost flowers bloomed wherever his combat boots stepped.
The twenty-person team silently dispersed, and the earth-elemental ability user stomped his foot, collapsing the foundation of the outer wall. Amidst the billowing dust, a net of light interwoven with lightning and fire suddenly exploded.
Those were actually lightning and fire elemental users who twisted energy beams into spiral pillars of light, while wind elemental users extended their arms to triple their attack range, clearing a hundred-meter fan-shaped area in the blink of an eye.
The other superhumans who rushed to the base gates witnessed this shocking scene.
While hundreds of zombies were attacking, the young people even had time to toss each other energy replenishment packs.
Gu Lin's ice blade was piercing the skull of the bone-spiked zombie, and the frost instantly froze and cracked the entire horde of zombies along the spine.
When the last zombie was pulverized by the wind blades conjured at Ji Xiaosong's fingertips, a deafening cheer erupted from the city walls.
The new recruits crowded around the ramparts, peering intently as they watched the team from Chenming City use their light-based abilities to disinfect their weapons, while Ji Xiaosong's ice roses bloomed across the entire battlefield.
"My goodness, these people from Chenming City are amazing!"
"Yeah, especially that woman who led the group. Her wind blade technique was amazing. She took down the last zombie so easily. She was incredible!"
"And there's another male leader. With a single strike of his ice blade, the zombie horde was frozen and cracked. His strength is simply invincible!"
"Their coordination is too perfect. The earth-type ability user just collapsed the foundation of the wall, and the lightning and fire light net followed immediately. The wind-type ability user even expanded the attack range, clearing out a fan-shaped area of 100 meters. This tactic is amazing!"
"And even when they were surrounded by zombies, they still had time to throw energy replenishment to each other. Their mental fortitude is something most people can't match!"
"Yes, with them at our base from now on, we'll feel much more at ease!"
The people at the Nanshi base kept praising him, one after another.
However, Zhou Jianguo, who was standing next to Xiao Qinfeng, had an inscrutable expression.
Ji Xiaosong and the others had already been in meetings all day and were exhausted. Now, they had used up a lot of their supernatural abilities to fight off hundreds of zombies with only twenty people. The other team members were all exhausted.
But with so many people watching, I have to put on a brave face and present myself as omnipotent.
Xiao Qinfeng strode forward, a sincere smile on his face, his eyes full of gratitude and respect. He was about to shake Ji Xiaosong's hand when Gu Lin calmly stopped him and took his hand instead.
Of course, Xiao Qinfeng didn't mind; at this moment, he only felt grateful.
“Miss Ji, Mr. Gu, your battle just now really saved our Nanshi base from a dire situation! The strength and teamwork you displayed have broadened our horizons. If it weren’t for you, we really wouldn’t know how to deal with such a large-scale zombie attack.”
"In this apocalyptic world, we belong to the same country and are all compatriots. Although these are just trivial matters right now, it is precisely in such difficult times that we should support each other and overcome difficulties together. We've been busy all day and everyone is exhausted. By the way, Commander Xiao, where are we staying tonight? We need to find a place to rest properly as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qinfeng nodded hurriedly, his face beaming with a warm smile, and said, "Look at my brain, I was so excited and grateful that I forgot to arrange accommodations. Miss Ji, Mr. Gu, don't worry, we have made preparations! At our Nanshi base, we have a special residence prepared for our distinguished guests. It is the best large-floor apartment in the base, with an excellent location, a wide view, and an unparalleled level of security."
As he spoke, he gestured for everyone to follow, and explained in detail as they walked: "This large, single-level high-rise is spacious, with a reasonable room layout, and each room is equipped with complete living facilities. Moreover, considering that you are all superhumans and consume a lot of energy, we have also set up a supply warehouse in the room, which will be replenished by a dedicated person every day."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaosong quickly waved his hand and declined, saying, "Thank you, Commander Xiao, but we won't trouble the base with the food. I have spatial abilities and have stockpiled quite a bit of food. I was hoping to contribute to the nation's supplies in this apocalypse by acting as a replenishment warehouse. From now on, we can be completely self-sufficient in food and drink at the base. However, I will have to go to your supply warehouse tomorrow to see if we can replenish some other supplies. If we can be of any help, it would be our honor."
Xiao Qinfeng then remembered that besides being the deputy director of the Yongfeng base, Ji Xiaosong was also the head of the largest mobile warehouse in the country.
“Miss Ji, our Nanshi base still has five million survivors, and daily food and drink are indeed a major issue. Currently, due to acid rain, the land cannot be cultivated, and we rely entirely on wood-type ability users to grow food, which is really not enough. I am relieved that Miss Ji has come to Nanshi to replenish supplies.”
"Yes, no need to worry, I will replenish all the warehouses at the South City base tomorrow."
Before long, the group arrived in front of the large, single-level high-rise building.
Xiao Qinfeng stepped into the elevator first and pressed the button for the top floor.
The elevator slowly ascended and soon arrived at its destination.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, a breath of fresh air rushed in.
What catches the eye is a spacious and bright living room, decorated in a simple yet elegant style.
Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the entire southern city base.
Although the scenery wasn't exactly beautiful, being mostly dilapidated, the view was still excellent.
Xiao Qinfeng led everyone on a tour of the rooms, explaining as he went: "There are ten bedrooms in total, each with its own bathroom and balcony. The beds are all carefully selected by us; they are soft and comfortable, ensuring everyone gets a good night's sleep."
Then, he pointed to the dining room next to the living room and said, "A sumptuous dinner has been prepared in the dining room, all made with fresh ingredients from our base. Everyone has been busy all day and just went through a big battle, so they must be starving. They can have a good meal in a little while."
After making the arrangements, Xiao Qinfeng smiled and said to Ji Xiaosong and Gu Lin, "Miss Ji, Mr. Gu, please get some rest. If you need anything, please let us know. If you don't mind, I would like to invite you both to the base's conference room tomorrow to discuss future cooperation and work together to deal with the apocalyptic crisis."
After Xiao Qinfeng left, everyone was thinking about how to allocate the rooms.
Ji Xiaosong spoke first, "Anran and I will stay in room number 1. It's more convenient since we're both girls."
The mineral water bottle in Gu Lin's hand suddenly made a crisp popping sound. He slowly tightened the cap, his Adam's apple bobbing in the twilight: "No."
As one of only two women in the team, An Ran was a little confused.
She glanced at Gu Lin and shrank back slightly.
"Sister Ji, Zhao Gang and I are already married, so...we won't be living separately anymore, right?"
