Chapter 723: Zombified Cockroach ( 5 )
The Vice Mayor strode to the desk and picked up the microphone. As someone who managed a city near Huaxia’s border, he had learned their language.
"This is the Vice Mayor of the Lunar City of the Tsardom Empire, Lustin Volkov. Can you hear me?" he said in fluent Huaxia language.
On the other side, the people who heard his response were taken aback.
They were experimenting with a new communication device built by them. This device used not only radio towers but also satellites as cell towers. They never expected it to actually work.
Suppressing his excitement, Fu Shenghan said, "This is Fu Shenghan, the head of Lin’an City Base’s Telecommunication and Information Department."
The moment Lustin Volkov heard this, his eyes lit up. He had once visited Lin’an City in Huaxia during his studies and knew that, compared to Lunar City, they had more resources and manpower.
"Chief Fu, we are currently under attack by zombie cockroaches and are running out of water and supplies. Please help us and send reinforcements."
Hearing this, Fu Shenghan and his team were shocked.
They had heard that zombie maggots had been found in Lin’an City Base before, but this matter was solved quickly before anything bad had happened. After that, they hadn’t heard about other zombified animals besides dogs, cats, or other large animals.
He glanced at one of his subordinates. Receiving the signal, the subordinate quickly went to report to Wen Hanli.
"Vice Mayor, how is the situation on your side?"
Although the signal was unstable, causing Fu Shenghan’s words to be cut off from time to time, Lustin Volkov was still able to understand their meaning.
"Our supplies can only last for three days at most, and we are currently in urgent need of medicine. In the last five days, we have been surrounded by zombie cockroaches and lost more than three thousand people. Right now, we only have around five thousand people left."
"Can you estimate the number of zombie cockroaches?" Fu Shenghan asked.
"I can only see a sea of black and can’t estimate the number."
The moment they heard this, Fu Shenghan and his team couldn’t help but feel a chill run down their spines. Compared to mutant cockroaches, zombie cockroaches were more dangerous.
Not only did they not feel pain or fatigue, but their entire bodies also contained the zombie virus. With just a small scratch, ordinary people could turn into zombies in less than two hours.
Although mutant cockroaches had stronger attack power and defenses, they still felt pain and fear. They also didn’t carry any zombie virus. So when facing them, ability-users had more freedom to attack.
They couldn’t imagine what kind of hellish situation Lunar City was facing at that moment.
"I will report your situation to my Commander as soon as possible. Please keep in touch."
"Thank you."
After the brief conversation, Fu Shenghan quickly left the tower to the main tower while his men continued monitoring the situation.
At the same time, Wen Hanli had already received the report and informed Xun Che.
Sitting behind his desk, Xun Che thought for a moment and said, "Old Wen, contact Jin Xuyan and ask them to go over to provide reinforcements."
Hearing this, Wen Hanli said, "Commander, the situation in the Green Lake Base is not stabilized yet, and winter is approaching. If we send them over, I’m afraid the situation in the new base will worsen after winter."
"Contact Wei Ying and Gu Shaoze. With their teams helping Xie Zhou, there shouldn’t be a problem. What’s more, the Wen family is there."
After a moment of pause, Xun Che asked, "Has Wei Yunli contacted you back?"
"She should contact me soon."
Xun Che nodded and said, "After you sign the contract with her, arrange for her and her team to go over as soon as possible."
"Understood."
After receiving the order, Wen Hanli returned to his office and made a phone call. The phone rang for a while before it connected.
"Vice Commander Wen, do you need anything?" Jin Xuyan’s voice came through the phone.
Since time was limited, Wen Hanli didn’t bother with small talk and said, "Captain Jin, we received an urgent message from Lunar City’s Vice Mayor. They are currently surrounded by zombie cockroaches and are requesting reinforcements."
"How is their situation?"
"They only have around five thousand people left, with supplies that can last for three days at most. The number of zombie cockroaches is unknown, but from the satellite view, more than sixty percent of the city is filled with them."
As soon as he heard this, Jin Xuyan frowned. In his previous life, zombie cockroaches only appeared in the second year of the apocalypse.
By the time people discovered them, many cities and towns had already been destroyed. He didn’t know the reason, but this early discovery was a good thing.
"Vice Commander Wen, my team will depart as soon as possible."
"Okay. I will inform the Vice Mayor."
After hanging up, Jin Xuyan picked up his walkie-talkie and said, "Everyone, there’s a change in our plan. Return to the Green Lake Base."
Although the members didn’t know what had happened, they quickly made a sharp U-turn and drove back. Since they had already cleared out the zombies and repaired the road, it only took them five hours to return to the base.
When the guards saw them, they greeted them and let them in after inspection.
At this moment, Mo Junjie, Du Beiye, and Feng Yun had just finished delivering the supplies and settled Feng Zirui and the children. So when they saw the team return suddenly, they were surprised.
"Captain, why did you come back so suddenly?" Feng Yun asked.
Jin Xuyan walked to the couch and said, "Everyone, take a seat."
The members quickly found places to sit. At the same time, Jiao Lizhi took out a world map and a map of the Tsardom Empire from her space, opened them, and placed them on the table.
"We’ve just received a request for reinforcements from Lunar City’s Vice Mayor," Jin Xuyan said, pointing at the map.
