Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Chapter 760: Danger Lurking In The Shadow ( 2 )

The guards checked the Phantom Team’s members and the Wen family’s members’ identification cards and wrote down their information and time of departure before allowing them to leave.

As soon as they left the base, they saw a thick layer of snow blocking their way. Although the guards would clean the snow, they could only clear an area of 20 meters near the wall.

Seeing this, Jin Xuyan used his walkie-talkie and said, "We have to clear the snow first and proceed on foot."

The members received the order and got out of the cars. After Jiao Lizhi stored the armored cars in her space, the members started working.

As an ice-type ability-user, Chen Wenwu felt a surge of energy flowing into his veins when he was surrounded by thick snow.

While Shen Jinzhe, Li Qixuan, Qin Luzi, and Gao Bohai worked together to create a fire tornado, a thought flashed through Chen Wenwu’s mind.

The blue fire tornadoes and black flames melted the snow at high speed, and he felt the surrounding energy grow thicker. He quickly sat down and tried to absorb the energy in the air.

At first, he was only testing it and was unsure whether he would succeed. But after a sliver of energy flowed into his body, it suddenly turned into a raging river.

The energy rushed into his body faster and faster, almost tearing him apart. Suddenly, a gale appeared around him, nearly sending the other members flying.

Noticing the situation, Jiao Lizhi asked, "Gaia, what’s going on?"

"An energy field has formed within a radius of 2 kilometers, with Chen Wenwu as the center. His current body cannot withstand the amount of energy. If the energy is not absorbed by others, his body will explode due to excessive energy."

The moment she heard this, Jiao Lizhi said, "Everyone with water-type or ice-type abilities, come over and absorb the energy in the air immediately."

She didn’t have time to explain. After speaking, Jiao Lizhi rushed over and sat close to Chen Wenwu. Closing her eyes, she circulated her energy and absorbed it frantically.

As the energy flowed into her body, it wasn’t stored in her cores. Instead, it went directly into her space. The moment the cold energy entered the Space, it turned into mist and was absorbed.

Seeing this, Jiang Ziyi said, "Open the energy storage. Activate absorption mode at maximum level."

"Absorption mode activated. Energy storage ready."

As the mechanical voice fell, the speed at which Jiao Lizhi absorbed energy increased by more than tenfold.

While they absorbed the energy, Jin Xuyan increased his output, and the black flames burned fiercely. "Increase the speed. Melt all the snow."

The members didn’t know what was happening, but that didn’t stop them from following the order. "Understood!"

Due to the large commotion, Xie Zhou and Wei Yanli received the report quickly. When they arrived, they ordered the guards and ability-users to absorb the energy.

Everyone was tempted to try, but after a while, only the water-type and ice-type ability-users were able to absorb it.

"Fire-type ability-users, go melt the snow!" Xie Zhou ordered.

Following his command, more people joined in, and soon, bright light illuminated the area.

Standing at the back, Mo Junjie took out several glass tubes from his spatial necklace and collected snow samples.

Two hours later, the area within a radius of 2 kilometers around the wall was finally cleared of snow. When they stopped, everyone was shocked to see crystal cores scattered across the ground.

Seeing this, Jin Xuyan took out his satellite phone and called Xie Zhou.

"Commander Xie, send people to clear the snow. I’m afraid the zombies were moving beneath it and nearly reached our base."

Hearing this, Xie Zhou’s expression turned solemn as he replied, "I will make the arrangements."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Xie Zhou quickly informed Wen Hanli. Soon, the news that zombies were able to move under the snow spread to other bases.

Everyone was shocked when they learned of this. They thought that surviving winter meant they could finally rest. Unexpectedly, beneath the peaceful illusion, danger lurked in the shadows.

Fortunately, they discovered it early. Otherwise, they couldn’t imagine how disastrous it would have been if the zombies had broken into their bases.

Because of this sudden situation, the Phantom Team changed their plan. Their priority now was clearing the snow around the base and eliminating the zombies.

The Green Lake Base and the Lin’an City Base issued emergency missions on the same day. With generous rewards offered, the mercenaries joined the fray and accelerated the cleanup process.

Meanwhile, in the Mountain Base, Li Jing also received the news and arranged for the guards to clean up the snow. While they could melt the snow, their abilities were weak, so they couldn’t kill the zombies.

Because of this, the base arranged two teams to work together. One team was responsible for clearing the snow, while the other was responsible for killing the zombies.

While this method was slower than the direct approach used by the Phantom Team, it was still better than what smaller bases could manage.

The survivors panicked when they realized how close the zombies were to the base’s wall. To stabilize morale, Li Jing had to handle the matter personally.

At the same time, Pei Yijun had been transferred to a normal ward and was currently recuperating.

Thanks to his energy, his recovery was faster than that of ordinary people. Although he had not yet fully recovered, he was already able to handle some important matters.

Leaning against a pillow, he read the report from his spies and asked, "Miaomiao, has the chip been planted in the mutant?"

Chu Zhimiao nodded and replied, "My brother said that we can release the mutant tomorrow."

"Good. Make sure the mutant heads toward the cliff. It would be best if it dies from the fall," Pei Yijun said coldly.

It had been a long time since he wanted to remove the tracker. It was not until he found Ye Wuchen that he was finally able to get rid of it. Without the chip controlling his mind, he would finally be able to do what he wanted.
