BXBX NOVEL Chapter 275 - 143 The Inevitable Arrival—3
Seeing Wei Zhenguo and the others arrived, Wang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the base’s strongest combatants were here, there was still a chance of a counterattack.
“What’s the specific situation?”
“Last night, the gorilla zombie suddenly passed by the base, and then it found
us… Thankfully, we’ve been on guard against it lately, and we’ve prepared a lot of measures, so we weren’t wiped out in one fell swoop. Still, we lost some people…”
Wei Zhenguo sighed.
“Moreover, we can’t stop the gorilla zombie; we can only use guns, but that attracts a lot of mad demon zombies. And our bullet supply is running low, I estimate we won’t last much longer…
The group conversed as they descended the stairs.
On the fourth floor, several Security Army members intermittently fired their rifles at the gorilla zombie.
As soon as the gorilla zombie approached, bullets would greet its face.
But the gorilla zombie’s size was too large, and its defense was very tough; the bullets hitting its body did no good – only headshots would cause HP loss. Yet its thick arms acted like shields, protecting its head, making it impossible for the bullets to hit!
Now, the gorilla zombie was still at [9772/10000] HP – these attacks had hardly caused any damage!
The only thing to be grateful for now was that the gorilla zombie was dumb or, rather, unintelligent. It only knew how to destroy and smash things violently. Otherwise, if it had endured the bullets to tear down the defensive structures of the complex building, that would have been a real problem.
However, with the current ammo supply, they wouldn’t last much longer. Once the gunfire stopped, no one could stop the gorilla zombie!
“How much combat power do we still have?”
Wang Tao asked.
“Aside from us committee members, there are only twelve Security Army personnel and over thirty Ability Users left. Ordinary Hunters are of little help in this kind of fight…”
Wei Zhenguo shook his head in pain.
“Ah? That many casualties?”
Wang Tao was surprised; he knew there had been quite a few dead and injured, but he didn’t expect even Ability Users and the Security Army to have suffered losses!
“Sigh, there was no helping it, the gorilla zombie’s arrival was too sudden…
and it came in the middle of the night…”
Ren Jie’s face was filled with sorrow.
“Damn it! What do you say we do, Wang Tao? Are we going straight for the gorilla zombie or what? No matter what it is, you can count on me, Old Xiang, to not even frown!”
Xiang Hongbin spoke, his face red and neck bulging.
Wang Tao saw that most of the others were also looking sad, anxious, and even somewhat desperate. He consoled them:
“Everyone don’t panic. First, let me share some good news. Han Rui and I have dealt with the Level 2 Zombie at the hospital! That is to say, the gorilla zombie is now the most powerful one we have here. As long as we take care of it, our base will be completely safe!”
Indeed, this news immediately lifted everyone’s spirits.
“That’s great! If we only have the gorilla zombie left as a Level 2 Zombie, then we have nothing to worry about, we can give it all we’ve got!
Xing Hongbin clenched his fists tightly.
He wasn’t afraid to die, but he was afraid that if he died, the base would be destroyed!
Although the others didn’t speak, their expressions were similar to Xiang Hongbin’s. If only the gorilla zombie remained as a Level 2 Zombie, they wouldn’t have to worry so much and could go all out!
Everyone looked at Wang Tao. With him being the most powerful, if he wasn’t confident, it was truly going to be tough for everyone…
Wang Tao gazed at the gorilla zombie outside, wildly bellowing, feeling quite challenged.
Although he had successfully evolved three abilities to Level 2, he was still only Level 1 himself. Looking at the gorilla zombie that could withstand bullets, he really wasn’t sure.
If he could prepare as he did before hunting the Hooded Zombie, then he felt killing the gorilla zombie could be possible, especially with the significant power of the Self-Destruct Bomb.
But with the current level of commotion, he felt if he dared to bring out a Self- Destruct Bomb, he would likely be the first to be blasted!
Without the Self-Destruct Bomb, he’d have to fight it out!
“Let’s try, at least we’ve got to see if we can cause it any damage… Now, with his Shockwave, Toughness, and Self-healing all at Level 2 Ability, even if he couldn’t beat the gorilla zombie, he should still have the capital for a fight. So long as his defenses were solid and he avoided infection, he’d be fine. After a brief discussion, they decided to strike first!
With Wang Tao previously absent, everyone had lacked confidence. But now that Wang Tao was back, like having a backbone, they all felt more assured!
“Han Rui Old Wei, Old Xiang, the four of us will lead the charge! Lu Gang, you stay here to snipe! Then get those two high-defense fatty brothers and the Mud Swamp Ability User here…”
Since the base now had Ability Users, it was only natural to utilize them. Soon, the Ability Users chosen by Wang Tao were brought over by Ren Jie. “Gentlemen, we have no way back. We must kill this gorilla zombie! Now, I need your help…”
Wang Tao looked at the group of Ability Users with a solemn tone.
Those who had become Ability Users were all selected by Ren Jie for their good character. They would certainly be scared, but when it came down to it, they’d most likely stand up.
As expected.
After exchanging glances, fear visible in their eyes, they simultaneously proclaimed loudly:
“For the base, for our brothers and sisters, we will not back down!”
“Good!”
Wang Tao nodded in satisfaction.
Anyone but ingrates would do, and Ren Jie’s judgement was impeccable.
“Next, you’ll need to cooperate with us. We don’t need you to fight head-on, just to provide support…”
Wang Tao briefly explained the plan to them, then let them say their farewells to friends and family.
After all, going out this time… they might not return.
But without giving time for sentimentality, once everyone was ready, Wang Tao took the lead, climbing from the roof of the complex building across a steel cable to the administrative building, and the others immediately followed.
Once everyone arrived at the administrative building, Wang Tao took a deep breath.
“Go!”
