Chapter 100.1
Editor: Princess
When Yang Wenshuo’s team had completely exhausted their abilities, and the soldiers had used up all their bullets, they finally returned to the Third Base. By this time, it was already approaching evening.
However there was no joy of survival on anyone’s face, only numbness. The atmosphere had sunk to its lowest point.
Just thinking about how Bai Jing and Gu Yuanzhao were still fighting a Level 6 zombie to save them, and might even…
Their hearts clenched into a tight knot.
On the way back, Yang Wenshuo had already reported the details of the mission to the base’s higher-ups and requested an emergency rescue team.
However, when the higher-ups heard that there was a level six zombie in the underground supermarket of H City, they all fell silent.
A level six zombie And not just any level six zombie, but one that had evolved with both lightning and ice abilities!
If this team hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that such a high-level zombie could exist so early in the apocalypse.
The strongest supernatural ability user in the base was only at level three. Therefore under these circumstances, no matter how many people they sent, it would be useless, as it would be nothing but a pointless sacrifice.
However, since the level six zombie hadn’t pursued Yang Wenshuo’s team when they left, that meant that either Bai Jing and Gu Yuanzhao had managed to hold it off, or… they had blown up the entrance of the underground supermarket at the cost of their own lives, sealing the zombie inside.
Everyone knew that the first possibility was extremely slim.
So after much discussion, the request for a rescue mission was still denied.
However, the base decided to send a helicopter to search along the roads of H City. If the two of them had somehow managed to escape, that would be the best outcome. But if not, at least this would give the others some closure.
The dispatched helicopter sped through the sky, heading toward H City as quickly as possible.
It was said that the zombies in H City were extremely dense, so the soldiers on board the helicopter all wore solemn expressions as they scanned the buildings with binoculars, on guard against any zombies that might suddenly leap down from above.
But after surveying the area from a distance, they were shocked to find—not a single zombie in sight.
A strange feeling crept up on them.
Then suddenly, they all heard a massive explosion in the distance. The entire road seemed to tremble. They quickly covered their ears, but even from dozens of kilometers away, they could still feel the terrifying aftershock of the energy wave spreading outward.
At this rate, the zombies within several kilometers had likely been wiped out completely.
The helicopter quickly ascended and flew several kilometers backward to avoid being caught in the energy’s aftermath.
The explosion soon subsided, and dust drifted through the wind, carrying a faintly metallic, rotten scent.
The soldiers exchanged looks, their faces full of shock.
Which base could have possibly done something this extravagant?
This would have taken at least dozens of tons of explosives, right?
And the scariest part, was that despite the immense explosion, the buildings in front of them were still intact. They hadn’t collapsed into rubble.
Faced with such an eerie situation, the soldiers quickly reported back to the base.
If H City had already been taken over by another faction, then they were in serious danger.
In the apocalypse, major bases were essentially in competition with one another. People would do anything for resources.
And receiving new orders, the helicopter didn’t dare to venture into the city center. Instead, they cautiously patrolled the outskirts with binoculars. But they saw no one—no sign of Bai Jing or Gu Yuanzhao—so they quickly returned the way they came.

After returning to the base, Yang Wenshuo and the others immediately sent the severely injured Yu Kai to the medical center for emergency treatment. Despite their utter exhaustion, they submitted another request for a rescue team.
As expected, the base rejected it again.
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, they received a message from the base entrance.
Bai Jing and Gu Yuanzhao had returned!
“What the hell, seriously?!”
“Let’s go, hurry up and welcome them!”
Excitement lit up everyone’s faces as they rushed toward the gate of the base.
They had known it!
With the abilities those two had, they had to be able to escape!
Meanwhile, the higher-ups of the base were in shock.
Escaping from a level six zombie—just how strong were they?!
At the very least, they had to be at level five!
The base leader, Zhou Ze, spoke up. “Let’s go as well.”
Zhou Ze himself was a level three supernatural ability user and had a military background. Shortly after the apocalypse began, he and his comrades had established this base, gradually gathering more supernatural ability users to form what it was today.
If Bai Jing and Gu Yuanzhao were really this powerful, then they had to be kept at the third base at all costs.
And they had to be properly rewarded—otherwise, it would leave a bad impression on them.
