Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294: Chapter Two Hundred Ninety-Four Open the City Gates

Hearing the rumbling of artillery and gunfire from outside the base, everyone at the base was shocked.

What on earth had happened?!

Then, the sound of a loudspeaker from outside the window began to relay the situation outside the base to everyone.

Su Jin and the others could tell that it was Liang Jiuqing’s voice. Her voice was naturally loud, and combined with the effect of the megaphone, it was remarkably clear. Liang Jiuqing was sitting in a car driven by Xiao Liu, going around and repeatedly informing everyone about the situation outside the base.

The sound of the broadcast left people in shock.

What? A zombie tide was attacking the base, and they had already started fighting?

...

Everything had been fine; how could a zombie tide suddenly appear?

What even is a zombie tide? Is it as many as thousands of zombies?

Calling on special ability users to defend the city walls against the zombie tide? Is it really that serious?

…

The loudspeaker continued to broadcast, and many curious special ability users had already stepped outside, eager to see what exactly was happening outside the city walls.

Su Jin and her group also had a quick breakfast, ready to go up to the city walls to check the situation.

Dozens of artillery rounds bloomed among the zombie crowd, blasting numerous craters in the ground. Although the effect seemed good, with dozens of zombies destroyed at a time, the number of zombies was simply too great. The blasted areas were like stones thrown into the sea, quickly covered up by the ensuing zombie tide.

“Millions of zombies, millions of zombies!”

An older voice said tremblingly.

“Uncle Ding, it’s windy here. You should go inside the tower,”

Liang Jiuhui suggested. Ding He had been a friend of his father in the officialdom before the apocalypse and was now in charge of some logistics work. His management skills were still very effective. Not long after the base alarm sounded, Ding He had come up, suggesting he might have been up all night as well.

Even Liang Jiuhui and his group had not expected the zombie tide to attract so many zombies.

This was not a sustainable way to deal with the situation; the base did not have an adequate supply of ammunition, and from afar, an unending stream of zombies seemed to be converging on the base!

The sounds of gunfire and artillery continued to rise and fall outside as Liang Jiuhui had already summoned several managers to discuss in a tower.

In the end, they decided to first organize the base’s different element special ability users, along with the guard squad, to eliminate some of the zombies with their abilities.

By the time Su Jin and her group arrived, staff were already tallying up the special ability users who had signed up to fight the zombies at the city walls.

Many special ability users climbed the city walls and, after seeing the scene outside, quickly ran back to the registration area, trembling as they started to fill in their names and abilities.

Although afraid, they knew that if the base was breached by so many zombies, the entire base would fall!

Su Jin and her companions were also ready to sign up without hesitation. Registration was organized by the type of ability, and it was said this was to allow the different elements to coordinate attacks together.

Su Jin embarrassingly discovered that there was no registration form for the Wood Element… Even her mother’s Healing Element had people organizing, but there was not a single person to be seen from the Wood Element.

Perhaps it was because the Wood Element had no attack capabilities yet, Su Jin thought with a sigh.
