Chapter 1595 Kill the Holy Mother First in the Apocalypse 33
The Linlang Base naturally has ice-type ability users, but the number of ability users with ice, lightning, mental, spatial, and healing abilities is very small. Even in a large base, there aren't many, so they are all very precious. Generally, unless there is a special need, they are not allowed to leave the base to avoid any accidents. They are usually allowed to cultivate properly in the base.

—In this world, ability users don't improve their abilities like some movies and novels depict, where they need to consume zombie cores. It's not like that. In this world, ability users simply level up by continuously using their abilities, just like using skills more in a game to increase skill proficiency. Of course, the speed of leveling up varies depending on individual talent, but in general, proper training will lead to leveling up. This is why Linlang had them train diligently at the base and only deployed them when needed. Because while firearms can still hold out, their most important task is not killing zombies, but cultivating to a higher level than zombies so they can kill even more powerful zombies in the future.

Judging from the situation of the level four superhumans at the military base, one can see what level a level four zombie is. Ordinary firearms cannot defeat them. Powerful firearms might be able to defeat them, but Linlang does not have them, so they are useless against them.

Only by deploying equally powerful level four ability users can they be eliminated. As for level three ability users, unless there is a large number of them, they have no chance of fighting back.

And this is only the case for level four zombies. Linlang estimates that as zombies continue to evolve, higher and more difficult-to-deal-with zombies will soon appear.

Therefore, Linlang and the military base have always maintained the strategy of eliminating all the zombies in the surrounding area to cut off their supply. After all, if all the zombies are eliminated, how can any more zombies evolve to a higher level?

Unfortunately, their capabilities are limited; they can only kill the zombies in the surrounding area. They can't control the zombies in other places, so naturally, some high-level zombies grow up in other places and one day move to their area, posing a danger to the base.

For example, in the city center, because of the overcrowding, there are a lot of zombies after the apocalypse, and no one dares to break through that place to this day.

Although the military base had the capability to break through, they didn't want to waste ammunition on zombie hordes so far away. Later, as the ability users' strength increased, they worried that there were too many zombies in the city center, and that powerful zombies might have evolved. They didn't send anyone to clear them out, fearing that sending ability users there might cause trouble.

Although they haven't been cleared out yet, if these powerful zombies wander near the base in the future, they will still have to be killed, but at least they won't be in large groups, which is better.

The military's caution was justified. According to Linlang's careful observation using her little bee, there were indeed quite a few high-level evolved zombies in the city center.

This is quite normal. There are almost no survivors left in the city center. With so many zombies, and considering the proportion of superhumans among humans, if the proportion of evolved zombies among the zombies were also similar, then naturally, with a large base, there would be more evolved zombies. And just like humans, zombies can also accumulate experience and level up by using their superpowers. So, with a large number of evolved zombies, there will definitely be more that reach higher levels. Ordinary squads would just be easy prey.

Fortunately, just as the people at the military base thought, there are so many evolved zombies in the city center, and none of them are controlled by psychic zombies. Even if some evolved zombies from the city center wander out of the city center and come to Linlang or the military base, even if they are high-level, they can be killed if they are alone. For the time being, there is no danger.

Actually, this was all thanks to Linlang. Because there were so many zombies in the city center, proportionally, there were also many evolved zombies. Since there were many evolved zombies, there were naturally many different types, so there must have been some mental zombies.

Linlang had been monitoring the surrounding situation and quickly discovered that there was a mental zombie. Before it could grow stronger and could only control a small number of zombies to attack humans, she sent a robot to secretly kill it.

Although deploying robots consumes some energy, we absolutely cannot allow mentally-based zombies to grow stronger, because that's what humans call intelligent zombies. In Linlang's opinion, they're not particularly intelligent; they just want to eat humans, but they don't have any other superpowers to do so, so they rely on instinct, using their minds to control a group of minions to catch humans for them to eat.

Humans, drawing on stories from movies and novels, assume that zombies capable of controlling minions to attack humans are intelligent zombies. However, according to Linlang's observations, they actually lack intelligence and simply use psychic abilities instinctively.

It's easier if they lack intelligence. After all, if they truly possessed intelligence, humans would still harbor wishful thinking and try to negotiate with the zombies. But as things stand, there's clearly no need for negotiation; they can simply be killed.

In the original world, the supplies from the original supermarket fell into the hands of Wang Yong and his group. They stayed quietly in that small supermarket without attracting the attention of the zombies, so they survived for a long time. They learned all this information from the internet.

When humans first saw psychic zombies, which could control other zombies to attack humans, they probably assumed they were intelligent and called them intelligent zombies. But the real name should be psychic zombies.

Because Linlang eliminated the mental zombies that could control her minions, there's no need to worry about advanced mental zombies that can control large numbers of zombies to besiege the city. Therefore, other evolved zombies that can't control zombies are not a threat, since they generally don't know how to gather a crowd to besiege human bases. They rely on instinct, running towards wherever they smell human presence.

Each base has a large population, so it's naturally a popular target for zombies, especially on windy days. When the wind blows, it carries the scent of humans to the zombies, who then follow the smell.

If the wind blows towards a large group of zombies, it can easily lead to a zombie siege.

Linlang and the military base have drones to monitor the surrounding situation, enabling early warning and preemptive strikes. Some smaller bases do not have this capability, which makes them very dangerous. This was the case with some of the smaller bases that fell previously.

These small bases are mostly established by some powerful superhumans, but they cannot be maintained for long by the strength of one person alone. After all, individual strength is limited and cannot fight against a large number of zombies. There still needs to be an overall defensive force, using walls to block ordinary zombies, using drones to warn of evolved zombies in advance, sending superhumans to clear them out, and so on.

Many bases established by people with superpowers, although the other side knows that walls need to be built, have no idea how to build them. If the base does not have the necessary talent, the walls are often poorly built, simply copying the appearance of other bases. When zombies come, they can easily break through them.

Of course, the main reason is that the base leaders of those small bases don't have much resources. They can't hire a large number of people in their bases to build walls, so they can't build them as thick, tall, and sturdy as those in Linlang or the military bases. They are easily breached by zombies and then fall into the enemy's territory.

Once trapped, something terrifying will happen—if human superhumans don't die but instead transform into zombies, they will automatically become evolved zombies and then kill even more humans…
