Chapter 167 Attack on the Base
"I wonder where Xiao Ji and the others are." Standing in front of the glass window, Fu Qiulan looked at the sun rising above the clouds, her eyes hiding a worry that was not easily noticed.

Dou Kun and his associates have been making a lot of small moves lately, which means they must have realized something. Anyone who can be placed by her side is bound to be a good-for-nothing, so it was expected that they would be discovered.

At this moment, Fu Liyang walked in, his face grave. "Dou Kun and his men are dead."

Dou Kun usually doesn't leave the base, but he has gone out a few times in the past few days without anyone knowing. However, each time he was accompanied by people they had arranged, and no one noticed anything unusual.

But today, Dou Kun left the base openly and without going far, he died inexplicably. The others who received the news committed suicide at almost the same time.

"As expected, Dou Kun and his team cleaned up everything they left behind and carefully checked the base for any remaining hidden dangers."

Those people were really ruthless; they committed suicide without hesitation once they were discovered, making all the preparations they had made seem pointless.

"We have already investigated. They each have a secret room in their respective residences. Dou Kun's secret room contained a lot of purple mist flowers and reagents."

Most of the items found were seeds of the Purple Mist Flower, including many crystal nuclei containing a purplish-black liquid, which have been handed over to the laboratory for research.

"After checking several more times, I still felt that there was something in the base that hadn't been found."

Given Dou Kun's personality, it's impossible that he only had these seemingly harmless things; perhaps their suicide was a trigger.

Sure enough, just as Fu Qiulan watched Fu Liyang walk out of the office, the high wall behind them collapsed, with nearly a third of the wall crumbling like tofu.

The incident happened so suddenly that those living nearby had no time to escape and were buried under sand and gravel.

As dusk settled, about two hundred meters from the collapse site, Takagi Ken, wearing an earth-brown cloak, blew the red bone whistle hanging around his neck.

The sharp cry attracted the surrounding zombies. There weren't many low-level zombies left, and the first to gather were the level two and above zombies.

As the zombies gathered outside the damaged high walls, their sheer numbers were alarming, and the base immediately went on high alert.

"Have earth-elemental ability users repair the walls as quickly as possible, at least until the zombie horde is dealt with."

The weapons on the city walls were aimed at the zombie army surging towards the base like a tide, and the sound of gunfire was deafening, sending chills down one's spine.

Ordinary people in the base hid in their homes, while children held their parents' hands tightly, their eyes filled with unease and fear.

Having successfully retired, Takagi Ken, dressed in a black kimono, looks back from afar, his bangs lightly brushing his eyebrows, revealing a pair of cold eyes.

His eyes were deep black, flashing with a ruthless and calculating light. One hand gently stroked the red bone whistle on his chest, which was the medium through which he used his mental power to attract zombies and the controller to guide their movements.

(This is a translation from the internet; I'm not sure if it's accurate. Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
"It's a pity!" So many research and experimental materials could have been used for a long time if we had taken them back with us!
After leaving behind words that sounded like a devil's whisper, the gloomy Takagi Ken turned and left, not wanting to let this matter delay his mission.

The roar of the massive horde of zombies gathered together was deafening, like demons struggling in the depths of hell.

Artillery fire and supernatural orbs flew together, creating deep craters on the barren, hard ground. Zombies missing limbs fell into the craters and became stepping stones for subsequent zombies, being trampled to pieces.

Hidden among them, the level three and four zombies, braving artillery fire, rapidly approached the base's high walls. The superhumans stood on the breach, shooting down all the zombies that rushed towards them.

The earth-elemental ability users quickly restored most of the high wall. As the number of zombies increased, they stopped repairing and stood on the lowered section of the wall to fight off the surging zombies. Ji Xiyun and the others, who had gotten up early, were completely unaware of the White Tiger Base's current predicament, and even if they had known, it would have been too late to return and help.

Ji Xiyun, who had been eating snail rice noodles early in the morning, still had some chili oil on her lips, asked, "How is Bai Miao doing?"

“Earlier, Ruan Jingli used her water powers to heal him for a while, and he was fine after waking up.”

The three brothers who were slurping noodles with her looked up and replied to her before continuing to eat.

She herself has water-based abilities and knows that water-based abilities have some healing power. Besides water-based abilities, she also commonly uses wood-based and spatial abilities.

Lightning-based attacks are generally not used because they are too destructive, and mental power... sigh!
I don't know what's wrong, but when I use my mental energy, my eyes seem to turn red randomly. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they're completely fine. I can only turn on my colored contact lenses again.

Although Jiang Heyan comforted her that her superpower was just a little special, she still didn't want too many people to know, except for the group of perverts in GR who already knew.

"After breakfast, I'll go for a walk around and collect some usable crystal cores to put in my space."

She still had quite a few items in her space, but their attributes didn't match their abilities, and the matching ones were few and unevenly distributed, plus she needed them herself.

Moreover, they are no longer the newbies they used to be; they can mine crystal cores on their own. They just need to be careful to distinguish whether the crystal cores are problematic ones that have been modified.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lin, having finished the last sip of soup, awkwardly moved closer to her and began to fawn over her, massaging her back.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Heyan really wanted to chop off those eyesores, but Ji Xiyun, who was enjoying the moment with her eyes half-closed, understood and chuckled, "Say it, what do you want!"

"Hehe. Sister Yun, could you please summon all those zombies over here? It's not that I want to be lazy, I just want to stay here and protect everyone."

Shixian City isn't very large, but it still covers nearly 4,000 square kilometers. With her current mental power, she really can't cover it completely, after all, she's not a god.

After thinking about it, I realized it was a good idea. This way, the crystal cores could be replenished even faster. Luckily, I had colored contact lenses, otherwise I really wouldn't have dared to agree.

"Fine!"

"Thank you, Sister Yun!" With permission granted, Ouyang Lin became even more obsequious, taking care of everything from washing the pots and pans to cleaning the dishes, and even preparing milk tea for Ji Xiyun.

Of course, the milk tea was something I had already taken out of my space, and there was even some fruit, which I made into a fruit platter.

Outside, it was bustling and lively, but inside the small house, it was quiet. Li Xi, who was taking care of Bai Miao, hadn't rested much all night, and her eyes were bloodshot.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Bai Miao, who had his eyes closed, suddenly started coughing. Li Xi, who was beside him, poured him some water, gently comforted him, and fed him some water to relieve the cough.

Lying down again, looking at Li Xi whose eyes were full of him, he felt a sweet warmth in his heart, as if he had drunk sugar water, and the sickly look in his eyes and brows was relieved a lot.

"Xixi, how are you? Are you hurt?" He saw Xixi withstand several attacks and slam heavily onto the cement slab.

Li Xi shook her head, her voice a little hoarse from not getting much rest all night. "I'm fine. With you protecting me like that, how could I possibly get hurt? It's you who's injured so badly, you're practically a mummy."
