Chapter 247 Gao Jue's Plan 247
The level 5 zombie tried its best to control the surrounding zombies to resist and rushed into the encirclement, but was suppressed by the evolved humans.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Lexi turned back, and because he hated it so much, he grabbed its shoulder without mercy. The zombies that came into contact with the metal ring were electrocuted to a crisp, either dead or crippled.

The zombies he controlled didn't feel any pain, but he could feel that his shoulder was out of control. Moreover, as the area of ​​the central open space expanded, the number of zombies he could control was also decreasing, and he was about to reach his limit! He wanted to get closer to the zombies, but was held down by Zhao Lexi.

Suddenly, the connection between the controlling zombies and the zombie group was cut off, and the pressure on the thousands of evolved humans was relieved, and they were pushed back five meters in an instant.

At the same time, the zombies attacking the base were leaderless and became scattered, and some even began to attack the injured ones around them out of instinct. Further away, some zombies changed their direction and slowly moved away from the base.

There was a flash of panic in the eyes of the person controlling the zombie.

It always plans before acting and will not put itself in danger, but the current situation is indeed beyond its expectations. Although it can control some zombies without using its superpowers, it is limited to high-level level 5 zombies, and only a few of these level 5 zombies are left after being killed. The level 4 zombies cannot break through the encirclement, and now it can only rely on itself to survive.

But it knew very well that it was not as strong as the human in front of it.

But it is not without chance of winning.

While Zhao Lexi was hitting its shoulder hard, the other arm of the level 5 controlled zombie grabbed Zhao Lexi's chest.

It knew she had defensive abilities, but...

Zhao Lexi, who was highly concentrated, also noticed that the zombie was holding a piece of bone in his hand. The bone was about a foot long, one end of which was sharpened and flashed a cold metallic light.

She couldn't dodge at such a close distance.

Zhao Lexi had no doubt that the bone spurs on its hands could pierce his body. This zombie was more cunning than a human. It was afraid of him and already knew that he had defensive abilities, so it would definitely prepare weapons that could restrain him.

But she is not only a level 5 evolved person, she is also a warrior.

Zhao Lexi exerted force on her feet and turned her body sideways at an incredible angle. She did not loosen her right hand and even used the rotation of her body to place her left hand on its other shoulder!
Crush the other shoulder as well.

The bone spurs in the zombie's hand fell to the ground instantly.

The panic in its eyes was even more intense. It knew that Zhao Lexi was very powerful, but it didn't know that when it faced her head-on, there was such a huge gap in strength. It was not as fast as her, not as strong as her, not as defensive as her, and not as skilled in combat as her. Its control ability was also restrained. Now that it had used up all its trump cards, it...

Zhao Lexi didn't allow it to think so much. The opportunity was rare and would never come again. Her next step was to grab its neck, take off its head and put it into the space. She must not let its energy crystal flow out again, which would be too troublesome.

Seeing that he had succeeded, Zhao Lexi ignored everyone else and went into the zombie group and disappeared.

Seeing Zhao Lexi kill the controlling zombie, Zhao Shiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next thing will be much easier. The controlling zombie is dead. Next, we can break up the leaderless zombie group step by step and then eliminate them one by one.

But before that, there is one more thing to do.

Zhao Shiyun transferred most of the artillery fire to the south wall to cover the evolved people on the battlefield to narrow the encirclement and retreat in an orderly manner. At the same time, outside the north wall, the convoy, which had lost its artillery support, had no choice but to turn around and drive back to the base after most of them were killed or injured. The controlling zombies were dead, but the mission of blocking the convoy had already been passed on to the zombies here. The zombies gathered, and even if they were not controlled by the zombies, their instincts still drove them to gather towards the convoy when they saw the living humans.

The convoy had no choice but to drive back to base.

The people in the car thought about escaping from the Beicang Base and living a dependent life in the Capital Base; they also thought about not being able to escape and dying in the zombie swarm, but they never thought about returning to the Beicang Base alive.

The battle slowed down a bit. The tired and injured evolved humans, who were still able to stand, stood silently on both sides of the convoy. Countless pairs of eyes stared at the living people in the cars through the broken windows.

Some people looked calm, but more people looked at them with contempt.

At that moment, the expressionless Zhang Gang knew that his political career was over.

Liu Qinggang was younger after all, and felt guilty, so his expression was not as calm as Zhang Gang's. Facing so many people's contemptuous gazes, he couldn't hold back his pride and could not help but lower his head.

When he went back to see Liu Wanli, Liu Qinggang, who was full of grievances, told him the whole story in detail. He finally felt better, and even had some resentment in his heart: If Liu Wanli hadn't asked him to leave, he would have been one of the heroes who beat back the zombies on the wall. Instead of running back like a stray dog, he was in disgrace.

Liu Wanli did not pay attention to his nephew's expression. Before Liu Qing came in, he had just received the news that the number of zombies had been controlled. Combining his nephew's account of what happened, he had some vague guesses in his mind, but what he didn't understand was what was the purpose of the person manipulating all this behind the scenes?
He was capable of creating such a big scene right under the noses of these old guys. He could have left with the convoy to survive. If he was just resentful, he could have directly killed the entire convoy. Why did he just force the convoy back?
What is his purpose?
Liu Wanli couldn't figure it out, but he seemed to understand it a little.

At the same time, the battle situation continued to be reported to him. Liu Qinggang was embarrassed and felt that anyone who looked at him was laughing at him. He had just finished speaking and said goodbye and left.

Liu Wanli didn’t have time to care about him too much. He was even more confused. The number of zombies began to decrease. What was going on?

Could it be that the controlling zombie was killed? Who killed it?

Just when he was confused, Zhao Shiyun walked in.

Zhao Shiyun bowed to Liu Wanli, and went straight to the point to tell him all his previous and future plans. Then he sat quietly without being humble or arrogant, waiting for Liu Wanli's reaction.

Liu Wanli folded his hands, looking calm on the surface, but at this moment, a storm was brewing in his heart, with shock, joy, anger, regret, and countless other emotions swirling together:
He was shocked that Zhao Shiyun, at such a young age, had such a strategy and had countless capable people around him. Not only could he find the one controlling the zombie, but he could also kill it. Moreover, with his current reputation in the base, as long as he was alive, the base would never be safely handed over to others.

He was happy that the Beicang base's original doomed outcome had been changed, and the hundreds of thousands of survivors in the base now had a chance to survive.

He was angry. Although Zhao Shiyun was not his direct subordinate, he did not reveal any of these things to him, the top leader of the base. It was conceivable that he did not trust him.

He regretted that such a talent was the best candidate to take over the base, but it was obvious that his distrust of him made him miss the opportunity to win him over to become his own person, but why didn't he trust him? He asked himself if his actions were worthy of the people of the base! Yes, when he wanted to train his nephew to be his successor, he was not trustworthy. He spent his whole life serving the people, and the last bit of selfishness became a hurdle in his heart that he could not get over. However, having said that, if there was any suitable deputy base commander among the three, he would not consider Qing Gang as a second choice.

Zhao Shiyun could more or less guess what Liu Wanli was thinking. He dared to speak out openly because he considered that the old man was a leader who truly cared about the survivors of the base. When he figured out who was the most suitable person to inherit the base, he would make the choice that was most beneficial to the base even if he had some grudges in his heart.

What's more, Zhao Shiyun did not take things to the extreme. He sent Liu Qinggang back to his side.

Even though we know that this person may become an uncertain factor in the future.
