Chapter 347 Living Zombies 24
"Captain Ling, there's a small group of zombies ahead, about three hundred in number."
In the desert where yellow sand filled the sky, Ling Yi sat on the roof of the car, her hair already dyed gray by the sand.
At that moment, I heard a report from my subordinate through the headset.
Two years have passed since her bathwater took effect.
In the past two years, the base has almost abandoned all scientific research except for vaccine projects, focusing on tackling this difficult problem.
As the leader of the task force, Xi Cheng was naturally overwhelmed with tasks and was trapped in the base, unable to leave.
Ling Yi hasn't seen him since she received orders two months ago to go to the destroyed Base Twelve to retrieve the survivors.
Right now, he's probably really crying in the base, hugging a blanket.
Thinking of this, Ling Yi's lips curled up slightly.
In those two years, her life was far more exciting than Xi Cheng's.
First, they formed a three-person combat squad, and after two months of development, they absorbed several smaller squads that were not very strong but had good organization, evolving their own combat squad into one of the top squads in the base.
Then she accepted several dangerous exploration missions from the base. After retrieving important equipment from two laboratories and several heavy machinery production lines, she was naturally recruited by the base.
She rose from a regular captain to a battalion commander capable of leading one of the base's three major combat units in just one year.
This wasn't because Professor Yu gave her special treatment, but because during the last zombie siege, she gave advance warning and used her lightning-based abilities to buy the base nearly three days of fighting time.
She rose through the ranks based on her military achievements, unlike ordinary superhumans who had never been exposed to politics and were easily manipulated.
After she actively engaged in the management of the base and made it more in line with the current social situation, someone finally couldn't tolerate her anymore and assigned her this task.
The journey is 1,500 li, and the road is full of zombie humans and various zombie mammals, making it extremely dangerous.
This is a task she is obligated to undertake, and also a task that can be negotiated not to undertake.
Those people deliberately gave her this difficult task in order to make her give up some of her rights inside the base.
If she wants to give up, she has to give up something in her possession to balance things out.
It has to be said that the saying "where there are people, there is a world of its own" is true.
Although the heroes of the martial arts world had been obedient and devoted to the previous leader of the martial arts alliance, this did not mean that they were willing to let an outsider forcefully intervene and seize the rights that belonged to them.
This was their counterattack, and also a gentle warning to Professor Yu about his high regard for the younger generation.
As long as you are willing to give up your power, you can still exist as the combat captain. Your abilities have already been recognized by everyone. As long as you do not infringe on the interests of others, everyone will tacitly accept your existence.
Does Ke Lingyi need anyone's approval?
What she needs is the position of leader of this base.
It must be admitted that she was once an artificial intelligence with an extremely strong desire for control, and now that she has become a human, she is also a human with an extremely strong desire for control.
When given the opportunity to reach the top, how could she possibly give it up?
So, she led her team off amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.
After half a month, they arrived at the dilapidated small base with less than 10,000 people left. They eliminated the invading zombies for them and led them on the long road back to the base.
The road wasn't very safe, but it wasn't too dangerous for her to walk on.
Just like now.
The moment the hundreds of zombies that had been monitored for so long appeared, a well-trained combat squad rushed out from the ranks.
With guns and superpowers working together, they wiped out everything in just one minute.
Ordinary people who follow the group are now quite calm in the face of this scene.
After nearly a month and a half of travel, they went from being terrified of zombies at the beginning to being indifferent now. All they had to go through was a few small-team massacres and being struck by lightning.
Everyone looked at the woman sitting in the car, letting the wind blow her, their eyes filled with fervent admiration.
Just when they thought the base was about to be destroyed, just when they thought their lives were coming to an end, this person appeared.
She led them out of danger and towards the new base.
The central base.
I heard it's a huge base with a million people. As long as people are willing to work, they can have enough food to fill their stomachs. No one will starve to death there, and the city won't be besieged by zombies all the time.
This is the paradise they can imagine in the apocalypse.
And they are going there soon.
Ling Yi observed the distant battle through her binoculars, her brows furrowing slightly.
After the battle ended, her voice came through the pager to the squad leader: "The timing of the gun and the superpower was too tight. The fire was blocking people's vision. Were you guys just shooting with your faith?"
"Also, the purpose of giving you fire-type and wind-type ability users is to work together, not to be a joke. What's the point of blowing the wind in the wrong direction? Are you giving it to zombies to burn?"
"Why would a water-type character water a wood-type character? To green the desert? Why are they with a lightning-type character? Did you even graduate elementary school? Did you learn anything about water conducting electricity?"
Her speech wasn't fast, nor was her voice loud, but it was precisely this slow, deliberate tone that made the squad leader blush.
Their group wasn't one of Ling Yi's original combat teams; they were guards from the Destruction Base itself.
In their world, combat relies on instinct and a little bit of teamwork; as long as they can kill zombies, that's enough. They don't think about anything as trivial as efficiency.
The so-called combination simply means that earth and fire elements are not together, and fire and water elements are not together.
But things were different with Ling Yi. All the superpowered individuals no longer took pride in their strength. Everyone had to become part of the combat unit and serve the commander's wishes.
This extremely restrictive fighting method initially caused dissatisfaction among those with superpowers.
Even though you're our savior, you can't control how we fight, can you? Just kill the zombies, isn't that enough?
It happened so fast, just like that!
Under the patient guidance of Ling Yi and Xiao Leiting, the superpowered individuals suddenly realized their mistakes and repented.
They're all killing zombies, so the higher the efficiency, the better. For the future of humanity, they're just cogs in the machine of the organization, ready to be deployed wherever needed!
So can you please stop chopping us? You've turned us into tin foil perms!
The squad, forced to accept the training, reluctantly followed Ling Yi's instructions, only to discover... that she actually seemed to have some skill!
By matching her ability users with ordinary people in a certain ratio, she instantly maximized the utilization of the scarce ability users.
With the protection of superhumans, ordinary soldiers no longer need to worry about powerful zombies and can unleash a barrage of bullets, greatly increasing their efficiency in killing enemies.
The superhumans no longer formed teams based on their relationships or private factions. Instead, Ling Yi organized them into several teams based on their attributes and the strength of their superpowers, and they rejoined the battle.
To be honest, after her major overhaul, their combat power has more than doubled, although they still haven't fully grasped the teamwork that Ling Yi talked about.
When they were first regrouped, the superhumans thought: "This is so annoying, having to fight people we don't know."
The current superhumans: I can take on ten more!
