CHAPTER 918: CHAPTER 217: HOW COULD I POSSIBLY LET YOU DOWN?_3

Commander Chen’s expression was very grave.

Can we hold them back?

Definitely not.

The number of zombies approaching from afar is just too many, even though their firepower is fierce, we absolutely cannot hold them off.

"Wang Yu, go make a call now, here’s the number, no matter what, you must contact them." Commander Chen said urgently. If Sun Neng knew the situation now, he would definitely show a helpless expression.

Isn’t this just asking for trouble?

Why bother?

We should’ve made the call early to establish contact, but you waited until danger approached.

Just playing with excitement?

"Yes." Wang Yu took the number and quickly ran towards the base’s communication room, but he also questioned in his heart, can we hold out until they arrive?

After all, Sunshine Shelter is too far from here.

To get here.

Wang Yu’s heart grew more anxious, maybe it’s just self-comfort.

Outside.

Commander Chen began to arrange the next steps, "Xiao Zhao, get the women, children, and elderly in the base to the basement to hide immediately, until we receive confirmation of safety, keep the doors closed."

"Yes, Commander."

Zhao Xiaotian was also very nervous, hurriedly leaving to fulfill the Commander’s orders. The current situation exceeded imagination. Seeing the massive herd of zombies made his heart pound with an unexplainable sense of oppression.

He was truly afraid.

But this fear could only be buried in his heart; some things must be faced bravely.

"Everyone, danger has arrived, I know seeing these zombies makes you wonder whether we can deal with them given our situation, but we have no choice, we must face them, this is our last retreat, once lost, we retreat no further."

"If anyone fears or doesn’t want to die, hide in the basement. Maybe what’s in the Zombie Album is true, and we might wait for a rescue, so it’s your choice."

Commander Chen looked at everyone.

And everyone looked back at Commander Chen.

"Commander, we won’t retreat, we must fight these things, this is our last retreat, if we retreat, there’s truly nothing left, plus, we may not lose, I believe in the base."

"Yes, I believe too."

Each spoke one after another, with determined expressions, well-prepared to fight the zombies.

The old, weak, women, and children hid. If the base really was overrun, they could at least hide there, and if the Zombie Album was real, maybe there’s still a chance to survive.

"Good." Commander Chen’s voice began to tremble.

Not from fear.

But moved by everyone’s determined answers.

Just then.

A voice came from afar.

"Hahaha, are you scared now? Have you felt despair yet? I called these zombies here today to breach your base and let you feel the depths of despair."

Qian Tao’s arrogant voice echoed.

But he still didn’t show up, clearly afraid of being killed by sniper fire.

Commander Chen on the city wall heard Qian Tao’s words, and his face changed drastically, everyone couldn’t believe such a thing.

Is Qian Tao controlling them?

Impossible, how could it be?

How could he possibly achieve this?

At least tens of thousands of zombies, if Qian Tao really could control so many, their base would have been gone long ago.

Even if Qian Tao had enhancements, it couldn’t have increased to this level in such a short time, right?

The Zombie Album does record it.

An Awakener’s ability requires crystal enhancement, and it’s impossible to suddenly enhance to such a terrifying level, this is absolutely impossible.

"Qian Tao, are you dreaming? How could those zombies possibly be controlled by you? Don’t you know your own abilities?" Commander Chen angrily rebuked.

Qian Tao shouted: "What do you understand? Just wait for death, as my zombie army breaches your base, I’ll watch as you are bitten by zombies, leaving not even a corpse bone."

Commander Chen had no more words.

With things at such a point, he knew fighting to the death was the only way for survival.

"Commander, I made the call."

Wang Yu ran back, sweating all over his forehead, nerves ever-present, only in true crisis can such chaotic emotions manifest.

"What’s the response?" Commander Chen asked.

Wang Yu swallowed and said, "They said to hold out for a few minutes, they’ll be here soon."

Commander Chen: ...?

Zhao Xiaotian: ...?

Everyone: ...?

Bitter laughter, deeply troubled emotions.

Commander Chen sighed: "Just playing with us, huh, separated by such a distance, arriving in minutes, sigh, we can only rely on ourselves now, everyone get ready, in any case, we must stand and fight them."

The worst was prepared.

To fight the zombies.

And hope those hiding in the basement survived, if Sunshine Shelter really arrived, they would rescue those in the basement.

"Commander, look over there." A survivor shouted urgently.

Everyone looked to the distance.

Qian Tao appeared far away, but his situation wasn’t good, he was directly grabbed by the head and held by a zombie covered in spikes.

"Let me go, let me go, I’m your boss, what the hell are you doing to me?" Qian Tao swung his legs wildly, roaring angrily, and then looked at that strange, controlled zombie, "What are you doing, let it go of me."
