Wang He looked at the surrounding buildings and said, "Someone must have killed the zombie using a special-type ability."
The soldiers exchanged glances in confusion. If someone was able to kill the high-level zombie so easily, why hadn’t they gotten any information about such a strong person?
Half an hour later, the reinforcement team finally arrived. With the addition of soldiers with abilities helping them, they managed to clear the zombies after four hours. With just a glance, everyone knew that the number of casualties was not low at all.
At noon, the soldiers were cleaning up the zombies’ corpses while Rong Qinyu brought his cousin back to the base. As for the baby, he was handed to the soldiers and would later be handled by the base.
Inside the infirmary, Rong Mo’er lay on one of the beds with a pale face. Sitting on the chair beside the bed, Rong Qinyu stared at the wound on his cousin’s upper arm. The wound was caused by the high-level zombie and had started to show signs of mutation.
According to the doctor, the chance of her turning into a zombie was as high as 70%. They had already cut off the rotten flesh and treated the wound, but it didn’t stop the mutation.
He thought for a long time and took out a piece of transparent crystal core from his pocket. This was a level-three crystal core that he had obtained during his escape.
He was planning to save it for himself and use it during an emergency. But with his cousin’s condition getting worse by the minute, it seemed that he could only take the gamble.
Recalling the scene he had seen before, he stood up and went to the bathroom. Inside, he cleaned the crystal core with clean water and took several deep breaths to calm down.
"This is the only way. Qinyu, you can’t hesitate now," he talked to himself.
After a moment, he returned to the ward and looked around. Besides them, the rest of the beds were full, and there were lots of people in the ward.
But most of them were sleeping or doing their own things. Using his body to block their gazes, he put the crystal core into his cousin’s mouth.
The moment the crystal core entered Rong Mo’er’s mouth, she swallowed it instinctively. As the crystal core went down her throat, it melted and turned into energy.
Seeing that she swallowed the crystal, Rong Qinyu clenched his fists and sat down. Right now, he could only wait and hope that his cousin would be able to survive.
Meanwhile, Gu Shaoze and Xun Che’s team finally arrived at the border. Sitting in the back seat, he said, "Captain Xun, the nearest granary is located five kilometers in the right direction."
Hearing this, Xun Che nodded and informed the soldiers following them via a communication device. Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the granary area.
After parking their cars, they got out and gathered together. Xun Che checked the area and took out a map of Yunshan City and Lin’an City.
The moment they saw the size of the granaries, everyone was stunned. With the current number of base members, one granary could last them for six to eight months.
