Chapter 229
After the man finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Because they had automatically imagined the scene of tens of thousands of zombies attacking the city in their minds, replacing it with their own base.
Their base's walls were not as sturdy and high as those of the western base.
They didn't have those deep trenches and barbed wire fences.
Nor did they have an abundance of guns and ammunition.
Not to mention the overwhelming combat power of a large number of soldiers and reinforcements from other bases.
Even with all these advantages, the western base had nearly been overrun.
What about their own base?
The thought of tens of thousands of zombies trampling over their base, savagely tearing apart the people inside, made them shudder and break out in a cold sweat.
At that moment, they suddenly remembered Peng Shaowei's zombie cleanup plan.
"Base Leader Peng, my Dahai Base is willing to join your zombie cleanup plan!" Wang Dahai spoke up first.
"You're right, the zombies must be eliminated as soon as possible, or the consequences will be dire.
They already pose such a terrifying threat, and if they grow any stronger, it will be a catastrophe for humanity."
Wang Dahai's words echoed the thoughts of many.
"Yes, our Glory Military Base will join too!"
"Count us in!"
"Yangcheng Base is in!"
"Rongsheng Base has no objections."
"..."
Agreement rang out one after another.
Everyone expressed their willingness.
At this moment, the air seemed to grow warmer with passion.
Everyone was unprecedentedly united!
"Base Leader Peng, tell us what to do, and we'll follow your lead," Wang Dahai spoke again.
All eyes turned to Peng Shaowei.
But Peng Shaowei changed the subject.
"We'll discuss the specific plan later, because there's still one important matter we haven't completed."
"What matter?" Wang Dahai asked.
Peng Shaowei turned his gaze toward Yun Xiaoxiao and Tang Yanchi and their teams.
"Didn't the friends from Yun City and Xiangrui Base still have a match to determine the winner?"
With Peng Shaowei's reminder, everyone remembered the duel between Yun Xiaoxiao and Tang Yanchi.
"Oh right, which side killed more zombies?"
"I'm curious too."
Everyone's interest was piqued.
Although they had initially witnessed the formidable strength of Yun Xiaoxiao and her team, later everyone was busy dealing with zombies themselves, so they didn't pay much attention.
Thus, they didn't know if Tang Yanchi's team had managed to catch up.
"Now, I'll have someone count the number of zombies each side killed. What do you think?"
Peng Shaowei looked at both sides.
Yun Xiaoxiao had no objections.
Having Peng Shaowei oversee it would be more fair and convincing.
Tang Yanchi's side also had no issues.
So, Peng Shaowei had Hao Ren take his men to make the count.
Earlier, Yun Xiaoxiao and Tang Yanchi had agreed that Yun Xiaoxiao's team would sever the right hand of the zombies they killed, while Tang Yanchi's team would sever the left hand.
So overall, it was easy to distinguish.
Everyone eagerly awaited the results.
After all, this would determine if the evolution serum from Yun City was truly effective.
Although Rongsheng Base and Yangcheng Base had already vouched for it, seeing is believing.
The effectiveness could only be proven on the battlefield.
After about twenty minutes, Hao Ren returned with two sheets of paper.
"How is it? Which side won?"
Wang Qingdong, Wang Dahai's son, couldn't wait to ask.
"Yeah, what's the result?"
Everyone waited for the final answer.
Peng Shaowei nodded at Hao Ren, "Go ahead and announce it."
Hao Ren nodded and held up the two sheets of paper for everyone to see.
"Everyone, the data in my right hand is from Yun City, and the left hand is from Xiangrui Base.
After careful verification, we confirmed that Xiangrui Base killed a total of five thousand eight hundred and ninety-six zombies."
As soon as he finished speaking, murmurs broke out around him.
"Nearly six thousand zombies, wow, that means each of them killed about six hundred zombies?"
"Incredible strength! No wonder Xiangrui Base is so proud."
"I'm convinced, no wonder they have the confidence to be arrogant."
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Tang Yanchi's face was full of pride.
This was just normal for them; these people were overreacting, truly lacking insight.
He looked challengingly at Yun Xiaoxiao.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
See that? This is our strength!
Don't think you can win just because you made a big splash at the start. You were just pandering to the crowd!
"Wait... if I'm not mistaken, Yun City killed... one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... twenty-one thousand one hundred and eleven zombies!"
A man who was a bit closer to Hao Ren widened his eyes in shock and exclaimed.
"Yes, the friends from Yun City indeed killed twenty-one thousand one hundred and eleven zombies."
Hao Ren confirmed the man's statement.
The moment the words left his mouth, the entire place fell into a brief silence.
Aside from the initial wave of zombies wiped out by bombs, bullets, and fire, there were about seventy to eighty thousand zombies left.
And Yun Xiaoxiao's team, with just six people and two beasts, had eliminated a quarter of them!
"Am I going deaf? I think I'm hallucinating!"
Someone patted their ears, doubting they had heard correctly.
Others also looked incredulous.
"My goodness, are they even human? I mean that in the most sincere and earnest way possible, expressing my genuine astonishment."
I suddenly feel like a total waste. Just a moment ago, I was proud of myself for killing thirty zombies, but look at them—on average, each person killed over two thousand six hundred zombies!
"I'm depressed, seriously, don't try to comfort me, it won't help..."
"I just thought Xiangrui Base was impressive, but compared to Yun City, they really don't measure up."
"Hey, don't say that so loudly, it'll hurt their feelings."
"..."
Everyone chimed in with their thoughts.
Their gazes toward Yun Xiaoxiao and her team were filled with admiration.
For Peng Shaowei, this result didn't come as a surprise.
Others might not have noticed, but he had been on the city wall the whole time.
Although he was busy killing zombies himself, he had kept an eye on Yun City's situation.
If the commotion from other areas was like a small stone dropped into a lake, theirs was like a giant boulder crashing into it.
The damage to the zombies was incomparable.
However, even though he understood this, he couldn't just state it outright.
Only concrete data could make people believe.
And now, everyone was thoroughly impressed.
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Tang Yanchi's face fell.
He glared at Hao Ren, his tone sharp.
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in your count?"
