47: Chapter 47 We Won

"Open the door."

Chen Xiaolin's cold voice fell.

The next second, the two girls closest to the door looked at each other and quickly walked towards the wooden door.

"Creak—Boom!"

The wooden door was violently pulled open by the two of them working together!

Cold air mixed with the strong stench of corpses surged in.

Outside the door, densely packed zombies filled the entire hillside.

Wherever the eyes could see, there were only rotting zombies.

Just as the horde was about to surge in.

"Thunderstep."

Chen Xiaolin's voice was very soft, yet carried a thunderous humming sound.

Hundreds of fine, cyan-purple electric arcs erupted from her body!

Her chestnut-colored short hair also flew up due to the electric arcs.

The next moment, her figure completely blurred, leaving behind only a slowly dissipating afterimage outlined by countless tiny electric arcs.

Her true body had already turned into a bolt of lightning, violently crashing into the surging zombie tide!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

A series of dense, teeth-grinding sounds of piercing and bursting, almost merging into one, suddenly rang out like the drums of death!

The first to suffer were the seven or eight zombies blocking the doorway, preparing to surge in.

They didn't even see what happened before their heads flew high into the sky, as if sliced by an invisible blade, like watermelons!

The zombies' movements, under the terrifying dynamic vision and neural reaction speed granted by her "Body of Wind and Thunder," were as slow as stationary targets.

In front of the cabin door, a semicircular area with a radius of five meters had already been cleared!

After a ten-minute rest inside the cabin, the girls inside had also recovered some stamina.

Xia Jin and Shu Qianxue looked at each other.

They could not leave all the heavy responsibility to Chen Xiaolin.

"Everyone who can hold a weapon and still has stamina, charge with me!"

Shu Qianxue and Xia Jin followed the path opened by Chen Xiaolin and charged out first.

"Crossbow Shooters! Free fire, cover the doorway area, prioritize clearing the zombies at the edge of the cliff!"

Bai Yu's calm voice issued the order again.

"Charge!"

"Fight them to the end!"

"For the Tribe! For Qi Bao!"

All the girls in the cabin who still had the strength to stand, whether they were basic warriors, Crossbow Shooters, or non-combat professions, let out hysterical shouts!

They gripped whatever weapons they could find: farmers' hoes, sharpened wooden spears, cooks' cleavers.

Following the three figures in front, they crazily rushed out of the crumbling wooden cabin!

Morale was skyrocketing in this team!

[Zombie Tide Remaining Time: 00:06:01]

A basic warrior girl's longsword pierced a zombie's eye socket, and foul blood splashed onto her face.

She didn't care, roaring as she kicked the zombie's corpse away and turned her longsword to the next one.

Mo Lan, of the chef profession, holding a kitchen knife, cooperated with the girls holding wooden sticks to laboriously control and kill the zombies.

Ke Yun stood inside the door, fully channeling the recovery effect of [Hymn of Life].

The Crossbow Shooters were clearing the zombies at the cliff's edge while covering the girls fighting in the front.

Soft green light enveloped every fighting girl, healing their minor wounds and supporting their overdrawn stamina.

They echoed each other, covering one another, and all the combat power of 01 Tribe erupted with far greater strength than usual.

[Zombie Tide Remaining Time: 00:05:31]

The front line was being pushed back by brute force at a visible speed!

Chen Xiaolin was like the sharpest arrowhead, weaving wantonly through the zombie tide.

She used her extreme speed to specifically attack the densest areas of the horde, scattering and cutting them apart.

Xia Jin's sword technique was precise and ruthless, specializing in beheading the stragglers and paralyzed zombies;

Shu Qianxue's power was violent, responsible for repelling the zombies' counterattacks and consolidating the breakthrough point.

[Zombie Tide Remaining Time: 00:04:33]

On the hillside, a thick layer of zombie corpses had already been laid down.

The zombies near the cabin had been cleared, and there were no more zombies on the cliff.

The girls had actually pushed the front line back by over twenty meters in one go!

Maintaining the battle line at the middle of the slope.

[Zombie Tide Remaining Time: 00:01:59]

The battle entered its cruelest stage.

Girls began to get injured; some were scratched by zombies, others collapsed from exhaustion, but they were immediately dragged back into the formation by their companions.

Ke Yun's "Hymn of Life" aura enveloped everyone, making a final effort.

Xia Jin and Shu Qianxue also added new wounds, but they didn't retreat a single step.

[Zombie Tide Remaining Time: 00:01:22]

The last eighty-two seconds.

Each second felt as long as a century.

The defense line was constantly being impacted by the zombie tide.

The girls' shouts had become hoarse, their movements wielding weapons slightly deformed, all supported by an unyielding will.

[Zombie Tide Remaining Time: 00:00:47]

Chen Xiaolin was panting heavily.

Sweat dripped from her chin like a small stream.

The power of wind and thunder in her body was nearly exhausted, and every breath brought searing pain.

But she couldn't stop; she had to hold on.

[Zombie Tide Remaining Time: 00:00:19]

On the far right of the defense line, 2 girls collapsed to the ground from exhaustion!

Three zombies howled and pounced on them!

"Careful!"

Shu Qianxue's eyes were splitting, wanting to return to help, but she was tightly entangled by the zombie horde in front of her.

Xia Jin shouted angrily, her blood blade slashing wildly, but it was too far away, too late!

Just at this critical moment.

Three throwing knives accurately shot into the zombies' heads.

Qi Yun, who didn't know when he had woken up, joined the battle at this most critical moment.

The two girls were immediately dragged away from the front by the Crossbow Shooters behind them.

"The Clan Leader is awake!"

"The Clan Leader is awake!"

Qi Yun's awakening made the girls' morale even higher.

[Zombie Tide Remaining Time: 00:00:10]

"Hold on! Last ten seconds!"

Qi Yun used his last strength, his hoarse voice reaching every girl fighting.

[Zombie Tide Remaining Time: 00:00:05... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0.]

The moment the dazzling red countdown numbers on the system panel finally hit zero.

Time seemed to be gently pressed on pause by an invisible hand.

All the zombies that were crazily roaring and scratching suddenly stiffened.

The crazy, mindless scarlet light in their eyes instantly dimmed and extinguished, turning into a dead, gray-white color.

As far as the eye could see, the densely packed zombies all fell softly and silently to the ground, with no more sound.

The battlefield, which was roaring and smelling of blood just a second ago.

The next second, it fell into a dead silence.

Only the suffocatingly thick smell of blood permeated the air.

The girls' heavy panting, the "clanging" sound of weapons falling from their hands, and the suppressed sobs and weeping of those who survived drifted gently on the empty hillside.

It was over.

This terrifying zombie tide that lasted for two hours...

Finally, it was over.

On the horizon, the twilight light illuminated this purgatory-like hillside covered with severed limbs and arms.

The sunlight caressed every girl who was standing or sitting, crying or laughing, all of whom had survived.

They had survived.

Not a single casualty.

Chen Xiaolin steadied her body shakily, looking at the battlefield covered in corpses before her.

She revealed a tired but incredibly brilliant smile.

She turned her head, looked at Qi Yun beside her, and said softly:

"Qi Bao... we won."

On the leaderboard.

[01 Tribe: 16000 points]

[Tribe 03: 800 points]

[Tribe 29: 530 points]

[98 Tribe: 450 points]

01 Tribe is leading by a cliff-like margin!
