Chapter 159

159 Battle Begins

Gu Jincheng came behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

He could feel her nervousness for the past two days, so he comforted her.

Su Shanshan felt much more at ease. He could always reassure her with a sentence at the right time. She leaned gently in his arms. At this time, the setting sun no longer represented tomorrow’s crisis, but the proof of their previous romance.

Su Shanshan and Gu Jincheng, who had not slept the entire night, noticed a black shadow when it appeared in the sky. The small black shadow flapped its wings and flew over.

The two of them immediately went out to the high platform they had built in the center of the base in two days. The patrolling soldiers also discovered the zombie birds. They blew their horns and woke up the people in the base.

Everyone stood ready.

Su Shanshan and Gu Jincheng stood on the high platform and watched as more and more zombie birds appeared in the sky. As they got closer, their figures became larger and larger. They were almost the size of a basketball. Every bird was like an eagle swooping down from the sky.

As soon as they got closer, everyone could smell the strong stench on the zombie birds. This stench made the veteran superpowered people feel like vomiting.

Ordinary people who were hiding at home were also stimulated by the smell. Some of them were so weak that they fainted from it.

Su Shanshan subconsciously stopped breathing, but she was already prepared, so she felt better. After all, she had already experienced it in her previous life. She looked at Gu Jincheng, who was beside her. His expression did not change at all, as if he had no sense of smell.

Su Shanshan was curious and asked, “Don’t you think it stinks?”

“Stinky.” Gu Jincheng’s words were concise and comprehensive. After saying that, he shut his mouth.

Seeing him like this, Su Shanshan knew that it was really smelly. However, his expression management was really good. This was the first time he had smelled such a stench, but he could still hold back his expression.

“Begin the attack!” Su Shanshan ordered.

The people who were confused by the stench came back to their senses and focused on attacking. The fire-type superpowered people were the first to throw fireballs into the sky. The zombie birds that were hit by the fireballs screamed and fell to the ground, but the people did not relax because there were more zombie birds that dodged the fireballs.

More and more zombie birds came over like a dark cloud. The entire sky above the base was covered. If they relied on the superpowers’ attacks, they would probably be overwhelmed.

At this moment, the people in the base finally realized how terrifying the zombie birds were. They could not help but be glad that they had believed Su Shanshan’s words back then. Otherwise, they would probably have lost miserably in the first round.

Seeing that it was about time, Su Shanshan glanced at Gu Jincheng.

Gu Jincheng understood and threw a lightning ball in his hand into the sky. However, he did not throw it at the zombie birds, but at the top pillar of the platform they were on. This pillar was very tall, reaching the height of the zombie birds.

When the lightning ball touched the highest point of the pillar, it instantly emitted a purple flame. Then the power of the lightning spread to the sky above the entire base, along the line connected to the pillar.

“Water-type superpowers, move!” Su Shanshan shouted just in time.
