B Base is under attack

"Good morning everyone, I'm your host. Call me Pam. It is now down to 60 contestants. Our top ten is as follows :

Shi Lan 179 points is seated at the ten spot. Many may not know him but he is by far a very intuitive contestant on the competition grounds. It's as it he can see the enemy from a large distance away and avoid danger while grasping opportunities easily. Many have been asking if he is just lucky or does our handsome number 10 have a secret? Mmm, I can't tell but he certainly looks badass with a chain as his main weapon. Who knew there are so many ways to use a chain in a battle?

At number 9 is Huan Wuan with 188 points. This one is very strong and tends to favor his two long knives, ladies, I heard this one is single and looking. Careful with those sharp blades though. Did you see him cut down an entire army of zombies in the first stage of the competition? Is it me or the weather is getting hot in the dead of winter?

[Xulan😈 : Host don't be so thirsty. Ah..]

[Miomio5♟: Handsome? All I saw was a killing machine covered in black blood and gore.]

[Phil🧜‍♂️ : Host is so beautiful, but your taste in men needs mending.]

[Peaceonearth 🧘‍♂️ : Forget those violent men host, come to me. I am a doctor who saves lives, I can also check you for a fever by the way.]

"At number 8 We have the all powerful Whip queen with 220 points. Clad in tight leather pants and flexible jacket. She can take down several zombies and send heads flying with a casual swing of her crocodile spine whip. She is so beautiful and powerful. She set a great example for us women out there.

That whip caught fire and a Phoenix was born. Ahhhh....so cool."

[....]

[....]

[...]

[Peaceonearth 🧘‍♂️ : The host just likes heroes.]

"At number 7 Brother Jin with 255 points. Brother Jin is normally seen teaching kids in the base I have a niece who adores him. He is usually refined and smiles kindly to the children. I saw him wave many small looking daggers and then controlled flying knives to massacre a group of mutated wolves in less than 4 minutes. *Shocked* Also, I suddenly got a craving for grilled mutated wolf meat. Wink wink."

[Miomio5♟Is that an invitation to brother Jin, why is he 'brother' Jin? Host is thirsty again.]

"[Xulan😈 : She had just redeemed herself a moment ago.]

[Phil🧜‍♂️ :Relapse]

[Baimo12: Relapse]

"At number six we have Min Min, she can transform into any form but she especially likes the cat form. This is why the fans are calling her meow meow. She is not the strongest but when she takes on a strong form. You better run. She is nimble and cunning. Most importantly she has wind supernatural power to stun the enemy. I'm telling you, she is already my general."

"At number 5 we have Mo Fan. The dark prince. Don't get it wrong he doesn't have the shadow powers. No, he has plant type powers but when you look at him, the phrase 'tall dark and handsome' comes to mind. Wherever he goes on the competition grounds, death, carnage and miserable screamsof the enemy follows!"

[I eat poetry: The host is so cute, did you see her 'death to the enemy' face? She reminds me of my cat. All growl and no claws.]

[Pingpong lol : Did your cat miss the mutation memo?]

[I eat poetry: I'm dying of laughter. Do you mean all the mutated animals RSVP'd to the Memo for mutation?]

[Pingpong lol : Otherwise?]

[I eat poetry: ....]

"At number 4 we have Fu Lu with 270 points. Also called the White fairy because she is a light supernatural power user. Are you surprised? Yeah, it turns out light power is very lethal. She can heal you or burn you to death with the same light power. She can turn her entire body to be faster than those with speed supernatural power. Most importantly, she is already level 8.

She can stand in the middle of a horde of zombies and obliterate them without dropping a sweat. Honestly I like her chances at taking the price. Speaking of the price, the leader has been very tight lipped about that one. Very.....mysterious.."

[Pink💓sunday : The host must have an idea, your face is a little smug.]

[Booboobo8 ⚘: Yeah. That is a face begging for a soft punch.]

"At number 3 we have Stan with 290. Stan was an extreme sport enthusiast and now he plays with a sword all day long in the practice grounds. I have personally gone to watch him a few times...it's just very therapeutic to watch him....cough cough..."

[Swordlover🤺 : I think I saw visible shame on her face.]

[Sawha : Stalker.]

"The 2nd place is non other than Lin Yun With her snow flame. And that grace with which she does the sword technique to perfection....Ahhh.....she is my goddess. So poised, so cold. That ice temperament. General snow flame! Ahhh.

[Liyans : When your host lost her cool demeanor.]

[Hoistjar : Did she have it. I didn't see it?]

"At number one we have the golden dragon flame Xu Bai with 608 points. Yeah. I know what you are all thinking. General material."

[Haikom : The host has completely lost her face. Is that drool on the side of her lips?]

[Sawha : It sure is, the level of thirsting over the generals is substantial.]

The competition went on for the better part of winter. When the competition finally closed, no one had won against a zombie higher than level 8. The difference between humans and zombies is obvious in a fight. People were sad they didn't see a high level zombie die.

The 15 people stood on a temporary stage inside the inner base looking at the leader. "You were the most promising of the 5000 people out there. I am slightly pleased with your results. However, am hoping for better results in the future. You know your own weakness and your strength.

I suppose I was very harsh on your evaluation and even harsher on your training. So I have decided to have 10 kings. The remaining 5 will have the honor of being the 5 princes. Go to old Mo during the week to get your assignment and benefits as royals of the inner base. Don't celebrate too early. My first kings each built a city for themselves. What will be your legacy?"

She dismissed yhe group and after giving them the space rings with a special jade slip and a few resources to enjoy as newly crowned kings and princes/princesses.

The winter has been going on for a little over half a year. There are improvement results from the base other than the quality of soldiers increasing, there is also the invention of light vehicles. They use that purple resource to hover a high distance from the ground.

There is also an option of using normal on the ground driving. The factory in the prison has made many models from small cars to large trucks. Amelia's favorite is the uniform black in color and the material is very durable but not uncomfortable to wear.

There are vehicles for traveling in the wild which and for transportation of large numbers of people or materials designed in the new model. It makes the army look very imposing especially the black color of the uniform and the cars.

When she is free she goes to mine resources. Many space rings have several pounds of resources mined from the West region she had visited before. She made sure to find the energy stones it surprised her they are similar but different to spirit stones.

Zhu Li had used the spirit stones for the fueling energy and found it very useful but it is stil nothing in comparison to the energy stone. It lasts longer and the power it provides does not get wasted during the process which is not the case with the spirit stones.

The winter quietly went on but many people didn't die from this harsh weather, most were rescued from miserable fates to come and live in the Jiangkang Hospital base which is a paradise compared to the life they lived before.

They have warm clothing to wear, food for the belly and the internet for entertainment. The new generals are not relaxed at all. Amelia heard they attended a meeting called by the old kings and they were educated on diligence and hard work.

The Jiangkang base is peaceful, there is even a fire spell in the middle of the inner base that only burns the chill. Someone careless actually fell on the fire but was unharmed. This is why Amelia can let the flame burn in the middle of the base like this.

...

"Are you sure?" A handsome man with a pair of sharp eyes looked at the girl with a serious expression.

"I wouldn't come to you otherwise." The girl looked at his doubtful expression with a flat expression. She always feels like this young master of the Wei family looks down on her for some reason.

"I will inform everyone. Just a quick question. Why did you come to me?"

"Otherwise who do I go to?" Zhou An raised an eyebrow. This surprised the first young master of the Wei family. Most people preferred dealing with his brother. Why would this young lady specifically look for him? Does she have a crush on him? Will she start pestering him like she did her fiancé?

"Unbelievable, you are staring into the distance while we discuss such an important topic. You know what? Believe, don't believe I couldn't care less because I will be out there while you admire the walls." Zhou An sneered and left.

On second thought, he may have thought too much. Who would berate the subject of their affection like this? The important thing is to sound the alarm.

The North of the base, a group of stiff zombies came one by one until tens of thousands of zombies could be seen. Wei Jie was told that the leader has speed type ability on top of another ability and it is estimated to be at level 8 or 9 very powerful and swift.

The soldiers stood on the wall shaking slightly at the sight, hands gripped the guns firmly. "They said the leader is a speed and plant type ability user." One soldier told another one.

"Plant type? Why is it that power out of all the powers? Plant type zombies are harder to kill than metal type zombies. This is going to be a very hard battle. Many of us won't make it back." The sad but firm tone made everyone grasp the significance of this fight.

The zombies finally made it to below the wall and stood silently not even the roaring of zombies could be heard. The soldiers fired the first shot and all hell broke loose.

Zhou An is already at level 8 and a few of her army leaders are also at this level. She is busy trying to call Amelia for help. She can no help but want to have her here as support but as usual, Amelia is not answering. What she doesn't know is that after seeing that the plant type zombie is attacking base B, Amelia took off to find the supplies of the Northern army and that missing depo.

She has been reducing the detours all this time using Zhu Li's technology to find the exact location so she just appeared outside the military base and emptied it of all the vehicles, the guns and uniforms. Even the furniture is taken away by her. There are a few high level zombies inside but they were all quickly dealt with by her.

Amelia looked back at the empty structure and decided to rush to the depo. The real depo is not by the tall buildings where the secret lab is located. It is even upper in the North.

Amelia found it with little effort and is delighted by the amount of grain. It is true that the food stored here can feed half the nation. That is billions of people eating two times a day for a year.

She didn't stand on ceremony and emptied it all into her space and some space artifacts so it doesn't look unsightly in her space. Even with her mental power it took her half a day to loot this place.

The battle has been going on the entire day, Amelia came just in time as the zombies had bridged one of the areas and entered. They roared and ponced on the people there after smelling their enticing human blood.

Appearing out of nowhere wearing the combat gear from her base. The outfit is thick and flexible but also allows for blood to slide down the leather material during a fight. The shoes are black female style boots that has an elastic material to cling to the legs. There is a small heel making it classy and beautiful but easy to fight in.

Her long hair reached the lower part of the waist. She had casually tied it in a ponytail but it's easy to see its thickness and shiny luster making it seem like long strands of silky threads. Her large blue eyes scanned the surroundings with a critical gaze.

This place is the slums where many useless people reside. It is unknown if it is neglected or the soldiers are short staffed because of the war.

Zhou An has already been to the battlefield all day. The men under her command work well together, they learned to coordinate during this time when they were living outside.

Amelia had come as a few people were being eaten. Zombies biting, people running away and screaming in terror. There is blood and discarded limbs littering the ground. The scene is too chaotic if she slice with space blades, innocent people will also die.

Amelia felt distressed there are even young kids here witnessing such horror. Suddenly she remembered something and took out a few talismans and lit them up. The area where slums are located, a bright white light shot up burning all the nearby zombies to smithereens. Only the sound of falling zombie crystal nucleus sounded after a while.

The high level zombies are burnt to crisp but they still have time to run. She cut off a few heads finding them while everyone is still blinded by the light. When the talisman deemed, a single figure stood surrounded by chard zombie bodies with severed heads.

The people who were screaming in pain forgot to scream seeing this scene. Amelia cured them of the invading virus and healed their injuries with her high level plant type ability. They wept in gratitude but others stood there as if lost. They had probably lost someone today. She looked around seeing the corpses of humans on the ground as well.

She lifted her head and saw a pair of deep shrewd eyes studying he. A small smile tugged at Wei Jie's sexy lips as he looked at the woman he hasn't seen in almost a year.

"You're still alive, good." The same beautiful voice from before. She hasn't changed except for the attire she is wearing. He has always seen her wear flowing dresses that somewhat hide her hot figure. Now in combat tight pants she is making his nose bleed.

"What was the light just now?" Wei Jie asked to distract himself.

"Light power talisman. Zombies will burn if they come in contact with it but humans are fine." Amelia looked to the far side of the zombie army as she stands on the wall next to Wei Jie.

"I can sense the high level plant type zombie that direction." She looked at Wei Jie with a sly smile on her face.

"Can you take him? He used to be a soldier so you better be ready." She asked him. Wei Jie Shook his head.

"I am only at level 7, in fact most of us are at level 7. There is a level 8 but she doesn't have experience to fight such a high level zombie."

After burning all the zombies on the side of the wall so their companions don't climb up using zombies corpse, they walked to the place were the main fight is taking place. Just as she came she heard an argument.

"I can feel that you are clearly at level 8, why are you refusing to go fight the level 8 zombie? Could it be that you want to wait until everyone is dead?" A conspiratorial voice sounded. The surrounding soldiers looked at Zhou An in complex eyes.

"I just reached level 8 and by sending me out there, you are just asking for my death, Liang Mei robbing my fiancé was not enough now you even want my life?"

"How laughable. I will give him back if you go down and fight. I just don't want to see everyone die while you could have saved them." The soldiers started looking at Liang Mei gratefully while they silently condemned Zhou An.

"What a strong smell of green tea. Elder sister is still the best at talking. You want to kill your enemies with a borrowed knife, father taught you well." Amelia said walking side by side with Wei Jie.

Liang Mei's eyes bulged in surprise. She turned to Wei Jie who is giving her a disgusted look. He hid it well but she can see it. She seemed like a scheming person just now. Amelia must have hidden their presence from her just to make her look bad.

Amelia really did it. She had initially wanted to surprise her elder sister but who would have thought she will catch her trying to set people up?

A man stood in front of Liang Mei protectively and glared at Zhou An hatefully. "All you can do is accuse wildly and gang up on people." The man said harshly. 

Zhou An's eyes glistened with visible tears. Just as she is about to curse, a cold snort came from Amelia.

She walked and faced the tall man covering her sister. "Yo, who is this block of wood, I was obviously the one who called Liang Mei a pretentious green tea bitch. why is he attacking that little sister? Do they have amenity between them?"

Ye Cheng felt uncomfortable being stared at by this little girl who seems to see through him. Amelia raised an eyebrow. "A water type?" She turned and looked at Liang Mei from behind the tall man.

"So this man is hoping you will show him how to use his water abilities to be as powerful as you? No wonder he would be so harsh on an obviously innocent woman." Her words hit like a hammer on an already cracking wall. 

"That...Is what she said true?" Zhou An said with a vulnerable chocked up. 

"Enough with the teenage drama, the high level zombie is on the move."

Amelia floated up and a gleaming heavy blade appeared on her hand. "Elder sister, I'll leave you to your high school drama, excuse me while I go harvest a high level zombie nuclei." Amelia put her hands behind her while she put on a dotine smile on her face.

"Princesses like you should stand behind a man like how you're doing now and let your bastard sister do all the work. It's what's your mother would say." 

Just as she is about to leave, a beam of light shot towards her head. Amelia teleported a small distance away and a few strands of hair fell from her previous position. "Elder sister is indeed her mother's daughter. Aim for the head and destroy your father's shame from the start." Amelia said with a smirk.

"But if you want to ambush me, prepare to be ambushed in return." This statement reminded Liang Me of Amelia's sinister poison back then.

Seing her elder sister's distracted expression, she tilted her head to the side. "Or have you forgotten how you came close to death the last time you raised a weapon against me? How is your thigh? Not limping anymore?" Amelia laughed and disappeared towards the zombie. Internally she is cursing. 

"Elder sister had time to laze around and casually comprehended sword intent. Damnit all, that pesky heroine halo is so annoying. I can't wait for the era of interstellar." 

Amelia cursed and turned to look at her sister who is right behind her riding a sword her entire body shrouded in sword light. It seems gentle but that light can shred bone to powder. She teleported to the zombie's position. Now not only does she have to fight this zombie but she also has to watch out for her elder sister's newly acquired sword light.

Amelia has an attainment in Intent it's just....she promised her teacher to only use it in an honorable manner. For instance, not to show off her superior talent in order to crush someone's self esteem.

Although, it would be great to crush her sister's self esteem and wipe that disgusting smugness off her face just now. She greeted her teeth but still didn't bring it out.

"You were so loud just now, why did you suddenly run a way little sister?" Liang Mei's crisp voice sounded from behind her. Amelia ignored her and attacked the plant zombie hiding in a tree.

It is a very useful trick to imitate the life signal of a plant and essential become a plant. If Amelia hadn't practiced the same method hiding from powerful vicious beasts in the forbidden lands all those years ago she would have been fooled.

Seeing the zombie not coming out, Amelia continues to strike until a green light shone healing up the gaping wound Amelia had just dealt a moment ago. "Are you a turtle? Come out Soldier!" Amelia shouted and an aranged roar sounded shaking the nearby trees.

"Don't ignore me!" Liang Mei wanted to strike at Amelia but saw the rapidly healing wounds of an invisible zombie and shut up.

She tried to sense but she couldn't feel the zombies whereabouts at all. But Amelia could?

The zombie came out of hiding and showed his face. Tethered soldier uniform obviously covered in dry blood of its many victims. Vines came out like the many feet of a spider the zombie stood straight with many sharp vines pointing their deadly tip at Amelia and her sister.

The two sisters are now standing side by side watching the zombie with caution. "Cool trick, you look like a plant spider, I want in." Amelia's own vines also came out from her back. Unlike the black and sinister vines filled with the zombie virus, her own are green with sharp wooden tips. She made the tip look like a scorpion's stinger.

Liang Mei felt speechless. "Is this the time to copy tricks?"

"Don't be jealous that you don't have a zombie with your power to teach you new tricks." Amelia shook the many vines and walked forward swaying her hips.

She looked at the zombie that kept firing vines at her. "There is a spider called black widow which bites off it's partner's head and eat him after mating. Lets skip the mating and go straight to you losing your head. Shall we?"

As if the zombie is enraged by her provocation, it's attacks became more powerful and frequent. Amelia played with her vines trying to get the hang of using them as her other arms.

"These make me feel like an octopus rather than a spider. How disappointing." She said so but she went forward and started fighting the zombie again. The many vines intertwined and cut each other the scene became very confusing.

The more Liang Mei watched the more she realized the zombie is being used for practice by Amelia who just gained a new trick. Does this girl think every thing is a joke?

Knowing she is not needed here and Amelia had been ignoring her anyways. She frustratedly went to help kill the zombie around the base. There are now several small wholes in the base wall where random powerful zombies would enter and munch on the soldiers and civilians there.

Liang Mei didn't bother with these and went to the place were many zombies are gathered to show her prowess. She would wave her hands and several stiff zombies would stand still as she has them on a feozen chokehold and then she would wave ice blades cutting off hundreds of zombie heads at once. This scene instantly attracted the attention away from Amelia who is fighting with the high level zombie.

Amelia is having the best time. She even changed the end of the vines to be a man eating plants she saw in the movie at her base. The man eating plant has razor sharp teeth and would bite off a large chunk of the zombie everytime.

She made each vine have small mouths which kept openning and closing biting the zombie everytime she use her vines to bind the zombie in place. The sise of the flower can be adjusted however she wants as long as she has super power.

The zombie's healing abilities are also what made Amelia so brazen, she would take an entire arm and spit it out only to find the zombie with a new arm.

Amelia's eyes sparkled seeing this. It was as if she has finally found someone to play with. She had always wanted to polish her plant combat powers but most people would be affected by the gas from her plant or they are too weak. Now she can finally play nicely she didn't hold back.

The most miserable one is the zombie. Initially when Amelia hadn't been familiar with the multiple vines combat style, it could cut and and scratch some deep wounds but the human is also a plant type. And her body is astonishingly strong.

Amelia has already reached level 7 of the body refinement realm. Her body is a weapon itself. The zombie gradually fell into a disadvantage but because of it's species, it doesn't give up and it doesn't run out of stamina.

Many places on her combat uniform has been bitten off and large cuts could be seen even though the skin under these cuts is white and tender without a scar, it is obvious by looking at the amount of blood around the area that she had bled alot.

Amelia sent out a large open plant mouth to take a bite of the zombie and pulled off its head. She dug out the crystal nuclei and stored i in her space. She looked at the zombie and felt it is a pity he is gone. But there are many zombies she had prepared for the competition before but they were not killed in the end because she had overestimated her armies potential.

"Miss, the boss would like to invite you back." Three men came out of the bushes nearby. She had felt them but let them be since they didn't seem to be malicious but they are not friendly either.
