Chapter 579 Peng Mingjing Returns
I drifted in a daze for who knows how many days.
Just as Qin Miao was about to lose sight of her memories and reality, and forget her own name, Peng Mingjing returned.
The supernatural energy of "Memory Sea" sorted through Qin Miao's memories while she was in a coma, as if building a giant library in her mind to store her memories.
After being out of contact for more than ten days, Peng Mingjing's supernatural abilities have clearly improved by more than one level.
Qin Miao's chaotic mind finally cleared up for a moment as she awoke from countless worried gazes.
Upon regaining consciousness, Qin Miao immediately sensed the abundant spiritual power within Peng Mingjing's spiritual sea, realizing it was the result of his ability breaking through multiple levels consecutively.
She didn't press Peng Mingjing about what opportunities she had obtained, but thoughtfully inquired about the outcome of her handling of the two 'defected' bases.
Peng Mingjing then shared her memories directly with Qin Miao.
The commander of the "L City Military Region Base" indeed intended to seize territory and establish his own power base. Under Peng Mingjing's swift and decisive actions, he and his cronies have been completely eliminated. With a new commander, the base has re-established contact with headquarters.
The "Baicheng Military Region Base" was not "defected," but rather besieged by zombies.
The entire city of Baicheng had almost fallen, with only the military base holding out. When Peng Mingjing arrived, only the last line of defense remained.
Fortunately, Peng Mingjing was traveling in a flying vehicle, and when he noticed something amiss in the environment, he decisively increased his altitude.
If you were driving, you might not be able to break through the layers of zombie encirclement.
Upon arriving at the Baicheng base, Peng Mingjing quickly analyzed the situation and integrated resources.
Peng Mingjing quickly investigated and found out that the instructions previously issued from "G-1" were not because "Baicheng Base" was unwilling to respond, but because all signals from Baicheng had been cut off or blocked.
Despite repeated investigations by all the professionals at the base, they were still unable to determine whether the cause was human error or something else.
The urban area of Baicheng is not large, so the Kyoto headquarters did not allocate too many firearms resources at the time.
Initially, bombing was effective against the zombie horde, but later, as the zombies gathered and got too close to the base gate, bombing became ineffective.
Not to mention, there are several high-level mutated zombie kings mixed in among them. Their superpowers are very high, including those that interfere with brainwaves, amplify negative emotions such as fear in people's hearts, cause ballistics to deviate, and disable all low-altitude combat weapons.
After losing more than a dozen top-of-the-line military drones, the base completely abandoned the 'air strike' plan.
Fortunately, the commander of Baicheng had a very forward-looking judgment of the situation and transported all the grain stored in the surrounding granaries back to the base early on, so that the tens of thousands of survivors in the entire base would not run out of food in this sudden siege.
The people at the "White City Base" held out to the death, which is how they managed to hold out until Peng Mingjing came to "support" them.
Compared to the indiscriminate use of 'firearms' within the military base, the [space sphere] brought by Peng Mingjing contained a large number of supernatural weapons that Qin Miao had placed inside.
These superpowered weapons are highly targeted and extremely effective against zombies. Most of them can be used directly without worrying about damaging the base's defenses.
Since Peng Mingjing is in a leading position in all military bases, apart from the far-reaching 'coma incident' involving the higher-ups, her personal abilities and past experience are undoubtedly top-notch.
Born into a family with a strong military and political tradition, she displayed remarkable talent from a young age. Through her abilities, she received intensive training from her family, skipping several grades with outstanding results and graduating from a top military academy at the age of 18. In the following decade, she repeatedly achieved remarkable feats and was promoted exceptionally many times.
Her professional title was not earned by accumulating seniority or by simply accumulating years of age. Commanding troops and conducting combat has always been her forte, and her wisdom and resilience are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Not to mention that she still had plenty of resources at the moment.
One general is worth three armies. After three days of fierce fighting, the siege of the "White City Base" was finally lifted.
On that day, when the head of the last high-level mutated zombie king outside the base exploded, the people who had been suffering from mental torment finally saw the dawn of victory. The disheveled soldiers wept with joy, and the survivors who had participated in the battle hugged each other and cried.
The military doctor in charge of emergency medical care was finally relieved. The exhaustion from repeatedly depleting her supernatural abilities suddenly surged back. She closed her eyes and fell backward, but was firmly supported by the female soldier standing closest to her.
Afterwards, Peng Mingjing dispatched military radar drones to patrol the entire city, but apart from the military base, no trace of any living people was found.
Now that the entire White City had fallen, Peng Mingjing decided to go all out and organize a large-scale cleanup of the zombies in the city to prevent them from gathering again and putting the base in a passive situation of being besieged once more.
Thus, with all signals blocked and communication impossible, Peng Mingjing, with his precise control of the battle situation, divided the entire Baicheng into five areas and carried out the clearing operations one by one.
Nine days later, nearly 70% of the zombies in White City had been cleared out, and all the weapons and resources provided by Qin Miao had been exhausted.
At this point, the population of Baicheng had shrunk from 50.65 to 1.
In less than a year since the zombie outbreak, the population has plummeted by 50 times, and the death rate is several times higher than that of the area where "G-1 Base" is located.
The cruelty of the apocalypse is like pitch-black paint, seeping up from the unseen and neglected edges of the game, constantly devouring the few remaining glimmers of light and a path to survival.
Fortunately, there are always people who persevere and refuse to give up.
After the "White City Base" resumed operation, Peng Mingjing handed over all the follow-up matters and did not return to "G-1", but went directly to "Genesis".
She wanted to discuss with Qin Miao many things, such as establishing a teleportation portal for the "White City Base" and repairing its communication signal.
According to statistics from various military bases, the city where the "White City Base" is located has experienced this large-scale clearing operation and is now considered to have the fewest wandering zombies.
This means that White City poses less risk to ordinary survivors and is more suitable than other cities for storing supplies and sheltering survivors.
The only drawback is that White City is too far from the "Genesis Base," making it inconvenient for transporting supplies or providing combat support.
If the portal is established first, everything will be much simpler.
After reading the memories shared by Peng Mingjing, Qin Miao immediately agreed to his proposal to build a teleportation portal. Several people from the "Seven Star Base" took the [Space Sphere] containing weapons and evolution fluid and immediately set off on a military helicopter.
