Doomsday Roulette

Li Qiang wanted to ask something, but seeing that others immediately followed Ye Zhongming, he also kept silent and followed along.

His doubts lasted only a few seconds in his heart. Just as everyone entered the Southern District, the tremors from the ground started to come continuously.

As an evolver, Li Qiang could clearly feel that this tremor was coming from ahead, specifically the direction the team was heading.

“Sandworms are coming!”

Ye Zhongming had a stern expression. While running, he explained to those around him.

“The sandworm’s abilities are very straightforward. Aside from its massive size and strength, its only ability is to quickly dig tunnels underground. The current tremor indicates that they are destroying the foundation of the Southern District's city walls.”

“What?”

Li Qiang exclaimed, “Does that mean that...”

Ye Zhongming nodded, “The foundations of buildings from the peaceful era are not sturdy enough to withstand sandworms. The rocks and dirt filling the gaps between buildings have no solid foundation either. It’s likely they won’t hold up for long before collapsing.”

“Then why are you still...”

Li Qiang didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

Once the city walls collapsed, the thousands of zombies and those terrifying monsters outside would rush in. Relying on just a few people to hold them back was nothing short of a fool's dream!

Charging in like this was no different from seeking death!?

Although others didn’t voice it, they all thought the same. They were just used to following Ye Zhongming’s orders and didn’t bring it up.

“Because we are the only ones in this base who can stop all of this.”

Little Tiger showed no fear and teased Ye Zhongming, “Boss, when did you become so kind-hearted?”

Ye Zhongming laughed heartily and didn’t mind Little Tiger’s remark at all, “Of course, I’m not that kind-hearted. I still need this base for now, so I can’t let it just disappear.”

After a pause and feeling the increasing intensity of the tremors beneath his feet, Ye Zhongming explained, “If the sandworms destroy the foundation, the buildings will collapse. Listen carefully, it’s a collapse. Once the buildings collapse, they will turn into huge ruins. These ruins can still serve to prevent zombies from entering. We just need to kill all the sandworms, and once those annoying bugs are dealt with, we can organize people to reinforce these ruins. This base can still hold.”

Hearing Ye Zhongming say this, everyone felt relieved. Otherwise, anyone facing that sea of corpses would lose all courage.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a loud noise came from ahead. Everyone looked over and saw a section of the city wall, filled with rocks and concrete between buildings, collapsing to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

A dark shadow darted across the ruins, though it was not clearly visible in the smoke.

The collapsed city wall, which had originally been over ten meters high, was now less than half of that height, only resembling two to three stories. Perhaps due to the sudden drop in height, the roars of the zombies outside became much clearer.

The people in the Southern District, who had just regained their calm, panicked once again. This time it was not the confusion of the night but witnessing the collapse of the city wall. These survivors could no longer suppress their fear and ran wildly towards the base!

“Open fire!”

Ye Zhongming issued an icy command, raising his edge of the moon as well.

With the refugees rushing towards them, if they did not stop them, the team would be trapped here. If that happened, the zombies would truly break in.

Those with guns hesitated for a moment, but after Ye Zhongming shouted fiercely again, gunfire rang out.

The panicking crowd immediately split to the sides under the scythe of death, clearing a path for the team.

Ye Zhongming led the charge, directly rushing onto the ruins.

A massive worm was just emerging from behind the ruins. Its gigantic body, over fifteen meters long and two meters wide, made it look like an enlarged centipede.
