Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 480: First Battle in C City

It was exhilarating for Murong Yi’s brother to see his older brother kill over twenty zombies with every attack.

Sometimes, the place where many zombies were concentrated would turn to mush like swamp and they would sink to the earth before Murong Yi clenched his hand and the ground would harden again.

He had learned to combine his superpower and spiritual energy in battle.

When not a single zombie was left standing in the vicinity, the team finally had time to breath.

"Even our battle with those rats wasn’t that intense." Lei Ying commented as he flopped to the ground with hard and fast breaths escaping his open lips.

This was their first real battle since they left the ancient battlefield where they had experienced the prowess of ancient beasts.

Moreover, the zombies had indeed become too strong and clever in recent months. They now knew how to organize themselves according to their strength and attack.

They also had leaders who would give instructions and guide them in battle.

Fortunately, the zombies still hadn’t learned the art of defense when fighting, which made killing them easier.

This was a situation, however, that would not last long. At the rate at which the zombies were evolving and mutating, soon, they would start to practice military tactics in battle, and then the real nightmare of the humans would begin.

Chu Miao was hoping that they could kill as many as possible before then to at least reduce their population so that they do not overwhelm them with their numbers in battle.

"Clean up this place." Ye Xuan instructed before turning to Murong Yi who was obviously fidgeting with worry for his brother but didn’t run to the barrier because he hadn’t been given permission.

Even though these people were already retired and at the moment there was no system and military rules to restrict them, they still respected Ye Xuan’s authority and would not act without permission.

Thus, Ye Xuan gave them a go ahead to mingle with the people they had just saved.

Murong Yi and Li Kun ran into the barrier to check on the injuries of their family members.

Since Chu Miao had already provided treatment and even those infected with the zombie virus were fine, the team had already almost recovered their full strength, especially after eating the bread and milk.

"Big brother." Murong Si called softly.

Their family had been worried so much about his brother since the apocalypse began.

Their mother would light incense to their ancestors every few days to pray for his safety and ask for blessings for him.

At first, they could talk to him over the phone, but he later became unreachable due to the collapse of the network.

Without satellite phones, it was impossible to know what was happening in any other part of the country or world.

That was why their family had been living with their hearts in their mouths, not knowing when or if he would return home.

Now that Murong Si saw him, he was overjoyed that tears fell from his eyes.

"Why are you crying like a child? Aren’t I fine?" Murong Yi asked with a deadpan face.

However, he also squatted down and wiped the tears on his brother’s face.

"Aren’t I just so happy to see you?" Murong Si retorted.

The others just looked at the two brothers and sighed. In the apocalypse, it was the ancestors’ great blessings for families that had been separated before the disasters began to reunite.

Now that two families had reunited in the chaos of searching for supplies, it was a thing to celebrate.

"How is everyone else at home?" Murong Yi asked softly.

He was afraid that Commander Shen didn’t know the real situation and maybe more people in his family had succumbed.

Luckily, the answer he got from his younger brother was the same as what the Commander had told him.

"Everyone is fine, except for Auntie Zeiyi. They are just incredibly worried about you." Murong Si replied softly with a melancholic expression.

He liked his auntie the most because she practically raised him when his mother was busy with work and his father was in the military almost throughout the year.

They had the closest relationship, which was why he had been so affected by her death.

"It’s okay. She hated fighting anyway. It would probably make her sad and uncomfortable to see you going out to risk your life and fight zombies everyday.

So, just take it as her avoiding living an uncomfortable life." Well, Murong Yi’s way of comforting people wasn’t great, but at least he had learned to say some comforting words after mingling with so many people from different backgrounds in recent months in the sect.

Murong Si smiled at his brother’s attempt to comfort him, but he felt as if a stone had been lifted from his heart and he felt freer.

After talking a while longer with his brother, Murong Yi stood up and realized that some of the people in this team were either men his age who grew up in the military compound together with him, or total strangers.

Those who knew him stood up and saluted him like they used to do when they were little and called him captain.

The few of them felt a sourness in their hearts when they met again. It was a bitter-sweet feeling, especially because some of the young men and women they used to play with had succumbed to the zombie virus or other causes.

Chu Miao waved her hand and the barrier disappeared.

The people inside could finally walk outside the area they had been restricted in.

Before during the battle, after taking the medicine and eating, most of them had recovered their full strength and had wanted to join the battle, but they found that they couldn’t walk beyond a certain radius.

It was as if there was an invisible wall separating them and those fighting with the zombies.
