Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 509: Digging Trenches

"By others I assume you mean the so-called mutated plants that eat zombies but avoid humans, right?" The older gentleman who seemed to have a problem with the president asked scornfully.

Even though Ye Xuan didn’t like how the old man talked to him, he still replied.

"Yes." His answer was cut without any unnecessary explanations.

It could be seen that he couldn’t be bothered with him.

"What kind of attitude is that?" The old man asked grumpily with displeasure written all over his old and wrinkled face.

Some of the other leaders ignored him, even if they didn’t agree with the way Ye Xuan treated them because they knew where they stood.

Others, like the middle-aged man who had been talking closely to Commander Shen couldn’t hold back and shot back at the old man.

"You need to understand your own weight first. Major Ye is helping our base, he doesn’t owe us anything and if he wanted, he could just leave without doing anything.

So, learn to be grateful."

It was a very uncomfortable fact, but it was the truth.

Ye Xuan and his team had only stayed in the base for so long because they wanted to help and they chose to do so, not because they were obligated to do it.

"Alright, let’s go up the wall to observe the situation outside.

Maybe we can find another way to protect the base." The president didn’t want the people who supported the base to start a war between the factions on the surface.

Even though they had been fighting for a long time, they had always done so in secret and never let the heat surface.

He was aware that if that thin layer of paper was removed, then things in the base would become too chaotic to handle, so he preferred to keep the superficial peace.

The president used his newly-acquired superpower to shift gravity and levitate his body all the way to the top of the wall.

The wall of the base was nearly ten meters tall. The height had been increased after the floods to protect the people inside.

It was so high to prevent zombies from climbing inside.

Although now that zombies had developed intelligence, they might think about climbing the wall too.

Seeing the president use his superpower for the first time, apart from Ye Xuan, Commander Shen, and the beautiful middle-aged woman who had been in the room when he awakened the superpower, the others were shocked.

Everyone was aware that the president could still have so much power because of his daughter’s superpower.

She had strength-type ability and one punch from her could crumble a wall.

So, many people avoided making a move on him. But they hadn’t expected that he could also awaken a superpower after getting sick and almost dying.

"Since when did the president have a superpower?" The old grumpy man asked no one in particular.

"No idea." Someone beside him replied.

"It was a blessing in disguise. The illness the president suffered from triggered a superpower and when he got better, it awakened." The middle-aged woman explained the Genesis of the ability.

"Wow! So getting sick can now get people superpowers?" Another leader marveled when he heard the explanation.

"Didn’t everyone get their abilities the same way? The mass fever that caused many people to mutate into zombies was also the one that caused others to awaken superpowers." Another one chipped in.

"Are you guys done? How are we going to get up there?" Commander Shen couldn’t keep listening to their nonsense and asked to change the topic.

"That’s quite challenging. My old bones cannot climb that high." The grumpy old man complained.

Ye Xuan seemed to figure out their dilemma and used spiritual energy to wrap around them all before lifting them to the top of the wall.

This was the first time most of them had experienced something like that.

It was an uncontrollable act where they were pulled to the top of the wall and could not even resist.

It was at that moment that the leaders understood just how strong Ye Xuan was.

Those with ulterior motives quickly erased them and became honest.

"Are the small plants in the distance the ones Little Miao said could swallow zombies without giving them a chance to fight back?" The president had also begun addressing Chu Miao more intimately.

He saw her as a daughter just like his Yu Wane’r, so he treated her like a child too.

"It should be. She will be back soon with some test subjects to test the effectiveness." Ye Xuan replied patiently.

"Those plants are so small, they don’t look like they could swallow a rabbit let alone a zombie." A middle-aged leader commented, not out of contempt but just stating facts.

"I trust Miaoer. She wouldn’t make up something like that." Ye Xuan defended his girlfriend immediately.

"Hahahahaaa....no one is questioning your girlfriend. They are just making an observation." Commander Shen was nearly laughing himself off the wall when he saw how seriously Ye Xuan defended his little girlfriend.

Ye Xuan pretended not to hear anything and continued to observe the area near the wall of the base.

"What are you looking for? You seem so engrossed." The president asked, moving a few steps closer to Ye Xuan. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

We need to get earth superpowers users to help dig trenches near the wall. It should go around the entire base and be wide enough to hold many zombies and deep enough to stop them from escaping in a short time." Ye Xuan suddenly said.

This was something he had thought about after seeing the terrain outside the base.

"Are we going to engage in gorilla warfare?" Commander Shen asked seriously.

When it came to issues related to the military, he always took them seriously.

"Something like that. Just like we are planning to take advantage of the plants here, we can take advantage of the environment as well.

Digging trenches will help us slow down the zombies that get close and we can also use the trenches as graves.

Pour gasoline or something on the zombies as soon as they fall in and light them up before they reach the wall." Ye Xuan explained his thinking to the leaders who nodded their heads repeatedly.
