Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 523: Retreating into the Safe Base

Seeing the lightning, it gave her an idea.

She flew above the horse of zombies still rushing forward and located the place where the spontaneous roars that sounded like commands came from.

She realized that the leaders were hiding among the zombies and as long as they were not taken care of, more zombies would keep coming at their command.

Chu looked at the sun that was already setting and realized that the battle had been going on almost the whole day and there was no end in sight.

Even though they had already eradicated more than a million zombies on their side alone, she was aware that they could not compete with zombies when it came to numbers.

She wanted to see if she could buy the survivors time to recuperate as many of them were already collapsing from exhaustion.

Many who died now were because of small mistakes that could have been avoided if they were well rested.

Using her divine sense, she located the three zombie leaders who kept shouting instructions and called out to Ye Xuan.

"Let’s take care of the leaders first then retreat for a rest." She suggested.

"Alright." Ye Xuan also felt his spirit power almost completely depleted and knew that they needed to retreat and recuperate for a while before engaging in another battle, otherwise the losses would be uncountable.

After agreeing on this, Chu Miao teleported to the place one of the leaders was while holding onto Ye Xuan.

She waved her hand and heavy rain came down from above an area of about a hundred meters around the leader.

As soon as the ground was saturated and the zombies soaked, Ye Xuan brought down a bolt of lightning that burned the zombies in that area to a crisp.

They then moved to the next area where the other leader was and did the same thing.

Before the third leader realized what was happening, they ambushed him as well, but this time, they couldn’t manage covering a large area and could only manage a radius of about thirty meters.

However, the leader along with the strongest zombies protecting him perished.

Chu Miao then took Ye Xuan back to the wall and called for the fighters to halt the battle and retreat into the base to rest.

Those in the battlefield didn’t argue and pulled along their injured companions back into the base.

Chu Miao’s message was transmitted across all battlefields, so within five minutes, everyone had retreated back into the base.

She then activated the defensive array and the whole base was enveloped by a protective barrier.

Everyone collapsed to the ground with exhaustion as soon as they were inside the base.

Some had fought for so long that their bodies had become numb. By the time they were retreating, they were just swinging their swords mechanically.

Now that they were in a safe zone, the fatigue finally kicked in and they couldn’t even take a step further.

The ordinary survivors who had been assigned logistics duty came around giving each fighter a cup of water to rehydrate and calm their bodies.

Moreover, this was the water that Chu Miao had supplied, so it was mixed with a small amount of spiritual spring water. Enough to help them recover their strength quickly.

Chu Miao had also exhausted her spiritual energy and needed to cultivate to recover before the zombies that had already reached the wall and were bombarding the protective barrier with attacks or slamming their bodies against the barrier could break through.

The array formation she had made with Ye Xuan was only temporary. Even though it could withstand several full blown attacks from a nascent soul cultivator, it still wouldn’t be able to hold out for the whole night against the assault from so many zombies, some of which were superpowered.

The president had already had people prepare a large number of crystal cores that were piled up in a designated area.

Those with superpowers were instructed to walk over and choose the crystal cores that corresponded with their ability to meditate and recover.

After taking the water mixed with spiritual spring water, the recovery rate of the superpowers increased.

Even the ordinary survivors found themselves recovering their energy and strength faster than before.

The base also distributed steamed buns that had been cooked while they were fighting.

So, not only were they recovering their superpower energy, they were also recovering their physical strength.

In this way, when they entered the battlefield again, they would be energized and the zombies wouldn’t be a threat.

"Are we going to continue the battle tonight?" A leader asked while looking towards the wall where a densely packed horde of Zombies was trying to break through the defensive barrier.

"Little Miao, how long can that barrier hold?" Commander Shen asked as he turned to Chu Miao.

"If the zombies keep going with this momentum, it will be brought down by two in the morning." Chu Miao gave a conservative estimate.

In fact, she was sure that the barrier could hold until three in the morning, but accidents happen, so she had to account for that.

"That means we will still have to fight in the dark. Sigh....we will have more casualties fighting zombies in the dark." A military leader who had come to report about the situation in other areas said when he heard the conversation.

Chu Miao looked at the survivors working hard to recover so that they could go back into the battlefield that they were not sure they would come back from and felt her heart tighten.

This reminded her so much of the soldiers she had watched perish in battlefields in ancient times when she led armies to war.

Now she was experiencing it again.

It was the same in the Immortal Realm when she watched other gods perish from the war with the demons.

Now, she was watching fellow human survivors die as well just to protect their home.

"Not necessarily so." She suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Commander Shen asked hurriedly.
