Chapter 513

With a few punches, he hammered away the skeletons in front, easing the pressure on the battle line. After venting his rage, the number of undead in the vicinity visibly decreased.

The soldiers, weapons raised, took the opportunity to harvest a portion of them, but soon, more undead, fearless of death, swarmed back up.

The burly man retreated into the camp to rest; clearly, such reckless charging took a significant toll on his stamina.

Ye Su asked himself if he could reach this level, perhaps even surpass him, but even so, this man's combat power was not to be underestimated.

As the undead pressed forward again, the soldiers retreated into the camp. Soon, a man holding a short staff walked out. After a simple chant, he gathered many light orbs out of thin air.

Once the light orbs were thrown into the undead, it was like pouring oil on a fire; the undead that made contact were destroyed before they could even react.

However, precisely because of this, the surrounding undead boiled over, attacking the camp frantically. Ye Su guessed that this person must be a mage.

He hadn't expected magic to deal such massive damage to the undead; basically, one touch meant death. Ye Su couldn't help but feel curious—theoretically, with the number of mages in the Beautiful Nation, they shouldn't be retreating step by step.

After watching for a while, Ye Su understood the routine of this camp: let the soldiers fight first, and when the defensive line could no longer hold, send out the ability users or mages to clear the field.

The undead surged like waves, while the camp was like a reef that could loosen at any moment.

Ye Su had already completed half of his mission; he had seen the undead disaster and had seen the ability users and mages. However, tracing their source was proving difficult.

It was clear the laboratory was not on the battlefield, yet the battlefield was the only way Ye Su could make contact with the other side.

Originally, Ye Su thought this was a task that could be completed in the short term. He hadn't expected a problem to arise at the final step, and even the Chairman's intelligence personnel didn't know where these genetic project subjects were being brought from.

Ye Su wanted to wait until the camp in front of him was breached and chaos ensued to blend in. He could appear as an ability user; after all, according to the Chairman's intelligence, most of the experimental subjects were yellow-skinned people like himself.

However, although the camp looked precarious, it just wouldn't break, which left Ye Su feeling somewhat helpless.

After dark, the undead became even more aggressive, their strength at least doubling, which made the situation for the camp, already struggling during the day, even worse.

Ye Su took water and food from his backpack to replenish his stamina. Just as he thought the camp was in imminent danger and he would finally have a chance to sneak in, who would have thought the other side would drop solid fuel on the perimeter.

The fierce flames directly blocked the undead creatures' offensive, and the camp soldiers had a chance to catch their breath. After the fuel on the perimeter burned out, the ability users and mages had also finished resting.

After dawn, the undead were clearly weakened, and the camp guards handled the defense with even greater ease. Ye Su felt somewhat helpless; it seemed he would have to wait another night.

Just then, the sound of gunfire and artillery explosions came from afar, and the camp began to cheer. Ye Su clearly felt their excitement.

As the heavy roar of engines drew closer, a row of armored vehicles drove toward the camp.

The camp forcibly opened a gap in the middle of the undead to let the armored vehicles in. Soon, people came up to move weapons and ammunition.

Soldiers kept jumping off the two vehicles in the middle; clearly, these were troop carriers. Ye Su knew his plan to sneak in had failed; with so many people added to the camp, holding the position would definitely be no problem.

Just as Ye Su was feeling frustrated, a young man who stepped off a vehicle caught his attention. Electric light flashed from the young man's hands from time to time, and he could command lightning as if it were an extension of his own arm without chanting any spells. This was definitely an ability user.

Truly, there is light at the end of the tunnel; these armored vehicles must have contact with the laboratory.
