Chapter 63: Sudden Incident

Northeast, Changbaishan Jidi.

This was one of the eighteen Bases in the Northeast, built right at the foot of Changbaishan, and the only super-Base in the entire Northeast region, with a permanent population of three hundred thousand.

A week ago, the Base's scientists worked day and night and finally overcame the technical challenge of mass-producing weapons and ammunition.

But today, multiple Bases simultaneously detected an anomaly. For more novels, visit ttk. tw — excellent!

The Zombie Groups in several nearby major cities suddenly left the urban areas en masse, madly rushing toward Changbaishan Jidi.

Inside Base headquarters, a middle-aged man, his face full of worry, asked his subordinate in a low voice:

"Have the requests for help all been sent out?"

"Minister, the distress signals have all been sent," the subordinate replied immediately.

"Good. Keep contacting them. Tell them the situation is extremely urgent, and ask the higher-ups to be sure to send more people to support us."

The moment his words fell, a young man burst through the door.

"Bad news! All satellite communications are completely cut off. We've lost all contact with the Central command!"

"What?"

The middle-aged man was shocked and immediately pulled out his satellite phone to check.

Sure enough, there was not a trace of satellite signal; only the Base's internal local network was still usable.

"Activate the long-wave radio immediately! If Central can't reach us, they'll definitely have the long-wave radio on standby too," the middle-aged man said urgently.

"Yes, I'll handle it right away!"

Someone muttered nearby: "The long-wave radio can send messages, but the bandwidth is too small. To transmit 1GB of data, even at the theoretical maximum speed, it would take tens of thousands of years."

Taihangshan, Yanqing Jidi.

This was one of Huaxia's core Bases, surrounded by mountains on three sides and a lake on the fourth, with vast farmlands that fed over two hundred thousand people.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the Base's conference room was so heavy it was suffocating; everyone was staring at a video on the screen.

When the video finished playing, the entire room was dead silent.

"Everyone, you've all seen it. This is the footage captured in the last few seconds before our satellites lost contact. Let's hear your thoughts."

No one spoke; everyone's eyes were fixed on those few seconds of footage replaying over and over.

The footage was from a space perspective, clearly shot by a satellite camera.

In the frame, a figure resembling a human was approaching the satellite at an astonishing speed.

Immediately after, a streak of sword light suddenly shot out, several times faster than the figure itself.

In less than three seconds, the sword light struck the satellite, and the screen instantly went pitch black.

"This... this video is real? It can't be a composite, can it?" someone asked in disbelief.

"I stake my reputation on it — this is absolutely real footage, not a single frame is composited," an elder said in a low voice. "And I can tell you, all 18 of our nation's satellites lost contact one after another on the same day. This is the only one that captured the culprit."

A middle-aged man's face went deathly pale: "This is too outrageous, isn't it? It looks like a person did it, but our satellites are at an altitude of over thirty-six thousand kilometers. Who could fly that high to destroy a satellite?"

"Are only our nation's satellites affected?"

"No, not just us," the elder shook his head. "Satellites in Europe, Russia, and the Americas are also disappearing in batches. Earlier, the Americas questioned whether we did it. I told them our satellites are all gone too..."

Everyone's faces grew even uglier.

"The figure in the video is too blurry; we can't tell which country they're from at all."

"And it probably wasn't just one person, right? For one person to destroy dozens of satellites around the world in a single day is simply unrealistic."

"It's already outrageous enough that a person can fly to outer space tens of thousands of kilometers away, but to precisely find such tiny satellites and destroy them is even more outrageous."

"The figure in the footage is indeed humanoid, but the attack it launched looks like a sword — that's just too strange."

"Could it be an extremely powerful Ability User? But this ability is exaggeratedly strong — actually flying that high..."

"Everyone, the most critical question now is: what exactly is his purpose in destroying satellites all over the world?"

At these words, the entire room fell into thought again; no one could figure out the logic behind it.

Just as everyone was at a loss, another middle-aged man hurried in.

"Everyone, something big has happened!"

"What is it?" everyone looked up immediately.

"The Ability User squad sent to support Changbaishan Jidi just sent a telegram saying they were attacked by several extremely powerful Ability Users who can fly in the Liaoxi Zoulang. Our Ability Users were no match at all and have already been scattered and killed!"

"What?!"

The whole room erupted; everyone was stunned.

"Could it be the same people who destroyed the satellites?" someone guessed.

"Very likely."

"But what are they after? Just to stop us from supporting Changbaishan Jidi?"

At this moment, another middle-aged man spoke slowly: "Everyone, I have a guess."

All eyes instantly focused on him.

"You've all read the report sent over from Fubei Base a few days ago, right?"

"We've read it. What does this have to do with Fubei Base?"

The middle-aged man said in a low voice: "The intelligence from Fubei Base states it very clearly. Zombie Kings can fly. I suspect that this attack on Changbaishan Jidi is very likely the joint work of Zombie Kings from various regions."

Everyone drew a sharp breath.

"But why are they so determined to target Changbaishan Jidi?"

"The reason is simple," the middle-aged man said heavily. "The scientists at Changbaishan Base have just broken through the challenge of mass-producing weapons and equipment. Once humanity achieves the industrialization of making guns and cannons, it won't be long before they can completely wipe out the Sangshi and regain control of the world. The Zombie Kings absolutely don't want to see that day come."

Just then, a middle-aged man's phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the call, listened for a few seconds, and his face changed drastically.

"What? Are you sure?... Alright, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at everyone, his voice trembling:

"Just now the secretary notified me — the people sent to Fubei Base to make contact with the Zombie King have sent back news. That Zombie King at Fubei has recovered its human memories from when it was alive, and all Zombie King traits have completely vanished. It looks as if it has fully turned back into a normal person."

"What?! A Zombie King can recover its memories? And even turn back into a human?!"

The entire room exploded. Everyone was so shocked they stood up.

"I get it now! I finally understand why they suddenly launched such a fierce attack on Changbaishan Jidi!"

Someone cried out, losing their voice, "It must be that a Zombie King recovered its memories, turned back into a human, and snuck into a human base, learning about Changbaishan Jidi's mass-production of weapons!"

"Damn it! We never should have made Changbaishan Jidi's results public in the first place. We originally did it thinking it would boost civilian morale, but now the Zombie Kings know about it…"

"There's no point saying that now. The question is, what should we do? It's obvious the Zombie Kings have already united, and their strength… it's far too powerful…"

A Zombie King can fly up into outer space tens of thousands of kilometers high — such strength is truly terrifying.

Just when everyone was in utter shock.

Suddenly, a figure radiating golden light all over its body smashed straight through the conference room window and appeared before everyone.
