Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space Chapter 893 893: Attacked From Both Sides ( 14 )

Constructed with nanotechnology, the communication device was merely the size of a mole. It remained completely inconspicuous even as he morphed into a shadow.

With Qin Luzi's directions, Jian Ziqin dodged the guards and infiltrated the dormitory zones. This time around, workers weren't dispatched to the mine; they were instead confined within the structures.

Though the reason for their confinement remained unknown, the workers were relieved to stay distant from the crystals. Their rations of food and water had been halved, yet the absence of grueling labor allowed their bodies to recover.

Right then, in one of the buildings, Richard Tolstoy sat with several team members huddled in a room corner. The food shortage had drained their initial vigor upon arrival.

"Boss, we're cut off from the outside world. Will those folks honor our deal?" one whispered softly.

To prevent detection, they avoided using General and opted for Boss.

Richard shook his head, responding, "We've had no direct contact with them, so it's uncertain. But Lustin always praised their strength and reliability. Besides, given our predicament, trusting them is our only option."

His team nodded, shutting their eyes to preserve strength. Soon, Richard sensed a poke at his back. Turning around, he spotted a shadowy hand signaling him.

Intrigued, he extended his hand, receiving a mole-sized object in his palm. Noting the gesture once more, he affixed it behind his ear.

The instant he donned the device, the shadow hand blended into his own shadow and vanished. Moments later, a voice emanated from the mole.

"General Tolstoy, this is Jin Xuyan, Captain of the Phantom Team."

Richard's eyes lit up with astonishment. After pausing briefly, he whispered back, "Richard here."

"Captain Jin, my team and I are held in the building alongside the other workers. We can't exit or reach you. What's your strategy? We'll cooperate fully."

Hearing this, Jin Xuyan grinned on the other side. He outlined the plan to Richard, then continued, "We've discovered a secret base beneath the mine. Its underground status is unclear, but it's definitely a military outpost."

"Our main goal is rescuing the workers and getting them out. Your team handles the distraction to draw off the guards. My team takes care of the rest."

Richard furrowed his brow, stating, "Captain Jin, over 5,000 guards protect this base. Even with our diversion, we can't lure them all away."

"No need for all of them—just the dormitory guards will do."

After pondering, he added, "I must brief my team first. Expect my update in thirty minutes."

"Understood."

Once communication ended, Richard shared the plan with his members. They then slipped from the room to rally the others.

While evading patrols, workers spotted their actions, grasping the escape intent. It spread from one individual to a crowd, then across groups.

Within half an hour, most mobile workers readied themselves to trail Richard's team in the breakout.

Unaware of the masses poised for their signal, Richard's group assembled on the dormitory rooftop.

As the sun climbed overhead, a mutant lifted his arms, channeling energy. Instantly, a enormous fireball hurtled toward the adjacent watchtower.

BOOM!

Upon impact, the fireball detonated fiercely. The blast unleashed a powerful shockwave, hurling shards and dust everywhere.

BANG!

The watchtower crumbled, shrouding a 50-meter radius in dense dust. Richard signaled his team with a nod, and they bounded from the roof to a neighboring structure.

Heading for the base's west gate, alarms blared across the site. Quickly, the bulk of guards pursued them.

Beyond the base, the Phantom Team caught the siren wail. Jin Xuyan gave a nod, and Jiao Lizhi promptly opened the space portal.

Unlike Jian Ziqin's stealthy entry, they ported straight into the dormitory sector.

Appearing abruptly, team members surged into buildings, ushering out evacuees. In under five minutes, the majority of workers poured from the structures.

Simultaneously, a massive horde of Matkuna soldiers charged from afar. Spotting them, Du Beiye switched to battle mode and declared, "I will hold them back!"

Her words had scarcely faded when she surged toward the bugs. A swift flick of her wrist transformed her bracelet into a Zweihänder.

Glinting fiercely in the sunlight, the black sword shone as she vaulted into mid-air. Twirling her body, she slashed the blade downward. When it slammed into the ground, a razor-sharp wind blade hurtled at the oncoming bugs.

BOOM!

A profound gash ripped across the earth as a huge swarm of bugs got bisected by the wind blade. The blast hurled nearby bugs tumbling away.

After she unleashed her initial strike, the other members dove into the battle.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Crack! Boom!

Explosions and lightning roared in rapid succession. The Matkuna soldiers found themselves stalled, unable to press on against the members.
