Apocalypse: Transmigrated General’s Daughter Uses Space to Survive - Chapter 490

Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Building Watchtowers
“You are saying that the zombie could talk?” Surprise was written on everyone’s face in that room.

This was not some fantasy. This was real life and the fact that zombies existed in the first place was already against the human order and heavenly law.

Zombies were basically dead bodies gaining mobility and craving human blood and flesh.

But if they upgraded to having intelligence like real humans, talking like real humans, and even thinking like a living human being, then things would become more complicated.

“Yes, it said, see you soon before it left. I wanted to follow the space fluctuations and find it, but I had just finished engaging in battle with a dozen or so level four zombies.

Those things are strong and they drained a lot of my power in the fight.

I knew that if I chased after it, I wouldn’t be able to win easily and unlike humans, zombies don’t get tired and injuries to them don’t matter.

You have to either chop off its head or take out the crystal core. But fighting an entity on the same level of power while exhausted is suicide.

So, I had to let it go. With the intelligence displayed, I don’t think it was telling me to see me soon for fun.

Those zombies must be planning something and we have to be ready for whatever might happen.” Chu Miao explained her reasoning in detail and everyone there felt that she made sense.

Even though they were still shocked by the knowledge that in less than a year, zombies had gone from being slow, mindless flesh-eating monsters to now having the capacity to think and strategize, they still understood that now wasn’t the time to panic.

After a short silence, Ye Xuan spoke up, “I believe the enemy is planning an attack. And the best place to attack as many humans as possible is the base.

So, the base is probably in danger. We have to prepare for a big battle.”

This statement made everyone in that room a bit scared. That was because they realized that if the zombies were really planning to attack humans and they had developed intelligence, then they would have a strategy for attack.

No matter how immature, it could cause heavy losses to humans.

“If you, being so strong, were almost exhausted just from fighting a dozen zombies, what would we do if thousands attacked the base?” Lei Ying asked, somewhat scared.

“There aren’t that many level four or level five zombies.

If I am not wrong, those zombies were probably small leaders from different zones.

Kind of like City lords or something similar. They just moved to protect their leader because of my surprise attack.

I believe that killing that many has given the zombie army a big blow.

So, it won’t be so easy to gather more level four zombies for the fight.

As long as the stronger zombies aren’t many, then we have a big chance of winning.” Chu Miao didn’t know what changes the zombies had experienced to evolve so fast, but she was sure that their evolution could not completely surpass human progress.

This was the heavenly law.

“How should we prepare for the battle? We do have soldiers, but they are humans too and with the limited supplies we’ve had over the last few months, their bodies are weaker than before.

Even those with superpowers cannot fight for too long.

What can we do about that?” Commander Shen asked, his face almost a cloak of despair.

However, he didn’t let his negative emotions affect the others. He also believed that there would be a miracle.

Hadn’t they witnessed a miracle when the president got out of bed after taking the medicine Chu Miao gave him?

Not only that, but he even awakened a superpower.

So, there was definitely hope for the base.

“First, we should build watch towers. I noticed that there are no watch towers in the base and you depend on the soldiers patrolling on top of the walls to scout.

Even though it’s important to send scouts out to patrol the area near the base, we need a place that is high enough to see a long distance away.

This way, we can see when the enemy is coming and at least have some time to prepare.” Chu Miao remembered the watchtowers in ancient times that the capital of the Wuxin kingdom had.

They were usually built near the city gates. If they could replicate the same idea here, it might help.

“That’s a good idea. That way, we won’t be caught by surprise if those things come.

But what do we need to build the watchtowers?” The president was also very supportive of the idea.

“I believe using logs will be easier and more convenient.

They are easy to assemble and don’t require a very complicated foundation.

Also, using logs is faster than concrete.” Commander Shen suggested thoughtfully.

“That’s true. Then get some soldiers to cut down trees and log them. I also think that one watchtower would probably not be enough and we would need a watchtower in every direction.

So, we need more trees to build at least four watchtowers.” The president added after hearing Commander Shen’s suggestion.

“Alright then, it’s best if we start as soon as possible because we don’t know when those zombies will show up.

Also, about the issue of the soldiers being weak, let’s supply them with drinking water mixed with some herbs to strengthen the body.

I have some of those I found on the mountain before. It will restore the health of those with injuries and eliminate fatigue.

Maybe, you should increase their food potion in the next few days to improve their strength.” Chu Miao wasn’t stingy when it came to giving away the spiritual spring water.

She had an entire stream anyway and wasn’t afraid of it drying up.

Since she couldn’t expose it, she had to use herbs as a cover to strengthen the soldiers in the base and prepare their bodies for battle.
