Maybe she needs help too.

Rong Xiao, who had already started moving, did not stop. Her body was adjusted to the limit in mid-air. She suddenly retreated quickly, using the wall behind her for leverage. The knife in her hand killed the zombie that Ling Xi was dragging in an instant as it spun.

The zombies attacking from both sides crashed into the car in mid-air. Rong Xiao used them as pedals and stepped on them. His body had already jumped over the head of the big monster.

As if it had never seen such a scene before, the big monster's calm and motionless body became a little panicked. It quickly stepped back and quickly blocked the blade with its palm.

Without any extra time, Rong Xiao's knife had already reached the front and directly chopped off one of its hands.

The enraged monster roared, grabbed Ling Xi, who was closest to him, and fiercely stuffed her towards his mouth.

The superpowers haven't recovered yet.

The body seemed to be wrapped and pulled by countless invisible forces, so when Rong Xiao tried to use his supernatural powers, he felt a strong and clear sense of restraint in his body.

Superpowers are the most powerful weapons that everyone relies on to attack after the end of the world.

For Rong Xiao, superpowers also gave her greater power and strength.

but……

Lei Chao once said that when everyone loses their superpowers, everyone will be at the same starting point.

The one who can fight with real strength is the strongest in the apocalypse.

Rong Xiao's heart was as calm as a frozen lake. The loss of her supernatural powers could not stop her at all. She wanted to become the strongest in the apocalypse, so she was destined to be in the current situation.

Even so, she will never lose!

To deal with the extremely fast mutated zombies, Rong Xiao has to keep dodging and jumping, and she has an advantage in mid-air.

After a previous fight and some testing, Rong Xiao discovered that those mutant zombies had no control over their bodies after jumping into the air.

To put it simply, they cannot adjust their bodies and inertial direction in mid-air.

But Rong Xiao, who can adjust his body control to the limit, can change his state and attack direction at any time.

Rong Xiao, who seemed to be in a hurry to save Ling Xi, seemed to have ignored his own danger when he jumped into the air and let several other zombies pounce on him.

When those mutant zombies pounced into the air, Rong Xiao sneered and suddenly twisted his body. Instead of pulling Ling Xi, he stepped on the chandelier hanging on the ceiling and lightly went behind the big monster.

The knife in Rong Xiao's hand was already ready, and the cold light instantly reached the back of the monster's neck.

It was not until the last moment that the big monster realized Rong Xiao's intention, but it was too late to protect the back of his neck with his hands, not to mention that his only remaining hand was still pulling Ling Xi.

The sharp blade instantly pierced through his neck from left to right. At that moment, Rong Xiao felt his body suddenly become much more relaxed.

The blood sprayed in the air seemed to have life. It condensed together and was thrown away like a blood ball.

Ling Xi felt the claws gripping her loosen, and subconsciously tried her supernatural power. She exclaimed in surprise, "My supernatural power has returned!"

The others who were lying weakly on the ground got up and joined the counterattack.

Several extremely fast mutant zombies that had just landed had no time to launch another attack when suddenly a cold air blew through the air and they all fell to the ground.

The people at the back door rushed into the supermarket, but when they saw the huge mutant monster lying on the ground, they didn't have time to be shocked.

Tian Yichuan raised the weapon in his hand and said, "There are more of those fast-moving mutant zombies than we imagined. There are still many hiding around, and they are all coming this way."

"It doesn't matter. Our abilities have been restored. There's nothing to be afraid of." Someone in the crowd stood up. Rong Xiao recognized him as the captain of Nie Fusi's team, the bald guy.

"That's not right, Captain..." The teammate behind the bald man said weakly, "The superpower is gone again!"

The bald man who had just straightened up immediately retreated, curled up like a shrimp and said nothing, trying his best to reduce his presence.

Ling Xi wiped her face and stood next to Rong Xiao: "It's this larger monster that made the superpower ineffective, right? Just like the mutant rat we encountered in front of the villa before."

"Yes, there should be one more." Rong Xiao looked in the direction of the exit and explained.

"This guy..." Brother Quan was seriously injured. He wanted to let the big monster go, but suddenly he felt that the face looked familiar. "He seems to be from Team 7."

"What?! Team 7?"

The bald man was also shocked.

When Team 7 was mentioned, most of the people present changed their expressions.

This incident caused a big stir back then. At that time, the safe zone had not yet formed a mature operating mechanism. People with and without superpowers would be divided into action teams, and would go out from time to time to look for supplies that were not available in the safe zone.

Team 7 was assigned a person without special abilities who was thin and could not lift anything with his hands or shoulders.

During one mission, this person without superpowers was in danger. Everyone in the team agreed that he was not worth saving and simply abandoned him in the pile of zombies.

He tried desperately to survive and finally climbed onto the street lamp. Without being injured or bitten, he wanted to wait for his companions to rescue him.

Even if... even if it gives him a little hope of survival.

But his hopes were completely shattered by the sight of his teammates walking away, and no one knew what happened to him afterwards.

After Team 7 returned, they did not report the situation truthfully. They just said that he was attacked to death by zombies, and the matter was left unresolved.

Almost two months later, when Team 7 went out on another mission, they encountered some unknown situation and were completely wiped out. The only one who was still alive told the truth of what happened that year.

Later, that area was designated as a restricted area by the security zone, and no team was allowed to go there.

Who would have thought that after the abandoned person turned into a conscious mutant zombie, he created other mutant zombies everywhere and turned them into his own legion.

"If he's conscious... he's subconsciously wanting revenge on those who came out of the safe zone, right?" The bald man weakly avoided it, rolling his eyes nervously.

"Hey, are you all okay?" Some of the mutated zombies at the entrance were also eliminated. Shangguan Yu and Yan Jue brought people to the door and saw that everyone was standing there safely. They signaled them to go out quickly.

Rong Xiao quickly told the people outside about Team 7. When the others heard it, their expressions suddenly became serious.

Shangguan Yu glanced at the pitch-black interior of the supermarket and proposed a chilling hypothesis: "Perhaps it was his subconscious hatred that allowed you to survive for another night. He wanted to see if leaving you alive would attract more Safe Zone operatives... He wanted to kill, to seek even bloodier and more brutal killing and revenge."

Shangguan Huai healed the injured while running: "Hurry up and leave, the other one should be nearby."

The captain of each team quickly counted the number of people, and after confirming that the number was correct, they split up into small groups to act again.

Qin Zhe returned to the team, and Hongmao also returned to the team, and the number of rescue team members was adjusted back to 12.

Except for Long Qingyu, everyone else gathered together.

"It's too quiet, something's not right." Shangguan Yu looked left and right, and felt that the surroundings seemed to be the calm before the storm.

The current calm and smoothness seems more like something big is brewing.

The four teams kept a certain distance and rushed towards the parking place. When they passed a low building, the wall of the second floor next to it collapsed, and a huge figure fell from the sky.

Rong Xiao raised his hand and pushed the person in the shadow away. The dark shadow fell heavily to the ground, and even the ground shook.

It is similar to the previous large mutant zombie, but its size is even more weird and terrifying.

Its body muscles bulged strangely, as if it had been forcibly raised. Its skin was covered with black blood vessels and fine black lines. Its eyes were bloodshot, but its pupils were white.

Rustle...

Sounds were also coming from all corners around. One after another, the mutated speed zombies poked their heads out and made sounds calling for their own kind.

"Knock, we're surrounded!" The bald man quickly raised his weapon to his chest and was on guard.

"Kill the big one first!!" someone shouted, "It must be the one that made the supernatural power ineffective."

"Then go ahead." Someone in the crowd couldn't help but retort.

The speed zombies assumed a hunting posture, not giving them a chance to breathe, and rushed over quickly with their powerful hind legs, pouncing on any target they chose.

The four groups immediately separated to avoid being surrounded by them.

Rong Xiao first set his target on the large mutant zombie.

She tightened her weapon, but before she could make a move, Yan Jue suddenly held her shoulder.

"Xiaoxiao, are you okay?" Yan Jue's hand suddenly grasped her wrist.

Only then did Rong Xiao realize that his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

It's not because of emotions or fear, it's more like the body is out of control and abnormalities occur uncontrollably.

But at this critical moment of life and death, even though her body became a little unfamiliar, Rong Xiao knew very well that she and the others had no way out.

Gripping the sword tightly in his hand, Rong Xiao turned his head and smiled at Yan Jue: "Maybe you're a little tired, that's normal. Be careful."

After saying that, she broke free from his grip and rushed towards the side of the large mutant zombie without hesitation.

Yan Jue didn't move, as if the danger and fighting around him had nothing to do with him.

He only knew—

He knew Rong Xiao very well.

There must be something wrong with her now.

Whether it was her speed, her trembling arms, the strength of her jumping body... those advantages that once made her so powerful that she had no rivals seemed to have decreased to varying degrees.

Perhaps it was because his starting point was too high. Even though something happened to Rong Xiao's body, no one seemed to notice it except him.

The large mutant zombie was tall, but its movement speed was not slow at all. It seemed to have guessed that Rong Xiao would attack its neck, so it raised its hand in advance and blocked Rong Xiao's attack route.

Rong Xiao quickly determined that his chances of success were extremely low, so he didn't force it. Instead, he stepped on his hand, flipped into the air, and jumped directly onto the handrail of the platform on the second floor.

Yan Jue quickly changed the bullets, stared at the monster's head, and regardless of all the dangers around him, he quickly aimed and fired.

But all the bullets hit the monster's covered palms, as if there was no pain at all. As long as the head was not destroyed, there was no point.

Looking at the situation below, Rong Xiao felt more and more tired.

The other speed zombies are too agile, and without their special powers, they have to rely on weapons and guns to deal with them, so it is difficult for the people in those teams to have an absolute advantage.

"Ahhh... Help!" Red Hair cried and tried to run, but the zombie was too fast and caught up with him in just a few seconds.

Originally, he and Shangguan Huai were standing one in front and one behind, one guarding the front and the other looking after the rear.

As the red-haired man ran away, Shangguan Huai's back was exposed.

Shangguan Yu caught a glimpse of this distracted moment, and his brows twitched wildly: "Brother! Behind me!"

Seeing that the zombie had already jumped behind Shangguan Huai, he didn't even turn his head. He quickly turned the knife in his hand over his shoulder and stabbed it back into the head of the zombie.

The zombie's body suddenly stiffened, and Shangguan Huai threw it back to the ground.

"I remember what you said," Shangguan Huai raised his eyebrows proudly, "That guy is unreliable. I don't really expect him to protect my back."

Red Hair stumbled around, his hands shaking, and he had lost his weapon.

The handle of the knife was broken and there were no other weapons nearby. Red Hair could not think of any other way but to run.

Rong Xiao took a deep breath, stepped on the handrail and jumped down from mid-air, kicked him to the side, and killed the zombies chasing him with a knife.

Just when we had dealt with this, the red-haired cat was targeted by another one that came over.

"Save me, save me!" Red Hair cried miserably, his legs so weak that he almost had no strength left.

But the zombie didn't feel tired at all, and its chasing speed didn't slow down at all. Instead, it chased more and more vigorously.

Seeing Rong Xiao didn't come, Red Hair couldn't care less about anything else and could only yell and scream: "Big Brother, I was wrong, save me, wuwuwu, I was wrong before!! Save me, ah ah ah! "

In order to save his life, the red-haired man didn't even care about his face and slid to his knees in excitement.

Just when he felt that the god of death was waving at him, a cold light cut through the space and silently pierced into the zombie's head.

There was a bloody hole right between the zombie's eyebrows.

Long Qingyu's face flashed by from a high position, and the muzzle of the gun was adjusted. Another bloody hole appeared in the middle of the forehead of another mutant zombie.

Red Hair finally got up from the ground, his heart pounding wildly.

This is too scary...

At such a long distance, he shot one zombie at a time, and with quick aim, two consecutive shots hit the zombies right in the middle of their eyebrows.

He always hits the ten rings and never misses.

The danger from the red-haired guy was resolved, and Rong Xiao turned his attention back to the huge mutant zombie.

Yan Jue kept adjusting his position to aim at his head, but the big guy seemed to know their purpose, and quickly followed the pace of Yan Jue and Rong Xiao to adjust and retreat, and would never let them be in front of or behind or on the left or right of the body.

Swish!

Two consecutive shots were fired, and the bullets quickly hit the head of a nearby mutant zombie.

Brother Quan was startled and thought someone was lying in ambush nearby.

Ling Xi, who was swinging his weapon to defend himself, calmed down: "It's okay, it's Brother Long. He has excellent marksmanship. Even if you roll with the zombies, he can still hit the target with one shot."

This... is it so cool!

Brother Quan looked up and couldn't find where the bullet came from. He could only take care of the danger in front of him first.

Rong Xiao and Yan Jue tried to cooperate a few more times and found that although the monster was large in size, it was very fast and there were other fast zombies around to interfere with it, so it was difficult to kill it instantly.

The obvious feeling of physical fatigue came over me in waves.

Rong Xiao knew that she had to hurry.

She knew her physical condition better than anyone else. If she delayed any further, her physical condition would probably get worse.

Shangguan Yu was helping Shangguan Huai deal with the speed zombies, and the others were also busy with their own affairs.

Rong Xiao has no way out. She cannot rely on others and must use her own brain to think of a solution.

The reflection from the high glass window flickered, and when Rong Xiao looked up, he saw Long Qingyu aiming and shooting downwards.

With his superb marksmanship, two more mutant zombies fell down. The number of mutant zombies he killed was probably no less than 10.

The reflective glass was like a clear ray of light shining into Rong Xiao's thoughts. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and a plan came to his mind.

Rong Xiao looked at Yan Jue and signaled to the big monster with his eyes.

There was no need for verbal communication, Yan Jue understood immediately, and went around to a position opposite to Long Qingyu's direction, pretending to find an opportunity to deal with the big zombie, and forced it back little by little to a closer range to Long Qingyu.

Rong Xiao was behind the monster. He deliberately jumped onto a billboard nearby and gestured in the direction of Long Qingyu.

A hand stretched out from the reflective window and made an OK gesture to her.

Silent gestures and eye contact seemed to connect the thoughts of the three people together.

Yan Jue continued to use his gun to force the big guy to retreat over there. When the distance was almost right, he deliberately made an obvious gesture, and Long Qingyu on the high ground immediately cooperated and fired.

But the bullet missed the big guy's head and was caught by his palm again.

As if he had figured out where the dangers that could kill him were lurking, the big guy took on all the possible dangers that could kill him with his hands.

Zombies are scary enough, and now that they have consciousness, they become even more difficult to deal with.

The others spent all their energy dealing with the speed zombies, and no one had the time to help Rong Xiao deal with the big guy.

But she already had a plan and didn't need anyone else to help. Everything was going according to plan.

Pretending that there was no way out, Yan Jue fired a few blank shots and then took out the bullets to reload.

At this time, Long Qingyu deliberately aimed at the back of the monster's head from a high place and continued to shoot.

The big guy roared angrily and swung his arms to grab Yan Jue's head while he was changing bullets.

The arm swept through the air, bringing up a strong wind. At the same time, a white light flashed, and a figure at an extremely fast speed leaped up from the side and cut off the big guy's arm with one knife.

Rong Xiao didn't even try to dodge and swung the knife directly at its neck.

The big guy wanted to use his other hand to block, but just as he was about to move, Long Qingyu, who was on the high ground, had already moved to the second floor and started firing continuously with his left and right hands.

Every gun was aimed at its head, and every bullet hit its target, but it blocked the bullets with its palms and took them all.

Rong Xiao, who had just broken the big guy's hand, arrogantly stepped on its heart, flipped his body in the air, and stabbed his hand in the opposite direction towards its forehead.

The big guy who tried to struggle suddenly trembled and fell heavily to the ground like a knocked-down statue.

The crowd who were still trembling with the speed zombies looked at them in surprise, and saw Rong Xiao stepping on the big block's heart, pulling out the knife, and once again raised the knife to separate the head and body, and then finished off the big block to prevent future troubles.

"The superpowers have been restored!" Someone shouted, and immediately the breathless team regained their fighting spirit.

For a moment, all kinds of supernatural powers appeared in the square, dazzling the eyes.

The situation that was just fiercely fought, after the superpower returned, the superpower user instantly gained the advantage and easily wiped out those speed zombies.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, the psychic who was trembling with fear just now suddenly regained a sense of security.

Some people even suggested that they should repack the supplies they had found before leaving.

However, every time someone offered an idea, they would first look at Rong Xiao. In the end... almost everyone stared at Rong Xiao, as if waiting for her to speak.

After all, everyone present today has witnessed how terrifying Rong Xiao is.

Even when the superpower fails, you can still turn the tide and turn the disadvantage into an advantage.

Especially when facing such terrifying mutated zombies, she can still attack fearlessly. Rong Xiao's strength lies not only in her skills, but also in her courage that they can't even dream of.

"Let's do it," Rong Xiao thought for a moment and said, "The danger should have been resolved. If you've already found some supplies, leave them with Sister Xi...with the spatial ability user."

However, this time they no longer advocated separate actions. The four teams gathered together and quickly put the things to the space ability user. They then found the car that had driven over before and drove over to meet up with Rong Xiao and the others.

Only two people were left in the car, and the rest were concentrated in the rescue team's car.

It was already dark, and the convoy drove back in the darkness.

I originally thought that I had no chance of going back alive, but now I am finally on the bus back to the safe zone. Some people shed tears of excitement on the way.

The bald man in the baseball cap who had been so arrogant before didn't say anything. His hat tilted to one side, exposing his head in a messy way, and he was in no mood to help himself.

Seeing how silent the car was, how everyone was huddled together and not talking, it felt rather oppressive. Brother Quan adjusted his sitting position and said to Rong Xiao and the others across from him with a smile, "Thank you. I know you came here voluntarily. It's such a dangerous situation... and you're still willing to come and save us. Thank you."

"Brother Quan, please stop being so polite," Liu Lanxin and Fan Yiye smiled and waved their hands at the same time, "You saved us before, and we're just repaying you. If it weren't for you, we would have died long ago."

"There's no need to remember things that happened so long ago. We should all live well."

"No, I must remember it. I must remember it well," Zhu Yulu interrupted Brother Quan and looked at the rescue team across from her with moist eyes. "I will remember this day well. I will remember how I saw hope in the most desperate moment."

After saying that, Zhu Yulu suddenly burst into tears and sobbed on Lingxi's shoulder.

The eyes of the others also became moist, and they glanced over from the corner of their eyes from time to time, as if influenced by Zhu Yulu's words, and they also wanted to take a good look at what the people who came to rescue them looked like.

"You...it turns out you really don't use superpowers," the red-haired man sitting opposite Rong Xiao, hugging his legs, boldly approached him and said, "You're so powerful, is it all the result of training?"

Yan Jue knew what he was talking about and rolled his eyes at the red-haired guy: "Do you think they are all like you? You don't work hard during training and only rely on your supernatural powers?"

In the past, the red-haired man would have definitely gotten angry and retorted without any hesitation.

Not only him, but others around him would probably refute it.

But now, no one dared to speak. They all lowered their heads, rubbed their fingers guiltily, stared at the ground and said nothing.

"Superpowers are powerful and can indeed help us a lot," Rong Xiao rested his chin on his knees, his head bouncing gently as he spoke, like a happy little mushroom. "But, humans don't originally have superpowers, right? What if one day, superpowers disappear? True strength shouldn't rely on something that could disappear at any time."

The tone of his voice was joking, not serious, nor like life guidance, but it was like a slap in the face, causing many silent people to feel an indescribable strange feeling.

Yes, if there was no apocalypse, they wouldn’t have superpowers.

If one day the super powers disappeared, would they be unable to deal with the dangers around them without relying on them?

Rong Xiao's words pulled them out of the abyss of escape from the possibility that they never wanted to think about, nor dared to think about.

Throw it under the sun to dry.

"Xiaoxiao, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Yan Jue felt that she had no strength to speak. When her head rested on her knees, her eyes seemed to want to close several times.

He spoke slowly, not deliberately prolonging his words, as if he was extremely tired and exhausted, and his words were murmured in his mouth.

"No, I'm just a little tired." After saying that, Rong Xiao squinted his eyes and couldn't help yawning.

Ling Xi took out some food from the space and handed it to Rong Xiao: "You must be tired from killing zombies. Eat something quickly."

"Thank you, Sister Xi," Rong Xiao didn't answer. He lifted his head from his knees and leaned against the partition behind him, his eyes narrowed into slits. "I'm very sleepy. I want to sleep for a while..."

Less than two seconds after he finished speaking, Rong Xiao began to breathe evenly, the kind of breathing sounds one would hear when sleeping.

Ling Xi's hand holding the food froze, and she looked at Tian Yichuang and Shangguan Huai with some surprise.

Normally, Rong Xiao would be full of energy when talking about food, and I have never heard her say that she was tired or sleepy.

Every time others were about to fall apart, she was still full of energy, as if killing zombies could not consume her physical strength.

But just now, Lingxi heard Rong Xiao say for the first time that he was tired and sleepy.

It was like something shocking and worrying, making her feel inexplicably confused.

Yan Jue glanced at the other people who were looking over, smiled nonchalantly, and pushed Rong Xiao's head, which was bouncing on the baffle, onto his shoulder.

He deliberately lowered his body so that Rong Xiao could lean more comfortably.

"It's normal for Xiaoxiao to be tired," Yan Jue smiled and patted Rong Xiao's shoulder gently, as if he was coaxing a child to sleep. "If anyone of you had to kill so many zombies, especially two big ones, you'd probably be unable to even walk, right?"

The others who had sensed the subtle atmosphere felt that what he said made sense, and immediately became less nervous and went to join in the fun with Rong Xiao.

Except for Fan Yiye, Shangguan Yu and Qin Zhe, everyone else also leaned against the partition and closed their eyes to rest.

Fan Yiye thought of Rong Xiao’s scratched hand and glanced at Qin Zhe secretly.

If this matter were to be known by others and reported to the safe zone, the best outcome would be to lock Rong Xiao up and conduct a series of studies and inspections.

The worst outcome -

She couldn't even go back to the safe zone and was directly kicked out of that safe and comfortable paradise.

When they thought of this possibility, Fan Yiye and Qin Zhe couldn't bear it. It was obvious that Rong Xiao had worked hard to rescue so many people, and her contribution was the greatest.

What if he can’t go back because of his physical condition... wouldn’t he and Qin Zhe become sinners?

but……

But she was indeed captured by zombies.

Could it be that because of the special characteristics of her body, the mutation is not so fast?

If she mutates after returning to the safe zone, it will definitely disrupt the safe zone that has been preserved with great difficulty.

After witnessing Rong Xiao's strength, Fan Yiye knew clearly that if she mutated, it would definitely be an irreversible disaster.

Rong Xiao's skin looked normal, just a little pale. His body did not get excited and twitching like other people who mutated, nor did he roll on the ground uncontrollably.

On the contrary, she looked more like a sleeping princess, with an unconcealable fatigue between her eyebrows and eyes.

After a few hours' drive, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything, with only two rows of headlights paving the way.

It was not until we reached the gate of the safe zone that we saw two powerful searchlights constantly rotating around.

When I heard movement at the gate, a head flickered in the inspection window high above, and faint excited shouts were heard.

Fan Yiye swallowed and looked at Qin Zhe again, as if he didn't know what to do. Qin Zhe immediately looked away, as if he didn't intend to report the matter.

Finally, Fan Yiye turned his head helplessly and accidentally bumped into Shangguan Yu's sight.

I don't know when he started staring at me, and there was an unfriendly warning in his eyes.

No need to say much, Fan Yiye also knew what that meant.

Shangguan Yu looked at him and made him feel very uncomfortable. Fan Yiye immediately looked away and pretended nothing had happened.

As a result, before he could steady his shaking body from the inertia of braking, he found Yan Jue staring at him diagonally opposite him.

He wasn't familiar with the man, but from the time they met until now, he had always behaved very politely and gently, and seemed like someone who was easy to talk to.

But at this moment, Fan Yiye read a kind of murderous warning in Yan Jue's eyes.

It seemed that if he spoke nonsense or made any deliberate move, the owner of those eyes would twist his head off without hesitation.

The car wobbled into the first gate and stopped.

After clearing the zombies outside, the main gate closed and a small metal door in the corner opened, and several fully armed men walked out.

"Xiaoxiao, we're here." Yan Jue patted her shoulder gently. Rong Xiao rubbed her eyes drowsily, as if she had not woken up yet.

She stood up yawning and jumped out of the car with her tired body. She looked just simply tired.

Fan Yiye and Qin Zhe had been looking towards Rong Xiao. After noticing Yan Jue's warning gaze, they immediately withdrew their gaze, ran to the front of the inspection team in three or two steps, and deliberately kept a distance from Yan Jue.

The inspection went smoothly and everyone passed it successfully. When counting the supplies, each team took out a lot of large equipment and some simple supplies that were taken away by the way.

There are a lot of medical equipment and machines used to produce something unknown.

It was split into several small ones and all were placed in the hands of the space ability user.

Upon hearing that the team had returned, the general manager appeared, looked at the supplies they had brought back, and whispered a few words to the secretary beside him. The secretary nodded quickly and left.

"I'm glad to see everyone back safely," the general manager said, glancing at Rong Xiao. "We'll be documenting the details of this operation tomorrow. Everyone, go home and rest first, and then meet in Conference Room 90 at 9 a.m. tomorrow."

"clear."

Everyone was exhausted, even Rong Xiao. He kept yawning while standing and blinked his eyes repeatedly before he could barely muster up energy.

When the disbandment was announced, Fan Yiye, who had walked a few steps to the other end, thought of something and turned back to call Yan Jue.

"Xiaoxiao, can you wait for me for a while?" Yan Jue called her worriedly.

"But I'm so sleepy..." Rong Xiao yawned again and looked at him with wet eyes.

"I'm not feeling well," Yan Jue suddenly looked sickly, as if he was too weak to take care of himself. "Can you go home with me later?"

Rong Xiao suddenly perked up and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Yan Jue did not answer, but pointed at Fan Yiye next to him, indicating that he had something to discuss and would be back soon.

After moving a few meters to the side and making sure Rong Xiao was within his sight, Yan Jue coldly said to Fan Yiye, "Speak."

"I know you're worried about Rong Xiao, but there's a special situation," Fan Yiye frowned. Even though he was under the inexplicable pressure and hostility from Yan Jue, he insisted on speaking out about his worries. "Something happened today while you were away."

"What's up?"

Fan Yiye looked around nervously and lowered his voice to the lowest point: "Rong Xiao was scratched by a zombie."

This information made Yan Jue stunned in surprise, and he subconsciously looked towards Rong Xiao.

Her body, which was exhausted and limp just now, now found a step and sat down with her legs crossed. She glanced in his direction from time to time, as if she was worried about his condition.

"How could that be?" Yan Jue recalled the successful examination just now, "If there were any wounds..."

"The strangest thing is this: Rong Xiao's wound healed on its own." Fan Yiye still had mixed emotions towards Rong Xiao. "If you don't believe me, you can go talk to Shangguan Yu. He should have seen more."

Yan Jue didn't say anything. Many strange guesses suddenly emerged in his mind. No matter which one, it was not very friendly to Rong Xiao.

"I've thought about this carefully, and I definitely have to report it," Fan Yiye said with a serious expression, not deliberately offering polite words to Yan Jue. "This is a safe zone, and there are more than one or two lives at stake. Also, I think Rong Xiao's condition is very different from when she set out. Perhaps she needs help, and there are people like her in the safe zone."

"What do you mean?" Yan Jue suddenly became alert, "Are you sure..."

"I'm sure there must be someone in the safe zone who can help her," Fan Yiye sighed and said earnestly, "If you want to do this for Rong Xiao's own good, you shouldn't have kept this a secret."

Yan Jue didn't say anything, but clenched his hands slightly at his sides, as if brewing a surge of aggression.

Fan Yiye had felt it just now, but he believed that Yan Jue would definitely figure out what was best for Rong Xiao.

Turning around without any precautions, Fan Yiye turned his back to Yan Jue and walked slowly towards home.

Rong Xiao saw Yan Jue and Fan Yiye finished their conversation, so he stood up from the steps and walked over. "How's it going? Are you done?"

"We're done talking," Yan Jue smiled, looking at his palms that he had clenched and then released, "Are you hungry? Shall we go get something to eat?"

"Let's go." As he said that, Rong Xiao blinked tiredly again and fell down.

Yan Jue had never seen her like this before. Even after a whole day of hard training, she was still full of energy at the end of the afternoon.

Even without Fan Yiye's reminder, he knew that something was wrong with Rong Xiao.

As she was walking, Rong Xiao suddenly felt someone grabbing her hand. Yan Jue beside her frowned and looked at her without saying a word.

Looking down at his hands, Rong Xiao opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Yan Jue interrupted him.

"I'm not feeling well. Can I hold your hand?" Yan Jue asked with a smile.

When Rong Xiao heard this, he shook his hand without hesitation: "Of course."

Even if Rong Xiao tried to cheer herself up, Yan Jue could still feel her unconcealable fatigue. After buying some things on the street, Yan Jue sent her to the doorstep of her home. Only then did Rong Xiao suddenly realize that she was returning to her own home.

"Hey? Aren't you feeling unwell?" Rong Xiao said, trying to open his eyes wide, and vaguely suggested, "I...I'll take you home."

"It's okay, can I rest at your house for a while?"

"all right."
