Let's go back to the hibernation pod room from yesterday. It's more secluded here, and even if zombies break in, she can't get in with her guarding the door.

First, put all the sleeping pods, sofas, and coffee tables into the space, and then put out a solid wood bunk bed that was originally bought from the furniture store upstairs in the warehouse.

The vines slowly lifted Xia Feng to the upper bunk. Currently, the mud-type zombies cannot climb stairs, so even if they break in, they cannot reach Xia Feng on the upper bunk.

The upper bed could accommodate an adult of normal height, but Xia Feng was too tall, so his feet were propped up on the guardrail and dangled over the edge of the bed.

Lin Xuan was worried that his feet would be uncomfortable with them dangling in the air, so she used vines to wrap around the guardrail under his feet and snapped it off completely.

Then they placed the broken board under the mattress, so that the mattress covered half of it, and the other half was just enough for Xia Feng's feet.

At this moment, Xia Feng's face was pale, and his body twitched from time to time.

The turbulent blood vessels calmed down, only occasionally bulging out somewhere in the body before quickly subsiding again.

Lin Xuan leaned down to listen to his heartbeat, which was very faint, and his breathing was almost inaudible.

Curling up next to Xia Feng, Lin Xuan was terrified. Her face was streaked with tears, she bit her thumb, her heart pounding, and she couldn't calm down even after taking several deep breaths.

"It's all my fault, all my fault. I shouldn't have given my brother so many power crystals. I caused his death in my past life, and I'm doing it again in this life..."

She let out a couple of loud howls, then suddenly remembered something and covered her mouth, suppressing her sobs.

Time passed very slowly; every minute was agonizing for Lin Xuan.

She would listen to Xia Feng's heartbeat every now and then, and if she felt that he was still alive, she would bury her head in Xia Feng's arms and sob for a while, or hug Xia Feng and talk nonsense.

They fed Xia Feng water several times, but he clenched his teeth so tightly that all the water flowed onto the bed sheet beneath him, soaking it completely.

Lin Xuan held Xia Feng's hand and prayed incessantly.

Ms. Ye was once a Christian, and Lin Xuan often went to church with her.

However, she didn't care much about her mother's faith, only silently praying to God before buying lottery tickets.

At this moment, Lin Xuan transformed into the most devout believer.

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your commands be done, on earth as they are in heaven…lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil…”

She tried hard to recall the prayer, but now she had no other choice but to hope for a miracle to protect Xia Feng.

Xia Feng was currently trapped in a sticky, weightless space, surrounded by swirling air masses that were suffocating him.

Several forces within his body wanted to burst out. He tried to control the direction of these forces, but he couldn't. Energy surged incessantly in his chest, and his consciousness gradually faded away.

Suddenly a sound rang in my ears, gradually becoming clearer.

May your commands be done on earth as they are in heaven...leading us not into temptation, but delivering us from evil...

They will not lead us into temptation, but will deliver us from evil...

Save us from evil...

The voice acted as a guide, clearing his mind and gradually restoring control over his body.

Grasp the source of the energy surging wildly within the body, combine several streams of energy together, and guide them to circulate through the body's meridians...

Xia Feng's body suddenly sprang up, convulsing violently. A bluish-purple vein bulged out of the skin, writhing like a snake beneath it. Xia Feng's eyes were tightly shut, his expression ferocious.

Lin Xuan was completely disoriented, her eyes glazed over, and she could only hold Xia Feng's head tightly, loudly reciting prayers.

Just then, chaotic footsteps, zombie roars, animal cries, fighting sounds, and a woman's screams echoed in the corridor outside the door, growing louder as they approached.

Lin Xuan composed herself, quickly jumped off the bed, and used invisible vines to weave a net, concealing herself and the bed behind her.

Just as they set up their defenses, the wall of the sleep pod was violently slammed by something, and a sharp animal horn broke through the wall.

The already thin wall shattered with a loud crash, sending brick fragments flying everywhere. These fragments hit the surface of the invisibility vines and bounced off, scattering all over the ground.

A mutated deer appeared behind the collapsed wall.

This deer is much larger than a normal deer, and its antlers have mutated to be extremely large and sharp.

Its eyes were glazed over, drool dripped from its mouth, and it looked confused for a moment after crashing into the wall.

Intense fighting sounds and flashes of fire could be heard ahead in the corridor.

Instead of following the main group to attack the humans who had already run into the other end of the corridor, this mutated deer became interested in the room where Lin Xuan was.

Lin Xuan didn't dare to breathe loudly. The invisibility vines covered her in front of her, so the mutated deer should not be able to see her and Xia Feng behind her.

But the mutated deer kept probing this way with its antlers.

The vine net kept retracting to avoid the deer antlers, until it finally shrank to the bunk bed.

Xia Feng was right behind her, and she could no longer hide. Lin Xuan slowly moved her body, found the right angle, and concentrated the power of the Invisibility Vine onto one vine.

Whoosh—Pfft!

A direct look at the eyes of the mutated deer.

The vine pierced the deer's eye, pulling the eyeball out and slamming it against the wall, spurting out a spray of brown blood in a radial pattern.

The mutated deer emitted a sharp, tearing cry, the sound waves reverberating outwards, making Lin Xuan dizzy and her ears ring, and causing her to see stars.

Suppressing the dizziness and nausea, Lin Xuan retracted the invisibility vines in front of her, revealed herself, and darted out of the sleep pod room.

At the same time, several large wardrobes were placed near the bunk bed to completely block off the area around the bed.

This attracted a mutated deer that had lost an eye and was running around wildly.

She scrambled out of the narrow area and escaped to a spacious hall.

At the other end of the hall, a group of people were working together to deal with two mutated deer.

Several zombies were also gathered around, but were kicked down and trampled by the two deer who didn't distinguish friend from foe.

A woman hiding behind the counter kept screaming, attracting two mutated deer that kept attacking the area, while several men stood in front of the counter to block them.

A tall man in floral shorts, wielding a fire axe, chopped at the antlers that were thrusting at him. As the mutated deer retreated, he raised his hand and unleashed a tongue of fire, scorching a patch of flesh from its body.

Beside the man in the floral shorts, a burly man in a black tight-fitting T-shirt was an earth-type ability user. He wielded an entrenching tool with one hand, while his other arm occasionally conjured a shield of earth.

However, the earthen shield was not sturdy and shattered when hit by the antlers. So he swung his entrenching tool to knock on the antlers again and solidified the shattered earthen shield once more.

"Peng Ze, bring out some more soil," the earth-elemental ability user shouted loudly to the back of the counter.

A fair-skinned boy with a foreign student's haircut peeked out from behind the counter, produced a ball of dirt out of thin air and handed it to him, then quickly withdrew.

There was also a tall, thin man wearing a baseball cap, wielding a Tang sword and sneaking around, interfering with the mutated deer's attack.

Near the mutated deer's rear end, a man with medium-length curly hair was wielding a large hammer. He would swing the hammer whenever he saw an opportunity, but after jumping around for a while, he only managed to hit the target a few times.
