Chapter 206 Iterative Updates...

Yuli glanced at Liu Hanhai out of the corner of her eye, and the latter put down the roll in his arms.

The couple moved simultaneously like cheetahs—Liu Hanhai blocked Han Sheng's retreat, while You Li's palms were already ablaze.

"Smack!"

A slap, thick with flames, landed hard on Han Lin's face, and the smell of burning flesh instantly filled the air.

Han Lin covered his face and backed away, blood seeping from between his fingers.

"Being ugly is bad enough, but why become a spirit? For Mr. Han's sake," Yuri said, flames flickering at her fingertips, "I'll spare your life today, don't be shy!"

Just as Han Sheng was about to make a move, Liu Hanhai's golden shield rang out and blocked his way.

Han Sheng glanced at Lu Nange and the others behind You Li out of the corner of his eye, and dejectedly lowered his hand: "Base Commander, Madam You, these ten boxes of supplies... are an apology to you."

Han Lin covered his face and mumbled, "Brother... I... I'm already like this... what kind of apology am I supposed to make?"

"Bang!"

Yuri delivered a side kick, striking Han Lin in the abdomen.

Han Lin flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, raising a cloud of dust outside the door.

"Mr. Han, I'll take the things." Yuri flicked her wrist. "Please come with your sister."

Han Sheng: "Then I won't bother you any longer."

The iron gate slammed shut behind him, and Han Sheng immediately signaled his men to help the limp Han Lin up.

With each step Han Lin took, he gasped in pain, his face contorted in horrific burns: "Brother... are you just going to watch..."

Han Sheng: "Shut up, you idiot! What did I tell you before we came? Only by being humble and subservient can we make long-term plans. Are you trying to send us all to our deaths with the Zhao family by going head-to-head with Liu Hanhai?"

Han Lin wanted to argue, but the sharp pain in his abdomen forced him to let out a muffled groan.

Looking at his sister's burns, Han Sheng's temples throbbed. "Liu Hanhai certainly married a capable woman. What are you, a level one superpowered individual, doing, always yelling at people? Alright, stop standing there, hurry back and find someone to treat her..."

......

Yuri opened the supply box, the cans clinking together: "These are all durable, Xiaoge'er, you can take them all later."

Lu Nange: "Sister, we don't lack supplies. On the contrary, your base has more people. You should keep them for yourselves."

Yuri: "You're just carrying backpacks, what supplies could you possibly have?"

Lu Nange: "Let's not talk about that now, let's talk about leaving the city first."

"Is it absolutely necessary to leave?" Yuri's gaze swept over the young people standing in a row.

Lu Nange and her group nodded in unison.

Yuri: "Can't you stay and keep me company?"

Lu Nange and her group shook their heads in a row.

Yuri: "A bunch of heartless little devils!"

She bent down and picked up Juanjuan, who had moved to Lu Beiye's lap. When she looked up again, she had a smile on her face: "Alright, I know you two must have other things to do, but you'll have to ask your brother-in-law about leaving the city."

Lu Nange and her group looked at Liu Hanhai in a row.

Liu Hanhai: "The outer wall and the intelligent zombies I mentioned before, that's the road out of Suzhou."

Lu Nange: "Intelligent zombies? Brother-in-law, could you be more specific?"

Liu Hanhai: "How should I put it?... For example, the zombies in the city are like mad dogs, they pounce on any noise, and they don't even flinch when bullets hit them. But those outside the walls..."

He tapped his fingers heavily on his knee: "Every attack they launch is like a probe, and they retreat. And every time they reappear, they start by attacking our weakest point from last time."

He Zhuo: "Is this even allowed to live? In this world, are zombies starting to grow brains?"

Liu Hanhai: "It's not that they all have brains. Every time we fight, there's always a tall, thin guy standing at the very back. He looks at least two meters tall through the binoculars. He just stands there watching coldly, never making a move. But I feel like he's the one directing..."

Lu Nange and the others exclaimed in unison, "A mirage?"

He Zhuo suddenly realized, "It really does look like that zombie that climbed the wall barehanded back then."

Yuri: "Little Ge'er, have you encountered this before?"

Lu Nange nodded slightly: "I encountered something similar in Haishi before..."

Lu Xici: "Does this mean that zombies are also constantly evolving?"

Lu Nange spared a sliver of consciousness to ask Youyou in her mind: [Youyou, do these zombies have iterative updates?]

Youyou: [Of course, Nannan. We can't have humans leveling up while all the zombies are still level one, right?]

Lu Nange: [...It even rhymes!]

Youyou: [Hmm, don't you even know who my host is?]

......

Liu Hanhai's gaze lingered on Lu Xici's face for a moment: "That's right, just like Xiaoci said, those zombies on the outer wall seem to be escalating with each attack..."

Yuri: "No wonder you haven't been coming home lately."

Liu Han smiled wryly: "They become quiet during the day as the temperature rises, but they become active again as soon as it gets dark. Plus, their attacks are getting stronger, so I have no way to leave..."

Lu Xici: "It sounds like a sword hanging over my head."

Liu Hanhai nodded.

Yuri: "It's so dangerous. If you guys insist on going, why don't you take a detour?"

Lu Nange: "If the zombies are really escalating, even if we take a detour, the situation won't be much better than in Suzhou."

Chi Yanzhou: "Brother-in-law, would you like to break this sword?"

Liu Hanhai: "Xiao Chi, it's not that your brother-in-law doesn't want to deal with it, it's just that there are too many zombies..."

Chi Yanzhou: "Why don't you take us to see what's going on now, brother-in-law?"

"Perfect timing, I also need to deal with the Zhao family's ability users over there on the outer wall." Liu Hanhai glanced at the darkening sky outside the window.

Yuri: "You've been busy all day. You and your brother-in-law go ahead, I'll go cook for you. When you come back, you can have something hot to eat."
