Sure enough, the next second...

Lu Beiye: "My sister said I'm still young and haven't grown taller yet. I... will be taller than you sooner or later! Even if I don't grow taller, you really can't beat me!"

Lu Xici... [Intended to hurt each other, but ended up humiliating himself! My own brother, my own flesh and blood!!!]

He squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "...Okay, you're good."

Lu Nange pulled out a tissue and wiped the sweat from Lu Beiye's forehead.

Lu Beiye tilted his head back and let his sister wipe his sweat. His little temper from before vanished instantly, his eyes crinkled, and his voice softened: "Sister!"

Lu Xici curled her lips in disapproval: "At such a young age, the speed at which your expression changes is too fast!"

"Nan Nan." Chi Yanzhou walked over.

Lu Nange turned to him: "Brother Yan, after all the vehicles are parked, we need to hurry up and burn these zombie corpses..."

We have no idea how many zombies the enemy will send this time, or what level they will be.

Just in case, should we seal off the entire Flame Core, or should we move the entire pre-planned battlefield forward?

When Grandpa Chi and his elders came from the other side, their footsteps mingled with the tapping sound of Grandpa Chi's cane on the ground.

The elders' faces did indeed show signs of weariness, but their backs were straighter than flagpoles on a wall, and their eyes were as sharp as if they had been slashed by a knife.

Old Master Chi walked closer and first glanced at the pile of corpses still smoking under the wall: "Nan Nan is right."

This wall is our last line of defense. We can't put all our hopes on it. We need to retreat a bit further and create a buffer zone.

Even if...that lurking thing really got angry and threw over a dozen or twenty level seven or eight monsters, it wouldn't necessarily destroy the base.

"grandfather..."

"Grandpa Chi, Grandpa Shi..."

Grandpa Chi waved his hand, his white eyebrows furrowing slightly: "We're fine! These old bones haven't fallen apart yet!"

"We can hold on, and we can help! Don't always worry about us old folks! You should be building walls and setting up defenses! The important things come first!"

Grandpa Shi nodded emphatically beside him, slamming his cane on the ground with a dull thud, as if to express his agreement.

Chi Yanzhou did not respond.

He knew the old men's temper; saying anything more at this point would be superfluous.

His gaze shifted and landed on Chi Yi: "Chi Yi!"

“Yes!” Chi Yi immediately stepped forward.

Chi Yanzhou: "Notify all personnel on duty at the base's outposts that all individuals with level two or lower superpowers must immediately return to the base!"

All high-level superhumans, gather here and await orders!

The Level 2 ability users who were withdrawn from the base have been assigned specific tasks: primarily responsible for patrolling and guarding the base area and maintaining order!

Their core responsibility is to ensure the safety of all the elderly, children, and the injured at all costs!

"clear!"

"Wait a minute." Chi Yanzhou called out to Chi Yi, who was about to turn around, and turned his gaze to his grandfather and several elders, his tone becoming more solemn.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Shi, and all the aunties." He paused.

“Inside the base, relying solely on level two ability users is definitely not enough.”

It requires experience and someone who can keep things under control.

Therefore, I would like to ask you all to join me in guarding the rear.

Grandpa Chi and Grandpa Shi exchanged a glance.

The two old buddies didn't speak, but their eyes exchanged something only they understood.

The women, including Mrs. He, who had come along, remained silent...

A few seconds later, Old Master Chi spoke first: "Alas... I'm old and useless now. I can't help you young people with the things you risked your lives for back then..."

Lu Nange: "Grandpa! You are the 'pillars of stability' for our entire Flame Heart."

With you all staying home, we can focus wholeheartedly and charge forward without hesitation!
