"Perhaps it is because the gods and Buddhas believe that you yourself have the power to overcome this calamity."

The group stared blankly at Lu Nange, at the unwavering certainty in her eyes that required no external assistance.

A few seconds later, Gu Wan's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed.

"Nan Nan...you're right. We've made it through every time, and we'll definitely win this time too!"

He Zhuo: "Don't worry, Gu Wanwan. Even if there are many high-level zombies, there are only a thousand in total. We have the advantage in numbers, so we're guaranteed to win this round!"

Lu Nange turned around, her gaze falling on the spreading black tide: "Not a thousand, but two thousand, even three thousand..."

He Zhuo swallowed hard: "Little sister... I didn't hear you clearly, could you say it again?"

Lu Beiye: "Brother Zhuo, you heard me right, it's several thousand!!!"

Lu Nange raised her hand and gently placed it on the top of the branch beside her, rubbing it. The little tree-man's wavy hair swayed, and the emerald green leaves brushed against her palm.

Lu Nange: "Zhizhi, if we go by proportion, that's thirty level eight zombies."

Zhizhi blinked its round eyes and made a series of rapid "chirp chirp chirp" sounds as the delicate vines affectionately wrapped around her wrist.

[Master, don't worry! I'll go and establish myself up ahead!]

Lu Nange's fingers tightened slightly: "Be careful."

"grumble!"

[Yes, Master, Zhizhi will always fight alongside you!]

The little tree-man gave a crisp response, its body flashing with green light.

The next second, several thick vines suddenly shot out from its body, as if falling down the edge of a ten-meter-high shield wall, and then its entire body leaped down along the vines.

As soon as it touches the ground, its roots quickly burrow deep into the soil.

The main trunk began to expand and stretch, rising to the position where Lu Nange and the others were in a few breaths, and continued to climb upwards.

The bark of the main trunk of the branches became rough and tough, and more vines sprouted and grew wildly from all parts of the branches, like countless green tentacles ready to be unleashed, swaying slightly in the air.

"Aye, Xingyou, Zhuoge, Xiange... surround Zhizhi!" Lu Nange called out, bending down.

“Okay, sister!” Lu Beiye reacted quickly, clasping his hands together.

"clear!"

The earth element surged and rose, encircling the trunk and branches, reaching the level of the shield...

A pale golden light of supernatural energy surged out, rapidly extending and rising along the ground around where the branches were rooted, instantly forming an arc-shaped metal protective wall that shielded the enlarged branches behind it.

The protective wall connects to the main defensive line in front, extending for hundreds of meters.

The group adjusted their positions, walked around Zhizhi's location, and stood in front of her.

At this moment, the thick vines had already intertwined and spread above everyone's heads, forming a swaying green "sky curtain," ready to strangle any enemy who tried to break through from above or attack from a distance.

In the distance, billowing smoke and dust...

Several figures, whose speed far surpassed that of their kind, rushed to the forefront, their purple pupils flashing in the dust—those were level eight zombies!

Behind them were colossal zombies, their every step causing the ground to tremble, and even more twisted, bizarre half-human, half-beast hybrids...

The air was scorching hot, carrying the stench of earth and corpses...

"Gangzi, come back!"

Upon hearing Lu Nange's voice, the macaw flapped its wings and landed on a branch of vines...

Lu Nange looked around: "Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"Fight!!!" Chi Yanzhou, Lu Beiye, Lu Xici, Luo Xingyou... the group responded in unison!

"Fight!!!" All the superhumans shouted in unison, their eyes red with fury!

Almost the instant the last word "war" was uttered, the group of level eight zombies in the front row pounced!
