"Should we still smash it?" Luo Xingyou asked Chi Yanzhou.

"Smash!" Chi Yanzhou shouted without hesitation, "Keep smashing!"

So, everyone unleashed their superpowers one after another...

On the other side, Wen Qing's palm was placed on Lu Nange's back, and the soft green light quickly repaired the damage caused by Lu Nange's overexertion of her superpower.

Sweat beaded on Wen Qing's forehead and slid down his cheeks...

Finally, she let out a long sigh of relief, withdrew her hand somewhat exhausted, and her face was even paler than before.

Wen Qing looked anxiously at the wounded area ahead, where cries of agony filled the air: "Nan Nan, there are too many wounded ahead, Lin Shuang and the others can't handle it all, I have to go."

Lu Nange grabbed a few pieces of beef jerky and stuffed them into Wen Qing's hand, while handing her a bag of crystal cores.

"Eat first, then go. Replenish your energy and take good care of yourself."

Wen Qing nodded, chewed on the beef jerky, and turned to leave.

"Gangzi! Protect Sister Wenqing..." Lu Nange shouted, looking up at the sky.

"Understood! Leave it to me, beauty!" The macaw responded crisply, then shrunk down and landed on Wen Qing's shoulder in a flash.

At the same time, Chi Yanzhou looked at the shield in front of him, which was on the verge of breaking.

"Uncle! Brother Che! Sister Yan! Take all the wounded who are no longer able to fight and retreat to the inner perimeter of the base immediately! Be quick!"

The three nodded, and Sang Xu turned around and shouted, "All lightly wounded, those who can move, help the brothers and sisters next to you! Follow us and retreat in an orderly manner! Hurry!"

The crowd immediately surged forward...

"Ah Ye! Lao Ji!" Chi Yanzhou turned his gaze to Lu Beiye and Ji Xian.

"You need to help them open the shields in front of the base gate!"

Ji Xian: "Understood! I'll be right back!"

Lu Beiye glanced at Lu Nange and said, "Sis, be careful! I'll be right back!"

Lu Nange gave him a reassuring smile: "Yes. Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

Lu Beiye nodded, and together with Ji Xian, they turned around and rushed against the retreating crowd towards the Flame Heart Gate.

Some of the wounded, supporting each other, staggered away, following the directions of Sang Xu and the others.

Meanwhile, another group of less seriously injured individuals with remaining strength spontaneously and rapidly converged on the core combat area where Lu Nange and Chi Yanzhou were located...

Gu Qi glanced at the blood-soaked bandage on Jin Xiao's arm and said, "You're injured. Follow me and retreat."

Upon hearing this, Jin Xiao nonchalantly waved his hand and said, "Is that all? It's not even enough to tickle you. I'll stay; more people mean more strength."

Si Sheng walked over to Chi Yanzhou and Lu Nange: "Brother Yan, Miss Lu, what's the next move? Should we just charge in?"

"The zombie horde was almost wiped out by their indiscriminate attack, which saved us some trouble," Chi Yanzhou said coldly.

"Now, concentrate your forces and break through that tortoise shell first! Then..." he paused, his killing intent chilling, "Slaughter the big ones inside!"

Lu Xici roughly estimated the number of dark figures moving in the smoke and dust, his tone uncertain.

"It looks like... only a few dozen level 8 monsters? We still have several hundred people. Even if they're not in good condition, we should be able to wear them down through a war of attrition, right?"

Lu Nange: "Among them, there is a 'commander.' Two living superhumans. That lightning bolt just now was set off by one of them."

He Zhuo was stunned: "Little sister, such a powerful explosion, and you were hit by such heavy rubble... you weren't killed by the explosion or the impact? And you're still alive and kicking, shooting arrows at people?"

Chi Yanzhou looked at Lu Nange: "Do you think the person behind the scenes has arrived?"

“There’s a chance.” Lu Nange nodded: “Although I didn’t see clearly, I can roughly judge that they are two people with superpowers.”

"One is lightning-based, the one that attacked just now, and the other is metal-based." She recalled the golden shield that flashed by when the lightning appeared.

Chi Yanzhou: "That lightning bolt just now was very strong."

He Zhuo scratched his head: "But this shield right now doesn't seem to be lightning-based, nor metal-based... I can't tell what kind of shield it is at all."

Lu Xici: "You can't break it open with your superpowers? There are two other superpowered individuals inside... Why don't you just yell at them to come out?"
