He Zhuo's eyes widened: "Brother Ci, are you serious? Open the door and let me in...?"

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred!

Boom!

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky above them without warning, heading straight for where they were!

"Raise your shields!" Chi Yanzhou's fierce shout rang out almost simultaneously with the thunder!

Almost instinctively, all the superhumans around them raised their hands at the same time.

Ice shields, earth barriers, golden shields... all sorts of lights suddenly lit up, weaving together into a jumbled defensive shield above everyone's heads.

Bang! Sizzle—!

The lightning struck the makeshift "shield stack," shattering the outermost energy shields. However, as the subsequent shields were worn down, the sneak attack was finally blocked and annihilated...

"Damn it, these zombies can even ambush!" someone cursed angrily.

"I didn't hear Miss Lu mention that there are any living superhumans inside!"

Before they could even catch their breath, another unexpected event occurred ahead...

A sudden gust of wind rose from the location of the giant corpses!

The remaining smoke and dust, along with the fine pebbles, were swept into it, instantly forming a murky sandstorm that roared and lashed out at the Flamehearts!

The intention couldn't be clearer—to obscure the view and create chaos!

Lu Nange had just replenished the wind shield above everyone's heads when she saw this and suddenly pushed her hands forward!

A powerful, opposing gale roared out from in front of her palm, crashing violently into the oncoming sandstorm tornado!

Whoosh—Boom!

Two violent air currents collided and tore each other apart in mid-air!

Amidst a dull roar, the sand and dust were churned wildly, turning the field of vision into a chaotic mess.

Lu Nange's wind forcefully churned the incoming sand and dust vortex, causing it to lose direction, deflect, and then roll back!

A raging sandstorm swept across the horde of zombies, heading towards their rear...

The lingering power of the lightning overhead had dissipated...

My vision was finally completely clear.

The scene ahead was laid bare before everyone's eyes.

Dozens of mutated giant zombies, no longer humanoid, their lower bodies incorporating features of various mutated animals...

These gruesome limbs supported their mountain-like bodies, their skin an unhealthy bluish-purple, covered with cracks and ripped wounds inflicted by the rubble.

Its murky purple eyes were fixed on Yan Xin and the others, yet it remained strangely still, not rushing forward immediately.

In front of the giant zombie, two figures stood silently, creating a highly oppressive scene with the ferocious monsters behind them.

The person standing slightly behind on the left is completely shrouded in a black combat suit.

A large hood completely concealed his face in shadow.

The person standing slightly ahead on the right was dressed in a sharp, well-tailored black suit, which seemed out of place, even somewhat absurd, in this bloody, post-apocalyptic battlefield.

His hands hung naturally at his sides, his posture casual, yet he exuded a chilling indifference.

His eyes, however, were like a predator casually sizing up its prey as he looked at Lu Nange and her group.

The still-simmering air currents and dust around them, upon approaching within a three-meter radius, seemed to hit an invisible wall, automatically calming and reversing...

Lu Nange and Chi Yanzhou exchanged a glance, both reading the same conclusion from each other's eyes: [Found them! The mastermind?]
