"What are you afraid of? I'm still here." This was all Shi Yin could promise. As long as she remained, the Flame Dragon Nation would not perish.
Facing the apocalypse, Shi Yin dec...
What?
The other three quickly gathered around, and were overjoyed to see the little girl in Emerald's arms.
The little girl looked very weak, but she still had a fighting spirit. Her unconscious waving of her little hands made the group feel a pushing force in the air.
Is this telekinesis?
"That's great! Quick, start the treatment!" Ye Shaoheng's voice trembled with excitement.
He couldn't bear to see people suffer. He had been busy for so long but hadn't been able to save a single person. But now he had actually saved a child who had awakened a special ability. Ye Shaoheng could feel his heart pounding.
"Mommy..." the little girl murmured unconsciously.
"Quickly! Continue the search and rescue!" Ye Shaoheng immediately ordered, "Expand the search area!"
With one person rescued, everyone was full of energy. Ye Shaoheng also wanted to help, but his cloak was suddenly tugged at. Ye Shaoheng turned around and saw that the little girl had woken up.
"Little sister, don't move." Jade was healing the little girl's wounds when she saw the little girl trying to get up and was startled. "Brother and sister will go find your parents now. You lie down first."
"Transformers!" The little girl grabbed Ye Shaoheng's cape, her eyes sparkling.
Ye Shaoheng: "Huh?"
Jade: "..."
Emerald looked up at her captain, Ye Shaoheng, whose silver armor made him nearly three meters tall, practically encasing him like a double door, and the fiery red cloak behind him was even more eye-catching.
I have to say, it really does look like a Transformer.
"Transformers, I want Transformers!" The little girl grabbed Ye Shaoheng: "Transformers, I know where my mom and dad are, please save my mom and dad!"
Ye Shaoheng and Emerald exchanged a glance, and Ye Shaoheng hugged the little girl in his arms.
"Come on, tell Optimus Prime, where are your parents?" Ye Shaoheng was almost carried away by the little girl's praise: "Transformers have come to save the world!"
"There!" The little girl excitedly pointed to a pile of ruins: "Mom hid me in the attic, saying it's sturdy there, and downstairs is where Mom and Dad are hiding!"
When Ye Shaoheng arrived at the location the little girl pointed out, his heart sank.
The little girl was indeed pulled out of a space resembling an attic. The roof had collapsed onto a pillar, forming a triangle, and with the cabinet blocking the way, it created a natural shelter, preventing the little girl from being hit.
However, the place the little girl pointed to was a pile of rubble, with fist-sized stones and steel bars stuck in the ground. If there were anyone under there, they would probably be in grave danger.
We need to see the person alive or dead; we still have to give it a try.
Ye Shaoheng gritted his teeth, gently placed the little girl aside, and bent down to start digging through the rubble.
The other three people were also digging around. Since there was a little girl in one area, it meant that this area should be a human settlement.
"Waaah————"
A loud bugle call sounded.
At first, Ye Shaoheng did not notice anything amiss. He had heard this kind of horn sound before. He had heard Leviathan blow a similar horn at Mingtai Temple last time. Only people like Guan Nianshan, who were relatively special, were affected.
However, Ye Shaoheng seemed to vaguely hear a broken sound.
The sound of breaking was peculiar, like someone smashing a glass in his head. The crisp sound echoed in his mind, followed by an even clearer and louder horn sound.
It hurts!
Ye Shaoheng felt as if a needle had pierced his brain; the sensation was unlike anything he had ever experienced, and he immediately covered his head.
The ground began to shake, as if it were an earthquake. Ye Shaoheng, who was kneeling in front of the ruins digging through the rubble, almost lost his footing. He quickly pulled the little girl beside him into his arms, afraid that she would be affected by the earthquake.
The earthquake was very strong; it was probably caused by that strange horn sound. Some of the houses that were already teetering on the brink of collapse suddenly collapsed completely.
"Waaaaah—"
"ah!"
A horn sounded again, this time almost evolving into an eerie, dark sound.
Ye Shaoheng felt his blood boiling. Even though he hadn't been injected with any stimulants, the power in his body was causing his blood to boil wildly.
The badge on his chest continued to rise without him activating his superpower. Ye Shaoheng tried his best to suppress it, but even so, he was still tormented by a headache and couldn't help but cry out in pain.
It took a while for the world to return to calm.
Ye Shaoheng touched his head with lingering fear. Through the helmet, he could feel a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and he was having some difficulty breathing.
"Hey everyone, are you alright...?"
The surroundings were noisy, with the howls of zombies, the crackling of flames and falling rocks.
But it's so quiet.
Ye Shaoheng was almost unable to move. He stared blankly at his companions behind him, watching them curl up on the ground in a ferocious state, their skin rapidly deteriorating.
Their eyes gradually lost their humanity, turning from pain to numbness, and finally to unconscious rage.
“Jade?” Ye Shaoheng reached out to his nearest companion, his fingers trembling. “Hey, Jade, you’re the most serious one. Don’t scare me like that.”
However, the woman called Emerald seemed not to hear what Ye Shaoheng was saying at all. She suddenly stood up straight, let out a roar to the sky, and charged forward, fighting with the other zombies that emerged from the ruins.
"Hey, wait! Brother Su Ji, Qi Lian!" Ye Shaoheng knelt on the ground holding the little girl. He didn't know what had happened, but he felt very cold, his whole body was cold.
"Qilian, stop joking, this really isn't funny..." Ye Shaoheng murmured softly, as if talking to someone else, "I'll never make any more inappropriate jokes again, please don't do this..."
Perhaps because these newly appeared zombies were only interested in fighting among their own kind, or perhaps because Ye Shaoheng's armor itself could conceal his presence, the surrounding zombies did not notice Ye Shaoheng and instead attacked each other.
After becoming zombies, the young members of the Jade team were encased in combat suits, preventing them from using their claws and teeth to harm others. However, they still maintained the training results of the national team.
Their arms were exceptionally strong; while other zombies were desperately trying to tear the merchant apart, they had already snapped the necks of several zombies.
Then, he was pounced on by other zombies.
Even the most advanced combat suits cannot withstand a massive horde of zombies for long. As the number of zombies gathered here increased, Ye Shaoheng could no longer see his companions.
"Agate, jade!" Ye Shaoheng seemed to wake from a dream as he rushed down the ruins carrying the unconscious little girl in his arms.
Perhaps because the little girl in his arms was unharmed, the sound seemed to have only stunned her. She lay obediently in Ye Shaoheng's arms, and her skin did not show any signs of turning into a zombie.
However, when Ye Shaoheng arrived at the ruins where his former companions had been settled, he froze again. Ye Shaoheng felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, making him tremble all over.
Most of the companions placed here were seriously injured, or had wounds on their bodies that were difficult to heal.
Now, some people are lying on the ground completely turned into zombies, and their injuries have made it difficult for them to move, so they can only crawl on the ground.
Some of the relatively intact zombies were frantically attacking their companions. Perhaps because they were turning into zombies for the first time, they had no humans to eat and could only eat their companions to replenish their flesh and blood. A girl was lying on top of a man.
Ye Shaoheng recognized the man; he was a young man whom Ye Shaoheng valued highly. During this zombie horde, the man's abdomen was cut open. After being given basic first aid and stitched up, he was lying here waiting for rescue. Now, a female zombie had torn open his abdomen and was devouring his internal organs.
The helmet rolled to the side, and Ye Shaoheng stared blankly at the person lying on the ground in front of him, inhumanly devouring his companion, unable to utter a word.
Seemingly sensing someone's presence, the woman raised her head.
It's Qingyu's face!
