The eleven people tacitly split into two teams, and following behind Pei Ke, besides Huo Yuan, was a man named Ji Huai'an.

The two split up and entered the supermarket. Pei Ke looked towards Song Jinyun's group as they entered the station, and whispered, "We're getting supplies."

"Um."

Huo Yuan followed Pei Ke with light steps, his eyes sharp and vigilant as he surveyed his surroundings, exuding the imposing aura of a soldier.

Ji Huai'an possesses healing abilities; he is slender and sandwiched between the two, holding two enormous packaging bags in his hands.

The supermarket didn't have many supplies left, so Ji Huai'an followed Huo Yuan to the snack section, while Pei Ke gripped her spiked club and went to the adjacent living area.

She possesses dual earth and fire elemental abilities, enabling her to both attack and defend, so Huo Yuan is not worried.

After confirming that there was no danger in the living area, Pei Ke placed the spiked club nearby where she could easily reach it before starting to pack some tissues, clothes, and toiletries into her bag.

"roar--"

Suddenly, the roar of a zombie came.

Pei Ke looked up instantly and saw a zombie rushing towards her at an extremely fast speed. Pei Ke's pupils contracted, and she reacted quickly by using her earth-based abilities to create a wall.

He casually reached for the spiked club beside him and grabbed it. The earthen wall disappeared, and Pei Ke delivered a blow to the zombie's head, instantly killing it.

Unexpectedly, five more zombies rushed in. Pei Ke licked her lips, her eyes welling up with tears from the tension. She sniffed, this damned incontinence of tears was making her look so bad!

"Pei Ke!"

Hearing the commotion, Huo Yuan ran out and saw Pei Ke surrounded. He subtly gripped his specially made curved blade and rushed over. The blade was covered in purple lightning. With one strike, he chopped off a zombie's head and faced Pei Ke back to back.

"Why are there so many zombies all of a sudden?"

Pei Ke blinked, her voice hoarse, "I don't know, they just suddenly came in. Let's hurry up and see if there's a problem with Song Jinyun's side."

Huo Yuan thought so too. Fortunately, the zombies weren't high-level, and they were dealt with in no time. The two of them picked up their bags and met up with Ji Huai'an. "Let's go check out the outside first."

Ji Huai'an nodded, "Okay."

Just as the three were about to go out, Song Jinyun and her group rushed in. Someone shouted, "Go upstairs! A bunch of zombies suddenly swarmed in from below!"

Pei Ke frowned deeply. "Why are there suddenly so many zombies?"

Song Jinyun's forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat. She didn't say anything when she heard Pei Ke's words, her lips pressed together until they turned white. She never expected that they would be so unlucky this time, encountering a zombie horde.

The zombie horde is a sign of zombie evolution, and this period will last for twelve hours. They must hide, or they will die a terrible death.

The eleven people ran all the way to the top floor. Shengze locked the iron gate to the rooftop, and the others grabbed whatever was around them to block the door.

Pei Ke walked to the rooftop railing, where the countless zombies were so densely packed that it made her scalp tingle. "How can there be so many? What happened to the zombies?"

The others also came over, their expressions solemn. Huo Yuan lifted his eyelids to look at the rooftop opposite, silently calculating the distance in his mind. "The zombies are showing such unusual behavior, they are probably about to evolve. This door won't hold for long, we have to jump over."

A subtle appreciation flickered in Song Jinyun's eyes. No wonder he was the man she had her eye on; he could tell something was wrong from the slightest change.

“I can build you a wooden ladder; you can go over there first.”

To be precise, Song Jinyun only has one wood-type ability, but since she can store things, everyone assumes that she also has a spatial ability.
