Seeing that the argument was getting louder and louder, and was even escalating to the point where they wanted to go outside and fight to decide who would be in charge of the Level 7 Zombie King, Lin Qi quickly stopped them, saying, "Stop arguing! I'll be in charge of the Zombie King, and no one is allowed to take it from me!"

Ye Jingxue and the others glared at each other angrily and said in unison, "Why are you trying to take it from us too?"

Lin Qi complained, "What do you mean by 'stealing' from you? This was my mission!"

Banxia watched with great interest as the group clashed again. If she didn't know that their level was practically suicidal to fight a level seven zombie king, she would have almost thought it was a good thing.

Yan Ning slammed his fist on the table, making a final decision: "Both the Level 7 Zombie King and the Level 6 Zombie King are mine!"

Seeing that the others were about to speak, he quickly added, "My team has three level-six ability users and six level-five ability users!"

Ye Jingxue and the others stared at her in disbelief: "You, Yan Ning, have actually learned to talk big in order to compete with us for the Level 7 Zombie King!"

In their quest to reach level five as quickly as possible, they traded countless resources for crystal cores, even incurring considerable favors. They could barely believe that Yan Ning herself was already at level six; where would her subordinates have gotten so many resources to exchange for enough crystal cores for their own upgrades?

Yan Ning rolled her eyes and snapped, "Who cares to lie to you? Weren't you all just curious why I brought a young woman along? I'll tell you now—"

She looked at Banxia with pride: "Because not only is her own ability at level six, but she also has a team consisting of eighty mutated animals and twenty mutated plants, and the highest level in the team is level six, while the lowest level is level four!"

If she hadn't personally fought alongside Banxia's plant and animal team, she wouldn't have believed that there were people in this world who could subdue so many different kinds of plants and animals with different personalities and use them for their own purposes.

Ye Jingxue and the others turned to look at Banxia, ​​who was barely noticeable. Today, she was wearing a simple white long-sleeved tracksuit, her smooth black hair was casually tied back, and her exposed hands, neck and cheeks had fair and delicate skin. She looked like a delicate young girl, which did not match the image of the powerful boss that Yan Ning had described at all.

Banxia calmly nodded, indicating, "I guarantee I will complete the mission."

After taking over the mutated plants and animals of Rongcheng, she and Tiantian took the time to personally select a batch of plants and animals suitable for combat and handed them over to Yinzi and the Banyan King for training. Along the way, they also tried every means to get through to Yan Ning.

Of course, she didn't abandon the remaining mutated plants and animals; instead, she entrusted them to Benlei and Xingzi for management, planning to find a way to pass through the main road once their strength and combat awareness had improved.

Lin Qi and Ye Jingxue exchanged glances, still finding it hard to believe: "This lady..."

Banxia reminded them, "My name is Banxia."

Lin Qi said solemnly, "Ms. Banxia, ​​it's not that I don't trust you, but this matter is of great importance. I must understand your true strength before I dare to entrust the task to you with peace of mind."

He hesitated for a moment, "Excuse me for speaking frankly, but when you entered the city yesterday, you didn't bring the animal and plant army that Yan Ning mentioned. Are they outside the city now?"

Banxia shook her head and explained, "My spatial ability is quite special. It can not only store ordinary items, but also mutated plants and animals. The underground city is too small to hold my mutated plants and animals. Let's go to the surface."

Lin Qi said impatiently, "There's a square nearby!"

The second round of extreme heat saw daily temperatures generally between 70 and 75 degrees Celsius. Banxia glanced at the bright sun in the sky, remembering Nanxing's morning reminder to "remember to bring an umbrella when you go out," and took out a parasol from her spatial storage and opened it.

To be honest, although the umbrella couldn't block the high temperature, it could at least block the sun, making the exposed skin much more comfortable.

Upon arriving at the plaza, Banxia decisively released the mutated plant and animal clusters into her space.

Standing at the very front are the smallest birds, cats, foxes, and minks, followed by medium-sized dogs and wolves, then the enormous tigers, wild boars, and elephants, and finally, a small number of mutated plants.

Banxia Chao, standing in neat rows, nodded to the team: "Look, they're all here."

Lin Qi and the others were completely dumbfounded.

Yan Ning looked at her mischievous friends with schadenfreude: "Now you believe me, right?"

Lin Qi nodded frantically: "Believe it! Believe it! Believe it!"

His eyes gleamed as he looked at Banxia. With this powerful mutated animal and plant army around, what was a mere level seven zombie king?

The group returned to the underground office and reconsidered their battle plan.

Finally, the group unanimously decided that Banxia's team would take over the level 7 and level 6 zombie kings, while the remaining 200,000+ zombies would be taken over by the eight of them individually.

According to reports from the front, the zombie king will arrive at the border in about ten days.

Banxia came to the border mainly to harvest the Zombie King's crystal core. Not wanting to waste any more time, she simply told Yan Ning and the others, and took Nanxing across the border into the territory of Da'e to actively search for the Zombie King's whereabouts.

Su Yao and his group remained in the city for the time being due to their insufficient strength.

The zombie horde was huge, so the commotion was bound to be significant. Within two days, Banxia found the main zombie force.

Looking down at the dense horde of zombies below the mountain, she felt a pang of trypophobia.

Banxia pulled out all her firearms and said to the mutated animal and plant group behind her, "See those disgusting things? Beat them up! We'll have a big meal tonight after that!"

After saying that, he picked up the rocket launcher and fired at the horde of zombies.

Upon hearing the words "feast," all the mutated plants and animals became excited and quickly grabbed their most proficient weapons to attack the zombie horde.

Nanxing shook his head speechlessly and joined the battle.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

"Da da da!"

...

Banxia's decisive action quickly stirred up the zombie horde, but having experienced many battles along the way, they quickly recovered.

A level 5 zombie spotted Banxia from afar and immediately became so excited that it started dancing with joy. Heaven knows how long it had been since it had eaten fresh human flesh!

It let out a long howl and commanded its minions to charge up the mountain.

Banxia snorted coldly: "Keep fighting!"

Her goal was to lure out the zombie king, who was hiding somewhere, not this small fry.

Most of the zombies have now reached level three, so they run extremely fast. In addition, the mountain where Banxia hid and launched her ambush was only four or five hundred meters high. Therefore, in just over ten minutes, the level five zombie and its minions rushed to within a hundred meters of her.

Two fresh-faced young people!

There are also dozens of mutated animals brimming with vitality!

If it weren't for the fact that it had already lost the ability to produce saliva, the level 5 zombie would have been drooling like crazy.
