Mingyue's voice was wooden, her hands tightly gripping Qingfeng's body, which was already cold, her eyes vacant. "You mean, he was bitten, but why? Doesn't he have superpowers that can keep him alive? Didn't you say that?"

No wonder he said so much all at once; he's usually very sparing with words.

"Mingyue, don't be like this. We are also very sad that Qingfeng is gone, but you can't think of everything as so negative." Zhang Yang saw that there was a hint of resentment towards Jiang Ruan in his words, so he quickly stepped forward to explain.

Unexpectedly, Mingyue shoved him away and shouted, "Get out of here! All of you get out of here! Don't touch him! None of you should touch him!"

As he picked up Qingfeng and turned to leave, Jiang Yan shouted, "Mingyue!"

Unfortunately, this did not stop him from moving forward.

“If you take him away like this, I guarantee he will die, and vice versa.” Jiang Ruan understood Mingyue’s complicated feelings for Qingfeng, and knew that the two had grown up together and had a deep friendship. Even without that emotional filter, he would not stand idly by.

Even if it were just for Qingfeng's sake, she wouldn't ignore it.

At those words, Mingyue stopped in her tracks and turned around swiftly. "You have a way?"

Jiang Ruan stretched out her hand, the flowers embedded in her fingertips were more vibrant and dazzling than ever before, clearly a sign that her healing technique had been upgraded.

"Boss, you leveled up again?" Zhang Yang pointed at Jiang Ruan incredulously. The first time she leveled up, he only felt that she had an extra layer of halo around her, but there was no other significant difference.

But this time, it's clearly very different.

The zombie that had just died hadn't even had a chance to absorb its crystal, but it automatically popped out of its body and then merged into Jiang Ruan's fingertips with lightning speed. Under the continuous irrigation and cleansing of the crystal, Jiang Ruan broke through the second layer of defense, and her healing spell was upgraded to level three.

At the same time, her other attack spells also increased due to the upgrade of her healing spell, which in turn increased her overall strength and gave her more room to maneuver.

Therefore, she is now even more powerful than she was at her peak in her previous life.

"Okay, let's deal with these things first, then take Qingfeng back for treatment. We'll ask him about the cause after he wakes up."

Mingyue pondered for a moment, feeling uneasy, but ultimately chose the benefit over the harm. She took off her coat, then gently put down Qingfeng, and together with Zhang Yang and the others, looked at the pairs of blood-red eyes in the thick fog.

"Are you all tired?" Jiang Ruan asked before the game started, leaving the others stunned and wondering what she meant.

"What does Miss Jiang mean?"

Jiang Ruan smiled, shielded Qingfeng with a protective shield, and pulled it back a little.

Then a cannon was pulled out from the space, a 155mm howitzer, which has many advantages such as accurate shooting, wide coverage, and strong destructive power.

"???"

The group was taken aback; they hadn't expected Jiang Ruan to pull out this.

They all knew to some extent that she had a spatial dimension, but they didn't know that this dimension was so large that it could hold cannonballs.

"Boss, to be honest, you don't only have this kind, do you? I remember that China and the United States both have this, but they are slightly different. In addition, this kind of cannon is not easy to obtain and not easy to use. It is good for us to use it, but I don't know how to use it."

Zhang Yang was in a dilemma. The items were good, but the person in question was not useful.

Duan Yu and Jiang Yan stepped forward together. "We both know how to use them, so we won't need our special abilities now. Let's start shooting quickly and also be careful not to damage the border defenses of Xizhou."

Most importantly, this shell has a built-in silencer, so even after it's fired, it won't make much of a sound.

As he spoke, he and Duan Yu walked to the rear of the 155mm howitzer to check the equipment. After confirming that it was not equipped with special warheads such as multi-purpose mother-daughter munitions or guided missiles, they breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that even a simple warhead could cause enormous power, and if it were complicated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They shouldn't do something that would turn out badly if they meant well.

"Don't worry, I've made preparations. Your shooting range won't exceed a ten-kilometer coverage area. Besides, the sound has been improved so it won't cause significant harm to users at close range, so you don't need to wear headphones at all."

After confirming everything, Jiang Ruan pulled Zhang Yang and Mingyue to hide behind a rock to the side, with Qingfeng beside them. Duan Yu and Jiang Yan then carried out their shooting based on the range and number of the blood-red eyes, as well as the vaguely discernible terrain conditions.

"Bang!!!"

"Thump!!!"

Even with the mute button pressed, the loud noise still pierced their ears instantly, causing several people to experience tinnitus for two to three seconds.

However, thanks to Jiang Ruan's healing magic, there was no major problem.

"Damn, there are so many! We would be exhausted if we relied solely on our superpowers. Thank goodness we have heavy weapons. This is so great!"

The shells had just landed and exploded, and in the brightly lit space, a group of zombies, nearly a hundred in number, could be clearly seen gathering.

“Alright, with such a loud noise, someone will probably be inspecting soon. Let’s take out their crystals and leave as soon as possible. We can’t linger and cause any trouble,” Jiang Ruan said without hesitation.

"Yes, understood, let's get started immediately." Zhang Yang was the first to comply, and then the other three joined the team to collect the crystals. In just over five minutes, they had collected all the crystals and handed them to Jiang Ruan.

"No need to give it to me, just keep it for your own upgrades. Let's go!"

Immediately afterwards, the group left quickly, leaving no trace except for the zombies scattered all over the ground.

This also led to Xiao's father being quite surprised when he received the information the next day.

"What did you say? They're all dead? The zombies that were harassing the city gates and trying to break through the electric fence, are they all dead?" Xiao's father still felt something was wrong while holding the situation report and photos in his hand, so he looked up and asked again.

Upon hearing his subordinate's resolute reply, he burst into laughter, "Hahaha, I never imagined that the zombie scourge I'd been worrying about for so many days would be resolved so quickly. It's truly astonishing. Have you found out the cause? Who was responsible, and what methods did they use?"

The subordinate remained silent, hesitating for a long time before finally speaking after repeated questioning from Xiao's father, "Yes, it's a 155mm howitzer!"

Mr. Xiao's body trembled violently as he said, "What did you say? Say it again!"

The subordinate was terrified, but still gritted his teeth and repeated it again, "It's... a 155mm howitzer, the kind of shells we can't find no matter how hard we try, and we can't buy them even with countless amounts of money. Someone here used it, bringing it in and taking it away easily, without leaving a trace."

The subordinate spoke softer and softer, eventually falling silent under Xiao's father's gaze.
