He just can't reveal his identity and abilities yet. It's not that he doesn't trust Jiang Ruan; he's afraid that she'll hate him because of it.

He remembered that she particularly hated zombies, so she would hate him even more for being able to control them.

Just as he was lost in thought, Jiang Ruan's voice came over, "Gu An, have you ever been to this police station before?"

After she finished speaking, she thought for a moment and realized that her question sounded a bit impolite, like asking someone, "Have you ever committed a crime?" So she quickly changed her question, "What I mean is, have you been here before for any business?"

She felt something was off about the place. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but the walls seemed unusually dark, as if they had been repainted and the paint had been deliberately chosen to cover up the marks.

This person's skills may not be very good; there are quite a few flaws in the appearance.

"I've never been here before." Gu An's tone was somewhat lower than before, and a sense of suppressed emotion welled up, making Jiang Ruan immediately feel that her question was rather abrupt.

“It doesn’t matter, it’s nothing. It’s just that I feel this wall is a bit flimsy, and…” Jiang Ruan paused. She heard an echo from the sound of her tapping on the wall. The sound was low and the echo lasted only a short time, which meant that the wall might be hollow or had loose materials in the middle.

Her gaze shifted slightly as she glanced at Gu An, weighing whether to use her offensive abilities.

As she was thinking, Gu An pulled her aside, gestured with his foot, and kicked her away.

"Ah...you know what I mean, you heard me too?" Jiang Ruan looked at Gu An incredulously, a sense of guilt welling up in her heart. She was just weighing the pros and cons, but thinking about it, he was a reborn person, he should know her abilities.

There's really no need to hide anything.

With this realization, she suddenly felt much lighter inside.

"I understand what you mean. I'll handle this!" Gu An smiled indulgently, a hint of something deeper that Jiang Ruan couldn't decipher on his face.

Just now, Gu An kicked him down, and what was exposed was indeed a huge hole, a giant cube that was two meters by two meters in size.

Jiang Ruan took out a flashlight from her backpack and shone it inside, but couldn't see anything. It was pitch black, and shining the flashlight inside was completely useless; it was like being blind.

"What kind of cave is this? It's so strange!" After trying several times with the same result, Jiang Ruan lost patience and decided to go inside first, hoping to use her supernatural abilities to provide light.

"I don't know, let's go in and take a look!" Gu An had the same idea. The two of them walked carefully inside, shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand.

With a "whoosh!" sound, the surrounding scenery became crystal clear. Apart from the bare walls, the sound of flowing water could be heard not far away.

Jiang Ruan looked at Gu An, who had brought the light, and smiled knowingly. She gripped his hand tighter and felt more relaxed. However, her eyes never stopped darting around.

"A metal-type ability user. I didn't expect this ability to actually be used as a flashlight. It looks quite interesting and very practical."

Gu An chuckled softly, then suddenly pulled Jiang Ruan into his arms.

"You..." Jiang Ruan was caught off guard by the sudden movement. She looked at him with shock and confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Don't move, there's a sound!" Gu An pointed to the place they were about to approach, which was blocked by a door that looked very cheap. A faint light was coming from there. Gu An casually extinguished the light in his hand, grabbed Jiang Ruan, and started walking forward.

"!!!"

Jiang Ruan followed, her footsteps very light, and the two of them concealed themselves and listened carefully.

"I'm asking you, is this deal even possible? What did they say? Are there any further requirements?" The voice was that of a man, weathered yet steady, even tinged with weariness.

"Ugh, if you ask me, why didn't we just stay here quietly? Why did we have to provoke those zombies? Now look what's happened! Not only have they destroyed our stuff, but we've also gained a lot of trouble from hostile forces. I don't know what we were thinking!"

This is another man's voice, but unlike the previous one, this one sounds younger and more immature.

"What's the point of saying all that? Where are Phantoms? They haven't replied yet."

The aged voice belonged to Ding Jingshan, who had recently partnered with Phantom to lure the zombies over and buy a batch of goods from them.

The three of them were brothers. After the apocalypse, they had no money and no awareness of hoarding, so they were homeless and even the government was too lazy to help them.

As a result, after they robbed similar goods and committed all sorts of bad deeds, they were arrested by the police and sentenced to fifteen years in prison for the seriousness of their crimes.

As a result, these people were not at peace even after being arrested, because they had unintentionally awakened superpowers. All three of them were earth-type superpower users.

Because they awakened all at once, they attracted the attention of the Phantom, who planned to use them as their inside agents to attract more zombies, then gather them up and store them in the cellar they had dug, preparing to build a zombie army to achieve their ulterior motives.

This time, they had just moved some of the zombies away when a large group of well-trained men in black arrived and took the rest of the zombies away.

The quantities were all calculated beforehand, but now that some have been stolen, there's no way to explain it to Phantom.

Although they reported the situation, they haven't received any news yet. Their abilities are enough to deal with a few zombies, but if the zombies below all come up, the three of them will definitely be in trouble.

"Oh no, what do we do now? All the messages we sent them have gone unanswered. We're doomed."

The one speaking was the young man whose voice had sounded somewhat immature earlier. His name was Ding Jingyan, and he was the third child in his family.

"What can we do? We'll just do what we have to do. At worst, we'll just abandon them and focus on escaping. We can't just stay here and die in the shadow of these zombies. We're not stupid!" said Ding Jingli, the second brother.

He remained silent from the very beginning. Usually, he was the most resourceful, but now he was at a loss and could only listen to the roars of the zombies below, feeling anxious and helpless.

"Big brother, tell us, we'll all listen to you. Give us a straight answer, whether to stay or leave. Second brother and I will follow you."

Ding Jingyan spat out the cigarette he was holding and stomped it under his feet, displaying a self-sacrificing spirit that suggested he was willing to risk his life for it.

"Damn it, Phantom! I can't let my brothers suffer with me. We'll wait another half hour. If we don't hear anything soon, we'll move out and leave. With this superpower, we won't die anywhere."

Ding Jingshan jumped up from his chair with a serious expression.
