Chapter 218 Big Trouble

Meng Shiwan said solemnly, "Listen to me, as of now, we know nothing about the Zombie King. None of the superhumans who came in before have been able to leave. We must be careful."

"You possess time-manipulation abilities. In the event of something irreversible and causing massive casualties, you can immediately reverse time and save everyone's lives. Since it's a matter of life and death, we must be fully prepared."

Ye Sangyu held the thin liquid that enhances superpowers in her hand, but she couldn't feel excited at all; instead, she was very serious.

She and this power-enhancing fluid carried the lives of dozens of other ability users present.

"Sister, I understand."

The cave was narrow, and her voice wasn't loud, but many people walking in front heard her and turned around to look.

They never expected that Meng Shiwan, who was ruthless in killing last night, would consider the lives of everyone today.

For a moment, they didn't know how to view Meng Shiwan. Was she a good person? Or a ruthless one? Whatever she was, there was no doubt that she was a four-elemental ability user and very strong.

Meng Shiwan said to everyone, "Once we're out of the cave, everyone must stay at least 25 meters away from Ye Sangyu. Keep her in the middle to ensure her safety. She is your last lifeline."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Regardless of any past conflicts or disagreements, they now share only one goal: to return alive.

Hunting the zombie king is important, but staying alive is even more important.

After clearing the last section of the mountain, rainwater from outside flowed into the tunnel.

They cautiously entered the acid rain, huddled together, vigilantly observing their surroundings, fearing a sneak attack from the zombie king.

The rain was torrential, visibility was poor, and everything around us was drowned out by the sound of the rain.

Limited vision and hearing added to the sense of panic for everyone.

The group gathered together and slowly walked along the stone path into the valley.

The valley is flat and wide on all sides, making it even more dangerous.

Hehehe~

A jumble of sounds, faint and indistinct amidst the rain, could easily be overlooked if one did not listen carefully.

Wu Ming stood in front of Ye Sangyu and Meng Shiwan, then suddenly stopped. "Don't move."

For a moment, everyone fell silent and stood still.

Ye Sangyu and Meng Shiwan, one with a time-manipulation ability and the other with a healing ability, were surrounded by the crowd, while the others formed a ring, vigilantly watching all directions.

Hehehe~

The chaotic sounds grew louder and clearer.

Wu Ming said gravely, "This sound sounds like a zombie horde, but this is a valley. The nearest town is where we live, and the zombies there have already been cleared out. Any zombies from more distant cities, if summoned by the Zombie King, would definitely pass through those towns, and we would have noticed their movements."

But before this, we hadn't seen any zombies coming this way; there couldn't possibly be a zombie horde in this valley.

"It really sounds like zombies, and there are so many of them."

"Look, what's that?"

As they looked around, they discovered that the previously dark surroundings were suddenly filled with a dense blackness surging towards them from all directions.

Only when these dark figures got closer could they be seen clearly.

It's a zombie horde.

They swarmed from all directions, and their speed was much faster than that of ordinary zombies. In the blink of an eye, they had already attacked.

"It's a ghost."

Someone cursed, and everyone quickly responded, unleashing their superpowers to kill large numbers of zombies.

Unfortunately, these zombies were incredibly fast. Just as they carved out a safe zone, the zombie horde surged back into their path like a tidal wave.

They could only keep using their superpowers to resist with all their might, and could only manage to keep the zombies away from them.

Wu Ming cursed, "Are these zombies blessed by the Zombie King? They're fast, powerful, and hard to deal with."

"Our superpowers are being used up too quickly; this can't go on forever."

"We came here to kill the zombie king, but now we can't even handle this horde of zombies. We were too confident in our abilities."

While they resisted, some even managed to make a wry smile and joke.

Meng Shiwan stood in the middle of the crowd, unleashing her lightning-based superpower. With her current strength, each time she used it, lightning would spread everywhere, capable of directly killing zombies within a radius of several thousand meters.

With a single move, a small portion of the closing zombie horde was wiped out.

Within sight, there wasn't a single zombie still standing, greatly reducing their stress.

Everyone turned to look at Meng Shiwan upon seeing this scene, their faces full of surprise.

That attack power is too strong! What level of superhuman is that strong?

The combined attack power of all of them was actually less than that of this little girl.

They were curious, so Ye Sangyu asked the question for them first.

She stared with wide eyes, her voice trembling slightly, "Sister, what level are you? You're so strong!"

Meng Shiwan continued to unleash her supernatural abilities, wiping out another large group, reaching "Level Seven".

"Holy crap, a high-level superhuman?" Ye Sangyu felt a tingling sensation.

I don't know if I was numb from being shocked by Meng Shiwan, or from the shock of the gun I was using to shoot the zombies.

Becoming a Level 6 ability user is actually not difficult; all you need are twelve doses of ability enhancement fluid.

But it wasn't easy for Ye Sangyu either, because she needed 12,000 crystal cores, which was no small amount.

However, to become a level seven ability user, one needs to drink 112 doses of ability enhancement liquid. How many crystal cores would that require?

Despite being tricked by Wu Ming, Meng Shiwan was still able to afford more than a hundred bottles of ability-enhancing liquid. Ye Sangyu couldn't figure out Meng Shiwan's background or how she could get so many crystal cores.

Could he be a relative of one of the senior executives at the seed base? That would make obtaining the ability-enhancing fluid easier.

The others were also bewildered when they saw Meng Shiwan make her move.

Advanced superhumans are indeed extraordinary, terrifying indeed.

No wonder they see Meng Shiwan acting so arrogantly; she's not just a four-elemental ability user, but a level seven ability user.

If they had that ability, they would be even more arrogant than Meng Shiwan.

"I'm speechless now. I'd like to respectfully address you as 'Big Boss'."

"We thought we were the best of the best in the apocalypse, with superpowers and resources. But compared to this, we're nothing at all."

"Let's hurry up and kill the zombies. This isn't the time to talk. We can discuss everything outside. With the big boss around, I feel much more at ease."

But soon, Meng Shiwan's words made them uneasy.

"Aren't these zombies a bit too strong?"

She watched helplessly as the vast vacuum zone she had just cleared, spanning several kilometers, was once again engulfed by zombies in less than a minute.

This speed was absolutely unprecedented.

She now has a true understanding of that statement.

No matter how powerful a superhuman is, they will eventually be worn down and killed by a large enough horde of zombies.

"This is a huge problem."

Given this situation, it's questionable whether they can even clear out this zombie horde, let alone defeat the zombie king.
