"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual here." He Chao looked at the building in front of him, and there was no sound coming from upstairs.

Lin Xi's senses were much stronger than others, and the faint footsteps on the second floor still reached her ears clearly.

She gestured for everyone to be quiet.

"Two mid-level zombies, can you kill them?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yunlong replied, "I should be able to kill one."

"Okay, I'll take the other one."

The group crouched low as they went upstairs, moving with extreme care, not daring to make the slightest noise.

Lin Xi was in the same boat. The main reason was that Brother Long and the others had not undergone systematic and rigorous training. If they accidentally alerted the zombies above, she alone could not guarantee that she could immediately control the situation.

Pushing open the door, a dozen or so zombies were drowsy, including the ordinary zombies.

They exchanged glances, all feeling a bit strange.

However, the moment she opened the door, Lin Xi smelled a faint odor of gas in the air.

Looking at the group of zombies again, she had a bold guess in her mind.

Could these zombies have suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning?

Thinking of this, she quickly reminded everyone to cover their mouths and noses.

He Chao quickly said, "Then Brother Long, you'd better not use your superpowers later, it might explode."

Zhao Yunlong was stunned, and he couldn't take another step. If he couldn't use his superpowers, wouldn't he become a cripple?

"How about we try a different approach?" Lin Xi suggested. "Instead of all of us going down, Brother Long can unleash his powers down there, and we can come back up after the second floor is blown up."

He Chao looked up, his eyes wide. "Yeah, how come I didn't think of that?"

Jiang Ling turned her head away helplessly; she simply couldn't bear to look. This child was ridiculously stupid.

"Let's keep it a bit further away; I don't feel safe at this distance."

How far will the blast radius extend?

Lin Xi thought for a moment, then took a few steps back. "Come here. Can your ability attack targets this far away?"

Zhao Yunlong nodded, "Level four, don't underestimate your brother Long."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Yeah! Good luck!"

He Chao and Jiang Ling also retreated to the back. The next second, a huge ball of fire streaked through the air, leaving a red trail, and rushed directly into the second floor.

An explosion rang out, and the remains of a wooden, intricately carved window on the second floor fell down, engulfed in flames.

The screams came, from sharp and intense to quiet, the whole process taking less than five minutes.

He Chao used his ice-based superpowers to extinguish the fire and cool down the second floor.

After obtaining the crystal core, they were clearly surprised, "Can this really be done?"

"Not entirely. Favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships are all indispensable."

If it weren't for the fact that they happened to have a fire-type ability user, the opportunity to detonate the fire would not have been possible. Fortunately, He Chao also had an ice-type ability user, so he was able to quickly extinguish the fire and cool it down.

Besides, not every zombie hideout has gas; let's analyze each situation individually.

Lin Xi had two extra tasks, and because she felt guilty for not being able to return the car on time, she said this with a bit of unease.

"Brother Long, I have a favor to ask."

Zhao Yunlong said cheerfully, "Just say what you want to say directly. Why are you giving me all this 'invitation' stuff?"

"Borrow a car."

"Xiao Xi, are you leaving so soon?" Jiang Ling and He Chao immediately became alert.

"No, no, no! I promise I'll return the car quickly this time. If all goes well, it can be done this afternoon." Lin Xi looked annoyed. "I have a car, did you forget? I just took the same route when I came out with you and forgot I had my own car."

"Hey, it's not a big deal. Just the fact that you were willing to send us food when we didn't even know each other before is enough to make me risk my life without batting an eye."

However, Zhao Yunlong became even more curious when she said she wanted to borrow the car again, "But what are you going to do with it?"

"Our Wind Eagle Regiment's mission is to wipe out one or two zombie hideouts. It's quite close, so I don't plan to go back to get the car."

The room fell silent after he said that.

Eradicate one or two zombie hideouts? Why does it sound like such an easy thing to her to say?

However, when people think about her "heroic act" when they reunite, everyone seems to understand.

The fact that Lin Xi was able to kill three mid-level zombies single-handedly shows that his strength is far superior to theirs.

Zhao Yunlong said, "It's not really realistic for us to walk back. Why don't we go and observe?"

"It's not impossible, but you might have to be positioned a bit further apart."

He Chao's eyes lit up.

Being able to watch Lin Xi kill a mid-level zombie again is as exciting as watching your favorite gamer play a match.

In the end, instead of returning to the safe zone, they went with Lin Xi to her other two mission locations.

"Wow, that's amazing! Xiao Xi, you're like you have GPS in your brain now!" He Chao was sitting in the passenger seat, while Lin Xi was driving.

He remembered that Lin Xi wasn't like this before! She used to be terrible with directions.

Lin Xi sighed helplessly, "Life forces me to turn a hopelessly directionally challenged person into a human GPS."

"Xiao Xi, why don't you just not go back to the Wind Eagle Gang?"

Lin Xi saw the heartache in Jiang Ling's eyes in the rearview mirror. "What's wrong with that? Aren't I getting better and better? Besides, Sister Ling, have you forgotten my original goal?"

"Any news?"

“I found a clue a few days ago, and I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that I’m about to meet my dad.”

Jiang Ling smiled and said, "Perhaps it's telepathy. Yes, everything will be alright."

The once glamorous and charming Sister Ling's hair had been neglected for too long; her beautiful waves had turned into long, straight black hair, which she meticulously tied into a low ponytail.

A hint of tenderness lingered in her eyes and brows.

Lin Xi hadn't noticed it before, but now that she looked closely, she realized that Sister Ling had really changed a lot.

"Don't worry, the current difficulties will be resolved one day, and we will definitely be able to continue living together as neighbors someday in the future."

"Then remember next time, don't live too far from our building; it's hard to climb," He Chao quickly added.

Zhao Yunlong laughed heartily, "Alright! We'll live on the same floor then, and we can visit each other every day. I'll even make you hot pot!"

"That won't do, it's too monotonous, I want a seafood feast!"

"Be careful of gout."

"I don't care..."

Do you eat seafood feasts every day?

"May I?"

"Isn't this pretty monotonous?"

"Where is it monotonous? There are so many kinds of seafood..."

As everyone worked together to plan for the future, Lin Xi looked ahead, listening to their laughter and chatter, and couldn't help but smile.

The road ahead was bright and wide, and even with the wind and frost, all the cold was dispelled the moment the sun came out.

The warm light, like a mother's embrace, enveloped everyone from all directions.

The car stopped.

There was another large shopping mall in front of me.
