Lin Xi, whose consciousness was in a state of confusion, felt something was strange. Her thoughts were becoming increasingly chaotic. What did it mean to receive 200 points back? And why did her superpower upgrade?

It felt like countless little people were fighting in my head, chaotic and incredibly painful.

She was dizzy and disoriented. She barely opened her eyes, and suddenly a bright light appeared in her white vision. Her numb body finally felt the scorching heat. Several figures rushed into her blurry vision.

Several muffled groans rang out, the hoarse voices filled with suppressed pain.

what happened?

It felt like there were countless hands pulling at the person in my mind.

The buzzing in my ears gradually subsided...

The sounds from all around were faint: the sounds of bombing, the sounds of burning flames, and the sounds of fighting...

As their vision cleared, they saw four figures entangled, but the side with more people was clearly at a disadvantage.

Click—

It sounded like bones breaking.

A severed hand was flung over, its cold fingertips poking right into Lin Xi's face.

[Ding! Upgrade complete. Mind Control, Level 6; Soul Search, Level 5.]

She took a deep breath, and her numb limbs finally regained their movement.

It felt like a warm current was slowly flowing through my body, coursing through every corner of my bloodstream.

The pain gradually disappeared.

She finally opened her eyes, picked up the severed limb beside her, and stood up.

Whose hand is this...?

The flames of the level seven fire-type ability user seemed to have a mind of their own, moving among the three at tricky angles.

Chen Jin and Jiang Chuan's clothes were charred black, and even a small part of their hair was burned off. They looked as disheveled as could be.

There was another figure, limping, with one sleeve hanging empty.

Lin Xi felt as if someone had grabbed her heart.

Waiter...

The three of them turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes, which had turned gray, suddenly shone brightly.

"Lin Xi!"

Among the three voices, there was surprise, worry, and a deep sense of powerlessness.

Almost simultaneously, everyone shouted at her, "Run!"

Although I don't know the specifics, my superpower has at least reached level six.

The level seven ability user frowned, somewhat puzzled as to why someone who had just been on the verge of death had suddenly become full of energy again.

In the blink of an eye, the three who thought they were doomed opened their eyes again and found themselves out of the range of the flames, sitting on a relatively clean patch of ground.

A cool breeze was blowing on the rooftop, and the temperature in the air suddenly dropped by nearly twenty degrees.

Lin Xi squatted down and touched Xiao Er's broken arm, her fingers trembling slightly and her eyes reddening.

The waiter grinned, patted Lin Xi's head with his other hand, and then shook his head, "Roar! Roar!"

Having spent so much time with him, Lin Xi naturally understood what he meant: It won't hurt, you won't die!

"Leave the rest to me." Lin Xi turned to reassure his two companions before turning back to look at the level seven fire-type ability user behind him.

She now has the full ability to use her level six mental control powers to make him lose consciousness and then die painlessly in a state of unconsciousness.

But that would be too easy on him.

—Searching for souls, constructing dreams.

The new skill unlocked at level 5.

The level seven ability user felt his vision blur for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, the three people who had been sitting in the distance had vanished without a trace.

"Where did you send them?" he demanded sternly.

Lin Xi did not answer him.

For some reason, the girl's overly indifferent expression made him feel a little uneasy.

The terrifying speed, like that of a high-level zombie, made him change his expression.

Just as he was about to look up and continue to activate his superpower, a cracking sound came from his wrist, and a sharp pain shot through him. He gritted his teeth, and his veins bulged!

The bones are broken!

The little girl in front of me had an innocent-looking face, but the coldness in her eyes was so real it seemed about to drip.

He refrained from shouting and continued to activate his supernatural power with his other hand.

However, the active energy in my body seemed to have disappeared, and apart from the wind in my ears, there was only a deathly silence.

His expression changed drastically instantly. "Where's my power? What did you do to it?"

He pinched the "Lin Xi" in front of him with an agitated expression.

The girl, who had just looked innocent and harmless, curled her lips into a smile, revealing sharp fangs.

He yelled and shook off his hand.

Who knew that the little girl they had just been pinching had turned into a wooden puppet, and the rooftop was now completely empty.

Sitting to the side, Chen Jin wondered, "Why is this person shouting and yelling at thin air?"

Jiang Chuan glanced at Lin Xi, who stood to the side with a calm expression. In his usually gentle smiling eyes, there was a hint of cruelty that was not easily detected.

He looked away. "Maybe he's gone mad."

Lin Xi slowly walked over, grabbed the man's wrist, and applied slight pressure.

Another scream of intense pain rang out; this time, his wrist was truly broken.

Still trapped in the nightmare created by Lin Xi, the level seven fire-type ability user felt pain a thousand times clearer than before and knelt down with a thud.

Xiao Er looked on in confusion, wondering what Lao San was doing.

Lin Xi squatted down, gestured on the superhuman's right arm, and squeezed it hard again.

The sky suddenly darkened.

An arm was thrown to the waiter, who picked it up, glanced at his own severed arm, and compared it to the one he had just lost. It was exactly the same length!

He bared his teeth, seemingly understanding that the third brother was standing up for him.

The fire-type ability user was writhing on the ground in excruciating pain.

His eyes were still tightly closed, clearly unable to escape from the nightmare for the time being.

Chen Jin swallowed hard, watching as Lin Xi pulled out a lighter from somewhere and lit a small, bright flame on the man's clothes.

He kicked him twice, breaking his leg bones, before turning back.

"Can you still walk?"

Jiang Chuan nodded, and Chen Jin's face also turned pale, but he still stood up while leaning against the wall.

"Let's hurry down to the dungeon."

Upon hearing this, the waiter, holding his two severed hands, started laughing again.

"Big sister is here too?"

The waiter nodded hastily.

"Based on the information we gathered earlier, there should be two more Level 7 ability users in the computer." The pricking sensation in Lin Xi's head hadn't completely dissipated. "You guys go downstairs first, I need to go downstairs to save my dad."

Lin Xi clenched her fists tightly, trying to suppress the feeling.

While Jiang Chuan and the others were resting, they had already taken the medicine and their strength had mostly recovered. They nodded, knowing that this matter could not be delayed.

Xiao Er didn't go with them; instead, he followed Lin Xi around, carrying his two severed hands.

The eldest sister said to protect the third brother well, so he'd better stay close!

Lin Xi kept walking forward without daring to look back.

His throat was already damaged, rendering him unable to speak. Who knew that in their third encounter, Xiao Er would lose his hand while saving him? For zombies, this meant a significant reduction in his fighting ability...
