"I'll go too. If anything goes wrong along the way, I can cover for you!"

Seeing Chen Jin speak up, Lu Nan wasn't about to be outdone, "I can help you analyze the situation and find the most suitable fighting method. It won't hurt to bring me along."

When Cheng Sheng heard that everyone was going, wouldn't he be the only one left? That was terrifying!

She quickly raised her hand, "Me too! Me too! You can't abandon me!"

Lin Xi smiled helplessly, "There's really no need for such a big fuss."

Jiang Chuan ignored him and said, "Then everyone go."

Cheng Sheng glanced at Jiang Chuan, then looked up at the sky. When did they get a captain? How come she didn't know?

However, in the days to come, she will get more and more used to this unofficial but exceptionally reliable captain.

After the car left the garage and turned left, it passed an abandoned traffic light and came to a subway station entrance.

Jiang Chuan frowned. "Are you sure there are mid-level zombies here?"

It's no wonder Jiang Chuan was suspicious; after all, the subway network is extensive, with two or three entrances and exits at each station, making it easy to disperse the flow of people.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan instantly realized something was wrong! If the carriage was sealed, everyone inside would likely have perished and turned into zombies.

In this situation, it is not impossible for mid-level zombies to emerge.

At this moment, Lin Xi's voice rang out, "I think it is, let's go take a look."

Jiang Chuan skillfully set up and turned on the stereo.

The subway station was not a good place to hide, so they could only hide in the public restroom and observe the outside through the crack in the door.

"How strange." Chen Jin peered through the crack in the door.

Others naturally noticed it as well.

There's nothing there!

Something's not right. There should be at least a few ordinary zombies.

Cheng Sheng asked doubtfully, "Is there really no zombie at all?"

Jiang Chuan stood a little further back with his arms crossed. "Let's wait a bit longer. If there's really no other place, let's try another one."

Lin Xi nodded.

Lu Nan leaned against the sink, his hands supporting him, his head slightly lowered as he stared at his toes, lost in thought.

Ten minutes later, it was still very quiet outside.

Jiang Chuan glanced at Lin Xi, "There's no other way, let's go somewhere else."

Lin Xi nodded.

Cheng Sheng opened the door, and Jiang Chuan walked around the two people at the door to turn off the stereo.

[Danger Warning: Three stars.]

Lin Xi quickly moved to Jiang Chuan's side, when a young man wearing a white T-shirt and shorts struck her from the side.

Lin Xi kicked his hand away with a high kick.

Good evening, superhumans.

His voice was clear and bright, carrying the vigor of a young man.

Jiang Chuan also realized what was happening and drew his long sword. "I didn't expect there to actually be a mid-level zombie here!"

"What are you looking at?" the zombie asked curiously.

Jiang Chuan withdrew his gaze from the surroundings and coldly questioned, "Where are your accomplices?"

The zombie in front of him frowned, trying very hard to understand the meaning of the word.

"Oh~ you mean those other zombies? They're too weak, they're not worthy of my command." As he spoke, he rubbed his stomach with one hand, a simple and harmless smile on his face.

Cheng Sheng whispered to Chen Jin next to him, "Judging from this body, he was probably only in his first year of high school when he died."

She looked regretful, and Chen Jin's eyes were filled with heartache.

Lu Nan stared intently at the mid-level zombie.

The two sides quickly became entangled again.

"Left shoulder!"

Lin Xi looked up and saw it was Lu Nan!

He was reporting the zombie's weaknesses.

Jiang Chuan focused his mind, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

Sure enough, the mid-level zombie paused the moment the dark elemental mass exploded on his left shoulder.

However, it was clear that this zombie had a dulled sense of pain, and he recovered in just a few seconds.

"Right fist!" Lu Nan's tone was much more urgent this time.

The next second, the mid-level zombie's fist shot out, almost touching Jiang Chuan's eyelashes.

A small hand gripped the zombie's wrist tightly.

The mid-level zombie seemed not to have realized what was happening. He turned his head in surprise, saw her, and his expression turned cold.

Jiang Chuan immediately reacted, drew his long sword, and Lin Xi, holding that hand, took a few steps back.

It actually broke!

Lin Xi tossed the severed hand away with a hint of disgust. The zombie was enraged and stared at Jiang Chuan's knife with increasingly fierce eyes!

The next second, the two of them were locked in combat.

Cheng Sheng swallowed hard. "Didn't they say Jiang Chuan wasn't good at close combat?"

Chen Jin crossed his arms, looking relaxed. "Who told you Jiang Chuan isn't good at close combat?"

"Many newcomers say that you are good at close combat, while Jiang Chuan is good at ranged attacks."

Chen Jin smiled and said, "That should be corrected. It should be said that Jiang Chuan is better at ranged attacks than close combat, but in fact, his close combat skills are not much worse than mine. After all, Wenwen said that he used to practice swordsmanship and he does have some real skills."

Cheng Sheng looked horrified. "Who is Wenwen?"

Chen Jin blushed, inexplicably feeling shy. "My girlfriend."

Cheng Sheng's attention was successfully diverted. How ridiculous! How can such a grown man blush when talking about his girlfriend?

Lu Nan stood at the toilet door, intently watching the situation before him.

He suddenly felt lost; no matter how he deduced the results of the simulation, it always seemed like they would win.

Are Lin Xi and Jiang Chuan really that strong? Strong enough to handle mid-level zombies on their own?

He is of no use here anymore.

In his frustration, his thoughts drifted away. If he had had that ability back then, perhaps he and his sister wouldn't have had to die!

Lu Nan unconsciously clenched his fists.

They're right. We've been using the most foolish methods all along, seemingly solving the problem, but the problem is still there!

Because he has been avoiding the issue all along.

Therefore, as Yuncai said, if he were to encounter such a situation once and allow it to continue unchecked, there would be a third, a fourth, and countless more times.

He's incompetent!

Jiang Chuan had already stopped and retreated to the entrance of the public restroom. Chen Jin helped him up, asking, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head, "Lin Xi said she wanted to do it herself, I almost forgot."

Lu Nan remained silent, but still refused to miss a single detail of the battlefield.

Lin Xi's close combat skills are unmatched by any other level four earth-elemental enhancement! Even her speed and physical strength are comparable to those of a mid-level zombie.

Moreover, it was obvious that Lin Xi was very skilled in close combat, and it was clear that he had practiced countless times.

With the final blow, Lin Xi's fist struck the zombie's head. Lu Nan could only watch helplessly as the zombie's eyes gradually lost their luster, and its head drooped...

[Task completed, reward 200 points.]

After Lin Xi took the crystal core, she helped Jiang Chuan put the speaker away again.

I thought to myself, "This stuff is great, I wonder if Jiang Chuan has any more..."

Cheng Sheng was astonished. Was this really a novice? She had clearly reached the Silver Badge level much earlier than Lin Xi and the others, but if she were to fight a mid-level zombie herself…

Thinking of this, she shuddered again. Her chances of surviving were about 50/50 compared to the zombies!

These newcomers are quite formidable!
