As they talked, they moved quickly, encountering several more groups of patients along the way.

However, these diseased individuals were annihilated as easily as if they were being swept away by so many awakened ones.

Before long, they approached the headquarters.

Everyone was delighted when they saw the enormous headquarters building.

However, their expressions quickly turned serious.

The headquarters building was covered in damage, and even the ground was scarred.

It seems they've been through a major battle.

However, the headquarters was completely quiet at this moment, and there was no sign of a battle.

Tyrone and Lin Xiao exchanged a glance, and Lin Xiao said, "I'll go first..."

Before he could finish speaking, footsteps suddenly came from the mist not far away.

Everyone tensed up and looked in the direction of the footsteps.

Before long, four figures emerged from the mist.

The leader was Liu Qiang, an Awakened One whom Lu Ning had met before.

Upon seeing Liu Qiang, Lin Xiao was taken aback: "Old Liu, you're only arriving now?"

Liu Qiang and the other three Awakened Ones ran over quickly. He nodded and said, "Yes, how is the situation at headquarters now?"

However, before Lin Xiao could speak, Lu Ning fired a bullet from the red rose in his hand.

The roaring sound startled all the awakened free spirits and Tyrone, causing them to stare wide-eyed in astonishment.

Lin Xiao and the others, who knew Lu Ning, all tensed up and watched Liu Qiang and his group warily.

The next moment, they saw Liu Qiang being knocked backward and sent flying, with a hideous wound on his chest.

However, instead of bleeding from the wound, there were clumps of white wax flowing around it.

Lu Ning remained calm and continued firing at Liu Qiang, who was lying on the ground.

However, at that moment, Liu Qiang's body suddenly turned into clumps of twisted white wax.

These white waxes are incredibly tough; bullets landing on them didn't cause much damage.
