◎Conscience? What happened to conscience?◎
Man: "..." Wow, how embarrassing and shy is this?!
"Help Lao Wang back home," someone behind him said, unable to bear it any longer. He stood up and waved his hands. "He can't even move. Stay out of this."
Two villagers picked up the man and walked out of the crowd, leaving in a tragic manner.
"You were able to wake up from the hallucination. You're not ordinary people, are you? You're people with special abilities?" The man squinted his eyes, his face full of ill intentions. "Are you someone sent from there?"
A large group of people looked at each other in confusion. Finally, Yan Jue took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Rong Xiao in the front row. "Yes, we are here to understand the situation."
Recalling what the girl had said before, Yan Jue had a bold guess in his mind.
Someone is conducting experiments on the people in the village.
The purpose of the experiment is to artificially awaken superpowers.
"But, isn't it time yet?" the man asked doubtfully. "Isn't it once every two months?"
Yan Jue raised his chin, his expression confident and even a bit arrogant. "The experimental procedures need to be adjusted according to the specific circumstances. I don't need to explain this to you, right? You just need to cooperate."
"Cooperate, of course," the man nodded and sneered, "But where are our things and supplies?"
"Cooperate first, and the things will be delivered immediately after the work is done."
"Can we go ahead..."
Yan Jue interrupted coldly: "Don't try to test me, this is how it was arranged before."
The man suddenly fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.
He really wanted to test Yan Jue's identity in return.
But Yan Jue had already considered all the details and roughly guessed the significance of this group of people.
This group of people might be related to the organization that wants to capture Rong Xiao, and they have close contacts with each other.
Before tracking down the black box, Yan Jue and his team had already been investigating information about this organization, but... at first he didn't expect that it was also related to Rong Xiao.
The existence of the black box seems to confirm a speculation.
Yan Jue suspected that this organization was conducting some kind of experiments, including on the people in this village.
A cautious and ambitious mysterious organization that will always prioritize its own interests in everything it does to ensure its absolute advantage and safety.
How could they give the materials for exchange to the villagers before the goal was achieved?
Yan Jue firmly believed in his analysis and speculation.
Overwhelmed by Yan Jue's aura, the man was quiet for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Where's the badge?"
An emblem representing an organization.
Rong Xiao vaguely knew that the matter was serious, but he was not nervous yet. However, Shangguan Yu and Long Qingyu next to him became nervous after analyzing the development of the matter in their hearts.
If I can't hand over this item that represents my identity, no matter what excuse I make... it will be difficult to explain.
Yan Jue raised an eyebrow and looked sideways towards the door of the shed: "Why don't you bring it over?"
"Coming." Lao Wei responded, took off his backpack with a pink bunny hanging on it, and took out... a round badge from it.
The metal badge was very heavy. Rong Xiao recognized the symbol there. He had gotten it out of him by torturing someone when he threw him into the zombie playground at the base.
The edge of the round badge is a circle of diamonds, with a lightning bolt standing upright in the middle, and a dot at the top. In the middle of the lightning bolt is a pointed oval that looks like a vertical pupil.
Lao Wei walked forward, opened his palm and showed the badge to the man. The man reached out to touch it suspiciously, but before he could do so, Lao Wei immediately took the thing away.
When Lao Wei returned to the back, Tian Yichuan poked him with his elbow and said, "Lao Wei, where did you collect this from?"
"Ah, no, it's Yan..." Before Lao Wei could finish his words, Ling Xuting next to him immediately looked over.
"Old Wei."
As if giving a reminder, Lao Wei stopped talking and remained as quiet as a robot.
Tian Yichuang asked curiously several times, but Lao Wei didn't even lower his head, and continued to stare at the front without saying a word.
Shangguan Yu, who blended into the crowd at the back, took his half-finished answer to heart.
After looking at the badge, the man seemed relieved. He folded his hands and asked, "What are you going to do this time?"
"Of course it's a new experiment, a new stage of the experiment." Yan Jue took out his bag and pulled out a plate... a whole plate of potions. "Call those who have awakened their powers to line up. The others will stand aside for the time being. We will take samples separately later."
From a distance, Rong Xiao recognized that the small glass bottle without any label should contain the potion that could make super powers disappear.
At this moment, there are still quite a few in Lingxi's space.
Even though Yan Jue hadn't said anything before, Rong Xiao was still tempted by him and knew that he was going to do something interesting again.
Rong Xiao ran up to him, squatted beside him and looked at him eagerly.
When the man saw Rong Xiao, he thought of the villagers she had kicked and left them unable to move. He frowned and asked, "This..."
"Oh, she's here to protect me," Yan Jue said, raising his head provocatively, the syringe in his hand already filled with medicine, "People, be more self-aware."
The villagers looked at each other with torches in their hands, and finally walked forward one by one and lined up obediently.
"Where's the registrar? Hurry up," Yan Jue looked behind him impatiently. "You're not being proactive on your first day at work. Do you want to be fired?"
In the crowd, Shangguan Yu calmly took off his backpack, pulled out a notebook and pen, and obediently made the gesture: "First."
"Registrator?" The man murmured to himself, his hands folded. "He looks like a little brat."
"Just because someone looks young doesn't mean they're brats, right?" Yan Jue smiled, a smile that chilled the man's heart. "Although we're a newly assigned research team, our ability to do things is unquestionable."
The man didn't say anything, but glanced at Shangguan Yu secretly again, and...still looking up.
He's so tall, he probably just looks young. Even a kid taking hormones can't grow so tall.
More than twenty villagers actually stood out in scattered groups. Yan Jue narrowed his eyes and glanced at them calmly. His face remained unmoved, but a sense of inappropriate uneasiness was brewing in his heart.
Fortunately, the person who stood up to respond to him was Shangguan Yu. He was calm and composed, and even had some of the style of a researcher.
"name?"
"Lü Kai."
"age?"
"47 years old."
"Superpower type?"
"It can...control the deformation of wooden products."
"Okay, go line up over there and wait." Shangguan Yu had been recording everything carefully in the notebook, with each person's information on a separate page. He directed them to Yan Jue's next door for the injections before they finished registering.
When Yan Jue took out the injection just now, Shangguan Yu took a quick look and felt that the quantity might not be enough.
Who would have thought that in this small village, more than twenty people with special abilities have awakened. It's as common as a cold, and they appear in large numbers. It's not surprising at all.
"Line up in order," Shangguan Yu stepped forward to help, and the others followed suit to maintain order. "Don't be chaotic, don't crowd. Those whose powers haven't awakened can go back and rest for now. Our main research target this time is those who have awakened their powers."
Perhaps because Yan Jue and his group looked very professional, the villagers did not suspect much and walked away with torches, leaving only the people with special abilities who had just registered.
Rong Xiao diligently served as a bodyguard, and anyone who passed by Yan Jue would be stared at by her.
The villagers felt uncomfortable when she looked at them, and they all kept a distance from Yan Jue.
"I feel so safe with Xiaoxiao around." Yan Jue took advantage of the opportunity to express his true feelings.
Without any second thoughts, Rong Xiao clenched his fists and said, "I will protect you."
If I didn't know Yan Jue's abilities, I would have really believed what he said.
However, their strength seems to be reflected in their superpowers. As long as Rong Xiao and Long Qingyu are free from their superpowers, they can still give each other a heavy blow.
With Rong Xiao by my side... the sense of security is indeed extremely strong.
Shangguan Yu was diligently registering on the side, even pretending to understand if there was any reaction from his body. He did not show any curiosity about the type of supernatural power, just like recording ordinary information.
After all the psychics present had finished recording their information, Shangguan Yu reviewed the information again and said without looking up, "Those whose names are called, come for the injection. For the next month, any physical reactions, even just a sneeze, a headache, etc., must be recorded in detail. We will all register the situation together next time you come."
"But... we can't write." The villagers looked at each other.
"Whether you draw pictures, write words, or even carve symbols directly on the wall, as long as you can understand what you want to say, the more detailed the better."
"Okay." Without any hesitation, the villagers could only nod in agreement.
Shangguan Yu flipped through the information book and found the first goal: to create a fog that would cause hallucinations.
But he did not call the man's name. Instead, he handed over another man with metal superpowers first, and then called Rong Xiao who was next to him.
"I remember there are syringes, right? Hurry up, we have to be back within the specified time." Shangguan Yu looked in Ling Xi's direction and said, "Speed up the injection and finish this quickly."
Ling Xi understood immediately and pretended to take out a syringe from her bag. She was about to hand it to Shangguan Yu, but Rong Xiao, who rushed over to take the item, got there first.
"I'll do it," Rong Xiao had just watched from the side. She remembered exactly how Yan Jue operated. "Everyone line up, two in a group, one on my side, one on his side."
The villagers did as they were told without any doubt.
Shangguan Yu was worried at first, but seeing Rong Xiao's skillful movements and actually drawing the potion, he let her go.
The man controlling the hallucination fog stood in front of Rong Xiao, pulled his sleeves a little embarrassedly, and asked, "Is this okay?"
"Okay, please squat down a little." Rong Xiao wiped the chosen spot with an alcohol cotton ball, tightened the smirk that was about to burst out from the corner of his mouth, and gave a needle.
It's simple~
I used to use my supernatural powers to push needles to prick people, but now I can do it directly with my hands, which is quite exciting.
After Rong Xiao finished one injection, he learned to change to another syringe. His movements were agile and quick, even faster than Yan Jue.
In a flash, three people were stabbed. It was not a dangerous environment now, so no one tried to see if their supernatural powers were still there.
When there were only three or four targets left, the crowd that was about to leave burst into exclamations: "Why did my superpower disappear???"
“I’m also missing!!”
One person suggested it, and the others nervously tried it, and as a result, everyone who got the injection screamed.
"What kind of experiment is this?" Someone even rushed over. "Why did the superpower disappear after the injection? Wasn't it said to be an experiment to awaken superpowers?!"
"No, there's something wrong with them," the man who was initially suspicious gritted his teeth and rushed out, "I just called the satellite phone, and they didn't send anyone at all!!!"
"Oh, we've been discovered," Yan Jue laughed happily, but the group of people felt a chill down their spines. "But it's almost over, it doesn't matter."
A little sparkling liquid came out of the pointed syringe, and Yan Jue held the sharp needle next to his face. His smile and movements were extremely provocative.
The panicked villagers picked up the weapons on the ground and rushed towards them viciously as if they had suddenly gone crazy.
Being able to obtain superpowers in the end times is like a gift from God, so this group of people agreed to participate in the experiment.
Especially after experiencing the sense of security and convenience brought by superpowers, the things they are used to and dependent on suddenly disappear. That panic will instantly invade the brain, making these villagers seem to be driven crazy by fear because of losing their original support.
Crackling——
A strong lightning flashed down, and Lao Wei stood still, issuing a warning like a company document: "Stand still, don't move, otherwise..."
The villagers didn't want to hear a word he said and just wanted to quickly kill all those who caused them to lose their superpowers.
Although they looked like crazy, this group of people still had some sense and knew to attack those who looked weak first.
It would be best to capture another living threat and let them restore their superpowers.
Rong Xiao had just kicked someone away, and the villagers didn't dare to attack him. In the end... they all set their sights on Ling Xi.
They rushed over there in a black mass, waving their weapons. Some people even beat drums and gongs to call back those who had gone back to rest. More and more villagers with weapons surrounded them.
A dense swarm of them swarmed towards them like locusts.
Rong Xiao had never been surrounded by so many living people before. She had only been chased by zombies before. For a moment, she was not sure whether to kill them or not. She quietly looked in the direction of Long Qingyu, as if waiting for his order.
Noticing the glances from those around him, Long Qingyu said seriously, "Although we normally wouldn't kill people casually, if their lives are threatened, we must resist at all costs."
Afraid that Rong Xiao didn't understand, Tian Yichuan beside him added: "If they want to kill you, you must not show mercy, understand?"
"I understand!" Rong Xiao nodded, turned his head and glared fiercely at the front.
It's just that... her deliberately ferocious expression wasn't very creepy, and even gave the villager a feeling of being in a dying struggle.
“Swish…”
Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind him. The shed seemed to be overturned by something and collapsed into ruins. Suddenly, a whip was raised in the air and swept over the group of people in front.
There were about ten people standing next to the ruins. Huihui huddled beside them, chattering as if she was whispering something.
The man in the front had a solemn and resentful expression on his face, staring intently at the group of villagers who were more terrifying than zombies.
Rong Xiao knew that group of people.
We were locked up together before, affected by the fog of hallucinations, and always sleeping in the corner.
They were able to wake up from the hallucination only after the man who created the fog was injected with a drug that made his supernatural powers ineffective.
Huihui gave a brief explanation, and the group of people were furious when they learned that they were almost sent to feed the zombies.
Some people woke up and didn't see their companions. They knew that they had been sent to be food for zombies, and they could no longer bear it.
"Yu Liang, hurry up, what the hell are you standing there for?" The villagers shouted. Those without special powers were still afraid. They shouted loudly with weapons, but they retreated quietly. "Hurry up!"
An inconspicuous man slowly walked out of the crowd. Shangguan Yu confirmed from his memory that he was not registered.
It turns out... this group of people still has a trick up their sleeve?
The man had dark skin and a strong build. The most noticeable thing about him at night was his reflective whites of eyes. He was holding a sickle in his hand.
Lightning ability?
Metal control?
Create wind blades?
Since he was hidden until the end like a trump card, he must have some really cool superpowers.
Before he could make a move, Shangguan Yu, who was standing beside him, pulled Rong Xiao from behind and whispered, "His ability might be to make supernatural powers disappear."
The man had a special smell, like some kind of pickled vegetables. Shangguan Yu could clearly tell that the smell came from him even from a distance.
This smell… he had smelled it in the shed before. It was emitted by the person who came to carry the “food”.
"But he is still so far away." Rong Xiao raised her head to look and then lowered her head to calculate. With her speed, it would not be a problem to avoid the man.
Besides, the supernatural power will disappear only when it is touched, so why not just prevent him from touching it?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Rong Xiao felt changes happening around him.
It is a change that is invisible to the naked eye.
Everyone else...even Yan Jue, seemed to be waiting for that man to do something big, but after waiting for a long time, they never saw any cool, handsome and aggressive moves.
Rong Xiao turned his head abruptly and tugged at Yan Jue: "Did you feel it?"
"What?" Yan Jue was stunned, and immediately guessed that Rong Xiao must have discovered something. "What did Xiao Xiao feel?"
"An invisible force is approaching..." He pulled the person next to him back, but after retreating not far, Rong Xiao realized that they had nowhere to retreat.
The power was not aggressive, but very strange, like an invisible barrier that surrounded people silently and without any sense of existence.
Like a page of paper stained by invisible moisture, seeping towards the center inch by inch, and finally... there is nowhere to hide.
"Brother Long." Tian Yichuang, who was the first to discover that his supernatural power had failed, exclaimed.
He opened his palm, which was empty. Long Qingyu immediately understood what he meant.
A situation even more terrifying than before appeared.
Not only did Tian Yichuang lose his superpowers, but all of their superpowers became ineffective, as if they were suddenly isolated by some invisible barrier.
"Hahaha, you think having superpowers is a big deal, right?" The dark-skinned man sneered and threatened, "None of you... can escape!"
“Catch them!!!”
The villagers approached aggressively, brandishing weapons, as if conducting a brief test.
When they were trapped in the illusion before, their belongings and weapons were confiscated, leaving them all with bare hands. Now that they have lost their superpowers, they can only fight the villagers with their fists.
Yan Jue subconsciously reached out his hand to block Rong Xiao behind him.
After a few tugs, the cuffs seemed to tremble slightly as if there was wind blowing, and a familiar figure instantly appeared in the front.
Rong Xiao's movements were swift and fast, like a nimble wild cat suddenly taking off, he spread his arms and grabbed the thing in one of the men's hands.
It was a long steel fork with four sharp points on the front. It looked like a good weapon.
The chosen villager was in a panic. Just as he was about to retract the steel fork, the handle hit the stomach of someone else next to him, saving Rong Xiao from trouble for no reason.
They thought Rong Xiao wanted to steal the weapons, even Long Qingyu and others thought so.
However, Rong Xiao didn't have a gun at all. Instead, he raised a half-raised steel fork and pushed it forward directly -
The three people in the front row fell to the ground, as if they had been hit by some uncontrollable force, and they couldn't even get up.
Others also raised their weapons and wanted to attack Rong Xiao, but the difference between their speed and her reaction ability was too obvious.
The hoe was broken at one-third of its length, and the sickle was also broken at the joint by a single blow.
Anyone who wanted to attack her had their weapons destroyed.
"Puchi." Yan Jue laughed unceremoniously, his eyes showing no disguising of his admiration for Rong Xiao.
She seems to have abnormal brain circuits, but she always does things that make people astonished.
Rong Xiao moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye he defeated several people and destroyed many of their weapons.
As if he had absolute trust in her, Yan Jue slowly opened his backpack and took out... a new bottle of medicine.
Not only the villagers, but even Su Ming and Bei Ran were shocked: "You still have it???"
Everyone thought Yan Jue had used up all the potions!
Yan Jue twitched the corners of his mouth, smiling like a beautiful devil: "Of course I have to keep a trick up my sleeve."
Man proposes, God disposes, and God disposes, not as good as Yan Jue.
The trembling villager Bie Rongxiao frowned and dared not approach her with his weapons raised. There seemed to be a fixed two-meter safety circle around her, and no one dared to go over.
"Xiaoxiao, I leave it to you." Yan Jue shook his beautiful fingers, drew the liquid medicine into the syringe, and considerately pushed away the air.
He stood elegantly like a gentleman and smiled like an angel, but there was clearly no kindness in his eyes.
Rong Xiao calmly left the scene and went back to get the syringe. He held it in his hand and examined it for a while before looking at the dark-skinned man: "You come over here, or should I go?"
"You...don't come over here!!!" The dark-skinned man had just been punched by Rong Xiao in the chaos, and now his stomach was aching so much that he almost used up all his strength to stabilize his supernatural powers.
"Oh, I see. I'll go over then."
The man suddenly became even more panicked.
What do you understand!!!
"Protect Yu Liang, protect Yu Liang, you idiots!!" Someone realized the seriousness of the problem and issued clear instructions.
In the night sky illuminated by torches, will-o'-the-wisp lights jumped on the ground, and suddenly there was a loud rumbling sound and vibration.
Beiran was the fastest to react: "Earth-related ability?"
The ground trembled and cracked rapidly, and suddenly a 5-meter-wide gap separated the dark-skinned man and Rong Xiao.
Before she could jump, her feet suddenly braked, one foot slid to the edge, and she quickly maintained her balance by half-lifting the other foot.
Under the tightly packed feet, a cluster of winding and swaying black shadows suddenly bulged out, rose into the air and quickly wrapped around Rong Xiao's legs.
"Fuck, Yan Jue, you bastard!!" Su Ming, who was originally watching attentively, was suddenly knocked down by Yan Jue and started cursing.
Yan Jue treated him as air, suddenly reached out to take the syringe from Rong Xiao's hand, stepped on the vine that was stretched between Rong Xiao and the opposite side, and jumped up.
There was an abyss below him that was bottomless, but Yan Jue was not afraid at all. His movements were light and nimble, and he only needed a little leverage to reach the other end in an instant.
By the time the dark-skinned man reacted, his fingertips had already touched his neck, which was icy cold.
Just like his heart.
The injection was delivered without mercy, heavy and fierce. The moment the cold liquid entered his body, the dark-skinned man shivered uncontrollably.
The vines originally wrapped around Rong Xiao's feet, trying to pull him into the abyss, but after pulling for a long time, the other side didn't move at all.
The atmosphere was tense and awkward.
The other party couldn't understand why... wasn't the range for blocking superpowers already activated?
Why don't you give it a try?
Then, even more terrifying speculations came to my mind.
That girl, what she used was not, supernatural power.
This is terrifying!
In order to tighten the only bridge between his side and Yan Jue's side, Rong Xiao's feet were as steady as a rock, stepping firmly on the gravel and struggling with the vines that were wrapped around him on the opposite side.
But after a few rounds of pulling, Rong Xiao felt something was wrong with the gravel under his feet.
Although it was slow and gentle, she could clearly feel that the cliff was about to collapse.
boom--
Boundaries collapse.
Rong Xiao's body, standing at the edge of the abyss, suddenly fell down.
The black-skinned man's superpowers lost their effectiveness, and those who had lost their superpowers due to his influence felt their superpowers returning, and began to fight back.
Shangguan Yu, who was some distance away, also released his metal wings and was about to go to the cliff to rescue people, but someone got there first.
The vines seemed to want to take the opportunity to shake Rong Xiao off and let her fall into the abyss, but Yan Jue, who was closer, quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her up without seeming to use much effort.
Rong Xiao was not at all panicked. Even if Yan Jue didn't take action, she would not let herself fall like this.
When Yan Jue grabbed her wrist and pulled her up, Rong Xiao hooked his other hand around his neck and hung on Yan Jue as if giving him a hug.
"It's really dangerous, Xiaoxiao," Yan Jue blocked the weapon that was thrown in front of him and supported Rong Xiao's weight with one hand, "I saved you."
"Ah, thank you," Rong Xiao said politely, not understanding the teasing in his words. "But I've already figured out how to climb up."
Yan Jue: “…”
Why is it so hard to get a shy thank you?
The last trump card was completely destroyed, and the villagers scattered in panic, running towards their houses like ostriches.
It seems that as long as you hide inside, nothing will happen.
"Let's just burn this place down!" someone suggested viciously.
A strange man shook his head: "Although it may be dangerous, but... at least we can make sure that Zixiao is in trouble before making other plans."
"Thank you for your help," said a woman who looked very capable and walked up to the group of people behind them, who seemed to be a team. "If you hadn't destroyed those people's abilities, we probably wouldn't have woken up yet and might have been sent to be fed to the zombies."
"You're welcome," Ling Xuting responded politely, "We're just stopping by."
This group of people did not wear bracelets on their hands. After a brief chat, they seemed to have no idea about the mission related to the hexagon.
Only they can see the closed bubbles in the air.
Yes, I am still on the mission.
This mission sounds simple, but the obstacles set up are not easy at all.
The dark-skinned man's special ability alone - to render the special abilities of other people ineffective - is very difficult to deal with.
If it were someone else, they might have been at a disadvantage and in a precarious situation.
"Is the mission completed?" Ling Xuting was checking the light curtain. The group of strangers had been taken away by Huihui to find their companions who had been captured before.
Yan Jue nodded, but there was no intention of leaving in his eyes, as if he still wanted to do something.
"Hey, let's go now that the mission is completed. Our destination is the safe zone, not here to play around." Su Ming vaguely felt that Yan Jue had other plans. Like a koala, he tugged at his arm and dragged him in the opposite direction with his weight. "Did you hear me, you troublemaker!!!"
Glancing at Su Ming, Yan Jue raised his hand and pulled it away: "If you want to leave, go first. I need to find that satellite phone."
Huihui and others were about to go look for someone in front, but Yan Jue stopped them and joined in.
The two teams had agreed to act together, but now Yan Jue had something to delay him, so everyone had to stop and wait for him.
Su Ming kept cursing, and Bei Ran was so angry that he started arguing with him.
"Rong Xiao, let's go too." Shangguan Yu put his hands in his pockets and turned sideways, ready to walk over there.
Rong Xiao originally wanted to join in the fun, but was too embarrassed to leave the team without permission, so he could only watch helplessly.
Who knew that Shangguan Yu would actually take the initiative to propose, and her little tail instantly stood up.
Rong Xiao glanced at Long Qingyu, like a little cutie seeking his old father's advice.
Shangguan Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly made this request. There must be a reason. Long Qingyu nodded without even asking why.
"Yan Jue, Yan Jue, let's go too." Rong Xiao came over skipping and jumping with Shangguan Yu.
Yan Jue was originally welcoming when he heard Rong Xiao's voice, but when he found out that there was a troublesome guy following her, his expression changed slightly, but his smile remained.
Ignoring Shangguan Yu, Yan Jue deliberately walked closer to her: "You guys want to join in the fun too?"
"Yes, yes." Rong Xiao answered excitedly.
"That's... that's the house." Huihui led the group to the gate of a certain courtyard and pointed. "They must have locked the person up in that woodshed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door exploded with a bang. The superpowers of this team were not to be trifled with, and the angry people came forward aggressively.
The firewood shed is right next to the main entrance.
Hearing the door being broken down and a noise coming from inside, someone came out trembling with a weapon in hand, waving it in front of him: "If you... dare to mess around, I will... I will fight you to the death."
The woman who had just politely thanked Rong Xiao and the others sneered and gritted her teeth: "Even if you don't fight hard, you won't be able to keep your life."
Two more bangs.
The wooden house seemed to have been blown away by something, with the roof and walls scattered and turned into a ruin.
The situation inside came into view with incredible clarity.
In the corner, a zombie that had mutated long ago had its feet tied with chains and was struggling forward while howling.
On the wooden beam not far from the zombies... there was a person hanging.
"Hahahahaha, Xiao Song is still alive." The companions below laughed.
Unfortunately, the person hanging on the wooden beam was almost losing his strength and was about to fall down.
It seems that after he was sent to this place, he woke up from the hallucination in time before becoming food for zombies.
But after waking up, he found himself locked up with zombies and was almost eaten. It must have taken a lot of effort to escape.
"I... I can't hold on anymore." The man's breath became weak, his hands softened, and he fell downwards.
Rong Xiao raised his palm, and his palm seemed to hold up a fallen leaf. The rapidly falling man stopped in mid-air for an instant, and after two seconds, he slowly descended to the ground.
As soon as he stood firm and was about to ask who helped, a zombie not far away ran towards him, howling. He was so scared that he didn't have time to ask and ran screaming in the direction of his companions.
The group's expressions softened slightly, but they remained stern and solemn. One of them twitched his finger, and a middle-aged man suddenly emerged from the nearby doorway, weapon raised, eyes red as he shouted, "Don't touch him! If you dare to kill him, I'll fight you to the death!"
Everyone found this funny, but they couldn't laugh at all.
The zombie, whose body no longer resembled a living person, was no different from a dead person, and was even more terrifying than a dead person.
"He's already dead," one of the men from the neighboring team frowned. "Have you ever seen a normal living person eat someone else? He can't even understand what you're saying..."
Although he was deeply terrified of the zombies in the woodshed, he was obsessed with keeping them like a pet and gave living people to him as food.
They understand the middle-aged man's feelings, but they dare not agree with them.
These words seemed to anger the man in front of him. He was wearing a black work suit, black boots, and had two scars on his face.
She looked fierce and was trying to make the middle-aged man realize how outrageous his behavior was.
"Shut up, you damn outsiders, why do you come to destroy this place!" The middle-aged man boldly approached the front with his weapon in hand, but he was obviously on guard against sneak attacks from zombies.
Seeing that his explanation was not working, the man in work clothes pursed his lips, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
When he raised his hand, something in the air seemed to condense and heat up, seemingly in the direction of the zombies, and the next second it burst into flames with a bang.
The zombie's head looked like a burning basketball, howling and trying to pounce on where there were living people.
When the middle-aged man saw this, he slowly went to find water. Nie Fuxi quietly turned her fingers behind her back, and the originally full tank of water quickly flowed back along the edge into the mud outside.
The middle-aged man was completely panicked and had no time to fetch water. The zombie's head had tilted and it fell to the ground motionless, only the flames continued to burn.
"Fuck, a fire-type ability, so cool!" Tian Yichuan clenched his hands as if inspired by something. "I want to learn this move too. Damn, it's so cool!"
The middle-aged man fell to the ground crying and trembling. He tried to move forward several times, but the fire ignited the hay next to him and he couldn't get close at all.
"Is there anything else you haven't done?" the man in overalls turned to them and asked, "If you need any help, just let me know. Once you've taken care of it, it's best to leave immediately."
Yan Jue smiled politely: "No, thank you, it's just a small matter and we will take care of it."
The man in overalls was stunned, then he heard the polite refusal and stopped asking.
"Thank you, thank you for saving us," the man in overalls said after another sincere thank you. He pursed his lips and looked at everyone's empty hands. "We don't have anything to give you. From now on... if you need any help, I will definitely not refuse."
"Ah, you're welcome. It's only natural for everyone to help each other in these last days." Yan Jue's mind wasn't on this, but because the other party was thanking him sincerely, he didn't leave in a hurry and just exchanged some pleasantries.
The small village, which had been quiet, became noisy again.
Walking outside, Yan Jue saw one of the men holding a satellite phone, his arm raised high as if he was leading something: "Capture that girl, and we can get our superpowers back!!"
The crowd outside was very excited, and a group of villagers who had lost their superpowers and those who had not yet awakened their superpowers kept waving their arms.
