While the two were chatting, Xia Feng had already prepared the wraps that Lin Xuan had wanted to eat. The wraps contained roasted mutated beast meat, cucumber strips, cilantro, and were also brushed with his special sauce.
He stuffed the tortilla into Lin Xuan's mouth to stop her from chatting with Dr. Liu any longer, otherwise he would get upset.
He raised his arm again and pulled Dr. Liu, who was resting on his head, away.
Dr. Liu was very outgoing and had been resting on Xia Feng's arm for a while, giving Xia Feng goosebumps.
Dr. Liu wasn't annoyed when he was pulled away; he even patted Xia Feng's big arm through the animal skin coat.
"Brother Xia, you're really in great shape. Look at those biceps, wow..."
Watching Dr. Liu groping and touching Xia Feng, Lin Xuan munched on a burrito and remarked how popular her brother was with men.
In the past, Zhou Xinran would often touch his brother's chest muscles, and Gu Xinghuo would always flirt with him. There was also the little gay cat in the space, which completely treated her and Xia Feng differently.
However, the girls she met didn't seem to like her brother much.
The girls in the team disliked his brother because he was fierce, had a dark face, and was like an old woman. Zhou Lerui disliked him because he was a leech.
Is her brother the legendary straight man who's a jerk?
"Eek~ How scary!" Lin Xuan shuddered, moved to the side, turned her head to eat her pancake, ignoring Xia Feng's pleading look.
So Xia Feng was then kept talking by Dr. Liu, and his burly body actually looked somewhat pitiful.
After settling the rescued survivors into the vehicles of each team, Zhou Xinyi prepared to depart.
Since the zombie siege, the survivors had been living in constant fear, fleeing into the mountains. After being rescued, they all relaxed and fell asleep leaning against each other in the vehicle.
Only Dr. Liu was still full of energy, chatting with people everywhere.
Zhou Xinyi and the rescue team could not relax.
According to intelligence obtained from the base commander, the mid-level zombie leading the siege was not on the mountain.
Dr. Liu said that intermediate-level zombies have a sense of territory, and the Black Mountain area may belong to the territory of some kind of mutated plant, which is why it did not enter.
Once everyone is out of Black Mountain's territory, the zombie could very well return and attack the convoy.
All rescue team members were ready for battle, and the space-age ability users distributed weapons to each person.
Sure enough, not long after the convoy left the Black Mountain, a group of low-level zombies and mutated animals followed behind.
The rescue team members sheltered the survivors inside the vehicle, opened all the compartments and windows, and some members climbed onto the roof to bombard the zombie horde with cannons.
The number of zombies and mutated animals was increasing, and they were about to surround the convoy.
Dr. Liu grabbed the walkie-talkie in the car and turned on the full channel. "To catch the thief, catch the king first. Everyone, pay attention to the one in the zombie horde that looks the most different. That's the intermediate zombie. Its appearance is hard to tell it's human anymore. It even looks a bit like a mutated animal. Only by killing it can we stop it from summoning the primary zombies and mutated animals."
While Lin Xuan and Xia Feng were firing a Gatling gun on the roof of the car, they heard Professor Liu's voice through their earpieces.
Lin Xuan was also looking for the mid-level zombie, but this mid-level zombie probably thought it was some kind of final boss and remained hidden among the zombies.
By this time, the convoy was surrounded by zombies, some of whom had even climbed onto the carriages.
The team members abandoned their firearms and rushed into the horde of zombies, beginning their attacks with their supernatural abilities.
Xia Feng also charged into the zombie horde. Dr. Liu, who was of utmost importance, was in their vehicle, and there was absolutely no way anything could go wrong.
Lin Xuan stayed on the roof of the car, killing zombies while keeping an eye out for intermediate-level zombies hidden among the horde.
Inside the carriage, Dr. Liu was surrounded by his former bodyguards and several team members, layer upon layer.
Suddenly the carriage shook violently, and a sharp claw pierced through the thickened floorboards, revealing a pointed tip.
The people in the car screamed in alarm and shoved Dr. Liu into a corner of the car, away from that point of attack.
Several more metallic scraping sounds came from under the car, sounds that sent shivers down one's spine. Finally, with a ripping sound, a large hole was torn open under the car, revealing an extremely distorted and terrifying face inside.
It could no longer be called the face of any animal or human; it was a lump of melted fat. You couldn't even find its facial features; you could only tell where the mouth was by looking at the crack in the middle where sharp teeth were showing.
The thing first poked out its head and an arm, ignoring the superpowered attacks from the other superpowered individuals in the carriage, and then, with a push of one hand, its entire body squeezed into the carriage.
The wind rushed into the carriage from under the car, and the people inside finally saw the monster in its entirety.
It walks on all fours, with bulging muscles in its upper arms and thick, sturdy lower limbs, much like the hind limbs of a frog. Its fingernails and toenails have a metallic texture and are incredibly sharp.
On the misshapen head, where the mouth should be, a long, bluish-black tongue, like a snake, was sticking out.
Although they couldn't find the location of its eyes, the people in the carriage could feel the monster's intense malice towards them.
It was as if they were the little snacks waiting to be eaten in its jar of treats, choosing the ones that suited their tastes.
"Be careful, this is the mid-level zombie that attacked the base!"
Dr. Liu shouted from the back of the crowd.
The superhumans blocking the way kept attacking with their powers and weapons, but the intermediate-level zombies had tough skin, and even bullets hitting them were deflected.
This intermediate-level zombie tried to reach for the superhumans with its claws several times, but was blocked by Su Ye's spatial shield.
However, the intermediate-level zombie was incredibly powerful. Seeing that it couldn't break through the spatial shield with its claws, it actually charged with its entire body.
Although Su Ye was a relatively strong superhuman, he was still struggling to defend himself. Cracks were appearing on his spatial shield, making it impossible to withstand the zombie's attack any longer.
Sweat beaded on the forehead of the spatial ability user, whose face was pale.
The intermediate-level zombie let out a snarling laugh from its crimson mouth. With one last powerful thrust, the spatial shield shattered, and Su Ye was thrown to the ground. The intermediate-level zombie's claws, capable of tearing through reinforced steel plates, were now within reach.
At the critical moment, something grabbed the neck of the laughing zombie and dragged it backward a distance.
The intermediate-level zombie reacted and struggled forward to regain its balance, only to have two orbs of light stuffed into its mouth.
Bang! Bang!
The ball of light exploded inside the crimson mouth, blasting black blood out of the mid-level zombie's mouth and splattering everywhere.
Su Ye quickly pulled out a metal plate from his spatial storage and placed it in front of everyone. Blood splattered onto the steel plate, but fortunately, it didn't cause any chemical reaction.
While the intermediate-level zombie was still in a daze, Lin Xuan forcefully dragged it out of the carriage.
"Don't get out of the car, protect Dr. Liu!"
After shouting into the carriage, Lin Xuan closed the back door and focused on fighting the intermediate-level zombie.
Su Ye used a metal plate meant to block zombie blood to block the torn bottom of the car, and the people in the car quickly pulled Dr. Liu out from the corner and surrounded him in the middle.
Fearing that something else might crawl out from under the car, one of the superhumans simply carried Dr. Liu on his shoulder.
The people inside the vehicle kept an eye on the battle outside while also being mindful of their surroundings.
