Despite the fallen companions in front, the zombies behind showed no sign of stopping.
They trampled over the corpses of zombies, yet continued to run forward relentlessly, seemingly never tiring.
The leopard standing behind opened its blood-red maw and let out a series of awe-inspiring roars.
The sound, like a bugle call, inspired the other zombies to charge forward, ignoring the threat of death.
The entire battlefield descended into chaos and clamor, with the stench of blood permeating the surroundings.
Faced with the approaching zombie horde, the soldiers resolutely detonated the grenades and tear gas canisters beside them.
After a fierce bombardment, the zombies were too scattered and did not cause much damage.
When the zombie army was only thirty meters away from the gate, a middle-aged man slowly stood up from behind his cover.
He shouted, "Everyone stop shooting and cover your ears!"
This shout was like a command horn; all the soldiers put down their heavy weapons, covered their ears, and the intense gunfire came to an abrupt halt.
Even the survivors in the stands covered their ears. After Ye Lei saw this, he also covered his ears. It seemed that this person was no ordinary person.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, and his originally flat stomach swelled up instantly. He then roared "Ah..." at the zombie army.
This sound lasted for a full ten seconds, and the booming sound reached a full 150 decibels. Most of the zombies had their eardrums ruptured and yellow liquid flowed out after hearing the piercing sound.
Some ordinary level one zombies couldn't withstand such a high decibel volume and collapsed to the ground dead, their faces oozing yellow fluid.
"Could this be the legendary Lion's Roar?" Ye Lei covered his ears tightly, but he could still feel echoes coming from them.
This person is most likely from a secret laboratory, an awakened superhuman; otherwise, how could an ordinary person shout such a high decibel?
This greatly intrigued Ye Lei, and he made up his mind to get to know this person.
If we can be friends, that's best. If we can't be friends, then we're enemies and must be eliminated.
After that shout, the zombie army stopped attacking, and even the level two zombie general, Leopard, seemed to sense the danger.
It roared at the sky again, a signal to retreat. All the zombies turned and followed the leopard into the distance; the shelter was safe again!
Seeing the zombies retreat, the soldiers were overjoyed, cheering and celebrating yet another victory, and embracing each other tightly.
The middle-aged man glanced at it, then turned and walked into the stadium without expression.
Upon seeing this, Ye Lei hurriedly went to meet him.
"Hello!"
Ye Lei stood directly in front of him, and the middle-aged man glanced at him but ignored him.
"My name is Ye Lei. What's your name?"
Ye Lei extended his right hand.
"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"
The man had no intention of shaking his hand and said expressionlessly.
This made Ye Lei feel very embarrassed. At least he should have shown some basic manners. However, you could tell from his expression that he was in a bad mood and didn't feel excited at all for driving away the zombies.
Since that's the case, we have no choice but to back down.
"Excuse me, sorry to bother you, please come in!"
Ye Lei stepped aside and politely gestured for them to enter.
Watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance, Ye Lei was filled with doubt and confusion.
Logically speaking, awakening superpowers should be an exciting thing, since it means having power and abilities that surpass those of ordinary people.
However, by observing this person's words and actions, one could not sense any joy whatsoever; on the contrary, compared to ordinary people, he appeared increasingly melancholy, sullen, and depressed.
What on earth could have caused such a bizarre situation? This question kept lingering in Ye Lei's mind, leaving him completely baffled.
Just then, Beanna came out, with her father by her side.
"Hello, Uncle Bei!"
Ye Lei walked over and greeted him.
"Ye Lei, hello there! It's been a long time!"
"Heh... It's the apocalypse, everyone's busy surviving!"
"I heard from Anna that you took very good care of her. That's great! We're busy as hell all day long, thank you so much!"
Bei Tianrui was telling the truth.
"Uncle, you're welcome. Anna is excellent too!"
"I'm relieved that she's with you."
"Uncle, do you know that person?"
Ye Lei pointed to the middle-aged man and asked.
"You mean him? We don't even know his name. He rarely talks to people. Everyone just calls him No. 4."
After hearing what Bei Tianrui said, Ye Lei basically understood that this was the Awakened One from that secret laboratory.
"Was he sent here to protect the safety of the shelter?"
"Yes, whenever zombies besiege the shelter and the army can't hold them off, they need him to step in. He seems to have that special ability called 'Lion's Roar,' which is quite powerful."
As the police chief, Bei Tianrui was certainly very aware of this.
"Yes, I just witnessed it. It was indeed quite powerful. With one roar, all the zombies retreated."
Ye Lei also admired this person; the deterrent power of this kind of superpower was much greater than that of others.
"Yes, but this person is not good at speaking and doesn't interact with people."
"Is there any way I can get to know him?"
This was also Ye Lei's goal; if they couldn't be friends, they would be enemies.
"It's probably going to be quite difficult."
Bei Tianrui shook his head.
"Oh, then never mind."
Even the police chief couldn't do anything about him; this matter seems quite troublesome.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go in. I still have a lot of things to do."
"Okay, Uncle, goodbye!"
Bei Tianrui waved his hand, turned around and went inside.
At this moment, Xia Yuhe also came out, but she was alone.
"Yuhe, why are you all alone? Didn't your father see you off?"
"Beanna asked."
"Oh, he was originally going to see me out, but he received an urgent notice and had to go to a meeting."
Xia Yuhe smiled.
"Oh, I see. Brother Lei, shall we go now?"
Beanna consulted Ye Lei for his opinion.
"I originally wanted to get to know that No.4, but it seems like I won't have the chance."
Ye Lei felt it was a real pity.
"My dad also said that he doesn't talk to people, so it's really difficult for him."
"How's the matter I asked you to inquire about going?"
That was the purpose of this trip to the shelter.
"We've gathered enough information. Let's talk in the car, it's so hot!"
The two had just come out of the comfortable air-conditioned room and felt extremely hot.
"Alright, let's go!"
Ye Lei was also preparing to leave; there was no point in staying any longer.
Suddenly, the survivors in the stands rushed towards the stadium entrance. What had happened?
