"Brother Lei, what's wrong?"
Tang Xiaoting looked at the furious Ye Lei and asked.
"Tu Xingsun and the Bloodthirsty Bat are both dead."
"Oh no! How could this be? Those were two formidable warriors!"
"I'll put this debt on their tab."
Ye Lei looked at the X Secret Laboratory getting further and further away from them in the rearview mirror and said fiercely.
At the same time, the system's voice echoed in my mind:
[Exploration mission completed, reward points]
"We've finally managed to recover some of the losses!"
Ye Lei thought to himself, "The X Secret Laboratory storyline has come to a temporary end. However, with the rising sea level and this incident, it will soon be submerged. As for where they will go, I will tell you the story later."
As the car drove towards the Desheng generator, Ye Lei suddenly remembered Tang Xiaoting's awakening of supernatural abilities.
Xiaoting, you're pregnant, did you know?
"Huh? I don't know!"
Ye Lei's sudden question startled Tang Xiaoting.
I think you're pregnant!
Why do you say that?
Tang Xiaoting is still unaware that she activated the Shield of Supernatural Powers.
"Because you awakened your superpowers!"
"Really? I didn't know that. Did you see it?"
Tang Xiaoting said with a smile that she thought Ye Lei was joking with her.
“I’m telling the truth. Have you forgotten that in the lab just now, those four soldiers opened fire on us, but we were all unharmed?”
Ye Lei reminded her.
"I was so scared that I closed my eyes, thinking that you had saved us!"
"Wrong, this time, you saved us!"
How did I save him?
"You activated the protective shield, surrounding us. Bullets fell off it, giving me time to kill them!"
"Oh! Really? Should I try it now!"
Tang Xiaoting seemed very excited after hearing this.
"Okay, close your eyes and try concentrating!"
Ye Lei was also filled with curiosity and anticipation. He was eager to see the legendary magical protective shield with his own eyes again.
Time ticked by, and finally, an amazing scene unfolded!
Suddenly, a dazzling white transparent shield appeared, like an indestructible barrier, tightly enveloping the entire off-road vehicle.
Ye Lei's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap! This isn't just a shield, it's practically a mobile castle!"
Tang Xiaoting, who was sitting to the side, slowly opened her eyes. She was stunned by the scene before her. Looking at the white shields that were shining brightly all around her, Tang Xiaoting had an expression of disbelief on her face.
"Brother Lei, is this what you're talking about?"
"Yes"
"You're not kidding when you say it can stop bullets!"
Even now, Tang Xiaoting still can't figure out how powerful this protective shield is.
"Yes, how could I possibly lie to you!"
"Oh my god, this is wonderful! This gives us another layer of protection!"
"You're a weapons expert, so it's perfectly normal for you to awaken such a superpower. Alright, put it away now, it's exhausting!"
"Alright, Brother Lei!"
With a thought, Tang Xiaoting withdrew her power, and the protective shield disappeared.
"Hmm...where did the white circle go? I want to see it, I want to see it!"
Xiuxiu stared at the vanished protective shield and started making a fuss.
"Alright, stop fooling around. That's Xiaoting's special ability, just like your Lion's Roar. It takes a lot of energy!"
"No, I want to see it! It's so beautiful, Sister Xiaoting, please conjure it up quickly!"
"Xiuxiu, if you don't behave, I'll send you back!"
Ye Lei threatened.
"I'm not going back! It's so much more fun with you guys! Not only do we get to eat crystal cores, but we also have so many fun activities. It's so exciting!"
This child actually treated this near-death adventure as something fun.
"Then you have to obey, do you hear me?"
"Alright, Xiuxiu, will you listen to me now?"
After she finished speaking, the place became unusually quiet, unlike the previous noisy atmosphere. Ye Lei silently took out a crystal core and handed it to her.
He knew that Xiuxiu had to become strong as soon as possible, only then could she become his capable assistant in the perilous adventures to come.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the off-road vehicle came to a steady stop in front of Desheng Generator Company.
However, the scene before Ye Lei puzzled him. The originally tightly closed retractable gate was now half open, and the security room at the entrance was completely silent, with the security guards inside nowhere to be seen.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the door to the security room creaked open, slowly revealing an eerie atmosphere.
The Desheng Generator Company, which once seemed to be operating normally, now appears desolate, like a ruin suddenly forgotten by time.
This sudden change makes one wonder if something has happened here. Even the black sedan that originally belonged to Cha Zhijun and was parked at the entrance has disappeared without a trace.
All these signs made Ye Lei's heart tighten, and an ominous premonition surged into his mind. Without hesitation, he stepped on the gas and drove the SUV into the factory gate.
Just as they approached the office building, before the car had even come to a complete stop, they saw zombies staggering out of the building's entrance. What was going on? There had never been any zombies here before, only survivors! Ye Lei wondered to himself.
He was deeply impressed by this place. The last time he came, there was a lively and lovely young girl at the front desk. In particular, her blessing, "I wish you a happy life in the end times," is still unforgettable to him.
However, in the blink of an eye, this place had become a zombie-infested area! Faced with such a bizarre turn of events, Ye Lei decided that he had to figure out the situation before making any plans.
So he dialed Cha Murong's number, but unfortunately, the phone dropped after only two beeps, obviously because there was no signal again!
"Brother Lei, should we go up now?"
Tang Xiaoting, standing to the side, naturally didn't notice anything unusual and assumed that the zombies were simply meant to be there.
"Don't get out of the car yet. When I came here last time, there were many people in this office building, but no zombies. But look at the entrance now, there are three or four of them. Judging from their clothes, they seem to have been here all along."
"You mean this place has been attacked by zombies?"
Tang Xiaoting guessed.
"That's what I think too!"
"Then where did Murong's father go?"
"I don't know either. I just called Cha Murong, but there was no signal."
"Oh, so what do we do now?"
"Let's take refuge in the shelter first! We'll talk again once we make contact!"
"All right!"
Ye Lei started the SUV again and sped out of the factory gate toward the shelter.
