The intersection ahead on this street is a fork in the road, forming a Y-shape.
The two intersections then branch into two roads, one main and one auxiliary. The main road is a wide four-lane road, and the two sides still maintain the previous appearance, with towering office buildings reaching into the clouds.
The people guarding the intersection, seeing the dense horde of zombies surging towards them, instantly tensed up.
He turned around anxiously and shouted to Lu Jin'an:
"Captain! A lot of zombies are coming this way!"
The moment his teammate spoke, Lu Jin'an looked up and saw a dark mass rapidly approaching. His expression turned serious.
He was just about to suggest taking another route, but before he could order a change of direction and retreat, the scouts on the other side also shouted anxiously.
"The same goes for this side."
These two sentences reminded everyone, and they tensed up and became on guard.
Lu Jin'an looked up and saw that the auxiliary road was much narrower than the main road, with only two lanes. On both sides of the road were various restaurants, shops, convenience stores, fruit shops, etc.
This road surface looks noticeably dirtier and messier, with obvious oil stains and other marks on the paving stones.
"Retreat first!"
Lu Jin'an led his team, attempting to retrace their steps, but these zombies were incredibly omnipresent, emerging from behind buildings and surrounding them.
They used their superpowers to quickly clear away the zombies blocking their way, and everyone started running!
Li Xin'er was at the highest point; her extraordinary strength allowed her to clearly see the situation on the street below.
Right now, Lu Jin'an and those zombies are like two little figures fighting on opposite sides in a game.
One side tries to break through the barrier, while the other side is surrounded by NPCs.
Lu Jin'an and his group were unable to retreat as they had hoped, because more than a hundred zombies appeared on their way there, blocking their path.
It was at this moment that Li Xin'er finally witnessed Lu Jin'an's special ability.
The moment he raised his hand, a black mist spread out from his palm.
Those black things twisted and swirled in the air, like living ghosts.
The black mist drifted toward the zombie's head, like a black plastic film, wrapping and binding the head until the entire head disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Li Xin'er couldn't help but smile with interest. So it was the same as Ersha's ability—a devouring ability.
The fighting below was fierce, and zombies gradually surrounded them. Twelve people were fighting against thousands of zombies, fighting and trying to find a way to retreat, but the more they fought, the more zombies appeared...
Li Xin'er was lost in thought as she pondered the fact that the biggest villainous zombie in the original book possessed the ability to devour.
Because in the book, the author repeatedly emphasized the power and rarity of the Devouring ability, stating that only the Zombie King possessed this power, making him the most powerful boss enemy for the male and female protagonists.
Ersha awakened because of her intervention, while Lu Jin'an awakened on her own...
So, is it possible that Lu Jin'an will be the final zombie king?
Thinking of this, Li Xin'er raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes. This matter seemed quite interesting.
Since the male lead is dead, should we also kill the villainous zombie?
As the battle below grew increasingly intense, Li Xin'er lost interest in continuing to watch.
She clearly saw the special abilities of everyone in the Dragon Flame Squad. Except for Lu Jin'an's, which was an unexpected bonus, the others were all quite ordinary.
She stood up from the edge of the rooftop, turned around and left without hesitation. She had seen enough of the show and it was time to look for a place to live.
They were surrounded by layers upon layers of zombies at a bus stop, and some of them had already exhausted their superpowers and were beginning to show signs of fatigue.
After excessive use of superpowers, one's whole body will feel weak and sore. In severe cases, one may not even have the strength to lift a finger, let alone swing a knife to cut zombies or withstand the recoil to fire a gun.
There are only two possible outcomes for these people.
They'll either be surrounded and killed, becoming zombie food, or they might even be lucky enough to create a zombie king who nearly destroyed the world in the end.
Alternatively, they could successfully break through, return to the base with news of the zombie upgrade, and then...
The moment Li Xin'er turned around, she also relaxed the protective barrier of her soul power over herself. In that instant, Lu Jin'an seemed to sense something and looked up at the rooftop of the building diagonally opposite.
From his perspective, he could only see the back of a woman wearing a black leather jacket and with her hair in a high ponytail.
With just one glance and a glimpse of her back, Lu Jin'an was inexplicably certain that the person was Li Xin'er!
Even though the cool leather jacket she wore today is a completely different style from her previous dresses, it's still a stark contrast.
He recognized him.
Why is she here?
Are these suddenly appearing zombies related to her?
Countless questions swirled in Lu Jin'an's mind, but the crisis before him left him no time to ponder them further.
He snapped out of his thoughts and immediately gave the order:
"Blast open a gap with weapons and force our way through. Yang Chen, take Xiao Wu and bring the car over to provide backup!"
Their mission was primarily reconnaissance, and to avoid causing a major disturbance, they parked their car in a safe area and did not drive this way.
"yes!"
Upon hearing Lu Jin'an's order, the others responded one after another, picked up their weapons, and cooperated in the breakout.
Li Xin'er hadn't gone far when she heard gunshots and explosions coming from behind her.
She muttered something to herself, feeling rather bored.
"Looks like it won't be this time."
With so many zombies already and their superpowers nearly depleted, the situation was urgent, and they couldn't care less if the gunshots attracted even more zombies.
