Chi Yi lifted Cai Xun up like a chick.
Chi Yanzhou, along with the members of the Flameheart Base, turned around and strode towards the rows of laboratory cubicles they had come from, preparing to clean up the half-zombie, half-beast experimental subjects one by one.
Sang Che and Sang Yan immediately went on alert, their backs to Lu Nange and Lu Beiye, their eyes fixed on the direction Chi Yanzhou and his group had left, to prevent anyone from getting close.
"Ah Ye," Lu Nange called softly, "Put Zhizhi down..."
Lu Beiye squatted down and placed the restless branch in his arms on the smooth, cool glass floor.
As soon as its feet touched the ground, Zhizhi excitedly shook its entire body of branches and leaves, making a rapid and cheerful "chirp chirp chirp" sound.
[Master, may I begin?]
Lu Nange: "Go!"
The little tree person immediately stretched out its branches and leaves excitedly.
Then... countless emerald green vines, finer than a strand of hair, quietly branched out and extended from the main roots of the branches.
They found the barely perceptible gaps between the glass panels, squeezed through them, and extended towards the horde of zombies in the deep pit below.
Once these extremely tiny vines successfully entered the space inside the glass, they quickly began to split, thicken, and expand!
In the blink of an eye, the green vine, which had grown from the thickness of a hair to the thickness of an arm, pierced fiercely into the heads of every sleeping zombie below!
This was the first time that Lu Nange and Lu Beiye had witnessed Zhizhi absorbing energy on such a large scale in this way.
The vines connecting the zombies below began to flicker with a vibrant, emerald-green light, as if they were forcibly drawing and transferring some kind of pure energy from the zombies...
As energy rapidly dissipated, the densely packed zombies below the glass silently collapsed and fell to the ground, completely losing all their 'vitality'.
Just as Zhizhi was concentrating on absorbing energy, and the emerald light flickered, Shi Xu, who had been maintaining a high level of mental energy and being responsible for overall vigilance, suddenly changed his expression and rushed to Chi Yanzhou's side, who was clearing out monsters.
"Brother Yan, something's wrong! There's the energy fluctuation of superhumans and high-level zombies! And there are a lot of them!"
Chi Yanzhou's eyes sharpened: "Distance? Number of people?"
Shi Xu: "They're already within 500 meters of the Rock Gate! The number... is over a hundred!"
The strangest thing is that the energy fluctuations of the superhumans and the high-level zombies move almost in perfect synchronization; they're together! This defies all logic!
Chi Yanzhou shouted to his companions who were dealing with the monsters, "Brother Ci, Lao Gu... spread out and take care of all the remaining monsters as quickly as possible! Let's go up and see what's going on!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xici, Gu Qi, and the others' expressions turned solemn. They immediately abandoned their previous cautious approach, and powerful bursts of supernatural energy erupted in each compartment, accompanied by the monsters' mournful screams before their deaths.
At the same time, Chi Yanzhou took out a walkie-talkie: "Nannan, Shixu has detected a large-scale enemy approaching, a mixture of superhumans and high-level zombies, which is rapidly entering the Rock Base."
You all stay down here and watch over the branches until they finish absorbing the nutrients. We'll go up and check on the situation!
Chi Yanzhou's voice came through the walkie-talkie on Lu Nange's waist.
Her eyes narrowed, and almost instantly upon hearing the news, a powerful surge of spiritual energy coursed upwards and spread outwards...
"High-level zombies and superhumans are operating in tandem..." Lu Nange repeated this unusual information in a low voice.
"Looks like... the real boss is back! That Rock Base Commander is definitely not simple! Brother Yan, something's wrong, I'll go up with you!"
After she finished speaking, she immediately looked up, her gaze quickly sweeping across every corner before finally settling on a spot diagonally above her head.
He raised his hand, channeling all his strength into his arm, and a sharp wind blade slashed towards that corner!
"Boom! Crash—"
"Boom! Crash—"
"Boom! Crash—"
