The sky was already turning a pale white, and the faint light of dawn slowly bathed the eastern horizon, barely outlining the grotesque contours of this ruin.
The charred ruins, the congealed dark red bloodstains, and the scattered weapon fragments revealed the horrific scene of last night's fierce battle...
Lu Nange nodded slightly in response to Lin Shuang and Hu Jiao's greetings.
Her gaze quickly swept over the golden cone marked with Shika Kitano's symbol not far away, and she felt slightly reassured...
"They're here!" Shi Xu exclaimed, closing his eyes and concentrating: "...at least fifty level three or higher ability users, and...level five...and even level six zombie energy fluctuations!"
Shi Xu's face paled: "Nan Nan, it seems there are even higher-level zombies..."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a rapid and chaotic buzzing sound came from the walkie-talkies clipped to the waists of Si Sheng, Jin Xiao, Lin Shuang, and others, followed by a weak and intermittent male voice.
"Base...base commander...high-level ability users...and...high-level zombies...lots of them...they're heading in your direction...be careful..."
The sound abruptly stopped, leaving only unsettling electrical noise; clearly, the person on the other end of the communication was in grave danger.
"Hua Zi... A Sheng! It's Hua Zi's voice!" Jin Xiao's expression suddenly changed.
Lu Nange: "Brother Zhuo, seal this entrance completely first... make it indistinguishable from the surrounding area!"
...The rest of you with your abilities, Flameheart, follow me! We're preparing to engage the enemy!
"Sister, leave it to me!" He Zhuo responded and waved his hands, instantly unleashing a surge of powerful earth-elemental energy.
Accompanied by a low rumbling sound, the surrounding soil, gravel, and even some smaller pieces of building debris rose from the ground and quickly gathered at the broken gate.
Layer upon layer, they pressed and merged together, forming a wall of earth and stone in the blink of an eye. This not only sealed off the entrance but also blended perfectly with the surrounding dilapidated environment.
He Zhuo patted the dust off his hands: [As expected of me! I blend in perfectly with the surrounding environment and am not easily noticed.]
Even if something unexpected happens, with A-Ye's strength, breaking out from inside wouldn't be difficult for him!
"Hey! Wait for me!" he shouted as he quickened his pace.
As the Flameheart team members shifted their formation, they followed Lu Nange and Chi Yanzhou, moving quickly and orderly toward the gate of the Rock Base.
Their footsteps trod across scorched earth and rubble, their eyes resolute. Despite the inevitable fatigue after a night of fierce fighting, their fighting spirit only grew stronger.
Si Sheng immediately made a decision: "Follow me!"
The people at Starlight Base quickly adjusted their stance and followed closely behind Flameheart's team, actively facing the approaching enemy together.
Three minutes later, in a relatively open square, surrounded by collapsed houses and crisscrossing cracks...
The two groups met face to face on a narrow path.
Lu Nange and her group's attention was immediately drawn to those extremely conspicuous figures in the enemy's formation.
Those were dozens of zombies that showed no signs of agitation or aggression!
They were not scattered and disorderly, but stood neatly beside or even behind the other superhumans, without the frenzy and roars of ordinary zombies, their posture exuding a sense of "discipline".
This illogical scene was more terrifying than any horde of ferocious zombies.
What's even more chilling are their pupils—yellow, green, and even cyan!
Gu Wan's pupils constricted slightly, and she exclaimed in a low voice, "Nan Nan... Level four, Level five... and even Level six zombies! Good heavens... where did they get so many high-level zombies from?"
