He raised his hands high, and streaks of lightning ripped through the sky, striking the zombie's head, which was covered in hideous wounds, with pinpoint accuracy.
The zombie's body began to tremble uncontrollably. It tried to retreat and escape, but Vansa didn't give it that chance at all.
Wan Sha was currently focused on controlling her earth-based superpower.
With a gentle wave of her hands, the earth seemed to respond to her call, and countless grains of sand quickly gathered, like invisible shackles, firmly fixing the zombie's massive lower body to the hard ground.
The zombies' struggles became futile.
So what if it has speed-based abilities? Once it's caught, its abilities become useless.
At this critical moment, Xiao Jin, wielding the Shattered Shadow, flashed forward.
She seized the opportunity, her figure flashing out like a ghost. Her long sword sliced through the air, leaving a silver trail, and with lightning speed, she accurately struck the zombie's already teetering head.
With a crisp "snap," the zombie's head finally separated from its body and rolled to the ground, its eyes, once filled with murderous desire, forever losing their luster.
"Phew, it's over." The other ability users responsible for clearing out the low-level zombies finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the level four zombies remained alive, they lived in constant fear.
Now that the threat has been eliminated, the clearing out of the remaining zombies went exceptionally smoothly.
A few minutes later, the area around the repair shop returned to calm.
They need to rest here a bit more this time. The group of people, who had overused their powers, looked a little pale and their steps were unsteady.
Apart from An Xiang, Pan Lizhi, and Liu Chong, everyone else needs to recover their strength, including Wan Sha.
Over here, Xiao Jin plunged the knife into the head of the level four zombie. The next second, she held a towel in her hand and wrapped the zombie's crystal core inside.
The others couldn't help but glance at this and their eyes flickered slightly.
They already knew the function of zombie crystal cores, but they could only obtain level 1 or 2 crystal cores before, and had rarely seen level 3 ones.
Seeing that Xiao Jin had put away the crystal core without saying a word, some people were immediately unhappy.
But the most capable ones remained silent, and they dared not be the first to speak up.
"Hey..." You're not the only one killing zombies, so why should the crystal core go to you?
An Xiang was about to reprimand Xiao Jin when Pan Lizhi stopped him.
Pan Lizhi shook his head at An Xiang, and upon seeing this, An Xiang's lips trembled and he stopped speaking.
Seeing this, the others dared not ask Xiao Jin for the crystal core.
………………
Inside the repair shop, Lu Jiawei was hiding in the inner room, silent, but the anxiety between his brows revealed his inner turmoil.
"Why aren't they back yet!" He clenched his fist.
Pan Lizhi and the others had been gone for a while, and Lu Jiawei could still hear the sounds of fighting and the roars of zombies.
He remembered Pan Lizhi's words and kept quiet.
Finally, Lu Jiawei heard the sounds outside weaken and then disappear completely.
A moment later, a series of footsteps entered the repair shop. Lu Jiawei's face lit up with joy, and he quickly jumped out from behind.
"Are you alright?" Seeing everyone, he finally felt relieved.
"Tch." Liu Chong snorted coldly, and Wan Sha glanced at Liu Jiawei with disdain.
An Xiang nodded: "Young Master Lu, the zombies have been cleared out, and the repair shop is safe now." After saying that, he secretly glanced at Xiao Jin.
However, Lu Jiawei did not notice.
"Alright, you guys recover your powers first, then we'll leave."
"Huh?" At this moment, one of the superhumans suddenly exclaimed in confusion, "Where's Xiao Guo?!"
Pan Lizhi's heart skipped a beat. Yes, where was he?
The group exchanged glances, looking bewildered. It seemed... they hadn't seen him since the zombies appeared.
"I'm here~"
"Damn, what the hell!" The sudden eerie sound startled An Xiang.
Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw Xiao Guo, covered in dust, crawling out from under a car on the other side of the repair shop.
It turns out that when the incident happened, everyone was busy fighting the zombies, and Lu Jiawei was busy hiding, so no one paid any attention to Xiao Guo.
Left with no other choice, Xiao Guo could only find a safe hiding place and go inside, only daring to emerge once it was safe to do so.
"Ahem, it's alright, come here!" Liu Chong coughed awkwardly.
This living map, which should have been protected, has been completely forgotten by everyone!
Xiao Guo chuckled, though he was furious. He knew he needed these superhumans to get through this, so he had to suppress his anger.
After resting for more than an hour, Pan Lizhi and the others had recovered about 60% of their superpowers. Seeing that it was getting late, they decided to continue their journey.
Along the way, we encountered zombies in small numbers as well as in large numbers.
Inevitably, Xiao Jin finally made a move in front of Lu Jiawei.
At first, Lu Jiawei was startled when he saw Xiao Jin chopping down zombies, but he didn't think much of it.
After all, these zombies had limited abilities, and Xiao Jin didn't go all out. Lu Jiawei assumed that she had learned a few moves before the apocalypse.
This level of insecurity is not enough to make him wary.
For some reason, Pan Lizhi and An Xiang didn't mention a word about Xiao Jin's behavior outside the repair shop earlier...
Finally, at four o'clock in the afternoon, as the sun was setting, the superpowered team arrived outside the research institute.
Instead of rushing in, they cautiously formed a circle, looking at the printed map on the hood of the car in front.
"This is the internal topographical map of the research institute." Xiao Guo said in a low voice, "Previously, the higher-ups specially dispatched micro-robots to infiltrate the research institute and find out the distribution of the zombies very clearly."
