After a period of effort, Meng Xia's purification ability was upgraded, and she purified the evil energy in Wen Zihao's body in less than half an hour.
Unlike An Ge's ability to expel and eliminate evil energy, Meng Xia's purification ability can transform evil energy into normal energy, and her methods are more gentle.
Ange felt that sometimes fate was really magical, bringing together two chosen ones with the ability to deal with evil.
Meng Xia wiped away her sweat; her face was pale from the excessive use of her powers, but her eyes were filled with joy. What made her even happier than saving Wen Zihao was that she could finally fight alongside Xiao Ge'er.
Wen Zihao moved his arms and was surprised to find that not only did he feel no discomfort, but his superpowers even showed signs of breaking through in the critical moment.
"I'm all better now, and I can start a new round." Wen Zihao's eyes were filled with eager joy, completely different from his previous resistance.
An Ge felt that this guy wasn't as calm and gentle as he seemed on the surface. His ability was too unique, and he didn't have many usable crystal cores, yet he still managed to become a level four ability user, which showed that he worked very hard.
There's a chance for a breakthrough now; I estimate he can run until he's lost too much blood.
An Ge tossed him a blood-replenishing pill, "Eat this before you go." She didn't want Wen Zihao to become the first chosen one to die from excessive blood loss.
Wen Zihao chuckled. After taking the blood-replenishing pill, his pale face, which had been rosy due to excessive blood loss, immediately regained its color. He looked at An Ge with delight, then made another incision for himself.
Ange...
"Hehe, this will attract even more zombies." Looking at the blood gushing out, Wen Zihao cheered and ran off again.
"Has this guy's brain been corrupted by the zombie virus?" Meng Xia looked speechlessly at Wen Zihao, who was running and laughing. Is this the chosen one An Ge was talking about? Has the heavens gone blind?
"Ah, he probably got a taste of the fun of being a tank." An Ge looked at Meng Qiu, who was still slicing through zombies, and then at Wen Zihao, who was running around happily. She sighed. This should be a serious apocalypse, but why does it feel like a game?
The gods behind it probably never imagined that someone would treat the apocalypse like a game.
Lured by Wen Zihao, An Ge trapped several more groups of zombies, but still couldn't find the high-level zombie.
Wen Zihao was panting heavily. Thanks to his efforts, his superpower had successfully advanced. Previously, his superpower was only effective against fifth-tier superpower users at most, but now it could even help seventh-tier superpower users.
Meng Qiu was exhausted after slicing through zombies for half a day, but he had gained a lot this time. His superpower had improved by one level, and he had gained more experience in using wood-type superpowers to attack zombies.
"Sister An, the strongest zombies here are at level five. How powerful must someone be to command level five zombies?"
The fifth-tier zombie already possessed a certain level of rationality, so the zombie behind it must be at least a seventh-tier one.
Keep in mind that the strongest human being right now is only at the eighth rank.
An Ge shook her head. The zombies had no life force, and her divine sense couldn't cover them. She looked at the sky and said, "The zombies will be stronger at night. Let's wait and see."
The group nodded, secretly becoming more vigilant. Nighttime was the most dangerous time; a fierce battle might be brewing.
Then they saw An Ge take out a tent, turn on the lights, and call out to everyone, "Come in and rest, the sound of the zombies outside is disturbing your rest."
Meng Xia was the first to realize that her quality of life wouldn't be low if she followed Xiao Ge'er.
Meng Qiu and Wen Zihao exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. How could they be so at ease amidst a horde of zombies if they didn't have absolute confidence in themselves?
Although they already knew that the shopkeeper was powerful and that a fifth-level zombie was nothing to her, they now had a zombie behind her that could be a seventh-level or even higher.
The difference in strength between level five and level seven is like heaven and earth!
Meng Qiu, considering An Ge's identity, was quite receptive. Sister An must have reached the pinnacle of power in this plane; even higher-level zombies would be no match for her.
Having figured all this out, Meng Qiu put his worries aside. "Brother Zihao, hurry inside, I can smell the aroma of food." With that, he quickly crawled into the tent.
Wen Zihao was stunned for a moment, realizing he was still too inexperienced; look how quick Meng Qiu was to learn! The store manager's extraordinary abilities couldn't be judged by ordinary standards.
An Ge was indeed fearless. With her current strength, as long as she didn't go to higher-level planes, she would be the ceiling of combat power in any plane.
The ceiling of combat power is not unique; there may be an unknown number of beings with similar combat power. Therefore, An Ge was not completely careless. Before entering the tent, she set up an array outside, which would definitely alert her if there were any zombies.
As night falls, the evil energy is at its peak, and so are the zombies.
The group huddled inside the tent, enjoying food and chatting, creating a camping atmosphere. Outside, the trapped zombies roared incessantly; if others heard them, they would probably doubt the reality of what they were seeing.
An Ge held the crystal core of a sixth-tier zombie she had obtained so far, her brows furrowed. Unlike the lower-tier zombies, she had discovered black mist within this crystal core; though scarce, it was enough to warrant her attention.
"Why is there no problem with the crystal cores of low-level zombies?" An Ge muttered to himself.
Wen Zihao suddenly widened his eyes as if he had thought of something. The idea was too terrifying. He opened his mouth for a long time, but still couldn't say his guess.
"What are you thinking about?" An Ge noticed Wen Zihao's hesitation and asked him.
Wen Zihao hesitated for a moment and said, "This is just a guess. Sixth-tier zombies have some rationality, could it be related to the black mist? Moreover, since crystal cores are the main tool for human advancement, could those high-level ability users also be corrupted?"
Seeing everyone staring at him, Wen Zihao quickly waved his hand, "I was just talking nonsense."
He shouldn't have spoken carelessly; by doing so, he's made all high-level ability users suspects.
“No, what you said might have some merit,” An Ge comforted her. “However, we can’t make baseless guesses. I’ll investigate further when I meet a high-level ability user in the future.”
Wen Zihao quickly nodded, "That's what I think too."
Meng Qiu, however, was not optimistic. He felt that Zihao's guess might be true.
The chaos at Hope Base stemmed from the fact that the base's leader had successfully advanced to an eighth-tier ability user.
It was thought that as human ability levels increased, humans would gradually gain the upper hand, but this leader's methods of dealing with zombies after advancing in level were even less intense than before. Could this be related to the leader being corrupted?
Meng Qiu did not voice her guess; as Sister An said, everything was still unknown.
