Ange found an open space and set up the building, but it wasn't open to the public yet. The introduction explained that the equipment was very valuable.
She soon learned the reason for the research lab's appearance. Looking at the several elderly gentlemen with gray hair that Meng Xia had brought over and the superhumans behind them, An Ge couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.
In this hopeless apocalypse, where morality has collapsed, there are always some who disregard their own safety and fight for the cause of humanity.
"Welcome to the Immortal Fate Base. There's a place that's perfect for you."
Before everyone could recover from the fact that the leader of the Immortal Fate Base was a young and beautiful woman, they were led to the research lab. Upon seeing the room full of equipment, someone excitedly forgot all restraint and let out a loud "Aww!"
They left in a hurry this time and didn't bring a lot of equipment with them. They were thinking of finding an opportunity to transport it over later, but they didn't expect that the Immortal Fate Base would prepare a complete set of equipment for them.
The variety and style of these devices are far superior to the ones they are desperately trying to protect.
An elderly professor looked at An Ge gratefully, "With these, I believe we will definitely eradicate the zombie virus and restore peace to this world. Chief An, you are the savior of all mankind."
An Ge quickly shook her head, "I can only provide some external assistance; the key lies with you all. With your help, I believe this world will surely become a beautiful and lush place."
After the researchers arrived, Meng Xia put aside her desire to "compete for favor" and devoted herself to the research every day. Although she lacked research knowledge, her ability to travel between stars to introduce advanced knowledge and her purification ability to cleanse the black mist were of great help to the research.
To ensure the research proceeded more smoothly, An Ge even transferred Rong Zhuo over to work with him long-term.
Seeing that everyone had their own things to do, An Ge didn't want to stay any longer. The number of zombies around the inn was decreasing, but there were still quite a few zombies further away from the inn.
Ange joined a zombie-clearing team as an ordinary healing ability user and soon faced the team's first mission.
There were five people on this trip, all of whom were new to the base. The strongest among them was a fifth-tier ice-type ability user who was said to have been rescued by the guard team a few months ago. He was considered to be one of the stronger members of the group.
An Ge adjusted her superpower to level four, which was neither outstanding nor a hindrance. Even so, the team still treated her like a treasure, which shows how popular healing superpowers are.
Led by their captain Cheng Jiang, the group arrived at a shopping mall. This place, once bustling with people, was now a haven for zombies.
"Everyone be careful, especially Xian Ge, don't stray too far from your teammates," Cheng Jiang specifically reminded them.
An Ge, who was in a daze, quickly replied upon hearing this, "Don't worry, Captain, I care about my life more than anyone else."
Perhaps because of Cheng Jiang's special ability, this captain usually gives people a cold feeling, but he still cares about his teammates in subtle ways.
Someone immediately chimed in, "Don't worry, Captain. This is a treatment we finally found. We'll protect Xiange even if it costs us our lives."
The team members nodded in agreement. A healer who was both incredibly skilled and beautiful was truly the treasure of the team.
An Ge gave a kind smile; these team members were quite nice.
The group carefully opened the mall doors, ignoring the scattered supplies. The inn was well-stocked; these long-spoiled goods were beneath their notice.
The mall was pitch black, and everyone was on high alert. Lights could attract the zombies' attention, and unsure of their strength, they dared not turn on the lights.
However, An Ge didn't have this kind of trouble. She looked around curiously and was stunned when she accidentally met Cheng Jiang's gaze.
Is Cheng Jiang also able to see things clearly in the dark?
Just then, Cheng Jiang whispered, "My night vision is probably better than yours, so remember to stick close to me."
An Ge understood, and was secretly surprised by Cheng Jiang's strength.
Suddenly, a zombie leaped out of a room. The group immediately surrounded An Ge and quickly eliminated it. Before they could even catch their breath, several more zombies appeared.
"Damn, these zombies are only level three, and they can even use feints?" Old Feng is a strength-based ability user with a fiery temper.
"There might be a higher-level zombie commanding us. There's a window to the west with a good view. Everyone, hurry up." Cheng Jiang's calm voice gradually dispelled the team's unease. An Ge couldn't help but sigh, "Cheng Jiang is truly a qualified captain."
The group quickly ran to the light and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Captain, if there really are high-level zombies, should we go back to base to report?" The strongest among them is only level five, they are no match for them at all.
Cheng Jiang thought for a moment, then looked at An Ge who was being protected, and said, "Okay, let's hurry back. My biggest worry is that the other side may have already noticed us. Xiange, remember to stick close to me in a bit."
An Ge didn't notice anything unusual, but the presence of zombies is usually subtle, so it's possible she didn't detect it.
"Captain, I'm not as weak as you think."
Cheng Jiang chuckled softly, "I understand."
The team members exchanged glances; their captain seemed to treat Xiange somewhat differently. Well, given how good Xiange was, it was understandable that their captain acted this way.
An Ge frowned but didn't say anything more.
Led by Cheng Jiang, the group carefully made their way back. Just as they were about to leave the mall, a level six zombie suddenly blocked their path. They heard a clattering sound, and the next second, metal objects, including ironware and shelves, attacked them from all directions.
"Oh no, it's a sixth-tier metal-type mutant zombie!" Cheng Jiang quickly warned.
"Ah!" A team member was accidentally hit by a heavy object, and blood immediately flowed out.
An Ge immediately stepped forward, mobilized her spiritual power, and in just a few breaths, the wounds of the injured team members were completely healed.
"Xiange, you're amazing! You're even more powerful than a fifth-tier ability user."
An Ge had tried her best to control her energy, but unfortunately her spiritual and life force was too concentrated, making her different from others. "The effect is good, but it consumes a lot of energy. Everyone should be careful. If too many people get injured, I might not be able to take care of them all."
Everyone looked at her somewhat pale face and nodded silently.
The sixth-tier ability users had regained some composure; seeing their initial attack fail, they immediately changed their strategy. They dodged and weaved while searching for an opportunity to counterattack.
"Watch out!" Suddenly, a sharp blade came flying towards An Ge. Just as An Ge was about to dodge, Cheng Jiang appeared and blocked the attack for her.
"Ugh!" Cheng Jiang cried out in pain as he was stabbed.
"team leader!"
"I'm fine, how's Xiange?" Cheng Jiang asked immediately with concern.
An Ge's eyes held an ambiguous look. Was Captain Cheng being too kind to her?
