An Ge raised an eyebrow. She had to admit that Wen Zihao had quite the imagination; he was the first to guess that the high-level crystal core might be contaminated last time.
"I'm just guessing. As for the truth, we might run into him again in the future." Of course, if we do run into him again, we'll be on opposing sides.
That being said, An Ge didn't find the guess absurd. Sixth-tier ability users wouldn't lose their minds if they turned into zombies. When faced with a life-threatening situation, some high-tier ability users might also choose to become zombies.
Moreover, Hope Base has some seventh and eighth-tier ability users. These ability users are severely contaminated by crystal cores, so it is not surprising that they would betray humanity under the summons of high-level zombies.
The Immortal Fate Base also has several seventh-tier ability users. An Ge had already purified them when they arrived at the base. In addition, the base is full of vitality, so they were not deeply polluted and were not affected by high-level zombies.
As for eighth and ninth-tier ability users, the Immortal Fate Base doesn't have any yet, and it's hard to know whether to be happy or sad.
Now, many of the high-level superhumans at Hope Base have become zombies. The zombies are stronger than she imagined, and the number of high-level zombies on the other side is still unknown. It will probably not be easy for her and her servants alone.
"They're treating Hope Base like a supply channel!" An Ge exclaimed angrily.
What worries her even more is that Hope Base may only be the beginning. Once the high-level ability users of the major bases all betray her, it will be a devastating blow to Immortal Fate Base.
When An Ge shared her concerns with everyone, they all realized the seriousness of the situation.
Hu Jiu broke the silence first, saying, "There aren't many seventh or eighth-tier ability users to begin with. As long as there's something in the base that's attractive enough to lure them over, that'll be fine."
How do we attract it?
Hu Jiu looked at Wen Zihao with a deep, enigmatic gaze, a smile playing on his lips.
Soon, new rumors began to circulate at the Immortal Fate Base. It was said that the blood of a man named Wen Zihao could not only help zombies advance in rank, but also cure diseases, save lives, and enhance the talents of high-level ability users, allowing them to advance, especially effective for ability users of rank six and above.
Someone was injured and in life-threatening condition, and there was no time to wait for a healer. In desperation, Wen Zihao made the other person drink his blood. The next second, the other person not only fully recovered his vitality, but also successfully advanced to the seventh level of superhuman.
This happened in front of many people, so it can't be faked. After learning about it, everyone looked at Wen Zihao with even greater fervor, as if they had already regarded him as the most precious treasure in the world.
Now Wen Zihao didn't dare to go out and have fun at all, and obediently followed Jiang Shang, not daring to leave his side for a moment.
Upon hearing this, An Ge said to Hu Jiu, "Your move is too underhanded. Wen Zihao used to be just a target for zombies, but now he's practically become a piece of Tang Sanzang's flesh in the eyes of all the superhumans."
"The effect is obvious, isn't it? Several high-level ability users have recently arrived at the base, and I will keep a close eye on them from now on," Hu Jiu said nonchalantly.
Wen Zihao isn't some real Tang Monk's flesh, so how could he possibly be of any help to those with superpowers? It was all just a setup by them.
The superhuman who advanced was Wen Zihao's teammate. He was already one step away from the seventh rank, but he held back his advancement for this performance. For An Ge, recovering from injuries in an instant was simply a matter of taking a pill.
As for whether the news would spread, An Ge wasn't worried, since there were quite a few "outsiders" in the base besides their own people.
"This is a double whammy of internal and external troubles. What will Wen Zihao do in the future?" An Ge rubbed her forehead.
Meng Qiu asked the same question.
Wen Zihao laughed heartily, "Don't worry, if we can defeat the zombies, what does my life matter?" Having exposed his secret, he had long been prepared to sacrifice himself.
Jiang Shang slapped Wen Zihao on the back of the head. "With me here, you can live well even if the gods come. Why say such discouraging things? Since you've become someone else's darling, then make yourself strong, strong enough that no one will dare to bully you."
"Elder Jiang, I want to too, but my special ability is too strange, I have no fighting power at all," Wen Zihao said with a mournful face.
Jiang Shang glared at him. "Who said that? Don't you have spatial abilities? Spatial abilities aren't just for storing things; if used well, they can also be very powerful in attack."
This was the first time Wen Zihao had heard that his spatial ability had other uses. He widened his eyes in surprise, "Huh? Isn't the spatial ability just for storing things?"
"You're ignorant." Jiang Shang looked like a connoisseur. "Most spatial ability users have talent for formations. You can learn formations from my apprentice."
"That's right!" Wen Zihao slapped his forehead, then hesitated, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for the store manager?"
“If you’re stupid, that might really be a problem for her.”
Wen Zihao... he shouldn't have asked that one more question.
When An Ge heard that Wen Zihao wanted to learn formations, she didn't hesitate at all and dumped all the formation-related techniques on him. "This is a good idea. With formations, you can put a protective shield on yourself every day."
Wen Zihao was somewhat embarrassed, "Maybe my talent for formations isn't that good."
"Don't worry, you have to believe in yourself. By the way, take this crystal core, maybe it will help you understand more about spatial elements." An Ge tossed Wen Zihao a seventh-tier crystal core, which they had obtained during their last joint operation.
Wen Zihao didn't stand on ceremony, "I will definitely study spatial abilities carefully."
After Wen Zihao left, An Ge breathed a sigh of relief. At least Wen Zihao had found a way out. Moreover, given his studious nature, he might actually be able to develop many uses for his spatial abilities.
Having resolved Wen Zihao's matter, An Ge shifted all her attention to the seventh and eighth-tier ability users who came to the base. The seventh-tier ability users were fine; without external influences, they wouldn't notice their own problems.
However, the eighth-level ability user clearly realized something was wrong and launched a sneak attack on Wen Zihao first. As expected, he was caught red-handed by Jiang Shang, who was prepared.
An Ge looked at the struggling superhumans and revealed a villainous smile.
"Didn't Sister Tingxue need test subjects just in time? They came at the perfect moment."
Hearing that a war against zombies was about to begin, Liu Tingxue stopped traveling and came to the branch a few days ago, joining Meng Xia's research team.
Now, almost all of Ange's divine servants have come to the branch, but since Shenwa also insisted on coming, Ange decided to leave Il behind to appease him. Although Il also wanted to participate in the battle, he knew that he was still too young to play a significant role, so he decided to stay and watch the store, and also keep Shenwa company.
Touched by Ir's understanding nature, An Ge gently ruffled his hair. The obedient little handsome boy was truly adorable; no wonder Hu Jiu always protected Ir.
Besides Il, at Ange's insistence, Chef Wei and Hogg were also kept behind.
