The third wave of attacks came a little later than Ange had anticipated. Although she had repaired the shield as quickly as possible, it couldn't hold out for long against zombies of level four and above.
The members of Meng Qiu's team have not yet recovered their strength. With the loss of a wood-type ability user who poses a great threat to zombies on the battlefield, everyone is on edge.
"My God, even the vanguard is a level 5 zombie. Just how many high-level zombies are there?"
"The highest level we have here is only seventh rank. Can we really defeat them?"
"Don't let the zombies' spirits dampen your own. We have a leader here; the worst that can happen is we get bitten."
"That's true. Everyone, cheer up. Don't forget, we're not afraid of being bitten by zombies."
Seeing the troops gradually regaining their morale, An Ge breathed a sigh of relief. The zombies' strength had exceeded her expectations; if morale didn't drop, the battle would be in danger.
Hu Jiu, Lu Yan, and the others looked into the distance, exchanged a glance, and then leaped towards the horde of zombies. They still couldn't catch the zombie king, but at least three or four level-nine zombies were directing them from behind. The key was to capture the leader first; the divine servants had been holding back their strength for this moment.
As for the Zombie King, he was left to An Ge at her insistence. Hu Jiu originally wanted to object, but couldn't go against An Ge's insistence, and with Jiang Shang present, he finally relented.
Shortly after Hu Jiu and his group left, the zombies, which had been attacking in a regular pattern, suddenly lost their rhythm. Clearly, the leaders had no time to direct the zombies and were engaged in a fierce battle with Hu Jiu and his group.
As everyone struggled to resist, they suddenly felt their strength draining away.
"What's going on? Why has my power regressed?"
"And me, I was clearly a sixth-level ability user, but now I'm only a fifth-level one."
"I'm in an even worse situation; I've regressed from the fourth tier to the second tier."
Many people who were fighting zombies suddenly had their superpowers weakened, and if they were not careful, they were attacked by zombies and could only endure the pain and keep retreating.
The moment her powers were weakened, Ange sensed something was wrong with the team. She continuously released her life force to heal the ability users.
After finishing her work in the laboratory, Meng Xia and Gu Yixin, along with the treatment team, immediately began purifying the black mist for the bitten ability users.
After purifying one of the superhumans, Gu Yixin wiped her sweat. "Luckily, I did some research on healing abilities as the shopkeeper told me before, and developed a healing-type ability to purify zombies. Otherwise, with so many injured people, healing alone really wouldn't have been enough."
Although Meng Xia's level wasn't high, her purification ability was stronger than Gu Yixin's. However, because she had purified two high-level ability users in a row, her condition wasn't much better than Gu Yixin's. When she heard Gu Yixin's words, she didn't forget to say, "Little Ge'er is always right."
An Ge breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the mostly purified ability users. Fortunately, the zombies' power was unknown, so they didn't venture too deep into the zombie horde and were able to return to the base immediately. In addition, the protective shield still had some effect, at least it could stop the zombies' advance. Not many people were bitten, which gave An Ge and the medical team time to purify themselves.
Otherwise, if this happens suddenly, even if so many superhumans don't die, they will miss the best opportunity for purification.
This decrease in power didn't last long; soon, the superhumans felt their abilities return. However, after what had just happened, their counterattacks were much more conservative, let alone invading the zombie horde and wreaking havoc.
As An Ge watched the superhumans constantly fighting against zombies outside the base, she suddenly thought of Wen Zihao's superpower, which seemed to be exactly the opposite of his.
Wen Zihao also realized something was wrong. "Manager, this power makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. It may really be from the same source as my power."
"They are a group, you are an individual, so you are different."
Wen Zihao scratched his head. "No, I've also developed a group support ability. However, this method is too taxing on me. I was just about to ask the shopkeeper if they still have any of those recovery pills they gave Meng Qiu before?"
An Ge took out several bottles of pills and handed them to Wen Zihao, saying, "I must say, you are an extremely qualified chosen one, both in terms of temperament and talent."
Wen Zihao was puzzled. He had heard Elder Jiang complain about his strangeness as the chosen one of destiny several times, but now was not the time to dwell on that. He took the pill, took a deep breath, and began to release his supernatural power.
The superhumans, who were carefully fighting against the zombies, suddenly felt a strange power. Then they felt their bodies filled with power, and their superhuman abilities were enhanced to varying degrees.
"This is strange, what's going on? Can ability levels be changed so easily?"
"Idiot, it's Deputy Leader Wen. He's using his superpower to increase our strength."
"My God, this is the first time I've known that Vice Captain Wen's superpower is so amazing. Haha, I can feel like I could kill a level four zombie with one hand right now."
"Hurry up, everyone! With support behind us, we don't need to worry about turning into zombies. If we get injured, the medical team will help us immediately. What do we have to be afraid of? I'm going to dig out all the cores of these zombies today!"
The moment Wen Zihao unleashed his superpower, the previously low morale soared again.
The superhumans fought the zombies fearlessly, but soon their abilities began to decline. Before they could even worry, their abilities would increase again. This repeated several times, leaving the superhumans speechless.
They were initially worried about being attacked by zombies when their powers were waning, but after a few times, they strangely adapted. When their powers were about to decline, they would mainly dodge, and when their powers returned, they would mainly attack.
Thus, a scene unfolded on the battlefield where the superhumans seemed to be following orders, collectively dodging and attacking, making those unaware of the truth think they were toying with zombies.
While swallowing pills, Wen Zihao increased the output of his supernatural power. His opponent was clearly not willing to give up, and the two continued to pull each other with their strength.
"Are you alright?" An Ge asked Wen Zihao with some concern.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, the other side doesn't have any pills to replenish their strength. I'll wear him down!" Wen Zihao said fiercely.
Seeing that although there was blood on his lips, he seemed to be in good spirits and still had the will to fight, An Ge breathed a sigh of relief. She continued to fight her way into the horde of zombies, occasionally repairing the formation as well, keeping herself very busy.
With Meng Qiu's team absent, An Ge took on the responsibility of planting trees. With a wave of her hand, she released energy as the seeds fell to the ground, and in no time, they grew into various plants. Not only were they faster than Meng Qiu's team, but their vitality was also much stronger. Even sixth and seventh-tier zombies had their abilities limited under the influence of these plants.
The ability users were stunned for a moment when they saw the vegetables that had grown so quickly. They were shocked by the power of Ange's wood-type ability and were also speechless. Did their leader have a hobby of growing vegetables? Most of the plants that had grown were various kinds of fruits and vegetables.
Fighting zombies while filling your stomach seems pretty good, doesn't it?
