With Wen Zihao's superpowers and the powerful plants weakening the zombies' energy, the superpowered individuals gained a significant advantage, forcing the zombie horde to retreat.
However, An Ge dared not let his guard down, as the Zombie King had not yet made a move.
While everyone was fighting off zombies in front of the base, things were also not peaceful in the laboratory.
Liu Tingxue crossed her arms and looked contemptuously at the several superhumans who had lost their powers, as if they were looking at something dirty.
"Your leader is incompetent. He dared to send you to attack the lab without even assessing our strength. What's the difference between that and sending them to their deaths?"
Several high-level ability users lay on the ground in agony, asking, "What level of ability user are you?"
"Dealing with you weaklings is more than enough, but you're not worth my personal attention. I'll let you try the poison I recently developed. Hmm, looks like it's working well."
The group looked regretful; their leader hadn't mentioned that there would be such a freakish person in the lab.
Liu Tingxue was too lazy to waste any more words with them. "We don't need high-level ability users for experiments anymore, so you're lucky. Lock them up and wait for Xiaoge'er to decide what to do with them."
After everyone left, Liu Tingxue looked towards the outside of the base with some worry. It must be reaching a crucial moment now, right? It was a pity she couldn't go to help, but she believed Xiaoge'er would definitely defeat her opponent. The experiment was about to succeed; let's celebrate this success for Xiaoge'er.
At the front lines of the Immortal Fate Base, the zombies were severely suppressed; zombies of the same level were no match for the superhumans.
Wen Zihao felt the opposing force gradually disappear and felt smug. "Hmph, they think they can fight me? Overestimating themselves. I've only consumed half a bottle of recovery pills." Just then, he suddenly saw a familiar face among the zombie horde.
"Lou Han!" Wen Zihao's expression was complicated. His former teammate, who had fought alongside him, had become like this. He felt a deep sense of loss.
Lou Han knew who had made the move when the superhumans' strength increased dramatically. His face turned pale, his pupils turned grayish-white, and he completely lost his former handsome appearance. Looking at Wen Zihao at the back of the crowd, Lou Han's eyes were filled with endless hatred.
He roared loudly, his voice carrying clearly, "Wen Zihao, what I can't stand the most is your heroic act. With a great god around, you're just struggling in your death throes. Look, I'm already a seventh-level superpowered being, and I'm even about to break through to the eighth level. That's the power of a god. Why not give up resisting, join us, and create a new world together?"
Seeing Lou Han like this, Wen Zihao understood everything. He put away his pity and said, "Lou Han, I used to think that even if you had impure thoughts, you would never betray humanity. I never thought you would willingly become a lackey of zombies."
"Haha, you were just stubbornly deluded before. Turning to the true God is the only way out."
An Ge raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, the rhetoric seemed familiar. "If your god is really reliable, why are you still acting like a coward at a time like this?"
"You are not allowed to insult my gods."
"Ha! Rhodes is not worthy of my insult!"
Lou Han was furious and prepared to unleash his dual lightning and fire abilities to kill Wen Zihao. Before he could make a move, a white-haired old man suddenly appeared in front of him, glaring angrily. "Don't you even know who's protecting Wen Zihao? I'm itching for a fight, and you've just barged in."
"Who are you?" Lou Han was shocked. He clearly did not sense any energy fluctuations from him, but the pressure from the other party made him tremble all over, as if he were facing a god.
"You're not even human, you don't deserve to know my name." After saying that, Jiang Shang swung his fist and knocked Lou Han to the ground with a single punch.
Yes, it's in the ground.
An Ge stared at the large crater in the ground, swallowing hard. She rarely saw her master make a move, and even when he did, it was usually with spells or swordsmanship. This was the first time she had ever seen such direct power.
That's so...inelegant!
Is this the power of a Nascent Soul Body Cultivator? An Ge was somewhat tempted and prepared to practice Body Cultivation in the future. Just when An Ge thought he would continue to attack and ensure that Lou Han was dead beyond any doubt, he saw his master wave his hand, fill in the soil next to him, and then stomp on it forcefully.
"A corpse should have a place where it belongs."
Ange... That being said, why does it seem a bit frivolous?
As she pondered, she tossed a few seeds into the soil and channeled her spiritual energy. Soon, a large tree sprouted from the spot where Lou Han had been buried. Still somewhat uneasy, An Ge set up a spirit-gathering array around the tree.
With such vibrant plants and formations around, even if Lou Han hadn't died just now, he was close to it. An Ge wasn't worried at all that he would sprout from the ground.
An Ge couldn't rest easy as the zombie king hadn't made a move. She knew Hu Jiu and the others' strength better than anyone, and the fact that they had been gone for a while meant those zombies were extremely troublesome.
If his subordinates are this difficult to deal with, then the zombie king must be even more so.
Ange was considering whether to take the initiative to pursue it. After all, others couldn't locate its existence because of their divine power, but she had divine power and the Eye of Detection, so she didn't need to worry about that.
Looking up, she saw the superhumans frantically killing zombies, using their powers as if they were free. A strange feeling stirred within her; weren't these superhumans acting too crazed? It was as if they were possessed.
Suddenly, An Ge's mind cleared, and she immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Stop it, everyone!"
The superhumans seemed not to hear An Ge's words, focusing only on killing the zombies with all their might.
"Xiao Qi!"
Xiao Qi transformed into a white tiger and roared angrily at the distance. With the tiger's roar, the superhumans who were about to cut off the zombie's head found themselves attacking their own comrade.
"What's going on? I was fighting zombies, how did it turn into you?"
"I'd like to ask you the same thing. Did you inflict these injuries on me?"
"The medical team is coming quickly. He's seriously injured. I... I didn't mean to."
The sounds rose and fell, and what disturbed them more than the fact that their teammates were injured was that they had no idea what had happened.
"Don't panic, everyone. It's just an illusion. Fortunately, we discovered it in time. Xiao Qi's Tiger Roar can dispel all illusions, so you don't have to worry about mistaking the target anymore." Just as everyone was panicking, An Ge's words rang out, instantly calming everyone down.
"If the leader says everything's alright, then everything's alright. Those damned zombies are making us kill each other! I'll fight to the death!"
An Ge looked into the distance, knowing that the Zombie King had made his move. "A psychic ability?"
Mental ability users are even rarer than healing ability users. This ability is unpredictable, and even high-level ability users can easily be caught off guard when facing mental ability users.
This is the first time An Ge has seen a psychic ability user in the apocalypse. Moreover, the ability to materialize illusions indicates that the user's ability level is not low, perhaps even reaching level ten.
Fortunately, Xiao Qi's ability was just right to counter it, but what worried An Ge was that mental ability users had more than just illusions.
