Spatial abilities!
An Ge felt a little regretful. How stupid of her! She should have thought of that earlier. She had actually forgotten that the other party might have spatial abilities!
With the zombie king suddenly disappearing, the already weakened zombies were left leaderless. Hu Jiu and the others returned at this moment, and together with the superhumans, they wiped out the demoralized zombies.
"We won again? Haha, we actually managed to wipe out the high-level zombies, that's amazing."
"The one who's really powerful isn't you, it's the leader and his group. Even the Zombie King couldn't beat the leader. Thinking about that, I have no fear of zombies at all."
"Who isn't? I wonder what the Zombie King's crystal core looks like. Will the leader let us see it later?"
"Stop thinking about it, hurry up and recover your powers. The leader said that the battle is not over yet, the zombie king is not dead, and he may launch a counterattack when we are off guard."
Everyone knew the battle was not truly over, but they could not contain their joy at the resounding victory.
Unlike the others' optimism, An Ge's expression was somewhat solemn. The Zombie King was injured, but he would never back down because of that. Recalling the provocative smile he gave her before leaving, she grew increasingly uneasy.
"The Zombie King must have had something even more to rely on to leave, even at the cost of leaving so many high-level zombies behind on the battlefield."
Hu Jiu paused for a moment, "When I was fighting the zombie leader, he kept using divine power to resist. If his divine power hadn't been completely exhausted in the end, we might have had a much longer battle."
“Me too,” Lu Yan echoed.
Everyone also said that the zombies they fought were all empowered by divine power.
"It seems that Rhodes values this plane more than I thought, otherwise he wouldn't have unleashed so much divine power. Fortunately, most of the high-level zombies have been eliminated, so now we only need to worry about what tricks the Zombie King will pull." Ange frowned, a bad feeling creeping into her mind.
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Sooner or later we'll face the Zombie King, and then we'll see. Don't forget, we still have Elder Jiang backing us up," Hu Jiu comforted him.
Jiang Shang also said, "That's right, with Master around, how could you be bullied?"
An Ge chuckled, putting these worries behind her. Thinking of the message Liu Tingxue had sent, she gave a cold smile. "Let's leave the zombie king aside for now. There are more important things to deal with."
At the gate of the Immortal Destiny Base, Cheng Jiang was preparing to leave as usual.
"I'm sorry, Captain Cheng, but these are special times. The leader has instructed us that it's best not to leave the base recently."
Cheng Jiang was somewhat displeased. "I know the leader is doing this for everyone's good, but I'm already a sixth-level ability user. Even if I encounter zombies, I have nothing to worry about. Besides, we've eliminated most of the high-level zombies, so it's safer outside."
Just as the guard was about to say something, someone rushed over and whispered something in his ear. After listening, the guard's gaze towards Cheng Jiang became even more resolute. "We must obey the leader's orders. Captain Cheng, please proceed."
"This is restricting personal freedom. Hope Base has never done this before. What gives you the right?"
Cheng Jiang's loud questioning drew the curiosity of many people.
After inquiring, everyone learned the reason. Most people understood, while a small number felt that Cheng Jiang's words made sense. They had just contributed to the base, so why should their freedom be restricted?
Suddenly someone said, "I remember there were a few high-level ability users at the base before, how come I've never seen them?"
The group, reminded, realized that something like that might be true. Just as they were wondering what was going on, they suddenly heard a mocking voice, "Naturally, it's because I arrested them."
"Leader!" the crowd called out respectfully, while pondering An Ge's words.
Did they hear that right? The leader captured a high-level ability user? Could it be because they wanted to capture Vice Captain Wen?
Cheng Jiang looked at An Ge with a complicated expression, "Chief An, you've restricted everyone from leaving, don't you owe us an explanation?"
An Ge smiled brightly and shook her index finger. "There are no restrictions, it's just a suggestion. But what you said isn't entirely wrong, I did instruct you not to leave."
"Why?" Cheng Jiang asked, his eyes darting around. Everyone else looked at An Ge with confusion.
"The leader of Hope Base went through all the trouble of concealing his identity to come to Immortal Fate Base, but hasn't achieved his goal yet. What's the point of leaving?"
Cheng Jiang was shocked. "What leader of Hope Base? Xuan Ge, we fought side by side before. Don't you know best what kind of person I am? I didn't know your strength back then, and I risked my life to save you. If I were really the leader of Hope Base, why would I save you?"
"Because you want me to owe you a favor! Should I call you Cheng Jiang or Jiang Sheng? You said you're here to infiltrate, couldn't you at least use a different name?"
The people in Cheng Jiang's squad were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time before finally finding their voices, "Leader, isn't there some misunderstanding? How could Captain Cheng be the leader of Hope Base?"
Before An Ge could speak, Cheng Jiang smiled helplessly, "That's right, I am Jiang Sheng. Hope Base and Immortal Fate Base are at odds. If I came openly, Chief An would definitely not agree. But I really want to contribute to humanity, so I concealed my identity. Chief An won't blame me for this, will he?"
"Don't make it sound so righteous. When you arrived, the zombies hadn't even focused their attention on Hope Base yet. Besides, if you wanted to make a contribution, you could hide your identity, but why hide your strength? I don't believe that the leader of Hope Base is just a sixth-level ability user."
Jiang Sheng's expression changed. "So what if that's the case? I can't deny that I did help the base a lot. I have my own difficulties. Chief An isn't such a petty person, is he?"
An Ge sneered, "You did help a lot, but you ended up making things worse. Wasn't it you who weakened the level of superhumans on the battlefield back then?"
"What!" Before everyone could process Jiang Sheng's identity, they heard An Ge say something that made them grit their teeth in hatred.
Jiang Sheng sensed the anger of the crowd and swallowed hard. "Chief An, are you joking? Why would I, a human, betray everyone on the battlefield? Even if you want to frame me, this charge is too absurd."
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Chief, what exactly is going on?"
An Ge looked coldly at Jiang Sheng, "Are you still human now? Jiang Sheng, if I'm not mistaken, you already joined the zombie camp when you advanced to level eight, right? To be more precise, now that you've advanced to a level nine ability user, you're already a half-zombie."
An Ge opened her hand, and a green ball of light appeared in her palm. "The Zombie King can resist my life force. Do you think you can?"
Feeling that uncomfortable force, Jiang Sheng could no longer maintain his calm expression.
