Ruan Yuling quickly said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. The sewers along the way have been sealed off by Vulcan. The zombies can't find the sewers and won't be able to get down. Even if they can get down, we have three officers here who can handle the zombies. Please stay calm and evacuate quickly and in an orderly manner."
Ruan Yuling's words calmed everyone down, and the group continued their journey, even faster than before.
"Chief, may I ask you a question?"
A young man at the very back of the line, closest to Zhang Yun, who had been turning his head to look at him the whole way, suddenly asked.
"you say."
"The superpowers they're talking about, are they like the abilities in science fiction movies, like controlling water and fire?" The young man's eyes were full of longing.
Zhang Yun smiled and nodded, "You're right."
The young man's eyes lit up. "Then what is your special ability, leader?"
He suddenly felt embarrassed after asking that question, scratched his head, and said, "I'm sorry, did I ask something I shouldn't have..."
"It's okay, there's no need to keep it a secret."
When Zhang Yun said this, everyone, including Ruan Yuling, perked up their ears.
They also wanted to know what Zhang Yun's special ability was.
"I awakened a spatial ability, and I'm currently at level four."
"Space...?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then said, "You mean that kind of superpower that allows you to teleport instantly?"
Zhang Yun nodded with a smile.
"Holy crap! That's so cool!" The young man jumped up excitedly.
Ruan Yuling and the others looked enlightened. They realized why the bullets that were originally aimed at Zhang Yun had inexplicably hit their own people. It turned out that spatial abilities could be manipulated in this way. It was terrifying!
"What's your name?" Zhang Yun asked.
"Chief, my name is Chen Bin, Chen of the East, and Bin of the Wood." Chen Bin said quickly.
"Chen Bin, once you get to the base, train hard and kill a few more zombies. Maybe you can awaken your powers too," Zhang Yun said with a smile.
"Yes!" Chen Bin nodded vigorously.
The group continued to move forward quietly and finally arrived at the underground sewer exit of Nantang Street.
Originally, the zombies in this area had been cleared out by Li Lin'an and his men, but due to the activity of people underground, a large number of zombies followed them after hearing the noise.
Sensing Li Lin'an and his group on the ground, the zombies immediately abandoned the meat they couldn't get underground and charged towards them.
Li Lin'an and his team were prepared for this.
The numerous abandoned cars on Nantang Street had been cleverly positioned by them, and although there were many zombies, they were forced to disperse due to the obstacles.
Several cars honked their horns frantically, luring a large number of zombies to an open area in the distance, and then suddenly sped away.
The open space exploded instantly at the moment when the zombies were most concentrated. The fire cloud expanded in mid-air, blasting away all the zombies that had been drawn to that open space.
After eliminating several thousand zombies in one go, the car drivers repeated the same tactic, honking their horns to lure the zombies to a distant ambush point where they were blown up.
After the zombies near the exit were cleared, Li Lin'an and his men surrounded the exit with their vehicles. He and his men guarded the perimeter and used silenced guns to kill any zombies that slipped through.
Yang Shize was the first to jump onto the ground and rush over to slaughter everyone.
One by one, the survivors emerged from underground and were put into vehicles.
The elderly, the sick, and children rode in buses, while the adults were crammed into trucks converted into armored vehicles.
Just then, the ground began to shake in an unusual way.
From the direction of the urban area of Jingu District, swarms of zombies filled everyone's view.
Ruan Yuling looked at the endless zombies in the distance, gripped the gun in her hand tightly, and tried to calm the fear in her heart.
Qin Dong and his team handed over the task of helping the elderly and the wounded to other survivors, picked up their guns, and took the initiative to go to the front line.
"Drive, take everyone and go first."
After everyone had quickly boarded the trucks, Zhang Yun gave orders to the truck drivers.
The truck drivers wiped their eyes, started their vehicles, and drove onto the highway.
The passengers on the bus crowded around the windows, watching the people who had intercepted the zombies for them, crying uncontrollably. Some had covered their faces and dared not look anymore.
The zombie army rushed into firing range, and gunfire rang out continuously. Although the zombies were killed, the effect was minimal.
There are just too many zombies in front of us!
Li Lin'an and Qin Dong had run out of ammunition. Ruan Yuling dropped her gun and pulled a dagger from her boot.
Seeing that they were about to engage in close combat with the zombie army, everyone took out their weapons, ready to follow Yang Shize and charge in for hand-to-hand fighting.
Suddenly, a cell phone appeared in front of Zhang Yun.
"Do you have gasoline?" The four large black characters plus a punctuation mark were clearly visible on the white screen.
Zhang Yun's eyes lit up instantly, and he shouted, "Li Lin'an, Ruan Yuling, lead everyone to evacuate! Yang Shize, surround these zombies!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Shize suddenly punched a three-story building next to him, knocking down one of its first-floor walls. The building, now out of balance, collapsed, blocking the road behind it.
Li Lin'an and Ruan Lingyu led the others to jump onto the collapsed floor. Several of Li Lin'an's all-around evolved beings stayed behind, imitating Yang Shize by smashing down the surrounding buildings to block the zombies.
Zhang Yun teleported above the zombie army, and black gasoline rained down on him like raindrops.
Zhang Yun teleported continuously in the air, ensuring that the diesel fuel evenly covered all the zombies.
"Send me to the middle of the zombies." Qi Heng looked at Yang Shize.
Yang Shize grabbed his combat uniform and leaped to the center of the zombie army.
Flames erupted from Qi Heng's body, automatically bypassing Yang Shize beside him, instantly clearing out all the zombies in the vicinity and creating a no-man's-land about a hundred meters wide.
Then, flames burst forth from him, striking the zombies that had been doused in diesel fuel and instantly igniting them into a raging inferno!
The flames spread rapidly until they covered the entire zombie army.
Standing atop a building, Li Lin'an looked down at the hellish inferno below, his heart pounding with excitement. He kicked away a zombie trying to climb up and shouted down, "Brothers! Retreat!"
The evolved beings who had stayed down below to create obstacles and block the zombies jumped onto the top of the wall and joined Ruan Yuling and the others to evacuate together.
Yang Shize, carrying Qi Heng, leaped through the sea of fire. Wherever they went, Qi Heng would create countless fire sources and throw them into the zombie army.
The diesel fuel stored in Zhang Yun's space had dissipated. He teleported to a tall building in the distance, looked down at the sea of fire, and felt a surge of excitement.
Zombies are unaware of pain and fear. Unless commanded by a high-ranking zombie, they will act in a daze even with flames burning on their bodies. However, the obstacles they created earlier have blocked their vision, and the intense sound and smell of the burning flames make it impossible for them to identify their original target by hearing and smell.
When Yang Shize led Qi Heng away from the sea of fire, the zombies returned to their dazed state, letting the flames burn them.
There are over 100,000 zombies in this group, and even with diesel fuel, it won't burn them all in a short time.
The next phase of the relocation plan has to be put on hold for now.
However, most of the patients who needed to be transferred, as well as the elderly and children, have already left; the remaining people will eventually be able to leave.
The fire burned for three days and three nights, and the entire eastern development zone of Jingu District was almost completely burned down.
Because the fire was so big, the noise it made attracted the surrounding zombies, who rushed into the fire and became fuel for the flames.
The fire wouldn't have been extinguished so quickly originally. It was only because Zhang Yun saw that the fire would continue burning indefinitely that he had a firebreak set up and then teleported there to bring rain, which finally put out the fire.
Afterwards, a count of the spoils revealed a huge harvest of crystal cores.
In addition, almost all the zombies in the eastern part of the Golden Valley District were wiped out in the fire, and no new zombie hordes will come in the short term. People underground no longer need to go through the sewers and can evacuate directly from the surface.
While Yang Shize and his team were arranging for the remaining people to evacuate, Zhang Yun went alone to scan the cleared areas, where countless supplies had been added.
There was a little surprise during the shopping spree: Zhang Yun unexpectedly discovered a medium-sized armory. He teleported through the wall and emptied the armory of equipment, weapons, and ammunition.
Realizing that spatial ability users could pass through walls and had the potential to be master thieves, Zhang Yun remembered to have them take precautions in their base's warehouse when he got back, so that other spatial ability users wouldn't take advantage of the situation in the future.
Through this operation, Zhang Yun also discovered their weakness—the lack of communication methods.
"System, aren't you a super hacker? Can you help me hack a satellite of the Eastern Continent Alliance and restore communications for our base?" Zhang Yun asked the system in his mind as he stood on a signal tower that had stopped working.
"The Eastern Continent Alliance has a total of 32 communication satellites. Twelve of them malfunctioned when the apocalypse first arrived. I checked them, and five of these twelve satellites are still usable. I can help you take them back, but you will need to pay all the remaining points."
"You need points too?" Zhang Yun frowned.
System: "Nonsense, is controlling satellites a technological means that this world should have? Of course, I should be compensated for the energy consumption."
"That would be too much to ask for all my remaining points..."
He suddenly realized something, "How many points do I have left?"
400.
"How much?" Zhang Yun was genuinely shocked. "Did you secretly take a kickback?"
The system wanted to roll its eyes at him, if it had eyes.
"You had 5000 mission points in the last world. It cost 100 to find you a body, 500 to deduce your destiny, and 4000 to exchange for a Tang sword."
WTF?!
Zhang Yun took out the Tang sword that had been idle for a long time from the corner of the room.
"This ordinary Tang sword cost me 4000 points?!"
System: "Although it is just an ordinary Tang sword, it is universally applicable across all worlds. Simply put, you can still use this sword in the next world."
"Will there be no more knives in the next world?" Zhang Yun was furious.
"You didn't say you wanted a Tang sword that's only used in this world..."
Sensing Zhang Yun's impending outburst of anger, the system immediately backed down: "Uh, how about this, I'll add a transformation function to it. If you don't want to use a knife, you can control it with your mind to turn it into any kind of cold weapon, such as a gun, sword, bow and arrow."
The system added at the end: "Moreover, you can change like this no matter which world you go to; you can control it with your mind."
"Really?" Zhang Yun tried it, and the Tang sword in his hand indeed disappeared, turning into sixteen flying blades.
Perhaps because the laws of this world do not restrict the improvement of mental power, his mental power has improved very quickly, and now he can control the movement of objects.
However, the Tang sword-shaped weapon was too heavy, and controlling it not only consumed a lot of mental energy, but the object's movement speed was also not fast. Zhang Yun had long wanted to make a few light and small throwing knives or blades as weapons.
It's just that we haven't been able to make it yet because we haven't had the right materials.
Sixteen dark gold flying blades with intricate patterns circled around his body, following his will.
Zhang Yun controlled one of the knives and shot it towards the nearby building; the knife easily pierced through the wall.
Having witnessed the power of the flying blade firsthand, Zhang Yun's resentment towards spending four thousand points on it finally lessened.
"Since this thing can be used anywhere in the future, let's give it a name." Zhang Yun controlled the sixteen flying blades to come in front of him.
“If it’s ever-changing, then let’s call it ‘Thousand Machines’,” Zhang Yun said.
The system silently thought to itself: As expected.
"Host, do you still need me to control the satellite for you? Four hundred points, no credit, thank you!"
"..." Zhang Yun said helplessly, "Okay."
"Alright, esteemed host, your points have been reset to zero. You have control of five communication satellites."
"By the way, your base doesn't have a signal transceiver, so we'll have to use your body as a signal tower for now."
Zhang Yun: "My body?"
"Yes, because I am inside you, your body can serve as a signal station."
"Although there will be radiation damage, you are a second-tier recovery power evolver. This damage is not as fast as your health recovery. Moreover, it can help you improve your recovery power painlessly. It's a win-win-win situation!"
"That's great. I'll go back and tell the people at the base that I've awakened a new superpower called Mobile Wi-Fi!"
Zhang Yun couldn't help but chuckle as he spoke.
...
Back at the base, Zhang Yunxian went to Yang Shize's room and told him that he could restore the base's communications and network.
After hearing this, Yang Shize couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yun asked.
"My little sweetheart is so outstanding and capable, what if someone kidnaps her?" Yang Shize hugged him from behind, his tone full of unhappiness.
Zhang Yun chuckled and nudged his chest with her elbow, saying, "Then you'd better coax me properly. If you upset me, I'm leaving."
"I'm not good with words, can you coax me with actions?" Yang Shize asked, resting his head on his shoulder.
"What operation?" Zhang Yun asked, turning his head.
Suddenly, my lips were kissed.
After a long while, Yang Shize finally released him: "Do you like this kind of action, brother?"
Zhang Yun met Yang Shize's gaze with her eyes, which were filled with a layer of crystal-clear water. She reached out and turned Yang Shize's head, pulling him closer to her.
"not enough."
