Chu Nian wasn't sure if the power arrays she had envisioned would work; these arrays were something she had come up with based on her awakened memories. However, she had been here last night and had already tampered with them.
The ground was covered with "explosives" that she had planted to avoid the demon tree's detection.
As for where the explosives came from, well, they were homemade. It's impossible to get a lot of explosives in one night, but you can get a lot of alcohol.
These days, wine is far less valuable than water. When humans search for resources, they try to take as much water as possible, but they only take a little wine when they have the strength. So, she managed to get quite a bit of wine on her journey last night.
She buried the wine in jars or bottles underground. As long as lightning struck the right spot, it would explode without fail—that was the improvised explosive device she created.
Little did anyone know that she had made prior arrangements. After hearing her explanation, someone asked worriedly, "Will this really work?"
Zhang Gang said, "It definitely won't work. The types of supernatural arrays she mentioned can at most enhance our supernatural abilities, but only slightly increase their power. But we are facing hordes of zombies, no, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a zombie horde."
The Zombie King was leading a horde of zombies on a rampage from afar, and it wouldn't be long before they arrived. However, although they hadn't yet come into the sight of the ability users, a large number of zombies had already been detected by ability users of intermediate and higher levels, since there were many low-level zombies among them.
Zhang Gang is right. When the zombies were far away, they only detected a few zombies; but now that the zombies are close, they are certain that this is a zombie horde.
Chu Nian said with great confidence, "Don't worry, just do as I say, and it will definitely produce enough power to kill countless zombies."
Zhang Lan asked, puzzled, "How can you be so sure?"
Chu Nian said with a smile, "You'll find out soon enough."
Last night, after burying the liquor, she specifically added a shielding spell to the ground so that the zombie king wouldn't be able to detect it from a distance. However, its detection ability is very strong. If Chu Nian were to reveal now that there was a pile of explosive liquor buried underground, the zombie king might hear her, and her spell array might not be effective.
Now, the team members are surrounded by zombies on all sides. They have no other choice but to try the method Chu Nian suggested.
At that moment, everyone stood in the positions indicated by Chu Nian. When the zombie army approached and was only a few hundred meters away from them, they released their superpowers in the order indicated by Chu Nian.
Zhang Gang was right; Chu Nian's ability array did indeed increase the power of their individual ability attacks, but its lethality against zombies was ultimately limited. Now, it was a zombie horde of tens of thousands of zombies attacking, not just a few hundred or a few thousand.
Therefore, seeing that the superpowers released by everyone could only take down a few hundred zombies in front, and then the zombies behind immediately took their place, and there were countless zombie heads surging behind, everyone felt either numb or cold.
Chu Nian shouted, "Don't stop! Keep releasing your abilities!"
Qin Hao immediately responded: "We can't just wait to die, hurry up and release them!"
In fact, he was the most charismatic person in the entire team. Zhang Lan was only stronger than him and had a small share of his confidants. Therefore, when everyone heard his roar, they all continued to unleash their supernatural abilities according to Chu Nian's method.
After a round of attacks, everyone saw a series of loud explosions erupt from the zombie horde several hundred meters away, with flames shooting into the sky and powerful explosions following one after another, blasting countless zombies into the air...
The zombies collapsed like a tidal wave. Everyone was overjoyed at the sight.
Just as this joy was beginning to well up in their hearts, a huge roar came from the distant horizon. The fallen zombies, as long as they still had their heads, began to move towards this side again. Even those with only one head left were struggling to roll towards this side.
The situation was chilling. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Suddenly, a woman chuckled and said, "Hey, how interesting! Those heads are like balls, they roll around by themselves."
Xiao Li said helplessly, "Sister Nian, what time is it? Can't you be serious for once?"
Chu Nian then said seriously, "If you keep attacking as I tell you, you really can get through this crisis."
Qin Hao knew there was no other way to go at the moment. Chu Nian's words still gave them a glimmer of hope, which was better than waiting to die together. So, he once again called on everyone: "Let's continue to unleash our supernatural abilities now."
Seeing him like this, Zhang Lan felt very jealous. She wondered if he, as her boyfriend, was developing feelings for Li Nian again, just like in their past life, since he was so protective of her.
Even if she harbored resentment and jealousy, she wouldn't show it. Instead, she would urge everyone to join her and Qin Hao in launching a new round of attacks.
Another series of explosions roared, sending rocks flying and the ground shaking. Countless zombies fell, but all they saw amidst the soaring flames was a towering figure moving like lightning, rapidly approaching them.
"Everyone be careful!" As the strongest, Qin Hao was the first to spot the opponent and quickly warned them.
But the opponent was too fast. Before he could finish speaking, the figure had already rushed in front of him and raised his palm to strike Chu Nian's face.
Just as the figure closed in, it suddenly shot up again. And where it had been standing, a burst of fire suddenly rose.
Chu Nian patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, saying, "Ugh, that scared me to death. Luckily, I have the fire ability kit that Xiao Li gave me."
This "superpower pack" is a device invented by people with superpowers to store their abilities. It's somewhat like a magic scroll in a magical world. People without superpowers can activate the superpowers stored inside simply by throwing it out.
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Li was the first to react: "This zombie's target is Sister Nian, everyone quickly protect Sister Nian."
Everyone quickly surrounded Chu Nian in the center.
Qin Hao attacked after the zombie king was forced back by Chu Nian's fire.
Zhang Lan had previously guessed that although the Zombie King had not yet reached the King level, he was at least at the peak of level eight. She had guessed a bit too high; the Zombie King was currently at the late level eight, but he was still a whole level higher than Qin Hao.
Under normal circumstances, Qin Hao would be no match for it.
When the zombie king attacked Chu Nian, what truly forced him back wasn't Xiao Li's fire ability team. Xiao Li's ability was only at the early stage of level six; even if he gave the fire ability team to Chu Nian, it wouldn't be enough to force back a zombie that had already reached level eight.
What truly forced the zombie king back was a needle that Chu Nian shot out without anyone noticing.
