"Ding! The female supporting character's true colors have been exposed and she has been censored. Completion rate 60%. Host, why don't you just go for it and censor the female lead as well?" the system asked.
Xia Yixin calmly said, "It would be such a pity if she died. Besides, there are still three male supporting characters. If she dies, how will they see her true colors? Take it slow, there are still two years."
The system felt that its host was becoming increasingly "heartless".
Xia Yixin drove across the wilderness, and soon a dozen trucks followed behind her. They were search teams that had come out with her. A slight smile appeared on her lips.
After driving for half an hour, it was completely dark. The road was lined with desert on both sides, and on the other side of the road, there were piles of cars leaving the city. Not far away was their destination, the gas station.
There was a car burning brightly at the entrance, illuminating the night, surrounded by zombies.
The search team that followed her out tensely picked up their guns upon seeing the massive horde of zombies, ready to fire or unleash their powers at any moment.
However, to their disbelief, the motorcycle at the very front of the convoy suddenly accelerated.
The black motorcycle gracefully glided into the horde of zombies, who scattered like a tide and quickly retreated more than a hundred meters away.
As the convoy pulled into the gas station, the search team members in the truck bed could still see the rotting faces of the zombies. Their eyes were white, their nails were sharp, but they were as docile as pets.
This scene completely shattered their worldview.
"Mental power, this must be mental power! Our Captain Xia is actually a dual-elemental user!?" someone whispered in shock.
There are many others like him.
If Xia Yixin's previous demonstration of the fifth-tier ice element was impressive enough, then after witnessing the terrifying power of mental energy, they could only feel admiration and immense relief.
Thankfully, they came out with us and chose the right path!
However, the strange behavior at the gas station soon drew their attention back.
The entire gas station was in a mess, deserted, and Hongmeng lay on the ground, his fate unknown.
Before Xia Yixin's car had even come to a complete stop, she jumped out and helped the battered and bruised Hong Meng up. After stuffing a life-saving pill into his mouth, Hong Meng finally caught his breath.
Upon seeing her, Hong Meng excitedly grabbed her arm. "The Scavenger! Captain Xia, it's the Scavenger! I wanted to run with them, but it was too late, they... they were all taken away."
Xia Yixin suppressed the murderous intent in her eyes and laid the unconscious Uncle Hong flat on the ground. He had been shot three times, but fortunately none of them were fatal.
At this point, the subsequent search teams all stopped. The team leaders of the twenty teams guessed what was going on when they saw this, and Team Leader Wang, the leader of Team Six, found it even harder to calm his emotions.
Team Leader Wang personally brought the families of the third team here, and he understood who the scavengers were. At this moment, the entire gas station was in a mess and deserted, and it was easy to guess why.
At that moment, Xia Yixin suddenly picked up the motorcycle that had fallen to the ground.
"Captain Xia?" Captain Wang thought she was up to something big.
Xia Yixin put on her helmet and looked at everyone. "Captain Wang, I've used my mental power to control the zombies here so they won't attack you, but there's still danger outside. Don't leave easily. I'm going to chase after someone. You wait for me here."
As she was about to start her motorcycle, Captain Wang hurriedly grabbed her. "Wait, Captain Xia, there are at least a hundred scavengers, fully armed. Even P Base suffered a loss against them before. You're all alone. I can't let you go to your death!"
"Sending yourself to your death?" Xia Yixin was so angry that she laughed. She released the pressure of a fifth-level expert, and the pupils in her phoenix eyes turned slightly silver.
Captain Wang felt an intense pressure and was shocked to find that he could barely breathe under her pressure.
This is a fifth-tier powerhouse!
A glint gradually appeared in Captain Wang's eyes.
Xia Yixin frowned slightly when she saw that the other party still wouldn't let go. "Move aside."
But his next words surprised her slightly.
"Captain Xia, if you're leaving, we'll go with you!"
The captains of the other teams also came over, saying, "That's right, Captain Xia, we'll go with you!"
Xia Yixin looked at the flames in the other person's eyes and nodded, but she still didn't let too many people go with her. She only picked a few people of level three or above from each team, totaling more than thirty people. The remaining search team members were responsible for protecting this place, while Hong Meng's wounds were simply treated and placed.
More than a hundred scavengers came out this time. Ninety percent of them went to raid K base, while the remaining dozen or so people controlled the people they had captured and temporarily stationed them at a construction site three kilometers away.
There were more than thirty people left behind. Because they had been eating human crystal cores for a long time, their faces were covered with spider web-like patterns. When they saw a convoy driving towards them in the distance, they roared wildly.
"All personnel on alert! Fire!"
They modified many weapons, including armored vehicles and assault rifles.
With a deafening roar, they saw a burst of flames ahead, and all the bullets that had been fired were obscured by the flames and smoke. The remaining scavengers immediately cheered.
There are plenty of people who want to stop them, but with so many weapons and superhumans, those people won't be able to leave once they arrive.
However, before their smiles could fade, a black motorcycle suddenly burst out of the flames.
Just as the captain of the scavenger team was about to shout something in terror, a sharp, blinding light shot towards his face.
It's a throwing knife made of ice!
By the time they realized what was happening, everything from the ground to the vehicles and weapons was covered in a layer of frost, and it crumbled like dust at the slightest touch!
The immense pressure of the fifth-order ice elemental attack caused some lower-level beings to vomit blood.
"Get out of here! Get out of here quickly!!" the terrified scavenger cried out, but it was too late.
The enemy was already routed without Xia Yixin's search team even needing to lift a finger.
Thirty men against a hundred, the latter were routed and wiped out in less than ten minutes.
Even if those so-called third and fourth-tier people gathered together, it might still be a problem. But if you take them out individually, they are afraid of death and have taken shortcuts, so their actual strength is not even as good as a second-tier zombie.
On the abandoned construction site, all the scavengers who remained were left to die.
Xia Yixin also found the three families who had been arrested here. In addition to them, there were other people that the scavengers had arrested in the vicinity during this period, and they were detained in three separate rooms.
Upon seeing Xia Yixin, they wept with joy and anxiously exclaimed, "Captain Xia, hurry to the next room! I saw Hongfeng! Maybe our child is still alive!"
Xia Yixin's pupils shrank. Could it be such a coincidence that the three missing team members were also captured by the scavengers?
