Chen Zhe hesitated, but Xia Yixin had already rushed towards the underground air-raid shelter. Without hesitation, he said something to Old Master Chen and followed after her. He didn't notice the thoughtful expression on Old Master Chen's face as he watched his retreating figure.
This was the first time Old Master Chen had ever seen his eldest grandson care so much about a woman. It was a pity that she already had a fiancé. But then Old Master Chen thought it through. It was the end of the world now, so what couldn't be achieved through strength?
On the other side.
As Xia Yixin walked, she released all her mental energy. From the spot where her feet touched the ground, the underground passages within a radius of a hundred kilometers appeared in her mind, as dense as a spider web. The place was very clean, but just as she tracked down a certain point, her mind was jolted.
They actually found it!
Strangely, this time, after realizing she had been discovered, the other person did not leave immediately but waited for her in the same spot.
She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she still ran towards the location that her spiritual power had found. Along the way, she noticed that there were footsteps behind her.
The underground air-raid shelter was about two meters high and wide enough for five or six people to sit side by side. There were green emergency lights every so often. It was dim and quiet. Xia Yixin's footsteps were very light, while the other's were noticeably heavier, but she did not sense any murderous intent from him.
Gradually, she guessed who it might be.
At a zigzag intersection, she deliberately waited there, and sure enough, less than half a minute later, a tall man almost bumped into her.
Chen Zhe quickly dodged and calmed his breathing. He was originally in good physical condition, but he did not expect Xia Yixin to be even faster. He was only a step late, but he still failed to catch up after chasing for more than a thousand meters.
“Didn’t I say I could do it myself? Let’s go back,” Xia Yixin said, frowning.
If that psychic attacks, she'll still have to take time to care for Chen Zhe, which puts her in a very passive position.
Chen Zhe didn't think too much about it. He approached her, his gaze intense. "No, I can't let you go alone. It's too dangerous. It could very well be a trap."
Xia Yixin knew that Chen Zhe was being stubborn and was thinking about whether to just knock him out when suddenly a series of screams came from the ventilation shaft. Chen Zhe's communicator was flashing, indicating an emergency call.
Chen Zhe's face darkened upon hearing the news of the zombie bird attack.
"Lord, a large number of zombie birds have suddenly appeared outside and have started attacking the residential areas. Our people are divided into three districts and are struggling to hold on!" came the urgent call from the team members on the other end of the communicator.
Xia Yixin immediately pushed him around the corner. "Go up and save people first. Be careful. I'll join you later." If he died, she would be eliminated too.
But now she has more important things to do, and she has a vague feeling that this is not a coincidence at all.
As she spoke, an ice wall appeared in front of her, isolating Chen Zhe outside, while she plunged into the darkness.
Chen Zhe watched the figure disappear on the other side of the ice wall, clenched his fists, and finally ran quickly to the ground.
He couldn't just stand by and watch the residents of P base be put in danger.
The deeper Xia Yixin ran, the higher the temperature became, but it also became more and more humid, and the smell was not pleasant.
Finally, we arrived at an open area. This was an underground storage facility, more than ten meters high, built of reinforced concrete. It was empty inside, except for the occasional rat running by.
In the darkness, a figure stood in the center, seemingly waiting for her.
Just as Chen Jiancheng had said, she was wearing a snow helmet, so her face was not visible.
Xia Yixin asked the system in her mind, "System, is she a strategist?"
However, unexpectedly, the system became unreachable.
The other party seemed to know what she had done and announced loudly, "The system has been temporarily blocked by me."
It was the voice of a young girl, and Xia Yixin felt a strange familiarity about it.
She jumped down into the passageway and approached her step by step. "Who are you? What do you want?"
The other party did not answer, but suddenly attacked her, and she was also holding an ice blade in her hand!
Could she be a dual-elemental user of both mental and ice magic?
On the ground.
Thousands upon thousands of zombie birds swooped down from the sky, catching the people at P base off guard. Many of the zombie birds even flew straight towards Zone 3. Although the windows had been reinforced with steel plates, they still could not stop the birds' sharp claws.
Screams, cries for help, and gunshots rang out all at once.
Lu Yan's fifth-tier metal-type ability shattered zombie birds wherever he went, and the battle quickly spread from Zone 1 to Zone 3.
The golden spiritual energy was output without regard to cost.
After Chen Zhe drove to the ground, the entire battle finally began to tilt in favor of the P base, but the zombie bird swarm also launched a targeted attack on Chen Zhe, just like before.
Gradually, he was surrounded by zombie birds.
"City Lord!"
Seeing the dark mass of zombie birds gathering on the rooftop, making it impossible to see him, the base team members shouted urgently. They fired at the flock of birds, but their speed was far from enough to keep up with the speed at which the zombie birds surrounded them.
At this moment, Chen Zhe, though not in a sorry state, was trapped in the center of the encirclement and unable to escape for the time being. He shouted, "Evacuate all personnel to a distance of three kilometers!"
He was about to summon lightning; small-scale lightning was completely ineffective against these fast-moving beasts.
The base team members immediately understood: when they were organizing the evacuation of the nearby third-class residents, a figure ran in the opposite direction.
It is Lu Yan.
He had assessed Chen Zhe's strength and knew that he could easily deal with these small fry. His gaze was fixed on the crows that were always circling at the top of the flock. Their eyes glowed red, and they were mechanically controlled.
