The shock wasn't limited to the people in her car; it also affected the others at the Dawn Base who witnessed the scene. Only Chen Zhe seemed to have guessed something, his brow furrowed, but unfortunately, he was bleeding profusely with the slightest movement, and he was willing but unable to do anything about it.
Just as they were wondering what Xia Yixin was up to, she had already stood firmly on the roof of the car and, using her powerful jumping ability, leaped from one roof to another until she reached the last one, which happened to be the car Chen Qian was on.
"Slow down, I need to get closer to the flock of birds!" Xia Yixin patted the top of the cab and shouted.
Has she gone mad?!
Almost no one understood what she was trying to do.
But the car slowed down, and as it approached the flock of zombie birds, the frenzied zombie birds continued to swarm towards it.
Several birds lunged at her face but were frozen to dust before they even got close.
Xia Yixin swiftly and decisively grabbed the neck of a zombie crow that was swooping down. While using her evil magic to slash away other zombie birds that were swooping down, she also channeled her mental energy into the head of the zombie bird that was fluttering in her hand.
With limited time, she had no choice but to take a gamble.
Mental power is bidirectional; as long as the other party can control it, a "channel" already exists.
Everything around seemed to have been paused; all the gunshots and the howls of zombies disappeared.
The mental sea of consciousness is a dark space. The mental points of zombies are red, while those of human ability users are green. In the dark space, one can see tens of millions of red points with faint "golden lines" on them. So this is what the mental sea of consciousness looks like when mental power is controlled.
These countless "golden threads," though only as thick as a finger when gathered together, eventually converged at a single point, pointing directly to a nearby desolate town. Although Xia Yixin couldn't clearly see the person's appearance in her sea of consciousness, she captured that person's spiritual point.
It was green, which meant it wasn't a zombie, but a superhuman. And what was most peculiar was that after discovering her, the other party didn't immediately defend itself, but paused for a few seconds, seemingly observing her as well.
Mental energy is bidirectional, and the other person can also sense her. Perhaps because they both possess mental energy, she felt that their auras were very similar.
It's like...
Suddenly, the opponent's mental energy became sharp. Xia Yixin hurriedly raised her defenses, but a sharp, needle-like pain shot through her head. She had been attacked.
The other person's mental strength is stronger than hers.
A strong smell of blood filled her nostrils; she was having a nosebleed.
The members of the Dawn team in the car were startled when they saw this scene. They wanted to say something but were afraid of disturbing her.
After the first round of probing, she had to quickly sever the connection between the other party and the other controlled subjects. Xia Yixin wiped away the blood from her nose and quickly turned to the thousands of golden "threads". The other party seemed to have also discovered her intention and immediately launched an attack on her in her sea of consciousness.
Xia Yixin released all her mental energy, enduring the pain of being pricked by needles, and focused on forcibly breaking those control lines.
One, two, three... The speed of her mental energy surpassed ordinary speed. In the blink of an eye, she broke through thousands of mental energy lines and regained control of them.
The opponent's attacks became increasingly frantic, but for some reason, she sensed that the opponent was holding back.
The taste of blood in her mouth grew stronger, and finally, with a "snap" that was barely audible to the human ear, all the control "lines" that controlled the zombies and zombie birds snapped.
It's done!
Xia Yixin was standing in the vehicle belonging to the P base, and Chen Zhe was also inside. He heard the driver shout, "Holy crap!"
Looking in his rearview mirror, Chen Zhe witnessed an unbelievable scene: the zombies and zombie birds chasing him seemed to have been paused, or like toys without batteries. Thousands of zombies fell to the ground from front to back, while the zombie birds in the sky crashed down like a zombie rain.
This is what a psychic is like—it's terrifying!
The view was even clearer from the Dawn Base. The superpowered team members on the city wall had completely forgotten to fire their guns. A massive wave of zombies fell to the ground, a sight that resembled a miracle in the dawn's light.
Inside the speeding car ahead, Chen Zhe gradually regained his senses. He watched this scene with the same shock as the others. Xia Yixin's slender figure stood on the jeep, appearing even more beautiful and resolute in the morning light.
Until she suddenly swayed and rolled off the roof of the car.
Chen Zhe excitedly pushed open the car door, wanting to get out, but fortunately, his teammate next to him pulled him back; otherwise, given his serious injuries, he would have certainly died if he had rolled down.
The sight of Xia Yixin suddenly rolling off the roof of the speeding jeep gripped everyone's hearts. Fortunately, the moment she rolled down, Chen Qian in the car reacted quickly, jumping out of the window and catching her in mid-air.
The two of them fell together, rolling more than ten meters in one breath. With Chen Qian acting as a human cushion, Xia Yixin was only slightly injured and coughed up blood, but Chen Qian accidentally broke his leg.
The convoy ahead also stopped.
Dozens of superhumans rushed over, shouting "Captain Xia!"
Xia Yixin was mentally exhausted, but fortunately she still had internal energy to support her. After catching her breath, she saw Chen Qian next to her clutching his calf with a pale face. She quickly checked on him and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, it's just dislocated. Don't move around too much. Just go back and get it properly set and rest for a while." He's a speed-type ability user, so if his leg were broken, it would be a serious matter.
Chen Qian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Now that the crisis was over, he was in the mood for banter. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly sensed a very threatening zombie aura emanating from the darkness opposite them.
Xia Yixin also sensed it.
"Don't come any closer!" Xia Yixin stopped the others who were running over.
As she shouted, a dark figure darted out of the darkness.
It was a zombie beast the size of a truck, at least at the ninth level. Bullets were useless against it. What shocked everyone even more was that it was actually a black panther.
Mark was one of the rescue team members. He stared in shock at the black panther that had overturned a car, muttering, "Impossible, impossible!"
Others might not be certain, but the golden spiritual energy surrounding the black panther and the familiar aura made Xia Yixin almost immediately certain of his identity.
Lu Yan.
It was Lu Yan!
At this moment, his golden eyes were bloodshot, and his frantic gaze was fixed on Xia Yixin. His hesitant expression turned into murderous intent when he saw Chen Qian standing in front of Xia Yixin.
The black panther growled and pounced on her.
Xia Yixin shoved Chen Qian behind her and shouted, "Run!"
Although Chen Qian is of a high rank, he would definitely die if he were to face Lu Yan.
With a thought, Xia Yixin created three ice walls that blocked the black panther's path. A rapid chill spread from beneath her feet, freezing the panther's paws.
The others in the convoy understood Xia Yixin's meaning. They were no match for the ninth-tier zombie king, but they absolutely could not abandon Xia Yixin to fight alone.
