The scene fell silent for a moment, until finally Li Qionglan, another user with a level two flesh-based ability, spoke up:
"Captain Qin...you go ahead and do it, we can't bring ourselves to do it..."
"good!"
After responding, Qin Yi waved his hand and flung the zombie away, then bent down to pick up the spear that Zheng Lan had stuck in the head of the wind-type zombie.
He hurled it forcefully before the zombie could get up, piercing its head.
Li Qionglan felt a bit conflicted, but she forced herself to cheer up and, along with the other three women, began cleaning up the battlefield and collecting crystals from the zombies' brains.
Worried about further accidents, Qin Yi, while keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings, also joined in, hoping to return to Dawn City as soon as possible to protect Huang Zhao.
Most of the zombies that were killed had their heads smashed by Qin Yi with a heavy hammer, making the scene extremely bloody.
Searching for a 1-millimeter-sized energy crystal amidst a bloody mess was a daunting task for the four women, but fortunately, none of them were doing this for the first time, so they could endure it.
But they all looked at Qin Yi as if he were a monster, impressed by his immense strength, extreme violence, and strong masculinity.
Compared to the four women's actions of using daggers to dig open the back of the zombie's head, Qin Yi's approach was much simpler and more brutal.
He swung a 200-kilogram hammer, smashed it directly, and then used the crystal's inexplicable attraction to find it, which was more efficient than the four women combined.
In no time, Qin Yi had collected all the crystals from the more than one hundred zombies at the scene. He handed the collected crystals to Li Qionglan and asked:
"The city lord has taken your companions back, so he should be confident that he can cure them."
Are you coming back with me or continuing the mission to clear out the zombies?
"Let's go back!"
The four women answered without hesitation and followed Qin Yi toward Dawn City.
It was only a little past 10 a.m., but this experience may leave a lingering shadow on the four women for a long time.
Huang Zhao led the survivors out of their dire situation and back to Dawn City, which was not much different from civilized society.
They haven't experienced the cruel baptism of the apocalypse, and their minds and bodies haven't been completely transformed.
Looking at Qin Yi's broad back, Li Qionglan seemed to be deep in thought.
......
Before long, Qin Yi and his group arrived at the shelter.
Seeing Ning Chuxia crying and Alice receiving treatment, they stood aside without making a sound to disturb them.
Time passed slowly, because the zombie virus continued to rage in Zheng Lan's body, and the initial wound was too close to her heart.
Even though Alice has broken through to level three, she is still unable to completely eliminate the zombie virus.
The largest wound on Zheng Lan's chest has shown no signs of healing.
Even after Alice had consumed nearly a thousand points of energy from the level four crystal she was holding, she had only recovered slightly and was still far from being fully healed.
Seeing Alice, who had been continuously attacking for more than half an hour and was drenched in sweat, Huang Zhao knew that it was impossible to heal Zheng Lan for the time being.
He spoke to Ning Chuxia beside him through the mental connection:
"Alice's powers are not yet able to heal Zheng Lan's injuries."
"If I lose the suppression of my supernatural abilities, the zombie virus within Zheng Lan will retaliate and turn her into a zombie."
Hearing Huang Zhao's reply, Ning Chuxia felt a sense of despair and pleaded with him:
"No... Senior brother, please save Alan..."
"I'll do anything, please save her!"
Huang Zhao sighed inwardly, but he could understand her feelings.
"I have a way to temporarily preserve Zheng Lan's body and stabilize her injuries."
We'll treat Alice after she reaches level four.
"What method?"
Ning Chuxia's eyes gleamed with hope as she asked somewhat anxiously.
"The city lord's special ability is spatial. The flow of time in space is different from that in the real world. 24 hours outside only takes 1 second inside."
Zheng Lan's body can be stored in the space to prevent her injuries from worsening.
It will probably take Alice about half a month to break through to level four. We can wait until then to take her out for treatment.
"Space system? Can it capture living people?"
"Normally it is not possible; it will fail as long as there is resistance. But at this moment, Zheng Lan has already lost consciousness."
They shouldn't object to the charge; let's try it out, do you agree?
"Let's do as my senior says..."
Huang Zhao turned to the other four members of Zheng Lan's team and said:
"Please step aside for a moment. Zheng Lan's injuries require further treatment. Contact Chu Xia later to find out more."
Frowning, Huang Zhao's tone became somewhat stern.
"Your actions were too risky. The special markers were published to help you avoid them, not to make you..."
"Alright, I believe this lesson has been enough to teach you a lesson you won't forget. Don't risk your lives again!"
After waving for the group to leave the shelter and closing the safety door, Huang Zhao instructed Alice to stop using her powers and controlled Chen Run to activate his spatial abilities to cover Zheng Lan.
With a thought, Zheng Lan, who was seriously injured and completely unconscious, did not resist and was taken into Huang Zhao's supernatural space.
He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed his guess was correct. The supernatural space could indeed collect living things, but it was immune to any resistance.
Any sentient being will instinctively resist when covered by spatial abilities, resulting in the failure to collect them.
Overcoming the resistance of biological instincts is only possible in a state of complete unconsciousness, like Zheng Lan's.
Ning Chuxia, watching Zheng Lan's body being taken into the supernatural space, finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
Alice rushed forward to hug Ning Chuxia, comforting her with empathy.
"Don't worry, Sister Chuxia, I will definitely improve my ability level as soon as possible, and then I will heal Sister Zhenglan."
Don't cry, early summer sister~
Huang Zhao had no good solutions to this and could only wait for Ning Chuxia to recover on her own.
He felt a little uneasy, as unexpected events were occurring frequently outside Dawn City, which was under his control.
Far away in Guangzhou, the parents were also surrounded by millions of zombies...
However, his current level is only level three with 1527 points. Absorbing the Corpse King's crystal has accelerated his progress, but it will still take him two more days to break through to level four.
Chen Run still needs 7 more days to break through, but Huang Zhao is already getting impatient.
......
Alice stayed behind to continue comforting Ning Chuxia, while Huang Zhao and Qin Yi left the shelter to continue their mission.
He can reduce the occurrence of such incidents by killing more high-level zombies and mutated beasts.
If Ning Chuxia hadn't called for help in time, Zheng Lan's team of six would likely have been wiped out.
With this in mind, Huang Zhao edited a notice and sent it to the terminals of all Dawn City members:
At 10:33 AM, members of Hunting Team No. 18 encountered Level 2 zombies, resulting in two casualties! All members on missions, please avoid designated areas to prevent accidents! Your own safety must be the top priority during missions!
