Fortunately, Yan Xiangxiang awakened her spatial ability at a crucial moment.
The situation reversed instantly.
A small fire suddenly broke out in the middle of the horde of zombies, and the burning zombies let out muffled cries of pain.
A light rain suddenly began to fall, but the fire did not weaken at all. Instead, it seemed to be using the rainwater as fuel and continued to spread wildly.
The off-road vehicle bypassed the raging fire and sped away along the country road.
...
"What? Brother Ming has awakened a superpower? And it's lightning-based!"
Less than 20 kilometers away from Lin Xi and his group, in an abandoned warehouse.
A burly man jumped up in excitement!
That kind of lightning-type superpower that only protagonists in novels possess, with attack power that can instantly kill other types of superpowers!
In the dim light, a candle was burning on the ground.
There were newspapers laid out around it, enough to accommodate three adult men.
A man sat languidly against the wall on the floor, one leg slightly bent. In the candlelight, his profile appeared exquisitely sculpted.
His white shirt was stained, but it did not diminish his refined and otherworldly aura in the slightest.
Another young man twirling a dagger chuckled, “Sorry, I forgot to tell you something. On the way back, I awakened my metal-type ability.”
As he spoke, the dagger that had been spinning suddenly hovered in his hand, spinning rapidly in the air without any force applied.
“Like this, I can control metal.” He smiled smugly. “I just tried it out, and besides controlling metal, I can also enhance its properties.”
"For example, the dagger in my hand has a base attack power of only 10 points. Through my superpower enhancement, I can increase its attack power to 12 points."
"That's so cool!" Da Gang looked at Tang He with envy.
Tang He sheathed his dagger, walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't be envious. I have a feeling you'll awaken soon too."
"Alright, there's a small town 30 kilometers ahead. Get a good rest tonight and set off at 6 a.m. tomorrow."
The person on the ground finally spoke, his voice clear and slightly languid.
"Brother Ming, is it you on guard duty again?" Upon hearing this, Da Gang's chubby face creased. "You've been on guard duty for two nights already, and you haven't rested much during the day either. If this continues, you'll collapse."
Tang He also disagreed, "Brother Ming, how about I keep watch tonight? I just awakened my superpower, if one or two zombies come, it'll be good for me to practice."
Lu Xingming lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking.
A moment later, he let out a very soft "hmm" through his nose.
After saying that, he fell asleep.
Lin Xi's side, the SUV just drove into a small town.
It's not a large building, located by the roadside, with two rows of staggered buildings, all with their doors tightly closed.
Aside from the slightly dirty and chaotic environment, there were almost no zombies on the streets.
In the evening breeze, several plastic bags were blown into the air and landed on the roadside trees across the street.
They parked their car in a gas station, which was in a mess. Someone had smashed a large hole in the glass door, big enough for a person to step inside.
Brother Long filled the car with gas first, and then was the last one to get inside.
The shelves had been completely looted.
The group cleaned up the area quickly, creating a clean space.
I managed to eat a meager meal that night.
Brother Long volunteered to keep watch, since he was the only one with offensive superpowers.
Seven o'clock the next day.
[Ding! System task issued: Please collect 20 liters of purified water within four hours.]
Lin Xi suddenly woke up.
Purified water?
Where does the purified water come from in this place?
Supermarket? But there aren't any large supermarkets with their doors open here, only very small convenience stores.
The system is forcing her to pick the lock.
Lin Xi tidied herself up and, before they woke up, quickly put on her sunglasses and went out.
"Lin Xi, where are you going?"
Lin Xi turned her head, puzzled. Wasn't it Brother Long who was keeping watch? Why is Yan Xiangxiang standing here now?
Yan Xiangxiang explained, "I went to bed early yesterday and woke up around 2 or 3 a.m. I figured I had some superpowers anyway, so I let Brother Long go and rest."
Yan Xiangxiang's feelings for Zhao Yunlong are as clear as day.
Lin Xi took out her phone: I'll go get some water.
She reminded him, "Remember to come back soon. We should be leaving after we finish breakfast."
Lin Xi nodded.
She also picked up a thick wooden stick by the roadside, so it would be easier for her to break down the door later.
To her surprise, the door opened when she found the convenience store.
This doesn't make sense. She clearly remembers that when the SUV passed by this road yesterday, both doors were closed.
Could it be that I remembered it wrong?
She couldn't help but grip the weapon in her hand tighter again.
When I got to the middle of the shelf, there wasn't much food left, but thankfully there was still a lot of water at the bottom.
But on second thought, she could understand it.
In rural towns like this, there are usually reservoirs to store water, so people have plenty of water at home and naturally wouldn't choose to move such heavy things.
So there's still plenty of mineral water here.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xi decided to move a large box.
After all, there are now six of them, and their need for supplies is quite large.
[Ding! System notification: Danger level two stars.]
Lin Xi: !
"Who's there!"
The system voice had barely finished speaking when a sharp shout rang out.
Startled by the sudden loud voice, Lin Xi instinctively raised her hand.
After slowly turning around, she saw a tall, obese man staring coldly at her.
As luck would have it, just as I bent over and stood up abruptly, my sunglasses slipped off.
Seeing her pitch-black eyes with no whites, the man's lips paled. "A...a zombie?"
Their tone of voice was slightly raised.
Lin Xi hurriedly waved his hands, trying to tell him that he wouldn't hurt anyone, but all the sounds that came out were—"Ahhhhh!"
Upon hearing this sound, the man's expression changed drastically, "Aaaaaaah!"
A small stream of water suddenly appeared on my hand, dripping like a showerhead.
Lin Xi quickly put on her glasses.
Before he could react, Lin Xi had only one thought: run!
After walking a few slow steps, she stopped and suddenly turned around.
The man behind him suddenly took a step back.
Lin Xi bent down, picked up the box she had just touched, and slowly "ran" out.
Da Gang swallowed hard. Wait a minute, I have superpowers now? Why am I afraid of this little zombie?
Lu Mingxing came out of the small room at the back, frowning as he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Just now, there was a little zombie..."
Lu Mingxing glanced around, "Where are the zombies?"
Da Gang pointed to the bottom shelf, still a little dazed, "He took a case of water and ran away."
"They didn't attack anyone?"
