The man broke out in a cold sweat. He only breathed a slight sigh of relief when he recognized the voice as Li Tiangan's.

Li Tiangan is a decent person among those with superpowers; he's not rigid, so he should be... a bit easier to fool.

The figure stood still in the dim bushes.

"Uh... I just came out to pee, how come you're awake too?" he replied hastily.

When caught doing something wrong, the man instinctively looked away, unable to meet the other person's gaze.

"Crystal core." The voice from the shadows sounded again, its tone flat and even. "Give it to me."

"What crystal core? I don't know." He subconsciously retorted, raising his head, but his heart skipped a beat.

Li Tiangan moved closer to him without making a sound, as if he'd seen a ghost. The distance between them had shrunk considerably.

He felt a little uneasy, raised his flashlight, and shone it on the man's face. The light illuminated the man's face in an instant; it was indeed Li Tianqian.

Li Tianqian met his gaze expressionlessly; the man naturally had no intention of giving him the crystal core. Clutching his heavy waist pouch, he retreated while trying to justify his actions:

"If there's nothing else, go back inside. It's so cold outside."

"Soon."

Two stiff words came out of the other person's mouth. The moment the man turned around, a shadow appeared at his feet.

He turned his head and met the gaze of "Li Tiangan." The other man's pupils were already dilated and swollen, and he didn't know when they had moved to a position close to his back. The swollen eyeballs of a dead man were extremely close to his face, almost touching it.

"We should arrive in two more days."

As Li Tiangan uttered these last words, he gripped Li's shoulders tightly with both hands like iron clamps and bit down.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere. The man had no chance to dodge and let out a heart-wrenching scream. Then his throat was torn and severed, and the screams stopped abruptly.

The man's body convulsed, blood spurting half a meter high before he collapsed to the ground.

Blood flowed down the zombie's neck, and the face that belonged to Li Tianqian gradually melted away, turning into a blank head without features, like a piece of wax that had been vigorously kneaded.

On his round face, the texture of his skin rippled in waves, the outline of his brow bone rose and fell, and dead flesh grew grotesquely, making a viscous, liquid-like sound.

At the zombie's feet, the man's body convulsed less and less until it finally stopped moving and became a corpse.

A dozen minutes later, the corpse, like an inflating balloon, strangely rose from the bottom up and stood up again.

This time, there was no emotion in those already decaying and empty eyes.

Without desire, without thought, one becomes a walking corpse, left only with instinct.

Li Tiangan suddenly opened his eyes.

The night was pitch black, and his teammates were sleeping peacefully beside him. He sat up abruptly, panting heavily.

His teammates, who had just finished their night watch, were still awake. Li Tiangan's noise woke him up.

The other person was still sleepy, too tired to even lift their head. "...What's wrong? Had a nightmare?"

"I heard someone screaming." Li Tiangan frowned, even wondering if he was having a nightmare. "It was right outside."

His teammate rolled over and went back to sleep. "You must have misheard... Xiao Wang is keeping watch at night. He'll definitely notice anything immediately if anything happens."

Li Tiangan was still worried, so he quickly wrapped his coat around himself and went out of the tent. As soon as he went out, he saw Shen Chengyin sitting outside, dressed in black and almost blending into the night. It was clear that he had been waiting for a long time.

Shen Chengyin saw Li Tiangan and nodded slightly to him.

Li Tiangan swept his flashlight across the vines behind the man, which rustled and stretched all the way to Su Han's tent.

"What are you doing here? Isn't it Xiao Wang's turn to keep watch?" Li Tiangan asked in a low voice.

Shen Chengyin pointed in the direction where they had been clearing out zombies earlier that day: "Something's happened."

Li Tianqian's expression was grave. He took two steps in that direction. When he turned around, Shen Chengyin was still sitting there, showing no intention of following him.

"Aren't you coming with me to take a look?" Li Tiangan sensed something was wrong.

Shen Chengyin tugged at the vine, his meaning clear: he didn't want to move.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been sitting outside waiting for Li Tiangan, that laborer, to come out.

Li Tiangan smirked, mentally giving the middle finger, and headed in the direction Shen Chengyin had pointed.

A dozen minutes later, Li Tiangan returned, carrying a blood-stained waist bag.

The fanny pack was bulging with crystal nuclei.

"Xiao Wang, something's happened. He's probably dead. No body was found at the scene."

Li Tiangan frowned deeply.

There were no corpses; either they had been disposed of, or they had been infected and turned into zombies.

Xiao Wang is a mid-level superhuman, and can only be infected by high-level zombies.

This is troublesome...

Shen Chengyin was not surprised and nodded, "It's a high-level zombie."

"We need to wake them up and get them out of here quickly." Li Tiangan didn't dare to delay. Just as he was about to make a move, his ankles were tightly wrapped by vines, and he was trapped in place and unable to move.

Li Tiangan turned around, met Shen Chengyin's gaze, and questioned him silently.

Shen Chengyin tilted his head, seemingly unconcerned about the high-level zombies eyeing him menacingly around him, and said in a emotionless voice, "Ahan is still sleeping."

Li Tiangan:………

This involves transferring people.

He was forced to sit back down, facing Shen Chengyin. In the blink of an eye, some food and drinking water appeared in front of him.

Li Tiangan didn't hold back and started showing off his skills.

As dawn broke, Su Han slowly woke up, reached out and touched the sleeping bag next to her, only to find it flat. She immediately jumped up with a start.

Before he could even put on his clothes, Shen Chengyin walked in and handed him a glass of warm water.

"We have to go; there are high-level zombies nearby."

Shen Cheng's words were concise and to the point. Su Han tilted her head back and gulped down the glass of warm water before getting dressed.

The group hurriedly packed their things, with no time to mourn their fallen comrades; they had to survive for themselves.

They forcibly compressed two days into one day, and the remaining five people took turns driving day and night to get to the military factory as quickly as possible.

When the Fuxing Base was damaged, Jiang Yurou led almost all the personnel from the military factory to provide support, leaving only a dozen or so people here to watch over it.

Later, when the Fuxing Base was taken over by Jiang Yurou, she called away these dozen or so people to help, leaving none of them behind.

The military factory was completely abandoned.

Apart from Li Tiangan, the people who accompanied Su Han and the others this time were all under Jiang Yurou's command and were very familiar with the layout of the military factory.

The group arrived at the warehouse location with ease, and saw the warehouse door wide open from afar, which made their hearts sink.

Two men who had worked in a military factory stepped forward and looked around. The warehouse was almost completely emptied, with only useless bullets left.

"Damn, I've only been gone a few days, and they've already stolen my house."

One of them cursed a few times about traditional Chinese culture, spat on the ground, and then walked further inside.

The other person nodded, "Luckily, Sister Rou didn't come back with us, or she would have been furious."

Before the words were even finished, a crackling sound of electricity crept up the floor, instantly turning the person walking in front into a charred corpse.

"Be careful!"

Everything happened in an instant. Li Tiangan immediately tried to control the direction of the lightning, but it was clearly too late.

Anyone who touches it dies instantly; their body is carried away by the high-voltage current, leaving no human form whatsoever. Even Shen Chengyin couldn't save them.

The electricity dissipated, and Li Tiangan, his face dark, stepped forward to block the crowd. The opponent had only killed one person with his lightning powers, yet hadn't shown himself yet.

It's more like a warning.

His face was solemn, while another superhuman, seeing his companion die before his eyes, was filled with rage.

Su Han took a deep breath and looked at Shen Chengyin.

Shen Chengyin shook his head slightly.

The other party was outside the range of his psychic abilities, so he could not determine their location.

Li Tianqian couldn't wait that long; he was betting that the other party wouldn't have the patience. He strode forward, and sure enough, an iron chain descended from the sky, swinging straight at him.

The chains were thick, and it looked like they were used in a warehouse to secure certain military supplies.

Li Tiangan knew it was electrified, but he still reached out and grabbed it firmly.

Their supernatural abilities controlled the direction of the lightning, and they fought back and forth, evenly matched. The opponent was clearly also putting in all their strength; the iron chains hissed, taut, and vibrated back and forth.

After several stalemates, the dark green vines suddenly broke through the soil, wrapped around the iron chain, and pulled Li Tiangan hard in his direction.

With a thud, the person, caught off guard, stumbled two steps and was pulled out of their hiding place, appearing in front of everyone.
