The explosions from the armory were deafening, and the people fighting on the front lines all turned their heads to look in the direction of the billowing smoke.

When they arrived, the scene was a mess. The armory was still burning fiercely, and a few zombies had already crawled through the holes in the city wall.

Tang Qiao's manic and abnormal state quickly caught the attention of the superhumans.

Zhao Guang, who was in charge, deployed a water shield to block the scorching heat and forcefully dragged Tang Qiao out of the danger zone.

"Are you fucking insane, Tang Qiao?!"

The superhuman next to him came up and slapped Tang Qiao hard across the face.

"Just because your plan was exposed, you're going to drag the entire base down with you?"

"You ungrateful bastard!"

Tang Qiao laughed loudly, seemingly insane, "Instead of getting angry with me here, you should think about how to plug the hole in the city wall."

The hole is so big that even two trucks couldn't plug it.

The sparks scorched Tang Qiao's clothes, leaving holes and severe burn marks on his skin. Tang Qiao, however, seemed oblivious, his eyes fixed intently on the armory.

As everyone stared at the huge hole in the city wall, despair welled up in their hearts.

Originally, the zombie horde was concentrated at the main gate of the city, but after this explosion, the horde will enter through the hole in less than half an hour.

Trying to plug this hole in half an hour is simply a pipe dream.

Hope Base... is really going to be destroyed.

Zhao Guang, panting heavily, wiped his face with his sleeve. Sweat immediately soaked the cuffs of his sleeve.

How could this happen...?

He was not reconciled.

He finally managed to find such a shelter for his sister, a place where they could survive without using force.

If Hope Base is destroyed, even if they survive this zombie siege, it's highly unlikely they'll find another human shelter alive.

Zhao Guang knew his own limitations. He couldn't shoot accurately, and his stamina wasn't up to par. How could he protect Zhao Yue?

Oh shit.

"Don't just stand there like idiots, block as much as you can!" Li Fu shouted as he stepped forward.

Li Fu is an earth-type ability user, but unfortunately he is naturally dull-witted and has not yet stepped into the threshold of a beginner ability user.

He pressed his hand to the ground, and a moment later, a mound of earth about half a person's height appeared at the hole in the city gate.

"...Dude, I'm not kidding, but you've basically built yourself a grave."

"If I didn't look closely, I wouldn't have noticed the cornbread you've sticking out."

"Stop talking, at least it'll trip him up when the zombies come in."

The surrounding superhumans chattered and made sarcastic remarks, but their hands were not idle; they all began to take action.

Some of the superhumans moved bricks and rubble, some found someone to bring two trucks, and some simply mobilized bulldozers.

Zhao Guang could only stand at the back and watch, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging fiercely into his palms.

Everyone understands that these efforts are merely a drop in the ocean.

The hole can't be plugged.

No, that's not right.

Zhao Guang's eyes lit up.

He suddenly thought of someone—Shen Chengyin.

Shen Chengyin is a spatial ability user; in other words, he can move things without carrying any weight.

Whether it's tens of tons of soil or even a house, as long as it can fit into the space, Shen Chengyin can move it in an instant.

To plug this hole, Shen Chengyin could do it with just a flick of his finger.

Zhao Guang turned and ran, running like a madman, startling all the other ability users around him.

"Why did that kid run away?"

"Come on, this little coward is probably just too scared to back down and ran away before he could."

"They don't have much fighting power; keeping them around is just a hindrance."

"That's right, let's just run away."

Someone murmured.

"It's good that you ran away; you can survive."

When Zhao Guang found Shen Chengyin and Su Han, the two were standing on the city wall looking at the distant firelight.

Su Han was leaning against the city wall. Based on the descriptions in the book and the scene before him, he could roughly imagine what the male protagonist would be like when facing the first zombie horde.

What kind of person could possibly survive a horde of zombies by relying solely on their physical body, without any combat abilities whatsoever?

So handsome.

This is a relatively weakly defended area, and there are not many people around.

The sky was dark, and if it weren't for Su Han's striking light-colored short hair, Zhao Guang might not have been able to find them.

If Zhao Guang were clever, he would have discovered that this place was on high ground, allowing him to see both the main city gate and the armory at the same time.

The towering flames from the armory were naturally seen by Su Han and Shen Chengyin.

Unfortunately, Zhao Guang was too anxious to notice anything amiss.

"Ahan! Chief Shen!!"

Zhao Guang, a grown man, disregarded all dignity and knelt down in front of Shen Chengyin with a thud.

"Chief Shen! Please, please save Hope Base! Tang Qiao blew a hole in the city wall, and only you have the ability to repair it!"

Zhao Guang's voice choked with emotion, and his whole body trembled.

Shen Chengyin remained silent, but Su Han interrupted Zhao Guang's sobbing first:

"There's something I'm not sure if I should say. I remember when I first entered the base, everyone told me that Chief Shen was a despicable traitor, and that Chief Wang was the great person you all admired."

"Why didn't you go and beg your chieftain for help after this happened?"

Zhao Guang choked up, realizing that Su Han was mocking them.

"We...we were just deceived by Wang Jiafu...This is not the time to talk about that. The lives of nearly ten thousand people in the base are in your hands, leader!"

Su Han wasn't going to let Zhao Guang off the hook, and continued to press, "And you, Zhao Guang, were you also deceived by Wang Jiafu?"

His flirtatious manner seemed like teasing, and coupled with Su Han's clean and beautiful face, it provoked a nameless anger in Zhao Guang.

"Chief Shen, I was threatened by Wang Jiafu. As you know, my sister is my only family in this world. I... I'm really having a hard time making this decision."

"It was a difficult choice to select Wang Jiafu." Su Han clicked her tongue. "You're really a smart person, choosing to apologize when there are fewer people around. You're very concerned about your reputation."

Zhao Guang glared at Su Han, warning, "Ah Han, Chief Shen hasn't spoken yet, you have no right to speak here!"

The two argued louder and louder, which soon attracted the attention of other superhumans on the city wall.

Drawn by the explosions near the armory, the zombies near the main gate limped toward the breach in the wall. The defensive line on the city wall had to shift accordingly.

This relocation brought everyone right in front of Su Han, Shen Chengyin, and Zhao Guang, forcing them to witness this spectacular show.

All the combat-capable people in the base surrounded the city wall in layers, staring longingly at Shen Chengyin.

If Chief Shen intervenes, the hole can be plugged, and the base will still have hope.

Shen Chengyin hadn't moved at all, and a gust of wind caused the stray hairs on his forehead to flutter slightly.

"Zhao Guang".

Shen Chengyin said in a deep voice.

"If it weren't for saving you from the horde of zombies that day, Wang Jiafu wouldn't have been able to kill me no matter what tricks he used."

"As a water-based ability user who is under special protection, you should have been arranged by me to hide in a safe place long ago."

"What benefits did Wang Jiafu give you?"
