"Buzz—!"

Suddenly, everyone heard a loud buzzing sound coming from the sky!

Immediately afterwards!

The crowd, who were desperately stabbing the zombies in front of the wall, paused. A nearly transparent light membrane rose out of thin air along the outline of the wall. Wherever the light membrane passed, the zombies stuck to it were neatly cut in half, and the dirty blood splattered on the smooth barrier and slid off.

The zombies outside were instantly isolated; they pounded on the membrane but could not move an inch.

The survivors were stunned by this incredible phenomenon and stood frozen in place for a moment.

"What...what is this?" The frenzied discussion in the crowd started with this question.

Zhao Xinduo stared intently at the spatial barrier. She had never seen Shenhe use it before, so she naturally didn't know it was him who had arrived.

It wasn't until a figure landed in front of her, looking at her with a smile, that Zhao Xinduo opened her mouth and exclaimed in surprise!

"Brother Shen! It was you! I knew it! How could anyone be more capable than you!"

As Zhao Xinduo spoke, she jumped into Shenhe's arms and clung tightly to him.

Just as she jumped in, Zhao Xinduo suddenly remembered that she was in front of everyone. Her cheeks flushed, and her legs wobbled a couple of times. "Brother Shen, put me down! I'm the goddess of the hospital now, you can't do this!"

Shenhe laughed at her adorable look, lowered his head and kissed her in her shy gaze before releasing his arms around her slender waist and putting her down.

So what if she's a goddess? She's his goddess too.

"You still care about your image, huh?" He gently stroked her nose. "Who's in charge of the hospital now? I need to talk to him."

Zhao Xinduo blushed and took Shenhe's hand. "Brother Shen is naughty. Come on, I'll take you to find him."

Seeing Zhao Xinduo intimately leading Shenhe away, the people below the wall were all talking about who Shenhe was.

But most people remained silent, watching the barrier that shot straight into the sky, standing between the wall and the zombies!

Countless zombies were pounding on the barrier, but it remained completely still. Everyone was deeply shocked. Was this really the power that humans could wield?

In the lobby of the emergency center, chairs and floor tiles were filled with survivors taking a break. Zhao Xinduo pulled Shenhe in, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Along the way, people kept standing up to greet her respectfully.

"Hello, Miss Zhao!"

"Ms. Zhao, you've worked hard!"

Zhao Xinduo smiled and nodded in response, her chin slightly raised, her eyes revealing undisguised pride and satisfaction.

Two men and a woman were huddled in a corner of the hall, their clothes worn and weathered, their faces weathered and their bodies smelling of grime.

Their eyes followed Shenhe's retreating figure until the two disappeared up the stairs. Then they exchanged a complicated glance and silently lowered their heads.

The young man stared blankly at the stairwell, as if lost in a distant memory. He was wearing glasses, but one lens was missing and the other was cracked. He looked utterly disheveled.

The old lady next to him sighed as she looked at her son's expression, her face full of sorrow, and then hugged herself to sleep.

An office on the second floor.

"Continuing to hold out like this isn't a solution!"

Special police captain Zheng Yong's voice was weary but firm: "The hospital's walls are too thin. Drones have scouted it out; what's coming so far are just zombies from the outskirts of the city."

The further we go into the city, the more there are! Hanzhou City has five million permanent residents. Even if 80% have turned into zombies, or even if only 10% come, we can't hold them off! We'll be exhausted to death!

"If we had guns, it would be fine, but what about now? We're just relying on these few steel bars? I suggest we organize an immediate retreat!"

"Where to retreat to?"

Dean Zhou Ming's voice was somber, "The outside is teeming with zombies. Taking even one step outside the walls carries the risk of injury or death!"

"Retreat to the countryside, the more remote the better." It was Platoon Leader Gao Yuan who spoke up. "If we keep dragging this out, we'll be surrounded by a horde of zombies and die here sooner or later. This hospital will be our graveyard."

"Isn't there Miss Zhao?" Zhou Ming was still hesitant. "She's a superhuman; she can wipe out a whole area with a single move. If we protect her with all our might, maybe we can pull through?"

"Even superhumans aren't made of iron!"

Zhao Guodong's voice was filled with anger.

"How many full nights has Duoduo slept these past few days? If a massive zombie horde comes, she'll be exhausted to death first! Millions of zombies, and my daughter is expected to take them all on by herself? What are you thinking!"

Xu Hongmei nodded in agreement, her face full of heartache.

"I also agree to evacuate. If we continue like this, Duoduo's health will collapse first."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming looked ashamed and said no more.

"Alright, let's discuss where to retreat to first," Zheng Yong decided.

Shenhe and Zhao Xinduo had just reached the office door when they could hear the conversation inside clearly.

The two exchanged a glance, then pushed open the door and went inside.

"Duoduo is back."

"Duoduo, are you tired?"

"Huh? Mr. Shen... what brings you here!"

Zhao Xinduo walked in first, and everyone greeted her warmly as soon as she entered. Xu Hongmei and Zhao Guodong even stood up from their chairs and came over to greet her.

Her small body couldn't block Shenhe from behind. As soon as Shenhe entered, Zheng Yong and Gao Yuan quickly stood up to greet him.

Zhao Xinduo already had Xu Hongmei and the others to take care of her, so they didn't need the two of them. But now that Shenhe had arrived, they couldn't sit still anymore.

Dean Zhou Ming had never met Shen He before; he simply stood up from his seat and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Zheng Yong strode to the door, shook hands with Shen He, and Gao Yuan did the same. The two of them led Shen He to the head seat, saying, "Mr. Shen, please sit here."

Xu Hongmei nodded to Shenhe in greeting, then pulled Zhao Xinduo to sit on the sofa, unwrapped her favorite cake, and handed it to her.

Shenhe didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly in the main seat. As a general, he held the highest position, which was perfectly reasonable.

Zheng Yong and his group were so enthusiastic that Zhao Guodong couldn't get a word in edgewise, so he could only nod at Shenhe.

"Who is this?"

Zhou Ming had never seen Shenhe before, so he asked Zheng Yong in a low voice.

"During the last grain crisis, it was Mr. Shen who helped us out; otherwise, we would have starved to death long ago."

Zheng Yong offered an explanation.

"So it's the legendary Mr. Shen. I've only heard of him but never met him. It's a great honor to meet him today. Zhou Ming thanks Mr. Shen for his great help to the hospital base."

Zhou Ming bowed deeply to Shenhe with gratitude. If it weren't for Shenhe's help, he might have died on the last time he went to the plateau. Shenhe was a key member of the temporary base.

Shenhe heard Zhou Ming's voice and realized that he was the one who dared not leave and placed his hopes on Duoduo. His favorability rating was 65, which was considered friendly.

But because he wanted to treat Duoduo like a beast of burden, Shenhe ignored him and just hummed in agreement.

Zhou Ming didn't care, nor did he dare to care; it's normal for experts to have a bit of arrogance.

"I overheard your conversation just now. As you know, the city is no longer safe. I came here to take Duoduo away, and of course, to help you evacuate as well."

After Shenhe finished speaking, the people in the room looked at each other in bewilderment.

They just talked about evacuation, what a coincidence.

Zheng Yong was the first to recover. He leaned forward and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Shen, where do you plan to take us?"

"Beichuan Ancient City."

Shenhe raised his eyes and uttered four words.
