Chapter 13: The Strange Little Girl

At this moment, several Ability Users were looking at the pitch-black basement entrance with expressions as if they were constipated.

"Boss, what do we do now? Should we chase them inside?" a young man asked the youth leading the team.

"Chase them? The basement is so dark, and the terrain is narrow; if we get surrounded by Sangshi, we won't even be able to escape," the youth shook his head.

"Then what should we do? We can't just wait here, right?" another person said.

Hearing this, the youth said indifferently: "Going in is too risky. There are several hundred Sangshi inside; we simply can't beat them."

Ordinary Sangshi are the kind of monsters that can smash through anti-theft doors with a few punches, and there are now several hundred such monsters hiding inside the underground garage.

And a venue with narrow terrain like an underground garage is, in some places, even like a labyrinth.

If they were to rashly go in and get surrounded by a Zombie Group, whether they could run out would be a big problem.

"Then are we just going to guard it from out here?" someone asked.

Hearing this, the youth shook his head: "Guarding it won't work either. We are already close to the city center area now. It's fine during the day, but if night falls, we will very likely be discovered by Mutant Zombies."

"Damn apocalypse, damn Sangshi, damn Spiritual Qi recovery. If it weren't for the Spiritual Qi causing many materials to be corroded and changing their properties, leading to many weapons and equipment becoming unusable, we would have long since flattened all the Sangshi with powerful industry," one person couldn't help but complain.

Hearing this, another person interjected indifferently: "If there were no Spiritual Qi recovery, we wouldn't have become Ability Users either. It's just a blessing in disguise."

At this time, another person said: "I heard that the team of Wang Boshi at the Gan Cheng Jidi is researching technology that can imbue weapons and equipment with spiritual charm without needing Ability Users.

If it succeeds, we will be able to industrially produce an endless supply of weapons and equipment in the future, and by then, flattening all Sangshi and Bianyi Shou will just be a matter of time."

Hearing this, the leading youth shook his head: "How could it be that easy? Right now, the major bases haven't even researched how Ability Users appeared, so how could they possibly research technology that can imbue weapons and equipment with spirituality without needing Ability Users?"

Hearing this, another person sighed heavily. "Sigh! The current situation is that we have no way to wipe out all the Sangshi in a short time, and as time passes, although we Ability Users are also getting stronger, the Sangshi are getting stronger faster.

If we can't research a method for mass-producing weapons and equipment as soon as possible, I'm afraid that one day, we humans will be wiped out by the Sangshi.

Last month, over in Yindi, didn't a powerful Zombie King control a million-strong Zombie Group and wipe out the Jiayena Jidi in Yindi?"

Hearing this, heavy expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

"It's not just the Sangshi; the Bianyi Shou are also getting stronger. A Mutant Hu Wang appeared over at the Dongbei Jidi, and even large-caliber missiles can't do anything to it."

"I know about the Hu Wang. It is said that it can fly in mid-air and can also emit powerful sonic attacks and wind blade attacks. Especially the wind blade attacks; their power is so strong that even the base city walls can't withstand a few hits."

"Yeah, it's too strong. It is said that it took more than a dozen Top-tier Ability Users ranked at the top of the country to attack together to drive it away, and even then, several people died."

"I hope the scientists can be effective; otherwise, we humans are really going to be finished."

"Counting on scientists to research weapons and equipment that can be mass-produced without needing to be imbued with spiritual charm by Ability Users is not as good as counting on scientists to summarize a way to improve abilities faster.

Only if we Ability Users are stronger than the Sangshi and Bianyi Shou can we guarantee the continuation of humanity."

Next, after the few people talked for a while longer, a subordinate asked the youth: "Boss, what do we do now? Are we leaving or staying?"

"What's the use of staying? Which one of you dares to go inside and drag Chen Hai back?"

"But if we don't drag Chen Hai back, the Third Young Master won't be able to hold on for long, and it won't be easy to answer to the family, right?" one person said.

"Boss, I thought of a way." Suddenly, a subordinate's eyes lit up.

"What way?" The youth turned his head to look at him.

"We can have Xiao Pan come over, and then have him fly a drone inside to lure the Sangshi away. As long as we lure all the Sangshi away, we can catch Chen Hai."

Hearing this, another person shook his head directly: "It's almost impossible to lure the Sangshi away with a drone. The Sangshi aren't stupid either, unless we arrange for people to go down and lure them."

"Then arrange for people to go down and lure them. Have someone drive those two Armored Vehicles over, and then drive the Armored Vehicles down to lure the Sangshi." The youth looked at everyone, his face full of indifference.

"This method is good. As long as the Armored Vehicles don't encounter giant Sangshi, ordinary Sangshi can't do anything to them."

"The Sangshi along the way have basically been lured away. Have the others follow along as well," the youth continued to issue orders.

Just as the few Ability Users had Chen Yusheng blocked in the basement.

In the distance, in the city center, on the roof of a high-rise building dozens of stories tall, stood a little girl in a pink dress.

Her figure was petite, her face as exquisite as a porcelain doll, yet she happened to have a pair of ruby-like pupils, and a blood-red single horn as thick as a thumb and less than two centimeters long grew on her forehead; the whole person looked strange.

Behind her, hundreds of Mutant Zombies stood obediently, their appearances varied.

These Mutant Zombies included humanoid ones and beast-like ones.

A few Mutant Shou that were hard to distinguish as wolves or dogs were as sturdy as adult yellow cattle.

A bat-like flying mutant was hanging upside down on the roof, larger than a calf.

There were also Mutant Bird Sangshi like crows and falcons the size of lambs, densely surrounding the roof in a circle.

No matter what kind of Mutant Zombie or Mutant Shou it was, they were all respectful to the little girl, not daring to act out of turn in the slightest.

The little girl stood quietly on the roof, her gaze deep, as if she were pondering something.

After a long while, she suddenly let out a soft hiss and jumped toward the floor below.

Her body was as light as a feather; falling from a high-rise building of dozens of stories, she did not fall straight down, but instead, it was as if she were flying through the air.

As soon as she moved, the Mutant Zombies behind her immediately followed suit.

Mutant Zombies with long, thin limbs climbed down the outer walls of the high-rise, moving across eaves and walls as if walking on flat ground.

The flying Mutant Shou flapped their wings and followed closely, like loyal servants.

Only those Mutant Zombies and Mutant Shou that could not fly could only bury their heads and rush down the stairs.

Below the high-rise, tens of thousands of ordinary Sangshi packed the street until it was impassable.

Soon, the little girl flew to a stop in the air ten meters above the ground, with a group of Mutant Bird circling around behind her, making her appear even more eerie.

"Hiss~"

A high-pitched hiss came from her mouth.

The next second, countless ordinary Sangshi suddenly moved.
