The group on top of the water tower, led by Zhou Ling, watched the eight people below who were fighting in different areas of the zombie horde, showing no sign of retreat. Their eyes were initially filled with excitement, which gradually turned into admiration.

“We’re finally saved.”

“We’re really saved,” the beautiful girl Wen Wen even started to tear up in joy.

Although they had just barely managed to follow Nan Muran and her group to safely hide on top of the water tower, they couldn’t relax in their hearts. After all, there were still tens of thousands of zombies fighting below the water tower. It was clear that neither side could finish each other off by themselves.

Moreover, the five of them couldn’t stay hidden up here forever.

Without food, they couldn’t solve the problem. They couldn’t fight their way out, and if they stayed here, they would starve to death on top of the water tower.

“Their fighting strength is really impressive,” Huang Mao, the boy who had been terrified earlier, couldn’t help but sigh as he watched the group slaughtering zombies below the tower.

Zhou Ling and the boy wearing glasses nodded in agreement.

They had seen the strongest teams in the Lan City base, but none of them could compare to this group.

In fact, no one, even all the strongest teams combined, could stand up to these people.

If it weren’t for their luck in encountering this combat-expert team, they would surely have died here today.

“A Ling, didn’t your uncle want to find some more powerful ability users? Why not introduce them to him?” Wen Wen asked, looking at Nan Muran, who was fighting in the zombie horde like a glowing figure. A sense of inexplicable bitterness filled her heart.

Zhou Ling smiled wryly when he heard this. “They probably wouldn’t look at the Zhou family, would they?”

He was indeed a rich second-generation and a privileged family heir, and he had been a bit unruly at times. But he wasn’t a fool.

His father and uncle had only about twenty or so ability users in total.

The leader was a mid-level second-tier ability user, and that level of power was enough to make them act arrogantly, as though they were invincible.

What kind of strength did the people in front of him have?

None of the ability users in the entire Lan City security base could even approach the level of someone who could face off with a level-five mutated zombie.

The boy wearing glasses glanced at Wen Wen, who had clearly started to feel sour with jealousy, and thought to himself, This woman’s thoughts are truly heavy.

He made a mental note to keep a safe distance from her from now on to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

“Aren’t they just a few ability users? No matter how strong they are, don’t they still need the base to protect them? What’s so impressive about that?” Wen Wen complained when she heard Zhou Ling’s words.

Zhou Ling was about to retort, but his pupils suddenly contracted.

This was because Wen Wen had completely lost control of her body, first lifting off the ground, then with a heart-piercing scream, she was thrown out of the water tower’s railing.

Grabbing the railing, Wen Wen looked at the over twenty-meter drop below and the zombie horde that was continuously surging toward the tower. Her face turned ashen, and she was so frightened she didn’t dare move a muscle.

The others were also startled, not having time to react.

“A Ling, save me…”

Hearing the cry for help, Zhou Ling snapped back to his senses and instinctively moved to help her.

“Don’t move. If you move, I’ll throw you out too.” A cold tone emerged from the young voice of Qi Jin, the child who had been silently observing the battlefield below.

The five of them finally realized that the child, who had been quietly standing to one side, watching the battle, was also an ability user.

They had originally thought this child was just an ordinary kid, but it was clear now that this was another powerhouse.

The girl with the student hairstyle, Li Xiang, looked at Wen Wen, whose face had turned pale with fear, and couldn’t help but feel concerned. “Can you put her back inside? She might be scared to death like this.”

“If it weren’t for the fact that my older brothers and sisters are here, you’d already be dead,” Qi Jin spoke firmly.

Big Brother Eagle, Big Brother Si Ye, Uncle Jiawu, and even Brother Han had all told him to protect Muran Jie well.

They had also taught him that in the apocalypse, one must never be soft on those with bad intentions. It was important to strike first to eliminate any future threats.

This woman’s contemptuous words clearly marked her as a bad person.

Zhou Ling wanted to argue that this was a bandit’s logic, but upon thinking carefully, it seemed the child wasn’t wrong. In the end, he didn’t say anything to counter.

“Well… as long as a person realizes their mistake, they’re still a good person, right?

Look, Wen Wen has realized her mistake and is apologizing. Could you let her down now?” Li Xiang, the girl with the student hairstyle, was from a teaching background.

She understood the child’s logic, so instead of immediately rebuking Qi Jin, she softly negotiated with him.

Qi Jin frowned at her words, realizing she hadn’t said anything wrong.

She looked at Wen Wen, who was trembling outside the railing, and her eyes revealed a hint of disdain.

“I really know I was wrong. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things. Could you please let me down?” Wen Wen’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she begged Qi Jin.

She had considered flipping over the railing to save herself, but then she despaired when she found an invisible barrier in front of her that stopped all her movements.

Qi Jin, watching her sobbing face, couldn’t help but comment, “You really look ugly when you cry.”

Wen Wen froze, anger welling up inside her, but she didn’t dare speak.

Fortunately, she realized that the invisible barrier before her had disappeared. With Zhou Ling and Li Xiang’s help, she quickly climbed back inside the railing. Faced with life-or-death, she didn’t dare say another word.

At the same time, the battle between Nan Muran, Si Ye, and the level-five fire-type mutated zombie was coming to an end.

Nan Muran, who had directly absorbed the level-five water-type mutated zombie’s crystal core, had grown stronger in her control of spiritual power.

In the final moments, the fire-type mutated zombie could hardly make any moves under the pressure of her spiritual force.

Si Ye seized the opportunity, flipping over and climbing onto the zombie’s neck. Using his dagger, he forcefully twisted off the level-five fire zombie’s head.

With the level-five mutated zombie completely dealt with, the surrounding zombie horde lost its command and stopped advancing.

All the zombies began to instinctively gather toward areas where human presence could be detected.

Jiawu and the others were under even greater pressure now.

Nan Muran and Si Ye also joined the larger group working to deal with the zombies.

The remaining nearly five thousand zombies continued to swarm toward them, and Xiaobai and Xiao Liu began to set up the zombies in a frenzy before everyone worked together to eliminate them.

Nan Muran, using her recently enhanced spiritual power, began crushing zombies’ heads directly with her mental pressure.

Black-green fireworks lit up in the moonlit night, beginning at the center of their group, like a fountain, one after another. In just a short time, they had already dealt with hundreds of zombies’ heads.

Han Yingtian watched Nan Muran, his gaze deepening. Is this the power of a spiritual-type ability user?

With Nan Muran’s current strength, the entire military’s ability user teams couldn’t find anyone to match her.

Such formidable power in this apocalypse, one couldn’t tell if it was a blessing or a curse.
