Chapter 133: Chapter 132: The Arrival of the Apocalyptic Big Shot 9

Ji Xiaosong shook her head. "Even now, I’m filled with doubt. An antidote was supposedly developed in the tenth year of the apocalypse, but I can’t be sure if it was actually effective. It was never successfully tested on me, so there were never any conclusive results. As it stands, there are too many unknowns. Take the source of this apocalypse—aside from speculating that it’s something extraterrestrial, we’ve racked our brains and can’t think of any other reasonable explanation."

Since she put it that way, Gu Changqing didn’t press the matter. He turned to the others and continued, "Our Yongfeng Base is located south of the Chenming City suburbs. Therefore, our top priority is to solve the zombie problem within the city. Other parts of the country established bases early on as well, so the overall development is still under our control."

Gu Lin was the first to step forward. "Base Leader, I can lead the Superpower Corps to deal with the zombies."

Just as he spoke, he suddenly noticed something wrong on the conference room screen, which displayed the room where the zombies were being held.

"This is bad! The zombies have developed superpowers, and they counter our own!"

Ji Xiaosong was the first to spot the difference in the room, and she immediately cried out in alarm.

’In her previous life, the body’s original owner didn’t know when the zombies gained superpowers, so Ji Xiaosong had no way of knowing either.’

Everyone else’s attention was instantly drawn to the screen. They saw several zombies with superpowers in the room, attempting to use their newfound abilities.

The other zombies, even those without superpowers, were not slow either.

Gu Lin frowned. "At this rate, ordinary people won’t stand a chance against the zombies. We need to set out immediately."

Gu Changqing supported his proposal.

With a grave expression, Gu Changqing nodded decisively. "Gu Lin, lead the Superpower Corps and depart at once. I will allocate all available transport vehicles and weaponry from the base to ensure your logistical support is sufficient. At the same time, I’ll arrange for a communications team to maintain contact at all times. If you encounter any difficult situations, the base will provide full support."

After speaking, Gu Changqing turned his gaze to Ji Xiaosong and said sincerely, "Miss Ji, as the powerhouse with the highest Superpower Level in the base, your presence would greatly increase the odds of success for this operation. The ordinary people of Chenming City are in dire need of our rescue. Only by resolving the zombie crisis as quickly as possible can they regain peace."

Ji Xiaosong didn’t hesitate in the slightest. She stood up, her eyes firm. "It is my duty."

With that, everyone moved into action.

Alarms blared throughout the base. The members of the Superpower Corps quickly assembled, boarding one modified armored vehicle after another, each equipped with heavy weaponry and ample ammunition.

Ji Xiaosong sat in the front passenger seat of the first vehicle, her body exuding the powerful aura of her Wood and Ice Element superpowers, protecting the convoy.

The convoy, like a torrent of steel, sped towards Chenming City.

They kicked up billowing dust along the way. Everyone was on high alert, preparing for the intense battle ahead, determined to carve a bloody path for the ordinary people of Chenming City.

Their first stop was the hospital. Many people were there, and it also had urgently needed medical supplies.

As Gu Lin’s armored vehicle smashed through the rusted iron gates of Chenming City People’s Hospital, the onboard alarm suddenly let out a piercing shriek.

Through the bulletproof glass, he saw five or six zombies at a window on the third floor of the inpatient building, using a corrosive slime to dissolve the security bars.

Ji Xiaosong suddenly pressed Gu Lin’s hand on the steering wheel. Ice Crystal patterns immediately appeared on the back of his hand.

Almost simultaneously, a cloud of purple mist exploded outside the windshield. Countless bloody illusions suddenly flooded Gu Lin’s vision.

If Ji Xiaosong hadn’t frozen the neurotoxin in advance, he probably would have slammed on the gas and crashed into a load-bearing pillar.

"A mutated Spiritual System zombie has appeared. If even someone with your power can be affected, this zombie in the hospital must be particularly strong. I’ll go scout ahead. You find the survivors."

"Alright. Be careful."

Before the armored vehicle had even come to a complete stop, Ji Xiaosong had already turned into a mist of ice and vanished from the passenger seat.

Gu Lin looked up. At some point, an Ice Crystal dome with a hundred-meter diameter had formed over the roof of the inpatient building, and countless jade vines were spreading downwards along its icy surface.

When he used his Wind Ability to leap up to the third floor, he saw a sight he would never forget—

Three zombies with fleshy wings were spewing venom in mid-air, but Ji Xiaosong was poised on an Ice Lotus, suspended in the center of the toxic mist.

The ice beads condensed on the tips of her hair suddenly burst. Each one turned into a miniature vortex, sucking in all the venom and solidifying it into purple crystals.

Even more shocking, when those crystals hit the ground, they grew into pale blue purification grass, which instantly broke down the zombie remains in the hallway into specks of light.

"Catch!"

Ji Xiaosong suddenly tossed an Ice Crystal Longbow toward Gu Lin.

When he instinctively drew the string, thorny vines suddenly sprouted from the bow’s body and pierced his wrist.

In agony, Gu Lin’s four superpowers uncontrollably poured into the arrow. The four-colored streams of light—gold, wood, water, and fire—merged at the arrowhead into pure white energy.

The winged zombie that was shot instantly exploded, and the excruciating pain in Gu Lin’s hand slowly faded. His power seemed even greater than before.

Gu Lin’s hand holding the Ice Crystal Longbow trembled slightly. In that instant when his four superpowers merged, he felt as if he had touched upon the true secret to using them.

When he saw Ji Xiaosong’s figure floating on the Ice Lotus, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Three zombies behind the purification unit in the southeast corner!"

Ji Xiaosong’s sharp cry startled him out of his daze.

Gu Lin spun around and fired three Thunder Light Arrows. The electric arcs instantly lit up the entire inpatient building as they coursed through the network of vines.

The moment the purple crystals and the thunder light collided, an icy blue halo exploded in every hospital room.

Triple kill!

"Save us! Please, save us!"

Desperate cries echoed through the hospital corridors, laced with fear and helplessness.

There were still quite a few survivors in the hospital.

During this zombie crisis, they had been hiding in corners, watching the horrifying scenes outside in terror, utterly exhausted in body and mind.

A flame of hope ignited in the survivors’ eyes when they saw Ji Xiaosong poised on an Ice Lotus, floating in the center of the toxic mist and displaying her immense power. That hope grew as they watched the Superpower Users in military uniforms skillfully dispatching the zombies, their every movement exuding professionalism and confidence.

To them, those military uniforms were never just ordinary clothes. They represented safety and strength, bringing a sliver of warmth to their once cold and desperate hearts.

They rushed out from their hiding places, running toward Ji Xiaosong and Gu Lin, shouting for help as they ran. It was as if just getting close to these powerful figures would be enough to escape the zombie threat.

The survivors’ panicked screams attracted zombies from all over. They began to emerge from every corner, taking on the role of predators.

With no technique, only pure instinct, the zombies rushed toward the moving figures as fast as they could.
