“Where are the people?”
If there was no danger, why hadn’t those ability users discovered anything?
“There’s no one there. Nothing is happening.”
The helicopter’s sound was not small, and it was quite conspicuous flying over the abandoned city.
They had circled twice but found no one asking for their help.
“Alright, let’s go down. After the analysis of the recordings is out, we’ll decide on the next steps.”
Waving his hand, the person who had just reported left directly.
No one. Hundreds of people, more than a dozen teams, except for the returning team, not a single soul.
They were all ability users, with experience fighting zombies, unlike ordinary people when the apocalypse first broke out.
Even if they encountered zombies that had been left uncleared, this situation shouldn’t have happened.
“There must be dangerous creatures there, such as high-level intelligent zombies or mutated animals.”
Elder Fei’s expression was very stiff. He hadn’t encountered such a tricky problem in a long time.
However, these were all just guesses. They still had to wait for the results of the video analysis before informing Wuming City.
Soon, the people observing the recordings reported their findings.
They had found images resembling human bodies in several places, but those people were not moving. Upon magnification, they finally saw clearly that they were all corpses.
And they were corpses that had mutated into zombies.
“When we cleared J City before, we dragged out all the zombie corpses and buried them outside the city,” a military officer said in surprise, looking at the report.
It was impossible for there to be no survivors after zombies and humans killed each other. Since the helicopter went to J City and no humans came out to ask for help, it could only mean that there were no human survivors in the city. The city had likely gathered zombies again.
“Clear it out. Go and clear it out again, and this time send the best ability user teams. There are likely higher-level zombies there.”
Elder Fei’s expression was solemn. He tapped his fingers on the table, then finally stood up, picked up his communicator, and dialed Wuming City.
“Hello, I am Elder Fei from Jing City. We have encountered…”
After the call ended, Elder Fei put away his communicator and said seriously to the management staff in the office, “Arrange your personnel, select our strongest ability users. Wuming City will also send people to reinforce this operation. They will arrive in about two hours. Prepare to depart at any time.”
Elder Fei issued the final order. The people in the office stood up solemnly, saluted, and turned to leave.
Soon, personnel from Wuming City arrived in Jing City. To everyone’s surprise, only Lu Heng came.
Since it was a zombie problem that few could handle, Lu Heng and Lin Xue could solve it faster.
Moreover, Lu Heng was also very curious to see what kind of zombies could annihilate hundreds of ability users.
“Uh, why did you come in person?”
Elder Fei was very surprised to see Lu Heng land in the瓮城 of Jing City riding a giant bird.
“Mm, I’ll go take a look. You people don’t need to follow for now.”
Lu Heng glanced at the Jing City soldiers gathered in the city. These were all ability users above level five. Although not as high-level as those from Wuming City, they were likely Jing City’s best combat force.
“This? Don’t you need to send more people?”
“No need. I came to tell you that you can wait. We’ll probably give you an answer before nightfall.”
Without further ado with the people from Jing City, Lu Heng jumped onto the eagle-beaked beast and left quickly.
When Lu Heng arrived above J City, he summoned Lin Xue.
After circling the city with Lin Xue, Lin Xue said to Lu Heng, “There’s a level ten zombie, and nearly a hundred level four zombies.”
“Mm, summon them to that open space. I want to see what’s special about that level ten one.”
Controlling the eagle-beaked beast, Lu Heng landed them on a pointed monument in the J City square. Lu Heng controlled the vegetation to recede from the square, revealing the concrete ground damaged by the vegetation.
At this moment, many zombies emerged from all directions.
These were clearly controlled by Lin Xue. They moved slowly and gathered together.
To allow Lu Heng to see the situation of these zombies clearly, Lin Xue assigned them positions.
These controlled zombies stopped moving once they reached their designated locations.
Lu Heng immediately noticed a different zombie.
The clothes worn by that zombie were tattered and hung on its body like strips of cloth.
From Lu Heng’s perspective, there were no wounds on its body.
“Summon it over and release your control over it.”
The level ten zombie walked to the base of the pointed monument. It was a speed-type zombie.
Freed from Lin Xue’s control, it sensed something and looked up towards the high ground.
That was where Lu Heng and Lin Xue were.
“You are also a zombie, why are you with humans?”
The zombie had already realized that Lin Xue and Lu Heng were together, which made it very surprised.
Lin Xue did not answer. Without Lu Heng’s permission, she generally did not converse with other zombies.
Without receiving an answer, the zombie didn’t pay much attention, but it was very confused about how it had arrived here.
Then, it turned its body, no longer looking at Lu Heng and the others, and began to control the zombies gathered in the square.
It had originally controlled these zombies to hide in various parts of the city, solely to ambush humans entering the city and expand their zombie ranks.
But after several attempts, the zombies in the square remained unresponsive.
It looked up at Lin Xue again. Lin Xue was at a higher level than it, and it could sense that. Therefore, these zombies were controlled by Lin Xue.
Seeing that the zombies could not be mobilized, the level ten zombie turned and tried to leave.
“You can’t go.”
Finally, Lin Xue spoke, but she didn’t control it; she simply stopped it from leaving.
Lu Heng had been observing the zombie on the pointed monument. After the zombie was no longer controlled by Lin Xue, its actions were merely those that all high-level zombies would perform, with no other special characteristics.
Therefore, there was no need for him to waste more time observing these zombies.
As if sensing the killing intent emanating from Lu Heng, the zombie panicked and ran towards the nearest building.
Its speed was very fast, and it flashed out for more than ten meters, but its speed could not match Lu Heng’s.
With a wave of Lu Heng’s hand, countless branches shot up from the ground. Those branches pierced through the zombie’s feet and continued to grow until they pierced the zombie’s head.
In an instant, the square looked like it was skewered with many meat skewers, and the level ten zombie was instantly killed along with them.
“Alright, we can go back.”
After Lin Xue confirmed that there were no more zombies there, Lu Heng recalled Lin Xue and returned to Jing City.
After informing the people in Jing City of the news, he also returned to Wuming City.
