Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Straight to the Clouds
Only a few High-level superpower users stared with wide eyes, looking down at the scene in disbelief.
Such a powerful fluctuation of superpower energy.
What is this?
Xie Ning glanced at her boyfriend’s shocked face and smiled happily. "I fused almost all of the Gold Ability with your Thunderstorm Power. Then I sealed it in a little square box!"
"After we got away, it all exploded!"
She made a simple little victory gesture and tilted her head. "Fun!"
The so-called "little square box" was actually a wall of Space she had constructed.
In other words, the little trickster had blended three types of power together, which then started to detonate once everyone was a safe distance away.
Unimaginable!
The middle-aged woman with the Fire Element stared wide-eyed, not even daring to approach the edge of the city wall.
’If we had been even a step slower just now,’ she thought, ’we would have been annihilated along with that truck-sized mutant plant...’
"That wasn’t fun at all," Gu Chen retorted, roughly ruffling his girlfriend’s hair. "Look at you now."
The young woman’s lips were as white as a sheet of paper, and his heart ached seeing her like this.
"I’m fine." Xie Ning pulled his hand down and gave a small smile. "I’ll recover after some rest."
"That was too risky." Gu Chen let out a breath. "From now on, you must stay by my side. Don’t you dare leave me for a second."
"I know, I know, you nag." Xie Ning winked at him.
"My god, is that even humanly possible?" Zheng Feina finally sighed after a long pause.
Several teammates beside her scrambled to the edge of the wall to look, exclaiming, "Quick, look at this!"
This was too incredible.
Zhuang Xinyi, who had watched everything from beginning to end, now stood beside Zha Peng in a daze, as if she’d lost her senses, her fingers twisted tightly together.
’So this is... the power of a Superpower User.’
’The scene was like a special effect from a movie. It was too surreal.’
’How could Xie Ning...’
’...control such immense power?’
’She led that group of Superpower Users, running on thin air to the center of the battlefield, and then dashed back.’
’At the same time, a terrifying burst of superpower energy erupted from the center of the battlefield, practically leveling all the dazed zombies in the vicinity.’
That’s right. Xie Ning’s single move had actually wiped out every zombie in that area.
’Can such terrifying power still be considered human?’
’I’ve never seen anyone who could do something like this.’
’Have Superpower Users now evolved to the point where they can do whatever they want, soaring into the heavens and diving into the earth without a care?’
’If they want to shoot into the clouds, they shoot into the clouds.’
’If they want to stroll among the clouds, they stroll among the clouds.’
’To take the lives of ordinary people like them would be as easy as snapping their fingers.’
At this thought, Zhuang Xinyi couldn’t help but shudder.
’To Superpower Users, people like us are probably just like ants.’
This direct visual shock was a huge blow to Zhuang Xinyi.
This included Zha Peng. Even though Zha Peng was a Superpower User, he had never seen an attack with such immense superpower energy.
Right now, just like Zhuang Xinyi, he was frozen on the spot in a stupor.
Before them was a vast cloud of smoke and dust.
Where there was once a sprawling, mountain-like horde of zombies, a vacuum had been carved out from its center.
That’s right. With the truck-sized mutant plant at the epicenter, a circle of zombies, along with the behemoth itself, had been completely obliterated by the superpower energy, not even leaving a speck of dust behind.
The shockwave of superpower energy was still spreading out in all directions.
Any zombie that touched this invisible ring of superpower was visibly annihilated.
The air fell silent for a few seconds.
Then, everyone erupted in successive cheers.
It was like a shot of adrenaline. The crowd, exhausted from fighting continuously for a day and a night, was invigorated by the scene before them, their spirits soaring once more.
"That was incredible! Who is that?"
People ran around, asking each other for news.
"I heard she’s Xiao Gu’s girlfriend."
"My god, where did Captain Gu pick up such an amazing girlfriend? Why don’t I have one?"
"What do you mean, ’pick up’? Watch your mouth."
Amidst the joyous clamor of the crowd, Zhuang Xinyi silently lowered her head, her hands clenched tightly.
She could no longer feel the pain in her hands from how tightly she was squeezing them; her heart felt like it was being fried in hot oil, an agonizing torment.
It had been over a year since the apocalypse began, but today, she felt more wretched than on any other day.
That... strange feeling of being completely surpassed by a former classmate made her entire body uncomfortable. Nothing felt right.
"So powerful," He Zhi said, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, put your backs into it! Stop gawking and get back to repairing the wall! And you... Li Dawei! Why’d you run off over there again? Get over here and move some rocks! Come on!"
"You’re supposed to stay with the Earth Ability Users, you know? Why are you always running around? Can’t you control your own feet?"
"Can someone come help out? We’re serving food! Everyone who’s been relieved from the front, come eat first!"
Before they knew it, it was lunchtime. But right now, everyone’s drive to fight zombies was amplified, and they felt as if they had an endless supply of energy.
Their fighting spirit had been ignited.
"What’s the current situation?" Gu Chen helped his girlfriend down from the watchtower and went to the main control room, grabbing a technician to ask.
"What about the Ice Element mutant zombie on the west wall?"
"It’s strange. It’s been moving within a fixed area and hasn’t done anything unusual. Captain, the situation is starting to stabilize." The technician wiped away his sweat, a rare smile on his face.
"At this rate, it’s not impossible to repel the zombie horde."
Especially since they had such a powerful master in their ranks!
The technician’s eyes glowed as he looked at Xie Ning.
They had seen the earlier scene on the surveillance monitors!
For them, who had a comprehensive view of the entire situation, the shock from watching the video was even greater than it was for those on-site.
"Don’t let your guard down," Gu Chen instructed. "Bring in the relief personnel to swap with our team members. Let the Superpower Team get a good few hours of rest."
"The supply of superpower replenishment potions needs to be maintained. And food. The food supply has to keep up, too. Don’t let everyone fight on an empty stomach."
"Yes, Captain! We’ll get on it right away."
"Ningning, you stay here and rest. Don’t go anywhere." Gu Chen pulled his girlfriend into the inner break room and pressed her down onto a leather chair. "You can go back out when you’re fully recovered, and not a moment sooner."
"And no more reckless stunts like that in the future."
’After completely draining her superpower, she still forced herself to get them all back and protect everyone. Looking at her pale little face, his heart ached.’
"I’m fine," Xie Ning said with a smile. "Go on, get busy. I’ll just lie down here for a bit."
Gu Chen nodded. "Lock the door before you sleep. Message me when you wake up, and I’ll bring you something good to eat."
