The first to understand was Yang Lin. He recalled what Xiao Sa had said about enhancing their powers. Looking at Bai Jing’s actions at this time, he felt that his blood was boiling, not only because of adrenaline from the fight, but also because of his desire for strength. As long as they were men, there wasn't anyone who wouldn't want to get stronger, let alone now when the world was so dangerous; the more strength they had, the greater the probability of survival.

Yang Lin grew more and more excited as he thought about it, his entire person br.i.m.m.i.n.g with excitement as he stared at Bai Jing; the light coming from his eyes was almost blinding.

“Hey? Did you take the wrong medicine?" w.a.n.g Fan patted him, frowned, then glanced at the zombies that were approaching and shouted, "Hurry up and fight!"

“Good!” Yang Lin grinned widely. As he turned around, his actions were extremely sharp and he showed off a trick with the gun in his hands. He seemed to inadvertently pull the trigger, and the head of a zombie in the distance instantly burst apart, making people around them exclaim in admiration at the sight.

Yang Lin was very proud as he showed off, “Bang! Bang! Bang!”, and let out a few more shots. Just looking at how energetic he was, it seemed like he'd just been injected with chicken blood!

w.a.n.g Fan was too lazy to watch him show off and directly ordered his team to divide up their work according to their personal strength. He understood Xiao Sa's words just now; just like in the army, the most worrisome thing during missions were non-cooperative teammates. Now that they had discovered the reason why zombies had broken through their defenses, he would naturally correct the problem. In fact, in the final a.n.a.lysis, it was still because they lacked team cohesiveness. They hadn't been together for long enough, and there were too many civilians here. Even if they had gained abilities and trained after the apocalypse, how could they have learned about strategy and team cooperation in one or two years? What's more, during every minute while they were fighting, they not only needed to learn, they also needed to understand and apply what they'd learned…

Nevertheless, w.a.n.g Fan was very satisfied with the team and his teammates. To a certain extent, he could say with certainty that their team was pretty good. Their captain was strong, their teammates were united, and most importantly, they were obedient. A soldiers’ duty was to obey, and since he had a group of obedient teammates, even if their strength wasn't high and their brains weren't very smart, as long as they obeyed orders, this was the best thing for leaders. Regardless of whether Xiao Sa had used materials to bribe people to obey or used his strength to force them to submit, w.a.n.g Fan had to praise Xiao Sa for having done such a great job. He'd been very successful, because even in his own case, Xiao Sa had produced a kind of respect in their hearts - reverence!

Another wave of zombie attacks started. This time, Xiao Sa did not join the battle. He watched, angry, loving, and helpless as Bai Jing teleported amongst the zombies. He felt that his little lover really deserved a spanking. Although he knew that Little Jing's s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+eld was really good, this scene really made people’s hearts jump. Imagine, how frightening was it to watch one's lover jump around a single zombie's mouth? Let alone when there were thousands of them?

Xiao Sa climbed easily onto the roof of a car and decided that he wouldn't be agitated by what he couldn't see; he closed his eyes and started to meditate. In fact, after the initial shock, he no longer worried about Bai Jing at all. Not to mention the s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+eld that isolated him from everything else, just the heaven-defying skill of instant teleportation was enough for him to escape from any crisis. Instead of worrying blindly, he should restore his strength as soon as possible. On the battlefield, the environment s.h.i.+fted every second, and that was what he was most worried about. A lot of things could happen in half an hour!

Xiao Sa slowly closed his eyes, gathered his thoughts, and sank his consciousness into his body, mobilizing his powers to circulate. The world around him instantly turned quiet…

“Brother Sa is indeed a high level person.” Everyone who saw this scene praised him. Xiao Sa’s appearance at this time seemed to carry a unique style to it, akin to the extraordinary powerful people from martial arts novels.

Others twitched their lips, their hearts filled with doubt and suspicion; could it be that martial arts really existed in this world?

However, no matter what kind of scenarios these people were coming up with in their hearts, Bai Jing's expression was now as black as the bottom of a pot. Really, it was just because he felt dirty; although it didn't make him feel nauseous digging through the zombies' heads, his hands were now sticky and covered with a viscous liquid, and the disgusting odor of rotten corpses made his skin crawl.

Indeed, people couldn't be pampered. He had gotten used to living the good life ever since his rebirth. In his previous life, he wouldn't have minded these things, but now, Bai Jing internally cursed. Even so, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his mentality. People’s living habits would always change with the environment, and he had never been the type of person to suffer needlessly.

Bai Jing crouched on the ground with a disgusted expression, a cold light in his eyes. At this time, he could only go into battle and personally see to this task, wielding his knife fiercely; his actions simple and neat, every cut precise. If there were professionals nearby, they would be able to tell at a glance that his proficiency couldn't be achieved without having made at least a thousand such cuts.

Only the heavens knew that during the end of the world, no matter who it was, they could be unfamiliar with anything else, but when it came to decapitating zombies, it was absolutely everyone's best skill.

Coming up empty once again, Bai Jing dug a hole and pulled his hand out of a zombie's head in disgust. Bai Jing's heart roared with angry flames; he had already done his best to choose level one zombies, but d.a.m.n it, why were there so many zombies? He kicked away the zombie he'd just cut down with his foot, his expression ugly, his body full of killing intent, and moved on to the next zombie.

The fighting had already resumed. Ever since Xiao Sa had admonished them, everyone had divided themselves into ten teams, and the division of work was determined by the team leader. At present, the situation was much better than it had been before, and their defenses were very tight. Even if zombies rushed in, they would quickly be eliminated.

Things were going so smoothly that even the heavens couldn't watch on calmly.

Although Bai Jing was within the crowd of zombies, regardless of whether it was due to his ident.i.ty or due to his strength, he was always the focus of attention.

“Ah--”

“Be careful!”

Bai Jing suddenly heard two exclamations. Originally, he was in a bad mood and didn't want to pay attention to them, but he was also concerned that there might really be danger; after all, everyone was part of the same team, and Xiao Sa was meditating and unable to help anyone. He had only just turned his head around when he saw that Xu Feng and Li Ran looked anxious enough to burst a gallbladder. There was also panic, anxiety, and worry on the faces of the rest of the team.

He suddenly felt a chill in his heart. There seemed to be a gust of fierce wind rus.h.i.+ng in his ears, and it was too late for him to react…

“No--” Wu Guoan cried out in alarm. He was in a panic; others might not know, but he knew that if something happened to Young Master Jing, he would die. If Brother Sa was a blade, then Young Master Jing was his scabbard. An unsheathed weapon without a scabbard; he really didn't know what would happen! Brother Sa had always been ruthless to others but was even crueller to himself!

Wu Guoan quickly closed his eyes out of fear. He didn't want to see the scene of Bai Jing being torn apart by the zombies. Many others couldn't bear to look on, not daring to see the scene of the zombies piercing the dazzling youth with their claws and teeth!

But it soon became obvious that their fears were superfluous.

When faced with danger, instantaneous teleportation had already become Bai Jing's first instinctive reaction. Everyone could see that there was a zombie standing closely behind Bai Jing, moving like the zombies around it, but if one looked carefully, it was much cleaner than ordinary zombies and did not have as much sticky liquid all over its body. Its face was pale, but it wasn't as dark as the other zombies who looked like they were all malnourished. Although its movements were stiff, it seemed more like it was looking for something.

Once it had determined its target, the zombie's movements were as quick as lightning. Its sharp nails shone with a cold light, and in just the blink of an eye, it had appeared close to Bai Jing, its fingertips about to pierce his body.

Bai Jing disappeared in a flash. He knew that he had been careless. Although the s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+eld could isolate his aura, it couldn't hide his movements. The only good thing was that when he had sensed danger, his first reaction hadn't been to turn back and confront it but to teleport away.

The zombie swiped at empty air, and its movements once again turned stiff. Sounds gurgled up from its throat, and a gust of wind surrounded it as it seemed to suddenly become enraged. It turned its neck stiffly, then roared up into the sky, "Wu--Wu---Wu---"

When Bai Jing heard the sound, his expression changed, showing both joy and sorrow. He didn't think twice, taking a gun out of his s.p.a.ce as he teleported back to the spot where he had just been.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Several shots landed accurately on the zombie's head.

The zombie bared its teeth, and its figure swayed. Bai Jing's actions had apparently angered it, causing it to roar and attack quickly.

The speed of the zombie was incredible. Every attack was accompanied by a powerful whirlwind, and it was obvious that not only did the zombie have wind abilities, the gun that Bai Jing had just fired didn't cause much damage to it.

All the mercenaries who saw this scene turned pale. If guns and ammunition didn't work, how could they break out of this siege and survive--

Bai Jing found it very difficult to dodge away. Although he had teleportation, he still needed a second to regain his footing after every s.h.i.+ft. The zombie's wind ability greatly increased its base speed, and quite often, the zombie would suddenly launch an attack while Bai Jing was still trying to stand.

Unlike his worried teammates, Bai Jing grew more and more excited as he fought. He coolly fired his gun, and even switched to different types of guns to fight. This was a level two zombie and was the perfect opponent for him to train against. Although he couldn't use the crystal nucleus of a level two zombie, it would still help strengthen his teammates.

Seeing how Bai Jing was fighting, the originally worried teammates suddenly felt like they had nothing to say. Bai Jing didn't touch the zombie, merely dodging through teleportation, then stealthily launching an attack. If Bai Jing's opponent hadn't been a zombie, they might even have felt sympathy for Bai Jing's enemy. With this kind of fighting method, he was simply grinding his enemies to death!

This was also the first time that people had seen Bai Jing's strength. Although he was resorting to tricks, n.o.body could deny that Bai Jing was very powerful. If the one fighting with the level two zombie had been themselves, none of them could guarantee their own lives.

“Wu--” A roar suddenly came from a short distance away.

Following the cry, the ordinary and level one zombies went berserk and attacked more violently.

"Wuwuwu---"

And with that roar from the distance, it seemed that an answering roar came from all around them. The sound travelled through the night sky like the howling cry of wolves!

“Not good, the zombies are communicating!" Only then did everyone realize what the zombie roars meant.

All of a sudden, the sound of artillery fire filled up the sky, and people no longer had time to watch Bai Jing. The situation had sharply deteriorated, and there was still an unknown danger coming. The situation became extremely urgent…

“Everyone should pay attention to intensifying their attacks." Wu Guoan yelled at the top of his lungs. He was very clear in his heart that if they couldn't eliminate these small fish now, when the more powerful zombies came later, they wouldn't be able to survive.

“Use grenades!”

“Quick-“

“Oh no! The stronger zombies have arrived."

“Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The intense scene was very thrilling. With the arrival of the level-two zombies, danger was now everywhere.

Bai Jing’s expression turned cautious. He stopped playing around with the zombie, flying to a spot five feet away. He replaced his gun with a steel knife, then immediately teleported behind it. With a sharp crack, the zombie that had already been sent into a frenzy by his antics had its head cut off with ease.
