Chapter 523: 287 Too Outstanding (First Update)

Qian Sen had originally thought that with his master Fang Yuxin present, he could closely observe Red Powder. Of course, it would have been even better if he could have a leaf, a wooden thorn, or a flower bud to study!

Little did he know Red Powder was temperamental and wouldn’t let anyone touch it; he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and reluctantly withdraw his gaze.

After all the zombies’ bodies had turned to ash, they hit the road again. They were already within the boundaries of Beishi City, and it shouldn’t be long before they reached the Safe Zone.

Following the encounter with that massive Zombie Group, Fang Yuxin became even more cautious. She drove very slowly, continually extending her Spiritual Sense to scout the surroundings. She felt something strange about the situation.

There were only a few scattered Zombie Groups nearby, none particularly large. By comparison, the one they had just encountered was the largest.

Fang Yuxin didn’t know if the zombies had hidden themselves or if they had all been killed. She found the latter unlikely—not that she underestimated the survivors of Beishi City, but because before the apocalypse, Beishi had been a heavily populated city, with a combined permanent and transient population of about thirty million. She didn’t know how many of those people had survived, but the majority had likely turned into zombies.

Unless some form of mass-destruction weapon was used, it was impossible to kill such a vast number of zombies! And to her knowledge, nuclear weapons were not an option, to say nothing of the horrific effects of nuclear contamination on the surviving humans. The most terrifying thing was that nuclear radiation would cause the Zombie Virus to mutate, making the mutated virus even more difficult to control!

Thus, after the apocalypse, no one dared to use nuclear weapons. The only choice was to organize survivors to fight back, gradually killing off the zombies.

But if the zombies hadn’t been killed, then they must have hidden themselves. Fang Yuxin didn’t know what was going on, so she could only take one step at a time.

Because there were so few zombies, they didn’t need to choose their path carefully; any random one would do. The three vehicles moved slowly; occasionally they encountered solitary zombies, which the others could handle without Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye needing to intervene.

About twenty minutes later, they finally came across other people. It was a small group of twenty individuals, surrounded by hundreds of zombies, and their situation didn’t look good.

Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye could tell at a glance that their powers were not strong—although all superpower users, their strength was only at Superpower Level 1. Except for the leader, a man at the Level 1 Middle Stage, the others seemed to be at the Level 1 Early Stage.

The leader of the Zombie Group besieging them was a Level 2 Strength Zombie. In addition to that, there were over a hundred Level 1 Zombies, while the rest were all Basic-level Zombies.

Although these were Basic-level Zombies, they were much more agile than those that had first emerged at the beginning of the apocalypse. With the strength of this group, perhaps facing just the Basic-level Zombies, they could have had a chance of winning. But now, with over a hundred Level 1 Zombies and even a Level 2 Zombie, these people were far from a match.

They formed a circle, back to back, facing the surrounding zombies, each with a look of panic and even despair on their faces, clearly at the end of their rope.

Seeing a car approaching from afar, the people were so preoccupied that they couldn’t even consider the fact that the car’s direction was suspicious. While defending against zombie attacks, they shouted loudly to Fang Yuxin and the others, "Help! Come save us quickly!"

Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye might not be saints, but since they had stumbled upon this scene, they couldn’t just watch these people be devoured alive by the zombies. Moreover, since they planned to stay in the Safe Zone of Beishi City, it wouldn’t be right not to help.

The two exchanged a look, disguising their energy fluctuations to resemble those of Second-level Superpower Users. After Bai Ye stopped the car, he followed Fang Yuxin out to rescue the people.

Qian Lang and Zhao Yan also stopped their vehicles. Except for the older Qian Sen and the younger Liu Yihuan, everyone else, including Li Qingyun, got out.

Li Qingyun’s Awakened superpower was rather unique, with no offensive Skills, but ever since she left Lin City Base with Fang Yuxin, she started to train herself. She held a spear specially made for her by Bai Ye; after all, she had never learned martial arts and lacked strength, and weapons such as knives or swords were not suitable for her.
