Clang! The steel wires were nailed into the walls on both sides. By the time they finished, the long-haired zombie had already charged forward. Kyle and Graham stepped back a few paces. Shh— The speed-type mutated zombie ran straight through the steel wires. It was sliced neatly, even the hardest part, the skull, pierced from above the eyebrows thanks to its incredible speed. Kyle drew a katana from his back and, with a precise motion, plucked a child-fist-sized gleamstone from the zombie's severed head. A Level 5 speed-type mutated zombie—killed instantly. At that moment, a large group of dark figures emerged from the corridor ahead. Zombies of various forms were drawn by the sounds and scents, swinging their bodies as they charged. Kyle and Graham exchanged a glance. Both grabbed several steel wires in their palms, layering them into the walls one by one. After nailing down more than a dozen layers of wire nets, the zombies were already rushing forward. They barreled through one steel wire, only to face the second, then the third. Among them were strength-mutated zombies and body-hardened zombies. Countless corpses scattered across the ground. By the time they reached the last steel wire, over twenty zombies were completely eliminated. Calvin watched in awe, utterly convinced by their professionalism and skill. I can tell that to reach this level of skill in taking down huge groups of zombies, one has to fight through countless hordes. Where ordinary people can't even step, these operatives move as if the ground is flat. I know for sure that even the strongest commanders at the East Sea wouldn't stand a chance against just one of them. Their strength, their abilities—everything about them is terrifying.Kyle and Graham did not advance further. After attracting the zombies with sound, they waited three minutes. Finding no more zombies approaching, they removed the last steel wire. The others quickly cleared the path, dug out the gleamstones, and had earth-type supernatural users build a path over the corpses. Calvin wanted to help with his fire ability, but just as he ignited flames, an oppressive force snuffed them out. "The oxygen here is insufficient. Fire can't be used." Theresa's voice came lazily. Calvin stared at his palm in disbelief. Feeling the oppressive force—it was coming from Theresa herself. He realized he couldn't even ignite flames in her presence. Seeing this, his eyes shone even brighter. He genuinely shouted, "Theresa, what can I do?" "Just be part of the count." Calvin was speechless. Theresa led the team further inside. They opened the nearest doors and found a large cache of components. Theresa saw the supplies and immediately started collecting them with Quentin. At the doorway, Calvin saw them casually using space-based abilities. He once again marveled at their strength and professionalism. Their base had space-based users, the largest of which belonged to Clara Kane, whose space was about the size of a hundred houses. Usually, all supplies relied on her. But the volume of these components was hundreds of times larger than the last shipment of beef cans. Theresa's team handled them with ease. Calvin couldn't help but admire them. Their base couldn't even compare by an order of magnitude. The Blazing Sun Alliance is unbelievably strong. Calvin followed them, dazed. When clearing the last few storage rooms, Theresa heard voices."Harrance, this time, we're doomed." "Clara, don't lose hope. Lily will definitely find someone to save us!" "Who can she find? The strongest in our base are all here. Who else can enter and save us? You're not counting on another base, are you? Even if they come, do they have the strength to save us from so many high-level zombies?" After the female voice fell silent for two seconds, it continued, "Harrance, I feel if I don't say this, I'll never have another chance." "Clara, don't—" a low male voice interrupted. "No! I have to say it! Harrance, I like you. I've liked you for fifteen years. I waited for you not to love Lily, hoping you'd notice me. I'm willing to wait forever. "But now, we don't have much time. Zombies could break through any moment. Before I die, I want to be with you, even if it's just for a few days as husband and wife."
