Chapter 286: Similarities ( 2 )
While Li Qixuan continued blasting the zombies with his lightning and blue flame, he recalled the situation during Jin Xuyan’s battle against the mutant.
He was sure that Jin Xuyan dodged the mutant’s attack and counter-attacked it. While the area was shrouded with dust, he could vaguely see that the mutant suddenly disappeared, followed by Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi.
What’s more, Qin Luzi’s words just now were intriguing. If Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi were dead, he shouldn’t have said that their dots disappeared and he couldn’t see them. He should have said that they were killed.
From this point alone, the chance that Jin Xuyan and his girlfriend were still alive was very high. The only question was, what ability did they have for them to be able to disappear in a blink of an eye?
The moment this question popped into his mind, his eyes flickered, recalling someone in the facility with a similar ability to this.
“Could it be that one of them has teleportation ability?” he muttered under his breath.
The more he thought about this possibility, the more he believed it. After all, besides this scenario, he couldn’t think of any scenario where they would suddenly disappear from this place without anyone noticing.
After he reached this conclusion, the corner of his lips turned, and he thought, ‘It seems that it’s not bad to stay with this team. With Jin Xuyan’s power, he should be able to take down the assassins sent by the facility.’
As the battle continued, the red moon slowly descended, and the sun rose on the eastern horizon.
Not long after the red moon was replaced by the bright sun, the zombies’ strength weakened, and their movements were no longer as agile as during the night.
Noticing this, Zhang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Everyone, take turns to rest.”
Just after he said this, he saw a group of cars coming from the other side. Narrowing his eyes, he found that the cars seemed familiar. As the cars grew closer, he finally realized that it was the Eagle team and Xun Che’s team.
When they parked their cars, Zhang Yuan leaped down from the metal wall and walked over.
As Wei Ying and his team came out of the cars, they saw him covered in dust and sweat. Despite his sorry appearance, his eyes were sharp and full of killing intent.
Walking toward him, Wei Ying said, “Old Zhang, we came to help you.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan said, “Thank you for coming. We indeed need others to help cover us up. Most of my team members are exhausted, and we need a rest.”
Wei Ying looked at the metal wall and asked, “How is the situation?”
“The zombie horde is still under control, but a high-level zombie appeared at dawn. My captain and Comrade Jiao Lizhi fought with the zombie, but they disappeared suddenly. At this moment, their situation is unknown,” Zhang Yuan replied.
The moment he said this, the Eagle team members and the soldiers sent by Xun Che to help were shocked. They knew how strong that couple was. If even they were unable to kill the zombie, then the situation would be dangerous.
After a moment of silence, Wei Ying said, “We will find them after we clear out this horde.”
Turning to his team, he said, ���Everyone, prepare for battle.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan turned and said, “Wen Kai, Wen Mo, build a ladder for them.”
“Understood!”
Following the order, a metal ladder was built in less than five minutes.
Looking at the metal ladder glistening under the morning sun, Wei Ying was deep in thought.
While metal-type ability-users could control metal, it was rare for them to be able to create metal out of thin air. At most, the metal-type ability-users could only use the available metal and change their shapes.
Therefore, Wen Kai was a very rare ability-user. Compared to the common metal, his metal also looked different. What he didn’t know was that Wen Kai’s metal was tungsten.
While tungsten has the highest density, it would shatter during impact. So, Wen Mo would use his brother’s metal and combine it with other metals when he created bullets, blades, metal walls, and other things.
What’s more, Wen Mo’s metal-type ability was not only able to control the metals but also detect metal elements. He could detect any metal component in the surroundings, making it easier to collect specific metal elements he needed.
Therefore, without the two of them working together, it was impossible for them to be able to create strong weapons and a hard wall.
Wei Ying only thought for a moment and quickly went to the top of the wall, followed by the soldiers.
The moment he and the soldiers saw the situation on the other side, they were stunned. Some of the soldiers even turned pale and were trembling from fear.
Noticing this, Shen Jinzhe said, “Don’t worry, I will burn the corpses so they won’t be able to climb the wall.” His voice was hoarse due to exhaustion.
After he said this, Chen Zhiyi added, “If they manage to climb, I will cover the wall with ice so they will slip and fall down.”
When he heard this, Shen Jinzhe raised his eyebrows and said, “Brother Chen, your ice will melt due to my fire’s high temperature.”
“Jinzhe, my ice won’t melt so easily,” Chen Zhiyi replied confidently.
While the two of them exchanged words, the blue flame was burning the zombies’ corpses under the wall. Due to this, the temperature of the metal wall was high. Even through the military boots, the soldiers could still feel the heat burning their soles.
Noticing their small movements of moving their feet, Chen Zhiyi placed his hand on the metal wall and covered the top with a layer of thin ice.
While it couldn’t lower the temperature much, it could block part of the heat. What’s more, a thin layer of ice wouldn’t make them slip.
