As the net touched the zombies below, they were roasted and dried up in less than a few seconds. At the same time, the lightning net continued to expand, creating a safety area of two hundred square meters.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
After the zombies below them were taken care of, the members landed one after another.
The moment Wen Kai and Wen Mo landed on the ground, they clasped their hands and built two five-meter-high metal walls, blocking the zombies from the front and behind. With the buildings blocking the sides, they had now created a safe zone within the walls.
Li Sikai waved his hand and turned the lightning net into countless lightning balls. Bending his knees, he leaped up and stood on top of the metal wall. Looking at the zombies chasing after the group of ability-users, he threw the lightning balls at them.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of explosions echoed through the area as the lightning balls exploded upon contact. As several groups of zombies were killed, the explosive force sent the group of ability-users flying forward.
Before they hit the ground, Zhou Huajian waved his hand and several vines shot out from his palms, moving toward them at a fast speed.
Wush~ Wush~ Wush~
Two seconds later, the vines wrapped around the ability-users’ waists, and with a flick of his palms, the vines retracted, pulling them up to the metal wall. With another flick of his palms, Zhou Huajian tied up the group with his vines.
Since they didn’t know the background of these people or what their motives were for luring the zombies into this place, it was better to be safe and interrogate them later.
The group of ability-users thought they were doomed this time. But when they thought they would be torn apart by the zombies, they saw a metal wall suddenly appear and a group of people standing on top of it.
Now that they had finally escaped the clutches of death, they heaved a sigh of relief. Even though they were tied up, they didn’t feel angry at all. After all, they had won the bet and survived the ordeal.
The next moment, Jin Xuyan and the Phantom team members leaped from the wall and met the zombies head-on, leaving only the new members and Yu Fuyun to kill the zombies from the top of the wall.
When the group of ability-users saw this, their eyes widened in shock. "These people... they are crazy!" one of them muttered in disbelief.
Hearing his words, Yu Fuyun pulled his rifle’s trigger while replying, "Just a group of zombies. What’s there to be scared of?"
Standing beside him, Chen Wenwu glanced at him and asked, "Brother Fuyun, why don’t you join the team?"
After killing several zombies, Yu Fuyun let out a sigh and said, "With those people and you all, there has to be someone staying behind to keep an eye on the situation. My reaction was too slow just now."
The new members’ faces crunched up when they heard his words. Suddenly, they felt as if they were burdens and that Yu Fuyun was forced to become their babysitter.
"Sorry to bother you, Brother Fuyun," Su Ruanyi said.
Sensing that she was upset, Yu Fuyun chuckled and replied, "When I first joined the team, I also started at the same point as you. It was Brother Sikai and Brother Qin who protected me."
"Everyone starts at the same point, so don’t overthink things. Just focus on training your ability. Remember that everyone is unique in their own way. You don’t have to follow other people’s way of using their abilities."
"Find the most comfortable way for yourself. The Captain said before that as an ability-user, the one limiting our progress is ourselves. Let your imagination fly freely. One day, you will find the best combat style for yourself," he added meaningfully.
What made the Phantom team strong was not their members’ ability levels, but their uniqueness in using their abilities. Not to mention their high tacit understanding and great teamwork, just the way they combined their abilities to increase attack power was something not easily copied by others.
Besides the new members, even the group of ability-users tied up nearby were stunned by his words.
They had always thought that the way they used their abilities was the right way. After all, every ability-user they met used their abilities in the same way.
A fire-type ability-user would use fireballs to kill zombies, and the strength of the ability-user would be determined by how big the fireballs were and how many were needed to kill a zombie.
A water-type ability-user would only serve as a water source for the team without any fighting power. Similarly, a space-type ability-user would only serve as mobile storage.
Both of these abilities were treated as auxiliary types, so not many mercenary teams wanted to recruit those kinds of ability-users.
While they were lost in thought, they suddenly saw Chen Qianfeng in the distance pointing his fingers at the zombies. The next moment, several water bullets flew from his fingertips and hit the zombies’ foreheads.
Even though they couldn’t hear the cracking sound of skulls being pierced, they could see the black blood and rotten brains spurting out of their heads as the zombies fell to the ground.
At this moment, Chen Qianfeng didn’t know that a group of people were staring at him. He was busy killing the surrounding zombies.
With his right hand swinging the blade to behead the zombies, his left hand controlled several water bullets to pierce the rotten skulls. Although this fighting style consumed more stamina than before, it saved him a lot of his ability’s energy.
Not far from him, Jin Xuyan observed the members’ fighting styles, gave instructions, and pointed out their weaknesses while killing the zombies that slipped through their defenses.
While everyone else trembled at the sight of the zombie horde, the Phantom team treated it as a training session.
