Chang Wei had anticipated this, and without changing his expression, he conjured a fireball out of thin air, which landed on the zombie that couldn't dodge in time, instantly igniting a raging fire.
Chang Wei's small flame might not be effective against a strength-type zombie, but against a speed-type zombie with weak defenses, a small fireball would be enough to incinerate it.
After dealing with the zombies, Chang Wei vaguely sensed something was wrong. He had killed so many zombies, yet he hadn't leveled up yet.
Even if all three systems require energy, it shouldn't be this difficult to advance.
Chang Wei noticed that the energy that had just entered his body was being absorbed by the black hole within him. Then, two more streams of energy flowed into his body and the acupoints that controlled the flames, but he felt that there was much less energy than when it first entered.
Chang Wei didn't have time to delve deeper. Although his fireball had relieved some of the pressure on Yoko's side, the situation was still dire. He could only compose himself and quickly share the burden.
Meanwhile, Sato and Ada Wong worked together and quickly dealt with the zombie.
Then, a glint flashed in Ada Wong's eyes, and her body seemed to grow even stronger. With a slam of her staff, the air vibrated, and several zombies around her were instantly thrown into the air like straws, their bodies severed in two.
"Ada Wong, you've broken through!"
Sato looked at Ada Wong in surprise.
"Hehe, lucky me, I was just a little bit short of energy, and this zombie was the last straw."
Ada Wong smiled, her previous fatigue seemingly vanished, and she appeared refreshed.
With a casual glance, all of Ada Wong's data came to mind.
"Innate Evolver: Strength-type Evolver!"
Level: Three!
Skill: Power Burst (Increases strength by 30% for a short time!)
"Strength: 5.5"
Speed: 2.0
"Spiritual Power: 1.5"
"Evaluation: This is a small step on the path of power. You must know that when power reaches its peak, a fist can split mountains, shatter seas, and destroy the sky!"
Chang Wei's eyes narrowed when he saw Ada Wong's promotion.
Ada Wong's power has now surpassed her own, and if she were to use her powers, she would be close to the strength of seven people—a terrifying number.
However, Chang Wei didn't care. He could kill Ada Wong with speed alone, since his evolution was comprehensive, unlike them who could only specialize in one aspect.
Ada Wong's breakthrough greatly boosted morale, and everyone worked together to eliminate the remaining zombies.
With Chang Wei's assistance, no one was injured, but they were exhausted, especially the two girls, who were so tired that they could barely lift their weapons.
Seeing the corpses scattered all over the ground and the horde of zombies gathering again, Chang Wei and the others dared not linger. They immediately jumped into the car and sped along the route they had in mind.
"Boom!"
The roar of engines continued as Chang Wei and the others followed the route he pointed out, choosing secluded alleys where there were fewer zombies.
Unfortunately, they had to stop the car after traveling less than 500 meters and carefully got out because a huge horde of corpses appeared in front of them. They estimated there were tens of thousands of them, densely packed and seemingly endless, like a black river that completely blocked their way.
"Find another way immediately, and under no circumstances should you alert them!"
Chang Wei's expression changed, and he was shocked.
The group removed their weapons and some food, parked the car in a secluded corner, and covered it with a tarpaulin.
Chang Wei wanted to have Wo Aiqingyuan's family find a safe place to wait for them, but they firmly disagreed, so Chang Wei had no choice but to continue leading everyone forward.
Following their memories, the group continued to try various routes to move forward.
As they walked through a narrow alley, they faintly heard the sounds of a struggle...
It seems to be nearby; I can even hear the distinctive roars of zombies.
"Could it be that a survivor has been discovered by the zombies?!"
A thought flashed through Chang Wei's mind, but he and his group were barely able to protect themselves, and he really had no mood to care about others.
As they continued walking, the sound became clearer and clearer. Chang Wei and the others looked rather grim. They had been trying their best to avoid trouble, but unexpectedly, trouble came knocking on their door.
The only way to get to Jingyuan Garden is through this alley; all other roads are occupied by hordes of zombies and are completely impassable. Now they have no choice but to grit their teeth and continue forward.
"Swish"
As I slowly walked out of the alley, the view suddenly opened up, and on the road ahead, a group of zombies surrounded a group of people dressed in formal attire.
Dozens of bodyguards in black and people in SWAT uniforms were constantly fighting the zombies with weapons such as machetes, baseball bats, and fire axes.
What surprised Chang Wei most was that most of the people under heavy protection were faces he often saw on television.
185 experts from all sides
"puff"
"what!"
The sound of axes slicing into flesh rang out, and screams came from the group of bodyguards in black. Occasionally, special police officers would be scratched or bitten by some special zombies, but they were all desperately trying to stop these terrifying zombies and didn't care about their own wounds.
"This, isn't this Secretary Fujiwara? And Mayor Nohara, Director Hime, the CEO of Vanke Group, the CEO of Oda Group..."
At a glance, everyone recognized several people who frequently appear on television.
"So many important leaders of Yokohama are here, my God, they're trapped too! This is insane!"
Following behind, Wo Aiqingyuan's expression changed drastically; he couldn't believe it.
"Oh no, they seem to be unable to hold on. If so many high-ranking officials perish, the consequences will be too severe!"
"We can barely take care of ourselves, how can we care about others?"
Chang Wei glanced at Wo Aiqingyuan, somewhat helpless.
These people in front of me are all high-ranking officials in Yokohama City, who control the city's political and economic lifeline.
He knew that the man leading the group was Fujiwara Jun, the municipal party secretary, a good official who could do practical things for the people.
But now they are struggling to take care of themselves, so how can they possibly save them?
Moreover, looking at the dense horde of zombies in front of me, and not knowing how many special zombies there were, I really didn't know how to save them.
Chang Wei understood that once he made his move, it was uncertain how many of his men would survive.
Yokohama has become a living hell, with countless people turning into zombies and only a handful of survivors remaining. Each person is like a drowning person, desperately grasping at a straw.
Those with the strength to evolve might be lucky enough to escape, while ordinary people can only sit and wait for death, barely clinging to life, hoping for a miracle.
There are also some special individuals who can make powerful evolved beings willingly serve as their bodyguards. These are all figures who wield great power, and before the apocalypse, their actions could influence the economic fabric of the entire city.
Fujiwara Jun was such a person. As the Party Secretary of Yokohama City and the highest leader of Yokohama City, he was arguably the most important figure in Yokohama City.
After the apocalypse broke out, he acted decisively and took various measures to try to stop it. He personally took to the streets and did not flee Yokohama, deciding to live and die with the city.
Unfortunately, the apocalypse came too suddenly, and even law enforcement agencies and armed forces fell one after another. He struggled to hold on for a few days, but in the end, it was too late to turn the tide. At the urging of the crowd, he had no choice but to leave the city.
Unfortunately, after a few days, the zombies evolved at an unimaginable speed, becoming increasingly terrifying.
Fortunately, many evolved individuals with special powers suddenly appeared around him, who could fight against those terrifying zombies and mutated beasts, allowing him to command the overall situation with peace of mind.
Now, Yokohama's leaders, including him, are trapped on this road. The road out of the city is right ahead, but it is blocked by countless zombies.
They had run out of ammunition and suffered heavy casualties. Although the armed police, special police, and bodyguards from various groups tried their best to fight their way out, the number of zombies was increasing and they themselves were almost desperate.
"Sigh, Mr. Wang, it seems we really have to live and die with Yokohama this time."
Fujiwara Jun looked at the man in his forties beside him with a wry smile. His suit was torn in several places, and his weathered face was sharply defined, yet he appeared unusually calm.
He is Yokohama Mayor Rikage Onoshita, the second-in-command of Yokohama. He is known for his decisive and efficient work style and is privately called "Rikage-shin" to describe his work style and efficiency.
He abhorred corruption and showed no mercy once it was verified. He and Fujiwara Jun were known as the two heroes of Yokohama, one firm and the other gentle, and they governed Yokohama so well that the economy and people's livelihoods flourished.
The man's expression remained unchanged after hearing Fujiwara's words:
"If this is fate, I have nothing to complain about. It's just a pity for these ordinary people and those who are still struggling in the city."
As he spoke, a hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes, as if he felt sorrow for the plight of ordinary people.
"The disaster came so suddenly, no one expected it, and there was nothing we could do about it. I just hate myself for being powerless to save them, for failing to live up to my duty as an official!" Fujiwara Jun's face showed a complicated expression as he looked at the dwindling number of guards around him and couldn't help but look in other directions.
"Chairman, we can't hold on much longer! We must find another way to break through, or none of us will escape!"
On the other side, a group of middle-aged men in suits and some women and children formed a circle, with bodyguards protecting them.
A bodyguard covered in blood rushed in, shouted at the person in the middle, and then gushed out two mouthfuls of black blood before collapsing, his body convulsing.
"Mr. Yu, what do we do? The number of zombies is increasing, we really can't hold on any longer. If we don't find a solution soon, we'll all die here!"
A fat man with a large belly anxiously shouted to General Manager Yu in the crowd.
Yukishita Sou, Tanaka Fuki, is the chairman of the Oda Group in Yokohama City. He controls the entire steel industry in Yokohama City, with assets approaching 100 billion yen. He is undoubtedly the richest man in Yokohama City and a well-known figure throughout the country.
Trapped here at this moment, although the situation is critical, there is no panic on his face, because he knows that the more urgent the situation, the more he needs to stay calm. Only by staying calm can he find a way to survive. So he looked up at an old man next to him.
"Tokugawa Nakamaro, what do you think?"
The old man looked to be in his sixties, but he was in good spirits. He was wearing a kimono and holding prayer beads in his hand. Although he was a little tired, he had an imposing presence just by standing there, which clearly indicated that he was an extraordinary person.
The old man's name is Tokugawa Nagashi, the chairman of Vanke Group, which controls the restaurant and hotel industry in Yokohama.
Even though the chain hotels are all over the country, and they no longer have any influence, in Yokohama, even the city's party secretary has to give them some face.
