Du Yuanxing looked at the zombie crowd in front of him, somehow feeling that his team had fallen into a trap. "Zu, open a path!" He shouted at another man. 

"Sure! Watch this!" A man in the backseat responded immediately. He moved to the car window and stuck his head and an arm out. Then, he raised his arm to his shoulder level, toward the zombies before the car. 

After that, the ground before the car started cracking, showed some rifts which were about one or two meters deep. Meanwhile, earth thorns and blocks began rising from under the zombies' feet, instantly tearing the zombie group apart and throwing them to the ground. In the next instant, the rifts were closed, and countless zombies which had fallen down were buried.

Seeing the zombie wall having fallen apart, Cai Hongqing immediately trampled the accelerator and made the car rush forward. Many zombies which were standing on the road, or hadn't managed to struggle up from the ground, were sent flying away by the car. 

Nevertheless, the zombies they killed weren't more than the ones that soon showed up. In two minutes, their car was surrounded again.

Long Qingying knitted her brows, abruptly putting her katana into the leather sheath tied around her waist. Then, she raised her arms to the shoulder level, toward the zombies before and behind the car. 

Soon, the steel thorns she released flew out of the heads of the dead zombies, then gathered around her body again.

She boosted her power, causing more metal objects to fly toward her, as if she had a giant magnetic field in her body that trapped all the surrounding metal objects. 

The metal objects formed a circle two-meters in radius around Long Qingying, then melted and reformed into countless new steel thorns that darted toward the zombie crowd. 

The attacks she launched were all with a large range. She was able to kill tens of ordinary zombies with one strike, then quickly reclaim the metal thorns and attack again. Therefore, the dead bodies of zombies soon piled up around her. 

Seeing Long Qingying easily stopping the zombie crowd which were charging fiercely at the car, the people in the car all sighed in relief. 

At that moment, she stomped her foot against the car roof and said with a cold voice, "This place is controlled either by a level-five zombie leader, or a level-four zombie with spiritual power."

Hearing her words, the people in the car had their hearts sinking. 

Indeed, normal superpowered zombies wouldn't possibly be able to control such a giant zombie group. They had killed one or two hundred ordinary zombies, but were still facing six or seven hundred of them. To make matters worse, more of them had been joining the crowd and charging at them. 

"That seems to be true! If she's right, added with that wind-powered zombie, we might be in trouble this time!" Du Yuanxing scanned every corner in the surrounding with his eyes to try and spot that high-level zombie which had been controlling the zombie crowd, 

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With the roars of the zombies, the noises caused when Long Qingying's steel thorns pierced into zombie heads, and the gunshots fired by the people in the car, this area had turned a little chaotic. 

"Find the zombie which is controlling the crowd first!" Long Qingying shouted to the people in the car. 

"We're trying! But, it's obviously hiding!" Du Yuanxing and his teammates had all been searching carefully for that zombie, but failed to find any zombie which was different from the ordinary ones. 

At that point, the battle had slowly been locked in a stalemate. The zombie was using a huge-crowd strategy. Long Qingying and her teammates weren't falling at a disadvantage so soon, but were showing no sign of winning either, as they were busy dealing with the ordinary zombies. It was a little difficult for them to break out of the encirclement of zombies indeed. 

On the other side, Qiu Lili had been watching all this with cold eyes. She didn't want to kill these human beings, but had no intention of saving them either. She used to be hunted by human beings. She considered herself as extra nice for not taking revenge against human beings, but would never save any of them. 

Therefore, she didn't take part in this battle. As for the nucleus of that disgusting zombie, she wasn't interested in it at all. 

She quietly stood on the tall building beside the battlefield, sensing more and more zombies coming this way. It was going to be a surging tide of zombies. 

The few human beings needed to evacuate now, because they wouldn't be able to kill every zombie in this area, not even if they consumed their powers up. 

Du Yuanxing and his teammates couldn't see what Qiu Lili had seen. All they could see at that moment was a giant group of zombies surrounding them. Those were more than a thousand zombies right there. 

The zombies crowded around them, such that they could only see their heads. This place was like the train station before the Spring Festival in the old world, terrifyingly crowded. 

However, as they had already come all the way here, they surely didn't want return with empty hands. So, they needed to find the two high-level zombies and kill them as soon as possible, then leave with their nuclei. 

Long Qingying was holding off the zombie crowd at the moment, but there were too many zombies. "I can't hold them for long." 

She didn't tell the people in the car what to do, only informing them about her current situation so that they could prepare for what was going to happen next. 

It was the first time for Long Qingying to work with other people. If Du Yuanxing and his teammates hadn't provided her with a good deal of food before the journey began, she wouldn't have agreed to help them. 

Du Yuanxing and his teammates knew that she needed a large amount of food to leave the base, so they sneakily found her and asked her help. 

Looking at the expanding zombie crowd, Du Yuanxing nodded knowingly and said, "Please hold on for a little while. We'll be able to find that zombie soon. If you're tired, you can take a rest and we'll do the job."

"Okay," Long Qingying responded. 

At that point, the big-headed zombie got a little anxious, as it had been so long but the giant zombie crowd still hadn't managed to throw the few human beings into a panic. It suddenly opened its badly cracked mouth and uttered a weird sound. 

Squeak…!

The voice wasn't loud, but it spread far and wide. 

Qiu Lili was standing in the building which wasn't far away from the big-headed zombie. Hearing its voice, she immediately sensed a sharp pain from her brain, and then started feeling sick. 

She frowned, and her vibe was shaken, but didn't spread. 

"Aw?" Nevertheless, the big-headed zombie immediately sensed the strong vibe of Qiu Lili, who was a level-six zombie. But, that vibe was gone before it could grasp it. It looked around in confusion, yet failed to detect that vibe. 

On the other side, Long Qingying and her teammates suffered much worse than Qiu Lili did. They weren't just feeling sick, but had a piercing pain in their heads that made them tremble. Their whole bodies were nearly softened at this point.
