A feeling of heaviness lingered in his heart as he finished his meal. The girl before him was clearly a good person, yet her circumstances seemed to have plunged her into a grave of despair, filled only with death and sorrow. There was no glimmer of hope for a better life ahead. What a tragic existence it was! Zheng Yifan could hardly imagine how he would cope if he found himself in such a situation.
However, the sadness did not last long, as Zheng Yifan soon witnessed the girl’s remarkable strength.
The power possessed by a Fourth-Stage Esper was beyond what an ordinary person could compare to, and the girl showcased her abilities.
After they had eaten their fill, the group made their way to the Factory Area to begin the demolition work, each person eager to practice their Superpowers. Only Li Ning and Zheng Yifan refrained from participating. Li Ning still felt some reluctance; primarily, he lacked his weapons and could only use an ordinary spear, which left him feeling insecure about his abilities.
As for Zheng Yifan, there was no need for him to demonstrate his skills. His combat prowess had already surpassed that of ordinary people; he was on an entirely different level. Even if he displayed his strength, few would be able to comprehend it.
That was the limit of another kind of power.
Only the girl’s Superpower caught Zheng Yifan’s attention; everyone else seemed quite ordinary, or perhaps he had simply seen enough to grow accustomed to it. The girl wielded no weapons at all.
It seemed she could not use any weapons temporarily because her Superpower was simply too peculiar.
With delicate fingers, she lightly brushed against the rough wall surface. The bloodstains and the already weathered wall began to tremble violently.
This was not an ordinary shake; it was a wild surge of Vital Energy, fully unleashed. The intense vibrations were accompanied by occasional explosive sounds that instilled fear in those nearby.
The ground began to crack with fine fissures.
Yet that was not the main point. The most bizarre aspect was the sound emanating from the entire building, resembling the final groans of a dying old man—so fragile and pitiful.
Like a long sigh, the entire structure instantly turned to ash, leaving no trace behind. The soil and stones on the ground transformed into dust that floated in the air.
Even the air rippled with waves. Only An Xiaolu gently clapped her hands together, causing the dust to slowly retreat.
"I can only do this much!" The girl's gentle and quiet voice was like a bowl of cool tea on a summer day, yet her terrifying combat power made Zheng Yifan see her in a new light.
This could easily develop into another formidable force for the Hope Gathering Place. What Zheng Yifan valued most was not her combat strength during her explosive moments, but rather the effect after she finished everything—gently clapping her hands and tossing away a clump of dirt. In just one second, that ordinary dirt, which had picked up a piece of metal from the ground, transformed. The metal piece turned into iron powder and then disintegrated into the most basic molecules. Nothing remained.
Powerful! Even the strong Zheng Yifan felt a chill run down his spine. What would she be like if she reached the Fifth Level?
"Well done! Your combat ability is quite impressive. On behalf of the Hope Gathering Place, I welcome you to join us. By the way, are you interested in joining the Guard Camp? That's where my guards stay; they are all warriors from the Guard Camp, possessing formidable combat skills and equipped with the best weapons in the Gathering Place. They also enjoy the best treatment in the world." Zheng Yifan spoke with great confidence; if the treatment at the Hope Gathering Place wasn't good, then no other place could compare.
Having always been in a completely pressure-free environment, everyone’s living conditions had greatly improved, and combat had reached a stable period. Only when the Hope Gathering Place expanded again or underwent significant changes would another possibility arise.
Zheng Yifan had high hopes for her superpower; there were countless ways to enhance his combat strength within the Hope Gathering Place.
"Can I... really?" The girl asked timidly. She knew her combat power was strong during battles, but that was only against a small number of zombies. Looking at these people before her and considering their impending challenge against Deep City made her heart uneasy.
That city had a population of over a hundred million, which meant there were naturally over a hundred million zombies inside. A large number of zombies would become a nightmare.
"Of course you can! Give yourself some confidence. What you lack are weapons and combat skills; you can completely discard your past battle experiences and adapt to new fighting techniques while fully utilizing your superpower. It seems you rarely had real opportunities to charge forward in previous battles!" Zheng Yifan said with a smile as he looked at the girl beside him.
An Xiaolu's calm nature seemed somewhat ill-suited to Zheng Yifan and their directness or desire for battle. The glory of the Hope Gathering Place was built upon countless battles; without those battles, there would be no current Hope Gathering Place.
Zheng Yifan's words pierced her heart, prompting her to grit her teeth and nod in agreement.
A gentle nod felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
From that moment on, her days were destined to be anything but ordinary.
After agreeing, Li Ning began distributing her supplies and tents. Being a girl, she naturally gained a significant advantage, securing a tent for herself—an individual tent, which was quite a rare privilege.
A night passed without incident, and the girl finally enjoyed a genuine sleep. By the time the sun was high in the sky the next morning, the entire team had already appeared a few kilometers away from Deep City. Everyone unloaded their gear, preparing to enter Deep City.
Standing here, one could already sense the threat of zombies. However, the zombies in Deep City were not like those in other places that roamed freely; they were almost entirely coiled up within the city itself. They scavenged there, searching for surviving humans, and even wild beasts dared not tread here. It was a complete human Restricted Area, a biological Restricted Area.
It was feared that only those humans who had not escaped were hiding and struggling to survive in the sewers or some other places, unaware of when they might meet their end.
In the distance, the highway was already piled with cars, and bloodstains remained on the ground, yet there were no signs of zombies. The sky seemed to be covered with dark clouds; thunderclouds and lightning hung heavily in the air as if they were tangible, but ultimately they would not descend.
The power hidden there had reached an intensity beyond human comprehension.
All this power originated from the sea; above the ocean lay boundless strength.
Deep City was merely by the seaside but had already been affected.
Taking that first step into this place was destined to be a bloody storm; without killing intent, one could not establish themselves in this terrifying city. Let alone obtain supplies.
The goal seemed to have become distant. (To be continued...)
