The woman looked cold and expressionless. Her eyes were fixed straight on the rear of the car, without showing any emotions. She didn’t even seem to be alert or careful; she had been making completely no response to the changes in the surrounding environment.

This cold-faced woman had been giving out a strong vibe, and a sharp katana was placed on her knees.

In contrast, the people sitting in the car were all men.

It didn’t seem right for a group of men to let a woman sit on the car roof alone. However, no one in the car was able to defeat that woman. So, they stayed silent and let her sit on top of the car as she wanted.

“The tornado created by that wind-powered zombie was highly destructive. And, it’s reaching level-five. Are we really gonna get it this time? So many people died the last time, but we still failed,” someone in the car said.

“What are you afraid of? Didn’t we find a level-five metal-powered fighter this time? And, there are so many of us. How can we possibly fail to kill a level-four superpowered zombie? I’m afraid that other people would get it before us if we don’t do it as soon as possible.”

“You’re right! The secret has leaked out. The others have found out that a level-four superpowered zombie is in this area. If we don’t move faster, it won’t be our fight anymore.”

“It’s because of that b*stard. For a bag of bread, he actually told some other people about what happened the last time. If he was not following Deputy Chief every day, I’d have tortured him to death.”

“Be patient, you’ll get a chance! But, the first priority now is to get the zombie nucleus. A level-four zombie nucleus and a dozen level-three ones can get us a good deal of food and weapon, which will last a month.”

“And quilts! Damn, it’s been freezing at night lately! I can’t even have a warm bed to sleep in at home.”

“Yeah, Chief Netherworld Fire had burned a big half of the base. Who dares to get near that area now? And that son of a b*tch named Yang Jianhua, he actually stabbed our Chief in the back. Such a scum!”

“Exactly! If our Chief didn’t take us all into the base and give us protection, how could we have possibly survived till now? I really didn’t think that Yang Jianhua would be bought by other bases and would betray us! Because of him, we can’t even live a peaceful life in the base anymore.”

“I heard that Yang Jianghua is hunting the Captain and his people. He wants to get Cheng Wangxue and Lin Wenwen back to be his women.”

“I hope Captain and his families won’t fall in his hands soon. Yang Jianhua is a level-six powerful man. Captain might have had a chance against him, but I heard that Yang Jianhua is with another level-six superpowered man, who has come from the Earth Dragon Base to help him.”

The men in the car were talking about the things that happened in their base resentfully. However, they didn’t know that when they mentioned Lin Wenwen, the woman on the car roof showed something in her eyes.

That was a look of concern.

Before long, the car was driving into the wind-powered female zombie’s territory. A group of zombies followed behind the car, reaching their hands out while shambling toward it. However, these zombies weren’t as fast as the car. Only a few at level one or two ran slightly faster than the others, but still didn’t have a chance to get near the car.

Everyone in the car had a loaded gun gripped in their hands. They put the guns out of the window to prepare for an emergency. Therefore, each time a zombie tried to approach, their bullets would sink into its head.

They looked out of the car windows in full vigilance while the car slowly moved toward Qiu Lili, getting closer and closer to her.

Qiu Lili’s eyes sparkled, showing a trace of fear. Then, she disappeared from where she was, quietly hiding in a nearby building. She stood by a window on the top floor, looking down at the ground.

What she had experienced before made her instinctively want to hide on seeing human beings approach. She was powerful now, but still wasn’t willing to hurt human beings. Even though human beings had hurt her before, she never thought about taking revenge.

While driving further into the wind-powered female zombi’s territory, the people in the car suddenly found something unusual.

“Eh? Why are those ordinary zombies able to get in? Earlier on, they didn’t dare to come near this area. But this time, they didn’t even stop, just chasing us in. Why’s that?” Du Yuanxing, who sat in the front seat, said with confusion as he saw the large group of ordinary zombies behind the car from the rearview mirror.

The others in the car turned back and found that the group of zombie really showed no sign of stopping, but continued following behind their car.

Some of them had been here before, while the rest were here to help. The few who were here for the first time didn’t yet know well about the situation of this area.

In crowded places like city centers, the number of zombies was naturally proportional to the number of people before the old world ended. However, when Du Yuanxing and his teammates came here for the first time, they found not even one zombie. Therefore, they figured out that they had entered the territory of a high-level zombie.

Last time, they came with twelve people. After being attacked by the level-four zombie with a tornado, the weak and ordinary ones died right on the spot. At last, only four or five superpowered ones managed to escape, including Du Yuanxing.

A level-five superpowered human being was a level higher than a level-four zombie. However, the zombie they were looking for was at the top of the level-four, and was just a breath away from level-five. Therefore, Du Yuanxing’s team, which had only one level-five superpowered zombie hunter, at that time, was no match for the level-four wind-powered zombie.

This time, they found another level-five superpowered fighter to join their team, paying a high price for that service.

Currently, level-five superpowered people were considered very strong in the bases of human survivors, and mostly possessed high status. Normally, they had their own squads or official positions. But still, some of them preferred to stay alone and independent, such as the one on the car roof.

The woman on the car roof was named Long Qingying. She was a woman, but was famous in the Hades Base for her strength. She was indifferent, never liking to be with others. She was always alone, and hardly ever teamed up with other people when she came out of the base.

She had no family. The only person who was close with her was Lin Wenwen, the younger sister of Chief Netherworld Fire.

It was said that Long Qingying had given Lin Wenwen and her family a great help, so they could escape successfully. For this reason, a lot of people from the base now wanted to bring her troubles. That was why she came out to hunt zombies; out here, she could at least hide for a while.

Besides, being out here was not bad for Long Qingying. If the people from her base weren’t going to leave her alone, she would consider moving to the Sea City Base.

At the moment, she was planning on collecting as much food as possible, to prepare for what was going to happen next.
