Under the thick fog, the T34 Outpost became a hell on earth as the Black Flood Dragon convoy was annihilated, their screams mingling with those of the zombies and monsters.

The zombie tide, armed conflict, and rebellion created utter chaos, turning the unprepared convoys into headless flies, instantly swallowed by the zombie horde and bullets.

Fatty and his subordinates didn't linger. After wiping out the remaining forces of the Black Flood Dragon convoy, they directly seized Qian Yu's heavy-duty truck. His men also occupied several supply vehicles, and combined with their original convoy, they gunned their engines and charged out of the zombie horde.

Feng Yuming had transformed into his half-insect monster form, exuding an endless malevolence. He strode forward, picked up Qian Yu's pistol, and with two shots, casually killed two fleeing survivors before heading towards the platform.

Tang Hai, standing on the platform and seeing his men gaining the upper hand, couldn't relax. His expression suddenly changed drastically as he pointed towards the courtyard and shouted, "Careful, it's that Mist Spider!"

As soon as he spoke, the zombies in front of a few survivors who were desperately resisting suddenly cleared. Before they could react, a giant spider appeared in the mist under the lights, and then a skyscraper-sized sharp claw descended from above!

Squelch!

In an instant, two survivors were impaled through the chest.

"Ah!!"

"Run!"

Screams of terror erupted everywhere.

Tang Hai's face turned pale with fear. He scrambled onto the carriage of the freight train engine and yelled to his subordinates, "Yuming, quickly, everyone get on board, we're preparing to depart!"

Rat-tat-tat! Rat-tat-tat!

Vroom!

From within the zombie tide, a pickup truck suddenly charged out, heading towards the railway tracks from the slope, seemingly intending to escape along the tracks.

"Take them down!"

Tang Hai's expression changed upon seeing this, and he roared.

At this moment, a dark shadow lunged out, slamming into the side of the pickup truck. Boom! The immense force sent the modified pickup truck out of control, flipping it over!

"Ah!!"

Shasha screamed. In a flash, Lou Ye hugged his sister, opened the car door, and they tumbled out, while their vehicle rolled down the slope.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Feng Yuming emerged from the mist again, a sneer on his face, and thrust his sharp claw towards Lou Ye.

Unexpectedly, Lou Ye suddenly stood up, grabbed his insect claw, and with a muffled grunt, threw Feng Yuming forward!

Rat-tat-tat!

Another burst of gunfire. Lou Ye immediately lunged towards Shasha on the ground, but his shoulder was pierced by a stray bullet.

"Brother!"

Shasha cried out with red eyes, immediately getting up to grab a gun and retaliate.

But Lou Ye had no time to cry out in pain. He hugged Shasha tightly and, braving the hail of bullets, prepared to charge down the slope. Below, there were almost no survivors left, only the dense zombie tide surging like a flood!!!

Feng Yuming's gunmen also retreated towards the platform, firing wildly as if bullets were free.

"Such strength, but still a low-level brute!"

An arrogant cold shout, and a black thorn shot out from the mist. Lou Ye, unable to dodge, raised his hand to block.

Squelch!

The black thorn pierced his arm. Under the immense impact, Lou Ye didn't even grunt. He spun around and kicked towards the black mist, the force of his kick even creating a whistling sound!

Bang!

It was like hitting a wall. Feng Yuming slowly walked out. Lou Ye's full-power kick was caught by him! And he used his unmutated hand!

He smiled disdainfully, "Idiots like you, all brawn and no brain, probably don't know that killing ability users and eerie horrors grants evolution. What a pity... you won't get the chance."

Feng Yuming pulled back the black thorn, his wrist flicked, and a red light appeared on the thorn.

"Die!"

"Brother! Be careful!" Lou Shasha cried out tragically.

Bang!

At this moment, Feng Yuming seemed to sense a chill and tilted his head slightly. The next instant, his left ear exploded, blood splattering half his face, making him look even more chilling and terrifying.

But he acted as if nothing had happened, snorted coldly, and disappeared back into the black mist.

Puff puff puff!

Suddenly, several wind guns attacked from behind the platform, and several of Tang Hai's gunmen, who hadn't reacted, fell to the ground.

"Watch out behind!!"

Tang Hai shouted, and all the gunmen immediately scrambled into the train carriages for cover.

Searchlights swept through the fog. Lou Shasha, who had reacted, looked at the surging zombie tide below and the giant monstrous spider in the sky. Wiping away a tear, she quickly pulled her brother Lou Ye and said, "Brother, let's go!"

Behind a bluestone on the platform, Lin Xian was covered in a cold sweat of exhaustion, panting heavily. The Mechanical Heart had been running at full capacity for nearly 9 hours, completely draining his energy.

"I knew you two were hiding somewhere. Heh, thinking you could profit from this, you really think having abilities makes you so great?"

Feng Yuming appeared like a ghost, his voice seeming to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. The next moment, Lin Xian felt a cold wind sweep through the mist ahead and instinctively unleashed a Wind Gun in that direction.

Bang!

It sounded like hitting metal. Lin Xian's pupils contracted, and he immediately leaped away.

At that moment, Feng Yuming also burst out, striking the bluestone Lin Xian had just been hiding behind with a claw. He shattered the thick bluestone along with his attack.

His offensive didn't cease; he quickly lunged towards where Lin Xian had dodged.

"Interesting. Physical combat and ranged abilities? This is the first time I've seen such a strange power."

Lin Xian felt like he was facing a great enemy. Hearing Feng Yuming's words, he felt a chill.

This guy has definitely killed more than one ability user. He's been hiding his true strength all along. It looks like this uncle and nephew duo have been involved in plenty of robbery and murder!

Whoosh!

A tearing sound echoed as a spider leg, covered in downy fur, suddenly descended from the sky, forcing both Lin Xian and Feng Yuming to retreat.

Dada-da! At the same time, Tang Hai's gunmen also began their assault, some firing at the Mist Spider, while others aimed at Lin Xian.

Lin Xian was attacked from three sides and had no time to react. He rolled on the spot and leaped off the platform, scrambling under the train.

Feng Yuming watched Lin Xian's movements, noticing how incredibly weak he looked. With a sinister grin, he quickly followed. Meanwhile, the two spikes on his head twitched, as if wary of something.

"What about that little girl? If you don't come out now, you won't get another chance!"

So Feng Yuming had been guarding against Kiki's attack all along. Lin Xian's heart tightened. This guy's ability level and combat experience were far beyond his expectations!

With the zombie tide approaching and the Mist Spider in the air, Feng Yuming knew the situation was about to spiral out of control. He stopped probing and shot forward. His black claws suddenly elongated, aiming for Lin Xian under the train, preparing for a fatal blow.

"Are you looking for me?!"

Just then, a light, ethereal voice rang out. Feng Yuming, who had been fully committed to his attack, snapped his gaze towards the sound. He knew how dangerous Kiki was and immediately stopped his movement, instinctively flashing to the side.

But the attack he expected didn't come. Feng Yuming and Tang Hai followed the sound with their eyes, only to see the searchlight of the 1130 CIWS on the air-raid shelter fortress suddenly illuminate. Woo~! A hidden motor whirred as the gun mount base rotated precisely. The muzzles of 11 30mm cannons carried a hellish aura, while the fire control radar and optoelectronic sight activated simultaneously...

This anti-air weapon, dormant for so long, had quietly awakened!
