One month later.
April 4, Year 1 of the Apocalypse. Sunday, Qingming Festival.
A light rain fell over Q City today.
Every year on this day, a fine drizzle would fall, inevitably bringing that ancient, long-circulated poem to mind.
Beneath the gloomy sky,
Shen Jin, Yang Ao, Shang Qian, and Li Moxiao each wore black Nano Armor, the green energy sources on their chests gleaming.
When the rain reached them, their electric energy shields automatically kept it out, leaving them dry.
Behind them, Q City's five captains and their team members stood ready.
Today, they had mobilized together again and arrived at the mountain behind Q City Wildlife Park.
This place was anything but ordinary.
A thick smell of blood seeped from a cave entrance. Something horrifying was definitely happening inside.
Or... far too many horrifying things had already happened.
Shen Jin's expression was grave.
"The energy fluctuations inside definitely belong to a Tier 3 Zombie, but there's only one. Its energy intensity is about the same as the T3 Zombie in that million-strong zombie horde. I can't tell what type it is yet, but it's very small, about our size. That's strange..."
The destructive power of a Tier 3 zombie was astonishing.
It absolutely could not be underestimated!
Shen Jin decided to play it safe and personally lead his people into battle. After all, he was a Tier 3 Superhuman himself. Logically, he shouldn't be weaker than a Tier 3 zombie... by much, right?
"To be safe, a hundred of you will eat the new special ability food I distributed and summon with me... Earth Elemental!"
A vast amount of special ability energy radiated from Shen Jin, gathering and fusing in front of him into an earth-yellow Shen Jin with closed eyes.
Sure enough, Tong Zhen covered his face.
