"Can we leave now?"
After the four men stopped operating their powers, Tian Jing asked indifferently.
Seeing that Tian Jing was unmoved, the blond man gave up persuading her. "Yes, I'll have someone escort you out."
"No need."
Tian Jing shook her head and pointed to the hospital bed. "Please call someone to remove the needles for them."
Wang Zaiquan and Shen Wei were bandaged, but their wounds were scratches, not fractures, so they could walk.
As they walked out of the first-floor lobby and saw the monsters in the iron fences on both sides, Shen Wei moved closer to Tian Jing's back.
Tian Jing walked forward with her gaze straight ahead. At the end of the main road, the large iron gate was slowly opening outwards.
However, the gates of the iron fences on both sides were also opened, and the monsters came out, surrounding Tian Jing and the other two.
Tian Jing, while throwing out vines to entangle the nearest monster, asked in feigned exasperation, "Matvey, what do you mean by this?"
"Hahaha."
Matvey laughed arrogantly. "Captain Tian, there's a saying in China: 'You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.' Since you refused our sincere invitation, we can only resort to force."
"Captain Tian, be careful."
Shen Wei rushed over.
Huh?
He looked down at his right hand in horror. The syringe in his hand had pierced a tough, elastic substance that the needle could not penetrate at all.
Tian Jing smiled brightly. "Are you trying to help me with a syringe?"
"I..."
Shen Wei took a step back and turned to stab the syringe at Wang Zaiquan behind him.
Wang Zaiquan was struggling to fight the monsters. When he heard Shen Wei trying to help Captain Tian, his heart felt bitter, but then he heard Captain Tian say that Shen Wei was trying to help with a syringe.
What did she mean?
He didn't have time to think before he saw Shen Wei holding the syringe and stabbing at his shoulder.
After surprise and anger came realization, but it was too late to dodge. Monsters were on his front, back, and left. The only side with a teammate was his right, but...
Finding that the needle tip once again pierced a tough, elastic substance, Shen Wei turned and ran towards the two-story building. However, his body was wrapped by an invisible substance, and he was uncontrollably pulled back to Captain Tian's side.
His eyes were filled with terror...
The expected needle prick did not fall. His outstretched arm was wrapped by an invisible substance. Wang Zaiquan looked joyfully at Captain Tian not far away.
Tian Jing beckoned him, and like Shen Wei, he was uncontrollably pulled to Captain Tian's side.
Tian Jing waved her hands, scattering "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers," and the monsters around her were all entangled.
She led Wang Zaiquan and Shen Wei towards the large iron gate.
The blond man and Matvey were stunned by Tian Jing's actions. By the time they recovered their senses, Tian Jing was already close to the iron gate. The blond man pressed the remote in his hand, and the fully opened iron gate began to slowly close inwards.
Tian Jing pushed Wang Zaiquan, who was on her right, saying, "You go out first."
Wang Zaiquan felt the substance enveloping him disappear. "Captain Tian, let's go together."
"A burden."
Tian Jing uttered these two words coldly, making Wang Zaiquan feel deeply ashamed. He no longer delayed and quickly ran towards the large iron gate. Before the gate closed, he squeezed through sideways. Was he finally out this time?
But Captain Tian, she...
Looking at the fully closed iron gate, Wang Zaiquan hurried up the steps.
As soon as he stepped out of the sandpit, he saw Captain Zeng leading dozens of teammates standing in the barren woods. Outside the barren woods were dozens of special forces members.
"Captain!"
He ran excitedly towards the barren woods. "Quick, Captain Tian is trapped inside."
Zeng Jingrong nodded calmly and asked, "Where is Shen Wei?"
...
Inside the Iron Town, after the iron gate closed, the blond man shouted at Tian Jing, who was once again surrounded by monsters, "Captain Tian, let's cooperate."
"Impossible," Tian Jing shook her head and continued to scatter "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers."
The blond man switched to another remote control. "Then I'll find more opponents for Captain Tian."
Rumble!
In the open space behind the iron fence, the ground split open, and several glass houses rose from within. In the glass rooms were the zombies Tian Jing had seen earlier.
The blond man waved the remote control in his hand. "Captain Tian, there is a zombie king in each glass room, ranging from level six to nine. Which room do you choose?"
"I choose all of them. Let's finish this quickly."
Tian Jing looked at the monsters behind her. Because the monsters in front were trapped by her "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers," the ones behind couldn't get through and were very restless.
Now, with the zombies released, it was exactly the situation she wanted – to take them all down at once.
Tian Jing's confidence made the blond man hesitate. He looked at Matvey beside him and asked, "Are you sure she hasn't reached level nine?"
"Uncertain."
Matvey shook his head. "Their leveling up is indeed slow, and because their power levels cannot be revealed, no one knows what level she is."
"Our bodies can't wait any longer. I still don't trust that batch of ten thousand antidotes. We must make her cooperate with us."
"You were also very interested in the dungeon and the maze, weren't you? I heard they only appeared after she joined the special forces."
The blond man looked at Shen Wei beside Tian Jing and asked, "Is this credible?"
"Of course."
Matvey nodded. "He is my illegitimate son. To make his mother my legal wife, he is willing to do anything."
"Good."
The blond man pressed the remote control in his hand and laughed. "Captain Tian, let me fulfill you."
The doors of several glass rooms were opened, and thousands of zombies walked out.
The blond man waved his hand. "Close the door."
Matvey looked at Shen Wei by the large iron gate at the end of the main road. After a moment of hesitation, he personally closed the door of the building.
Looking at the dense horde of zombies, Tian Jing's lips curved into a smile, and she fully unleashed her powers.
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!
Level seven, level eight, level nine...
Tian Jing's powers were fully unleashed, and the unconscious zombies paused.
The blond man inside the building looked outside in horror, for he felt a fear from his soul.
This shouldn't be happening.
Even if the woman outside had reached the highest level, she shouldn't have been able to bring him soul-level fear.
...
Outside in the barren woods, after Wang Zaiquan had reported Shen Wei's actions to his captain, he felt a sudden pang.
Zeng Jingrong felt the same way. He looked up at the gathering dark clouds in the sky and waved to his teammates. "Retreat, scatter and retreat."
The special forces team members were confused. Weren't they going to save Captain Tian?
The captain of the special forces also looked up at the dark clouds in the sky. Was it going to rain?
Was that possible?
Even in the desert, it could rain. Even in the devil's desert on this plateau continent, there was a possibility of rain. Could it be such a coincidence that they encountered it?
Hearing Captain Zeng shout to retreat, he frowned. No matter how bad the weather, it shouldn't interrupt the mission. He had heard that the special forces were undisciplined, and now it seemed the rumors were true.
Zeng Jingrong retreated to his side. "Do you feel anything?"
The special forces captain shook his head.
Zeng Jingrong was certain. This was caused by Tian Tian unleashing her power levels.
"You take your team back two hundred meters, and our team back five hundred meters. Tell your men not to get too close to us."
Although the special forces captain didn't understand what Zeng Jingrong was doing, he was the secondary commander for this mission, so he could only comply.
As the two teams in the barren woods rapidly retreated, the dark clouds in the sky grew thicker, and the entire sky seemed to be pressed down by something.
The sky completely darkened.
The special forces captain stared in shock at the sky filled with dark clouds. With such gloomy weather, was it going to rain heavily?
