“`
Boom!
A fireball slammed into the ground at the feet of Zhang Wu and the others, scaring them to retreat several steps.
“Who is it?!”
Zhang Wu looked in the direction the fireball had come from; it had been thrown from behind the group of Special Ability Users.
“Let us in!”
A frail woman emerged from behind the crowd, followed by several other men and women, one of the men’s fluffy slippers drawing particular attention.
“You’re trying to rebel, aren’t you? I’m laying it out here, if you don’t hand over Crystal Cores today, don’t even think about getting through this door!”
Zhang Wu pointed to the ground beneath his feet, the requirement of one hundred Crystal Cores was a mandate from above, and he had the full authority to stop them.
“As survivors of this era, yet you persist in making things difficult for others, have you no shame?!”
Yao Rui pointed at the base members behind Zhang Wu and scolded. She couldn’t understand why, in an age when people should be united, there were always those who would hold others back.
“Hey, let me tell you, people are born into ranks, and this base was built by Colonel Yuan himself for everyone, you should obey the orders issued by Colonel Yuan, got it?”
Zhang Wu’s words were righteous, as if he belonged to the highest caste.
“Don’t waste your breath on him; with just a gun in hand, he dares to strut around, I’ve been fed up with this for a long time”
Kong Shangje, wearing fluffy slippers, stepped forward, looking like he was about to clash with Zhang Wu’s group.
Bang!
Zhang Wu shot a man attempting to forcibly enter the base, the bullet hitting the man’s chest. The man’s eyes widened in disbelief as he fell.
“Murderer~”
A cry of alarm rose, accompanied by the clashing of various Special Abilities, and chaos instantly erupted at the city gate…
Zhao Le, timid, ran to a wall, watching in horror as people kept falling, inching toward the city gate; this place was too terrifying, he couldn’t die, his Space had so much of his teammates’ supplies, and if a Space Element Ability User died, the contents of their Space would disappear too.
Yao Rui’s fireball hit Zhang Wu’s rifle, and with quick reflexes, Zhang Wu tossed the rifle away and pulled a small handgun from his waist, firing into the crowd.
The other base gatekeepers hesitated but eventually followed Zhang Wu’s command and began shooting at the survivors ahead.
“Killing our own kind, you are not one of us; no need to hold back any longer, kill them!”
As Yao Rui spoke, she conjured dozens of fast-moving fireballs and hurled them towards the city gate!
Da Yu and Kong Shangjie, along with a few others, also released their Special Abilities with eyes red, underscoring their exhaustion from a day of battling zombies. But with the situation escalated to this point, they knew being captured by these people would lead to dire outcomes.
The number of Special Ability Users who had returned from outside the city walls was limited, while Zhang Wu had a steady stream of reinforcements running from behind him, quickly putting the underpowered Special Ability Users at a disadvantage.
Zhao Le successfully made his way into the base, darting toward the area where Zhang Xiaohong was while no one was looking.
He didn’t know whom to ask for help, but there were many Special Ability Users from the base queuing at Zhang Xiaohong’s location, who would probably be going out to kill zombies later. Now, he could only ask around to see if anyone was willing to help.
Su Jin and the others also heard the gunfire from the base’s entrance, exchanged glances, but continued to weigh the supplies for people, until Zhao Le came running in, gasping, and quickly explained to those in line what was happening at the city gate.
“Please, please help them, they’re about to not hold out”
Zhao Le said in a rush, the sound of gunfire still ringing out continuously and growing more intense; the situation was clearly not good.
“We want to go, but look at the line here”
“`
The people still queuing inside the courtyard said.
Meanwhile, many in the distance, upon hearing Zhao Le’s words, had already run over without a second thought.
It was no joke, having to hand over 100 Crystal Cores every day upon return—if they did as they were asked, how would they survive? Now, the Crystal Cores were treasures.
“Those who want to help can come and get a number tag; we will still prioritize selling supplies to you when you come back later,”
Su Jin said to those in line.
Zhao Le looked at Su Jin gratefully. Sure enough, right after she finished speaking, many people went to get number tags. However, there were still many who hadn’t had their porridge and were too weak to walk steadily; they could only silently cheer on those departing.
“Girl, I want to go have a look as well,”
Nie Qing said, approaching. Rebellion and such—he had only seen it in storybooks before.
“Uncle Nie, please go, but be careful. They have weapons on them,”
Su Jin said.
Seeing that Lu Guanhai and others also wanted to go have a look, Su Jin simply allowed Lu Hao and Lin Xiuyuan to follow, leaving only Huang Yunxiang and the two elders to continue selling supplies in the courtyard.
The smell of blood was pervasive at the city gate, and it appeared that a fair number of people had been shot to the ground. Many of the base’s uniformed personnel were also struck down by Special Ability Users, with cries of pain and screams incessant.
“This…”
Nie Qing was momentarily stunned upon seeing this; it seemed that rebellion was not an easy matter.
“Those with guns don’t look like the proper soldiers from before, probably just hoodlums recruited from who knows where,”
Lu Guanhai pointed to the base’s personnel who were firing indiscriminately and said.
“The former regular army probably all followed Xing Taining and his cohort; these people are not on the same level as them,”
Su Xiangzhe, who had military experience himself, could tell these people were different from Xing Taining’s group.
Zhang Anguo, standing on high ground and watching the situation at the city gate, also noticed Lin Xiuyuan and Lu Hao, who had sold food the day before. He had heard that only Zhang Xiaohong was a Space Element Ability User, and yet, the men from their group had all come here.
Wasn’t this a golden opportunity?
Zhang Anguo instructed the sniper behind him to continue firing below and then led a team down.
Lu Hao also noticed a gaze coming from a wooden building not far away, but when he looked up again, all he could see were several dark gun muzzles shooting at the Special Ability Users below.
Boom!
A big cluster of Special Ability Fire smashed towards the three-story wooden building, instantly igniting a raging fire at its base.
“Son, well done,”

Lu Guanhai couldn’t help but throw two more fireballs at the wooden building as well.
“Brother-in-law, I’ll go lend a hand too,”
Lin Xiuyuan saw Kong Shangjie and several others who had gone into a frenzy. Although those men seemed to have sustained injuries, big and small.
Lu Hao nodded. It wasn’t that they were being nosy; these Special Ability Users were their customers, and moreover, they had already found themselves at odds with the base’s management yesterday.
Seeing this, Lin Cheng and others also went over to join in, occasionally assisting the Special Ability Users.
And at the northern courtyard, Su Jin was longing to immediately kill the several people in front of her—they had actually taken advantage of the distraction to take Li Xiuying hostage at the gate!
