Shi Shi collapsed onto the car seat, sweat dripping from her forehead onto the leather seat, forming a small puddle.

Her chest heaved violently, and she panted in small gasps, as this was her first time trying to activate all her power at once.

Even her fingers trembled slightly, and fatigue showed in her eyes.

Yet, there was also a barely noticeable excitement and satisfaction, her whole being like a ragdoll drained of energy, slumping softly against the seat.

"Shi Shi, are you alright?"

Niu Jieshi asked concernedly, his gaze filled with worry.

Shi Shi shook her head slightly, indicating it was just a temporary weakness.

"I'm fine, it felt amazing, just... just need to rest a bit."

Wang Dayong was already seated at the driver's seat, his hand gripping the steering wheel tightly.

Taking advantage of the vacuum zone created by Shi Shi's power, he had floored the gas and sped away.

The car wheels left a deep mark on the ground, the SUV like a wild horse breaking the night's constraints.

The atmosphere inside the car was tense, filled with an uneasy aura, as everyone silently watched the scenes flying past the windows.

The airport lights gradually thinned out, replaced by even dimmer and desolate suburban landscapes.

After about half an hour, they finally left the airport, reaching the outskirts of the city.

However, the situation here was equally grim...

Overturned vehicles on the streets, smashed supermarkets, scattered luggage, and the ever-present virus-infected, turning this once prosperous city into a ghastly dead city.

"Why is it like this here too? This is the Capital City!"

Ma Ran muttered to himself, his voice carrying a slight tremor.

Jiang Xiao stared intently ahead, a hint of determination and resolve in his gaze.

"What's so special about the Capital City? Are people from the Capital City not humans? Does the virus care where you're from?"

Ma Ran was rendered speechless by the series of questions.

Yes, what of the Capital City, under the power of the "God," it's just another slightly larger anthill.

"Keep moving forward, we must find Bai Liu, she was here from the start, might know more."

The driver Wang Dayong shook his head slightly, a hint of resolve in his eyes.

"Jiang Xiao is right, no matter what's ahead, we can't stop."

The vehicle wove through the ruins, occasionally maneuvering around roadblocks and obstacles.

Though there was no signal, unable to use navigation, fortunately the city's landmark signs still stood, guiding them towards the hospital.

As for Ma Ran, he was luckily granted the position of "guide boy."

Wang Dayong drove the SUV, steadily advancing along damaged streets, the headlights carving resolute beams into the darkness.

"Turn left, that sign over there says the direction to the hospital."

Ma Ran pointed to a road sign not far ahead, his voice slightly trembling.

Wang Dayong immediately turned the wheel, the vehicle rounding the corner steadily under his precise control.

They witnessed Jiang Xiao's "overcoming mountains and bridging waters" style of action.

Whenever they encountered obstacles, Jiang Xiao was always the first to step up, with a wave of his hands, the powerful electromagnetic force would blow the roadblocks apart, clearing a path for the vehicle.

A myriad of "zombies" driven by some force, kept charging towards them on the city's roads.

But under the power of Jiang Xiao and Wang Dayong, these monsters were as fragile as paper.

With a flash of electricity, the zombies were blasted away, some even turning to ash the moment they touched the electromagnetic force, posing no threat to the SUV.

Despite feeling somewhat "uneasy."

Jiang Xiao understood that this was neither the time for hesitation nor the time for sentimental pity; if killing was necessary, then kill!

The car sped along the deserted streets, though occasionally a few more tenacious zombies tried to climb aboard.

But once Shi Shi regained some strength, she could effortlessly shake off these monsters.

"Amazing!"

Ma Ran couldn't help but exclaim, having never seen such a breathtaking scene.

The car continued its advance, with obstacles and zombies on the road seemingly unable to halt their progress.

Jiang Xiao's electromagnetic force shone brilliantly that night, like a guiding light in the darkness, guiding them through this dead city.

Finally, after going through a series of "hardships and dangers," they saw the hospital on the outskirts.

It was a majestic building, appearing solemn and sturdy, even amidst the apocalyptic gloom.

"We're almost there, everyone get ready, no one knows what's inside."

Jiang Xiao's voice carried a hint of tension, due to whatever was inside, even Bai Liu requested support, but more so firm determination.

The vehicle stopped outside the hospital, everyone got out, looking at the hospital before them.

This massive building appeared especially heavy, even in the darkness of night.

The hospital's specially made doors were tightly shut, not a hint of light leaking out, nor a single figure to be seen.

The only proof of a zombie attack was the numerous still-drying streaks of blood on the door.

Judging by this stance, the zombies should have failed to breach the hospital's gates.

Jiang Xiao knocked, finding the door's sturdiness beyond his expectation, likely even unable to be blown open by ordinary artillery.

The surroundings were unnaturally quiet, even the sound of the wind brushing past was exceptionally clear.

"Strange, why is it so quiet here?"

Niu Jieshi whispered, his gaze scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Jiang Xiao frowned, sensing something was off, but knowing they had no time to waste guessing. He turned to the others.

"Quiet is normal, after all, those monsters are extremely sensitive to sound. We need to go inside, but don't damage the hospital's structure, let's climb over."

Shi Shi had recovered some strength by now, she nodded, looking somewhat eager.

"I'll go take a look!"

With that, she walked to the wall, leaping lightly and landing on the wall's top as gracefully as a feather.

Worried about the young girl getting into trouble, everyone immediately followed suit.

Except Ma Ran...

He stood motionless below, looking at the people already on top with eyes full of longing mixed with a tinge of despair.

Ma Ran didn't have the courage to be left alone outside the door!

Even if the hospital's inside was unknown, Ma Ran would rather choose death than stay at the door alone...

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao motioned to Wang Dayong with his chin, the latter reluctantly jumped down, and then carried Ma Ran in a princess hold, leaping back onto the wall.

Soon, the group landed softly in the hospital's inner courtyard, and the silence here contrasted sharply with the outside, almost as if it were a world apart.

They carefully made their way towards the hospital building, afraid that something unexpected might suddenly appear.

"Let's check the courtyard first."

"Alright, I was thinking the same..."
