Just as Ye Shuwan had said, the gas station was very quiet, unusually quiet.

At first glance, the place was unusually clean, with no corpses or remains, as if it had been deliberately cleaned.

The dark red bloodstains and debris remaining on the ground, as well as the scratches and dents on the fuel tank pillar, all revealed that a fierce battle had taken place here.

Like a calm sea concealing the traces of a battle fought on the seabed, the scattered bloodstains, after lingering briefly on the surface, were eventually covered by the clear seawater and swallowed by silence.

The five men became even more cautious and moved closer to the inside.

Ye Shuwan followed behind Jiang Yufeng, spreading her spiritual power inch by inch.

Contrary to its apparent safety, the gas station was teeming with zombies of all sizes.

Most of them were crammed into the convenience store, some were hiding behind the fuel tanks at the very back, and a few had even dug several large holes in the canopy and were hiding right next to the holes.

Each pair of grayish-white eyes gleamed with greed, staring intently at the five of them, as if they wanted nothing more than to rush out and devour them alive.

Even though their instincts were screaming wildly, these zombies controlled their urge to roar and waited for their prey to approach.

This suggests that the mentally-controlled zombies that control them are not to be underestimated.

Unfortunately, this zombie was not obviously different from the other zombies in appearance, and she couldn't find it for a while.

Just then, three steps away from Jiang Yufeng, directly above a zombie, unable to control its drool, dripped saliva from the hole.

Jiang Yufeng stopped and came face to face with the zombie squatting on it.

The lure of the nearby food caused it to break free of its control, leaping down and crashing into the ground, creating a deep crater before charging straight at Jiang Yufeng.

Jiang Yufeng stood still, and with a simple wave of his hand, the zombie's head separated from its body and rolled to the ground.

This roll seemed to signal a sudden surge of zombies, which rushed towards the five people.

"Stay close to me." Jiang Yufeng whispered to Ye Shuwan behind him, then raised his voice to the other three, "Keep your distance and don't get separated."

Cheng Yan, carrying a large knife, twisted his neck, full of fighting spirit: "It's been a long time since I've encountered so many zombies. This is a good opportunity for your Master Cheng to stretch his muscles."

He Sihuai looked thin, but his fighting skills were not low. He remained silent, and several zombie corpses were already placed around him.

Shen Yanke even smiled, adopting the demeanor of a refined gentleman, and leisurely led away a group of zombies:

“These are all faster than the ones we saw on the road. But they seem smarter; they even know to hide and wait for us to come in before attacking, and they even surround us. Ah Yu, do you think they've all developed consciousness or are being manipulated?”

Jiang Yufeng waved his hand and cut down the zombie that was trying to pounce on Ye Shuwan from the left: "It must be being controlled."

"No way, what kind of insane thing could control zombies?" Cheng Yan exclaimed loudly after hearing it.

Jiang Yufeng: "Zombies."

Shen Yanke: "Zombies."

"Huh? No way, how does it control itself? Surely zombies don't have superpowers too." Cheng Yan was skeptical and casually made a comment.

He Sihuai, who had been quietly slaying zombies, suddenly hummed in agreement.

The voice was too soft; only Cheng Yan, who was closest to him, heard it: "Huh? Lao He, what are you 'huh'ing about?"

"Maybe." He Sihuai dropped those three words without any context and then fell silent.

Fortunately, thanks to their long-standing friendship, Cheng Yan and the others understood what he meant.

Cheng Yan didn't slow down his chopping motion, and said hesitantly, "No way, God has to leave us a way out. If even zombies have superpowers, wouldn't they be even harder to kill?"

Shen Yanke and Jiang Yufeng didn't respond, but they were also not at peace with themselves.

He Sihuai only guessed part of it. The fact that zombies have superpowers is one aspect, but based on current discoveries, they are very likely to continue to evolve.

No one knows what level they could evolve to if they had special abilities.

Right now, we're only controlling the zombies at one gas station. But if we can eventually control all the zombies, and they unite, then...

Ye Shuwan's baseball bat was held in front of her, but Jiang Yufeng firmly protected it behind her, so she had no chance to make a move.

This also made it easier for her to continue searching for the psychic zombie.

They were all hiding together, so I couldn't tell them apart.

It's quite obvious now that among the group of zombies charging forward, there's one that's been hiding behind the others.

It was small and thin, and when it hid behind the tall zombie, it would change its position from time to time, so no one would notice it.

If Ye Shuwan hadn't been so observant, it would have been difficult to spot.

It's rare to find a zombie that's both intelligent and "life-conscious".

Taking advantage of the zombie's lack of awareness, Ye Shuwan seized the opportunity and channeled most of her mental energy into its brain, attempting to control it.

The brain was suddenly attacked, and the mental zombie swayed and froze for a few seconds, but quickly regained its balance. It even withdrew its ability to control other zombies and directly confronted her.

The zombies, now out of control, are much more chaotic than before.

Originally, they were orderly surrounding the group, attacking one after another, but now they are rushing towards the five people in a frenzy.

If they find that their kind are blocking their way to eat, they will throw the ones in front of them aside.

After being thrown and pushed, they were quickly killed as they approached Jiang Yufeng and his group of four, as if they were vying to die.

"Hey, why have they suddenly become stupid?" The zombies' attacks slowed down, and Cheng Yan even had the leisure to watch them "fight amongst themselves."

Shen Yanke took a moment to shake his arm, which was tired from chopping: "It's like it's out of control."

Jiang Yufeng glanced around the gas station and quickly noticed something amiss.

Amidst the chaos, one zombie stood motionless, standing out from the crowd.

It was busy dealing with Ye Shuwan, and the zombies that were originally controlling the area in front of it all ran to the "food" side, thus exposing it.

After Jiang Yufeng signaled to Shen Yanke, he was about to kick out a path to approach the zombie when he saw out of the corner of his eye that Ye Shuwan behind him suddenly went weak in the knees and knelt on the ground.

He hurriedly turned around and supported her limp body. Looking down, he saw that the person in his arms was pale, biting her lip hard, with beads of blood seeping out. She looked like she was in great pain: "What happened?"

Ye Shuwan's initial mental power level was only level one, just like those who had just awakened their abilities, while this mental zombie's level was close to level two.

She should have been able to control the zombie, which was completely unprepared, and make it willingly offer up the crystal core in its brain.

But just now, it unexpectedly broke through the barrier between level one and level two and upgraded to a level two zombie.

Using its higher level, it took the initiative, invaded her mind, and began to try to control her.

If Ye Shuwan hadn't traversed so many small worlds and greatly improved her mental strength, she would have just become a zombie's puppet.

But the situation is also very bad now. Ye Shuwan can clearly feel her superpowers draining away rapidly, and she can't hold on for much longer.

She vaguely heard Jiang Yufeng's voice, and like a dying person grasping at a straw, she squeezed out a few words with all her might: "Kill, kill it."
