“Protection fee?”

Several people were stunned and didn’t know how to respond.

Are the general’s people being protected right now? Are they actually being protected by a group of zombies?

Of course, everyone can go rescue them now, and if they manage to save them, that could be considered a form of protection, so… charging a protection fee does seem reasonable.

“What, you think the term ‘protection fee’ doesn’t sound good? Then let’s call it something else, how about ‘rescue operation fund’? That sounds fair, right? We’re risking our lives to save them, so it’s reasonable to charge a fee.”

Everyone nodded subconsciously.

“Alright, then that’s settled. Everyone, get ready…”

Wang Tao took out a set of Level 3 Iron Tree Armors and helped Nie Siyan put it on.

Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng still had their armors on, Xu Xiaojun had his own battle armor, and Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue didn’t need any… So they just needed to make sure Nie Siyan was armed. Moreover, for this protection fee mission, Nie Siyan was the main force. Wang Tao had fused a Jumping Crystal Core with her, and now was the perfect time to put it to use.

By the time darkness fell, there was a smattering of starlight outside, enough to see where they were going.

Lan Yulian assigned tasks to the others, instructing them to hold their positions inside the building no matter what happened, and not to go outside under any circumstances.

Then she looked at Jiang Shixue, standing behind Wang Tao, and frowned slightly.

“Wang Tao, is Little Xue going too?”

“Yes.”

“…”

In the eyes of Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng, Jiang Shixue was just an ordinary little girl. Of course, having come this far with everyone, Jiang Shixue was clearly not so ordinary anymore; she must have some other abilities. But they were still worried.

However, neither woman said much more, only thinking that if any danger arose, they needed to protect Jiang Shixue…

…

Wang Tao led the group downstairs.

In the post-apocalyptic world, there’s a saying—nighttime is the real end of the world; daytime is just an appetizer.

And indeed, it was true.

During the day, there were actually not many zombies around the building, and it seemed relatively safe.

But now, after nightfall, zombies could be seen passing by the building from time to time.

When the group was upstairs, they saw just a few zombies in the plaza below. But once they got down, they realized there were already seven or eight gathered. Not to mention the terrifying roars coming from all directions.

Lan Yulian was somewhat nervous; she seldom ventured out at night.

Lu Yingfeng held her hand, which helped to ease her nerves.

Wang Tao gave Nie Siyan a signal with his eyes.

Immediately, Nie Siyan walked over with two sharply honed steel bars in hand.

The zombies that discovered Nie Siyan immediately began to stagger towards her.

Nie Siyan, holding the steel bars, didn’t throw them or stab with them. Instead, she used the bars like a club and swung them at the heads of the two zombies.

Pfft~

The zombies’ heads were instantly crushed, and their entire heads, along with their necks and chests, were split open!

Thud—

Both zombies fell to the ground one after the other.

“Strong!”

Lu Yingfeng exclaimed quietly.

Wang Tao nodded in satisfaction as well.

Nie Siyan wasn’t a strength-based Ability User, but she was able to brutally and directly kill those ordinary zombies with sheer brute force! It had to be said, her physical attributes had improved a lot after ascending to Level 3!

Nie Siyan charged into the horde of zombies like a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger. With just a few swings, she killed them all. Even among them was a Level 2 Elite Zombie, which still couldn’t withstand three blows from Nie Siyan.

After resolving the fight, Nie Siyan quickly ran back to Wang Tao’s side.

“Brother Wang!”

She was thrilled—as she had never imagined herself to be so powerful!

She felt that now, facing any Level 2 zombies, she could resolve them quickly! Even against Level 3 zombies, she felt she could handle them with ease!

“Let’s go.”

Wang Tao patted Nie Siyan on the shoulder, signaling her to stay calm.

Soon, they encountered another wave of zombies. This time, it was Xu Xiaojun’s turn to take action.

Currently, speaking solely of combat strength, it was up for debate whether Xu Xiaojun or Nie Siyan was stronger. However, just in terms of strength, three Nie Siyans wouldn’t be a match for Xu Xiaojun.

Especially when armed with his Mechanical Right Arm, any zombie he touched had only one outcome—to be blasted apart, literally.

With just his brute force, he could blast apart these zombies. If he added Shockwave to his attack, his power would no doubt be no weaker than Wang Tao’s.

“His strength… is freakish!”

Lu Yingfeng was amazed.

She felt that if she were to take Xu Xiaojun’s axe head-on, she would probably be crippled, if not dead…

“You’ll be that strong someday too!”

Lan Yulian encouraged her.

“I hope so…”

Lu Yingfeng was somewhat troubled. She had received a [High-Frequency Vibration] Ability crystal from Wang Tao that she really liked, and she needed to max out this ability to achieve Level 3 Ascension. However, this ability was too rare, and upgrading it to max level seemed like it would take forever…

The road to the diving center was teeming with zombies. However, it was Nie Siyan and Xu Xiaojun who dealt with them.

Wang Tao wanted to assess the strength of Level 3 Ability Users.

After his observation, he could roughly conclude that in terms of combat against zombies, Xu Xiaojun had about eighty to ninety percent of his combat power, and Nie Siyan had about seventy to eighty percent.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

As for who would be stronger or by how much if they fought each other, that was hard to say. Since they had not engaged in combat with each other and their attributes weren’t dramatically different, there was no clear way to determine who was superior without a real fight.

However, if they truly did fight, Wang Tao felt he would have a much higher chance of winning. After all, he was well-rounded in all aspects, with virtually no weaknesses…
