This thought arose in Zhang Qiang's mind. But before he could dwell on it, a hail of bullets flew toward them. Zhang Qiang abandoned any tough talk and grabbed his gun to spray them with bullets. He refused to believe that the opposing ability user could stop all the bullets. But to his surprise, every bullet he fired flew back toward them, just like the eerily similar scene from before. Zhang Qiang looked at his nearly empty gun, tossed it to the glasses-wearing man beside him, then gathered two lightning orbs in his hands and hurled them toward the two cars. Shen Hegui blocked the lightning orbs with two metal shields, and their collision produced a deafening explosion. Yu Ke and the others got out of the car to help, charging at Zhang Qiang's men with their weapons. Jiang Yuntan witnessed the power of the two abilities colliding and once again deeply realized the strength of abilities. Since both Shen Hegui and Xue Zhao advised her not to get out, she simply shot at the enemies through the car window. But once Yu Ke and the others joined the melee, she put the gun away to avoid accidentally hitting her own people. Jiang Yuntan watched the clash between the two ability users, and seeing the lightning sparking in Zhang Qiang's hands, an idea struck her. She leaned over, grabbed the walkie-talkie from the passenger seat, and spoke into it: "Sister Ruoshui, can you hear me?" Qi Ruoshui saw the walkie-talkie light up and quickly picked it up, saying, "Yes, what's up?" Jiang Yuntan continued, "Water seems to conduct electricity. Sister Ruoshui, try using your ability to splash some water onto that tattooed-arm guy." "Okay, I'll try," Qi Ruoshui replied. Meanwhile, Shen Hegui and Zhang Qiang were locked in a stalemate. Wherever Zhang Qiang's lightning struck, Shen Hegui's shield blocked it. Zhang Qiang thought his opponent could only defend, not realizing that Shen Hegui was studying his moves and that his own men were dwindling. Suddenly, as he was gathering his ability, a splash of water passed through his hands and soaked the area around his waist. Zhang Qiang's whole body convulsed as electricity spread from his hands throughout his body, making his movements sluggish and stiff. Seizing this opportunity, Shen Hegui ended him with one fierce slash, severing his head. Indeed, an ability user's bones were harder than ordinary people's; he had to use thirty percent more strength than usual. When Zhang Qiang's head rolled to the ground, his body continued to twitch for a while. The glasses-wearing man was stunned to see Zhang Qiang eliminated like that. The next second, the quick-witted Yu Ke knocked him out with a club, and he soon stopped breathing. Only after the electricity on Zhang Qiang's body had stopped did Shen Hegui walk over and touch him to confirm he was no longer electrified. Just as he hesitated, Lin Tingxue walked over. Shen Hegui noticed but said nothing, because he too wanted to see what Lin Tingxue would do. Lin Tingxue took out a dagger, slit open Zhang Qiang's brow, and extracted a light purple crystal core the size of a soybean. The core gleamed in the sunlight, unlike the murkiness of zombie crystals. Lin Tingxue pulled a tissue from her pocket, placed the light purple crystal on it, and handed it to Shen Hegui. "I just wanted to see if ability users, like zombies, also had crystal cores. I didn't expect they actually did." "This is your trophy, so it's naturally yours." Lin Tingxue stood in the sunlight with a smile like a flower, as if a filter had been added over her. Shen Hegui gave her a deep look and said politely, "Thank you." But that strange feeling in his heart surfaced again. Lin Tingxue seemed to know everything, and she appeared extremely familiar with these matters, as if she had done them thousands of times. Jiang Yuntan watched Lin Tingxue's actions from the side and formed her own assessment. Then, Lin Tingxue's next move left her dumbfounded. Lin Tingxue suggested, "These people probably all need to be decapitated, or I'm afraid they'll turn into zombies. Only by cutting off their heads can we avoid that outcome." "Mmm, thanks to Miss Lin's reminder," Shen Hegui replied calmly, but his mind was in turmoil. This was something they had only discovered by chance this morning, yet Lin Tingxue was far too familiar with it. Yu Ke and the others were smart; they exchanged glances and tacitly chose not to ask why. Instead, Lin Xuan asked, "Aren't they already dead? How could they become zombies?" "People who just died haven't cooled down yet; they might have a chance to turn into zombies." Lin Tingxue didn't know how to explain it to them, so she quickly made up an excuse. "I saw this on the first night of the apocalypse when I couldn't sleep and was observing with binoculars. But I didn't think much of it then; I only remembered it now when I saw it." Yu Ke said speechlessly, "Such an important thing, and you didn't mention it last night when we encountered those ability users." Lin Tingxue bit her lip and explained, "I saw you throw them downstairs and figured they were already flattened, so I didn't take it to heart." Shen Hegui interrupted their conversation and said, "Since that's the case, let's get to work." So, with clear division of labor, they swiftly cut them in half. Jiang Yuntan thought about Lin Tingxue's earlier words and guessed that Lin Tingxue's mention of wanting to save people had drawn everyone's displeasure, which was why she was trying so hard to show off today by revealing these things. She touched the Blood Jade Bracelet on her wrist and felt a bit more at ease. Good thing she had been extra cautious. Since Lin Tingxue was a reincarnator and knew that the Blood Jade Bracelet was a treasure, but judging by Lin Tingxue's appearance, she probably didn't know its exact form. So, she would make Lin Tingxue smash the "Blood Jade Bracelet" with her own hands in front of everyone, thereby shattering Lin Tingxue's own expectations. She had been puzzled before why, as the tool character who delivered the golden finger, the Blood Jade Bracelet wasn't a family heirloom of the original owner's family, but of the Shen family. Now it seemed that the author wanted readers to think that Lin Tingxue's theft of the Blood Jade Bracelet wasn't so morally low. After all, since Lin Tingxue and Shen Hegui had mutual feelings and would eventually be together, having the Shen family heirloom bracelet in Lin Tingxue's possession was not unreasonable. Jiang Yuntan touched the bracelet on her wrist again. Sorry, but her morals weren't that high either. Since the Blood Jade Bracelet was now in her hands, she would gladly accept it. After finishing the aftermath and ensuring no one had escaped, the group drove toward the gas station. Soon, the cars stopped inside the gas station, and they saw eight or nine men staring at them nervously, torn between attacking directly or trying to negotiate. But unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Hegui and a few others got out of the car, they charged at them with weapons.
