Chapter 161 Encountering the Enemy
In Haizhou city, a group of people entered the area. In order to save as much time as possible, they chose to go directly through the most dangerous and severe radiation zone at the epicenter.

An area with a diameter of more than ten kilometers has been completely turned into a wasteland. The destructive power of top-level strategic weapons is displayed in a very direct way. The surrounding ruins and wreckage are burning with raging fires, and the invisible radiation is enough to make ordinary people who dare to set foot here pay the price with their lives.

Even a third-tier superhuman could feel the burning and stinging sensation on their skin in such an environment. Su Xun used his superpower to blow away the nearby radioactive dust, drive away the flames, and squeeze out the scarce water element in the air to help the team members resist this harsh environment as much as possible.

Even so, they were still not having an easy time, especially the black bear who came in with them, whose bear face was visibly drooping.

“Renren,” Yin Danyi said with a smile, patting its pillar-like forelimbs as she stood beside it. “After we finish this trip, we can truly be considered comrades.”

"I'll ask around later if I can get you into the organization too. Hey, I want to be your introducer."

“No,” Xiao Zhenru glanced at Yin Danyi, “What nonsense are you spouting? You’re talking as if you’re already in the organization. Stop trying to fool us, Xiao Hei.”

"You call it Little Black? Not a sister..."

Recently, as its strength has increased, the black bear has grown even larger. For Xiao Zhenru, who is only about the size of a toy, it's no bigger than a plush toy.

"So what? Xiao Hei is only fifteen years old, still a child. You're the one who keeps fooling him!"

Yin Danyi shook her head: "The lifespan of a wild black bear is generally around thirty years. Fifteen years old is equivalent to fifty years old in human years. You should call him Uncle Bear."

"Besides, I didn't lie to it. The organization I was talking about was the Legion. What did you think it was?"

"you……!"

Xiao Zhenru put her hands on her hips in anger, rolled her eyes, and snorted, "I'm not going to argue with you, anyway."

She proudly showed off a small badge pinned to her chest, her vain expression practically overflowing.

"My sister was already like that before the Great Cataclysm, aren't you envious? Aren't you envious?"

Yin Danyi rolled her eyes, quickened her pace, and moved away from the conspicuous bag.

Su Xun, who was walking in front, turned around and looked at Xiao Zhenru, and said with a smile, "These past few days, people in the army have been saying that you are some kind of 'Angel of Annihilation.' You don't seem to have any idol baggage at all."

"Oh well, it's all just passing clouds." Xiao Zhenru sighed slightly. "It's true that those born after 2010 are all joining the army now. They call me all sorts of things. When I went to support the company before, there were even people chasing after me calling me 'Mom,' sigh..."

Even now, in this environment filled with radioactive dust and where the temperature is high enough to roast meat, she still can't help but feel a chill.

Su Xun shook his head and chuckled. After confirming the zombie king's purpose, he felt much more relaxed. Even if there was a real sea of ​​fire ahead, he could see it as a smooth road.

Driven by his mindset, the whole team was very relaxed and did not complain about being tired or overworked. Instead, they chatted and laughed all the way.

Turning back, Su Xun expanded the range of his ability even further and said to his teammates, "Everyone, hang in there a little longer. Once we get out of this area, we can increase our speed a bit. There shouldn't be anything still alive around here." "Yes!"

The nuclear explosion could not evenly level every inch of the land. As soon as you leave the core kill zone, you can see zombies swaying all around. If the people living in this city were human, they would definitely not survive here. But for the zombies, this explosion was at most a selection process. Those who survived were mostly extraordinary individuals who had already reached a certain level.

However, they were already in a state of chaos and scattered, posing no threat to the team members.

Under these circumstances, a team of Tier 3 superhumans, who were running at full speed, rushed into the former occupied zone in less than half an hour.

This area was heavily targeted and was scorched earth. Of course, there were also some zombies, and their average rank was higher.

As Su Xun took a step forward, scorching waves of fire surged up all around, burning along the remaining streets like a fire dragon, turning the zombies along the way to ashes in an instant.

In this environment, his superpowers have a huge advantage, and he can launch similar attacks almost effortlessly.

However, what was a routine operation for Su Xun left several other superhumans in the team, who also possessed elemental affinity abilities, dumbfounded. It is said that laymen watch the show while experts understand the intricacies, but these "experts" felt that they couldn't understand the intricacies at all.

Is this still the kind of superpower I know?

Su Xun did not answer their questions. Instead, he ordered, "Unleash your senses and launch a full-scale search!"

"Yes!"

The crowd dispersed. After a superhuman reaches the third tier, the biggest improvement lies in their perception ability, which is why Su Xun brought them in.

The urban ruins were a complex and vast area, and any possible traces or clues had been completely wiped out by the nuclear explosion.

In such an environment, it would be extremely difficult to find a zombie king hiding. Although everyone was in a good mood, Su Xun knew in his heart that with so many measures taken by the other side, the zombie king had created a huge escape window.

Their pursuit to this point can only be considered as doing their best; whether they can find the other party is up to fate.

The warriors scattered, and Su Xun also carefully explored the area in front of him. Compared to other superhumans, his perception range was larger. The only ones who could match his search speed were the black bear and the sentinel, who had their own innate advantages.

After walking for a while, suddenly, an extremely violent bear roar came from the side, followed by the shockwaves from the battle. Su Xun's heart skipped a beat, and he turned and moved closer. However, although the zombie that appeared near the black bear was powerful, exceeding the level of a normal third-tier zombie, it had not reached the fourth tier.

Su Xun raised his hand and clenched his fist. A spark suddenly burst forth in the scorching hot air around him. He casually tossed the spark onto the zombie. The small spark pierced through the body that had withstood the bear's claws without a scratch, and then burst into flames from the inside out.

But after dealing with this zombie, more battle fluctuations suddenly arose from all directions. Almost every superhuman who entered this place was immediately attacked by one or two third-tier zombies or a group of second-tier zombies. Su Xun frowned, turned around abruptly, and saw a slender and exquisite figure appear on a tall building in the distance, looking in this direction with a smile on her lips, revealing an aura of being a fourth-tier zombie.
