The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

The Black Kill Squad has finally made its move.

Bai Liuxi was the first to rush out.

She moved as fast as lightning, weaving through the gaps between ice crystals and meteorites.

A faint layer of energy gathered at the edge of her palm, glowing faintly in the darkness, like an invisible blade. The Ice Witch's ice crystals shot towards her, but she swung her hand in the air, the energy cleaving the ice crystals in two, shattering them into countless tiny fragments that flew past her sides.

Her figure weaved through the shards of ice crystals, heading straight for the Ice Witch.

Old Wei's shield blocked Bai Liuxi's side.

The Ice Witch's ice crystals struck the shield, shattering it and forming a thin layer of ice on it. Fine frost appeared on Old Wei's arm, but he did not retreat.

His body stood to Bai Liuxi's side, and his shield stood to her other side, like a mobile fortress, blocking all the ice crystals that came from the side.

Zhao Cheng drew his Tang sword.

The blade flashed a silvery arc in the darkness, slicing meteorites in two wherever it passed. His speed was so great that the meteorites didn't even have time to hit the ground before being shredded.

Sparks and fragments of rubble flew everywhere, landing on Zhao Cheng's face. He didn't flinch, not even blinking. His body spun, leaped, and dashed through the meteor shower, like a dancer treading on a knife's edge, every movement perfectly timed, not a fraction more, not a fraction less.

Ah Qi's drone flew over the battlefield.

Not one, but five, their blue signal lights flashing in the darkness.

They are not for attacking, but for disrupting.

Ah Qi's fingers danced rapidly across the control panel. The signal lights of the five drones simultaneously turned red, then emitted an ultrasonic wave inaudible to humans but perceptible to monsters. The Ice Witch's ice crystals veered off course and struck a tree trunk; the Fire Witch's meteorite veered off track and crashed into an open field.

Xiao Jiu's vines grew wildly from underground.

Deep purple vines, like giant pythons, emerged from beneath the fallen leaves and wrapped around the Ice Witch's ankles.

The Ice Witch glanced down, the smile on her lips unchanged. A chill emanated from beneath her feet, freezing the vines into icicles within seconds before shattering.

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Jiu's mouth, not from being hit, but from the backlash of his destroyed plants. His fingers were stuck in the soil, his nails broken and bleeding. His lips trembled, but his eyes remained fixed on the Ice Witch.

The five people worked together in perfect harmony, like a machine that had been running for decades without ever stopping.

Old Wei tanked the damage, Zhao Cheng dealt with the meteors, A Qi disrupted, Xiao Jiu controlled, and Bai Liuxi led the attack. Bai Liuxi's energy cleaved through the Ice Witch's shield, shattering it. The Ice Witch slid across the ice, retreating more than ten meters. Bai Liuxi chased after her, her energy condensing again in her palm as she slashed towards the Ice Witch's neck.

The Fire Witch moved.

With a wave of her hand, a fireball flew towards Bai Liuxi.

Old Wei's shield blocked the fireball, which exploded on the shield. Old Wei was blasted back several steps, leaving a charred crater on the shield.

Zhao Cheng's Tang sword sliced ​​through another fireball, but fragments of the fireball splashed onto his arm, burning through his clothes and scalding his skin. Zhao Cheng frowned, but did not stop, continuing to charge towards the Fire Witch.

But the Black Kill Squad only had five members, and the two witches were working together too well.

The ice crystals of the Ice Witch and the meteorites of the Fire Witch intertwined, their fusion not canceling each other out, but rather enhancing each other. The ice crystals were enveloped by the fireballs, while the fireballs were cooled by the ice crystals, transforming into a new and more bizarre attack... the Dual Blade of Ice and Fire.

When these projectiles landed on the shield, they were first burned into a crater, then frozen and cracked. They were burned again, then frozen again, and dense cracks appeared on Old Wei's shield. The edges of the cracks turned black, the black edges turned white, and the white edges turned purple.

Old Wei's arms were trembling, not from fatigue, but because the shield was about to give way.

Bai Liuxi was forced back by the Ice Witch's ice spikes.

It wasn't that she couldn't beat them, but that the opponent's ice spikes were too numerous and too frequent. Moreover, after Xiao Jiu's vines were destroyed, the Ice Witch lost control, and her ice spikes shot from all directions. Bai Liuxi's energy cleaved one in two, and another shot from the side. She flipped in the air to avoid that one, but the third one had already grazed her arm.

A tear appeared in her combat uniform on her arm, leaving a shallow bloodstain on her skin. The edges of the bloodstain turned bluish-purple within seconds, then began to freeze. Bai Liuxi's arm went numb, not from pain, but from cold, as if it had been frozen.

"Su Mu!" Bai Liuxi's voice came from the center of the battlefield. It wasn't loud, but it was extremely penetrating, enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

Everyone was stunned.

Those who were fighting, running away, hiding, crying, praying... all stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Bai Liuxi in that instant.

Bai Liuxi stood in the center of the battlefield, frost still spreading on her arms. Her face was expressionless, but her eyes shone in the darkness. Her gaze passed over the crowd, over the bonfires, over the wreckage of the defensive line, and landed on Su Mu.

Su Mu leaned against the trunk of the large tree, arms crossed, watching the battlefield. His expression was as calm as still water, but his eyes gleamed faintly in the darkness. A spear rested against the trunk beside him, its tip embedded in the fallen leaves, untouched. He didn't move.

Prosci's expression changed.

He stood on the south side of the defensive line, his wings folded, and the golden light blade dissipated in his palm.

He heard Bai Liuxi call out "Su Mu," saw the direction of Bai Liuxi's gaze, and then his face turned from pale to ashen. He didn't believe it.

He didn't believe Su Mu had the ability. He didn't believe that woman would call on a "pretty boy" for help at this time.

He couldn't believe that Su Mu, who had only killed a few zombies from beginning to end, could play any role in a battle of this level. His fingers trembled, not from fear, but from anger. He felt slighted—slighted by Bai Liuxi, slighted by Su Mu, slighted by everyone present. He had fought desperately, restraining the Thunder Goblin, repelling the Minotaur King Sauta, and killing countless monsters, while Su Mu had done nothing, yet Bai Liuxi had called upon him.

On what grounds?

The others realized what was going on. Why did Commander Bai call that "pretty boy"?

Isn't all he does to kill zombies? Didn't he never lift a finger from beginning to end? Wasn't he always hiding behind the woman?

"Is Commander Bai calling him? What does he want?"

"I don't know...maybe I should ask him for help?"

"Help? What help can he offer? Even Prosciutto couldn't defeat those two witches, how could he?"

"Whether it works or not, we'll find out by trying. If it doesn't, we won't lose anything."

"No losses? What if he goes up and gets instantly killed? Wouldn't morale be even lower?"

The murmurs came from all directions. Su Mu heard them, Bai Liuxi heard them, Lin Xiaohe heard them, and Lin Yuwei heard them.

Lin Xiaohe gripped the dagger tightly, her knuckles turning white. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she said nothing. Her eyes glowed red in the darkness, like two burning flames.

Lin Yuwei's fingers rubbed against the gun handle at her waist for a moment, then released. Her gaze shifted from Bai Liuxi to Su Mu, her lips twitching slightly, it was unclear whether she wanted to laugh or curse.

She recalled the battle in the Dark Zone, the fight between Su Mu and Bai Liuxi where Su Mu gained the upper hand, and Su Mu's shot that hit the hunter in the back of the head—though not fatal, the shot nearly killed the hunter.
