The subordinate immediately turned and left to give instructions.

The man next to him said, "Take care of yourself."

Wenren Yu said, "Gu Zhengming, be careful."

"Know."

Gu Zhengming, with a small wooden stick dangling from his mouth, walked silently down the mountain.

The horde of zombies drew ever closer, and his men rushed over to report.

"Base Commander! We don't have enough men! We can't completely encircle the mountain!"

Wenren Yu was about to give the order for the superhumans to advance into the mountains and shrink the perimeter of the protective circle.

"Base Commander! We can go!" A trainee with bandages wrapped around his neck stood up from the crowd.

"I can go too! I'm a superhuman too!"

More and more people stood up and volunteered to join the mountain defense line.

Someone among the trainees chuckled and shouted, "Even those with crystal core abilities can do good deeds!"

Everyone laughed along: "Yes!"

Wenren Yu smiled and said to his subordinates, "I'm going to the front lines with these soldiers."

"yes!"

"Little car," Wenren Yu called softly.

A1-V rushed over immediately: "I'm here!!"

Wenren Yu carefully placed the meatballs into the car: "Take good care of everyone."

Maruko tried to run outside, but A1-V immediately closed the door: "Mission accomplished! I'll be here waiting for your safe return."

Wenren Yu nodded and led the students down the mountain.

Maruko scratched at the door with its front paws, whimpering, as if it was about to break ties with A1-V.

"Come back safely!" someone among the trainees shouted.

The group of trainees who were heading to the front lines waved goodbye and followed Wenren Yu further and further away.

On the other side, as soon as Wenren Lei got close to the giant, he directly elementalized the ground beneath its feet.

Countless water chains rose from the ground, tightly locking the giant's legs.

We're still far from the foot of the mountain, so stopping Kong Weian here is just right. If we let him go any further and he gets seen by the people down below, it will definitely cause widespread panic.

"Wei An!!" Kong Weiyan shouted, tilting his head back, "Wake up! Don't make the same mistake again!"

The struggling birch giant suddenly stopped, its massive head lowering as it searched the ground.

Kong Weiyan immediately waved his arms, shouting, "I'm here!"

Unexpectedly, the giant's fist swung down, striking Kong Weiyan squarely on the head.

Upon seeing this, Fu Yan immediately activated his wood elemental ability, throwing out vines to bind Kong Weiyan and drag him backward.

The giant's fist slammed into the mountainside, sending boulders tumbling down. The three of them quickly jumped to dodge.

Wenren Lei raised her communication bracelet and said, "Squad leader, a huge rock has rolled down the mountain. Notify everyone at the foot of the mountain to take precautions."

"yes!"

"How could this be?" Kong Weiyan murmured after regaining his footing. "Even with the influence of the head instructor's blood, he should have regained his senses by now after expending so much energy."

Wenren Lei said, "Go up and see if he's lost his mind."

He wasn't cursing, but with Wen Chi, who was only half-brained, as a reference, he now suspected that the zombie king, who was mentally deficient, had something wrong with his brain.

Fu Yan put his arm around Wenren Lei and grabbed Kong Weiyan with his other hand: "Let's go."

Wenren Lei immediately hugged Fu Yan's waist tightly: "Let's go."

The three of them stood on the giant's shoulders, and Kong Weian immediately swung his arm and patted his own shoulder.

"Go off the top of your head!" Wenren Lei said.

Fu Yan grabbed the two of them, leaped up again, and landed steadily on the giant's skull.

The giant's arms were too thick to reach his own head.

"I'm truly a hero who can think of things in a pinch." Wenren Lei brushed the stray hairs from his forehead with a flourish, then said, "Old Kong, find a place to hide."

The giant shook its head wildly, simultaneously swinging vines that slammed onto its own head. Fu Yan condensed a protective shield around himself and Wenren Lei, making it easier for them to move around later.

Kong Weiyan found a thick piece of wood or hair from the giant's head and crawled inside to hide: "Don't worry about me!"

In certain scenarios, the psychopath does indeed resemble a Muggle.

Wenren Lei clung tightly to Fu Yan's body, manipulating the water chains to spread towards the giant's upper body. Fu Yan simultaneously assisted Wenren Lei with his lightning-fire rope.

Layer upon layer, until the giant was completely covered in water chains, and its original skin could no longer be seen.

The water chains and lightning ropes were like a garment, completely binding the giant's movements. Even with all its strength, its body could only tremble slightly.

The vibrations overhead lessened significantly, and even the number of vines swinging up decreased.

"Phew." Wenren Lei released Fu Yan, wiping the sweat from her forehead. "It's a bit strenuous to control so many water chains for the first time."

Fu Yan helped him steady: "You've worked hard."

Kong Weiyan crawled out from under the log: "My roommate is actually that strong."

"It's alright," Wenren Lei said with extreme modesty, "just the ceiling of elemental magic."

Kong Weiyan said, "You're really not being polite."

"What do we do now? Can we just kill him?" Wenren Lei asked. "He's already in this form, his vital point is still inside the mountain?"

Kong Weiyan said, "Look at his feet."

Wenren Lei took out a drone from her spatial ring and controlled it to fly to the giant's feet.

The three stared at the screen on the remote control. The giant's body was enormous and imposing, blotting out the sky and creating a sense of oppression.

Fu Yan pondered for a moment: "There's nothing special about it."

Wenren Lei said, "Don't you think the water shimmers and is especially beautiful?"

Fu Yan said, "Exceptional, extremely, beautiful."

"..." Kong Weiyan said, "Show off your affection later. Were you two a couple before you even entered the manor?"

Wenren Lei said, "That's right."

"No wonder they're still so close even though they've lost their memories."

Wenren Lei felt secretly pleased, because her husband was just too awesome.

"Let's get back to the main point," Kong Weiyan said. "The reason he can move freely in this form is because there is a vine inside the mountain that leads to the soles of his feet, allowing him to access the power of the crystal core hidden within the mountain."

Wenren Lei stared at the screen and saw that the giant's feet sank deeper into the ground. Unless he lifted his feet, the vines were not visible at all.

He stroked his chin: "Since the vines are attached to the soles of your feet, why didn't you just say so? Why did you make me fly a drone down?"

Kong Weiyan laughed heartily: "Don't you think he looks very imposing right now?"

Wenren Lei forced a smile: "Brother, we're at war."

Kong Weiyan smiled nonchalantly, thinking that every glance was one less to take.

He said seriously, "The problem must be in your mind."

Fu Yan said, "Shall we pry it open and take a look?"

That was the proper way to do it, but Fu Yan still asked Kong Weiyan for his opinion.

Kong Weiyan said, "Pry it open."

Fu Yan conjured a sharp longsword and forcefully plunged it into the giant's head.

The wooden skull was not fragile, and it nearly knocked Fu Yan's knife out of his hand.

Fu Yan gripped the knife tightly, increased the force, and plunged it in again.

The knife sank into the giant's skull, and he let out a painful roar, his water chains rattling as he struggled.

With a flick of his wrist, Fu Yan pried a black hole one meter in diameter out of the giant's head.

Wenren Lei and Kong Weiyan lay at the cave entrance, holding flashlights and peering inside.

The giant's brain was empty, with a circular platform in the very center, upon which sat a person sitting cross-legged, with Kong Wei'an's head sleeping in his palm.

The man slowly raised his head, a smile spreading across his face: "Even the most annoying pests aren't as bothersome as you guys."
