Chapter 24: Limit Breakthrough

ent and didn’t want to be praised too much. Now, in order not to implicate my biological father, I can only release the news. At least this time I can catch the star thief, and I also have credit. I w...The rain outside was pouring down, as if it were trying to release all the built-up frustration of this period. It was also the first heavy rainfall in three months since the apocalypse began.

The team members waiting inside could only see flashes of purple lightning outside through a small opening. Two hours passed, and the intervals between the purple light became longer, making it clear that Ziyue's abilities were running low.

"These damn zombie birds!"

The Eagle Mastiff growled softly.

Because of Wu Lianyi's manipulation, those zombie birds are no longer fixated on hiding in the rooms with the other survivors. They still want to swallow the fresh meat right in front of them.

"Zihua, can you still hold on"

Eaglewing touched his face and asked loudly.

“Not bad, about to break the limit.”

Wu Lianyi responded that because there was a water shield supported by the wings of an eagle, the two people were not wet even in the heavy rain.

Wu Lianyi took advantage of the increasingly heavy rain to kill some of the zombie birds that swarmed her. The remaining zombies realized this wasn't an easy meal, so they became more cautious and started employing diversion tactics, trying to separate the two people.

"These things actually lay out."

This surprised the Eagle Wing.

At the same time, he immediately waved his hand, and the raindrops falling in the air turned into water needles, which accurately pierced the skull of the zombie bird. A zombie sparrow fell down. This kind of sparrow was the most difficult to deal with because it was small in size, its claws were sharp, and if you weren't careful, you would be caught.

As Wu Lianyi's abilities slightly recovered, she immediately replenished the eagle wing position, waved her hand and released a thunderball, using the rain to spread it among the zombie bird flock in the air. Many charred corpses of zombie birds fell from the sky like dumplings.

Wu Lianyi felt that her hard-earned ability had bottomed out again, it was really useless.

Eagle Wing didn't even bother resting, squeezing himself further, unleashing his water system ability and instantly killing another circle of zombie birds.

Wu Lianyi, through the rain curtain, watched the flickering red eyes in the darkness. Her brows were furrowed tightly. These things were very clever. They used small zombies like sparrows to consume both of their abilities. What remained would then tear them apart the moment they were exhausted.

"Captain, these things are getting smarter. They're even starting to understand how to fight a war of attrition."

Wu Lianyi said in a low voice.

"Our abilities, combined with the heavy rain, can just counteract these things. Now we can only hold on."

The Hawkwing has no better way now.

"Captain, your abilities have reached the peak level. It's perfect to use this heavy rain as a boost. I'll just borrow some external force for myself."

Wu Lianyi's thoughts were clear. The best way at present was to enhance her abilities, so that she could confidently kill these zombie birds.

When the zombie birds were pecking at them relentlessly, Wu Lianyi didn't want to let these aerial enemies escape. They weren't far from their temporary encampment after all.

Eagle Wings was already showing signs of a breakthrough, but because the circumstances were not right, he had been holding back. Now, hearing Wu Lianyi's words, he spoke very decisively:

"Okay, you hold on for a bit. I'm going to break through now!"

They immediately grasped two Level 1 crystal cores in each hand, beginning to absorb the power within. Their cores were all uniformly distributed before their missions, to ensure they could replenish their depleted energy promptly.

As power from the core entered his body, Eaglewing felt the barrier weakening and immediately increased his absorption rate.

Wu Lianyi, who was struggling to spread her thunder net, just wanted to roll her eyes. She did want Eagle Wing to break through, but couldn't she wait until she absorbed the second-level crystal nucleus Now she was stuck at the front.

She directly took out the level two crystal nucleus from space, held it in her hand, absorbing its power while supporting the electric net to keep the zombie birds away.

The large zombie birds, which had always chosen to watch from afar, seemed to have noticed that Wu Lianyi and Yingyi were outmatched. Two of the large zombie birds, having lost their patience, flapped their wings and flew towards the rooftop on the second floor.

The water screen covering the two figures above suddenly began to expand, slowly enveloping the entire two-story building within its protection. Eaglewing leaped into the air, feeling a surge of power coursing through him. A slight smile curved his lips. Under this intense pressure, he broke through to Level 2.

The expanded water curtain split into jets of water the next second, according to Eaglewing's consciousness, and shot straight at the large zombie bird flying towards them. The sound of "patter" rang out again, and this time the fallen zombie birds littered the ground.

With a deafening roar, Wu Lianyi ascended to the next level with the help of her second-level crystal core. The olive-sized thunderball she threw soared into the sky and connected with the lightning, becoming even more imposing. It then spread across the entire airfield through the falling raindrops, engulfing all the zombie birds within its reach.

After unleashing her ultimate move, Wu Lianyi felt the surge of power within her gradually subside. The rain continued to fall relentlessly, but the ground in front of the two-story building was now covered with a thick layer of corpse bird carcasses. They had won this battle.

Wu Lianyi collapsed directly to the ground, gasping for breath, while Ying Yi shouted down to his comrades:

"After we clear out the zombie birds in the building, we'll move to the big warehouse. It's not safe here anymore."

"Got it!"

After forty minutes, the Eaglehound led the remaining group to safely rendezvous with their captain. Then, under the open curtain of water, they went directly to the former warehouse.

After they successfully entered the large warehouse, the rain became even heavier, and low-lying areas were already flooded.

At their temporary base, Sun Yi's abilities broke through on the evening of the day Wu Lianyi and the others left, reaching Level 1.

When she opened her eyes, she only saw her younger brother. She suddenly had a bad feeling and asked directly:

"What about ripples"

She and Hawkwing went on a mission, didn't bring me along, left me here to guard you while you level up.

Sun Wang was a little downcast, but seeing his older sister successfully break through to level one, his mood brightened.

With a deafening boom, thunder cracked across the sky, followed by torrential rain pouring down. It seemed as if the perfect moment had finally arrived.

Sun Yi gazed out the window at the rain, that intense unease becoming even more pronounced. She directly addressed Sun Wang, saying:

"Let's go for a walk together!"

"What time is it now"

Sun Wang was a little puzzled, what was the point of going out in such heavy rain

Yes, now! Hurry up!

Son Yi urged directly.

"Oh, good!"

Immediately, Sun Wang found a raincoat and left the Special Forces dormitory with his older sister.

Before the downpour intensified, the two returned to their dorm. Sun Yi had now confirmed her sensing, and she also knew what kind of bad feeling it was that was giving her this sensation.

Sun Yi decisively went to find the captain of the special forces, telling him her sensing. The rest was beyond her control, now she could only hope Wu Lianyi and the others could return safely.thdrew her hand, looked around, and took the medicine bowl that Wang Yaozu was still holding in his hands. She sniffed it before saying,“The medicine is only symptomatic, but for my grandfather, it's...
