Mo Cheng scrambled in. Before the people behind him could enter, they were torn into pieces by the zombies.

Bai Lianhua kept shouting, causing Fu Shinan’s eardrums to hurt. She pushed Bai Lianhua away and ran downstairs. If the door of the base couldn’t be guarded, everyone would really die.

When she reached the first floor, she realized that the situation was much more tragic than she had imagined. There were about 40 people in the base. Now, including Mo Cheng and Ji Zan, there were only six people left.

The group held the door firmly, with everyone exerting all their strength. “Mr. Ji, you go first.”

Veins bulged on their arms as they pushed against the door, and in a low voice, Ji Zan said, “Stop talking nonsense. If we’re going to go, we’ll go together. Even if we die, we’ll keep each other company on the road to the afterlife! It’s not the time for words now. Put all your strength into the door.”

At this moment, Mo Cheng suddenly shouted, “Sister Fu, what are you doing down here? Hurry up and go up! It won’t be long before they crash in. Hurry up and go up!”

As she watched the others desperately holding the door, Fu Shinan felt a surge of determination in her heart. Since fate had given her this extraordinary system, she believed she could withstand it! Even if it required her full effort, she would save these people. She refused to believe that fate would deny them a way out!

She took a deep breath and quickly walked to Ji Zan’s side. “Don’t worry, we won’t die. The zombies won’t be able to attack us!” Then, she reached out her hand and pressed the door with a solemn expression!

Enhance, Enhance, Enhance the door, Enhance everything…

Fu Shinan screamed crazily in her heart.

Meanwhile, the system notification kept echoing in his mind.

Fu Shinan no longer had the chance to distinguish whether the strengthening was a success or a failure. If they were to relax a little now, the door in front of them might be crushed into countless pieces by the zombies, and they would be instantly torn into pieces.

Ji Zan raised his eyebrows. The moment Fu Shinan pressed her hands on the door, he suddenly felt the pressure lessen. The little woman in front of him suddenly turned pale like yesterday!

The others also looked at Fu Shinan in astonishment. It was clear that what Ji Zan could sense, they could too.

A silence enveloped the surroundings as if they could only hear each other’s breathing. After an unknown amount of time, the pounding from outside gradually quieted down.

Fu Shinan continued to chant “Enhance” mechanically in her mind, her body on the verge of collapse. Suddenly, she heard a crisp sound.

[System upgrade: Success probability increased to 10%, strengthening successful. Building defense increased by 30%, endurance increased by 30%, impact resistance increased by 30%.]

Fu Shinan widened her eyes in disbelief. The system could still upgrade? But she didn’t have time to think about it, because the next second, she could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Ji Zan reached out and caught Fu Shinan, “Miss Fu!”

Fu Shinan grabbed his arm and managed to stand up, “I’m fine.” She gritted her teeth. She couldn’t faint now. She was waiting for news from the zombies. She needs to be ready for the next enhancement.

Ji Zan continued to look down at her, while Mo Cheng suddenly exclaimed with excitement, “It seems like the zombies have left!”

Everyone crouched at the door and listened for a while. One brave person pushed open the door. Indeed, the zombies were gone, along with the dozens of transformed bodies. They came and went in a hurry. Why was that?

Ji Zan looked at the time. It was three in the afternoon. He immediately said, ” Hurry up and go back to rest and replenish your energy. The zombies might come again tonight! ”

Everyone responded and quickly spread out to go upstairs.

Ji Zan supported Fu Shinan and asked with concern, “Can you still walk on your own?”

“No problem,” Fu Shinan forced a smile. She had only strengthened the gate earlier, which didn’t consume much energy. She just had a slight lack of oxygen in her brain.

“Then let’s go upstairs and rest, and eat something,” Ji Zan said, embracing her waist and supporting her body. He could tell she was being stubborn.

Fu Shinan quickly pushed him away. “I can manage.” Then she remembered what Cao Yong had said and directly asked, “Before he left, Cao Yong told me that many people in the base would die today. He also said that we could survive if we head east. What do you think he meant by that?”

“Oh?” Ji Zan paused.

Fu Shinan hesitated for a moment before saying,”I think…” He seemed to have some kind of premonition ability. He had been acting strangely these few days.”

Ji Zan’s eyes darkened as he asked, “Do you believe that the superpowers in the movies are real?”

Fu Shinan responded with a question of her own, “Then do you believe that the apocalypse is real? We already have zombies, so what else is impossible?”
