Chapter 1763 Corpse Control and Shadow Manipulation

Qin Fenglin and Li Nana cautiously observed the broken walls and ruins flashing past the window while occasionally responding to Li Luo's follow-up questions, such as which areas in the base were restricted zones and which ability users were aloof and should not be provoked.

Li Luo then changed the subject and asked the most crucial question:

"What's the situation with the zombies outside the base? Have you seen any members of the [Destruction] faction?"

"There are more and more zombies, especially in the abandoned city in the west," Qin Fenglin said, his voice trembling with fear. "Recently, level 3 and above zombies have become the norm there. What's even more frightening is that a team encountered a level 5 speed-type zombie king! That guy is as fast as a high-speed train. Not only can he control a massive horde of zombies to launch a zombie horde, but he also carries four or five different superpowers. One of them, a sonic attack, is particularly troublesome. It's both offensive and defensive, so terrifying that people don't even have the courage to confront it head-on!"

"Sonic attack?" Shi Xinxin pressed. "Does it mean it can hurt people with sound, or will it interfere with the activation of superpowers?"

"Yes!" Qin Fenglin swallowed hard. "When the Corpse King launched its sonic attack, my ears felt like they were being pricked with needles, and my head was spinning. I couldn't use my powers properly at all. The team that encountered it was instantly scattered. Several people didn't escape. In the end, the base had to unite several elite teams and go through a lot of trouble to eliminate it."

“As for the people who destroy the forces, we haven’t encountered them directly,” Li Nana continued, “but we’ve heard from other outing teams that they’ve seen them several times in the western ruins. Those people are incredibly fast and can even command zombies to attack survivors.”

"Command zombies?" Li Luo's eyes narrowed. "How do you command them? Is it some kind of superpower?"

"Everyone's guessing it's the 'corpse control' ability!" Qin Fenglin lowered his voice, his tone full of apprehension. "One team of 'sensory' ability users said that those people from the Destruction Force don't have any human aura at all. Instead, they carry a chilling energy that's the same as the aura of zombies. Moreover, there are 'shadow manipulation' ability users among them who can use shadows to move instantly and hide their bodies. One team had their supplies stolen before, and they didn't even see the other side's shadow."

"If it's shadow manipulation, are there any obvious signs when it's activated? Such as changes in light and shadow or fluctuations in airflow?" Li Luo pressed for details.

“I don’t know the specifics, but I heard that when it’s activated, there are signs of shadows distorting and condensing, so fast that people can’t even react,” Li Nana shook her head. “The base is also offering a reward for clues about the forces of destruction. Providing useful information can earn you a lot of points and crystal cores, but no one dares to provoke them easily.”

Li Luo's fingers tightened subtly, a surge of emotion welling up inside her.

With her ability to control corpses and manipulate shadows, the methods for destroying forces were far more troublesome than she had anticipated.

Shadows are omnipresent. If an opponent can use shadows to move freely and conceal their form, then it will be impossible to defend against them, whether it is reconnaissance or a sneak attack.

Even more terrifying is that this superpower is combined with the ability to control zombies. If they use the shadows to infiltrate the base and then control the zombies to start an internal conflict, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She glanced subconsciously at the broken walls and ruins flashing past the window; the piles of debris cast large shadows of varying shades, which now seemed like potential threats to her.
