Ji Zan was silent. He decided to deal with the man’s body first. Otherwise, the smell of blood would attract zombies. He looked at Fu Gui and stopped in his tracks.

Fu Shinan saw this and pulled Fu Gui to the side.”Be good, let’s come over here first…

Fu Gui did not seem to like Ji Zan either. He rolled his big dog eyes and squatted beside Fu Shinan, pretending that he is invisible.

Fu Shinan looked at Ji Zan, who was dealing with the corpse, and looked at Fu

Gui warily. Fu Shinan couldn’t help but ask, “You… Are you afraid of dogs?” “Why would I be afraid of dogs?” Ji Zan raised his head. “You must be joking!”

Fu Shinan nearly chuckled. His fear was so obvious, okay? Maybe he had been bitten by a dog when he was a child, leaving behind a traumatic memory. But she didn’t have time to mock Ji Zan because the next thing she knew, she embarked on the long road of strengthening once more. Even with Ji Zan assisting, the success rate of strengthening was high, but the number of zombies outside kept increasing, and her defense continued to drop. Up and down, she went, the whole process leaving her feeling numb.

Slowly, Fu Shinan’s stamina started to lag behind, but this wasn’t over yet. Previously, it had been a drop of ten points, but now, it suddenly dropped by a hundred points. This speed was beyond her capacity to strengthen, and it left her visibly anxious. If her defense dropped to zero, this building would break, and they would be doomed.

At this critical moment, Fu Shinan was sweating profusely, and her mind suddenly rang with the system’s notification.

[Congratulations, host. The strengthening skill has been upgraded to 108%, and your mental ability has reached level 2!

With this bold idea in mind, Fu Shinan said, “Ji Zan, can you push me onto the roof?”

Ji Zan looked at her. “Are you sure? The roof already has a few zombies crawling on it.”

Fu Shinan nodded. “Let’s give it a try. Maybe I can control the zombies, but I need to be up there, watching them.”

Ji Zan contemplated for a moment and asked, “Are you confident? If it doesn’t work, and there’s a hole up there…”

“Either way, let’s give it a shot. We’re out of options. My defense can’t keep up,” Fu Shinan replied. She knew this was a risky move, but it was better than waiting for death.

“Alright.” Ji Zan stood up and climbed up to the roof. He first dealt with the few isolated zombies up there, snapping their necks one by one.

Fu Shinan had goosebumps when she heard the crisp sound of bones breaking. Fortunately, they were teammates. If Ji Zan was her enemy, it would be too terrifying. Just as she was thinking about it, she felt a tight grip on her waist and she was lifted up by Ji Zan.

“Hold tight.” After saying that, Ji Zan brought Fu Shinan to the top of the building.

Ji Zan’s speed was very fast, and it was also very easy for him to climb up with a person. The veins on his arms were bulging, and every movement was like flowing water. The feeling of strength was simply bursting.

Fu Shinan suddenly understood that Ye Chun and Bai Lianhua wanted Ji Zan. How should she put it? Such a powerful man was really the best of the best.

Just as Fu Shinan was lost in her thoughts, the two of them had already reached the top of the building. There were still many zombies crawling towards them. Ji Zan quickly punched out and broke a few zombies ‘heads.

Fu Shinan also took this opportunity to stabilize her body. Then, he immediately looked into the distance. As expected, not far away, he saw a lone zombie howling at the sky.

“Ji Zan, cover me. I’ll see if I can chase away the Zombie King.”Fu Shinan confirmed her target and closed her eyes. She tried to connect with the zombie with her mental power.

In her mind, a crosshair-like symbol quickly appeared, able to move with her field of vision, and it ultimately settled on the Zombie King.

Fu Shinan immediately chose to connect, and she heard a prompt indicating a successful connection. Following this, she felt a strange sensation in her body that nearly caused her to fall, but Ji Zan was there to support her. However, she quickly discovered a new perspective—this was the Zombie King’s viewpoint. She began to experiment with controlling it.

It’s unclear whether the Zombie King’s abilities were lacking or if Fu Shinan’s mental control was too strong, but this time, there was a rapid response. The Zombie King let out another howl, sharp and brief, distinctly different from before. As for the other zombies still advancing, they first halted in their tracks, then slowly turned around and began to retreat..
