The Primordial Pearl was restrained by Madam Xu's Dagger, its power entirely devoted to utilizing the functions of the dagger.
The destructive force was immense, but Zheng Yifan could clearly sense that the Primordial Pearl was absorbing Vital Energy at an alarming rate, far beyond what Madam Xu's Dagger could completely counteract. By the time the Vital Energy was replenished, Madam Xu's Dagger would inevitably be unable to fully dissipate the power of the Primordial Pearl, resulting in a loss of energy.
At that point, the Primordial Pearl would conserve all its strength and transform it into its own power, further enhancing the System. By then, it wouldn't be something that Madam Xu's Dagger could easily consume.
Zheng Yifan shouted angrily.
"Everyone, hurry up! Move at full speed and don't waste any time!" His voice was filled with urgency.
The situation was clear; they had to reach Deep City quickly to place the Primordial Pearl in a suitable location before it fully evolved. Otherwise, they would have to go through a series of frustrating tasks just to secure it.
What was most concerning was not knowing how difficult those tasks would be. The situation in Qianyuan Village was unique; the Primordial Pearl had effectively sealed its own fate by depriving the Survivors of resources that could have helped them grow stronger, leaving them with no chance of survival.
In such circumstances, it had chosen self-preservation mode, completely retracting its power.
This was a case of too many unforeseen factors.
Zheng Yifan wanted to slap himself. If Madam Xu's Dagger had just delayed taking the Primordial Pearl, they wouldn't be facing this problem now.
Ultimately, it was because he wanted to know the properties of the Primordial Pearl. More importantly, it felt like buying something; even though he already knew what he had purchased, there was always an irresistible urge to unbox it as soon as it arrived.
Now they were experiencing that same feeling, but it weighed even heavier on them. There was nothing quite as distressing as this situation below.
They wanted to get everything done immediately. The convoy sped forward.
At the front was the off-road vehicle driven by Zheng Yifan, who appeared once again on the roof of the car. The Adamantium Shield was firmly in his hand, and his gaze was as sharp as a biting cold wind, fixed on the road ahead.
The convoy had reached its maximum speed, with several sports cars that Zheng Yifan had brought leading the way. A loudspeaker blared as they forged ahead.
They were moving at breakneck speed; if there were high-speed trains nearby, they would surely be outpaced.
The vehicles in this Apocalyptic World were performing at their peak. Sometimes, adversity truly tests a person's strength; they had never moved this fast or operated with such astonishing efficiency before.
But now, the weight of their mission loomed heavily behind them, demanding they push even harder, faster—faster still.
Only by doing so could they achieve their goals.
When they set their sights on this destination, it was time to unleash all their power.
Driving at such speeds on the highway significantly enhanced the car's grip on the road. All their strength was directed toward moving forward.
Their speed was incredible; three to four hundred miles per hour was already the minimum.
Despite the rapid pace, Zheng Yifan remained focused ahead, ready to attack any enemies that might appear in front of him.
He radiated a brilliant light, a glow from the Primordial Pearl absorbing Vital Energy, propelling him forward at an astonishing speed.
The street was originally filled with vehicles, but after the lead vehicle cleared the way, they all pulled to the side.
The lead vehicle moved even faster, and the cleanup had already begun in the distance.
The long-range weapon vehicles were positioned at the front this time; they were not at the back. They were there to deal with the Zombies.
Now that they had entered the Zombie-Free Zone, Zombies could be seen on the streets. Their figures frequently appeared along both sides of the road.
The Firearm Esper carried a large quantity of ammunition, and with Supply vehicles following behind, they could easily handle the situation. Each person had a hundred thousand bullets. They were instructed not to fire recklessly.
It was essential to ensure accuracy. The Zombies they faced now were all low-level Fellows, so dense Thermal Power was unnecessary.
This was also a training exercise in preparation for real combat. Who could guarantee hitting a target at such fleeting speeds amidst a densely packed horde of Zombies?
Only Superpowered Individuals could accomplish this task. They were heroes, whether in the future or present.
Zheng Yifan was at the forefront, fully focused. Zombies frequently appeared ahead. He took down all High-Level Zombies and any Fellow that couldn't be dispatched with a single bullet.
Avatars of the Believers flew out one after another, targeting those Zombies.
If he encountered any Zombies above Fourth Stage or Mutated Zombies, he would even use his Adamantium Shield to annihilate them with overwhelming force.
He had both the strength and necessity for this now. As they sped along, if the vehicles ahead stopped suddenly, those behind would have no time to brake. Therefore, it was crucial to maintain an unobstructed path; there could be no mistakes up front.
This was the first time they encountered such a situation during their march, and it was a necessary training exercise.
Now the training continued. With a fierce intent, Zheng Yifan's strength was the greatest. He was also the most formidable. His target attacks on the Zombies were the most aggressive.
However, in actual combat, they encountered a relatively high number of High-Level Zombies, but there were almost none above Fourth Stage.
Most Zombies had already established their own territories, and they would move within their domains.
The majority of Advanced Zombies had long been attracted to the seaside.
Zheng Yifan and his team were heading to Deep City, where there were still many Zombies. That place was the most terrifying.
He was now prepared to face a large number of Advanced Zombies.
Everyone else was also ready.
The rapid advance brought with it a heightened sense of alertness for battle.
The number of Zombies they encountered was not very high. This clearly indicated that it was merely the calm before the storm.
In the past, they could encounter many Zombies. Now, there were almost none left.
The Firearm Espers faced the situation with the greatest ease. They only needed to shoot at moving targets.
They were simply moving, and at a very fast speed, which was a real challenge.
The place where the bullets went out was different from the shooting position. The enemy targets were still on the move.
What was most frustrating was that the wind speed varied while they were moving, further complicating the shooting.
There was a method of synchronized shooting, which involved moving parallel to the opponent at the same speed, effectively making it seem as if neither side was moving.
Only in such situations was shooting appropriate.
And now? Their speed had increased significantly, making the difficulty of shooting rise sharply.
The warriors were already feeling the strain. Zheng Yifan noticed that many people were missing their targets while shooting.
In fact, many Zombies had been overlooked.
Those overlooked Zombies had already been filtered through countless warriors, and in the end, it was only the Superpowered Individuals with long-range attacks who managed to deal with them using their Super Ability Attacks. Their attacks were aimed at locked targets. (To be continued)
