"What’s the highest level?"
Nina Jacobs asked.
The alert level must correspond to the number of zombies.
"Level Five."
Marcellus’s expression was uglier than if he’d been crying.
"..."
Nina Jacobs walked out and ran to a window. Sure enough, she saw zombies gathering in the distance.
Keldorn was already an arid region, and the dust kicked up by the zombies filled the sky.
Yellow sand billowed toward them, and there was no telling how many zombies were hidden behind the dust cloud.
"Someone is luring zombies this way,"
Nina Jacobs said. With her Five Senses Enhancement, her vision was also improved, and she could already see something strange beneath the dust.
"What did you say?!"
Marcellus was just about to go support the people below, but when he heard Nina Jacobs, he ran back.
He stared out from the same spot and, sure enough, saw glints of light reflecting from within the vast cloud of sand and dust.
It looked like a few drones.
"That direction... could it be those bastards from Griston?!"
Marcellus cursed, then ran downstairs without a second glance.
"Looks like there’s no rest for us today,"
Nina Jacobs said with regret.
If Thaddeus Wren only had about two hundred people here, a horde this large would be a cataclysm.
Besides, considering the personnel who were out, she figured there were probably only a little over a hundred people left guarding the towers.
"Nina Jacobs! It looks like things are getting chaotic outside!"
Cordelia had already run over. "Silas Crowley and the others have all gone down. They’re asking if we should get in the car and make a run for it."
"Run?"
Nina Jacobs shook her head after hearing that.
"It’s too late to run."
If they tried to escape now, they’d most likely be surrounded.
"Then... then what do we do? With this many zombies, staying here is a death sentence too."
Cordelia’s face turned ghastly pale.
They hadn’t encountered any large-scale zombie hordes on their journey, so they had let their guard down.
Below, panicked commands could already be heard.
Thaddeus Wren was calling on all the Gold and Earth Element Superpower Users to reinforce the two towers.
"There are too many zombies! We’ll hold them off for as long as we can!"
Thaddeus Wren said.
"Captain Wren, someone discovered that the zombies were deliberately lured here!"
Marcellus ran over as soon as he saw Thaddeus Wren.
"What did you say?!"
Thaddeus Wren was furious when he heard this.
But he also knew this wasn’t the time to dwell on it.
They had to survive this wave first.
"There are Mutated Zombies. The towers will fall sooner or later."
A quiet voice spoke up beside him.
"This is the only way."
Thaddeus Wren replied without turning his head. How could he not know that?
But zombies were surging toward them from both ends of the road. They had nowhere to run.
Hiding in the towers was their only option.
Nina Jacobs was silent for a moment, then said:
"Let me give it a try. But afterward, I have something I need to ask you, Captain Wren."
"You?"
Virgil Ulrich thought he had misheard. "You? A young girl like you... have you not seen how many zombies are coming?"
"I have. It’s not that many,"
Nina Jacobs replied.
Only then did Thaddeus Wren turn to look at Nina Jacobs.
’She actually said that horde wasn’t that many? Did I mishear, or has she lost her mind?’
"Nina Jacobs, you’re not joking, are you? Even if you’re powerful..."
Cordelia tugged at the corner of Nina Jacobs’s clothes, feeling very uneasy.
Silas Crowley and the others also wanted to dissuade her, but they saw Nina Jacobs walk to the other end of the road. "There’s no time."
With a wave of her hand, she activated her Superpower.
The dust on the ground began to shift and roil, and then a wall erupted from the earth.
The wall rose higher and higher, past the height of a person, and continued to ascend.
The people around them stared up in shock at the high wall that was still rising.
"So Nina Jacobs is a Dual Element user..."
Cordelia murmured.
Nina Jacobs had never introduced herself, so they all assumed she was just a Fire Element Superpower User.
