“Exactly!”

Wesley hastily turned to Hunter. “Proceed with the plan we just discussed.”

Hunter nodded. “Understood!”

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.

Dawn was just breaking.

Cecelia was up early, gathering her entire team for the push into Sanctum City.

Timothy’s squad had risen just as early.

The two teams set out together.

By the time they reached the Western District entrance of Sanctum City, the roads were already clogged with vehicles from ability users streaming in from every direction.

Draven went to scout around. When he came back, his face was lit up. “Last night, the military went public about the crystals. They announced that the regular zombie swarm in the Eastern District has been contained, and all ability users are free to enter and hunt. The only fee is one Level 1 mutated zombie crystal per person as an entry tax…

“They even made some kind of promo video about killing mutated zombies-look, it’s playing on that giant screen over there.”

Everyone turned to look.

Sure enough, the massive LED display was running footage-specifically, Morton’s squad taking down Level 1, 2, and 3 mutated zombies.

It looked more like a hunting guide than a promo.

Dozens of vehicles belonging to ability users had pulled over, their occupants staring up at the

screen.

Cecelia could just make out the audio. “A Level 1 mutated zombie requires at least three Level 1 ability users to kill. The same ratio applies to Level 2 and Level 3. All ability users are strongly advised to form groups and cooperate-it will dramatically improve your hunting efficiency. Additionally, if you encounter a Level 4 or Level 5 mutated zombie, do not engage. Do not hesitate. Run.”

That last line was blasted in oversized subtitles and maximum volume.

Within minutes, the chatter among the gathered ability users was everywhere.

“Teamwork, huh? Guess these things really aren’t easy to solo

“Teamwork is obvious. Our squads combined can handle Level Is and 2s just fine. The real problem is the Level 4s and 5s! If the military itself is telling us to run on sight, the Eastern District must be way more dangerous than we thought.

“No kidding. They’re mutated zombies. What did you expect-a walk in the park?”

“Doesn’t matter. We have to go. I went to Dewfrom the other day looking for mutated zombies, and there were barely any left. They’ve all migrated here-concentrated in Sancturn’s Eastern District,”

“Exactly. Crystals let us level up and replenish our abilities. You’d have to be insane to pass that up.”

Danger? Everyone was scared.

But they all understood the real danger was staying weak.

With a chance like this to get stronger, very few ability users were willing to sit on the sidelines.

Better to risk it, grab the crystals, and level up fast.

Once they were powerful enough, they’d never have to fear mutated zombies again.

If anything, the broadcast only fired people up more. Ability users were practically tripping over themselves trying to get into the Eastern District.

Draven shook his head in amazement. “I recognized a bunch of faces out there. Last time we were in the Eastern District, these people were killing each other over supply crates. Now they’re shaking hands and forming squads-all for crystals.”

Cecelia wasn’t surprised.

The power gap between same-level ability users and mutated zombies was real.

Ability users needed to level up.

Ivy had spotted them. Mike’s team hadn’t actually left Sanctum City over the past few days

After finding a place to stay, they returned to the Eastern District to hunt

Unlike other users, they had known much earlier that crystals could be used for leveling and energy replenishment.

Now that the military had gone public with it, the news wasn’t great for them.

It meant hordes of competitors coming after the same crystal supply.

Mike knew exactly what his team needed: higher-level crystals, and fast.

But they’d faced a Level 4 mutated zombie before, and the only option had been to turn and
