"Fragile body?" Upon hearing the black-haired man's words, Chu Kuang couldn't help but shudder.
He simply couldn't stand the creepy, goosebump-inducing name of this ability...
But soon, Chu Kuang's expression became incredibly serious. As a top-tier martial artist, he could clearly sense the terrifying power hidden within the black-haired man's body, which now gleamed like black metal, radiating a cold metallic sheen.
It was a kind of power that made one feel agitated and furious, as though everything should be destroyed!
"Seven Deadly Sins, Wrath!" At this moment, the sarcasm and indifference in the black-haired man's voice vanished completely, replaced by an air of coldness and suppression. It was as if he had donned a black suit of armor, and his entire presence transformed into that of a warrior who had emerged from a battlefield. He glanced at Chu Kuang, then lightly touched his hands together, and spoke in a low voice: "The power of wrath will tear everything apart. Martial Madman, prepare to die!"
His voice grew louder with each word, and when the final word left his mouth, the black-haired man instantly disappeared from his spot, like a streak of black lightning, charging directly toward Chu Kuang.
"Hard? Let's see just how hard you are!" Seeing the figure of the black-haired man racing toward him, Chu Kuang felt his fighting spirit ignite. He leaped into the air, his body glowing with golden light, and charged straight toward the black-haired man.
*Boom boom boom boom!*
The next second, the black and gold figures collided violently, and the sound of intense clashes echoed through the air. The shockwaves of their battle expanded further and further, and everything in their vicinity was reduced to rubble upon contact.
But this was just the beginning...

**Meanwhile,**
"That useless bastard really can't be relied on!" Chu Xun had completely given up hope by now. He sighed, then turned to look at Vincent and Chu Hang, saying, "Get ready to fight to the death!"
"There's no other choice!" Vincent and Chu Hang nodded in unison, gathering all their strength in preparation for a final desperate struggle.
Though they knew deep down that even if they risked their lives, it was impossible to defeat two Tyrants at the same time, it was the only thing they could do now.
"Roar!" The Tyrants, being somewhat intelligent hunters, didn't rush to attack right away. Instead, they waited until the Lickers and zombie horde had completely blocked off their escape routes. Then, with a roar of fury, they led the horde toward Chu Xun and the others.
"Let's do this!" Seeing the Tyrants closing in and the countless zombies behind them, a look of determination flashed in Chu Xun's eyes. He clenched his fists, his sharp nails shooting out as he prepared for the final stand.
Vincent and Chu Hang were ready as well.
But in the chaos, they had forgotten one very important person!
*Tap tap tap!*
*Boom boom boom boom!*
At the moment of life and death, a series of intense gunfire and cannon blasts suddenly rang out. A barrage of firelight shot from the building behind Chu Xun and the others, raining down upon the zombie horde like a violent storm.
The heavy gunfire and cannon blasts caused terrifying shockwaves in an instant. Even the Tyrant elites, which were immune to most physical attacks, were forced to slow down significantly under the overwhelming impact of the firestorm, unable to advance as swiftly.
As for the other zombies, whether normal zombies or Lickers, they were torn apart in an instant by the bullet and shell barrage.
However, the Lickers weren't stupid. They quickly found areas of safety. Red shadows darted through the chaos, using the Tyrants and Tyrant elites as shields to protect themselves, moving forward with them.
Meanwhile, the horde of regular zombies continued to surge forward like an unstoppable wave. Though they were easily torn apart by bullets and artillery, their sheer numbers helped distract the firepower, making it easier for the Tyrants to approach.
In short, the gunfire and artillery barrage had temporarily alleviated the danger for Chu Xun and his group, but it didn't free them from danger!
"Get inside!" At that moment, Yang Ling's urgent voice rang out from the base building. The group turned around to see that Yang Ling had somehow already opened the main door, now calling for them to come in.
But Yang Ling's face was pale, and he looked extremely anxious. He was gasping for breath, shouting loudly, "Hurry up! The base's defensive weapons don't have much ammo left. We won't be able to hold them off much longer!"
*Roar!* At the same time, the Tyrant elite seemed to sense the change. It let out a furious roar and suddenly swung its massive claws in front of its chest, as if to shield its heart and head. With this, it stomped toward Chu Xun and the others at full speed.
Despite all the gunfire and artillery, the Tyrant elite continued its relentless charge, completely unfazed. Seeing this, Chu Xun was struck by awe.
This was only a near-3rd-tier dangerous creature! It wasn't hard to imagine how easily a 3rd-tier danger beast could wipe out an army of ten thousand!
"Retreat!" But there was no time to be amazed. Chu Xun, Vincent, and the others immediately reacted, running toward the base's main door.
At this moment, they were truly sprinting for their lives, running faster than they had ever run before. But even so, they were slightly late. Just as they were about to reach the door, the heavy gunfire and artillery suddenly ceased.
"Dammit, no ammo left, hurry up! I'll close the door!" With the ammo depleted, there was nothing left to stop the Tyrants and Tyrant elites. Yang Ling's face changed drastically as he shouted, quickly manipulating the electronic locks of the door.
*Click click!*
The heavy three-meter thick alloy doors slowly began to close with the sound of metal grinding.
"Move faster! Once the door starts closing, it won't open again for a while. Don't get left outside!" Yang Ling shouted again.
*Roar!* Meanwhile, without the constant barrage of gunfire to block them, the zombie horde regained its freedom. The two Tyrants and the Lickers behind them surged forward at high speed, closing in on Chu Xun and the others. The horde followed them in a flood-like rush.
"Safe zone!" Among the three, Chu Hang, who had transformed into a shadow, was the fastest. The door had only just closed halfway when he dashed through, reverted to his human form, collapsed to the ground, and gasped for air.
He was utterly exhausted!
Next, came the Alien, who had grown significantly larger after devouring several crystals. His speed had also greatly increased. Like a black lightning bolt, he dashed through the door and waited for Chu Xun.
Finally, Chu Xun, though slower than Chu Hang and the Alien, was still faster than Vincent. Since he had been closer to the door, he soon rushed inside as well.
*Roar!* At the same time, the Tyrant elite, seeing its prey escaping, became completely enraged. It let out a furious roar and charged toward Vincent, its claws raised.
"Dammit!" During the earlier battle, Vincent had already been injured, and he didn't possess the same monstrous healing abilities as Chu Xun. As a result, his speed had been affected.
This was no ordinary moment, and even a slight delay in speed could cost him his life. Seeing the door slowly closing ahead, Vincent cursed under his breath.
He wasn't cursing Yang Ling for closing the door too fast. He knew that if the door hadn't been closed so quickly, the Tyrant would've been able to get through and kill them all.
He cursed himself, because now, all he could do was watch helplessly as the door closed and he couldn't do anything about it!
*Snap!*
However, in this life-and-death moment, a pair of pale, delicate hands suddenly appeared between the closing door's gap and pushed with all their might. The immense force caused the door to slow down just slightly.
At the same time, the immense pressure caused deep bloodstains to appear on those delicate hands, and the wounds soon began to crack open, releasing a faint red flow of blood. It was clear that the owner of these hands had used tremendous strength to temporarily hold the door.
"Hurry up!" Gritting his teeth, Chu Xun put all his strength into preventing the door from closing. Vincent quickly rolled through the gap and into safety.
Behind him, the Tyrant elite swung its claws, aiming directly at the door!
*Boom!*
When Vincent reached safety, Chu Xun immediately released his grip, and with a loud crash, the massive gate slammed shut.
The next second, a louder crash echoed from outside the door, followed by violent shaking. Dust poured from the door's joints and covered the ground.
Soon, the loud banging noises faded. The Tyrant had seemingly given up and retreated.
Listening to the heavy footsteps gradually fade, Chu Xun and the others collapsed onto the ground, then exchanged a relieved smile.
They had finally escaped death!
