The road outside was still empty, but the distant ground had begun trembling.
The zombies were not close enough to be seen. However, the vibration was already passing through the earth.
"Little Wolf," Leng Pan called.
Shade emerged from behind Lu Hao.
The wolf had remained near the group while the survivors evacuated, but the moment Leng Pan spoke, he understood what she wanted.
He raised his head and released a long howl.
The sound spread through Qinghe Base.
The controlled survivors hesitated.
It only lasted for a second, but Leng Pan felt the command network weaken.
Little Vine reacted as well. Its leaves rose, and the roots around Leng Pan's arm pointed directly toward Captain Wei.
"The controller is using his ability core to strengthen the signal," Leng Pan said. "If we separate him from the network, the others might stop."
"Do not kill him unless necessary," Commander Han said. "Captain Wei has served this base since it was established."
