Lu Chuan refused to believe in evil. Once again, he controlled Lightning One and other Corpse Puppets, unleashing all their inner potential, trying to break free from the restraints.

Boom!

The ground shook violently, erupting with a burst of roar. Under the terrifying strength of the Corpse Puppets and Ji Ruxue's telekinesis, the cement ground underfoot couldn't withstand the immense force. It cracked directly, extending out into a web-like pattern.

At this moment, no matter how much effort Lightning One and other Corpse Puppets exerted, their bodies remained motionless.

And Er Pang, capitalizing on his strength advantage, managed to briefly lift his foot, but in the next second, an invisible pull yanked him back once again.

Seeing this, a look of shock flashed across Lu Chuan's eyes.

After multiple attempts, still unable to break free, Lu Chuan had already drawn a conclusion in his mind.

The one intervening from the shadows had definitely reached the fourth tier.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to immobilize so many of his third-tier Corpse Puppets at once.

Just when Lu Chuan was at a loss, the restraint binding Lightning One and other Corpse Puppets suddenly disappeared.

The Corpse Puppets, who were struggling desperately, barely reacted, their bodies swayed, nearly tumbling to the ground.

"What's going on? Why did the restraints disappear? Could it be that the fourth-tier Evolver hidden in the dark has already left?"

Lu Chuan was extremely surprised.

The reason the restraints disappeared was naturally because Ji Ruxue had stopped.

Just now, sensing that the Invisibility Squad had gone far away, Ji Ruxue no longer needed to hold back her father's Evolved Zombies.

To avoid being discovered, Ji Ruxue quickly withdrew the telekinetic restraint and, taking advantage of the night, flew out of the residential building through the rear window.

Subsequently, Ji Ruxue accelerated with her telekinesis, rising quickly, flying away from Jiangnan City District, and returned to the farm.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan, after freeing himself from the restraint, deployed the Corpse Tide Army to search the entire Jiangnan City District, hoping to find the person in the shadows.

Lu Chuan suspected that the person who made a move in the dark and the one who fired the gun were two different groups because the person who acted secretly was a fourth-tier Evolver. Noticing his Corpse Puppets approaching, they would have the capability to retreat swiftly.

The reason the other party didn't leave but instead obstructed his Corpse Puppets was obviously to cover others' escape.

After realizing this, Lu Chuan naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. He immediately mobilized all the zombies in Jiangnan City District to conduct a search.

Regrettably, under Lu Chuan's command, the vast and mighty Corpse Tide Army, distributed throughout the city, practically turned Jiangnan City District upside down, yet yielded absolutely no results.

In the end, finding no option, Lu Chuan could only temporarily give up.

The reason Lu Chuan couldn't find Li Ying and the others is because all four had Invisibility Ability and quickly left Jiangnan City District.

The Corpse Tide Army only searched within the city; naturally, they found nothing.

Inside the farm, a look of seriousness appeared in Lu Chuan's eyes.

He originally just wanted to investigate who fired the shot in Jiangnan City District, thinking it was a survivor or an ordinary Evolver who wandered in.

But unexpectedly, he uncovered such a shocking piece of information.

Among humans, a fourth-tier Evolver had appeared, infiltrated Jiangnan City District, and even engaged with him.

What was the other party's purpose? Was it related to him?

What was the relationship between this person and the Evolver who previously stopped him from acting against Zhao Lin? Was it the same person or just similar abilities?

And since this person could ascend to the fourth tier, were there other fourth-tier Evolvers?

Did the other party come from a human Survivor Base?

For a moment, various questions and speculations emerged in Lu Chuan's mind. The sudden appearance of a fourth-tier Evolver made him feel a great sense of crisis.

Today, he had finally witnessed the true power of a fourth-tier Evolver.

Without a fourth-tier Corpse Puppet, Lu Chuan had no confidence to deal with such Evolvers.

If a fourth-tier Evolver were to find him...

Lu Chuan had a clear self-awareness.

He was no longer human but a zombie, a zombie with intelligence. Once discovered by a fourth-tier Evolver, even if he could withstand the opponent's attack, things wouldn't end well for him.

Because revealing his existence meant that even if the fourth-tier Evolver couldn't deal with him, the forces behind them, those mighty Survivor Bases, would come for him after receiving the Evolver's report.

By then, even if he didn't die, he'd have to go on the run.

He, a zombie, could survive anywhere, but what would happen to Little Qiqi? She was still so young. Without a farm full of supplies, how would she live with him, in a state of wandering?

"Sigh, have I become somewhat complacent recently?"

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan sighed inwardly.

Originally, after breaking through to the fourth tier, he was full of confidence, believing that in the Jiangnan City District region, no one could do anything to him, and that he was safe and sound.

But facing a fourth-tier Extraordinary who could immobilize his Corpse Puppets, he realized that his powers were far from sufficient.

Some third-tier Corpse Puppets had no power to resist when facing a fourth-tier Evolver.

The immobilization of Lightning One and other Corpse Puppets tonight was the best testimony.

Thankfully, he was remotely controlling the Corpse Puppets.

Once, at some future moment, if his true self were present, and the opponent immobilized the third-tier Corpse Puppets, wouldn't he become a lamb to be slaughtered?

Lu Chuan did not fear a human army's siege; he had the Corpse Tide Army. What he feared most was humans executing a decapitation strike against him.

Without the protection of powerful Corpse Puppets, he had no safety whatsoever in facing high-tier Evolvers.

"Indeed, humans cannot be underestimated. Previously, I saw too many of those useless Evolvers and wretched survivors, without realizing they were only part of humanity!"

Lu Chuan shook his head, bitterly smiling. Some humans evolved as quickly as he did. To ensure his own safety, perhaps he still needed to enhance his strength and continuously evolve.

As long as his Corpse Puppets could advance to the fourth tier, even those fourth-tier Evolvers wouldn't be something he'd dread.

Inside the bedroom, Ji Ruxue sensed her father pacing back and forth in the living room, appearing anxious and restless. She wrinkled her little nose, a hint of worry in her eyes.

It seems that tonight's incident really shocked her father.

But perhaps this was a good thing.

Now the Human Base City had already set its sights on the Jiangnan City District, yet her father was utterly unaware of it.

Tonight's incident served as a wake-up call to keep her father vigilant, ensuring he stayed watchful over Jiangnan City District and guarded against potential intruders.

Ji Ruxue furrowed her brows, recalling Li Ying and the others who had left.

She wasn't sure whether these few could deceive Jianghai Base City.

If they passed smoothly, then she and her father might still enjoy a period of peace.

It would be an excellent opportunity to develop further and swiftly enhance their powers.

By the time Jianghai Base City discovered something was amiss, they would be out of reach.
