Rumble!

The evolver controlling Qing Feng's expression slightly changed. With the Qing Feng swirling around him, several Wind Blade Tornadoes were unleashed, violently blasting apart the three gigantic incoming fireballs. The explosions were deafening, and flames soared into the sky.

The evolver was pushed back tens of meters by the powerful shockwave before barely stabilizing his stance.

The intense pain from his body made the evolver's face look extremely grim.

Looking at the continuous incoming fireballs below, the evolver controlling Qing Feng found it difficult to hold on any longer and advised, "Captain, why don't we retreat for now? There's always another chance. We can make her pay next time."

Due to the earlier battle with the Fire-breathing Zombie, they were already injured, with burns from the Fire Net all over their bodies. Now, having to constantly evade attacks exacerbated their injuries and deteriorated their condition.

If this stalemate continued, they would surely face total annihilation.

Upon hearing this, despite the desire to retreat, Captain Lin felt unwilling when things had reached this point.

Remembering his repeated assurances to the top command, full of confidence that he could complete the mission... returning in such a sorry state would disgrace the ace squadron.

Moreover, this time, not only did Sky Squad suffer significant losses, with many of their comrades fallen, but the three Elite Squads sent by top command to assist also faced heavy casualties due to his commands to assault the residential area.

If he returned like this, how would he explain it to top command? How would Jianghai Base City view him and Sky Squad?

Once back at the Imperial Capital, when accountability was enforced, even the title of ace squadron could be lost.

Such an outcome was something he couldn't accept.

If it weren't for that little girl's desperate resistance, how could Sky Squad fall to such a state?

Captain Lin looked coldly at the houses below, his eyes full of hatred.

To make amends, the only way was to capture that little girl.

As long as she was brought back, everything could be salvaged...

"Brothers, let's fight once more!"

"Are you content to go back like this? Sky Squad's reputation can't be ruined just like that! Otherwise, how can we face our fallen brothers?"

Captain Lin's face twisted into a grimace, his eyes full of resolve. Then he looked at the two teammates not far away and said through gritted teeth.

This little girl was an evolver with the ability to control zombies, a major asset to humanity. Whether to study her ability or to utilize her against zombies... bringing her back to the Imperial Capital would be a monumental contribution.

Once the hidden threat to Jianghai Base City was eliminated, they'd surely be welcomed back, even if it cost them three Evolutionary Squads.

Upon returning to the Imperial Capital, all failures of Sky Squad would be erased, and the benefits gained would be countless. Honor and status would be generously granted by the Empire.

And the reputation of Sky Squad's ace title would become even more renowned!

Hearing this, the remaining two were initially stunned, completely unexpected that the captain was still insistent at this juncture. However, remembering what the captain just said, they exchanged a glance, eyes flickering.

"Captain, you mean?"

The evolver controlling Qing Feng hesitated for a moment and asked.

In this situation, the only way to turn the tide seemed to be...

In the next moment, they saw Captain Lin pulling out a vial from his waist, removing the lid. He glanced at the two and said, "If we capture that little girl, it's a great feat, and we won't be punished. In fact, none of the honors or positions you aspire to will be missing. Think it over."

Then, without hesitation, Captain Lin gulped down the serum.

Upon witnessing this, the remaining two members of the Sky Squad hesitated for a moment. In the next moment, with a flash of determination in their eyes, they followed Captain Lin and also gulped down the serum from their waists.

After consuming the serum, in just a few seconds, the powerful effects began to surge wildly within Captain Lin.

Initially still in a relatively normal state, Captain Lin suddenly let out a painful groan.

Amidst the pain, his slightly bent figure began to tremble uncontrollably, with all his muscles spasming at that moment.

Bang!

Suddenly, as if the serum took effect, Captain Lin's trembling body rapidly began to expand until he grew into a terrifying giant over twenty feet tall.

His joints were thick, limbs like giant pillars, and with muscles knotted and robust, he looked like a mountain.

At the same time, his existing injuries rapidly improved, with the charred black scales burned by fire starting to grow frantically, gradually large enough to cover the entire body surface like a thick, metallic scale armor.

Raising his eyes slightly, the madness and fury were apparent in Captain Lin's reddened gaze.

The next moment, the ever-rising aura around him finally surpassed the threshold from third to fourth stage, with a frightful aura sweeping in all directions. A pair of black claws, like long knives, moved slightly, gleaming and emitting explosive sounds tearing through the surrounding air.

At this moment, it seemed as though even the surrounding space was trembling slightly due to Captain Lin's movements, with boundless murderous intent soaring skyward.

The two remaining Sky Squad members also experienced massive transformations in their aura, their power surging to the fourth stage, causing a violent demeanor as they faced overwhelming power with no outlet.

Meanwhile, inside the house.

Zhao Lin, lying in a pool of blood behind Ji Ruxue, whose body had already turned cold, suddenly underwent changes, with flesh buds secretly growing from the injury through her waist, beginning to connect and slowly heal the wound.

Next moment, as if a suction force emerged from Zhao Lin's body, Energy Factors from all directions started rushing toward her.

In an instant, the wound on Zhao Lin's waist began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, soon restored completely, with the skin smooth and showing no signs of having been damaged.

Meanwhile, Zhao Lin's once pallid complexion gradually became rosy as her wounds healed.

Suddenly, Zhao Lin's fingers twitched, her consciousness returning, and as she slowly awakened, she turned her blood-stained face to look around.

Seeing the familiar house, her initially confused eyes gradually cleared, as the scenes before death replayed in her mind.

Little Qiqi!

The next moment, Zhao Lin's expression changed slightly, concerned for Little Qiqi's safety. She used her arms to support her body with difficulty, wobbling as she stood up.
