Looking at the ignited vige, Wang Tao felt a bit embarrassed as he touched his nose.
It was his first time fighting with the fireball special ability, and he had failed to control his strength, setting the small vige aze.
At that moment, Wang Tao’s walkie-talkie crackled to life.
"Sss... Wang Tao. There are mes outside; it looks like quite a few buildings have been set on fire. Did you do that?"
It was Ding Yuqin’s voice, sounding somewhat anxious.
"Ahem, a little ident, nothing serious,"
Wang Tao exined.
"Phew—that’s good; I thought you encountered some danger..."
Ding Yuqin breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Tao hadn’t shown off his newly-learned fireball ability in front of everyone; Ding Yuqin and the others thought Wang Tao was using an Awakening...
Firelight was very noticeable at night, and although zombies naturally feared fire, they were also attracted to the light.
In a short moment, the vige had attracted arge horde of zombies.
Wang Tao didn’t leave; these zombies were perfect for him to practice on.

After he had killed all the zombies that were attracted here, Wang Tao had essentially mastered the fireball ability. There would be no more situations like just now—setting an abandoned vige on fire just to kill a few ordinary zombies.
"Let’s go back."
As the mes were gradually extinguished by the rain, Wang Tao walked towards the location of the train with Jiang Shixue and Lightning.
Just as they were halfway there, the walkie-talkie crackled again, but this time it was Duan Xuchang.
"Attention all units, a Night Demon has been spotted inside the train station!"
"Night Demon!"
Wang Tao’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran back.
When Wang Tao returned to the vicinity of the train, all the machines that had been clearing obstacles were gone, reced by ten powered armors, several infantry fighting vehicles, main battle tanks, and soldiers in mechanical exoskeletons. Above, there were two Wu Zhi helicopters hovering.
"Where’s the Night Demon?"
Wang Tao immediately asked.
One of the powered armors turned to face Wang Tao.
"Inside the ruins of the train station, our people killed a Night Demon. It seems like there’s a Night Demon’s Nest in there, but we’re still not clear on the precise location of the entrance; we’re searching for it."
For most people, killing a Night Demon didn’t carry many benefits. After all, Night Demons are difficult to deal with and don’t have Crystal Cores. Usually, if they encounter a Night Demon, they would flee if they could, and fight only if they absolutely must.
However, for Duan Xuchang’s military force, fleeing was obviously not an option, and they had the capability to deal with Night Demons. So, upon discovering a Night Demon, Duan Xuchang immediately stopped the obstacle clearance operation, mobilized his force, and prepared to find and eliminate the Night Demon’s Nest!
This train station was in a rather remote location with fewer zombies around. Even if there was a Night Demon’s Nest, the number of Night Demons wouldn’t berge, so it should not be too difficult for them to clear it out. With theirbat power, even a Level 4 Night Demon could be easily handled.
"Let’s go together."
Wang Tao offered.
"Okay, I’ll share the visuals with you."
Ding Yuqin and the others also came out, with Wei Zhenguo holding a smartphone that disyed an overhead infrared thermal imaging view.
Although zombies’ bodies don’t have much temperature, any object with a temperature above absolute zero radiates infrared light. As long as there’s a temperature difference between the zombies and their environment, the thermal imager can detect them.
Of course, the thermal imaging view isn’t like the X-ray vision you’d see in some of Wang Tao’s games where walls and ruins wouldn’t block the view. Still, zombies weren’t likely to deliberately hide from this, so they could be found as soon as they appeared.
Wang Tao found this quite interesting and studied it carefully.
In terms of detection, this was far inferior to Wang Tao’s Perception Ability. After all, Wang Tao’s Perception Ability was equivalent to X-ray vision.
Infrared thermal imaging was a bit like nt Affinity, easy to be limited.
But... infrared thermal imaging could see very far!
In theory, as long as the object was big enough, infrared thermal imaging could see infinitely far, like being able to see the sun, the moon, etc.
But most zombies were notrge, and various other factors could interfere, so the range was definitely not that extensive.
ording to Duan Xuchang, the thermal imager on the Wu Zhi helicopter could detect zombies from over ten kilometers away.
The thermal imagers within their powered armors could see up to five kilometers, and the ones carried by exoskeleton soldiers could see two to three kilometers.
In terms of distance, this was far superior to Wang Tao’s Perception and nt Affinity!
Despite various limitations, in this situation, it was still very useful.
It didn’t take long for Wang Tao to spot a yellow figure in the visuals, with movements characteristic of a Night Demon!
"Found it! Right over there... Let’s go!"
At the same time, Duan Xuchang gave the coordinates.
He took 3 powered armors and 8 infantry fighting vehicles there.
The other personnel, including the tanks, stayed around the train. After all, the train was long and big, containing many survivors who needed arge military force for protection.
Whirr—
Under Duan Xuchang’s lead, blue mes shot out from the back of their four powered armors as they swiftly glided across the ground. Any obstacles they encountered were smashed apart by therge feet of the powered armors, leaving shallow grooves in the ground.
Wang Tao watched with envy; as soon as he got to Changhe Base, he was determined to find a way to get a powered armor to y with!

Probably the sound of the helicopter attracted the Night Demon; as Wang Tao ran towards the coordinates, he saw more and more Night Demons appearing on the screen.
