Chapter 39 Zombie Hunter

Several people were dumbfounded, some not sure what was going on.

"Ali?!"

Ji Wanwan just felt heartbroken and tears fell down.

The next second, the girl curled up on the ground suddenly raised her head and opened her eyes.

These were eyes that Ji Wanwan had never seen in her two lifetimes.

The girl's eyes, once as lively as black grapes, now shone like shattered fiery red glass, radiating a brilliant light in the darkness, seeming both real and illusory, incredibly beautiful...

She slowly stood up from the ground and swept her calm eyes over the people in front of her.

Her face was clearly the same Xia Li that everyone was familiar with, but her expression was so cold, as if she was looking at a group of insignificant ants.

This appearance is obviously different from those low-level zombies.

Ji Xing and Xu Siming's muscles were tense and they were on guard. If Xia Li went crazy and hurt people, they would immediately retreat with Ji Wanwan and Qi Hao.

"Ali?"

Looking at her friend's familiar yet unfamiliar face, Ji Wanwan was filled with anxiety.

Hearing her voice, the girl turned her head mechanically and looked over with an expressionless face.

Ji Wanwan couldn't help but take a step forward: "Are you okay?"

The girl remained silent and looked down at her hands.

The wound on his right hand had healed at some point, and there wasn't even a scar left.

Unlike those mutated zombies whose skin is gray, ugly and disgusting, Xia Li's skin is fair and delicate, and his muscle lines are perfect and smooth, as if he has been reborn.

She raised her head, blinked her eyes and looked at the moonlight outside the window, and suddenly her vision became extremely clear.

The bloodthirsty feeling that had just filled my mind was slowly fading away, and my mind felt clearer and calmer than ever before.

Come back to your senses.

She raised her head and looked at Ji Wanwan with her beautiful eyes, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "I... seem to be fine..."

Ji Wanwan was stunned at first, and then great joy filled her mind.

The corners of her mouth curled up, and she immediately smiled with tears streaming down her face: "That's good, that's the best..."

"elder sister!!"

Seeing that Ji Wanwan was about to reach out to give Xia Li a hug, Ji Xing's heart tightened and he immediately called her.

My sister and Xia Li are close friends, but he is not.

His sister would be so overjoyed at his best friend's awakening that she would lose her mind, but he wouldn't!

Xia Li is obviously no longer a normal human being!

Who knows if she is an evolved zombie disguised as an ordinary person?

Ji Wanwan knew what her brother was thinking. She turned and looked at him: "Xingxing, don't be afraid."

When Ali stood up, Ji Wanwan had already noticed that Ali had become stronger.

If Ali really wanted to hurt them, there would be no need to pretend.

She walked forward and took Xia Li's right hand, taking a closer look. "The injury has indeed healed, but your hand is so cold. Ah Li, do you feel any discomfort?"

Xia Li narrowed his eyes, flexed his fingers, and shook his head: "No, I just feel full of energy, as if I have endless energy."

This didn't sound fake, but the temperature of this hand was definitely not that of a living person. Ji Wanwan pursed her lips solemnly and said, "To be on the safe side, I'll give you an equivalent treatment."

Xia Li nodded slightly: "Okay."

Ji Wanwan placed her hand on the back of Xia Li's right hand, and soon, a faint fluorescent light lit up.

[Treatment target: Zombie Hunter]

[Mental Strength: 100%, Physical Strength: 100%]

[The other party does not need to be treated]

Ji Wanwan was slightly startled when the system prompt sounded in her ears: [Zombie Hunter?]

System: [Zombie Hunter: Neither human nor zombie, a living dead with extraordinary combat power, a ruthless zombie harvester]

Ji Wanwan was shocked.

After a pause of two seconds, she regained her composure. [Could it be understood that Ali's body lost its vitality due to the zombie virus infection, but the concentration of the virus she was infected with was low, and the virus and her own immune system achieved a delicate balance in resisting each other, without damaging her brain. Therefore, she has become the current state where she retains both human intelligence and zombie combat power?]

System: [The system is currently unable to answer this question, and the host needs to explore it on their own.]

Ji Wanwan: [……]

Forget it, it doesn’t matter anymore.

At least I know that Ali and I are in the same camp.

Now, the team has gained another powerful fighter!

On the other side, Xu Siming was silently observing Xia Li.

He found that although Xia Li still retained her wisdom, she seemed to have become much weaker in human emotions.

If I were to make a comment, Xia Li at this moment was more like an emotionless simulated robot.

He wanted to remind Ji Wanwan, but seeing how happy she was, he couldn't bear to say anything more.

Forget it, just be careful of Xia Li. We all live together anyway, and we will have the chance to remind Wanwan in the future. There is no need to stay with her right now.

After sensing everything, Ji Wanwan withdrew her hand and said, "A-Li, you're fine now, but your heartbeat is much faster than an average person's. When we get back to the shelter, can I take some of your blood for research?"

Xia Li nodded: "Of course."

“Ka-ka…”

The sound of the ice breaking was particularly clear in the silent night.

Only then did everyone remember that Mother Xia had been frozen into an ice sculpture and imprisoned in a space barrier.

As time passed and Mother Xia struggled, cracks began to appear in the ice. It would not be long before the entire ice would break free and shatter.

Xia Li glanced sideways at his mother, but the sadness and pain in her beautiful eyes were gone. To be more precise, there was no emotional turmoil.

After just one glance, Xia Li looked away.

She looked past Ji Wanwan at Xu Siming and said in a slightly cold voice, "Give me the machete."

Xu Siming was slightly stunned.

After coming to his senses, he immediately threw the machete in his hand to Xia Li.

Xia Li took the knife and didn't even let Ji Wanwan and Xu Siming withdraw their superpowers. He just chopped it down with a handsome move, completely shattering the space barrier and the ice layer.

Qi Hao, the only ordinary person present, opened his mouth wide for a moment and looked at Xia Li in astonishment.

What a... powerful sword!

The others were no less shocked than Qi Hao, but their expressions were not as obvious as Qi Hao's.

The moment Mother Xia regained her freedom, she rushed towards Ji Wanwan, the closest living person to her.

As a zombie hunter, Xia Li did not give her the chance to get close to Ji Wanwan.

The knife flashed, and Mother Xia's head and body were separated. Before everyone could even see how Xia Li drew the knife, Mother Xia's roar had already stopped.

Due to inertia, Mother Xia's body still maintained the forward posture, while the ferocious head had already flown into the air.

Ji Wanwan subconsciously reached out to catch Mother Xia's body.

Xia Li tapped his toes lightly, easily jumped into the air, and held his mother's head in his arms.

After landing, Xia Li threw the knife at Xu Siming with one hand, held his head with the other hand, and turned to walk towards Ji Wanwan.

She took her mother's body from Ji Wanwan's arms, and a tear rolled down her eye.

It’s strange. I don’t feel sad, but why do I want to cry so much?

It's no longer a mother, it's just a zombie, so why do we still hope that it can be decent?

“Tick…”

Tears fell to the ground, Xia Li gently laid Xia's mother's body flat on the ground, and arranged her head neatly.

When he stood up again, Xia Li's tears had dried.

From this moment on, she is no longer her mother's little chestnut, she is an emotionless zombie harvester.
