Eve turned around with difficulty as she continued to fall to avoid hitting the ground on her back.

A few meters below was a pile of rugged and crisscrossed rubble. A zombie was crawling on all fours on the ruins of the stairs, its scarlet eyes licking Eve's face inch by inch with malicious light.

But just before Eve was about to hit the ground, something soft suddenly wrapped around her waist. She knew what it was, raised her head slightly, and then fell into a slightly hard embrace.

Qi used one of his tails to wrap around Eve, and with the other he hooked onto a protruding iron bar on the top of her head, and the two of them barely stopped in mid-air.

"Seven, move to the side..." Eve was about to command Seven when she suddenly felt something was wrong. She lowered her head and saw two half-broken arms.

Eve: “???”

"You..." She took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm, "Where's your arm?"

Qi naturally didn't answer her, and looked down silently.

Eve followed his gaze and saw the new zombie holding two hand segments in its mouth, chewing them with gusto: "Small, small."

Eve: “…”

This dead guy seemed to be eating her food with great relish.

"Seven, go down," Eve's voice was sinister, "I'm going to cut it."

But Qi did not immediately follow Eve's order. He looked at her hesitantly and swung his long tail slightly. Eve only felt her body lifted up a few inches - he wanted to send her back to the fourth floor first.

Eve raised her eyebrows, and the next moment, she suddenly raised her hand and knocked hard on the long tail tied around her waist. Qi was unable to defend herself, and the long tail suddenly loosened, and Eve's body broke away and fell straight to the ground!

seven:"!"

He immediately swung his tail, trying to re-roll Eve, but the latter didn't even look at him, her cat eyes narrowed slightly, locking onto the zombie below.

“Bang!”

She bumped into a zombie head-on. The zombie obviously didn't expect that a human being would "throw itself into its arms". It was stunned for a second, then reacted, with joy in its eyes. It immediately spat out the hand bones that it had gnawed into pieces, and opened its mouth wide to bite Eve!

Eve had just recovered from the dizziness of the collision. When she looked up, the zombie's stinking mouth was right in front of her. Before she could make a move, she felt a sudden pain in her shoulder as it was pierced by the zombie's sharp fangs!

"howl--!"

The moment Eve's blood gushed out, Qi's shocked and angry howl came from above his head.

The zombie also noticed Qi. As if to show off, it pulled hard and tore off a piece of Eve's flesh. It swallowed it in two mouthfuls. Its fishy yellow teeth were dripping with blood and it let out a ghostly laugh.

"Is it delicious?" A soft voice suddenly sounded.

The zombie was stunned by the sudden cold feeling on its eyelids. Eve was looking at it with a smile, with her right hand raised next to its head, an iron axe pinched between her fingertips, the sharp tip just touching its eyeball.

"If you eat anything you don't like, you'll get a stomachache," she said softly. "Next time... don't touch other people's things."

Immediately, Eve reached forward, and the iron axe pierced the zombie's eyeball!

“Puff!”

Blood instantly erupted like fireworks. Eve didn't even try to dodge, letting the blood with a strong fishy smell splash on her face. Her snow-white skin was covered with bright red, but her emerald eyes became brighter and brighter, reflecting a charming light in the darkness.

But that dazzling light was actually the firefly hovering in the swamp. Once you were attracted to it, you would only need to take a step to fall into the abyss.

"roar!!!"

The zombie howled in pain and shook its head desperately, trying to throw Eve down, but the latter clung to it tightly, like a soft but tough dodder, tightly binding the zombie.

The smile on her lips grew wider, and a crazy color rose in her eyes as she looked at the zombie with joy and satisfaction.

"Does it hurt?" A hint of indignation lurked beneath the calmness of his voice. "It must be very painful, right?"

She slowly turned the iron axe around. The zombie screamed and howled in pain, but Eve turned a deaf ear to it and looked at it with a smile in her eyes.

It’s not enough, it’s still not enough.

It needs to hurt a little more.

After all - she hates it most when others touch her things.

Not only because Qi is her subordinate zombie, but also because of the witch's heart in his body, which is her origin. If it is destroyed by a third-level zombie, she will make the other party pay the price even if it means destroying herself and the zombie.

Ignoring the zombie's sharp claws grabbing at her randomly, Eve used her fingertips to push the iron axe deeper into the zombie's head.

"What are you still standing there for?" she growled at Qi, "Come down and help!"

A black light flashed in front of him, and Qi fell to the ground like a huge black panther, with its long tail curled out. Eve let go of her hand and was caught steadily by him.

"...Cough!" Eve felt a sudden tearing sensation in her shoulder, and she realized that her shoulder bone seemed to be broken. She spat out a mouthful of blood and ordered Qi, "Go."

Qi carefully placed her on the ground, swung her long tail in the air like a whip, making a crisp sound, and rushed towards the zombies with a fierce gust of wind!

At the same time, the zombie finally pulled out the iron spear from its eyes, let out a loud roar from its chest, and ran towards him!

The two zombies collided in the air, making an earth-shaking sound, and then they wrestled with each other.

Eve was not idle either. She tore off a piece of cloth, simply fixed her shoulders, stood up immediately, and ran out through the emergency passage on the third floor.

The reinforcements that were called over were also level three zombies. It would be difficult for Qi to fight against them alone, not to mention that both his arms were broken, which greatly reduced his combat effectiveness.

Fortunately, he has the ability to materialize shadows, and his sensitivity is more than twice that of a third-level zombie. The messy terrain also adds to his advantage. On the other hand, the third-level zombie's ability is the most common hardening.

But this can only ensure that he can fight a draw with the third-level zombie, but he is still a long way from killing it.

But Eve never fights a battle without a chance of winning.

The third-level zombie must die, and she must also obtain the nuclear crystal in its head.

She ran in the corridor, her green eyes turning and stopping at a half-open door.

She kicked the door open, and it hit the wall with a heavy thud. Several dark shadows squatting in the room were startled and raised their cloudy eyes.

Eve stood at the door, blood still dripping from her shoulder, but a strange smile bloomed on her face. She stared at the confused zombies, her eyes shining.

“…Found it.”

***

Qi was fighting with a third-level zombie. Even with the cover of the terrain, the difference in strength brought by the level was an insurmountable gap. After another attack from the third-level zombie, he was unable to dodge and was grabbed by the shadow tail.

The third-level zombie let out a howl similar to a shrill laugh, and pounced forward impatiently, heading straight for Qi's neck!

At this moment, a flurry of chaotic footsteps was heard from the safety passage.

The third-level zombie's fangs paused, and he raised his head in surprise. A black shadow suddenly passed in front of him and hit him directly!

"Bang!"

Under the influence of inertia, the third-level zombie was knocked directly off Qi. It howled angrily, only to find that it was a low-level zombie. The third-level zombie raised its hand and directly broke the neck of the troublemaker.

But before it could get up, after a few steps, it saw a second zombie running out of the safe passage.

Then came the third, the fourth... several low-level zombies slammed into it like a cannonball. The third-level zombie retreated step by step and was forced into a corner. Its back collided with the concrete wall, making a dull sound.

Seven or eight zombies lay on top of it, almost forming a small hill, pressing the third-level zombie underneath.

Qi looked at the scene in shock.

"Why don't you get up quickly? Is the ground comfortable?"

A cool voice sounded behind him. Qi was startled and turned his head quickly.

Several more zombies appeared in the safe passage, and they surrounded a person in an orderly manner. Her bright red hair was conspicuous even in the dim corridor - it was Eve.

"Hurry up," Eve kicked him lightly with her toes, "They can't hold out for much longer, you have to deliver the final blow."

She just walked around the third floor and pulled all the zombies over.

Although these are just low-level zombies, it should not be a problem to use them to delay the third-level zombies and create an opportunity for Qi to attack.

Qi finally came to his senses. At this moment, the third-level zombie stood up again. The seven or eight zombies hanging on his body made him look like an old man carrying a heavy load, but he still stubbornly wanted to move forward.

Eve waved her hand at him: "Hurry up and solve it. There will be a reward when you finish it."

Qi was startled. Just as he raised his head, he felt a touch of warmth on his lips.

——Eve put her bleeding index finger to his lips and winked at Qi: "This is a deposit."

Suddenly, a sweet smell exploded between Qi's lips and teeth. The rich fragrance stimulated him so much that he felt dizzy. He couldn't help but stretch out his fangs and gently bite Eve's finger.

Feeling Qi's movements, Eve raised her eyebrows slightly and lightly hooked his fangs with her fingers: "If you want to drink, hurry up."

Qi finally stood up, his dark pupils swept across Eve's shoulder, where the blood spreading out had dyed the bandage red. He paused, his eyes turning cold.

The next moment, the whole person shot out from the spot like an arrow!

At this time, the low-level zombies were almost unable to suppress the third-level zombies. Qi flew over their heads, and his swallow-like body turned nimbly in the air. His two shadow tails swept with cold air and hit the heads of the third-level zombies heavily!

"Bang!"

The blow hit the back of its neck, and with a "crack", the hard bone was broken instantly. The head of the third-level zombie drooped uncontrollably, and its struggling movement stopped, and it was held down by the low-level zombie again.

After a successful attack, Qi did not give up. The shadow tail condensed into a sharp spike, piercing straight through the eyes of the third-level zombie and nailing it to the wall.

He took a few steps forward, his black pupils were deep, and his whole body was filled with an oppressive aura that almost turned into a physical entity, making it hard to breathe. The low-level zombies sensed something and began to howl in pain, curling up into a ball.

The third-level zombie was nailed high on the wall, held down in a spread-eagle position, unable to move at all. Moreover, if it struggled even a little, Shadow Tail would increase its force and stir in its eye sockets, causing the third-level zombie to tremble like a convulsion in pain, but it couldn't even utter a scream.

Qi stared at it coldly, his long nails popping out from his fingertips, stabbing into the chest of the third-level zombie. With a light hook, the opponent's heart was pulled out.

He didn't even look at the piece of rotten meat and threw it to the low-level zombies below. The little zombies couldn't wait to grab it. Just as they finished eating it, several organs fell from their heads. All of them were pulled out by Qi.

Eve looked at the seven who looked like a boy giving away money: "..."

She had always felt that this child seemed to have some perverted hobbies - such as whipping corpses.

"Stop playing around," she gently kicked Qi, signaling him to move aside, and then she walked to the front of the third-level zombie. The zombie's body had been torn to pieces by Qi's claws, and it looked like an empty flesh-colored bag, hanging on by only a breath.

Eve was speechless for a moment, then took out a small knife, easily pried open its crown, and dug out a nuclear crystal the size of a quail egg.

The nuclear crystal left the body, and the third-level zombie suddenly became silent. Qi's shadow tail pulled it, and it fell heavily to the ground. Several low-level zombies swarmed over and couldn't wait to start sharing the food.

Eve played with the nuclear crystal, thought about it, and decided to absorb the magic power first.

There are more level three zombies in the Happy Home community than she imagined. She must improve her strength as soon as possible to avoid being in a passive state all the time.

Eve knew very well that as long as she absorbed one or two more nuclear crystals of third-level zombies, her magic power would rise to another level.

Eve found a place to sit down, holding the nuclear crystal in her hand, and motioned Qi to come over: "I'll give you some blood."

Qi Wenshun squatted down in front of her. The brutality from earlier was no longer visible on his delicate face. He carefully held up Eve's bleeding hand and was about to lower his head when Eve called out, "Wait."

Eve pulled her hand back, her expression somewhat speechless: "You want to drink the blood from your finger?"

Please, why go so far when her shoulder is bleeding profusely?

Eve bent her arm and touched Qi's forehead. Her fingers hooked the hair that fell on his shoulders, pulled his head to his shoulder, and said simply: "Drink."

seven:"……"

Eve loosened her collar and removed the bandage covering her shoulders, revealing her snow-white shoulders. The lines of her shoulder blades were as smooth as the delicate curves of porcelain, emitting a faint cold light - but they were extremely thin and would break at the slightest bend.

Qi's face showed a bit of embarrassment. He quickly looked away as if he was stung by the whiteness, gathered Eve's loose collar, and then gently put his lips close to hers.

He's quite a gentleman. Eve raised her eyebrows in surprise and wanted to stroke Qi's soft hair, but she suddenly shook it - Qi opened his mouth and stabbed his fangs into her wound.

Damn, Eve cursed softly, it hurts quite a bit.

She changed her posture and used her free hand to touch Qi's backpack. Qi subconsciously wanted to look up, but Eve pushed him back without any hesitation: "Drink yours."

Eve struggled hard and finally unzipped her backpack. She fiddled with it roughly and pulled out a small white bag.

She tore open the package with her teeth, and a few translucent cubes rolled out. Eve poured them all into her mouth without even looking at them. She pressed her teeth against the hard surface of the cubes and bit hard. Suddenly, a sweet taste spread between her lips and teeth.

——The small white bag contains rock sugar.

Eve ate seven or eight of them in a row before her tense face relaxed a little. Although her wound was still painful, she seemed to have gained some kind of comfort from the small rock candies. She closed her eyes contentedly and turned to Qi: "Have you finished?"

Qi nodded and silently let go of Eve. Fang even touched her shoulder lightly when he left, as if to express some silent apology.

Eve: “?”

Is this an illusion? Why is this kid becoming more and more clingy?

She re-bandaged her shoulder but did not treat the wound - Fang Yong was there anyway, so using magic power would be a waste, so she only healed the part that was bitten by the zombie.

After doing all this, she began to check Seven again.

After sucking blood, Qi was in much better condition than before. Some of the wounds on his body had begun to heal, but his arms had not grown back yet. Eve thought about it, tore off the hem of her coat, and tied it up to stop the bleeding.

Can't? Feed Qi blood. Song Shuye and the others should have seen that his arm was cut off. If Qi's arm grows out at this time, it will be difficult to explain.

But she was also a little worried - Qi was now half human and half zombie, what if Fang Yong's healing ability didn't work on him? Wouldn't that expose her?

In this case, we can only take a risk.

Eve held onto the nuclear crystal and absorbed all the energy inside. Suddenly, a warmth spread along her hand to her limbs. She exhaled slowly, her green eyes narrowed slightly, and a bright light like an aurora quickly passed through her eyes.

Hmm... I feel like my magic power is almost recovered to one third.

It’s a pity that there are no third-level zombies nearby, she thought to herself, otherwise she could find one to try it out.

Just as he was thinking, a roar suddenly came from above his head: "Howl——!"

Then there were several panicked shouts: "Stop it! It's coming!"

Eve looked up, her eyes lighting up.

A third-level zombie...isn't there a ready-made one upstairs?

She patted seven and pointed to the fourth floor and said, "Let's go up."

Qi naturally had no objection. After Eve put her arms around his neck, the pair of shadow tails, which had become a little stronger, wrapped around the steel bars above their heads and easily brought them to the fourth floor.

As soon as Eve landed, she saw Fang Yong huddled in the corner, shivering, while the other three stood in front of him, struggling to resist the first third-level zombie.

"Damn!" Lin Bing was roaring, "Why is its skin so tough?!"

He raised his hand and shot out a row of ice spikes, which hit the iron-colored skin of the third-level zombie without leaving any marks. Lin Bing gritted his teeth unwillingly, but heard Shoufeng whisper, "Get out of the way."

Thanks to her petite figure, her movements were much more agile than those of two adult men. Like a nimble hound, she weaved between the hammers of the third-level zombies. When she found an opening, she immediately raised her hand and shot the zombie in the head.

Eve then discovered that the little girl's weapon was actually a revolver.

Shoufeng's bullet hit the solar plexus of the third-level zombie with incredible accuracy, but the seemingly powerful shot only left a shallow dent on the surface without even breaking the skin.

"Get out of the way!"

Song Shuye said urgently, and the other two seemed to realize something and tacitly dodged to the side, revealing Song Shuye behind them. He clenched his fists loosely, as if holding something, and swung his arms suddenly, and some kind of translucent long strip of substance hit the third-level zombie!

“Bang!”

Song Shuye's air whip made a sharp sound, and a red mark immediately appeared on the chest of the third-level zombie. The latter let out an angry roar and rolled towards him like a tank!

Lin Bing hurriedly fired ice bombs at its feet, trying to stop the third-level zombie, but the ice layer had just solidified when it was violently crushed by the third-level zombie, and could not stop it at all.

Seeing that the third-level zombie was about to approach the three of them, Eve narrowed her eyes and pushed Qi: "Go and help."

Qi nodded, and his figure disappeared from the spot. The next second, he instantly appeared in front of the third-level zombie, swung his tail, and hit the third-level zombie's abdomen.

The power of his attack was much greater than Song Shuye's.

——The third-level zombie’s abdomen suddenly caved in. The huge impact force caused it to be thrown out instantly, and it hit the wall behind it heavily, forming a deep pit.

"...Seven? Eve?!" Fang Yong was shocked. "You're not dead?!"

Eve smiled and said, "Do you think it would be better if we died?"

"No, no, no!" Fang Yong came back to his senses and quickly changed his tone, "That's great, you're all okay!"

When she and Qi fell from the broken edge, they thought they would definitely not survive.

"Stop reminiscing about the past, you two! Come and help!" Lin Bing said angrily.

As the saying goes, strike while the enemy is weak. Qi's attack directly opened up a gap in the previously stalemate. How could Lin Bing and the other two let go of such a good opportunity? They immediately used all kinds of supernatural powers and attacked the third-level zombie with great momentum!

But Eve suddenly said, "Wait, don't hit it."

Everyone subconsciously braked suddenly, and their attacks deviated and landed on the wall.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Lin Bing almost went crazy.

Eve ignored him and looked at Song Shuye with a smile: "Captain, can you tie it up?"

Song Shuye hesitated a little: "It's too strong, I'm afraid I can't hold it down..."

"Seven will help, too," Eve said.

Na Xiangqi had already wrapped the shadow tail around the third-level zombie, but his strength alone was obviously not enough. The third-level zombie struggled desperately and was about to break free from the restraints. Song Shuye didn't have time to think about it and quickly wrapped his air whip around it.

Seeing this, Lin Bing snorted coldly and waved his hand. Then, a layer of ice gradually formed under the feet of the third-level zombie.

Eve winked at him. "Thank you."

The three psychics suppressed the third-level zombie and finally made it quiet down for a while. It was tied up like a giant gray cocoon. Although it kept struggling, it could not break free from the restraints and could only let out helpless and furious roars.

Shoufeng tried to shoot it again in the head, but it was useless.

Fang Yong was desperate: "What should we do? Our attacks are useless against it!"

Everyone looked hesitant, but then they heard Eve say, "Let me do it."

Just as she was about to step forward, she was pulled back by a hand. Eve's gaze followed the arm upwards, and Song Shuye looked at her worriedly: "What can you do? Back off, it's too dangerous."

"It's okay," Eve gently pushed his hand away, "With Qi here, nothing will go wrong."

She walked straight towards the third-level zombie.

"What on earth does she want to do?" Lin Bing muttered, "Didn't they say that it's impossible to control a level 3 zombie?"

Looking at Eve's back, Song Shuye suddenly thought of a question and turned to ask Lin Bing: "Where's the zombie on the third floor? Was it defeated by them?"

"Maybe he's not a powerful one." Lin Bing said casually. After all, Eve and the other two could handle him.

Song Shuye thought about it and his gaze fell back on Eve, only to see her bite her finger and drip a drop of blood onto the head of the third-level zombie.

"You really want to control it?" Lin Bing's surprised voice sounded beside his ear, "It's impossible? This third-level monster is so powerful, how can it be possible to succeed..."

His voice suddenly stopped.

As soon as Eve's blood dripped onto the third-level zombie's brow, the latter's struggling stopped instantly and he was silent for a few seconds. When he looked up again, his boiling red eyes had calmed down. He looked at her docilely and obediently, and a low whimper came from his throat.

"Wow," Eve turned around and acted surprised, "I can control a level 3 zombie now."

Lin Bing and Song Shuye: "..."

Some people always upgrade without saying a word.
