Chapter 71 The Aesthetics of Violence

Everyone finally ran out of the mall.

The zombies inside rushed out, but their movements were slowed down considerably due to the sunlight.

Even so, the exhausted group was helpless against so many zombies.

When the suppressive firepower was first unleashed, Pei Xiu and Zhou Hang had already run out of bullets in their guns, and even their pistols were almost empty.

Pei Xiu couldn't care less about showing off anymore. His superpowers and physical strength were exhausted, and the recoil from the gun left him feeling completely weak.

"Sister, help!"

"God said, 'A curtain of fire.'"

As that soft voice rang out, everyone's hearts, which had been pounding with anxiety, immediately settled down.

At the same time, the surrounding moisture seemed to evaporate instantly, and a surge of heat rose into the air.

Between them and the zombies, a curtain of fire appeared. If the zombies tried to move forward, they would be burned. As for the other side: "God said, 'Ice wall.'"

Just moments ago, everyone was sweating from the heat of the fire curtain, but as soon as the ice wall appeared, they felt much cooler. Their backs were being roasted by the fire, while their eyes were being cooled by the ice—a true contrast of fire and ice.

Ling Ran stood unmoved between ice and fire, lightly tapping her magic wand: "Shatter."

With a single, light word, the curtain of fire and the ice wall instantly turned into countless tiny specks, falling onto the zombies.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Even though zombies don't feel pain, Pei Xiu felt that they were in pain.

Those fragments, like sharp blades, ruthlessly slicing through the zombies, and then with a neat "bang," hundreds of zombie heads exploded simultaneously, their brains and unidentified green liquid scattering in the air.

It's like an explosion in an art film, bloody and orderly, with a kind of violent and bloody beauty.

Everyone was so shocked by what they saw that they were speechless.

Ling Ran tapped her magic wand lightly, and a transparent curtain of water surrounded them all, preventing any of the fragments of brain matter from falling on them.

It's so amazing and so beautiful.

Forgive them for using the word "beautiful".

This was the first time they had truly grasped the aesthetics of violence.

Pei Xiu put away the still-smoking gun and was about to applaud Ling Ran when applause broke out first. Liu Xiuping clapped her hands vigorously and exclaimed in amazement, "Sir, you are amazing! You are a god!"

"Keep it low-key." Ling Ran put away her magic wand, very pleased with their amazement: "Go and dig out all the crystal cores."

Upon hearing about mining crystal cores, the fatigue and exhaustion of the others vanished instantly.

As the water curtain dissipated, everyone ran to dig out the crystal cores. Zhou Hang and Guo Qingyu even managed to use their last bit of water-based superpowers to clean up all the crystal cores.

A rough estimate suggests there are at least six or seven hundred crystal cores.

The seven of them fought tooth and nail, exhausting all their methods, and only managed to kill about a hundred zombies. Meanwhile, the boss, with just a few words, took down five or six hundred zombies in one move.

How can the differences between people be so great?

They don't even have the right to look up to them.

All the crystal cores were given to Ling Ran. Although they had made contributions, they would have died long ago without Ling Ran.

Ling Ran didn't devour their crystal cores. After giving them the crystal cores from the approximate number of zombies they had killed, she distributed them among themselves. She then absorbed all the remaining crystal cores.

The four people who met Yu Jie for the first time: "..."

"The boss?"

Pei Xiu was counting the crystal cores when he heard Yu Jie's exclamation. He glanced at them, then lowered his head to continue counting, not forgetting to answer him, "Nothing to be surprised about, that's my sister, it's normal. I think I just suppressed the firepower and killed at least twenty zombies."

His sister is the chosen one, so naturally she's different from ordinary people.

“I have enough firepower to suppress them, at least twenty, and I think my marksmanship is pretty good,” Zhou Hang quickly said.

The seven of them quickly divided up all one hundred crystal cores.
