Chapter 44: Mutation of Ice

Braving the wind and snow, the group arrived at the entrance of City C three days later. Before they could find a place to stay, a bloody man suddenly rushed out from the side and fell in front of the leading car.

Fortunately, the car leading the way in front was driving slowly because of the heavy snow and slippery ground, otherwise it would have hit the person.

After the entire convoy was forced to stop, they immediately used the walkie-talkie to contact the front to ask what happened.

An hour later, the Black Hawk team settled in a farmyard in the suburbs of City C and met the injured captain of the Black Panther team.

Seeing the other party's gray face, Eagle Wing and Eagle Mastiff frowned and asked in a deep voice:

"Black Panther, how did you get yourself into this state? What happened?"

“Cough cough cough!”

A series of coughs came out of Black Panther's mouth, and a fire-type mutant next to him immediately heated a cup of water and handed it to his captain.

After taking a sip of hot water, Black Panther stopped coughing, then waved his hand weakly and said:

“We were careless this time. We sensed something was wrong when the temperature changed drastically. After we determined that the zombies moved more slowly at night due to the low temperature, we ventured into the city center to look for supplies.

As a result, we encountered a level 5 mutant zombie with ice-based abilities. It injured many of our companions. I was seriously injured by an ice spike in the lung, and I was able to rescue only five companions.

We thought at the time that if we couldn't defeat it, we would just leave. But the zombie was very smart. He targeted our team and would kill anyone who tried to leave. We tried to break through three times but failed, and we are stuck in a stalemate until now."

The members of the Black Panther team began to talk at once and make additional comments. Half an hour later, it was enough for Eagle Wing and his team to understand their situation clearly.

"It seems that we have overlooked the ice-attributed zombie. This kind of weather is helpful to him. He can quickly advance by plundering the crystal cores of his own kind and killing those with special abilities. If we let him continue to develop, after the extreme cold weather, he will become powerful. It will cost a greater price to kill him.

I'm afraid that the zombie was the one who threw the injured psychic in front of our car. He also regarded us as his meal, and let the injured psychic lure us over, and then circled us and enjoyed us slowly. Our team is full of high-level psychics, and for him, we are the best choice for advancement."

Lianyi narrowed her eyes and spoke bluntly.

After hearing Lianyi's words, the members of the Black Hawk team were all ready to fight. The zombie regarded them as food, and they also wanted the opponent's level 5 crystal core! After all, only Purple Eagle had reached level 5, and they all thought that he had used a cheat.

"We originally planned to go to the central area of City C to look for supplies. Now we just have an additional mission to kill level 5 zombies. It has no impact on the overall plan. Everyone, take a rest tonight and proceed according to the plan tomorrow."

Eagle Wing made the final decision, and everyone went to their rooms to rest. They also communicated with the members of the Black Panther Team to obtain more detailed information.

Lianyi took Sun Yi with her, and the two of them went to meet Captain Yingyi alone:

"Captain, this is a good opportunity. The opponent's level 5 crystal core can help you upgrade your abilities, and perhaps even expand your water abilities."

Yingyi was studying the map of City C. After hearing Lianyi's words, he looked up and said:

"You mean to convert water-type into ice-type?"

"Well, ice is just solid water, it just appears in a different state. I think the captain can handle it."

Lianyi's output made Yingyi a little tempted, but he was the captain and was responsible for the entire team, so he called Eagle Mastiff and Eagle Falcon to make a detailed plan.

The next day, after the sun rose, the temperature rose to minus 35 degrees Celsius. For the psychics, it did not affect their actions. This time, all members of the team changed their equipment and rode snowmobiles, which made it easier for them to move around in the criss-crossing urban area.

A pair of bright red eyes in the dark stared at the team going deep into the city center. It growled, then leaped away from its hiding place.

This time, Sun Yi also joined the others, wearing a warm mink coat and sitting behind her younger brother. She patted Sun Wang on the shoulder and said loudly:

"Go to Ripple!"

Sun Wang nodded and came to Lianyi quickly. Sun Yi said loudly:

"Purple Eagle, he's following us!"

"Okay! Notify everyone to stay alert."

Fifteen minutes later, the entire team received the message. They harvested the zombies' crystal cores while heading towards the Century Plaza Building in the city center.

Because there are too many zombies and no one has set foot here since the apocalypse, it means that a large amount of supplies have been preserved. This is why they still want to make this trip even though they know the danger.

The sign of Century Building has been corroded beyond recognition, but it still stands, pointing the way for everyone.

Everyone drove the snowmobiles into the underground parking lot, and then, led by Sun Yi, went directly to the warehouse.

The entire team did not disperse in order to prevent the sudden attack of the ice-type zombie. However, in the process of collecting supplies from the warehouse, nothing unexpected happened, and it was even too smooth.

"This is to prepare to strike when we are lax."

Hawkwing's eyes flickered as he spoke with interest.

"I think he will definitely take action on the way back. I can't bear it now."

Ripple nodded and said.

The space user filled his own space, and the other team members hung a sled behind the snowmobile and started to return, pulling the full load of supplies.

With a "bang", a huge snowball hit the middle of the road, blocking the entire snowmobile team.

“Here it comes!”

Eagle Wing was the first to jump off the snowmobile. The fire-type mutant threw a fireball and began to melt the snowballs blocking his way.

Then, ice cones as thick as arms shot towards the entire team like rain, starting an indiscriminate attack.

Lianyi leaped into the air and spread out a huge lightning net to block all the ice cones. He then swung his hand back and returned the ice cones to the level five zombie.

With a roar, a zombie covered in snow-white appeared in front of everyone. It was the level five zombie.

The other party's pupil-less eyes were fixed on Lianyi. This food posed the greatest threat to him.

Yingyi also came to Lianyi, while Sun Wang hid aside with his sister.

Sun Yi looked at the zombie, frowned, whispered something in Sun Wang's ear, and nodded at the other's slightly surprised gaze.

"Captain, Purple Eagle, attack his eyes, that's his weak spot."

"roar!"

The other party seemed to understand that Sun Wang had exposed his weakness. He roared at the other party, and then the ice cone stabbed at the Sun siblings.

When the ice cone was about to reach the two people, it turned into a pool of water and fell down.
