The quiet night was disturbed by a sudden gust of cold wind, which scattered the leaves of the sycamore trees outside and even sent trash flying.

"This is terrible, I'll be busy again tomorrow." Zhang Yang stared at the mess outside, a sense of helplessness flashing through his mind, after all, he had been assigned the task of cleaning.

Suddenly, a loud crash came from outside, like the sound of a heavy object falling from a height, sending leaves flying everywhere with a loud thud.

"They're here." Jiang Ruan's eyes were fixed on the outside. The huge black shadow blocked the moonlight shining through the window. A flash of scarlet passed before her eyes. Just from this movement, she knew that this was no ordinary zombie.

The horrific circumstances of the previous life demonstrate just how difficult it is to deal with.

"I see it, shall we go out now?" Zhang Yang was eager to try. He could only vaguely see its back, and he couldn't see its face clearly.

"Go ahead, but be careful. He's not an ordinary zombie; he's not easy to deal with. Don't underestimate him." Jiang Ruan hadn't witnessed the fight, but she remembered that this zombie was incredibly strong. Although he was heavy, he was agile and difficult to handle.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, if I'm outmatched, you'll cover my retreat. I'm not worried." Zhang Yang said this and then opened the door to leave.

Jiang Ruan sighed, feeling gratified by his trust in her, but still worried about her current abilities. Although her healing spell had reached level two, her attack and defense spells were only level one, making it difficult for her to provide him with better assistance in this state.

However, it's not entirely impossible.

Jiang Yan and Li Ming are at least examples.

As soon as Zhang Yang stepped out, he conjured a golden sword out of thin air, swung it around a few times on the back of a zombie to test its feel, and then suddenly charged at the zombie, intending to launch a surprise attack.

Unexpectedly, the zombie was agile and easily dodged it, then picked up a nearby trash can and threw it at Zhang Yang.

"Hey, what the hell? You have no sportsmanship!" Zhang Yang cursed as he dodged, only catching his breath after four or five trash cans had been emptied of trash.

He was facing the zombie directly, and what he saw made him gasp.

Bloodshot eyes, a rotting face, drooping eyeballs, and skin oozing pus and emitting a foul stench, mixed with filthy and disgusting hair, all staring at Zhang Yang with a half-smile.

This was the first time Zhang Yang had ever seen a human expression on a zombie's face. Only then did he understand what Jiang Ruan meant by "not easy to deal with".

"Too, too ugly!" After staring at it for a while, Zhang Yang felt a churning in his stomach and gagged a few times.

His movements were so deliberate that the zombies thought he was taunting them, and their fighting power increased even more.

With heavy steps, it rushed towards Zhang Yang like lightning, and the two began to fight, throwing punches from the left and right.

Unable to gain the upper hand in terms of moves and even kicked by a zombie, Zhang Yang pursed his lips, gripped his sword with both hands, held it to his chest, and kept muttering, "Fire, bring fire quickly."

This is what Jiang Ruan taught me: when you need to use your superpowers, you can shout it out in your mind; if you don't have time, you can whisper it. This is the initial method for using superpowers.

Once you get used to it, you can use it easily without having to shout it out stupidly.

As Zhang Yang's voice faded, red flames enveloped the entire sword, forming a fire dragon approximately two meters long.

The setback he had just suffered did not dampen Zhang Yang's determination to win; on the contrary, it spurred him on. Right now, he was wielding the giant dragon to fight against the zombies.

The zombie feinted to block him as he charged, then delivered a high kick.

Zhang Yang was far inferior in level; the dragon collapsed, and his sword was kicked by a zombie and sent flying more than ten meters away.

It's obviously impossible to pick up the sword in front of the zombies and fight them again, because the zombies have already charged at us once more.

"It's over!" Zhang Yang's mind went blank. He even forgot to react and forget to run away. He went straight for the zombie's outstretched hand.

Like someone awaiting death's pronouncement, waiting for its arrival.

He closed his eyes in despair, cursing his own incompetence in his heart.

With a "bang!", the zombie was knocked aside, and Zhang Yang was also pulled aside.

"Zhang Yang, pull yourself together." Jiang Ruan shook Zhang Yang hard, then used her light blue sword to shield him behind her.

Zhang Yang seemed to snap out of a daze. The momentary daze vanished in an instant. He shook his head, patted it, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with me? What just happened?"

Upon seeing Jiang Ruan before him, Zhang Yang struggled to his feet, coughed twice, and said, "You've come. You've come to save me."

"Hmm, I'm here. How are you? Can you still hold on?" Jiang Ruan turned her head to look at Zhang Yang. She had seen everything that had just happened. Although Zhang Yang was a level one dual-element ability user and had made great progress in using and mastering the abilities, his comprehension was still a bit lacking.

They don't know how to flexibly and cross-use their supernatural abilities.

But that's not important. At this point, he's already done a good job of performing to this extent.

"Yes, of course I can! It's just that this zombie is too powerful. It's unlike any we've ever seen before, even vastly different from the one in the zombie building. I'm a bit outmatched..."

Zhang Yang was somewhat annoyed, realizing that his superpower was no match for it.

"Alright then, I'll take it on." Pushing Zhang Yang back, Jiang Ruan rushed forward with her sword, but unlike Zhang Yang, she wasn't reckless. She had already observed that the zombie's weakness was its eyes.

Once she blinds it, she can seize the opportunity to cut off its head with a single sword strike and then extract the crystal from its body.

Having made up her mind, Jiang Ruan used the moonlight above to flash the zombie's eyes with her sword. As the zombie raised its hand to shield itself, she threw the sword directly at its eyes.

A moment later, a deafening roar pierced the sky, sounding particularly eerie in the silent night.

The zombie covered its eyes, groped around haphazardly, and roared.

"Done! You're really something. Now we've finally killed it." Zhang Yang came over, wanting to slash it a few times to vent his anger, but Jiang Ruan stopped him.

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Ruan grabbed him and strained her ears to listen around.

"Did you hear roaring? There are many sounds mixed together, and they're getting closer and closer." Jiang Ruan's expression was more serious than ever before.

"It should be a zombie that appears at night normally!" Zhang Yang guessed, but he also listened carefully.

But soon his expression turned serious, because in addition to the usual zombie sounds, there were also a few sounds that were the same as those of this zombie.

This indicates that it had companions nearby, and very close at that, who clearly knew about everything that was happening here.
