The expected pain did not occur, and Zhao Yunlong looked at the two dazed zombies in front of him, feeling somewhat strange.

Until the petite girl behind him gave him a sweet smile.

"Xiao Xi?" Zhao Yunlong's tone was a mixture of surprise and fear.

The thin, pale girl, with an innocent and harmless smile, was holding a mid-level zombie in one hand.

The key issue is that the two mid-level zombies are completely immobilized, as if their life force has been squeezed.

There was one surviving zombie who was still free to move and think, but he seemed a bit out of it and somewhat wary. He didn't quite understand why his two companions had suddenly been captured and were acting like idiots.

So he hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.

After the initial surprise, Zhao Yunlong became somewhat worried. These mid-level zombies were far too powerful; they were simply beyond the capabilities of ordinary people like them.

So he said, "Xiao Xi, let's run quickly. In ten or twenty seconds, they'll be able to break free, and then we'll be in big trouble."

He was still heartbroken as he spoke. He was already dead, but why did Lin Xi have to come at this time? If it were before, he would have been very happy. After a long separation, and with the new year approaching, he would have definitely celebrated properly.

Unfortunately, he's in dire straits himself now, and Lin Xi is probably in the same boat...

Before he could finish feeling sentimental, a clear clicking sound rang out.

Seeing what was happening before him, Zhao Yunlong's eyes widened in disbelief.

These two mid-level zombies just died like that?

Two middle-aged teachers stood there, their heads drooping limply, lifeless.

“These two haven’t really taken off yet; they’ve probably only recently evolved,” Lin Xi explained, pursing her lips. “Speaking of which, the one on your right is the more interesting one.”

Interesting?

What does this mean?

However, he didn't have a chance to find out. Lin Xi quickly appeared and, with lightning speed, flew over and cleared out the remaining three mid-level zombies. After this operation, Zhao Yunlong's mouth was slightly open, and he was still standing in the same spot.

That was too fast! It was incredibly fast! He hadn't even had time to react.

How did you do that?

He Chao, who was worried that Zhao Yunlong would see this scene, forcibly covered his mouth to prevent himself from exclaiming!

Xiao Xi is back!

Not only did she return, but she also seemed to have become incredibly powerful, clearing out several troublesome mid-level zombies and saving their lives.

Seeing that there was no more movement inside, He Chao finally couldn't resist rushing in and giving him a bear hug.

Lin Xi knew someone was approaching her. Thanks to her level three Soul Search passive skill, she could clearly see that the person was He Chao, so she did not take any defensive action.

The next second, everything went black.

"Xiao Xi! Why didn't you say anything when you came back? Those moves you just made were so cool!"

Lin Xi was also thrilled, but also a little helpless; he always became incoherent when he got excited.

Perhaps He Chao's voice was too loud, because the group that had been fleeing realized something was wrong and, after confirming that there was no danger, turned back.

"Xiao Xi?" The voice trembled slightly.

Lin Xi broke free from He Chao's embrace and looked over; it was Sister Ling.

Despite having no blood relation, she treats her like a younger sister.

A thousand words are in my heart.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Jiang Ling rushed over, grabbed her arm, and looked her up and down, asking, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

"No." Lin Xi shook her head with a smile, and then spun around twice. "Not a single hair has fallen out."

There were three people standing at the door.

One of them was Yan Xiangxiang, who was holding her hands tightly but had a faint smile on her face. "Lin Xi."

Lin Xi simply nodded. She hadn't forgotten the good deeds Yan Xiangxiang had done, and she didn't really want to talk to her.

Lin Xi had never met the other two people; they must have been friends they made after she left.

Seeing this, Yan Xiangxiang first introduced the other two friends, "This is Lin Xi, we met when we lived in the same building."

"Lin Xi, these two are friends we met later, Yue Shan and Ning Ze."

You could tell from her introduction whether they were close or distant, but Lin Xi didn't care too much. So she just greeted her casually and continued chatting with Brother Long and the others about everyday matters.

"We've finally managed to get together, and it's the New Year, so we absolutely have to have a good meal!" He Chao said excitedly, raising his hand to suggest.

Jiang Ling pinched him with two fingers together, saying, "You only think about yourself, don't you?"

He Chao then realized that Xiao Xi's only food seemed to be steak, the kind that was still bloody, and it wasn't even salted.

It doesn't taste very good.

Are we all deliberately trying to annoy her by eating a lavish meal in front of her?

Lin Xi nodded, "Eat! I've seen you guys eat hot pot several times before, and it's made me so hungry. I want to eat it this time too."

Jiang Ling looked at her with some concern, "Won't there be any problems?"

"It's okay, I have medicine."

The others clearly disagreed with this statement. Jiang Ling said, "Xiao Xi, there's no need to torture yourself for a moment's pleasure."

Lin Xi didn't take it to heart. "Life is too short, and we don't know when we'll meet again. When we want to be happy, let's be happy."

Then she whispered mysteriously, "I have medicine. It's okay to indulge once in a while."

Jiang Ling had no choice but to accept it, since it was something she wanted to eat.

Lin Xi glanced around again. "Where are Jiang Yuan and Uncle Jiang?"

Jiang Yuan has healing abilities, so it's understandable that she didn't come out of the safe zone. After all, she has no combat ability and therefore no ability to protect herself.

But she clearly remembered that Uncle Jiang already had wind-type superpowers before she left, so logically he should have wanted to come out and help.

Zhao Yunlong changed the subject, "By the way, Xiao Xi, what do you want to eat for hot pot? Beef? Pig's blood? Tripe?"

Lin Xi immediately became serious. "Don't try to change the subject. Where's Uncle Jiang?"

Under pressure, Zhao Yunlong finally spoke up, "Uncle Jiang suffered a minor injury and is recuperating in the safe zone, but it's nothing serious, after all, Jiang Yuan is here."

"Tsk! Brother Long, didn't Uncle Jiang tell you not to tell Xiao Xi?" He Chao said.

Lin Xi looked at him in silence until his eyes looked away guiltily, then she slowly spoke, "His injury isn't just a minor one, is it?"

Yan Xiangxiang finally came in. "Uncle Jiang went with us to fight zombies last month, but he accidentally fell from the third floor and broke a leg and an arm."

Jiang Ling quickly explained, "Xiao Xi, Jiang Yuan is here. It's really nothing serious. Uncle Jiang just didn't want you to worry, so he didn't let anyone tell you."

Lin Xi's eyes darkened. "Is it serious? Will you be able to walk afterwards?"
