Instead of the expected pain, the zombie puppet froze in place and stopped moving.
Zhang Xu rubbed her sore knee and turned around to see Yan Chenghuan lying on the ground.
The words I wanted to say to continue cursing were stuck in my throat, unable to come out.
Zhang Xu stepped forward and kicked Yan Chenghuan's leg, only to find that he was still motionless, with bloodstains on his pale face.
"Aren't you insulting me? Keep going!"
Yan Chenghuan spoke weakly, but her tone was cold. Zhang Xu didn't know that Yan Chenghuan had just done that to save them, and now a sense of guilt overwhelmed her, leaving her at a loss for words.
Xiao Mumu bared her teeth at him, and Yan Chenghuan struggled to prop his head up: "If you want to blend in with the crowd, you have to pay a price, right?"
Zhang Xu didn't understand what he was talking about. Turning her head, she saw that the leaves on the little wooden board had wilted quite a bit, and its lush green face had turned a little pale, which was unusual for it.
"Little Mumu, what's wrong?"
Little Mumu yawned: "Xuxu, I'm so tired!" Before she could finish speaking, Little Mumu rolled into Zhang Xu's arms and curled up into a brown seed!
"He just used up his strength, he's not dead. He'll be fine after a while!" Seeing Zhang Xu's sad expression as she held the seed, Yan Chenghuan couldn't help but speak up.
Zhang Xu realized: "It was Xiao Mumu who saved us?" So Yan Chenghuan pushed her out to unleash Xiao Mumu's potential?
"That's right! I'm too weak to beat them!" Yan Chenghuan was very honest, pointing to the feet of the zombie puppets. There were many cracks in the city floor, and brown tree roots were tightly wrapped around the feet of the zombie puppets. It turned out that the zombie puppets couldn't move because they were bound.
"Let's go! We need to find a way out of this formation first, otherwise these puppets will break free sooner or later."
Zhang Xu held the seed in one hand and reached out with the other to pull him up: "Are you alright!"
Yan Chenghuan pushed Zhang Xu's hand away and struggled to get up. He wiped the blood off his face and walked forward.
Zhang Xu first tried to help him up, but Yan Chenghuan pushed her away again.
He probably still remembers her insulting him earlier; what a vengeful man!
"If we break through this formation, will we be able to get out?" Zhang Xu tried to get closer to him.
Yan Chenghuan ignored him and followed the rope back to where she had been. All she could see was still a dark and oppressive place, but the zombies were trapped in one spot, making the place look quite empty.
"To break the formation, do we need to find the core of the formation?" Zhang Xu asked, based on her limited understanding.
Yan Chenghuan finally answered her: "It's because you're too stupid!"
How do we find the core of the formation?
"Something different from its surroundings."
It's different from the surroundings? Zhang Xu's eyes lit up as she remembered the gray pillar she had touched.
"I remember now! I touched a pillar that was covered in ash before. There was no burning here, so there shouldn't be any ash. Could that pillar be the core of the formation?"
Yan Chenghuan also remembered that Zhang Xu had been randomly touching and groping along the way, and he also remembered that dusty pillar.
The two quickly followed the path they remembered.
However, the city was full of those pillars, and the surrounding environment was exactly the same, so it was hard to find them at first glance.
Time passed slowly, and the two circled the spot for a long time, but they couldn't find the dusty pillar again.
Yan Chenghuan looked at the restless zombie puppets in the distance, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be getting darker and darker. His expression was somewhat solemn: "Someone has replaced the pillar. There has been someone watching us here all along!"
