Chapter 219 Shameless
It seems they've been... locked in a sealed stone space?
Before they could react to this strange change, Josie's voice came clearly through the stone wall, reassuringly calm: "Don't panic, everyone. You're in the middle of a stone sphere now. I'm going to start rolling this sphere now. It won't be very fast, so watch your step and don't fall!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire space really began to slowly move.
And it got faster and faster, eventually becoming a stable rolling motion!
Even though it's the end of the world, everyone was only stunned for a moment before quickly accepting what was happening.
The two superhumans quickly helped Lu's father steady himself and moved with the speed of the rolling stone ball, which was not difficult.
"Boom..."
The stone ball rolled heavily across the ground, and outside came the sickening sound of bones cracking and the shrill roars of zombies being crushed.
Those zombies that tried to stop them were like mantises trying to stop a chariot; they were instantly crushed into mincemeat by the giant stone ball.
The sharp fingernails scraped against the outer wall of the stone sphere, making a sizzling sound that sent chills down the spine, but it had no effect on the four people inside.
Josie even manipulated the stone ball, not rushing back to the main group immediately, but deliberately crushing it back and forth in areas densely populated with zombies, crushing the zombies that had lost their target and were about to turn around and attack the main group!
She controlled her speed perfectly, ensuring both the efficiency of the crushing operation and allowing the four people inside to easily keep up without falling.
This shocking scene left everyone who witnessed it speechless!
They had never heard of such a magical shapeshifting ability that combined offense and defense!
The battle outside was still fierce, but with the help of Josie, the "steamroller," the zombie horde's offensive was effectively disrupted. The pressure on the other ability users was greatly reduced, and they gradually regained their footing and began to fight back.
More than twenty minutes later, this fierce battle gradually came to an end.
Most of the zombies were eliminated, and the remaining ones were reduced in size and were cleared away in scattered patches.
Lu Yuyang was already covered in blood from the fighting. As soon as he had a moment of free time, he rushed anxiously towards the spot in the middle of the group where his parents had been.
However, Shen Han did not see his parents or Qiao Xi beside him!
Having endured many trials and tribulations, he had become calm and reserved, but his face instantly lost all color, revealing an intense worry that he could not hide. His voice even changed tone, "Where...where are Xixi and my parents?"
Shen Han raised his hand and pointed to the huge stone sphere that had just stopped rolling and was covered in blood not far away. His tone was calm but tinged with a complex emotion: "There."
Lu Yuyang instantly understood, and the heart that had been in his throat suddenly settled back down.
The stone sphere vanished like a phantom, revealing the four people inside.
Although Lu's father looked quite disheveled and covered in dust, supported by the superhuman, he was clearly unharmed, only a little pale.
Josie was standing right next to them, and they already understood that it was Josie's special ability that had saved them.
Josie sensed the energy within her body and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Such a huge expenditure was just a drop in the ocean for her; her upgraded ability reserves were bottomless, which greatly boosted her confidence.
Lu Yuyang, Shen Han, and Granny Chen, who was being helped by Zhao Wenjing, all walked over quickly.
Lu Yuyang was the first to help his father up and check his injuries, but his eyes immediately turned to Qiao Xi, filled with gratitude, love and relief. "Xi Xi... thank you."
All the words can be condensed into these three words.
Even if Josh didn't say it, he could guess how dangerous the situation had been.
Lu's mother, still shaken, spoke up, tears welling up in her eyes again, this time with relief and gratitude for surviving the ordeal: "Yes, we must thank Xixi, we absolutely must thank Xixi! If it weren't for Xixi, your father... we definitely wouldn't be able to get out of here today."
She choked up and couldn't continue speaking; she almost lost her husband of many years.
Mr. Lu was able to stand steadily only with the help of others, his face turning pale and then red, his emotions extremely complicated.
He never imagined that the person who would ultimately save his life and prevent him from being devoured by zombies would be this very girl whom he had always looked down upon and who had always been difficult to talk to.
His lips moved a few times, but the words of thanks and apology stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them. In the end, he just awkwardly looked away and mumbled, "I'm fine."
“Okay,” Lu Yuyang responded, gave an instruction to the two superhumans, and then personally came over to help his father.
"You guys go sit over there and rest for a while, treat your wounds, eat something to calm down, and we'll set off again later."
After settling his parents in, Lu Yuyang walked back to Qiao Xi, who was laughing and talking with Zhao Wenjing.
Seeing this, Zhao Wenjing wisely moved aside to give them space.
Lu Yuyang reached out and held her slightly cool hand tightly. "Xixi, thank you for saving my parents."
He knew that his parents hadn't treated Xixi well before.
"Didn't I just thank you?" Josie raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Lu Yuyang shook his head, "That's not enough, I'll be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
Josie chuckled, "Stop making excuses."
Lu Yuyang leaned closer, his lips pressed against hers, "Whatever you say goes. In short, I will rely on you for the rest of my life to repay the life-saving grace you gave to my parents."
"Have you no shame?"
Josie glared at him, but Lu Yuyang took advantage of the moment to give her a deep kiss, saying, "No."
His movements were so swift that few people noticed him even when surrounded by people.
Not far away, Mr. and Mrs. Lu, who were taking a break, kept their eyes following their son and Qiao Xi.
Seeing her son's dismissive attitude towards Qiao Xi, Lu's mother knew that she probably wouldn't have any other daughter-in-law in her life except for this girl.
Actually, she's growing to like the girl more and more, so seeing her son and future daughter-in-law being affectionate brings a smile of satisfaction to her face.
She couldn't help but nudge her husband, who was silently drinking water beside her, with her elbow. Her eyes were still red, but she smiled and said, "Look, your son is really different now that he has a girl he loves. He holds her like he's holding some rare treasure."
Mr. Lu kept his head down and didn't say a word, but he tightened his grip on the kettle.
Mother Lu gently advised again, "Old man, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We need to think more positively. Xixi is such a good girl, capable and kind-hearted. You treated her so badly before, and she still didn't hold a grudge and risked her life to save you... What does that say?"
She paused deliberately before continuing, "This shows that she cares about our son; she loves him because of his family! That's enough! In this world, being able to survive and meet people who treat you sincerely is better than anything else!"
Lu's father's stubborn views cannot be changed overnight, but his life was indeed saved by Qiao Xi.
Faced with the undeniable facts, he could no longer bring himself to say anything derogatory or offensive to Josie.
