Chapter Twenty-Three: Reunion with Xu Linchuan
Feng Ye glanced at the two of them and, sure enough, something had happened!
"careful!"
After Feng Ye reminded him, Lu Yuyang pulled Qiao Xi to the side to avoid the earth spikes attack from behind.
"Go up!"
The two ran up the steps quickly, one after the other.
The evolved zombie in front of them was being drawn to Feng Ye and was focusing its attack on him.
Lu Yuyang seized this fleeting opportunity, gathering the last wisp of cold air in his right hand, and a crystal-clear ice arrow shot out into the air.
puff!
The ice arrow pierced the zombie's temple with pinpoint accuracy, and blackish-red rotting blood splattered onto the wall.
In the blink of an eye, the two evolved zombies were already lying on the ground, unable to get up.
The psychic zombie seemed to sense danger and suddenly raised its head, letting out a strange, low-frequency roar.
"Heh...heh..."
The sound was like a summons, and the zombies throughout the hospital began to stir.
The corpses outside the outpatient hall surged in like a tide, and chaotic footsteps could be heard from upstairs.
A cold glint flashed in Feng Ye's eyes, and blue lightning crackled at his fingertips.
However, just as the lightning was about to strike, it mysteriously vanished.
“It can suppress our abilities.” Josie quickly analyzed the situation, her voice slightly trembling from her rapid breathing. “We need to leave now before the horde completely surrounds us.”
"You guys retreat first."
His original plan was to have Josh scout ahead first, but the situation has changed.
But this evolved zombie that can control other zombies must be eliminated.
After saying that, he quickly went downstairs and approached the psychic-evolved zombie.
Josie quickly bent down and used her dagger to pull out the crystal core from the evolved zombie's brain.
After wiping it clean, he held it up. "This thing can enhance superpowers. We've already dealt with two mutated zombies. Should we keep it to take care of the rest?"
If it had been 2 against 5, she would have left without hesitation.
Now that Fengye has joined the fight, they have already dealt with two evolved zombies.
The risk of staying has decreased dramatically.
Lu Yuyang focused his gaze on the crystal core in his hand and quickly made a decision.
The moment Feng Ye was controlled by the psychic zombie, he used his superpower to shield him from all attacks.
Josie quickly joined the fray.
She transformed into a piece of paper and floated to the side of the other zombies, relentlessly harassing them.
This prevented them from focusing their attacks on Feng Ye and Lu Yuyang.
Pfft!
An ice arrow pierced the zombie's head, and another evolved zombie was dealt with.
The ordinary zombies below were still churning on the stairs.
As the number of evolved zombies decreased, Josie was surprised to see human-like fear and timidity in the eyes of the mental zombies.
Then, it actually turned around and ran away.
boom!
A dazzling bolt of lightning struck its head.
The future zombie king simply fell straight down.
Feng Ye deftly dug out the crystal core, wiped it clean, and handed it to Qiao Xi: "I'll keep it for you for now. You can leave first. I still need to find something."
After saying that, he nodded to Lu Yuyang to express his gratitude and then turned and left.
Lu Yuyang watched Feng Ye leave and said, "His superpower is very strong."
Josie tilted her head and smiled at him, "You're not weak either!"
Then I noticed his burned arm. "He probably has other things to do. Let me help you upstairs to get some alcohol to disinfect it."
They arrived on the second floor, where the zombies summoned by the psychopathic zombies smelled the blood and immediately pounced on them like madmen.
Since they didn't have much supernatural power left in their bodies, they had to use it sparingly to deal with emergencies, so both of them stepped forward with daggers in hand.
Although Lu Yuyang's skills were not as cunning and ruthless as Feng Ye's, he had clearly become very sharp in the past three months.
Working together, the two took down seven or eight zombies in one go.
The zombies in the distance had stopped wandering around and had not noticed them.
"Never mind them, let's go to the treatment room."
After walking halfway around the second floor, Josie carefully pushed open the door to the treatment room, holding a dagger.
The zombies dressed as nurses inside immediately rushed out upon hearing the noise.
After the two worked together to quickly resolve the issue, Qiao Xi helped Lu Yuyang sit down on a stool.
After rummaging around, I found iodine and cotton swabs in the cabinet.
"Take off your coat."
After responding, Lu Yuyang began to take off his clothes. As soon as he moved, he aggravated his wound, and his handsome face wrinkled.
"I'll be slower."
As she spoke, she helped him take off his coat.
The long-sleeved T-shirt underneath had been burned with a large hole.
His arm was covered in blood and flesh.
"Is the injury that serious?" Josie frowned and quickly disinfected his wound with iodine.
Lu Yuyang pursed his lips. "It's okay. People with superpowers not only have resistance to viruses, but they also recover from injuries faster than ordinary people."
His words reminded Josie, and she immediately took out the five crystals.
"These five crystal cores are what we obtained together. You can absorb one first."
"absorb?"
"Um,"
Josie handed him a crystal core. "Hold it in your palm and activate your powers as usual. You'll absorb it quickly."
Lu Yuyang remained silent for a moment, but at her urging, he activated his supernatural power.
Sure enough, in an instant, a powerful force surged from his palm into his body.
Even though Lu Yuyang was mentally prepared, a hint of shock still appeared in his eyes. "The more evolved zombies that ability users kill in the future, the stronger they will become after absorbing the crystals?"
"Yes, that's true in theory, but I have to tell you a harsh reality: evolved zombies are stronger than ordinary ability users. If you encounter one of them alone, it's usually the ordinary ability user who gets eaten. The reason you were able to defeat them today is because you and Feng Ye are both mutated ability users."
The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the most common among ordinary superpowered individuals.
The rest are all mutated abilities, but not all mutated abilities are powerful. For example, her ability is just a useless one.
After absorbing the crystal, Josie was no longer worried about his wound. After treating it briefly, she wrapped it with gauze.
She went out to see it several times during that period.
Unexpectedly, Feng Ye went on a killing spree in the hospital.
The once bustling clinic hall, teeming with corpses, gradually fell silent, leaving only empty shells lying on the ground.
Josie touched the four crystal cores in her pocket, feeling a little regretful.
The crystal core was useless to her.
"I suddenly remembered there's another evolved zombie down there. Let's go down and take care of it, then dig out the crystal core."
Why not take advantage of a free lunch?
"good,"
Lu Yuyang accompanied him downstairs, through the pile of corpses, and towards the main entrance of the outpatient clinic.
Just as she reached the door, Lu Yuyang grabbed her wrist.
"There's someone there."
Josie moved closer to him and peered outside.
Sure enough, a group of people climbed over the hospital wall, and she recognized one of them even if he turned to ashes.
Why is Xu Linchuan here instead of staying on his own turf?
Josie's face was full of anger. If looks could kill Xu Linchuan, she would have tortured him to death a hundred and eight times.
But she knew she couldn't confront him at this moment.
