With a thud!
Hou Jinglong collapsed and died.
In the end, he actually wanted to make a last-ditch effort, at least to take Xu Mengyan with him.
However, little did they know that this was all for the purpose of protecting the hostages.
Under his boss's instructions, Fang Ping decisively used his skill "Earth Spikes" the moment Hou Jinglong took Xu Mengyan hostage.
And five thorns pierced through his limbs.
What?
You asked where the fifth one went?
This one was quite serious. The last piece of dirt pierced through Hou Jinglong's abdomen from bottom to top through his groin, twisting his internal organs into a terrible mess.
The intense pain was so severe that he was completely immobilized.
He was already doomed at that point, but to be on the safe side, Fang Ping used his newly acquired third skill, "Entering the Earth".
He immediately burrowed into the ground, and a dagger appeared behind him, piercing his head and delivering the most fatal and crucial finishing blow.
Therefore, Hou Jinglong had no chance to harm the hostages.
The only downside is that the third skill was only recently learned and consumes a lot of supernatural energy.
He could only stay in the ground for a mere ten seconds.
"Oh my god!"
Xu Mo and Xu Mengyan were both a little dumbfounded.
The hostage situation and Hou Jinglong's death happened too quickly.
The Level 2 Awakened Ones who were suffocating them died so easily?
So strong! So strong!
Is this what a Level 3 Awakened is like? Terrifying!
If Fang Ping is this strong, then how strong must Boss Zhang, whom he admires so much, be?
They simply couldn't imagine it.
Zhang Hao patted Xu Mo on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Fatty, how are you feeling?"
"Awesome! That's incredible!" Xu Mo exclaimed.
“That’s not what I meant. I meant how it felt to kill these people? Did you feel they didn’t deserve to die? Or should they have been let off lightly?” Zhang Hao asked again.
"I don't think so. They deserved to die! Anyone who dared to speak disrespectfully to my sister deserved to be killed a hundred times over. They were a bunch of trash."
Zhang Hao nodded to himself.
Xu Mo's answer satisfied Zhang Hao.
He was afraid that Xu Mo would be too naive and think that these people were just joking around and hadn't really insulted his sister, so they didn't deserve to die.
If that's the case, then Zhang Hao really wouldn't dare to take him in.
These people weren't just talking big; they just didn't have the chance. If Xu Mo hadn't met them, hadn't found food and water, they might have even died at the hands of zombies.
Without her brother's protection, Xu Mengyan would be reduced to a tool for sexual gratification, subjected to all kinds of torture, and then cruelly killed.
Therefore, these people deserved to die.
Zhang Hao didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "Big Fatty and Second Fatty, would you like to join us?"
"Huh? Is it really okay? My sister and I are only Level 1 Awakeners, while you're already Level 3. Won't this be a burden to you?"
Xu Mo was flattered and felt rather insecure.
Zhang Hao said with a smile, "Don't worry, you all have great talent. It's just that you don't have crystal cores. After you join, I will give each of you fifty crystal cores to help you reach the second level of awakened beings."
Fifty crystal cores?!
Xu Mo was stunned.
It took them more than ten days to finally gather sixty or seventy awakened individuals.
As a result, Boss Zhang waved his hand and said he would give them both a hundred if they joined.
What level of tycoon is this?
What are you waiting for? Join now!
Zhang Hao thought for a moment and then gave a brief reminder: "After all, you've only just joined, and you're not very familiar with many of the superpowers, combat strategies, and characteristics of zombies."
"Once you get back to base, ask Hu Xiaonan for advice. He's only been here for five days. Don't ask Fang Ping for advice; his fighting style isn't suitable for you."
"Okay, boss."
Hu Xiaonan nodded as well.
Xu Mo and Xu Mengyan saw the fifteen-year-old boy.
The disappointment eased a little; he had only just joined the team and was definitely a Level 1 Awakener.
In an attempt to curry favor, the siblings asked a question, only to be instantly disappointed.
He's actually a Level 2 Awakener?
Hey, you leveled up after only five days?!
This little boy is so talented! Suddenly, they felt immense pressure.
That being said, why is Fang Ping's fighting style unsuitable for the two of them?
Because Fang Ping mastered a second skill at level two, which is a skill that allows him to use his supernatural abilities to form armor on his body from mud, making his defense quite considerable.
Most level 2 zombies cannot break through its defenses.
Only an ice-type superpowered zombie like the one from last time could do that.
This means that Fang Ping is no longer afraid of infection, so he has now embarked on the path of a reckless warrior.
Furthermore, he possesses the long-range skill "Earth Spike" and the stealth skill "Enter the Earth," making him a mage, warrior, and assassin all at once.
It has almost no weaknesses and is very agile in combat.
Therefore, Xu Mo and his group are not suited to this style of combat. Xu Mo has dark-type superpowers and will be able to transform into a shadow in the future, making him a very powerful assassin.
Xu Mengyan goes without saying; she was initially a full-time nanny.
It might be different in the mid-to-late game, because she is a light-type, not a healing-type.
Raven's mental abilities can be considered support, while Hu Xiaonan's divination is the final guarantee, ensuring the ultimate safety of everyone in the team.
As for Zhang Hao?
Of course, it's the backbone, the damage-dealing tank.
Now we have mages, assassins, warriors, supports, and healers.
Hehe, the Awakened Squad is finally complete!
