Time passed slowly, but the two zombie lords only grew stronger.
Xu Xing was engrossed in watching when suddenly, as if by prior arrangement, the two zombies stopped abruptly and stood facing each other on either side.
They seemed to have gotten tired of fighting, or perhaps it was a draw; in any case, they had stopped.
Xu Xing, with his far-seeing eyes, secretly observed the simple conversation between the two zombie lords through lip reading.
"This is mine! You're not allowed here!" The tall and imposing zombie lord, whose suit was already tattered from the previous battle, clenched his fists and roared angrily with simple words.
"I want it too." The other zombie lord, though no longer as arrogant as before, still spoke with a hint of longing in his voice.
Xu Xing sat in the library, watching the two fight from the sidelines. Regardless of who won or lost, it would be extremely beneficial news for the villa area.
The winner takes over all the zombies in the school, but will definitely be injured; the loser either dies or escapes.
No wonder the zombie lord didn't lead his entire army to attack the villa area before.
The underlying reason was that a competitor wanted to challenge them.
Everything unfolded as Xu Xing had predicted. With their minds merely at the fourth-level zombie lord level, their irrational emotions took over.
After a back-and-forth exchange, neither zombie gained the upper hand verbally, and the two began a new round of battle for supremacy.
This time the intensity was higher and the speed was faster. In just a moment of distraction, the outcome of this intense battle was already decided.
Who was the winner? Xu Xing looked over curiously.
In a deep pit on the playground, the once towering zombie lord had a large hole forcibly torn open in its chest, and from the outside, one could vaguely see a dark black heart beating powerfully.
This is something that ordinary zombies don't possess.
The human heart can be said to have two completely different structures.
Even with such severe injuries, the zombie did not fall, and due to its extremely strong regenerative ability, it may not be long before it fully recovers from this fatal injury to a human.
"I still won!" the zombie said arrogantly at the end.
Both hands, carrying a 'petite' creature, were used to drive away the provocateur who had come to their door.
But where is the other half? Xu Xing is searching diligently.
Suddenly, right in the center of the battlefield, a burst of sand shot into the air.
A zombie with only half a body, blood still flowing from its broken back, was using its hands to support itself on the ground, running desperately forward in an almost gliding manner.
Surprisingly, even in this state, the speed was still quite fast, using both hands to support itself as it overcame one obstacle after another.
The burly zombie lord, witnessing this scene, gritted his teeth in hatred. He used the back of his large hand to cover his chest, trying to prevent the injury from worsening.
The only remaining thought was to catch up with it.
They chased each other and soon reached the gate. The zombie with half its body quickly jumped over and fled in all directions.
The burly zombie lord stopped at the gate, looking around suspiciously, as if he were afraid of something.
Xu Xing was somewhat surprised, but didn't think about it too much, because there was a more important matter before him.
A great gift delivered right to your door—don't refuse it!
His idea was simple: to take advantage of the zombie's severe injuries while it was still half-dead and finish it off.
Then its most precious level-four crystal core will inevitably fall into Xu Xing's hands.
Xu Xing is already at the peak of level three, with memories of his past life and his terrifying talent. With the addition of a level four crystal core, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to break through to level four in one fell swoop.
He didn't even bother going down the stairs; he jumped out of the window through the shattered glass and ran towards the heavily wounded zombie.
Following the scent and the traces of blood left on the road, Xu Xing quickly tracked down to the entrance of a large supermarket.
At this moment, the air was filled not only with the smell of zombies, but also with various indescribable stench of decay.
It was only after arriving here that Xu Xing understood why this zombie could break through to level four in such a short time.
It turned out that there were more than a dozen corpses scattered around the large supermarket, their shapes extremely gruesome, twisted and contorted in various ways.
Judging from the faint residual fluctuations on the corpses, they were all superhumans!
Since there were no ordinary human corpses on the ground, nor any zombies under its command, we can conclude that...
It seems that this zombie has secured a prime location in the large shopping mall on its own, waiting patiently for prey to come to it.
It is very likely that at level two or three, they had already awakened a little bit of their instincts and, intentionally or unintentionally, let some ordinary people go, allowing them to take away a large amount of supplies and pass on the news.
This will attract those with superpowers, and when the opportunity arises, they will seize the chance to kill them by sucking their power.
Unlike after advancing to level four, this kind of consumption is often filled with violence, and there is no chance to even transform into a zombie. These superhumans will all become some of the corpses here.
Xu Xing endured the stench, held his breath, and hovered his body, trying not to make a sound. Quietly, he peered through a small door made of broken glass.
The goods in the large supermarkets are almost gone, and the few remaining items are mostly useless; most of them have already been moved out.
Deep inside, at the very back of a row of shelves, Xu Xing spotted a severely wounded zombie.
At this point, it no longer had any of its previous methods; not only were the slippers on its feet gone, but even its legs had vanished.
If such an injury happened to an ordinary person, it would absolutely be a death sentence.
Even for a level four zombie, such severe injuries would definitely take away most of its life. In fact, even its combat strength might be easily defeated by an ordinary level two ability user.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Xu Xing sprinted at full speed as soon as he saw the zombies, carrying a door-breaking tool in his arms.
The next moment!
The zombie, who had just escaped from the school and was beginning to relax, hadn't even recovered from his injuries when he woke up again to find a large, black breaching tool in front of him.
Bang! Sizzle~
After a loud bang, in addition to the sound of blood splattering, the zombie's upper body, which was already gone, was smashed to pieces.
Xu Xing quietly retrieved the door-breaking tool and pried out the most precious thing he had encountered since his rebirth from the pool of blood and flesh on the ground.
Level 4 crystal nucleus!
It is only the size of a broad bean, but it radiates a bright luster all over. If you look closely, you can even see the starry sky inside.
