"Yes." Xiao Zihan listened carefully and did hear some sounds, but he didn't know what they were.
The two walked to the window and saw an overwhelming, dense swarm of zombie rats—yes, not mutated rats, but zombie rats.
The reason it's described as "overwhelming" is because they're not just crawling on the ground, but also on the walls of various buildings.
Their eyes are grayish-blue, just like those of zombies, and much of their skin is ulcerated.
Xiao Zihan was right; they could indeed see Jun Nanxuan and the others from here, as they were now completely surrounded by zombie rats.
The wind-elemental ability user struggled to maintain the wind wall, but the continuous impacts from the zombie rats caused the wind wall to show signs of breaking.
And they seem to be prepared for a long battle, so after one wave of zombie rats crashes into the wind wall, another wave will follow.
If their powers are exhausted, they will become food for the zombie rats.
Because it was a team competition, Fang Xiyue granted permissions to all the creatures, the purpose of which was, of course, to make it realistic; if there was nothing there, the competition would be too boring.
Fang Xiyue quickly released her ice-type ability, targeting the location of Jun Nanxuan and the others.
The freezing started from where Fang Xiyue was and spread downwards, all the way to the zombie rats that were close to Jun Nanxuan and his group.
"Come back quickly!"
Fang Xiyue continuously unleashed her ice-type abilities, paving the way for all her teammates!
Jun Nanxuan quickly led everyone back. Fang Xiyue had deliberately made the ice surface less slippery so that everyone would be less likely to slip and fall while running.
The zombie rats that weren't frozen continued to approach them, and Fang Xiyue would freeze them as soon as they got close.
Xiao Zihan had already gone downstairs to meet them. After Jun Nanxuan and the others ran into the building, he quickly threw out a few fireballs and then closed the door.
The metal-type ability user quickly conjured a metal door to seal the hotel entrance and prevent the zombie rats from getting in.
The others dispersed to check if the hotel windows were closed properly, and closed any that weren't.
Because Fang Xiyue released her ice-type ability centered on the hotel, the entire hotel's walls and interior were frozen.
Several teammates saw the zombie rats frozen there. They threw the zombie rats out with something, then closed and locked the window.
Once they were sure it was safe, they started using their superpowers to kill the zombie rats from a certain window. It wasn't that they couldn't defeat them before, they were just disgusting.
The sight of those overwhelming zombie rats made anyone instinctively run away, their skin crawling with goosebumps.
Now that they were inside the hotel where they felt safe, their fighting spirit instantly returned, and they were killing zombie rats with great enthusiasm.
However, eight of the 50 people were bitten or caught by zombie rats, and light-type and healing-type ability users are purifying and treating them.
Fang Xiyue didn't believe that the zombie rats were only found in their area, so she assumed that the other two teams must have encountered them as well.
Eight people on their side have been bitten, so it's likely that people from the other two teams have also been bitten.
After the eight people were purified, they reached out and pressed the withdrawal button. At the same time, everyone's carriers started to announce the elimination list and the number of remaining people.
The remaining players in the competition are: Licheng team with 38 players remaining, Wucheng team with 28 players remaining, and Shuicheng team with 34 players remaining.
It seems everyone was out at that time, hence the heavy losses.
Moreover, the number of Fog City team members is continuously decreasing, proving that they are still trapped in the struggle against the zombie rats.
"Stop fighting! Our numbers are below 25. Everyone, just quit!"
The leader of the Fog City team knew from the number of people next to them, without even looking at the vehicle, that they no longer met the requirements.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly pressed the withdrawal button, and more than 20 people disappeared from the spot at the same time.
The zombie rats that had been attacking them suddenly lost their target and began to move to other places.
The number of people in the water town area stopped decreasing, meaning they had all moved to safe buildings, just like the others.
Just five minutes ago, the people in the water city did indeed hide inside a building, but the scene inside wasn't pleasant either.
Because Gong Yunting was only focused on dragging Gong Yunxiao away and didn't help take care of Yu Fei, the healing team member.
Gong Yunting was right next to Yu Fei at the time. If he had just helped her, Yu Fei wouldn't have been bitten by the zombie rats and wouldn't have been eliminated.
The withdrawal of others has little impact, but Yu Fei is a water-type character, and their team only had two of them, and now only one remains.
This is only the second day of the team competition, and no one can guarantee that the remaining water-type ability user won't be eliminated.
Of course, Yu Fei wasn't the only one eliminated. A total of 15 people were eliminated in Water City, including water-type and healing-type ability users.
"You could have saved her just now, why didn't you help? Don't you know how important water-based abilities are to the team?"
Someone pointed at Gong Yunting and angrily rebuked him.
"Why should I help her? When faced with danger, the first thing to do is run away. She was slow and got bitten by the zombie rats; it's her own fault."
I'm not her father, why should I protect her? You didn't do anything about her back then either. Now you're morally blackmailing me, don't you think you're being disgusting?
Besides, it's just elimination, not death. You can be angry if you want, but don't take it out on me, or don't blame me for being impolite.
Gong Yuanting was also very angry; he did not feel that protecting Yu Fei was his responsibility.
His immediate reaction was to quickly get his brother to a safe place. He could disregard everyone else, but he couldn't help but care about his brother.
Even if he was unwilling to admit it, he knew clearly in his heart that the only person he cared about most in this world was his brother.
"You're being unreasonable. We had to protect other people at the time. You were closest to Yu Fei, so wasn't it normal for you to protect her? Besides, isn't it a man's duty to protect a woman?"
The man felt that Gong Yunting was being unreasonable and lacked any gentlemanly manners.
"What nonsense about what's right and wrong! All I know is that when there's danger, you have to protect your family first. If I had protected Yu Fei back then, my brother might have been bitten."
He was facing away from the direction the zombie rats were coming from. Did anyone think to call out to him when everyone was running? Was it wrong for my first instinct to save my brother? If you were in my shoes, what would you have chosen?
Do you think it's reasonable for someone to abandon their brother for a woman they have no relation to?
Gong Yunting didn't make a scene or become hysterical; he simply reasoned with her.
Gong Yunxiao looked at Gong Yunting and was a little touched. This was the first time he had heard his younger brother say that he cared about him.
"Stop arguing, I was bitten because I wasn't paying attention. We still have enough people to continue the game."
Don't let what's already happened ruin our harmony; we're fighting for Water City!
Yu Fei's eyes were still wet with tears. Although being bitten by the zombie rat would not cause her to mutate, the pain was still real.
