Chapter 254 No Mental Power Detected?
Chen Mianmian quickly straightened her disheveled clothes and hopped back to Lu Nange: "Nannan~"
The change of expression was so fast that the crowd couldn't react in time.
Her eyes sparkled: "Nan Nan, are you all family?"
Lu Nange nodded slightly: "Mm."
"Thank you all..." Chen Mianmian scanned the crowd one by one: "Could you tell me your names? My name is Chen Mianmian, the 'Mianmian' of 'congmian xiyu' (congmian xiyu, meaning gentle, continuous rain)!"
"Gu Wan..."
"Wen Qing..."
"Luoxingyou..."
...
"Lu Xi Ci..."
Chen Mianmian: "I knew it! It had to be West. East just doesn't sound good no matter how you combine them~"
She grabbed Lu Nange's hand: "Nannan, my tiramisu is absolutely amazing, why don't you come visit our base?"
Lu Nange shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, but we are in a hurry to get going."
"Okay..." Chen Mianmian's shoulders slumped, looking somewhat dejected, when suddenly a thought struck her: "How about I come with you? This damned world..."
"Little ancestor!" Uncle Hao almost knelt down.
Shen Yan grabbed her by the back of her collar: "Chen, Mian, Mian."
"Okay, okay!" Chen Mianmian kicked her legs and struggled, "You old fogies, you're so annoying, so annoying!"
Lu Nange sensed with her mental power that more and more people were approaching and getting closer: "Chen Mianmian, let's go."
"Wait!" Chen Mianmian leaned forward desperately under Shen Yanyi's grip: "Nannan, where are you going?"
Lu Nange: "Beijing City."
Chen Mianmian: "If I go to Beijing, where can I find you?"
"I'm leaving." Lu Nange waved without turning her head, her figure already blending into the night.
Chen Mianmian shouted into the darkness, "Wait for me to come find you! Leave your sister-in-law's place for me..."
Shen Yan released Shen Mianmian's hand.
"It's filthy!" Chen Mianmian immediately jumped three meters away, frantically rubbing her wrists, and said to the girl next to her, "Quick, rinse it off!"
Shen Yanyi...[I don't need to concern myself with you.]
......
In the shadows, Lu Xici stumbled because of Shen Mianmian's shout.
He Zhuo immediately leaned forward, pretending to hold up a microphone: "Brother Ci, let's do an interview. How does it feel to be confessed to by a woman who's been criticized for her beauty?"
"..." Lu Xici glanced at him: "Why are you everywhere?"
Gu Qi: "Maybe she's the most beautiful girl in Beijing, and has never been confessed to?"
"Get out!" He Zhuo kicked him. "Why are you everywhere?"
Chi Yanzhou approached Lu Nange and asked, "Nannan, was that wind-type zombie a level four zombie?"
Lu Nange nodded: "Yes, Brother Yan said a lot of people are coming from all around. Shall we go upstairs and hide for a bit before we leave?"
The group slipped into a low building, but Shi Xu tilted her head and looked around with some confusion, before being pulled inside by Lu Beiye...
The battle just now cleared the entire street, and there were no zombies inside the house.
The rooftop offers a wide view—a stark contrast to the previous horde of zombies. Now, the streets are filled with speeding modified cars and swaying figures, their headlights casting flickering shadows on the pavement.
Lu Nange withdrew her spiritual power, swallowed a Qingming Pill, and rubbed her temples: "That level four wind-type zombie..."
She frowned slightly: "More troublesome than the ones we've encountered before."
He Zhuo immediately leaned closer, his face full of curiosity: "Little sister, tell me more?"
Lu Nange: "It can think. And I didn't initially detect its presence with my mental energy."
Chi Yanzhou: "After the black rain, both zombies and animals are evolving..."
Gu Wan: "We're only level three, while the zombies are already level four and can even think."
"Ahhh..."
"Get out of here, get out of here..."
"Help..."
A piercing scream tore through the night sky.
Through the green vision of the night-vision goggles, the streets were in chaos.
People fled like headless flies, and various supernatural lights burst haphazardly in the darkness.
Gu Qi frowned: "Something's not right? We clearly cleared out the horde of zombies..."
Shi Xu stared at a spot and blinked, as if he was thinking. A picture flashed through his mind—Lu Beiye holding a tablet and showing him "Animal World".
"Beibei," he whispered, pointing to a spot, "that gecko you mentioned last time...it's here."
Everyone looked in the direction Shi Xu was pointing.
In the night vision footage—on the exterior wall of the building, dozens of dark figures slithered like geckos.
The zombies crawled freely on the vertical walls.
A zombie suddenly shot out and tackled the running superhuman to the ground.
The moment the tooth pierced the carotid artery, blood spurted out.
Even more terrifying, as the zombies gnawed or chewed, the victims beneath them would begin to convulse, then contort themselves into an ergonomically unnatural position as they rose...
Their pupils had turned a corresponding level of turbidity: Level 1 grayish-white, Level 2 reddish, Level 3 orangey...
Lu Nange, releasing her mental energy again: [Strange, so many zombies suddenly appeared, why didn't my mental energy detect them?]
She looked up at the crowd and said, "In their palms, there are webbed suction cups connecting their fingers."
"It's upgraded!" The eager crowd shouted, "Let's go, let's go down and try it out!"
Lu Nange patted Gangzi on the shoulder: "I'm leaving Sister Wenqing in your care."
The macaw spread its wings, its form growing larger. Wen Qing took the sniper rifle handed to him by Lu Nange and deftly climbed onto the bird's back: "Be careful."
The group took the walkie-talkies from Lu Nange, stuffed them into their backpacks, and ran downstairs.
The once quiet road was now filled with a series of "hoarse" sounds, as if the entire city had once again become a resonating chamber for zombies.
"Remember," Lu Nange's voice remained clear even as they ran, "If we're forced to separate, at least form groups of three."
The group formed a defensive circle back to back, but the thick darkness was as sticky as asphalt—it greatly affected the visibility of everyone except for Lu Nange and Shi Xu's mental power.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Lu Nange took out more than a dozen rechargeable searchlights.
Chi Yanzhou and the others each took a spotlight and turned it on.
"Branches." Lu Nange pointed in several directions: "Put them all out..."
The little tree-man stood in the middle of the group, its trunk emitting a faint green light, its vines swirling around the searchlight as it moved swiftly.
In just a few breaths, the entire street was brightly lit.
Under the blinding white light, the monsters that were originally hidden in the darkness had nowhere to hide—the zombies crawling on the walls and crawling on the ground were all exposed to everyone's sight.
On other streets, people fleeing or fighting suddenly discovered that beams of searchlight pierced the darkness like lighthouses.
"There's light over there!"
Is it the military?
Desperate people, like moths drawn to a flame, turned around and rushed desperately toward the light source.
Zhizhi danced with vines in the center of the defensive circle, while Lu Nange and her group attacked the zombies on the wall with their backs to each other.
Wind blades, lightning, golden darts, fireballs, water blades, earth spikes, and vines blasted against the wall—the suction cup zombies exploded like a hornet's nest that had been poked open.
The sound of wings slicing through the air came from high above.
Gangzi carried Wenqing as they circled, and with each muffled thud of the sniper rifle, the head of a zombie climbing the wall burst open.
On the wall directly opposite Lu Nange, a level three fire-type zombie opened its rotten mouth, and a blazing pillar of fire shot straight towards her!
Before the flames arrived, the heat wave had already hit.
The zombies, fueled by the fire, lunged forward, their teeth aimed directly at Lu Nange's throat...
