Chapter 136 Sniper Rifle
The night was as dark as ink, but the heat remained intense.
The thermometer showed a high temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, and the stench of decay permeated the streets. The heat wave, carrying with it the smell of blood, was overwhelming.
The streets of Shun City had long been reduced to ruins—abandoned vehicles lying haphazardly, zombies wandering aimlessly, severed limbs, corpses, and various roadblocks and garbage, making the roads completely impassable.
He Zhuo kicked aside a severed limb blocking his way, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and whispered, "There's no way to drive in this godforsaken place. We'll have to walk and look for it."
Lu Nange's spiritual power spread outwards, leading everyone through twists and turns until they finally stopped in front of the rusty gate of Shunshi University.
The character "学" (xué, meaning "study") on the school sign has fallen off, leaving only a blurry outline.
"There's no sign of survivors here." She withdrew her mental energy, her brow furrowing slightly. "It's all zombies."
He Zhuo exaggeratedly clutched his chest: "My dear sister, your superpower is so cool! It's like having built-in radar; it's a must-have for home and travel!"
He kicked a pebble on the ground with a sour look: "Unlike us earth element people, we deal with mud all day long..."
As he spoke, He Zhuo sensed a murderous aura. Ji Xian had already moved closer to him menacingly: "What about earth element? Hmm?"
"Quiet down," Gu Qi whispered, glancing at Chi Yanzhou and Chi Yi, who were surveying the terrain.
Chi Yanzhou pointed to a gray-white teaching building on his right: "Rooftop."
Lu Nange crossed her arms and looked around at everyone: "The building is full of zombies. Do you want to fight your way up yourself? Or should we have Gangzi as your personal transport?"
The bird on her shoulder had just opened its beak when Lu Nange swiftly pinched it shut.
"Gah—" The half-sounded cry was abruptly cut off in the throat.
Gangzi's beady eyes widened: "*&%*￥#@&…"
[Beautiful lady, what are you doing?]
Lu Nange: "There are zombies all around. You can't make a sound now, okay? If you cackle, you'll attract them all."
'Gangzi' shook its head defiantly, its feathers puffing up...
[My beauty, at worst I'll freeze you into an ice sculpture with one blow!]
The little tree man immediately understood, and two vines shot out, quickly binding Gangzi's beak like a rice dumpling, while chirping softly in its master's ear as if to show off its success.
[Master, am I tied her up correctly?]
The tips of the vines stick out proudly, their wavy ends swaying back and forth.
Everyone gave a thumbs up at the same time, especially Zhizhi, who was very enthusiastic. Everyone understood that the little guy was asking for praise.
A world where only 'Gangzi' is harmed has been achieved...
Gangzi, bound hand and foot, immediately wilted, his feathers drooping.
It poked Lu Nange's hand with the tip of its wing, looking rather aggrieved...
[Fine, I won't call you that... You're being unfair, my beauty!]
Lu Nange gently stroked Gangzi's bristling feathers with her fingertips, and the macaw rubbed its head against her palm in a pitiful manner.
Gu Wan suppressed an unkind laugh and changed the subject: "Nan Nan, I want to practice."
Ji Xian: "Me too, I want to see if I can better control the accuracy of my superpower..."
"Come on!" He Zhuo rushed to the front: "Let's stretch our muscles."
Inside the teaching building, the low growls of zombies echoed in the empty corridors.
On each floor, staggering figures wriggled in the shadows, their rotting fingers scratching unconsciously at the walls.
The three Lu siblings, Chi Yanzhou, and a parrot, trailed at the end of the procession.
Further ahead is Wenqing.
As for the others, they were like they'd been injected with adrenaline, rushing to stand in front of each other and kill zombies.
They also made sure to occasionally miss a zombie so Wen Qing could practice with his Tang sword.
By the time they reached the rooftop, the entire teaching building had been basically cleared out.
The forked vines were covered with first-level crystal nuclei.
A hot night breeze blew by, carrying a putrid stench, yet everyone seemed as energetic as if they had just finished a warm-up exercise.
"Clang—"
The rusty iron gate to the rooftop was closed.
Looking down from the concrete railing, the crowd saw zombies roaming the streets.
Throughout the campus—zombies dragging their severed limbs on the playground wandered mechanically like broken wind-up toys, while on the tree-lined paths between the teaching buildings, zombies were aimlessly roaming.
Lu Nange took out a completely black sniper rifle from her spatial storage.
Gu Wan: "Nan Nan, I want to practice too."
He Zhuo: "Me too, me too..."
