Chapter 230 I apologize for speaking too loudly just now.
After advancing to level four, Chi Yanzhou was able to compress his lightning powers to the extreme.
As a condensed bolt of lightning struck the level-three zombie, he flipped his left hand, and an ice spike pierced through the zombie's brow.
Gu Qi's lips twitched: "Brother Yan, it's completely dead..."
"Just practicing with ice magic." Chi Yanzhou calmly stopped.
He Zhuo clutched his chest, feigning heartache: "Jealousy has made me unrecognizable!"
While manipulating the earth spikes, Ji Xian joked, "Be content! Back in the day, we didn't even have superpowers! Besides, what's wrong with earth-type abilities? They're a perfect match for you!"
He pointed at the zombies in front of He Zhuo, their feet, limbs, and even buttocks pierced through, and grinned: "Old He, your dirty tricks are a match made in heaven with earth magic! Look at these artistic wounds..."
"Bullshit!" He Zhuo kicked over a lunging zombie. "Isn't my fighting style cool with metal and lightning elements? And doesn't it explode with fire and wind elements?"
"Handsome, huh?" Ji Xian dodged the attack, the dirt spike piercing the zombie's eye socket. "But being 'outdated' to the extreme is 'cool,' you know? You didn't earn your title of 'Beijing's most beautiful girl' for nothing!"
He Zhu rolled his eyes: "You think it's underhanded? Old Ji, you seem to be using it way too well!"
"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black..." Ji Xian blinked.
He Zhuo: "Old Ji, I seriously suspect that if you lick your lips now, you'll end up poisoning yourself just like Old Gu!"
Ji Xian: "Birds of a feather flock together. Brother, look for the reasons within yourselves!"
On the other side, Lu Xici, who had advanced to level four, was controlling the fire curtain.
The blazing flames formed a circular barrier, trapping the zombies inside and burning them.
No matter how much they struggled or unleashed their powers, they could not break through the circle of fire.
Lu Nange scanned the battlefield, her gaze shifting between the zombie corpses scattered on the ground and her brother's curtain of fire.
A flash of inspiration struck her—every time she dealt with a level 2 or 3 zombie, she would use her wind blades to scoop up the corpse and toss it into the fire curtain.
Seeing this, others followed suit, and soon an assembly line was formed: Lu Nange and a few others were responsible for killing zombies, Zhizhi quickly dug out crystal cores, and Chi Yi used vines to roll up corpses and throw them into Lu Xici's fire curtain.
Gu Wan would occasionally add a fireball to ensure the fire burned completely.
Lu Xici: [Confirmed to be a tool!]
Throughout the process, everyone tacitly avoided the area where Shi Xu was located.
After dealing with all the level two and three zombies, no trace of level four zombies was found.
Shi Xu rushed over, covered in blood, carrying a package wrapped in a tattered rag he'd torn from somewhere. Everyone who saw this immediately took three steps back.
Shi Xu leaned closer, as if presenting a treasure: "Lu Lu~"
[He saw it before; Lulu looked so happy when Zhizhi gave the crystal core to her. Now Lulu definitely likes me the most!]
He was eager to hand over his "trophies," but was blocked by the wind shield.
Lu Nange: "Stop! Shi Xu, you're filthy!"
The crowd—[luckily, they were far enough away from this ancestor, otherwise, they too would have been splattered with blood.]
Shi Xu loosened his grip, the tattered cloth fell to the ground, and the crystal core scattered all over the floor.
The vines instantly coiled and gathered all the crystal cores in the blink of an eye, handing them all over to Lu Nange.
"This is for Lulu~" Shi Xu's eyes were red.
Lu Nange rubbed her temples: "...Thank you, Xuxu."
Shi Xu's expression brightened: "Does Lu Lu like it?"
Gu Qi: "It's hot, shall I just rinse it with water for you?"
Shi Xu looked at his hands and clothes, remembering what Lu Nange had just said, and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Uncle..."
Gu Qi...
Gu Qining took out a stream of water and quickly washed Shi Xu's face and hands—as for the clothes, they were beyond cleaning anyway, so he just left them as they were.
After clearing out the level two and three zombies, the group turned to the level one zombie horde.
With corpses scattered everywhere and hardly any room to stand, Lu Nange used her wind shield to clear out an area.
"Brother, Wanwan, fire." She said, turning her head to the side.
Lu Xici and Gu Wan's fireballs landed in the area enclosed by the wind shield.
The others immediately formed a defensive perimeter around Lu Nange to prevent the level one zombies from getting close.
Flames shot into the air as Chi Yanzhou and the others used their supernatural abilities to throw the corpses into the fire.
Lu Nange used wind blades to assist in moving the fire while simultaneously using them to control the flames and prevent them from spreading.
The towering flames dyed the night sky orange-red.
Lu Nange suddenly looked up: "Survivors are approaching from all directions!"
He Zhuo swung a dirt spike and blew the zombie's head away: "Seriously? You dare to take advantage of this chaos?"
Chi Yanzhou looked at Lu Nange: "Nannan, including the Jiang family, do we have a numerical advantage?"
Lu Nange nodded slightly: "Not much difference!"
With a flick of his fire whip, Lu Xici reduced more than a dozen zombies to charred remains in an instant: "Then, let's clear the area first."
The flapping of a macaw's wings pierced the night sky, and Wen Qing's voice came from above: "Attention everyone, survivors are approaching from all four main roads!"
Upon hearing this, the Jiang family members nearby paled and all looked up.
Lu Nange: "Gangzi, get down."
The macaw folded its wings and swooped down, landing steadily beside her.
Wen Qing nimbly flipped off the bed, leaned close to Lu Nange, and whispered in her ear, "Nannan, give me a grenade, I'm going to blow them up!"
Using her body as cover, Lu Nange shoved a megaphone into her hand: "Don't panic. The bomb's noise is too loud. The people coming are about the same size as us now. They're all level one zombies. Have the Jiang family's level one and two, earth and metal elemental ability users, lower their shields and help."
Wen Qing nodded and leaped back onto the bird's back.
Gangzi flapped her wings and took off, her clear, cool voice ringing out above the golden and earthen shields through a loudspeaker.
"Level 2 and 3 zombies have been dealt with; all that remains are level 1 zombies. Please lower your shields and join the extermination!"
Upon hearing the commotion, the first and second-level earth and metal elemental ability users of the Jiang family moved swiftly, their defensive shields being removed one after another, and the warriors pounced on the horde of corpses like tigers released from their cages.
At the same time, a large number of survivors emerged at the crossroads, wielding various weapons and attacking from all directions.
"The brothers are here to help!"
"I'm not late, am I?"
"Let's wipe out these beasts together!"
"Charge!"
He Zhuo laughed loudly, "I apologize for speaking too loudly just now. I didn't expect them to be my compatriots who came to help."
As various superhumans joined the battle, level one zombies fell one by one.
The corpses were piled up like mountains, leaving almost no room to step.
Zhizhi and Chiyi led the wood-type ability users to manipulate vines and pile up the corpses.
Lu Xici and Gu Wan were burned in batches, the firelight illuminating the entire night sky.
When military support troops arrived from the occupied area, the first thing they saw was the towering flames.
The scout with binoculars immediately reported: "General Cheng, it's the survivors who have won! The ground is littered with zombie corpses, which are being burned in a concentrated manner. There are very few zombies left."
General Cheng slapped his thigh excitedly: "Great! Excellent! Can we confirm which faction it is?"
"Judging from their attire... they should be from the Jiang family's base."
