Chapter 479 Zhizhi—Master, keep my food supplies safe!
Blade observed the battlefield with composure.
In his view, the zombie and superhuman team he brought was powerful, and he was confident that he could easily defeat this group of ignorant and arrogant youngsters. He had the situation under control.
He then thought that he might as well go to the underground laboratory first and bring up the "rations" that the boss had prepared for "that person".
However, just as he moved and before he could take a step, a blazing fire blade came straight for his face!
He was forced to lean back sharply to dodge, and the fire blade grazed his head.
"Where do you want to go?" Lu Xici had somehow blocked his path.
Ren Ge stared at Lu Xici with a sinister look: "You're courting death!"
Before he finished speaking, a strong energy surge suddenly erupted from Brother Ren's body!
[He's also a Level 5 Ability User, a tough one!] Lu Xici abandoned all his contempt, his fighting spirit rising...
......
The results achieved by Shi Xu were the most significant of the entire battle, but behind this lay enormous costs.
His face was slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He kept putting the Qingming Pill in his mouth like he was eating candy, in order to maintain the extreme squeezing and control of his mental power.
Under his mental control, the two level-six zombies that had been controlled were completely turned into killing puppets.
They had no defenses, letting the opponent's attacks fall on them, tearing open flesh and breaking bones, but they did not stop. Their only rule of action was to exchange wounds for wounds and fight to the death, frantically attacking another zombie of the same level!
In a short period of time, they actually managed to kill three level-six zombies by using this no-holds-barred method!
This greatly reduced the pressure on the entire defensive line...
......
As soon as the battle began, Chi Yi was like a tiger released from its cage, charging forward with unstoppable momentum, and faced off against the most burly bear in the enemy camp!
Somewhat surprisingly, both of them possess wood-based abilities!
Countless vines shot out from the hands of the two or from the ground, colliding, strangling, and whipping fiercely in the air, making crackling sounds.
While the bear was attacking with its vines, its huge fists and legs, as big as casserole dishes, were not idle either. They would often seize the opportunity to smash into Chi Yi's seemingly thin body with a vicious wind.
He smiled, clearly believing that the skinny boy was no match for him in terms of physical strength alone.
But what happened next made his smile freeze!
"Bang!!"
"Thump!!"
Fists and feet clashed violently, elbows and knees collided without any fancy moves!
After a fierce exchange of blows, both men took a half-step back, their expressions becoming even more serious.
In just a few direct exchanges, they were evenly matched, and it was difficult to determine who was superior in a short period of time!
The bear shook his slightly numb arm and roared in a deep voice, "Kid, you've got some skills!"
Chi Yi remained expressionless, using his left hand to manipulate the vines to interfere with and restrain the bear's movements.
His right hand reached behind his waist, and with a flash of cold light, his usual military dagger was already in his hand!
With a shift in his footwork, he closed in on the bear once more, thrusting his dagger straight at the bear's armpit, exposed by the force of its punch!
"Sizzle—!"
A sharp sound of a blade slicing through flesh and clothing!
The bear reacted extremely quickly, pulling its arm back and twisting its body, but it was still a fraction too slow. A deep, bone-revealing gash was slashed across its arm, and blood gushed out instantly!
"You're asking for death!!" The excruciating pain and the humiliation of being injured enraged the bear. Its eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, and it roared wildly. The vines around its body danced wildly, and its attacks became even more ferocious and reckless!
......
Meanwhile, Gu Qi, He Zhuo, Luo Xingyou, Gu Wan, Ji Xian, and the others were caught in a fierce battle.
They were facing level 5 and 6 zombies.
He Zhuo's earthen shield was shattered time and time again, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, yet he still stood at the forefront, cursing and swearing.
Luo Xingyou manipulated the metal into sharp blades, weaving through the enemy's movements, while Gu Wan's fireballs slowed their advance...
All of them were injured, their clothes were tattered and stained with blood, yet not one of them retreated...
On the other side, Si Sheng, Jin Xiao, He Huaijing, He Huairang, Xie Linlin, Xie Lin'an, Zhang Ao... are also dealing with a large number of level four and five zombies.
They fought and retreated, and although they could not kill the enemy quickly, they effectively tied down a large number of enemies.
As for the remaining Flameheart and Starburst ability users, they formed battle formations and painstakingly cleared out the low-level zombies and low-level ability users...
The entire battlefield was effectively divided into several areas. Although the situation was fraught with danger, the front line was temporarily stabilized.
The fierce battle on the ground was deafening, with shouts of killing, sounds of supernatural powers clashing, and the roars of zombies filling the air.
Deep within the underground laboratory, however, lies a completely different scene.
The reinforced glass chamber, which was originally filled with zombies, now only has half of the standing bodies remaining.
The immense energy was absorbed by the branches, and the once vibrant green vines now faintly glowed with an eerie light...
Lu Beiye clenched his little fists, his face tense, his body pressed tightly against the wall, listening intently to the faint yet intense sounds coming from above.
Yu Wei paced anxiously down the narrow corridor: "I don't know... I don't know what the situation is upstairs..."
Wen Qing: "We will definitely win."
Lu Beiye: "My sister won't lose."
Sang Yan immediately echoed, as if cheering herself on, or as if declaring: "That's right! Nan Nan won't lose! She definitely won't!"
"Gah! Tree branch!" Gangzi, standing on Wenqing's shoulder, suddenly exclaimed, his big eyes fixed on the branch.
The vines and branches had retreated somewhat.
Gangzi flapped its wings: "Master, brother! Tree Branch said you need to get off the glass right now! Get out...!"
Lu Beiye had absolute trust in Zhizhi and Gangzi, and immediately put away the defensive metal shield he had set up earlier.
The group quickly retreated to the metal corridor outside the laboratory.
The very next second after they left the glass area—"Bang!!!"
With a loud bang, the tempered glass on the ground shattered!
Amidst the billowing smoke, one could see that many unabsorbed crystal nuclei were still attached to the retracted vines, indicating that the branches had deliberately interrupted the absorption process.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, Lu Beiye discovered that the pupils on the branches and trunks had turned blue.
Look closely, and you'll see a tiny, fleeting purple glint!
"Chirp chirp chirp..." The branches chirped urgently, and the vines pointed upwards.
Gangzi: "Tree Branch said... Let's go find a beauty first!"
Lu Beiye: "Let's go! Zhizhi, Gangzi... let's go find my sister!"
Wen Qing, Yu Wei, Sang Yan and the others felt a tightening around their waists as they were gently entwined by the vines.
Immediately afterwards, two of the vines suddenly expanded and thrust upwards towards the glass!
Boom!
The laboratory ceiling, the very spot where Lu Beiye had marked with his metal-type ability, was forcibly torn open by the vines!
Broken concrete and steel bars crashed down, revealing the sky!
The sudden loud noise and commotion instantly drew the attention of everyone fighting on the ground!
After a fierce exchange of blows with the level seven lightning-type zombie, Lu Nange retreated, her gaze sweeping over the hole in the wall. She thought to herself: [Zhizhi has awakened! And…she's become stronger!]
The Flameheart's ability users were initially startled by the raging green vines, then overjoyed: [It's Miss Deer's mutated plant! It's awakened! Our reinforcements have arrived!]
He Zhuo, Gu Wan, and the others, who were fighting hard, were greatly encouraged and almost cheered: [Hahaha! Our Zhizhi is awake! Aye is here, it's our turn to shine!]
Below the hole, the branches moved swiftly...
It placed Wen Qing and Yu Wei on Gangzi's back.
Lu Beiye, Sang Che, and Sang Yan were placed on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, countless vines spread towards Lu Nange's direction!
Wherever it passed, some low-level zombies were directly whipped away or torn to pieces by the vines...
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp..." A series of urgent and affectionate chirps rang in Lu Nange's ears.
[Master! I'm awake! Quick! Put away my food! I'll eat it slowly after I've killed these ugly things!]
While Lu Nange was dealing with a level seven lightning-type zombie, several vines suddenly extended from behind her, each with a crystal core wrapped around its tip.
Lu Nange's lips curved slightly, and with a thought, she collected all of Zhizhi's crystal cores into her own space.
With Lu Beiye, Sang Che, Sang Yan, and especially Zhizhi, whose strength has increased dramatically, joining the battlefield, the scales of victory began to tip perfectly in Lu Nange's favor!
