Chapter 183 The Horde Stagnates
A wave of heat hit him, and He Zhuo instinctively raised his arm to shield himself.
The scorching air baked the exposed skin, and the sweat evaporated as soon as it seeped out.
A chilling roar came from downstairs.
The wandering zombies, like moths to a flame, plunged into the inferno one after another, the crackling of burning flesh filling the air with a pungent, acrid smell.
The sizzling sound of burning lasted for more than ten minutes. The fire controlled by Lu Nange's wind blade did not spread in all directions until Lu Nange's mental power confirmed that the orange-yellow pupil zombie had finally turned to ashes.
Lu Nange: "He Zhuo, Gu Qi, Ji Xian, put out the fire!"
He Zhuo: "Okay! Little sister~"
Earth and water-based abilities were activated simultaneously, and billowing steam rushed straight towards the rooftop.
As the white mist dissipated, vines reached into the still-warm ashes, swirling up all the crystal cores on the ground—including the orange-yellow one.
The faint clicking sound of gun barrels cooling down rang out one after another, and everyone put away their sniper rifles.
Lu Nange's spiritual power crashed down onto the ground, and in an instant, dozens of first and second-level corpses froze, then—"Pfft!"
Heads exploded one after another, brain matter mixed with dark red blood splattering onto the ground.
The others weren't idle either.
Lu Beiye flipped his palm, sending a dart straight at the zombie's forehead. Meanwhile, bolts of lightning struck the zombie below, the charred bodies twitching and collapsing amidst the crackling arcs of electricity...
In the distance, the horde of corpses that had been approaching them stopped, their murky eyes darting around blankly, like puppets with broken strings.
Then, dragging their mangled bodies, they slowly dispersed like the receding tide, leaving behind only a mess on the ground.
Lu Nange withdrew her mental energy: "Gangzi, you carry Zhizhi to collect the crystal cores!"
Zhizhi affectionately rubbed against her fingertips: "Chirp chirp chirp..."
[Master, wait for us to return.]
Gangzi raised his head: "Okay, beauty."
Chi Yanzhou stared at the still-smoking pile of corpses downstairs: "That zombie seemed to have mutated?"
Lu Nange nodded: "It doesn't seem like the power of a zombie going from level three to level four. It was able to break free from my mental restraints, and its speed is too fast..."
She pointed to the crumbling exterior wall: "Look at these claw marks! That zombie tore the skin off the outside of this building!"
Chi Yanzhou: "It's almost dawn. There's no time to leave Haishi now. We can only wait until daylight passes before leaving the city."
He Zhuo: "Yeah, let's leave as soon as we wake up. This godforsaken place hasn't had a moment's peace since we came in."
Lu Nange looked at the cracked load-bearing wall: "We need to go downstairs and check. I wonder if this building can hold out until tomorrow?"
The group quickly descended the stairs, stepping over the rubble and broken glass. Lu Beiye and the others activated their supernatural abilities, and the door in the stairwell used to block the zombies instantly deformed, with fragments falling like raindrops.
Just as I broke through the reinforced wall on the sixth floor, I suddenly heard a cracking sound overhead.
The entire building shook violently, and chunks of concrete mixed with steel bars rained down from the ceiling.
Chi Yanzhou: "The building is about to collapse! Quick, get downstairs..."
Lu Beiye was the first to react, and together with Luo Xingyou, He Zhuo, and Ji Xian, they raised the earthen shield and the golden shield, creating a protective barrier above everyone's heads.
The broken cement chunks hit the shield with muffled "thumps," and the group moved quickly downwards.
As soon as everyone rushed out of the building, a deafening roar came from behind them.
The entire building collapsed with a roar, as if its skeleton had been removed.
In the blink of an eye, I saw the tall building collapsing section by section.
A huge concrete block crashed to the ground, kicking up dust that instantly obscured half the sky.
Lu Beiye and his three companions quickly adjusted the direction of their metal and earth-type shields.
A wave of scalding hot air, mixed with cement dust, hit you in the face, making it impossible to open your eyes...
An urgent chirping and cawing sound came from the dust-filled sky...
Lu Nange looked up and shouted, "Zhizhi, Gangzi!"
Everyone raised their hands to their mouths, chanting, "Zhizhi—Gangzi—"
Against the gray sky, the enormous figure of a macaw emerged from the fog.
It carried branches on its back, and the little tree man's branches stretched out like a peacock's tail, with crystal cores wrapped around each vine.
The collapsed ruins caused the scattered zombies to surge back towards them...
Lu Nange: "Let's go!"
