Chapter 334 Corpse Transformation...
Ji Xian scoffed: "You should be glad... I was afraid of offending my sisters' eyes."
His gaze swept over Lu Nange, Gu Wan, and the other girls, and his voice suddenly turned icy: "Otherwise, I will definitely let you taste what it means to truly fight fire with fire!"
After Ji Xian finished speaking, he slowly straightened up, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, or as if he had exhausted all his strength...
He casually tossed the blood-stained dagger aside, the metal striking the ground with a crisp sound.
He turned around, not looking back at the bloody hell he had created with his own hands, and walked heavily toward Lu Nange and her group.
Ji Xian: "Brother Chi, this dagger is dirty. I'll get you a new one later!"
Chi Yi patted his shoulder: "Hmm..." Luo Xingyou gently raised his hand, and several metal darts condensed in mid-air and whistled out!
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The dart pierced through Mu Qiu's limbs and abdomen!
Mu Qiu let out a bloodcurdling scream; the excruciating pain caused her body to convulse, but she did not immediately die...
The vines suddenly loosened.
Mu Qiu fell from mid-air like a rag doll, crashing heavily next to Ji Zhengmao.
The two lay side by side on the cold ground, blood spreading beneath them and pooling into a pool.
Their eyes were vacant as they stared at the blinding sky, their bodies twitching slightly from the pain.
All around were corpses, pierced by Ji Xian's earth spikes, their deaths gruesome, and the heavy stench of blood was almost nauseating.
Amidst this deathly silence and despair...
A strange, wheezing sound, like a broken bellows, suddenly came from the throat of a corpse!
Then, under the horrified gazes of everyone, the corpses on the ground, which should have been dead, began to try to get up in various twisted, stiff, and trembling ways!
The joints made a "clacking" sound, and the movements were slow but carried a kind of chilling stubbornness.
The crowd erupted in chaos, and panic spread like wildfire!
"The zombies have turned! The zombies have turned!!"
"Damn it! It's zombies..."
"Run!!"
"We're completely surrounded, how can we escape?...
"What to do? What to do?"
The crowd stirred, and cries and screams rose and fell...
However, Lu Nange and the others exchanged glances, and instead of being alarmed, they revealed a look of "I knew it".
Chi Yanzhou: "Quiet down! Or... I'll kill you all!"
The survivors who had been watching, upon hearing the announcement from the loudspeaker, instantly stopped spinning, their choked sobs and trembling falling silent...
Shi Xu looked at Lu Nange and the others: "It's done... a superhuman turning into a zombie is a high-level zombie..."
Lu Nange: "Let's do it..."
The two men's spiritual power surged forth like two invisible tsunamis!
The heads of the "newborn" zombies, who had completed their transformation and hadn't even had a chance to stand up completely, exploded one after another!
The tendrils burrowed into the shattered skulls, quickly pulling out several filthy, differently colored crystal cores, and eagerly dragging them towards Lu Nange's direction.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Nange couldn't directly put the crystal cores into her spatial storage. Gu Qi bent down, picked up the crystal cores, and threw them into his backpack without even wiping them.
At a glance, apart from Ji Zhengmao and Mu Qiu's two level-two crystal cores, the rest were all level-three and level-four crystal cores!
Mu Jin, who had been tortured to the point of being almost unrecognizable, pleaded in a hoarse and humble voice.
"Young Master Chi...you've seen it all. I truly knew nothing about the atrocities committed by Ji Zhengmao and Mu Qiu!"
They did it behind my back... behind my back! Now... now you've gotten your revenge, you've vented your anger, so... so you can finally show some mercy...?
"Spare...spare my worthless life? I promise...I promise that no one from the Mu family base will ever appear before anyone from your Chi family base again!"
Chi Yanzhou's icy gaze fell upon Mu Jin as if he were an ant...
Seeing the faint hope flicker in Mu Jin's eyes, Chi Yanzhou spoke slowly and deliberately, with a hint of mockery.
“Of course…” He looked at the sudden gleam in Mu Jin’s eyes and slowly uttered the last three words: “No.”
Mu Jin's pleading expression instantly transformed into despair and twisted rage: "You...!"
Gu Qi: "As expected of the Mu family, bullying the weak and fearing the strong is ingrained in their bones..."
He Zhuo: "Hey Mu, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush... Look, we brothers and sisters have come all this way, we're all travel-worn, we can't go back empty-handed, can we?"
Mu Jin: "Sure! Anything you want! What do you need? Supplies? Weapons? Women? Take everything you see in the base! Everything!"
Seeing this, the other ability users who were hanging upside down from the branches also struggled and shouted...
"Young Master Chi! Young Master Chi! We have no grudge against each other! Can you please be merciful and let us go?"
"We just wanted to find a place to stay in this apocalypse, and we chose the Blade Base. Can you please leave us alone?"
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. We haven't done anything to wrong you!"
"Please... let us go..."
Just then, a commotion broke out in the crowd, and suddenly more than a dozen people rushed out...
The woman at the head of the group pushed through the crowd and called out, "Little Deer...! Do you... do you still remember me?"
Lu Nange and her group looked in the direction of the sound...
Lu Nange's eyes flickered slightly: "Wang Xi?"
Wang Xi nodded quickly, as if relieved: "Yes, yes, it's me, Wang Xi... Sister Xi! Little Lu, you still remember me, it's good that you still remember me..."
Lu Nange: "Sister Xi, you can speak frankly if you have something to say."
Wang Xi took a deep breath, pointed to the group of survivors behind him who had fearful faces but expectant eyes, and raised his voice slightly.
"Little Deer, we just...we just want to ask one question: do you...do you intend to completely destroy the Mu family base, or...do you just want to kill the Mu family members to avenge yourselves?"
Chuanzi, who was standing next to her, quickly added urgently, "Little sister... no... Miss Lu... we mean no harm!"
We just want to know the truth! This base isn't full of bad people; many survivors are just ordinary people struggling to survive, like us! We have no idea what the Mu family did to your families…”
Wang Xi: "Little Deer, look... these survivors, they are all innocent. If the base is gone, they... they really have no way to survive."
Lu Nange and her group glanced at Wang Xi, Chuanzi, and the survivors behind them who looked pale and had fearful eyes.
“We’ve said we’ll only find the culprits. As long as you behave yourselves and don’t cause trouble… we won’t implicate the innocent, nor will we deliberately destroy the base you depend on for survival.”
