Was his death in Chapter 256 too hasty?
This "person" was completely different from the rotting zombies around him.
He was wearing an oversized black T-shirt, his skin was so pale that you could see the blue veins under his skin, and his limbs were intact.
If it weren't for those eyes, glowing with an eerie green light, staring intently at Lu Nange and Shi Xu, one would almost mistake him for an ordinary young man.
The next second, a sharp mental shock pierced the minds of Lu Nange and her group like steel needles—
The people fighting all groaned in unison, and He Zhuo and the others immediately knelt down, pressing their fingers to their temples.
Gu Wan and Luo Xingyou couldn't help but gag, while Chi Yanzhou's lightning bolts, out of control, struck the night sky...
The instant their eyes met those eerie green pupils—Lu Nange and Shi Xu simultaneously launched a counterattack against the level-five mental zombie!
Three invisible spiritual forces collided in mid-air, creating ripples.
"boom--"
The heads of the low-level zombies in front of the two people and the zombie exploded one after another, and black blood poured down like a torrential rain, staining the entire street dark red.
Although the stinging pain in Lu Xici and the others' minds had subsided, they were still dizzy, as if they were still reeling from the aftershocks of being hit hard with a hammer.
Lu Nange quickly stuffed a Qingming Pill into her mouth and Shi Xu's mouth respectively: "Shi Xu, lock onto him."
Shi Xu unleashed his spiritual power, pressing down fiercely on his opponent.
Black blood began to seep from the swirling eyes of the level-five zombie, but its lips seemed to be smiling.
The passage behind Shen Mianmian was quickly filled with zombies again.
She manipulated the vines and desperately rushed towards Lu Nange and the others.
"Zhizhi! Roll her over here!" Lu Nange shouted.
The little tree-man's vines instantly wrapped around Chen Mianmian's waist, pulling her towards him.
At the same time, Lu Nange's wind shield unfolded around everyone, blocking the successive attacks from zombies and supernatural beings.
"What's wrong with them?" Shen Mianmian asked, looking at the group of people who were clutching their heads in pain.
Lu Nange rushed to Lu Beiye's group and quickly stuffed a Qingming pill into each of their mouths.
As soon as the pill entered their mouths, Lu Beiye and the others felt the excruciating pain in their heads vanish, and they felt completely relaxed.
Fine blood vessels seeped from the corners of Shi Xu's eyes, and his brows furrowed tightly.
"Brother Yan," Lu Nange quickly instructed, "These zombies are yours. Shi Xu and I will deal with the psychic one. Remember, don't get close to us to avoid being accidentally injured."
Everyone nodded.
Lu Nange removed the wind shield, and the violent airflow, carrying countless wind blades, exploded in all directions, forcing the approaching horde of zombies back several meters.
She quickly stuffed the Qingming pill into Shi Xu's mouth.
The mental energy followed Shi Xu's attack trajectory and pierced straight across the street—the brain of the level 5 zombie on the other side.
The level 5 zombie's body began to shake violently, and it staggered a few steps as if it were drunk.
A vacuum appeared in front of them—any zombie that got close would have its head explode without warning, splattering black blood and brain matter all over the ground.
Chen Mianmian: "No wonder Nan Nan told us to stay away, stay away..."
He Zhuo: "Mei Bao never talks nonsense, and you must listen to what she says."
Seeing the level 5 zombies retreating steadily, Lu Nange immediately diverted half of her mental energy, sending dozens of wind blades whistling as they slashed at the enemy.
However, the wind blades bounced off the level 5 zombie.
The zombie's green eyes stared at Lu Nange and Shi Xu as it began to walk towards them step by step.
Chi Yanzhou and the others stood guard behind Lu Nange and Shi Xu, their various supernatural abilities intertwining to keep the ever-increasing zombies at bay.
At the other end of the street, Shen Yan panicked when he realized that Shen Mianmian's figure had disappeared from sight.
He conjured lightning in his hands and furiously struck at the horde of corpses blocking his path, his voice filled with panic: "Mianmian! Chen Mianmian..."
Uncle Hao swatted a zombie away and quickly approached: "Young Master, calm down! Miss is with Miss Lu and the others, she'll be fine."
"But..." Shen Yanyi's hand trembled slightly: "Last time..."
"This time is different," Uncle Hao interrupted him decisively. "You've seen the strength of Miss Lu's group."
......
On Lu Nange's side, Zhizhi noticed that Lu Nange's face was somewhat pale and suddenly made a move.
The little tree-man tilted its head, sizing up the level 5 zombie that was staggering towards it.
Its vines moved silently along the ground, nimbly wrapping around the zombies' ankles.
The leaf spread along the body of the level 5 zombie. The level 5 zombie seemed to have sensed something. In that instant, Zhizhi's eyes seemed to flash with heartache. She plucked a leaf from the vine on her toes, slid it into the zombie's mouth, and pushed the leaf directly into the depths of its throat!
Zhizhi: "Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp..."
[You've ruined my master! You got off easy, huh... Eat up, you're all you want!]
Lu Nange watched as the vines roughly stuffed leaves into the mouth of the level-five zombie, and her lips twitched...
When the level 5 zombie opened its mouth wide, Zhizhi seemed to sense something was wrong, so she pulled out the leaf and stuffed it back into the zombie's brain.
The level 5 zombie suddenly froze, its attack abruptly ceasing.
Just as it attempted to regroup its spiritual energy—"Poof!"
Its head exploded, splattering black and red brain matter all over the ground.
Lu Nange was stunned...
Shi Xu scratched his head and turned his head: "LuLu???"
Lu Nange: "Does your head hurt?"
Shi Xu shook his head: "Boss, it doesn't hurt..."
Lu Nange casually pointed to the zombies not far away: "Those are toys too, play with them yourselves."
Shi Xu happily skipped towards Lu Beiye, while Zhizhi had already deftly rolled up the level 5 mental crystal core and presented it to her like a treasure.
Lu Nange? ? ? — [No, I was prepared to go all in, even if it meant certain death... and I'm just going to die like this?]
"Chirp chirp!" Zhizhi rubbed her fingers.
[Master is the best! I'll give all the crystal cores to Master~]
Lu Nange suddenly realized: "Wait... Zhizhi, what exactly is the effect of your leaves?"
The little tree person's branches swayed merrily: "Chirp chirp chirp..."
[I am one with my master... I eat every leaf and twig, and if I try to harm my master, I will be crushed...]
Lu Nange: "The leaves on each branch mean they can't hurt me? Such an important cheat, and I only just found out?!"
She suddenly remembered something, and her expression changed slightly: "What about A-Ye and the others..."
The branches swayed their wavy hair, a hint of smugness in their voices: "Chirp chirp chirp~"
[For those who are kind to their owners, the leaves are a powerful tonic...a real health supplement! They're good for the body and can even speed up wound healing!]
[So, the reason Youyou always suggested I go see this is because of this?] — Lu Nange had just breathed a sigh of relief when a violent tremor suddenly came from beneath her feet.
"Boom!"
The ground trembled violently as if being torn apart by a giant beast, and huge cracks instantly appeared in the asphalt road.
Buildings on both sides collapsed, and everyone felt themselves falling...
"Ah Ye!" Lu Nange lunged at her younger brother, while Shi Xu, standing beside Lu Beiye, grabbed the wrists of both siblings with one hand.
"Zhizhi!"
The little tree-man's vines instinctively grew wildly, haphazardly wrapping around several figures in the smoke and dust.
Amidst the violent shaking, it couldn't even distinguish whether it had rescued a companion or a zombie...
"careful!"
"Nan Nan..."
"Ano..."
"Gu Wan..."
"Big brother..."
The shouts were drowned out by the roar of the collapsing building.
The spot where they had just been standing was now buried under collapsed steel bars.
In mid-air came Wen Qing and Gangzi's altered shouts: "Nan Nan..."
"beauty..."
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, only the faint voices of Lu Nange and Chi Yanzhou could be heard piercing through the chaos: "Assemble at the city gate!"
"Shield, shield, protect yourself!"
