The pale-faced man waved his hand, signaling his men to take him to the side to rest, but after taking only two steps, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
He forced himself to endure the dizziness and walked into a studio. Seeing that no one was around, he quickly took out a syringe from his pocket and inserted it into his arm.
A few minutes later, the pale-faced man anxiously walked out of the studio and said to Wang Mazi beside him, "Quickly call everyone, we need to retreat immediately!"
Outside the legendary city, the zombies that had been relentlessly attacking buildings suddenly began to scatter and attack the humans around them, like kites with broken strings.
At the same time, Tang Yan, Zheng Shuang, Wan'er, and the others at the forefront also noticed something was wrong with the zombies. Before they could figure out what was going on, Yuan Chuyi explained everything in the team chat and gave the order to retreat to the city wall to defend.
As the zombies regained their consciousness, they, who had always only known bloodlust, roared wildly at the survivors on the city wall.
The battle continued until nightfall, and the zombies in the distance began to resume their wandering lives. Just as the zombies were gradually moving away...
In the distance, countless glittering little dots appeared, slowly approaching.
At this moment, Yuanbao, contrary to his usual behavior, was walking back and forth on the city wall.
Yuan Chuyi pointed to the small dots in the distance and asked Yuanbao, "Are those your kind?"
Yuanbao nodded first, then shook his head.
Yuan Chu scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "I don't understand what you mean?"
Anxious Yuanbao paced back and forth, then suddenly stood up and started walking on its hind legs, swaying back and forth.
Yuan Chuyi had a sudden inspiration and said, "You mean, they are cats, but zombie cats, not mutated cats."
Yuanbao rubbed its big head against Yuan Chuyi's thigh and then meowed twice.
As Yuan Chuyi watched the zombie cat getting closer and closer, the doubts that had been lingering in his mind for a long time were finally cleared up.
Since his rebirth in this life, he has always wondered where all the cats and dogs that are usually the most common in the city have gone.
It turns out that these small animals had already formed an organization and had all retreated to the outskirts of the city.
He knew how terrifying these zombie cats were. These walls could stop zombies, but they couldn't stop these zombie cats with their super climbing abilities.
It's unimaginable what would happen if these zombie cats were allowed into the city.
He then ordered all the superhumans to drink stamina potions and then work together to kill the zombie cats outside the city, determined not to let them enter the city.
Fortunately, these zombie cats are concentrated in the west of the city, and their numbers are only around ten thousand.
Yuan Chuyi was the first to jump off the city wall, followed closely by the three women who rushed out.
Huge blocks of ice formed above the zombie cat, and in a moment countless ice needles and blocks swept over the zombie cat on the ground.
To everyone's surprise, after the group used Ice Roar, the zombie cat did not attack again, but instead chose to retreat quickly.
The superhumans who arrived later were prepared to fight to the death, but the scene left them both amused and exasperated.
A man stepped forward and said, "Cats are naturally suspicious animals. They are far more aware of danger than zombies, so it's normal for them to run away."
In fact, Yuan Chuyi knew how cunning the zombie cats were. In his previous life, mutated cats and zombie cats were notorious for their sneak attacks.
Tang Yan looked at the zombie cats that had already fled into the distance and asked, "So many zombie cats will be a problem sooner or later. Should we follow them?"
Yuan Chuyi shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's ignore them for now. These zombie cats also have natural enemies."
For example, some other mutated animals and plants.
Tang Yan looked at Yuan Chuyi and said, "You mean zombie animals and mutated animals are enemies?"
Yuan Chu nodded and said, "Yes, it's not just humans and zombies that are enemies; it's the same in the animal kingdom."
Inside the city, Yuan Chuyi looked at Lin Kang and instructed, "Arrange for people to go outside the city to collect crystal cores and clean up the battlefield."
He then looked at Chen Guodong and said, "You compile a list of casualties and tell me tomorrow."
After saying that, Yuan Chuyi hurriedly walked towards the base vehicle.
Just now, Yuan Chuyi suddenly received a notification in his mind that he was being rewarded with an update to version 1.6 for repelling the zombie horde's attack.
So he couldn't wait to rush back to the base vehicle to see what new features the new version had.
Inside the base vehicle, Yuan Chuyi was pleasantly surprised to see the newly updated system shop. Although it was only one new feature, it still delighted him.
He opened the system shop and the first thing he saw was a dazzling array of skill books, although they were all low-level single-target attack skills.
However, this was also beyond his expectations. As his gaze moved downwards, he saw three things that made his heart race: an enhancement scroll, a return scroll, and a double scroll.
He looked at the descriptions of the three scrolls:
Enhancement Scroll: Used to enhance skills that have already been mastered.
Return Scroll: Once used, it allows you to instantly return to any city you have established, even from a distance of thousands of miles away.
Double Rewards Scroll: For 24 hours after use, kill and loot rewards are doubled.
Yuan Chuyi saw the words "Next Page" in the system shop, but he couldn't turn to the next page no matter what he did.
He mentally asked the system, "System, what's going on? Why can't I turn the page?"
"Ding! You do not have sufficient permissions. Please try to unlock the new version."
Yuan Chu thought to himself, "Just as I thought," and then asked, "Can I buy these skills in the shop indefinitely? And will the prices go up in the future?"
"Ding-dong! All items in the store can be purchased indefinitely, and prices will not increase."
Yuan Chuyi was relieved and began to carefully examine the items in the mall.
Fireball, Ice Spike, Wood Spike, Earth Spike, Wind Blade, Water Sword, and Lightning are all single-target skills that existed before the beginning of the universe.
Looking at the price of one thousand yuan per book, a bold idea gradually formed in Yuan Chuyi's mind.
Before he knew it, Yuan Chuyi opened his eyes again and it was already dawn. Tang Yan looked at him with a reproachful expression and said, "Grandpa, you're finally awake."
Yuan Chuyi smiled awkwardly and said, "I was so engrossed in thinking about things yesterday that I fell asleep without realizing it."
"By the way, how's it going outside? How much did we lose yesterday?"
Tang Yan said regretfully, "Thanks to the sun water, no one was injured, but more than 300 people with superpowers died."
Yuan Chuyi sat up abruptly and said, "So many? More than three hundred?"
Tang Yan nodded and said, "More than two thousand ordinary survivors died, all of which were caused by the second wave of zombie attacks on buildings outside the city."
Fortunately, over 30,000 crystal cores were collected.
Yuan Chu sighed and said, "Let's keep 10,000 and distribute the rest to those with superpowers."
After saying that, he glanced at the sky outside, then pulled Tang Yan into his arms and said, "After the big battle, we both need to release some pressure."
As he spoke, his hands began to move on Tang Yan's body.
