Chi Yanzhou had been preparing for a long time and immediately made his move upon hearing this.
He wielded a giant ice blade, slashing at two level-eight zombies.
"Whoosh—"
A crisp cutting sound rang out as the ice blade severed the two zombies' bodies, leaving only half of their bodies remaining.
Two purple crystal cores were revealed amidst the flying ice shards.
Lu Nange grabbed Chi Yanzhou: "Gangzi, let go of me!"
The macaw obediently released its claws, and Lu Nange immediately used her wind-based superpowers to levitate in mid-air.
She shouted, "Gangzi, go get the crystal cores!"
"Yes, my beauty!" the macaw cried out excitedly, its two claws wrapped in ice-type magic.
With a swift dive, it flew towards the two level-eight zombies and pulled out the two purple crystal cores.
The instant the crystal core was removed, the two level-eight zombies finally lost all life, collapsing to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust, and remaining motionless forever...
After succeeding, Gangzi immediately swooped down towards Lu Nange, catching both of them on his broad back. Then, he flapped his wings and flew back into the air, speeding towards the gate of the Flameheart Base.
The night breeze ruffled their hair. Lu Nange and Chi Yanzhou were both deathly pale, yet the corners of their mouths curled up in unison.
Despite their powers being almost exhausted and their bodies covered in the marks of battle, at this moment, they knew—Flameheart had held on!
On the gate watchtower...
Upon seeing this, Wen Qing, who had been closely monitoring the battle, immediately put down his sniper rifle, strode to the edge of the watchtower, gripped the railing tightly with both hands, and stood on tiptoe to watch the approaching figure.
As Gangzi gracefully glided down onto the watchtower, Wen Qing was the first to rush forward: "Nan Nan..."
"Sister!" Lu Beiye, who was in the middle of the battle, heard the commotion and launched another wave of golden darts downwards. Then he turned to look at the watchtower, his eyes full of concern.
"Chirp chirp..." The vines instantly strangled the last level-seven zombie, then handed it to Lu Nange, carrying six level-seven zombie cores...
[Master, Master...]
"Sister Wenqing, I can still hold on, you go and see Brother Yan first..." Lu Nange turned over and stood up, then helped the somewhat exhausted Chi Yanzhou down from the back of the macaw.
As soon as he stood firm, Wen Qing's healing power quickly enveloped Chi Yanzhou, and a soft green light flowed around him.
Under the healing influence, Chi Yanzhou's pale complexion visibly regained its rosy hue, and the weakness caused by the excessive consumption of his powers also subsided rapidly.
His furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and his breathing became steady and strong.
Lu Nange leaned against the wall, put the crystal core that Zhizhi handed her into her spatial storage, looked at Lu Beiye and his group who were still watching her while they were fighting, and gave them a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that my powers are a little overdrawn!"
She reached out and ruffled Zhizhi's wavy hair: "Zhizhi...we can't let any of them escape!"
Upon hearing this, the little tree-man instantly went berserk.
"Chirp chirp chirp..." Its roots grew wildly, and thick vines quickly spread along the city wall...
[Those branches that harm their master, not one will be spared!]
The vines intertwined tightly, forming an impenetrable green wall in front of the Flameheart Gate in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that all the level 8 and level 7 zombies had been wiped out, Yu Ren, who was about to slip away, was horrified to find himself trapped in a circle made of vines.
He endured the pain in his back and desperately used his supernatural abilities to slam into the vines, but the newly sprouted vines always filled the gaps even faster...
At this time, Chi Yanzhou had fully recovered.
Wen Qing took out a crystal core from his pocket and held it in his hand, quickly absorbing the energy within.
Chi Yanzhou looked at Lu Nange: "Nannan, I'll go help first!"
Lu Nange nodded slightly, and Chi Yanzhou immediately rushed towards the direction where Lu Xici and the others were.
After Wen Qing absorbed the crystal core, the healing green light became full and bright again.
She turned to Lu Nange, and a gentle, healing energy enveloped him once again.
A warm power flowed slowly through Lu Nange's body, repairing her overdrawn body.
