He waved his hands, and a surge of powerful lightning crackled around him. The other lightning-based ability users immediately gathered their own lightning power...
Crackling and popping—sizzling!
Not a line, not a piece, but a whole sheet!
A giant lightning carpet, made of blood and ice water as conductors and covering almost half of the front line, suddenly "rose" up from the damp ground!
The blinding flash of lightning instantly dispelled the surrounding crimson and darkness, leaving only devastating brilliance.
"Heh...heh heh—!"
The horde of zombies, enveloped within, staged a collective spasm.
The low-level zombies instantly turned black and started smoking, then collapsed convulsing. The mid-level zombies had their skin torn open and emitted a shrill 'hoarse' sound.
Even the tough, hard-hitting level seven zombies were electrocuted, their limbs stiffening and their movements slowing down...
The close cooperation and efficient killing pushed the team's strength, trust, and tacit understanding to their extreme at this moment.
Everyone is overdrawing their energy, everyone is carrying wounds, but when our eyes meet, we see the same flame—we can hold on!
On the ground, the corpses of zombies were piled up in layers, making it almost impossible to find a place to step.
The air was thick with an overwhelming stench of burning, blood, and a cloying, sweet smell of rapidly decomposing corpses...
Each breath felt like swallowing rusty iron filings stained with blood.
Lu Nange suppressed the level eight mental-type zombie with her mental power, and occasionally had to unleash a wave of wind-type attacks...
Her world was filled with endless noise, and the veins on her forehead throbbed. She was supported only by the Qingming Pill and her willpower.
The situation wasn't much better for Shi Xu either...
His face was even paler than Lu Nange's, and his lips were tightly pressed together.
Simultaneously turning two level-seven zombies against their will and maintaining their operations was already his limit, perhaps even beyond it...
He felt as if his mental energy was being repeatedly rubbed on sandpaper, each manipulation bringing sharp pain.
But he dared not let go; the two turned level-seven zombies were frantically attacking their kin around them...
The two of them were like two bowstrings stretched to their limit... poised to snap at any moment.
All senses and attention were fixed on this bloody inferno before them, calculating every attack, patching up every loophole, and squeezing out the last bit of strength.
Even the branches were the same; the vines were strangling those troublesome high-level zombies, but countless branching, thin vines were nimbly weaving through the pile of corpses.
All its attention is focused on the battlefield beneath its feet...
Extreme focus often means being oblivious to greater dangers.
Not far away, where 003 stood silently, the figure of the 'boss' had already appeared without a sound.
003 hunched over in an almost defensive posture, his neck slightly hunched, and his voice from under his hood carried an undisguised tension and awe.
"...boss."
"Useless." The two words were spoken without any emotion, and there was not even a hint of anger in them.
The sound wasn't loud, but it made 003's tense back sag even more.
"They took so many of my 'toys,' and they can't even handle a bunch of ants. 004..."
004, who had been standing like a shadow behind 003, moved upon hearing the sound.
She leaned forward slightly and raised her arm—*pfft!*
A short blade pierced 003's temple, causing him to sway and fall forward limply.
004 drew his short blade expressionlessly, took a half step back, and stood still again.
Throughout the entire ordeal, the 'boss' never once looked at the fallen 003, not even for a moment...
