"Sis! Why are you all alone? Where's brother-in-law... oops! Jiang Qinian?"
The two rushed out in a panic, not even properly dressed. When they saw the zombies on the ground, Lin Yu almost cursed.
Staying up so late at night, even zombies are launching surprise attacks, huh!
Lin Anran put everything back into her spatial storage and looked around with a serious expression.
"Be vigilant!"
In an instant, a steady stream of zombies poured out from the bushes on both sides.
There appeared to be thousands, or even more, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The faces were covered with black and red rotting flesh; some were missing arms, some were missing half a leg, and some even had their intestines protruding from their stomachs.
But none of this affects their speed.
They ran towards them with their gaping maws wide open, baring their teeth and claws.
"Ho—"
"Ho—"
The fastest runner was a young man wearing sportswear and brand-name running shoes. He was probably a sports student before he became a zombie, and he awakened his speed ability after becoming a zombie.
He was incredibly fast, and despite missing half his face and having a limp, it didn't affect his speed at all.
Its blood-red mouth opened in a particularly eerie manner as it reached out to grab Lin Anran, who was closest to it.
Lin Anran was shocked. The zombies had actually awakened superpowers?
The mutated zombies we encountered before were just ordinary zombies that had no consciousness.
Just as the speed zombie charged forward, at the critical moment, Lin Anran swung her military knife and slashed directly at the speed zombie's head.
The speed zombie was very fast, and Lin Anran only managed to cut off one of its ears.
"Ho—"
He slipped into the horde of zombies, transforming into an ordinary zombie and remaining until the very end.
The three stood back to back, the scent of food making the zombies even more excited, and they pounced on them in a frenzy.
This was the first time Gu Chen had encountered so many zombies, and he gasped in shock at the sight of the endless horde of them.
He gripped his military knife tightly and, without the slightest hesitation, slashed down the zombie running at the front.
"Sis! We're surrounded!"
Although the three of them possessed superpowers, they couldn't withstand the onslaught of so many zombies, not to mention the presence of some mutated zombies among them.
Lin Anran brandished her military knife, while her vines weaved through the horde of zombies. "We've encountered a zombie horde! Be careful! Watch out for mutated zombies!"
Lin Yu: "Okay!"
Gu Chen: "Received!"
Second by second, one zombie after another fell into pools of blood, reeking of decay and decay.
Gu Chen was the first to run out of strength. He was breathing heavily, throwing ice spikes out of his hand.
Seeing an opportunity, the speed zombie charged out from the horde of zombies, its sharp teeth about to bite the exhausted Gu Chen, when suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the zombie's head.
"Gu Chen! Watch out behind you!"
Although Lin Yu was also a little exhausted, his strong will allowed him to stand there firmly.
Lin Anran breathed heavily; there were simply too many zombies to kill them all.
She quickly went to Lin Yu's side, "Xiao Yu, here, drink this quickly!"
After Lin Yu took it, she quickly ran to Gu Chen's side.
After drinking the spiritual spring water, their supernatural abilities slowly recovered, and only four or five hundred zombies remained.
The three charged into the zombie horde again. One of the zombies, hiding in the shadows, saw the Speed Zombie's head being chopped off and hurled a fireball at Gu Chen, who had his back to it.
"Watch out! Get out of the way!"
Lin Anran shouted, but it was too late. Gu Chen dodged the largest fireball by sidestepping, but it still grazed his arm.
The arm was instantly rotted by the fire, and a large burn looked horrifying.
Gu Chen quickly applied the ice puck to the wound, and it froze. "Hiss!"
He endured the throbbing pain in his arm, and with the ice spikes in his hand, he pierced through the heads of several zombies before charging towards the fire-type zombie that was unleashing a fireball.
However, the fire-type zombie was prepared and easily dodged it.
Lin Anran shouted at the two of them, "Xiaoyu! You take care of Xiaochen, I'll handle that fire-type zombie!"
"good!"
Faced with Lin Anran, the fire-type zombie was instinctively a little afraid. Seeing that it couldn't dodge, it reached out and pulled a nearby ordinary zombie to block the fatal attack.
The ordinary zombie was instantly pierced through the belly by the mutated vines, and its intestines spilled out.
"Ho—"
The fire-type zombie kept throwing fireballs at Lin Anran, preventing her from getting close to the zombie.
She had to find a way to get close to the zombie, otherwise she wouldn't be able to deliver a fatal blow.
The two fought back and forth between the man and the zombie, and Lin Yu and Gu Chen had already eliminated most of the ordinary zombies.
Gu Chen's eyes were bloodshot with rage. "Xiao Yu! Go help your sister, leave these to me!"
Lin Yu: "No! You're already injured! I have to protect you."
Unbeknownst to them, Lin Anran and the fire-type zombie had escaped the fighting. The fire-type zombie kept hiding in the woods, but the woods happened to be Lin Anran's natural habitat.
Swoosh—
The fire-type zombie had a thick tree branch pierce its head, cutting off most of its brain, but it still kept trying to escape.
Lin Anran tied her vines to its two legs, and with a swift stroke, she cut down, and the fire-type crystal core fell out of its head.
"Phew~"
Picking up the crystal core from the ground, she didn't linger and returned to the spot she had just come from. Lin Yu and the other person had just finished dealing with the last zombie.
Lin Yu and Gu Chen collapsed to the ground, looking utterly exhausted. Sweat dripped from their foreheads, their bangs soaked with sweat, making them look like refugees fleeing famine.
Lin Anran put the tent out again and let Gu Chen go inside to apply medicine to him. After a while, Lin Yu looked at the crystal cores all over the ground and his mood instantly improved.
"Hiss~"
In that emergency, he sealed the wound with ice, partly to reduce tissue damage caused by the high temperature, but more importantly, because he was afraid that the zombie blood would infect him through the wound. Who could he complain to?
Lin Anran gently cut off the clothes that Gu Chen was sticking to the wound, revealing a burn scar with exposed bone at the deep black wound.
Lin Anran's heart clenched. Ouch! It looked terrifying! She moved even more carefully, afraid of hurting the wound.
Gu Chen endured the pain from his wound, gripping the bedsheet tightly in his hand. He didn't utter a sound, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He only fainted after Lin Anran wrapped a gauze around his neck.
Lin Anran quietly withdrew, and Lin Yu, after cleaning up the crystal cores on the ground, asked worriedly, "How is Gu Chen? Is he alright?"
"He's alright! The wound has been treated, but it was too deep, and he passed out."
