Chapter 63 ended and I was stuck with it.
It's too late!
The parasitic zombies chased after the group, smashing and destroying everything in their path. The building collapsed, and falling rocks blocked the staircase.
Drinking alone under the moon, I ran to the window and looked down. It was the third floor. Her golden thread held me back and cushioned the impact, preventing me from falling and getting seriously injured.
"Jump! You guys go down first, I'll hold you back?"
Mole House used to be a high school student, and he was afraid of heights. He swallowed hard with a look of surprise and uncertainty, his eyes wide open. Was he going to jump down and feed the zombies?
Jiang Baiyue let out a breath; time was of the essence, and there was no time to think too much.
She first threw out two Molotov cocktails, burning and crippling the zombies gathered downstairs.
"Let's go down. Let my mercenaries go down first; they'll cover us as we clear out the zombies around us."
The mercenary was wearing protective gear, and for her own safety, going down first was the best option.
"Hurry up! This rock can't be blocked."
The rock giant used all its might to block the stairwell with the massive stone it had conjured, and the force of its tentacles whipping and its axe slamming down was heavy with each strike.
He barely managed to keep his balance by bracing his heels against the wall at the corner of the stairs.
If they don't jump down quickly, their path ahead will be blocked, and their path behind will be surrounded by parasitic and climbing zombies. They'll be easy prey.
Jiang Baiyue had just told the mercenaries to jump down and clear out the zombies when she saw several mercenaries jump down as lightly as balloons, before Yuexia Duzhuo could even prepare to wrap gold threads around their waists.
Before landing, he used the heads of the helmeted zombies for leverage, then unleashed a barrage of shots, wiping out a group of zombies with low health.
"Wow, that's amazing!! Is this what mercenaries are like?"
Drinking Alone Under the Moon paused for a moment, then, realizing what was happening, extended a golden thread and wrapped it around the Mole's House: "Don't just stand there! Jump!"
Jiang Baiyue felt much more at ease. Mercenaries were practically godlike beings; they were incredibly fierce!
She yelled for the mercenaries to catch her, and then nimbly jumped down.
The wind howled, Jiang Baiyue's heart raced, her skin flushed, and her muscles tensed.
That was so exciting!
However, the process only took a few seconds. She was caught by Mercenary Number 3 at the waist and then gently put down.
The mercenaries performed difficult moves as easily as drinking water or eating, without even breaking a sweat.
Many hands make light work. Jiang Baiyue had Mercenary Number 3 help catch the people behind them, as this would buy some time for her own escape.
As the last person jumped down, the parasitic zombie's tentacles immediately followed, roaring and snarling as it crawled out of the window.
They don't even need to climb stairs; they can climb down by using the tentacles to wrap around them.
Jiang Baiyue and Yuexia Duzhuo used their superpowers to stop the parasitic zombies from attacking the rock giant until he landed safely. Only then did they run away to an open space.
With the battle space wide open, the group of people were able to attack without any worries.
The four mercenaries and Yuexia Duzhuo were responsible for clearing out the ordinary zombies that surrounded them, while Jiang Baiyue and Mole House, who had the ability to create a water curtain, used their abilities against the parasitic zombies.
The culprit who nearly killed him was someone so handsome he had no friends, who stood on a high place and fired shots without saying a word.
As soon as the parasitic zombie discharges electricity, the Mole House seizes the opportunity to release a water curtain, blocking the lightning ball from being released, and instead electrocutes itself.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Baiyue released a fireball to burn its tentacles. She didn't believe that the tentacles could regenerate infinitely.
The parasitic zombie couldn't get close to the group for a while, and its health was dropping rapidly. It gradually felt threatened, so it extended a tentacle, wrapped it around a helmeted zombie that was avoiding it, and fed it directly into its mouth to replenish its energy.
"They even eat their own kind!!"
"It's replenishing its energy, stop it!"
After drinking alone under the moon, he retreated behind the mercenary and used the golden threads to entangle the helmeted zombie that the parasitic zombie had wrapped around. The man and the zombie began a tug-of-war.
The tug-of-war lasted for two hours. They finally wore down the parasitic zombie. After barely managing to clear out the other zombies, everyone except the mercenaries was too exhausted to stand up and squatted on the ground to rest and replenish their energy.
Jiang Baiyue secured the final kill, and after resting and regaining her strength, she got up to open the resource chest.
A C-grade copper resource box.
1x Different Energy Core, 10x Energy Crystals, 16x Mechanical Parts, 1x Double-Edged Iron Axe, 80x Universal Bullets, 2500x Coins, 15x Chips, 9x Claws, 8x Active Cells, 23x Blood Sacs, 4x Blades, 11x Batteries.
Following Jiang Baiyue's gaze, the man drinking alone under the moonlight carefully chose his words and said, "Hmm...we want a different energy core, friend. We'd like to replenish our supplies, what do you think?"
"You know this zombie has a supernatural energy core?"
The other party was very certain, stating that the resource box information was only shown to her personally, and that she, sitting alone on the ground under the moon, hadn't even seen the contents of the resource box before making such a statement...
The Mole House said proudly, "Hey, I have a tool that can be used to search for treasure."
Having shared life and death together, Mole House's affection for Jiang Baiyue increased, and without thinking, their mouths spoke faster than their brains.
Jiang Baiyue sighed, "This tool seems even more powerful than my talent; I can find treasure just by searching."
One doesn't realize their own talent is a treasure until they see it.
Drinking alone under the moon, rubbing his forehead, can't he just say it's his own guess? After all, it's common knowledge that killing bosses and opening resource boxes can get alien energy cores.
"No. My goal is also a heterogeneous energy core."
Jiang Baiyue refused, as she had already contributed a lot, and the other things wouldn't be of much use to her.
Mole House's face froze: "Ah—, friend, can we exchange other materials? Our team came out today specifically to collect alien energy cores for our comrades."
Jiang Baiyue gestured her refusal, putting the alien energy core into her backpack, taking 1500 coins from the other items, and then taking the blood sac and active cells as well.
She had never seen these two items before, nor were they in the warehouse.
Seeing that there was no hope for a solo drink under the moon, he could only pull the hand of the Mole House, who still wanted to continue the discussion.
He was so handsome that he had no friends, but he felt guilty because he had once tried to assassinate Jiang Baiyue. He thought that since he couldn't awaken his superpower this time, he would let it go next time.
"Forget it, this was such a close call, we only managed to defeat this boss thanks to this friend, so let's just take the other supplies."
Regardless of their internal distribution, Jiang Baiyue took her own supplies and led a few mercenaries to continue exploring the school.
Drinking Alone Under the Moon, I looked at the uninjured mercenaries with steady steps and felt a little envious. This person must be the base commander of the White Moon Base.
I heard that the White Moon Base has been upgraded to Level 2, and can accommodate more residents.
"Friend, friend, let's team up. We're not weak either... How about we get a different energy core?"
I don't know what Shuai De Wu You Peng is thinking, but I feel that since he was chosen by everyone, he wouldn't say such a thing for no reason.
He thought about his status as a lazy bum and figured that Yuexia Duzhu must know this, and it seemed he was trying to curry favor.
He chimed in, "We can ask for less of the other supplies."
