Not far away, flames shot straight into the sky.
Like a fiery red knife, it sliced a sharp gash through the boundless, dark night, burning one's cheeks.
The jet-black ointment was sprayed in a splatter pattern within the invisible barrier, making it look like a giant container filled with ink.
The villagers, still in shock, huddled together, supporting each other, and stared in amazement at the strange sight before them.
The instant the explosion occurred, Xu Yi used spatial containment to lock all the remains of the oil zombies inside the barrier.
Otherwise, given the immense energy of this level seven zombie's explosion, everything within a ten-meter radius would be blasted to the ground.
However, if Xu Yi tries to completely contain this enormous energy, he will also suffer a strong backlash from it.
Lu Sheng turned around nervously and saw that Xu Yi's face was pale and the half-rimmed glasses on his nose were shattered into several pieces.
"fine."
Xu Yi smiled faintly and casually patted Lu Sheng on the head.
Although he concealed it well, the corner of his mouth still twitched slightly and unnaturally when he raised his hand.
Micro-expressions on the body don't lie.
Lu Sheng immediately took out a 500ml bottle of crystal core extract from his spatial storage and shoved it into Xu Yi's hand without saying a word.
"No, even if Teacher Xu is weak, we can't just fill up on water." Zhang Xiaojuan looked bewildered.
It's true that you should drink more hot water when in doubt, but drinking so much at once can be quite a burden!
"This is crystal core extract, which can replenish your superpowers and physical condition in a short time." Lu Sheng gently touched Xu Yi's hand and pushed the extract towards him.
Previously, she had been too lazy to explain, so she had been quietly adding the extract to their regular food. Now that she's being so direct, it's better.
"I asked, and we didn't fire the gun." Qi Peng, still shaken and panting, ran over and explained apologetically, "There are only two homemade guns in our village. I just checked, and the number of bullets matches."
Qi Yue trembled as she hugged the carrion pig, her voice filled with deep fear, "Sister, we really didn't fire the gun."
Although she couldn't understand the principles behind Xu Yi's superpower, she could roughly guess that Lu Sheng and the others must have used some method to control the explosion.
Lu Sheng and his group looked at each other in bewilderment. If it wasn't a villager who fired the gun, then who was it?
The fire inside the barrier was showing signs of slowing down. Lu Sheng was preparing to examine the corpses of the oil zombies to see if he could find any clues on the bullets.
After Xu Yi canceled the spatial barrier, Lu Sheng lowered his head and poked at the zombie with his Tang sword. Unexpectedly, the level seven zombie was still not completely dead.
The moment her blade touched the monster's shoulder, the already disfigured creature screamed in agony, its body writhing wildly like a silkworm, desperately trying to break free from Lu Sheng's attack.
"This thing's healing ability is truly terrifying..." Zhang Xiaojuan squatted down beside it and curiously touched her nose.
Such a violent explosion failed to kill the monster. If they hadn't killed it immediately, it could have survived if given just a little breathing time.
Lu Sheng picked up the knife and plunged it into the monster's forehead one last time.
The level seven zombie suddenly let out a shrill scream, its massive body convulsed violently a few times, and finally ended its sinful life.
Lu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sticky ointment off his face, and used the tip of his knife to pick out the crystal core from the oily zombie's head.
Just as the group was about to turn around to check on the villagers' injuries, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Boss!"
Lu Sheng turned around at the sound and saw a familiar figure emerging from the small hillside beside the national highway.
The bespectacled young man came running down the hillside, panting, and waved excitedly to Lu Sheng and the others, "Are you alright?"
He looked extremely disheveled after not seeing him for a few days.
His K3 base combat uniform was torn to shreds, his skin was red and swollen, and his face was covered in large and small bumps from insect bites. He looked like he had swollen up a lot.
Zhang Xiaojuan's gaze fell on the gun in the bespectacled young man's hand. "You fired the shot?"
"How about that? My marksmanship is pretty good, right?" The bespectacled guy chuckled, weighing the gun barrel in his hand. "I saw the boss fighting with the zombie, so I helped by firing a shot."
Lu Sheng and the others: "..."
"You call that a finishing shot? You're just helping the zombie finish off Sister Lu!" Zhang Xiaojuan angrily punched the bespectacled guy in the chest.
Seeing that Lu Sheng and the others didn't look too good, the bespectacled guy looked bewildered and rubbed the spot where Zhang Xiaojuan had punched him, looking aggrieved, "What happened..."
"This zombie was covered in oil, and you shot it and it exploded, almost killing everyone! If it weren't for Teacher Xu, you would be here to pick up the corpse right now."
Zhang Xiaojuan grew angrier the more she thought about it, and finally swung her fist, landing it lightly on his shoulder.
"It was too dark... I really couldn't see clearly, I'm sorry, boss."
Realizing he had almost made a huge mistake, the bespectacled young man dejectedly apologized to Lu Sheng, "I thought you were the one who dealt with the zombies during the explosion..."
"Alright, help me deal with these lawnmowers first."
Lu Sheng glanced away indifferently and called on everyone to help clean up the lawnmower to see if it could be salvaged.
In any case, Qi Yue and Qi Peng, along with the other villagers, did help them deal with the swamp beast and then carried it away for so long using a lawnmower.
The Qijia Village convoy had a total of fifteen lawnmowers. Eight of them were burned in the battle, and the remaining ones were also damaged to varying degrees and were unable to travel for the time being.
Most of the food they brought was burned, but after some rescue efforts, they managed to salvage some rice and potatoes.
