In the distance, something seemed to be awakened, and the earth hummed from afar, like thunder rolling in from a distance, as if a thousand troops were approaching.
A dark red mountain rose abruptly from the distance, its terrifying shape visible even from a great distance. The "mountain" moved slowly, emanating a terrifying aura that made one's heart tremble even from a distance.
"Looks like you're not the only ones who want to challenge me." Shi Yin crossed her arms and shook her head slightly as she looked at the War Knights' condition. "It seems they're not as good as you. Can you finish this in five minutes?"
Everyone swallowed hard and shook their heads as they looked at the mirrored zombies slowly approaching them from the center.
Among the top-tier skill users, Gu Changge, who had just awakened his second superpower, had quickly reached a draw with Lin Beiyue, while Lin Beiyue was able to outmatch Ye Shaoheng.
However, to everyone's surprise, no one could defeat Qin Jin.
Only Guan Nianshan, whose golden words are a bug, can rival Qin Jin; everyone else really avoids lightning.
Fire powers can insulate against heat, and ice can be resisted through various means, but electricity... there's really no way to completely block it. When an electric grid is laid out, there are always gaps to slip through. If you manage to get in, you'll end up doing a breakdance and foaming at the mouth.
Protective suits are not 100% airtight, otherwise a person would suffocate inside. When a person's skin touches lightning and "cracks," their muscles will involuntarily and uncontrollably tremble.
Qin Jin, being a former special forces soldier, is a top-notch fighter; he can basically be knocked down with just one electric shock.
And now, this mirror image zombie possesses 80% of Qin Jin's superpowers.
They can certainly fight, but five minutes is going too far; they wouldn't even have time to finish setting up their tactics.
"What's there to be afraid of? You'll get used to it after a few shocks." Shi Yin looked at the group of people who were backing down, puzzled: "It's not that hard."
“Sister Yin, we’re not the same.” Lin Beiyue was almost in tears: “I’ve only been training for half a year, and I’m so far behind Brother Qin, who came from a special forces background.”
"We're just ordinary soldiers, how can we compare to Brother Qin?" Yan Qi was also on the verge of tears: "Ten minutes is about right, we really can't do it in five minutes!"
Ye Shaoheng: "...Don't look at me, my entire armor is conductive!"
Other people's protective suits are more or less insulated from electricity, and you only need to be careful of gaps. But once Ye Shaoheng puts on his armor, his whole body becomes a giant conductor.
Qin Jin could electrocute him!
"Alright." Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads, Shi Yin had no choice but to take the dagger and step forward.
She still didn't use any special abilities.
The closer they got, the more similar the mirrored zombie's head became to Qin Jin's face, even down to the expressions and movements.
"Up close, it really does look quite similar," Shi Yin said calmly. "I'm actually quite looking forward to fighting my own mirror image."
"...Sister Yin..."
To everyone's astonishment, the mirror image zombie actually spoke, and even its voice was exactly the same as Qin Jin's. Perhaps intimidated by Shi Yin's aura, the zombie even stuttered for a moment.
The group's hearts sank. They had been clinging to a sliver of hope that the zombies might simply be replicating their power, and that they could react quickly if they could recognize them in time.
But now they suddenly realized that what they had encountered was probably the most basic mirror zombie. Just like the manipulators are divided into low-level and high-level, some manipulators are only a little over two meters tall, but some manipulators are as tall as three or four stories.
The mirror image zombie in front of him had already taken shape. Its appearance and voice were exactly the same as Qin Jin's, and it even imitated the habit of shrugging its shoulders.
Shi Yin raised her dagger and pointed it at the mirror image zombie: "What a clumsy imitation."
Qin Jin's mirror image zombie paused for a moment, its entire face contorted with rage as if it were filled with fury. It had hesitated a bit when it saw Shi Yin coming alone, but now it just glared fiercely at Shi Yin.
"...Food!!" the mirror zombie roared, waving its arms towards the sky.
Cumulus clouds appeared in the sky, and a flash of lightning appeared.
"Wait." Shi Yin uttered a single word softly: "The mirror image's ability is a 1:1 restoration, but its strength is not. After all, they are zombies, and their bodies are no longer human."
"What defeats you is fear."
Shi Yin's figure suddenly moved. Thunder flashed and roared. She stood there calmly like a bewildered deer, but she moved as the thunder struck.
She moved, her speed seemingly unremarkable, yet she dodged the tiny thunderclap as if she had anticipated it.
"Qin Jin, your current strength is only C+. Even if it's 80%, how much stronger can you be?"
Accompanied by ethereal sounds, Shi Yin's figure moved erratically to the left and right, accompanied by flashing thunder and lightning balls that left the audience breathless.
Each time, Shi Yin was able to precisely dodge after the pause.
“The enemy’s eyes can speak. If it wants to attack me, I am the target. I just need to change from a fixed target to a non-fixed target, and this kind of off-hand skill will land in an open space.”
"roar---"
The zombie was enraged. It didn't have much intelligence, but it vaguely sensed that Shi Yin wasn't paying any attention to it at all.
Shiyin was teaching while fighting it!
The mirror zombie stomped its foot, and a string of lightning spread from its feet, forming an electric grid on the ground. The bluish-purple lightning was difficult to spot because it was hidden in the grass, but Shi Yin once again predicted its movements and did a backflip, landing just outside the lightning circle.
"The range of a superpower is directly proportional to one's strength. This is based on experience and is also a rule. You don't have to be that precise, but you should be able to subconsciously step outside the range."
"Moreover, this kind of large-scale terrain control ability consumes the most energy, and if the first strike misses, it is easy to fall into a disadvantageous position."
The zombie in the mirror image of Qin Jin was already a little panicked. It didn't know what panic was, but seeing Shi Yin dodging so smoothly, it subconsciously understood that it seemed to have provoked a hunter stronger than itself.
A human-like expression, seemingly one of desperate effort, appeared on the zombie's face. Lightning crackled violently in its hand as it raised a huge ball of lightning and hurled it down.
A thunderclap struck the ground, blasting a large crater in the grass.
"Snap!"
Almost everyone's heart trembled violently with the roar of the thunderball, and although the bright light flashed, Shi Yin's figure could not be seen.
In an instant, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.
"slow."
Shi Yin's voice was so close it was almost next to the zombie's ear, a change that startled even the mirror image zombie.
At that moment, everyone saw that slender, black figure, with flowing long hair, graceful posture, and arriving gracefully.
Still missed!
At this moment, Shi Yin had already reached the back of the mirror zombie. The mirror zombie's face showed confusion and astonishment, and Shi Yin had replaced the dagger in her hand with a machete.
The zombie tried to struggle, its fingernails crackling with lightning as it clawed backward.
But at that very moment, the massive cleaver swept upwards from below, cleanly, decisively, and with lightning speed!
The lightning in the mirror zombie's hand stopped abruptly, half of its head flew off and landed on the grass not far away, while the remaining half of its body remained standing.
It seems it doesn't understand that it is already dead.
It took a full two seconds for the half-body mirror image of the zombie to collapse with a thud, and a blue-green power flew out from it and attached itself to Shi Yin.
Without using any special abilities, just the simplest weapon transformations, and with speeds even within the range of normal humans, he killed the zombies that were giving everyone a headache!
