There were many high-level zombies, each of them very strong, but fortunately, after the three of them cooperated a few times, they gradually became more coordinated in their attacks.
If you threw either Nan Zhu or Freya in, they would probably die a horrible death, but with the three of them working together, especially with the exceptionally powerful Shi Yin, everything seemed to become much simpler.
Shi Yin was in a good mood and pointed at Nan Zhu a few times.
Unlike the original Shi Yin, who resolutely refused to force their growth and let them experience their abilities on their own, this Shi Yin was happy to guide them.
Aside from Freya's ability being somewhat unfathomable, Nanzhu's ability, Shiyin, seems to have considerable insight.
Before long, Nanzhu was able to resonate with Freya's powers to relieve Shiyin's pressure while transferring the power of other monsters, turning the damage from these monsters onto themselves and causing chaos within these zombies.
Pink ice crystals exploded like fireworks amidst the zombie horde. Although they were somewhat vulnerable to these advanced zombies, shattering the ice crystals in just a few blows, their offensive power was undeniable.
A burst of ice crystals would be fatal even to a high-level zombie.
Shi Yin landed directly in the horde of zombies, wielding her snow-white longsword with dazzling skill. The sword light flashed, leaving clean cuts wherever it passed. Even the hardest bones could not be pierced by the longsword.
This Shion seems to be very skilled at using clones and ice-related abilities.
A layer of frost rose wherever the clone passed, causing all approaching zombies to slow down.
Furthermore, the frost condensed precisely at the joints of the zombies, wasting no energy at all. The crimson sky paired with the snow-white sword light was quite a sight to behold.
In just three days, the three of them managed to clear out all the high-level zombies in a stronghold and even found some supplies to send back to the shelter.
"Looks like this isn't a lab; we didn't find any experimental data." Shi Yin thoroughly searched this dangerous area, turning it upside down. "Hopefully, we can bring this experimental data back before Grandpa Qian collapses, to see if we can invent something like a serum..."
"Serum?" Freya was taken aback: "These zombies..."
Isn't it because of a genetic issue that there's no serum?
But the next moment, Freya suddenly realized that Tokine might not know any of this at all.
They probably think that the zombies in the world are caused by a virus remaining in their bodies, and that as long as they have serum, they can turn the zombies back to their original state, or prevent humans from being infected by the zombie virus.
"Right? If we could turn some of the zombies back into normal, the pressure wouldn't be so great." Shi Yin said somewhat dejectedly, "Maybe we could... Be careful!"
Nan Zhu was stunned for a moment, but Shi Yin had already grabbed his arm. Shi Yin's face was so close that it made him gasp for breath.
The next moment, a dark figure suddenly emerged from behind, a cold dagger in its hand flashing with a chilling light, stabbing towards the center of Nan Zhu's back. First, a barrage of hidden weapons shot out, then the dagger plunged fiercely into his back.
The darts, dense and overwhelming, rained down like a storm. Under the sunlight, they were so bright that it was hard to look directly at them, yet they all passed through the two men without causing any harm, and all of them were stuck in the wall behind them.
In the blink of an eye, Shi Yin had already pulled Nan Zhu to the other side.
The posture is a bit strange.
Shi Yin was very strong and tall. Nan Zhu lost his balance when she was pulled like that and fell halfway into Shi Yin's arms. It was like an old-fashioned domineering CEO dragging his runaway sweetheart wife and saying, "Woman, you are playing with fire."
Freya: "Pfft..."
You know what, Nan Zhu's long hair actually suits the occasion quite well. When Shi Yin nestles in his arms, who can tell the difference between his wife and Nan Zhu?
Nan Zhu: "……………"
"How old are you to still resort to sneak attacks? Lucifer." Shi Yin helped Nan Zhu steady herself and stood in front of the two with a smile: "You only sent your clone? Half of your power isn't enough, is it?"
At this moment, Freya and Nanzhu finally saw Lucifer's true appearance.
It was something that resembled a human but could not be called human, its body covered in blue and red scales, its long tail seemed to drag stars, and it had a pair of crimson dragon wings behind it.
But it must be admitted that he was beautiful. Even though his whole body could no longer be described as human, his face was still breathtakingly beautiful.
His face, not covered by scales, had deep-set eyes and brows, sculpted like David in a church. His cloak fluttered behind him, revealing a well-proportioned and beautifully muscular body. If it weren't for the demonic abnormality on his body, some might have called him an angel.
“I still think you should stand by me, Shi Yin.” Lucifer’s voice was gentle: “No one with superpowers is happy, and we are even more unfortunate. Humans deserve our hatred.”
"What an unconvincing attempt at persuasion," Shi Yin complained.
"There's nothing wrong with joining me. Join the zombies, and you'll be a high-ranking member of the zombies." Lucifer wasn't annoyed; instead, he gave a gentle smile: "Join the New World, and you can make all the zombies in the world submit to you. You can make them commit suicide and die on the spot, or you can tame them and make them coexist peacefully with humans, no longer harming them."
"Now that you mention it, it does sound tempting, but are you really not being kept in captivity?" Shi Yin crossed her arms and laughed with a hint of sarcasm. "Being a zombie leader by being fed by humans raised by those guys is quite something... In the end, aren't you just a puppet?"
If zombies don't eat humans, they will gradually lose their vitality and die. Humans, unable to withstand the zombie attacks, will see their numbers drastically decrease, creating a vicious cycle.
Behind these zombies is a group of people who control human breeding farms. After becoming zombies, they lose their human nature and consciousness, and with their different thinking, it becomes difficult for them to support humans.
Therefore, those people are really not easy for zombies to kill.
“Does it matter? They fawn over me, worship me, and can’t live without me. No one stronger than me will appear, except you.” As he spoke, Lucifer actually knelt on one knee, his face gentle: “We can raise more two-legged sheep, so we won’t be controlled by them. Just kill them.”
"Overthrow them? You could do that yourself, right?" Shi Yin raised an eyebrow.
“I just said it, it’s not important. Rather than suffer and toil myself, why not accept being worshipped like a god?” Lucifer waved his hand with a smile: “I made this suggestion only because you wanted to.”
The snow-white sword light pierced towards him with lightning speed. Lucifer's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly jumped up from the ground to retreat, but he was still stabbed in the shoulder.
Fortunately, he retreated quickly; otherwise, if that sword had pierced his heart, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed. His crystal core was located inside his heart.
"Tch." Shi Yin sheathed her longsword and twirled it beautifully. "Didn't expect me to find your important stronghold so quickly? Using a clone to test me was your biggest oversight."
“I don’t even need to change my weapons to deal with your clone, you idiot.” Shi Yin sneered, “Rather than becoming some high-ranking zombie, I’d rather use your corpse to praise the brilliance of my remaining life.”
"However, considering how handsome you are, I'll go easy on you. I hope you won't be disfigured on your first public appearance."
