Li Kun stared at her, but after hearing Eve's words, his angry expression disappeared like evaporated mist, and was gradually replaced by a look of discrimination.
He broke out in a fit of laughter.
"What?" He laughed enough and looked at Eve sarcastically, "Just you? Can you snatch the nuclear crystal from me?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand threateningly, and the ground beneath his feet began to bubble up with foam, which even caused a crack to appear on the marble slabs covering it.
"This is seriously the best joke of the year I've ever heard," Li Kun said arrogantly, his eyes wide open. "Let me think about it—a healing type actually wants to go against a nature type?!"
This is like hitting a rock with an egg.
Eve was not mocked by him. Instead, she sighed and showed a slightly troubled expression.
"I didn't expect to hear such words in this world," she muttered. "It's really heartwarming."
After all, when a large number of bounty hunters and mercenaries came to hunt her for the high bounty, they discovered that the notorious necromancer was just a young girl, and they also laughed the same way.
but……
Eve grasped a nuclear crystal and injected magic power into her body.
Don’t those hunters who come in large numbers end up being the hunted?
What did she think of? She suddenly smiled.
The zombies created by bounty hunters are quite useful, and they save time in finding new corpses. The best part is the look on their faces when they see their former companions become the lackeys of the necromancer witch. Is it really...
The memories brought back emotions, and a blush appeared on her fair face. Eve licked her lips lightly.
"Hey," she softly called out to Li Kun, "Have you ever competed with your companions? Who's stronger?"
Li Kun's eyes were filled with vigilance: "What do you want to do?"
"You don't want to tell me?" Eve was a little disappointed, but then she smiled again. "It doesn't matter. You'll know soon anyway."
Li Kun noticed that she was still absorbing the energy of the nuclear crystal, and the exhausted gems were thrown around casually, like some gray waste rocks.
"Little girl," he said coldly, "it seems that you have turned a deaf ear to my warning?"
He clenched his fists, and huge energy gathered in his palms.
"Did I ever tell you that if you keep messing around, you'll suffer?"
“Bang!”
As he uttered the last word, the surface of the wall behind Eve suddenly began to boil, and a sharp spike made of mud rushed out. She was unable to dodge and was directly pierced through the left arm.
Eve groaned, "...cough!"
She was hanging in the air, unable to move. Li Kun came over and slapped her: "Stop pretending. Where is your healing ability? You can use it now."
Having said that, the earth thorn was still stuck on Eve's shoulder. If she tried to regenerate flesh and blood, it would only add to her pain.
"Well... I've always been curious about something." Eve slowly turned her head and looked at Li Kun, her face revealed from under her messy hair.
Even though she was in a mess now, her shoulder was almost soaked with blood, and her cheeks were red and swollen, she still had a sweet smile on her face.
She was hung high in the air by earth spikes, her feet off the ground, like some kind of strange sacrifice.
But it also seems like the Lycoris radiata blooming in hell, with an alluring scent like blood.
——What is there? Something? It is wriggling faintly under that delicate face, almost about to break out of the cocoon.
"Why do you all like to beat people up? Does it feel good? Does it give you a sense of accomplishment?" She spoke slowly, her smile growing sweeter like honey flowing down her face. "But—I'm afraid of pain."
There’s something wrong with this woman, Li Kun thought to himself as he stared at Eve.
But he couldn't show weakness in front of Eve. He just sneered, "What's the problem? If you don't obey the rules, you must accept the punishment. People like you will only suffer more at the base. I'm just teaching you a lesson in advance."
"Really?" Eve raised her eyebrows. "Then I'll teach you a lesson about reciprocity."
She supported herself against the wall with her backhand and exerted force with her arms. The earth spike made a sticky sound when it pulled at her flesh and blood. Li Kun's scalp tightened when he heard it. However, Eve pulled herself out of the earth spike as if nothing had happened.
“Plop!”
She fell to the ground suddenly, landing right next to the unconscious Qi. Eve wiped the blood on her hands on him, then stood up and smiled at Li Kun: "Look behind you."
Li Kun almost laughed: "Idiot, do you have common sense? Who would move away from the enemy..."
“Ouch!!!”
The next moment, a roar suddenly came from behind, and before Li Kun could react, he was knocked to the ground.
——A zombie appeared out of nowhere and lay on top of him, holding down his limbs tightly, with its fangs bared and biting his shoulder!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Li Kun screamed instantly. He was shocked and terrified, and immediately activated his supernatural power, "What... zombies?!"
A spike of earth shot out from the ground and nailed the zombie to the wall. Li Kun hurriedly retreated, holding his shoulder, but fell heavily due to unstable center of gravity, and his shoulder hit the wall. However, he didn't pay attention to it. He hurriedly lowered his head, but his heart sank suddenly.
A hideous bite wound of flesh and blood was left across the shoulder.
“I…I…” he trembled, “I was bitten by a zombie…?”
how so?
He looked up blankly, all kinds of thoughts rushing into his head.
Where did this zombie come from? It had been lurking nearby the whole time. How had he not noticed it? Why did it leave Eve, the weakest, alone and instead bite him?
But among all these disturbing doubts, only one has been infinitely magnified?
——He was bitten.
Is he...going to become a zombie?
"That's right," Eve smiled faintly, as if she could read minds. "The serum hasn't been developed yet, has it? Those bitten will only end up as zombies."
She studied Li Kun's pale face with interest, then squatted down in front of him, hugging her knees. "I heard that everyone's mutation time is different. How long do you think you can last? Five minutes?"
Li Kun stared at her with hatred.
"You...!" His eyes were red. "If it's not you... If it's not you...!"
If this woman hadn't distracted him, how could he not have noticed the approaching zombie? And how could he have been bitten!
Li Kun roared like a trapped beast. He no longer cared about many things and only wanted to drag Eve, the culprit, down to hell. He put his hands together and slapped the ground hard. Suddenly, a row of earth spikes emerged from the ground and quickly bounced towards Eve!
But Eve did not fall into the trap as he expected.
She raised her hand almost lazily and snapped her fingers. In an instant, a black shadow jumped in from outside the platform and inserted itself between the two of them. The earth spikes pierced its body but did not touch Eve behind it at all.
When Li Kun saw the man's true face, he couldn't help but let out a horrified cry: "What?... Why? Again...?!"
A zombie squatted in front of Eve, slowly turned its head, and a thorn of earth pierced through its left eye socket from the back of its head, hanging its eyeball in mid-air. It held this horrified face and gave Li Kun a stiff smile.
"Hey," Eve stood up and patted the zombie's head. "What should I do? It's disfigured. Are you going to take responsibility for it?"
"You..." Seeing the zombie bend its head obediently, showing no intention of attacking Eve, Li Kun couldn't believe it. "Why? To you...?"
"It won't attack me?" Eve smiled. "Of course it won't attack me—who would harm their master?"
"Zombies are so wonderful," she said softly, her voice like dandelions falling in the air. "Look, they're as loyal as dogs and as sturdy as soldiers. As long as I give the order, they'll sacrifice everything for me."
She placed her hand on the zombie's chin and scratched it gently.
"You..." Li Kun's face was filled with fear. "How could this happen... How did you do it..."
Eve winked at him.
"It's okay to tell you," she stretched out her finger, hooked the zombie's eye that was hanging in the air, and gently pulled it. With a "pop", the eyeball fell into her palm. "Actually... I'm a witch."
"I can control these zombies, so they won't attack me."
When Li Kun built the earth wall, Eve secretly sent a signal, asking the four zombies that she had previously controlled to gather together and hide in the shadows under the earth wall, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Under Li Kun's horrified gaze, Eve walked over slowly, bent down, and pressed her snow-white eyeballs against his trembling eyelashes.
The rotten eyeball was tightly attached to Li Kun's eyelid, and a stream of fishy pus flowed out.
That is the boundary between the living and the dead.
"This is for you," Eve said gently, "consider it as tuition for that slap."
“You…you…”
Li Kun could no longer utter a complete sentence. He was gasping for breath, his face alternating between blue and white, as if his throat was being tightly held.
Eve let go of her hand, and the eyeball slid down Li Kun's face and shattered into a pool of red and white crystal liquid on the ground.
"How rude," Eve shook her head. "You should take good care of gifts given by others. Where are your hands?"
Li Kun didn't answer her.
He made a series of strange sounds, a bit like the roar of a wild beast.
"Huh?" Eve covered her mouth in surprise. "So fast? It hasn't even been a few minutes."
She poked Li Kun's face with her hand, and the latter's head tilted down. His two eyeballs slid stiffly across his eye sockets like dead fish, a bloodshot color.
He began to mutate.
Eve sighed and stood up.
"I'll come find you later. If there's still time, I can let you fight with your teammates." She said to the changing Li Kun, even though the latter could no longer recognize human language.
Eve ignored him and unceremoniously grabbed a handful of nuclear crystals from the ground and began to absorb them.
Although Li Kun had a lot of nuclear crystals in his hand, it only took Eve a few minutes to absorb them. By the time she had used up all the nuclear crystals, the ground was already covered with dull gray crystals, all of which were nuclear crystals with exhausted energy.
Eve used some magic to heal the hole on her shoulder, and then felt it again. She felt that she was now about 20% of her prime. She turned to Seven on the other side, but he was still lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Isn't that enough?" Eve wondered, and tore off Qi's clothes. The witch's heart glowed with a light red light, as if a flame was burning.
Eve half-knelt in front of it, lost in thought.
Maybe…she had to infuse Seven with some magic as well?
In the past, Eve would never have done such a generous thing as sharing magic power, but Qi had the heart of a witch in her. She simply grabbed Qi's arm and injected almost 10% of her magic power into his body.
After doing all this, she went to see Qi again and felt that his temperature seemed to have dropped a little.
Eve thought for a moment, then said to the four zombies, "Guard him." After a moment's thought, she pointed at the largest one and said, "Forget it, just follow me."
Three zombies stood around Qi, and the other zombie that Eve pointed at squatted down obediently and let her sit on his arm.
"Everyone, keep an eye on him," Eve said to the three-headed zombie. "If anything goes wrong with the Witch's Heart, I'll twist your heads off."
The three zombies, with their intelligence, naturally didn't understand what Eve meant. She just casually threatened, patted the zombie holding her, and said simply: "Let's go to the cinema."
The zombie carefully carried Eve over the earthen wall and ran towards the entrance of the cinema.
Eve didn't see that when she climbed over the earth wall, Qi, who was lying motionless on the ground, suddenly moved.
The pale fingers placed at his side began to tremble slightly.
***
The zombie carried Eve and quietly circled to the open space in front of the cinema. When Wang Ge and the others gradually came into view, Eve grabbed it again and said, "Don't come close. Hide."
The zombie huddled at a corner like a silent shadow. Eve jumped out of its arms, squatted down, and squinted at the entrance of the cinema.
Those people were guarding the entrance, forming a circle, as if waiting for something.
After a while, Eve saw Brother Wang suddenly make a gesture to Lao Wu. The latter stretched out his hand, quickly climbed over the door of the cinema using the eaves of the door, and raised the semi-automatic rifle.
This action is the signal to start war.
It looks like something is coming, Eve touched her chin.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, a flurry of footsteps was heard from inside the cinema, followed by a dark shadow jumping out and quickly rushing out the door.
"Niggers!" she heard Wang Ge roar, "How many are there this time?"
The shadowy figure was none other than the cloaked figure in the group. For some reason, as he jumped out of the darkened cinema, his movements inexplicably slowed down. He distanced himself from the crowd and turned his head, shouting, "Eight!"
"Damn it," Brother Wang cursed, "Why? So many?"
Excluding the black man who attracted the enemy, there were only four of them, two of whom were ordinary people. It was a bit difficult for them to deal with eight zombies.
But the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Brother Wang said hurriedly to Fan Ming and Ling Ning behind him, "Be careful, don't get bitten!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two zombies rushed out of the cinema, howling, their red eyes turned, and they ran straight towards the three people!
“Bang!” “Bang!”
Two gunshots were heard on the spot. It was Lao Wu above who launched the attack. The two zombies were shot instantly. Their bodies fell down like puppets with broken strings, and there was a round hole on their foreheads.
Seeing this, Eve exclaimed, "Huh?"
Although she didn't see it clearly, it seemed that Lao Wu didn't aim at the two zombies when he fired, but the bullets hit their foreheads with incredible accuracy.
Could this be related to his special abilities?
Eve was just thinking when another zombie came over there. Suddenly, Brother Wang roared, accompanied by the sound of clothes tearing. His body suddenly grew several inches taller, and his muscles bulged, a bit like a superhero in American comics.
He stretched out his muscular hand and grabbed the zombie in front. With a little force, the zombie's head exploded in front of him like a ripe watermelon.
Eve couldn't help laughing - Brother Wang's ability reminded her of those orcs who always liked to show off their muscles.
His special ability was easy to recognize. While observing several people, she thought to herself, it should be the one that increases strength in the enhancement system?
As for Lao Wu's special ability, as Eve expected, it tends to be support or special, for example, ensuring that his attacks are always accurate.
As for the niggers...
Eve cast her gaze towards the cloaked man who was outside the battle. He was moving among the zombie corpses, quickly digging out the nuclear crystals in their brains.
She frowned. She hadn't figured out the man's special ability yet, but since he was sent to pull monsters, he must be the type who excelled at speed.
Fan Ming and Ling Ning, two people with weaker combat power, were placed slightly away from the door, each holding a baseball bat. Unlike Brother Wang, who was the main combat force, they were responsible for escaping any fish that slipped through the net.
This arrangement is easy to understand - Brother Wang hopes to use two living people to attract the attention of zombies. If they turn into zombies, they will lose their bait function.
Eve observed for a while and found that Brother Wang and Lao Wu were obviously well-trained. Their fighting moves were standard and effective without any extra behaviors. Soon, the six zombies fell down, while Fan Ming and Ling Ning had not even used baseball bats.
She blinked and shrank back.
There are too few zombies now, so it is not a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters. The ideal situation for Eve is that they can attract a large number of zombies, and the more the better, so that she can control more zombies.
But given Brother Wang's cautious nature, they should only limit the number of zombies to within ten, unless the black guy makes a mistake or something unexpected happens.
Eve thought she would have to look for another opportunity, but God seemed to have heard her wish.
The team lured the monsters several times, and more and more zombies fell nearby. The black man entered the cinema again, but after a few minutes, a suppressed scream suddenly came from the dark door.
Brother Wang immediately turned on the intercom: "Nigger? What's wrong?"
They had two simple walkie-talkies with a communication range of only a few hundred meters. A few seconds later, the black man's tense voice came from the walkie-talkie: "A level three zombie...it's appeared!"
Brother Wang was shocked: "What did you say?!"
They'd checked so many times and figured out that the third-level zombies were usually active around noon, but there was still over an hour until noon. How could it have appeared so early?!
If Eve were here, she would definitely say that she knew the answer to this question.
Zombies are extremely territorial creatures. They had killed so many of their minions before that they had already attracted the attention of the third-level zombies. Now that they had come to their doorstep today, they naturally wanted to come out and take a look.
"Brother Wang! Get out of the way!" the black man said hurriedly, "I'm bringing it out!"
It was too late to regret it now. Brother Wang gritted his teeth and said into the intercom: "...Okay!"
He then looked at Lao Wu on the eaves of the door and said, "Stay back a bit. It's too dangerous over there."
Lao Wu quickly climbed down from the eaves of the door, holding the semi-automatic rifle and retreating slowly, forcing Eve to make some space - the distance between them was too close.
Fan Ming said anxiously, "Brother Wang...what about us?"
Brother Wang turned to them, thought for a moment, and said, "Come with me."
Hearing this, Fan Ming and Ling Ning looked at each other and groaned inwardly.
It seems that Eve's previous guess was correct. She had previously let them stand in the relatively safe rear line, but now she was holding the two of them and not letting them leave - their identities as bait were almost self-evident.
But even so, they couldn't tear each other apart on the spot, as that would only make them die faster.
Fan Ming and Ling Ning exchanged looks of taking care of themselves and gripped their bats tighter.
At this time, the black man appeared at the door again?.
This time, he ran faster than ever before. As soon as he stepped out of the cinema, he ran forward without looking back. Turning back, he symbolically shouted, "I'll go call Li Kun!"
"You fucking..." His intention to escape was too obvious, and Brother Wang subconsciously wanted to curse, but before he could finish the second half of the sentence, he heard a "bang bang" sound behind him, and a zombie covered in green appeared at the door.
It's a third-level zombie.
The aura of a third-level zombie was different from that of an ordinary zombie. As soon as it appeared, Brother Wang felt an inexplicable sense of tension, and goose bumps appeared on his hands. He was forced to turn around and look at the third-level zombie with great concern: "...Damn it!"
"Brother Wang, it's okay!" Lao Wu said, "Once the black guy brings Li Kun here, we can relax a little!"
Thinking of Li Kun's earth-related abilities, Brother Wang finally calmed down and nodded, saying, "Yes, let's wait for him to come."
But the two men never expected that the black man acting as a messenger would be intercepted halfway.
***
At the corner, the black man was lying on the ground with his back, without a sound.
Eve squatted down and patted his face, but he didn't respond and had fainted.
"He's not fast." She was a little puzzled.
Just now, the black man happened to pass by in front of Eve, and she gave an order to the zombie. The zombie on her side was not fast enough, so it caught the black man easily and knocked him unconscious.
Eve instructed the zombies: "Drag them to the corner and tie them up."
This person cannot be killed now, as it will attract Brother Wang's attention. Eve does not want to expose her whereabouts too early.
The zombie obediently dragged the black man away, while she herself walked towards the cinema.
Over there, Brother Wang and others have already started fighting with the third-level zombies.
It was not as powerful as Eve had imagined. Generally, when zombies evolved to the third level, their physical fitness would get a qualitative leap, and some zombies would also evolve superpowers. But this two-meter-tall zombie in front of her had nothing special about it except that it moved more nimbly.
So even though there were other ordinary zombies around, Brother Wang and the others actually fought them to a draw - Brother Wang dealt with the third-level zombies alone, Fan Ming and Ling Ning were responsible for the ordinary zombies, and Lao Wu watched the entire battle and helped out from time to time.
Eve had a headache. She wanted to play the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole waited behind, but how could she intervene in this situation?
But she didn't move, and Brother Wang on the other side was about to carry out his plan.
He punched the third-level zombie hard, forcing it to retreat several steps. He took the opportunity to create some distance and made a gesture to Lao Wu.
The latter received it, and the next second, the gun muzzle that was originally aimed at the zombie suddenly turned 180 degrees and shot at Ling Ning!
"Bang!"
Although he had been on guard, Ling Ning did not expect that he had no intention of concealing it at all. As expected, he was hit by a bullet in the knee, and immediately lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ling Ning!" Fan Ming happened to see this and rushed over. He punched a zombie that took the opportunity to bite Ling Ning, bending its neck. "Are you okay?!"
"You guys...!" Ling Ning stumbled to his feet with his help and looked at Brother Wang angrily, "What is this? What does it mean?!"
"Sorry, Ling Ning, we have no choice," Brother Wang apologized, but his eyes showed no apology. "We have orders from above, and we must complete the mission."
"I want to blame...blame it on you guys being too weak."
After he finished speaking, Lao Wu fired another shot, this time hitting Fan Ming's calf, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Ling Ning's face flushed with anger: "You beasts...!"
"Old Five, that's enough," Wang Ge stopped him when he noticed that Old Five was about to shoot, "Save some bullets."
Besides, killing these two people will not do them any good. The only benefit is that only if the two of them keep struggling can they buy more time.
Lao Wu smiled: "Brother Wang is really thoughtful."
Ling Ning and the other man were shot, and blood spread in the air. The zombies that were originally scattered around were attracted over, and even the third-level zombie turned its eyes to them.
The plan worked. Brother Wang's eyes lit up with joy, and he said to Lao Wu, "Ignore them, attack the third-level zombies!"
They must take it away today!
At the same time, Fan Ming barely supported Ling Ning, and the two stumbled away, followed by a group of zombies, stretching out their greedy claws towards them.
“…No, there’s no way.”
Fan Ming turned into a dead end and looked at the wall in front of him in despair.
Ling Ning suddenly pulled his arm: "There are zombies!"
A zombie came out from the corner. When it saw them, its eyes flashed a dangerous red light. It roared suddenly and rushed towards them!
Fan Ming was so anxious that he shouted, "Back off quickly!"
He pushed Ling Ning away, picked up the baseball bat, and hit the zombie hard. Unfortunately, the zombie was an agile second-level zombie, which easily dodged his attack. The iron claws appeared in front of Fan Ming in an instant.
Ling Ning behind him let out another scream.
——The zombies attracted by the black man have caught up with them. One of them even grabbed Ling Ning's arm and pretended to drag her over.
Ling Ning struggled hard, but her injured leg restricted her movements. Soon, she was pulled to the ground by the zombies. Immediately, four or five zombies swarmed over her, almost burying her body.
Fan Ming's eyes widened: "Ling Ning!"
"howl--!"
But there was still that second-level zombie here. Fan Ming gritted his teeth, held up the baseball bat and prepared to fight back. The next second, the zombie passed him directly and rushed towards the zombie group!
It rushed into the zombie group like a cannonball, scattered the four zombies and started to fight with them.
Fan Ming was stunned: "What? ...?"
"What's wrong with you guys?" Suddenly, a sweet voice sounded beside my ears, "We've only been apart for a while, and you're already in such a mess?"
This voice... Fan Ming's face was filled with ecstasy, and he turned around suddenly: "Eve!"
Eve looked at his injured leg curiously: "Has Brother Wang already attacked you?"
"Yes! He shot directly at us..." Fan Ming subconsciously wanted to accuse, but when he thought of Ling Ning trapped in the zombie swarm, his face turned anxious again, "Please! Save Ling Ning quickly..."
Eve said, "What will you give me? Reward?"
Fan Ming was stunned: "What...?"
"Just kidding," Eve curled her lower lip at him, "I've already received your payment."
She turned her head and glanced at Fan Ming's calf. Blood was flowing continuously from the gunshot wound, leaving a rotten fragrance in the air.
Because of the blood, more and more zombies gradually gathered around them.
There is no need to look for zombies anymore, Eve thought, and walked straight past Fan Ming and towards the zombies fighting each other. A small knife slipped from her sleeve, she stuffed a piece of rock candy into her mouth, and then cut her arm with the knife.
Blood flowed down her arms. Eve flicked her hands, and a few drops of blood fell accurately onto the zombies' brows. As if the pause button had been pressed, their wrestling movements paused strangely, and they slowly loosened their hands, took a few steps back, and lined up in front of Eve.
Eve walked up to the startled Ling Ning and asked, "Did you get bitten?"
"No...no..." Ling Ning trembled, "Almost..."
She is a person with special abilities, so her physical fitness is slightly better than that of ordinary people. In addition, she never let go of the baseball bat and desperately attacked any zombies that wanted to approach her. Miraculously, she managed to hold on until now.
"One, two, three..." Eve counted the number of zombies she was controlling. "Five? Hmm...that's not quite enough."
It would definitely be a bit difficult for five low-level zombies to fight against third-level zombies and two combat-type psychics.
Eve kicked Fan Ming: "Make your wound bigger." She needed more zombies.
"Ah...ah?!" Fan Ming trembled, "Is it really necessary?!"
He just came back from the gates of hell and doesn't want to face zombies again!
Eve gave him a strange look: "Why are you shaking? Can't I protect you?"
Before Fan Ming could breathe a sigh of relief, he started to speak again: "Even if you turned into a zombie, you probably wouldn't be able to fight."
Fan Ming: “…”
This is really not very lethal, but extremely insulting.
"Let me do it."
Ling Ning bent down and simply tore open the wound. Eve, who was watching from the side, suddenly said, "Be careful not to lose too much blood—I don't have the ability to heal."
Ling Ning nearly fell over, looking up in shock: "Then what did you show Li Kun before..."?!
Eve shrugged. "It's just a little trick."
She can use magic to heal herself, but it doesn't work on others. If Li Kun had asked Eve to use her power on others, she would have been exposed.
"Don't be stunned," Eve patted Ling Ning, "Stand back a little, the zombies are coming."
When Ling Ning came to her senses, she found that five or six more zombies were attracted over. She and Fan Ming quickly retreated. Eve's zombies formed a fan shape and blocked them behind them.
Looking at those rotting, hideous corpses, even though he knew they were on his side, Fan Ming couldn't help but tremble. He whispered to Eve, "Aren't you... afraid of them?"
What he didn't expect was that Eve looked surprised: "Scared? How? Why?"
"I've been around zombies since I was six, and I've spent more time with them than with living people," Eve said. "The longest I've been with one zombie is like eight years."
But unfortunately, a few years ago, its head was twisted off by the enemy while it was trying to save Eve.
"Wait," Ling Ning felt something was wrong, "What are you talking about?"
Didn't the zombie outbreak just happen three years ago? Eve looks about seventeen or eighteen, so when she said she encountered zombies when she was six, that meant it was twelve years ago, right?
Eve blinked, realizing she had let the cat out of the bag, and changed the subject, "Move closer. If you get bit, I can't help you."
This sentence successfully drew the two people's attention back. Ling Ning and Fan Ming hurriedly squeezed into the alley again, while Eve let the second-level zombie pick her up, cut her arms again, and shot blood beads at the zombies rushing towards her.
When the number of her zombies grew to nearly thirty, Eve put her hands away, extended her red tongue slightly, licked the wound gently, and ordered the second-level zombie: "Go."
The second-level zombie bowed its head respectfully, took Eve out of the alley and walked towards the cinema.
Several dark shadows followed Eve in an orderly manner. She was like a queen, surrounded by silent knights.
A sweet smile appeared on the girl's delicate face.
It's time to harvest the prey.
***
"……Oh shit!"
At the entrance of the cinema, Brother Wang was fighting a group of zombies. He chopped off a zombie's jaw with all his might and shouted angrily, "Why are there still so many zombies?!"
Clearly, those two had already taken away a batch of ordinary zombies, so why were these dead people becoming more and more numerous like a group of indestructible cockroaches?!
"Brother Wang!" Lao Wu noticed something and exclaimed, "It's that third-level zombie who did it!"
The two men were tripped by ordinary zombies and couldn't get close to the third-level zombie at all. It took advantage of the opportunity and leisurely leaned aside, looking like a bystander.
But it was not idle. It would always roar twice in the intervals between their fights, and then new zombies would pour out of the cinema, causing the originally reduced number of zombies to increase again.
Lao Wu had a bold guess in his mind.
Occasionally, there are zombies with special abilities among the third-level zombies. Moreover, these are only brought back on orders from above, so they must have some special features.
Could it be... he thought slowly, this zombie's special ability is [Summoning]?
In other words? It can summon other zombies to serve it?
Lao Wu’s idea was soon verified.
After discovering that only three zombies were left in the field after being killed by Brother Wang, the third-level zombie stood up straight and let out another sharp roar.
This time the roar was louder, longer, and more intense than before. Lao Wu felt something was wrong and hurriedly said to Brother Wang, "Step back a little!"
"No!" Brother Wang shouted angrily. He was covered in blood and his face was covered in the zombies' shattered organs and brain matter. "We finally closed the distance... How can we retreat again?!"
Lao Wu said anxiously: "No! You don't understand! Over there? The zombies will..."
Before he could issue a warning, he heard a series of earth-shaking footsteps coming from the cinema. The next moment, the door was slammed open, and a stream of gray composed of dozens of zombies rushed out, instantly submerging Brother Wang who was in the front!
Lao Wu screamed: "Brother Wang!!!"
But Brother Wang was definitely hopeless—how could he, a mere B-rank enhancement user, possibly fight against dozens of zombies?!
A hint of cruelty flashed across Lao Wu's eyes. Brother Wang is a person who gets angry easily and cannot listen to other people's advice. His fate is the best warning. He must not follow in his footsteps!
Thinking of this, he retreated decisively. It seemed that he didn't even care about Li Kun and the black guy, and planned to retreat directly!
But just as Lao Wu was about to leave, a figure in his sight caught his attention.
——A zombie carried a red-haired girl and walked straight towards the zombie group.
Lao Wu stopped in surprise.
Isn't this the healing woman? He stared at Eve in surprise. How could she be caught by a zombie?
Then he saw the group of zombies behind Eve and smiled knowingly - no wonder, facing such a large number of zombies, Li Kun was probably also defeated.
This discovery made him more determined to evacuate, but he had only taken two steps when he saw Eve jump off the zombie and stand in the center of the clearing.
She and the third-level zombie each occupied one side, forming a subtle confrontation.
Although in Lao Wu's eyes, Eve was surrounded by dozens of zombies.
He didn't understand why the second-level zombie didn't eat her directly, but instead brought Eve back to the base camp. But it was obvious that he was not the only one who was confused - when the third-level zombie saw Eve, he was slightly stunned and showed a doubtful expression.
“Ouch!”
It has little flesh on its body.
