Chapter 308 High-level Spiritual System
Lu Xiao even took out grenades and kept throwing them around. The loud noise accompanied by smoke barely prevented the return passage from being occupied by zombies.
Ten minutes.
Half an hour.
One hour.
Gu Qingji's mutated ivy was attacked by fire zombies and a large piece of it was burnt. The remaining ones were wilted and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. He had already grown a long thorny bush covered with sharp thorns, and as he swung it, blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
The absorption of Xu Sa's supernatural powers could not keep up with the consumption. The range of the lightning began to weaken, and the intensity also decreased. It wouldn't be long before he could no longer use it.
Gu Qingyue's water arrows continued to fire, but they were burned by the zombies with fire abilities. Some of them even turned into a stream of water vapor before they could even get close to the zombies.
These zombies with special abilities seemed to have consciousness. They all hid behind the ordinary zombies. All the damage was borne by the ordinary zombies. They stood behind them and quietly shot arrows.
"How long... will it take you?" Xu Sa lost his balance and staggered to the ground. He couldn't stand up for a long time and simply half-knelt on the ground.
"Almost there," Li Zhuang replied.
The few of them managed to hold on for another half an hour. Even though Xu Sa and Gu Qingji were absorbing the crystal cores, they could no longer use their special powers.
Just at this moment, two thin needles with a metallic luster came towards the two people's heads from the zombie group. Gu Qingyue was shocked, and an ice wall appeared in front of them.
"There's a sneak attack!" Gu Qingyue shouted.
There were two crisp sounds of "ding, dang", and the thin needle was bounced away.
But suddenly an ice knife appeared in front of him, as if it was controlled by an invisible person and slashed towards him.
"Brother--" Gu Qingji shouted, and stretched out his hand to release his supernatural power in his direction, but nothing came out.
He moved over, his body just moving.
Lu Weiyi used his mental power and hit the ice blade hard, causing it to deviate from its position. However, he was a step too slow and a long cut was still made on Gu Qingyue's chest, causing blood to spurt out immediately.
"No...it's okay." Gu Qingyue endured the pain and comforted several people.
"Found it!" Lu Weiyi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
He took out a gun from the space and threw it to the three people in front of him, with a serious face, "This is an SS-level psycho zombie. You must be careful next time. Don't use the rocket launcher unless necessary as it may cause accidental injuries. Crystal core guns... we only have so many."
They didn't have many crystal core guns. Lu Weiyi gave two to Zhuang Mingxu and two to Dean. Now he only has about seven or eight in his hands.
"Don't worry," Xu Sa threw a crystal core gun and a rocket launcher to each of them and reminded, "The crystal core gun has a limited number of uses, so be careful."
"Know"
"Um"
Gu Qingyue and Gu Qingji responded and picked up the guns on the ground at the same time.
"In the southeast direction, the woman in a red dress is a psychic. Try to destroy her if you can." The people around him had no defense at this moment, and the opponent's mutant zombies were elusive. Lu Weiyi could only free up a part of his mental power to help them resist, and he could not use all his mental power to attack the opponent at this moment.
Moreover, the woman seemed to have a sense of combat. She always stood in the middle, commanding the other zombies to approach. She did not move at all. She even stepped back slightly when she felt Lu Weiyi's mental power sweeping over her.
"Uncle, I found a psycho zombie," Lu Weiyi connected with Lu Xiao, "It's on my side, SS level. Let everyone else pay attention. Zombies of this level can control human thoughts. The weaker the ability, the easier it is to be controlled. Be careful to avoid cannibalism."
"Okay, can you hold on over there?"
“It’s OK for now”
As Lu Weiyi spoke, he once again swept his mental power towards the other party. The woman stepped back vigilantly. At the same time, the mutated zombies hiding in the team began to attack them intensively, but were blocked by the mental power barrier released by Lu Weiyi.
After repeating this several times, Lu Weiyi realized something was wrong, "She is consuming my mental energy."
When two SS-level superpowers confront each other, whoever runs out of power will lose first, especially when humans' physical fitness is not as good as zombies.
Once Lu Weiyi's mental strength is exhausted by the other party, once the other party launches a general attack, none of them here will survive.
Lu Weiyi broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
"Use grenades," he ordered, and he took the lead in pulling one and throwing it at the zombies in front of him. Then a rumbling sound was heard in front of Xu Sa and the other two.
The bomb was so powerful that the piled zombie bodies in front of them were blown all over the sky, and bones and blood were splattered everywhere, but——
Corpses rained down, but the "living" zombies on the opposite side were unharmed.
"Oh my god!" Xu Sa exclaimed in surprise.
"Blocked by a Psycho Zombie"
The psychic system itself is an auxiliary ability. Lu Weiyi also spent a long time training under the method customized by Zhuang Mingxu before learning the attack, but the zombies in front of him did not seem to have this ability.
She relies on controlling other zombies to attack. If other zombies are "killed" to death, it would be tantamount to cutting off her hands and feet.
so.
She was helping the rest of the zombies resist the attack.
Just like what Lu Weiyi did to his teammates.
"It's a spiritual zombie. Keep attacking and consume her spiritual power," Lu Weiyi said, and took out another grenade and threw it out.
Explosions sounded one after another, and in the smoke, an invisible wave rushed towards Lu Weiyi.
The mental barrier woven by Lu Weiyi was shattered in an instant. A few muffled groans were heard, and Xu Sa and the other two rolled into a ball with their heads in their arms. It was only because Lu Weiyi used a small green branch to pull them that they did not roll into the group of zombies below.
"My crystal core is under attack." Li Zhuang held the crystal core in both hands, with veins exposed.
The other three also looked painful until Lu Weiyi put up his mental barrier again.
The psychics who came to support from outside have compressed the zombie team into more than 200 meters, and the dawn of victory seems to be leaning towards them.
Those who were unaware of the situation were filled with passion and fought hard, while those who knew the situation were filled with worry.
"Use the crystal core gun," Lu Weiyi said.
"Should we use it now?" The few people who were holding on were already on the verge of collapse after being tortured by their mental strength. However, the crystal core gun was their last resort. If they used it at this time...
"Use it," Lu Weiyi said with a firm look, reminding again, "speed up."
After that, he handed out a few fire crystal cores to a few people, installed one on his gun, and shot it at the zombies in front of him, harassing the zombie woman with his mental power.
Four fire dragons instantly spewed out from four directions towards the zombies in front of them. Under Lu Weiyi's harassment, this time there were no mental zombies to block them, and the fire dragons successfully ignited a large number of zombies.
After changing the gun, three fire dragons swept over again.
All the zombies around were set on fire, which eventually angered the mental zombies.
"Ah——" With a roar towards the sky, huge energy vibrated out from the female zombie. The psychic who was still fighting not far away paused, then rolled into a ball with his head in his hands. The few who were nearby exploded into a bloody dance.
The burning zombie in front of them ran and crawled towards Lu Weiyi and his group regardless of anything.
"Retreat quickly, evacuate from here." Someone began to order the supporting psychics to evacuate. In this situation, they could no longer help at all, and might even sacrifice themselves if they were not careful.
Rolling and crawling, the psychics on the outermost edge were quickly moved to a farther place.
Lu Xiao looked inside worriedly, snatched a grenade from the person next to him, pulled the trigger and threw it over, "Damn it, these dog zombies."
"You guys protect them," Lu Weiyi said, and he withdrew all his mental power and attacked in the direction of the female zombie.
The two huge mental forces collided, and the huge energy overturned a group of zombies around them.
The female zombie was also enraged at this time, and all her energy poured towards Lu Weiyi.
The confrontation took place invisibly, and the huge sense of oppression pressed the people and zombies who did not have time to leave to the ground, unable to move for a long time.
Lu Weiyi was careful not to let the people around him get implicated.
They seized every opportunity at this moment, and bullets kept firing at the zombies below. Gu Qingyue even used all his strength to absorb the crystal core and command the ice knife to pass through the zombies' heads.
"Otherwise I'll stop," Ning Yuan suddenly said.
"Wait a little longer." Lu Weiyi squeezed out these three words from between his teeth.
Lu Weiyi's mental strength had been depleted since last night, and his crystal core itself had problems. He was no match for the female zombie under the strong pressure, so it was particularly difficult for him to hold on at this time.
There was no fancy duel, just a simple reckless charge, in which Lu Weiyi continued to absorb the crystal cores. He managed to hold out for twenty minutes before gradually falling into a disadvantage.
The huge deep water was like a mountain and a tsunami coming towards him. Lu Weiyi finally experienced the feeling of suppressing others with his mental power. He suddenly knelt on the ground with one leg, making a "dong" sound.
Several people around him were also implicated.
The brothers Xu Sa and Gu Qingyue held each other and suppressed the cries of pain that were about to come out of their mouths.
At this time, Li Zhuang and the other three were unable to spare any special powers to resist the opponent's suppression. The upgraded crystal core was under external attack and the energy gradually began to become chaotic.
Lu Weiyi didn’t know what would happen if he was attacked by the mental system during the upgrade, but judging from their expressions, it was obviously not a good thing.
He used his remaining mental strength to protect the people around him, hoping to delay them until they could advance.
The mental barrier was shattered and rebuilt again and again.
Lu Weiyi felt like Monkey King fighting against Tathagata’s Palm, and he didn’t know if the other party was also having a hard time.
After a long time of unsuccessful attack, the spiritual zombie howled to the sky again. Lu Weiyi sensitively felt that she was still increasing her mental power output.
"Let's fight!" Lu Weiyi murmured, and stood up under the pressure. He concentrated all the mental strength he could mobilize.
"Ah——" As he shouted loudly, all his energy rushed towards the zombies.
Starting from the zombie closest to it, the sound of "bang bang bang" explosions continued, like a human fireworks display, with body parts and blood flying everywhere, spreading to the female zombie at an extremely fast speed, instantly submerging the zombie in a blood mist.
The surroundings seemed to be plunged into endless silence.
The people around him were breathing very softly.
The blood foam dissipated.
The female zombie still stood there.
