The Beloved Heiress's Dark Side (5)
She took out seven healing pills and fed them to the injured, and they all recovered.
These people were very grateful to Jian Tanxi and even asked if they could have a few more of the pills.
Jian Tanxi said, "We don't have many healing pills left, and we need to save them to save other people who have been bitten. It's not safe here, so you should find another place to hide."
"OK."
The group of people, supporting the elderly and carrying the young, walked out.
After they had gone far away, Meng Yuening and Jian Tanxi moved the Third Young Master into the cave, intending to hide him there first.
First, block the entrance of the cave with some stones.
Although their bodies had been strengthened, they still couldn't move very large rocks. They could only move some medium-sized rocks, and it took them about twenty minutes to block the entrance.
Just as they were about to leave, several middle-aged men suddenly ran up and snatched their bags.
Although it was just a fleeting glance, Jian Tanxi recognized these people as the ones they had just rescued.
Jian Tanxi was surprised and rushed up with Meng Yuening.
The middle-aged men, relying on their strength, tried to escape. But Jian Tanxi and Meng Yuening were both superhumans; they couldn't possibly be defeated by these ordinary men.
Meng Yuening put on her prop—finger cots—and her ten fingers immediately became like sharp blades, capable of attacking her opponent.
Jian Tanxi then took out a lightning ball and shocked them.
Within two minutes, the group of men collapsed to the ground, and Jian Tanxi and Meng Yuening snatched the bag back.
Meng Yuening held a sharp finger cot to a man's neck and asked with some dissatisfaction, "We just saved you, so why did you ambush us and steal our bags?"
The man was frightened and pleaded, "I'm sorry, we didn't mean to... but your pills are too powerful. They can cure all kinds of injuries. We wanted to grab some to keep on hand... in case we encounter zombies again and get bitten, we don't know what to do."
Meng Yuening said, "As we just said, we came here specifically to catch zombies, and we've already caught the third young master of the Ou family in such a short time. There are only nine zombies in total, and soon there will be no more zombies in the city. You don't need to be afraid at all, and you don't need to steal our things."
"But...but Ou Bao'er is still here, she can create more zombies at any time..."
"No, even if she creates more zombies, we can handle it."
"Can you guarantee we won't be harmed by other zombies? You won't be following us and protecting us forever. We just want a few more healing pills... Please don't kill me..."
Meng Yuening frowned and said, "Of course we wouldn't kill anyone, but you repay kindness with enmity. Shouldn't you at least offer a sincere apology? Don't even think about leaving today without leaving something behind."
"You... do you want fingers or toes? Let's discuss it..."
Meng Yuening laughed angrily: "What are you talking about? What would we need fingers and toes for? To make braised dishes? If you have any treasures on you, you can hand them over."
These middle-aged men racked their brains, trying to think of any treasures they might have.
A man asked, "Do you want the money?"
Jian Tanxi said, "No, money is the most useless thing to us now. Besides, our currency is different from yours."
Another man said, "Well... I have a bottle of perfume on me, it's very expensive, I bought it from a department store..."
Jian Tanxi was speechless for a moment: "No."
A man exclaimed, “I think I have a treasure… I accidentally found a pair of pearl rings in a sewer. I initially thought they were just ordinary jewelry, but then I discovered that when I’m in the water, these pearl rings create buoyancy and pull me up. I think this might be the prop you’re talking about.”
The man took out the pair of pearl rings, and Jian Tanxi and Meng Yuening each took one and examined them.
Judging from its appearance, this is a rather expensive piece of jewelry. I wonder if it's really as amazing as this man claims.
Meng Yuening said, "Tanxi, why don't you give it a try?"
Jian Tanxi: "Mm."
Jian Tanxi put the pearl ring on her hand, then walked to the pond next to her and immersed herself in the water.
The pond was very shallow, so she had to squat down to get the water over her head.
Just as she was being submerged, the ring on her hand floated up, pulling her entire hand upwards.
Then, her entire body began to rise, and finally she floated on her back on the water.
If I ever do drown, this ring will come in very handy.
Because of the ring's special function, Jian Tanxi named it the "Buoyancy Ring".
Jian Tanxi and Meng Yuening put the rings away and then released the men.
They had been doing missions for so long, but this was the first time they had been betrayed by an ordinary person, and they were all quite emotional.
But they had no time for sentimentality; they could only spend the rest of their time searching for other zombies.
Jian Tanxi tried to ask the animals, just like before. But when she finally encountered a few animals, none of them had ever seen a zombie.
With only one hour left in the countdown, they could only wander around aimlessly. They did encounter two groups of people seeking refuge and healed the wounded among them.
As a result, they and Qu Chen ran out of healing pills, and Jian Tanxi also used up all her healing abilities.
The Resurrection Pills are quite precious; they were saved for when they ran out of Resurrection Pills and healing abilities. They used about six or seven of them.
Currently, Jian Tanxi has 17 Resurrection Pills left, and Meng Yuening has 3 Resurrection Pills left.
Qu Chen had used up all his healing pills and resurrection pills; he didn't have many pills left to begin with. Jian Tanxi deliberately used up his pills so that Qu Chen could make some contributions in the dungeon.
On the other side, to the north of City A.
Professor Pan and Zhang Dayong teamed up to investigate northwards.
They were lucky; they hadn't walked far when they ran into the fourth young master of the Ou family biting a passerby.
Many passersby scattered and fled, but some, having made eye contact with the zombies, stood still and refused to move.
The fourth young master has already bitten three people and is preparing to bite a fourth.
Zhang Dayong quickly shouted, "Stop!"
The fourth young master stopped, motionless, as if he had turned into a wooden figure.
Professor Pan asked in surprise, "This is..."
Zhang Dayong said, "This is my special ability. I'll explain it later."
Seeing that the zombies had stopped moving, but some passersby were still not running, he urged them, "Run, you guys run!"
However, the passersby looked very anxious, as if they wanted to run away, but their legs wouldn't move.
Zhang Dayong had no choice but to push them, but they all fell to the ground and couldn't move.
Professor Pan noticed something amiss and said, "They should be temporarily off-limits. Let's take the zombies to a secluded spot away from these passersby."
Zhang Dayong nodded, took out a few healing pills and gave them to the bitten person, then picked up the fourth young master of the Ou family and left.
They rushed to an abandoned house. Zhang Dayong threw the fourth young master to the ground and punched him in the forehead, trying to knock him unconscious.
However, the fourth young master's head only dented in; he didn't faint. Moreover, after a short while, the dented area bounced back, looking no different from before.
At this moment, the effect that Zhang Dayong had placed on the Fourth Young Master expired, and the Fourth Young Master regained his mobility.
He stared straight at Zhang Dayong, who said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
As he spoke, Zhang Dayong wanted to punch the fourth young master again.
However, he just couldn't throw that punch.
Ever since his eyes met those of the Fourth Young Master, he has stopped moving, just like the other passersby he had seen before.
Just as the fourth young master was about to bite Zhang Dayong, Professor Pan quickly stepped forward to stop him.
He was about to hit the fourth young master when he noticed that the fourth young master was surrounded by some gray poisonous gas.
There was no poison gas when the Fourth Young Master lost his ability to move.
Professor Pan quickly changed his strategy, avoiding physical contact with the Fourth Young Master. Instead, he pulled Zhang Dayong away and forcefully pushed him to the side, behind a table.
Having lost sight of Zhang Dayong, the Fourth Young Master walked toward Professor Pan.
Professor Pan was also unaware that Zhang Dayong had suddenly stopped moving. In such a short time, all he could deduce was that it was best not to confront the zombies head-on.
Therefore, he avoided facing the zombie master directly, and naturally avoided eye contact, thus moving freely.
None of his abilities or tools were related to combat, so in desperation, he could only pick up a piece of wood and use it as a weapon to strike the zombie master.
Fortunately, the zombies were not very intelligent and their fighting skills were average, so Professor Pan managed to fight them to a draw.
However, as time passed, although Professor Pan hit the zombies several times, it had no effect on them. Meanwhile, Professor Pan's stamina was gradually decreasing.
This won't do. Professor Pan had a sudden inspiration and thought of feeding Zhang Dayong a healing pill to restore his mobility so that they could fight the zombies together.
Regardless of why Zhang Dayong is unable to move, he should recover once he takes the healing pill.
So Professor Pan fought and retreated, gradually moving towards Zhang Dayong, then squatted down and fed Zhang Dayong a healing pill.
Zhang Dayong was able to move immediately and was full of energy.
He didn't know what had just happened to him, but he shared a similar thought with Professor Pan: they couldn't confront zombies head-on.
He took a small bamboo basket out of his bag and threw it at the zombie master.
The bamboo basket kept getting bigger in the air, and in just a few seconds it became taller than a person.
Then, the bamboo basket steadily covered the fourth young master.
Once the bamboo basket hit the ground, it seemed to have taken root and remained motionless. No matter how much the Fourth Young Master struggled inside or tried to destroy the basket, it did not change at all.
Professor Pan asked Zhang Dayong, "Is this your prop?"
Zhang Dayong said, "Yes, this is called a telescopic bamboo basket. It can change size. When you need to use it, it will suddenly become very large, enough to completely cover a person, and it won't be damaged by ordinary sharp objects."
Professor Pan said, "Yes, he can't come out now, but be careful not to face him directly. I guess your sudden inability to move was related to this."
Zhang Dayong: "Yeah, I've figured it out too."
The fourth young master kept turning around in the bamboo basket, so Professor Pan and Zhang Dayong simply went to a corner and kept their distance from him.
Zhang Dayong said, "Professor Pan, judging from the appearance of this zombie, it should be the youngest generation of the Ou family. I wonder which young master it is."
