Xiao Jin did not answer immediately, but narrowed her eyes slightly.
A moment later, she softly uttered two words: "Look up." Though her voice was soft, it resonated in Cen Nian's ears.
Upon hearing this, Cen Nian subconsciously looked in the direction of Xiao Jin's gaze.
When he saw it clearly, his heart clenched.
A mutated zombie was crouching on a telephone pole not far away.
The zombie was unusually large, with long arms and strong legs, and its height was nearly two meters.
His ribs were clearly visible, like tattered strips of cloth casually hanging on a skeleton, and a pair of blood-red eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.
A large chunk of flesh was missing from its leg, and the wound was covered with crisscrossing teeth marks. Under the intense heat, it began to fester, attracting countless flies and maggots that rolled and wriggled on it, emitting a nauseating stench.
Before Xiao Jin and Cen Nian could make a move, the zombie could no longer restrain itself, leaped up, and crashed heavily to the ground.
With a roar, it moved at such a speed that it left only a blurry afterimage, leaving people speechless.
With lightning speed, Xiao Jin flicked his wrist, and a gleaming longsword instantly appeared in his palm.
She said in a deep voice, "Speed ability... Level 4..."
After speaking, his gaze became even more piercing.
Upon hearing this, Cen Nian felt a chill run down her spine.
The previous level-four mutated spider almost swallowed him whole, and he was no match for the zombie in front of him. It seemed he would have to rely on Brother Xiao Jin!
Perhaps because Cen Nian appeared relatively harmless, the zombie with the speed ability abandoned Xiao Jin and rushed straight towards Cen Nian like an arrow.
Cen Nian felt a flash of light before his eyes, followed by a crisp "clang" sound that pierced the air, and a pair of large, dark hands suddenly appeared in his sight.
Those sharp fingernails, contaminated with the zombie virus, were less than ten centimeters away from his face.
Fortunately, Xiao Jin was always present; how could she allow this mutated zombie to succeed?
At this critical moment, Xiao Jin acted swiftly, raising his knife to firmly block the zombie's attacking arm.
Cen Nian was startled and quickly used the force to leap backward, skillfully avoiding the zombies while also creating a fighting space for Xiao Jin.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin swung his knife and knocked the zombie away. The zombie was not slow, but Xiao Jin was even faster.
She aimed her knife at the zombie's neck and slashed repeatedly, the fierce fight eventually attracting the attention of the people inside the house.
