Lu Yan shrugged. "I'm just a nobody. I don't know what God wants to do. This matter still depends on the store manager."
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me." An Ge rolled her eyes.
Lu Yan's discovery did provide An Ge with some ideas, but all of this still needs to be verified. With Zhang Zhengyi watching over the Zuoyou Inn, she could find the leader zombie nearby.
She hadn't forgotten that when this group of zombies attacked Wen Zihao, there was someone in charge behind the scenes.
When An Ge expressed her desire to find the high-level zombie nearby, Meng Xia immediately raised her hand, "I'll go too. I discovered that my ability happens to have a restraining effect on the zombie virus, so I won't be a hindrance."
Meng Qiu also said, "I'll go and put the wood-based magic that Sister An taught me during this time into practice."
Wood-type abilities are usually used as a backup for healing and have little offensive power. However, An Ge proved that as long as the techniques are correct, wood-type abilities can also have great destructive power.
"Me too." Wen Zihao quickly followed. Lately, he had been researching his superpower whenever he had free time, and following An Ge's advice, he had actually developed it.
An Ge initially intended to go alone, but seeing everyone's expressions, she ultimately decided to bring her family. With her there, everyone's safety wouldn't be a concern, and it would also save her the trouble of doing it herself; she could treat it as practice for everyone.
Thus, a scene unfolded in the perilous city center: a small team of less than five people, upon encountering zombies, treated them like starving ghosts seeing delicious food, and in no time at all, they cleared out a small area of zombies.
Meng Qiu and Wen Zihao worked together effectively and quickly eliminated a level 5 zombie.
"Brother Zihao, your superpower is amazing! I'm only level three now, but with you, I was able to directly eliminate a level five zombie." Meng Qiu's tone was filled with excitement, as this was the first time he had fought alongside Wen Zihao.
Wen Zihao chuckled憨厚ly, "No way, you're amazing. I never thought wood-type abilities could be used like this."
He watched as seeds took root and sprouted on the zombies, growing into a large tree in the blink of an eye. Under the influence of life, the zombies gradually became nutrients for the plant.
The biggest takeaway from Meng Qiu's battles for Wen Zihao was the importance of environmental protection. Wherever he fought, a plant, large or small, would remain. Wen Zihao even suspected that given time, the entire area might become lush and green.
Meng Qiu was a little embarrassed by the praise, "It's all thanks to the store manager's excellent teaching."
There are many ways to use wood-based techniques. Sister An said that we should make good use of every bit of supernatural power, so she has been having him practice planting trees for a while now.
The two worked together more and more seamlessly. Once they were scratched by zombies, as long as it wasn't serious, Meng Xia would start using her purification ability to remove the virus, while Meng Qiu would use her wood-based ability to heal the wound. An Ge was left out of the picture.
However, for the three of them, An Ge was their biggest support.
After all, Meng Xia's strength was not enough to purify a person who had been severely bitten by a zombie.
The group searched for most of the day, but apart from the fifth-level zombie, they didn't find any high-level zombies. In fact, by the end, even the low-level zombies were avoiding them.
"This won't do. It must be that zombie behind us directing the lower-level zombies to hide." Meng Xia was panting heavily. The central city was too big, and they couldn't possibly explore every place. If the zombies really wanted to hide, there was really no way to deal with them.
An Ge thought for a moment, "We're in a very passive position right now. I have a way to try and draw them out."
"What method?"
An Ge looked at Wen Zihao and a kind smile appeared on her lips.
Wen Zihao looked miserable. "Manager, you must protect me." He never imagined that one day he would become bait to lure zombies.
Meng Xia looked at Wen Zihao with a tragic look in her eyes, like the line "The wind howls and the Yi River is cold." "Go, warrior. Your heroic figure will live forever in our hearts. Don't worry, it's just being bitten. As long as you don't die instantly, the shopkeeper will save you."
Meng Xia's words made Wen Zihao want to cry even more.
"Don't scare him. Cough, Zihao, don't worry, I'll protect your safety."
Having received An Ge's assurance, Wen Zihao had no more worries. He slashed his arm hard, causing blood to flow freely, and then ran forward as fast as he could.
An Ge clearly felt that there was a noticeable commotion in the air the moment Wen Zihao bled; she could even smell the sweet scent of blood.
"I'm running!" Wen Zihao waved his arms as he circled around, trying to make the blood flow faster. Behind him, a group of zombies gradually followed.
Seeing the zombies' frenzied state, the group silently swallowed. An Ge thought that if vampires were present, the scene would probably be even more insane.
At first, there were only low-level zombies, but soon high-level zombies joined the group. Wen Zihao was careless and was bitten by a zombie.
"Ah, I've been bitten!" Wen Zihao yelled. Just as another bite was about to come, a tree branch pulled him out of the pile of zombies.
An Ge channeled her spiritual power, and in a short while, four plant walls appeared, surrounding the zombies. "Meng Xia, save people."
"Received." Meng Xia quickly ran to Wen Zihao and used her purification ability to continuously purify the evil energy.
Meng Qiu looked at the plant wall that appeared in the blink of an eye, her eyes overflowing with admiration.
He thought he was already quite proficient in using wood-type abilities, but after seeing An Ge, he realized that his skill level was child's play compared to hers.
It's not just the speed of plant growth, but also the vitality emanating from them. The plants grown by Sister An have an extremely strong inhibitory effect on zombies.
The trapped zombies roared incessantly, trying to break free of the encirclement, but as soon as they approached the plants, they seemed to encounter something terrifying, writhing in agony. In the end, all the zombies distanced themselves from the plant wall, huddling together in a ball, looking weak and helpless but not pitiful.
Meng Qiu snapped out of her daze and looked at An Ge with admiration. "Sister An, aren't we going to eliminate them?"
An Ge shook her head. "No, these zombies have lost their ability to attack under the influence of life force, so let's just treat them as crystal core resources. Your wood-type ability is about to upgrade, so see if you have any suitable crystal cores?"
Meng Qiu was thrilled to see the huddled-together zombies; these weren't zombies, but glowing crystal cores!
He carefully entered the plant wall, choosing a spot that allowed him to reach the zombies while ensuring his own safety. He then eliminated the zombies one by one, a task so simple it felt like bullying the weak.
Once a useful crystal nucleus was discovered, Meng Qiu would happily hold it up and share the good news with An Ge.
An Ge was speechless for a moment as she looked at the scene.
This should have been a serious occasion, so why did it turn out so strange?
