The scene was extremely chaotic.
Seeing Ge Fan rush over to attack him like a madman, Zou Wenyao planned to run away. But at this critical moment, the mutated zombie that was originally entangled with Ge Fan suddenly locked onto Zou Wenyao.
Its massive, twisted body crashed down in front of Zou Wenyao with a loud bang, blocking his only escape route.
The mutated zombie opened its mouth and spat out a stream of foul-smelling green slime.
"Sizzle—"
Wherever the slime went, it corroded the ground, leaving behind pits that emitted black smoke.
Zou Wenyao was forced to stop, his face turning deathly pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead like raindrops.
Seeing this, Ge Fan's lips curled up slightly. Taking advantage of this good opportunity, he raised his staff and drew a complex rune in the air, which shimmered with a dark blue light.
A burst of blinding light suddenly shot towards the mutated zombie and Zou Wenyao.
Damn, is this guy out of his mind? Why did he hit him?!
Zou Wenyao was hit again, instantly destroying one of his [Defense Cards]. His anger flared instantly, and he decided to retaliate immediately, no longer bothering with the mutated zombie.
He thrust both hands forward with a sudden burst of flames, lunging at Ge Fan with bared teeth and claws. The mutated zombie, sensing Ge Fan's increased danger, turned back to attack him.
Its tail, covered in sharp barbs, drew a black arc in the air, whistling through the wind, and lashed out fiercely at Ge Fan!
Ge Fan hadn't expected that the human and the zombie would attack him at the same time, so he immediately summoned a shield and dodged to the side at lightning speed.
Fortunately, they narrowly avoided the oncoming attack.
Yu Xiangnan, who was watching the drama unfold from the shadows, couldn't help but sigh.
This mutated zombie is truly neutral, treating every player equally.
When Ge Fan saw that Zou Wenyao's defense card had been destroyed, he knew that Zou Wenyao's health was low, so he planned to deal with Zou Wenyao first and then deal with the mutated zombie.
However, we need to wait for the energy level to recover first.
He lightly touched the ground and rushed towards Zou Wenyao like an arrow released from a bow. A dagger gleaming with cold light appeared in his hand without him noticing. Zou Wenyao was shocked and erected a fire shield in front of him.
The fire shield had barely formed when Ge Fan's dagger pierced through.
With a "clang," the dagger collided with the shield, sending sparks flying.
Zou Wenyao was overjoyed, thinking he could hold out, but he didn't expect Ge Fan to keep attacking his defenses wave after wave.
Not long after, with a full-force attack from Ge Fan, Zou Wenyao's flame shield shattered completely, and the dagger pierced his chest like a venomous snake.
Zou Wenyao's eyes widened, and he made a gurgling sound in his throat, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he collapsed helplessly.
Yu Xiangnan remained hidden in the shadows, silently observing everything. Seeing that the mutated zombie was about to be killed by Ge Fan, she immediately used Shadow Breath to disrupt Ge Fan's rhythm.
After several rounds, Ge Fan's energy was completely depleted, and the mutated zombies were also very effective, knocking out two of Ge Fan's [Defense Cards] in a row.
*Pfft*
Its tail, covered in sharp barbs, pierced straight through his chest.
Congratulations to the MVP mutated zombie for securing a double kill!
After confirming that Ge Fan and Zou Wenyao were both dead, Yu Xiangnan made his move, killing the mutated zombie, and then began searching through their card albums.
Zou Wenyao's card album has significantly fewer good items than Ge Fan's. The only slightly valuable item is probably the [Frost Cloak] he bought from the "Treasure Trove of Honest Shops".
On the contrary, Ge Fan's card album contained a lot of high-star items. Apart from the two [Defense Cards] that were automatically consumed before his death, there was also an unused six-star [Job Skill Upgrade Card] in his card album.
When I first saw Ge Fan a couple of days ago, he was only level 25. In just two short days, he has leveled up four times in a row. His leveling speed is as fast as a rocket.
However, killing both players and zombies yields a large amount of experience points. Many of the items in the Gofan Cardbook were most likely obtained from other players.
According to the NPC Handbook, after an NPC quest is completed, they can only take away the rewards issued by the system; they cannot take any other items, and they cannot use items belonging to players of Water Twilight Star. But Yu Xiangnan didn't care about any of that. He grabbed the rare six-star [Profession Skill Upgrade Card], stuffed it into his pocket, and then got up.
Although she can't take it with her in the end, this six-star item is incredibly useful. If she encounters any special circumstances in the future, she can use this card to negotiate with players on Water Twilight Star, or use it as bait—both are excellent options.
She glanced at the bodies of Zou Wenyao and Ge Fan.
Today, the "burial for peace" spell could still be active twice, so Yu Xiangnan quickly and efficiently dug two large pits and buried the two bodies and the card book.
However, since body bags cannot be used at the moment, moving these two bodies is somewhat tricky.
However, it was only "slightly" tricky.
Based on my current strength, I estimate that I should be able to lift a 40kg dumbbell with one hand without any problem.
After successfully burying the body, Yu Xiangnan immediately set off to continue searching for Jiang Ye's whereabouts.
The number of mutated zombies continues to rise. Compared to ordinary zombies, mutated zombies are not only much stronger, but they also possess a certain degree of self-awareness and territoriality, making them vastly more difficult to kill.
Meanwhile, the number of zombies in the suburbs is also gradually increasing.
If I'm not mistaken, a zombie horde will likely erupt soon.
The car was almost out of fuel, so Yu Xiangnan drove into a gas station and, after filling up, walked toward the car door.
But just as she was about to return to the driver's seat, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Because... she saw a small tuft of hair on the ground.
The hair was coarse and thick, yellowish-brown in color, with some white at the roots and slightly curved at the tips.
She crouched down and gently picked up a few strands of hair with her fingers.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be the fur of some kind of animal. Judging from its appearance, it doesn't resemble human fur. However, the color roughly matches the fur of the lion that always follows Jiang Ye.
Judging from this, Jiang Ye must have been here before.
I just don't know when she arrived.
