It turns out that in the eyes of the Lightbringer, Song Xi was such a despicable existence.
She could no longer bear it; her consciousness became blurred, and in addition to the excruciating pain, her whole body seemed to be burning hot. Slowly, she became stiff.
Shen Wangshu took a step back and hid behind Ah Xuan, watching her warily.
This woman, who once commanded great influence after her rebirth and had many men vying for her affections, ultimately failed in her endeavors and died here without even seeing one of her lovers from her past life.
Shen Wangshu watched as Song Xi slowly got up from the ground. Her eyes had turned into those of a zombie, black blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, and her body was mangled beyond recognition. Yet, she seemed completely oblivious, swaying and howling. It seemed that due to Ah Xuan's oppressive aura, this zombie dared not approach, but stood there seemingly bewildered, listless and powerless.
Nan Lan, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, opened the â–ˇ and pointed it at Song Xi, the zombie.
She flickered flames between her fingers and glanced sideways in Ah Xuan's direction.
The tall, black-haired man nodded slightly, then suddenly shoved Shen Wangshu out!
In the blink of an eye, a roar rang out behind Shen Wangshu.
She turned her head in shock and saw a long, thin, dark figure locked in combat with Ah Xuan. Ah Xuan had blocked the shadow, revealing a withered, dark face, its bloodshot eyes filled with savagery and cunning. It had a pair of thin, dark hands that were slowly groping Ah Xuan's shoulders. As if unable to believe its attack had been discovered, it let out a threatening and angry roar upon seeing Ah Xuan's sunglasses shatter on the ground.
This is a zombie, a chilling zombie.
Shen Wangshu broke out in a cold sweat when she thought about how she had almost had her heart ripped out by the zombie's claw.
Without saying a word, Nan Lan raised her hand and fired a shot at the zombie.
A bullet, wreathed in flames, hurtled toward the zombie's head. The zombie tilted its head and suddenly caught the high-speed bullet, letting out a shriek.
The bullet's scorching fire-based power erupted, blasting a piece off the zombie's hand and sending it blazing towards the zombie's face.
The zombie was extremely frightened and enraged, but it looked at Nan Lan's direction with even more covetousness.
Just as superhumans hunt high-level zombies to advance their own power, high-level zombies also possess a unique and intense appetite for the flesh and blood of advanced superhumans. They are even willing to rationally spare ordinary people for the sake of that incredibly delicious aroma, silently hiding to strike with deadly precision. This rationality is progress for zombies, but not for humans. They don't like the scent of Ah Xuan that's similar to their own; they crave Nan Lan's flesh and blood far more.
He leaped over Ah Xuan and pounced on Nan Lan.
"Boss!" When Ah Guang saw that Nan Lan had nowhere to retreat, panic appeared on his handsome face. He quickly threw himself into Nan Lan's arms and turned his back to the zombie.
He might be able to use his light-based abilities, but when Nan Lan was in danger, he worried that his abilities wouldn't be able to stop the zombies.
This was a zombie that was evenly matched with Ah Xuan's strength. He wasn't confident he could purify and decompose it. If the zombie wasn't purified, Nan Lan would still be in danger. He frantically shielded Nan Lan in front of him, but then felt a huge water ball rushing towards him, smashing him and Nan Lan away.
The sudden water sphere repelled all the zombie's targets. Missing its attack, the zombie turned and glared fiercely at Shen Wangshu. This was also a delicious meal, but not as sweet as those two. The zombie tilted its head, thought for a moment, and then slowly turned towards Shen Wangshu.
Shen Wangshu narrowed his eyes.
On the other side, the zombie that Song Xi had transformed into roared and pounced on her.
It seems that her resentment towards Shen Wangshu was too intense; even in death, she still remembered to kill Shen Wangshu.
At the same time, the high-level zombies pounced on Shen Wangshu. In a flash, Shen Wangshu was swept up by a pair of strong arms and rolled aside. The zombies' momentum couldn't be stopped, and Shen Wangshu saw a flash of blood as Song Xi's head was crushed by a high-level zombie.
The zombie, which had been gloating, roared when it realized it had grabbed the wrong prey. It angrily tossed Song Xi's headless body aside, then turned and glared at Shen Wangshu with a ferocious expression. Shen Wangshu felt herself being set down.
Ah Xuan roared and tore off his clothes, revealing his pale, scarred upper body.
He lunged at the zombie and in the blink of an eye, he and the zombie were rolling together.
They both tear each other's bodies apart with their claws, both bite each other, both have their flesh torn to shreds by claws, yet they are still able to fight.
That zombie was the most powerful Shen Wangshu had ever seen since the apocalypse, and it was even even evenly matched with Ah Xuan. Shen Wangshu watched as the two zombies roared and rolled among the shattered rubble, and saw how a single swipe of their claws could smash through a section of wall or house.
She took two quick steps forward, but Ah Xuan turned and roared at her fiercely, forbidding her from taking the risk. He was worried that she would get hurt in such a dangerous situation, and even more worried that she would be injured and infected by the zombie. He consciously grabbed the zombie and struggled towards a more distant location.
Under the immense oppressive force of the high-level zombies, amidst their enormous roars, countless low-level zombies fled from various streets, gathering together and trembling in fear.
Shen Wangshu looked at the endless horde of zombies, her hands and feet turning ice-cold.
She remained motionless.
This is Ah Xuan's most dangerous moment, and she cannot use the excuse of caring for Ah Xuan to hold him back.
He couldn't afford to be distracted by protecting her at this moment, or he might get torn to pieces by that high-level zombie.
