Ever since learning what Zhang Lan planned to use to kill her, Chu Nian had been thinking about how to deal with the zombie king for the past two days. Using the memories of the original owner's two lifetimes, plus the strange memories she herself had awakened, she actually came up with a method—fire needles.
Following the superpower group's instructions, she stored fire-based energy into needles of different materials. Last night, while clearing out the zombies, she tried countless times and discovered that the fire-based energy stored in moxibustion needles had the strongest control over the zombies. If targeted at specific acupoints, it could even weaken the zombies' mobility to some extent.
It's impossible to completely incapacitate or kill such a powerful opponent as the Zombie King using moxibustion needles. The only option is to weaken its mobility first and then proceed gradually.
Because Chu Nian unknowingly shot out three moxibustion needles the instant it approached, accurately hitting the zombie king's acupoints, thus obstructing the flow of supernatural power within the zombie king. As a result, Qin Hao was not directly slapped to death when facing it.
The human and the corpse actually fought for several rounds.
Chu Nian shouted, "This might be the zombie controlling the zombie horde. Captain Zhang, you guys hurry up and help. If you get rid of it, the zombie horde will likely retreat."
Zhang Lan was still in a daze, unable to believe that Qin Hao could withstand so many attacks from the zombie king. How much stronger was he than her?
But upon hearing Chu Nian's call, she quickly called Zhang Gang, and then rallied other level-six or higher ability users to join her in attacking the zombie king.
Everyone obeyed her orders and swarmed forward. However, at this critical moment, she and Zhang Gang were once again entangled by tree branches that suddenly emerged from the ground and were quickly pulled towards the cave.
"Oh my god, help!" Zhang Gang shouted, "Qin Hao, Qin Hao, please save me and my sister!"
Right now, only Qin Hao can give this demonic tree some deterrence; other ability users seem to have no effect on it even if they attack it.
Qin Hao had no choice but to turn back to save the people first. But once he retreated, how could the other level six ability users be a match for the level eight zombies!
Fortunately, the zombie king didn't care about these little bastards at all; what he valued was Chu Nian's heaven-defying physique.
Chu Nian was well aware of this as well, and was standing not far away, watching him with a smile.
The Zombie King stepped directly out of the encirclement of the superhumans and flew towards her.
Xiao Li cried out urgently, "His target is Sister Nian! Protect Sister Nian quickly..."
But no matter how anxious he was, it was no use. Everyone had the same idea as him: they wanted to save him, but they couldn't keep up with the zombie king at all!
In the short time it took them to turn around and catch up, they discovered that the Zombie King's tall figure had completely covered Chu Nian.
"Sister Nian!"
"Nian Nian!"
...
Xiao Li and the other superpowered individuals screamed in fright.
Hearing the agonizing cries, Qin Hao turned his head to look. When he turned back to look at Zhang Lan and Zhang Gang, he was surprised to find that Zhang Gang's gaze was fixed on the back of the zombie covering Chu Nian, and the corners of Zhang Gang's mouth were turned up, revealing an extremely sinister and vicious smile.
This side of Zhang Gang sent a chill down Qin Hao's spine.
"Qin Hao, save me!" At this moment, Qin Hao heard Zhang Lan's cry for help, and his attention shifted from Zhang Gang to Zhang Lan. He immediately used all his superpowers to save Zhang Lan.
For some reason, the demonic tree only attacked Zhang Lan and Zhang Gang. No matter how Qin Hao attacked it, it could only dodge and not fight back. It was the same now, so Qin Hao quickly rescued Zhang Lan from her predicament.
Seeing that Zhang Lan was free, Qin Hao turned around and went to rescue Chu Nian.
In reality, Chu Nian was not in any great danger. After all, she had already taken advantage of the zombie king's unpreparedness during its first attack and successfully injected three moxibustion needles into the zombie king's body.
Now, she has used her supernatural abilities to create a protective shield, successfully blocking the zombie king's attack, and the two sides are now locked in a stalemate.
Xiao Li and the others also rushed over. In everyone's eyes, Chu Nian was being forced to the point of paleness by the zombie king and might not be able to hold on for another second, so they all felt that Qin Hao's arrival was just in time.
However, after escaping, Zhang Lan turned around to rescue Zhang Gang and found that Qin Hao had not followed. Turning around, she realized that Qin Hao had actually done everything he could to rescue Chu Nian, and her heart sank.
In her view, Qin Hao's actions showed that Zhang Gang was not as important as Chu Nian in Qin Hao's heart. This strongly proved that Qin Hao valued Chu Nian highly, just like the other team members.
Zhang Lan just couldn't understand. She had been working so hard for the team for so long, so why was everyone siding with Chu Nian when Chu Nian had only made a few contributions in the last few days?
No one understands what she's thinking, because no one knows that in her heart, she and Chu Nian are adversaries.
They also thought that she and Chu Nian were important figures in this team, and that everyone should be a unit, not an adversary.
When Zhang Lan went back to rescue Zhang Gang, she had already made up her mind.
Qin Hao had once again engaged the Zombie King in battle. However, the Zombie King had already reached level eight, and a level seven Qin Hao was of no concern to him. The reason he came and even created such a large-scale zombie horde was for Chu Nian's heaven-defying physique.
It's no use for Qin Hao to pester it any further. Even though its movements are currently hampered by the acupuncture needles, it's still more than capable of dealing with a level seven ability user. It just can't kill Qin Hao in a short time.
It defeated Qin Hao in a few moves and then turned to attack Chu Nian.
Unexpectedly, while Qin Hao was fighting it, Chu Nian had already gathered several energy balls in her hand. When it turned to attack, she threw them in quick succession.
Boom boom boom boom...
In other people's eyes, Chu Nian shouldn't have a level seven ability group, but her own strength had already surpassed level seven, so storing up an ability group wasn't difficult for her. In the past few days, she had already stored up a bunch when no one was paying attention.
Zhang Lan, who was watching from the other side, immediately concluded that these superpowered groups were all given to Chu Nian by Qin Hao, and her hatred for him intensified. She and Zhang Gang were both injured from fighting the demonic tree, and at this moment, she couldn't help but shout, "Qin Hao, come and help!"
Seeing that Chu Nian had thrown out so many level-seven ability groups, temporarily suppressing the incredibly powerful zombie in front of him, and that there seemed to be no immediate danger, Qin Hao turned back to rescue Zhang Gang and the others.
The zombie king was stunned by Chu Nian's series of superpowered attacks. Who would have thought that this woman had so many superpowered attacks?
Xiao Li and the others continued to attack it from the sidelines. However, to it, their attacks were like mosquito bites at most. What bothered it was the energy ball that Chu Nian threw at it.
