Chapter 180 The Original Female Lead Who Was Used as Cannon Fodder 30
Three simple words instantly calmed the raging black annihilation.
Lin Wuque mechanically turned his head and saw Ruan Yunzhen standing unharmed not far away, looking at him with a slight frown.
"Owner……"
He staggered and fell to his knees, the darkness in his eyes gradually receding.
The rampage had exhausted all of Lin Wuque's strength, and his body trembled slightly from exhaustion, yet he still stubbornly looked up at the figure in front of him, a satisfied smile curving his lips.
Ruan Yunzhen knelt down in front of him and carefully examined him. She found no injuries and was relieved.
She could sense that the zombie's mental abilities were not weak. She didn't act immediately because she wanted to see how Lin Wuque would fare against an opponent of the same level. However, she didn't expect that Lin Wuque would break free from the opponent's mental shackles and even kill the opponent with lightning speed.
Ruan Yunzhen was quite pleased with this, and she gently patted his head: "You should rest for a while."
The zombie horde lost the control of the zombie king, and their attacks became chaotic. The high-ranking zombies also began to act independently, with some even breaking away from the main force and fleeing into the distance.
On the other hand, the morale of Hope Base was greatly boosted by the elimination of the level 8 zombies.
For a time, even with two top combatants missing, they managed to hold off the zombie attack, giving Lin Wuque ample time to rest.
"Owner……"
A rare look of vulnerability appeared on Lin Wuque's face, and lingering fear remained in his eyes.
He nuzzled his head against her palm, his cool nose brushing against her slender wrist, his expression a mixture of affection and unease.
Ruan Yunzhen patted him again: "Get some rest."
"I want my owner to hold me."
Lin Wuque buried his head in Ruan Yunzhen's arms.
He now desperately wants to be close to his master, to be enveloped by her presence.
Considering his strength and usefulness, Ruan Yunzhen decided to be more tolerant of him and allowed him to do so.
A pure and ardent smile immediately bloomed on Lin Wuque's face.
His face was pressed tightly against Ruan Yunzhen's abdomen, his hands were also tightly wrapped around her waist, he sighed contentedly, and closed his eyes peacefully, but his ears were still alert, paying attention to the movements around him at all times.
He even released a wisp of black smoke.
A faint black smoke drifted around, serving as a warning to everyone.
Not far away, Zhao Chenxiao stared blankly at Ruan Yunzhen. Seeing that she didn't turn around even once, his heart was instantly filled with disappointment. Then he gave a bitter smile.
Indeed, why did she turn back? They had only met twice more than strangers; they weren't even acquaintances.
It was all just his infatuation.
He slowly closed his eyes. His body, which had been struggling to stay afloat with sheer willpower, could no longer bear the immense burden and collapsed forward like a giant mountain.
Just as he was about to hit the ground, a dazzling beam of azure light suddenly shot into the sky, and the violent energy formed a huge energy vortex, engulfing all the rubble and debris around him.
Lin Wuque, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly turned over and stood up, grabbing Ruan Yunzhen around the waist and quickly creating distance between them.
He only put Ruan Yunzhen down when they were several hundred meters apart, looking at Zhao Chenxiao warily, his hands still tightly wrapped around Ruan Yunzhen's waist.
The sandstorm was too bothersome, so Ruan Yunzhen squinted and looked at the man in the storm.
"He...advanced?"
At the eye of this raging energy storm, Zhao Chenxiao's figure was enveloped by layers of jade-green light.
The more violent the storm on the outside, the gentler the wind on the inside.
Lin Wuque reluctantly replied, "Yes."
His eyes flashed with hostility, and his hands involuntarily tightened.
Because he was a level eight, his master doted on him. Now that there is another level eight, will the master's favor be diminished?
No, that's absolutely not going to happen!
The hostility in Lin Wuque's eyes deepened, and a murderous intent permeated the air.
He rubbed his foot against the ground, itching to move.
Ruan Yunzhen noticed his restlessness and warned, "Don't do anything reckless, behave yourself."
She was happy to see Zhao Chenxiao advance.
Whether it was because of his status as the base commander or the subtle, pervasive power of love and desire emanating from him.
With his successful advancement, she gained another ally.
Whether hunting zombies or dealing with Zhou Shih-han, they are excellent helpers.
Lin Wuque's initial killing intent towards Zhao Chenxiao was merely a precautionary measure, but now that Ruan Yunzhen had spoken, he genuinely developed a desire to kill.
He sensed that his master cared about him.
A sinister glint flashed in Lin Wuque's eyes. His original wariness of Zhao Chenxiao was merely a precaution, but now, under Ruan Yunzhen's protection, it had transformed into a real killing intent.
This gaze, which should have been his alone, was now being given to someone else.
However, he dared not disobey Ruan Yunzhen's orders, so he had no choice but to suppress his killing intent for the time being and watch Zhao Chenxiao successfully advance.
Just then, cheers rose and fell in the distance.
The remaining defenders naturally noticed the unusual phenomenon of their base commander's breakthrough, and their morale soared even higher. They were no longer afraid, but rather filled with excitement.
Although Lin Wuque is also an eighth-level ability user, he is ultimately from another family. The base chief is one of their own. Now that he has advanced to the eighth level, their base finally has more confidence.
Just like the other two bases with level eight ability users, there is a glimmer of hope for their long-term survival, and they don't have to worry about when they will be destroyed.
Amidst the raging energy turbulence, Zhao Chenxiao slowly opened his eyes. His resolute gaze gleamed with a jade-like light, and tiny whirlwinds swirled deep within his pupils.
Zhao Chenxiao subconsciously raised his hand, sensing the powerful force within his body.
Has he... broken through to level eight?
Zhao Chenxiao subconsciously looked at Ruan Yunzhen and saw that she was also looking at him.
Noticing his gaze, she nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Zhao Chenxiao's heart skipped a beat, and he panicked for no reason.
He met Ruan Yunzhen's gaze with a flicker of steel, when suddenly a chill ran through him, and a bone-chilling killing intent surged forth.
His gaze shifted, meeting Lin Wuque's unfathomable black eyes.
Those eyes were like poisoned blades, carrying a chilling murderous intent.
Zhao Chenxiao then vaguely recalled their relationship. He lowered his eyes to hide the surging emotions in them, then suddenly turned around and began to slaughter the zombies below the city, venting all the complex emotions in his heart.
Currently, he is one of only two level-eight ability users present. Among the zombies, there are only a few level-seven zombies left, who are no match for Zhao Chenxiao.
Before long, except for those that escaped, all the high-level zombies were wiped out by Zhao Chenxiao, and most of the low-level zombies were also cleared out by firearms.
With a few powerful wind blades, the remaining enemies were all cut down like wheat.
