Chapter 197 Killing the Slug
The big slug is indeed a high-level speed-type zombie. After being attacked, it dodged very quickly, causing some Hunter No. 3 to miss their target and not dig out all the crystal cores in its body. At least the speed crystal cores that facilitate escape are still there.
But Yun Shuhuai has already dug out its fifth-level lightning crystal core, as well as its fourth-level water and ice crystal cores. Now there is only one fourth-level speed crystal core and two ordinary crystal cores left in its body, which almost destroyed it.
Yun Shuhuai was the first to attack the supernatural crystal core on its body. Without the supernatural crystal core, it is just a bigger slug.
But it was still a speed-type zombie after all, and it dodged too fast, so it was not dug out completely. However, the main attackers were gone, and only one speed-type crystal core was left, which was not to be feared at all.
After being attacked by Yun Shuhuai, the zombie immediately reacted, and it swung its tentacles and began to attack Yun Shuhuai.
Yun Shuhuai stretched out the arm blade on his hand, covered with ice energy, and chopped off the tentacle with one knife, and then the broken part froze, and the ice spread rapidly along the zombie's tentacles to its body.
The zombie seemed to feel the threat from the tentacles, and it turned around and ran after breaking the tentacles.
Yun Shuhuai would never let it run away like this, and immediately caught up.
The zombies crawled quickly on the walls of the tunnel, leaving a trail of disgusting slime, making it almost impossible for Yun Shuhuai to find a foothold.
This water diversion tunnel is inclined upward. The principle of its design is to use the large drop of water flow to impact the turbine to obtain enough power to drive the generator to generate electricity, which made Yun Shuhuai a little strenuous to run.
In order to catch up with the zombies, she could only step on Hunter No. 3 and chase them desperately.
Yun Shuhuai turned on the intercom while chasing, saying, "Aqing, the zombie is probably going to go up. It is currently in the water diversion tunnel at the northernmost part of the dam. As soon as it comes out, you should attack it. It has been seriously injured by me and now only has speed-type abilities. Pay attention to restrain it and don't let it escape."
"Understood, I'm ready."
Yun Shuhuai hung up the call. Now she was about to reach the cave entrance, and the zombie should have already gone out.
After running for a while, she finally came out of the tunnel. What caught her eyes were the damaged trash racks at the entrance of the cave, hanging crookedly on the dam body, or frozen in the ice.
It seemed that the zombies had used ice to open a passage outside the tunnel. Yun Shuhuai could sense that given the height of the tunnel, water should be able to come in, which meant that the zombies were deliberately blocking the flow of water.
If all the ice near the tunnel was removed, the water would probably flow.
Once the water started to flow, it would be difficult to freeze it again, at least it would not be frozen so solid. The thickness of ice was also limited. When the hydropower station started to operate and generate heat, the river would not freeze easily.
Yun Shuhuai heard the sound of fighting outside as soon as she arrived at the entrance of the tunnel. She did not rush out, but sealed the water diversion tunnel with ice to prevent the zombie from running in again.
The other tunnels were basically frozen, and the big slug could not get in because it had no ice ability.
"Boom!" A loud noise came from the ice not far away. Yun Shuhuai looked up and saw that Xi Qing was swinging a knife at the zombie.
The zombie had been forced away from the dam and ran onto the ice.
As a mollusk, although it had speed abilities, it could not move on the cold ice. The mucus it used to lubricate itself when crawling in the tunnel made it easier to freeze on the ice. Every time it stood up, it had to use force to pull its body off the ice. Sometimes it stuck too tightly and even pulled its skin off.
The slug's body had been chopped several times by Xi Qing's wind blades, its skin was broken, and the fused zombies inside the body mixed with mucus flowed out.
"Hey, I don't believe it, why can't it be killed?"
Xi Qing looked a little irritable. It was so cold outside. Although she had blocked the cold wind around her, there was a fire soldier and an ice soldier following behind her, but these two soldiers were only level three. They had fought too hard before and were a little exhausted. They had to follow behind her to provide her with heat.
They didn't dare to step on the ice. The ice was pitted by Xi Qing's wind blades, and water came out in some places, which meant that the ice layer was not solid.
Besides, if a fire-type esper stood on it,
the ice would melt. It was too dangerous. Xi Qing did not dare to take them up with her. She could only swing the wind blades. She did not dare to use the tornado either. The destructive force was too great. The water flow under the ice would cause all the broken ice to hit the dam, which might cause damage to the dam. The broken ice would also enter the water diversion tunnel, damaging the turbine or even blocking the tunnel. In this way, their previous efforts would be in vain.
This is what the two engineers said, so the tunnel must be opened and the trash rack must be repaired before opening the ice.
The body of the big slug was too soft and fast. It could easily dodge Xi Qing's attack. If she could not kill it again, it would escape.
"Ah Qing, there's no need to hide, show your true strength." Yun Shuhuai's voice came from Xi Qing's earphone. This was Yun Shuhuai's voice on their private channel, and no one else here could hear it.
"But, it will break the ice layer. The engineer said that the broken ice cannot be washed into the tunnel."
"Don't worry, I'll deal with the broken ice."
"Okay."
Yun Shuhuai had already flipped out of the tunnel and onto the dam. Xi Qing and the other two stood roughly in the center of the dam.
Xi Qing put away her knife and opened her arms in front of her.
Yun Shuhuai said, "Go ahead."
As soon as the words fell, a tornado rose from the ice and directly swept the zombie into the wind, tearing it into pieces. Then the tornado disappeared, leaving a corpse on the ground.
Everything ended so quickly, leaving the two soldiers dumbfounded.
When they encountered this zombie before, it easily dragged away a superpower and ate it. After sending away the other people, the two of them stayed to help voluntarily, and were ready to sacrifice themselves, but they didn't expect that it would end so hastily. Although the tornado was spectacular, why did they feel a sense of loss?
"Crack!"
The sound of breaking ice rang out, and gradually, the ice in the center of the tornado just now broke, and dense spider-web-like cracks spread around.
"Ice! The ice is breaking!" a soldier shouted.
But just as he finished speaking, Yun Shuhuai stepped on the ice, and the extremely cold energy spread along the cracks in the ice layer, and then froze it again, gluing the ice together again like an adhesive.
The phenomenon of the ice layer breaking up suddenly stopped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Shuhuai walked straight to the center of the cracked ice layer on the spider web-like broken ice, then leaned over to pick up the three crystal cores and an identity badge on the ground. Now the badges were all there.
Those human zombies did not run around, they were either in the corridor or in the factory building, and they just happened to meet them all along the way.
Looking at Yun Shuhuai walking on the ice, although they knew that the ice layer had been frozen, the two soldiers still felt distressed. If the ice was broken to such an extent under normal circumstances, it would have been dispersed long ago, and the people standing on it would definitely fall into the water.
In this case, the most dangerous thing about falling into the water is not the low temperature and being drowned, but the ice blocks will collide with each other under the shaking of the water. Being hit by such a thick layer of ice will probably knock people out.
Yun Shuhuai was standing on that ice layer. For the first time, the two soldiers deeply felt the gap between them as superpowers, not only in strength, but also in mentality and courage
