Jiang Ruan was somewhat surprised that someone who had never experienced rebirth knew so much about such a thing.
"Hmph, it's not just Gu An who can help you, I can too. These are all secrets of our Western Continent, which you naturally wouldn't know."
Xiao Ran seemed to have thought of something, and his tone became somewhat arrogant.
Just as Jiang Ruan was about to say something, someone outside shouted, "It's over! It's over! A high-level zombie has killed someone! A high-level zombie has killed someone!!!"
The piercing screams echoed throughout Qinglonggang. When Jiang Ruan and Elder Yuan, who had put his mask back on, arrived, the ground was covered in blood and mangled limbs.
Duan Yu and Jiang Yan were protecting the people at the back, confronting the zombies.
Seeing this, Jiang Ruan immediately used a defensive spell to encircle the two people and the few people behind them, pulling them back. She then stepped to the front, drew her sword, and stared at the high-level zombie with a cold gaze.
"Waaaaaah, hahaha, die, ha!" As if it had just learned to speak, or perhaps it had just regained one of its five senses, the high-level zombie became visibly excited upon seeing Jiang Ruan.
“No, you have no more attack techniques. Your superpowers are no match for it. Let me and Duan Yu handle it. The two of us can fight it to a draw.”
Jiang Yan tried to reach out and stop Jiang Ruan, but her defenses were too strong, and he couldn't budge her even with all his strength.
"Silly girl, you're all alone, how can you beat it? Move aside, let me handle this." Xiao Ran pushed Jiang Ruan aside, pulled out a pistol from his pocket, and fired at the zombie's head.
One shot to the head, blood splattered everywhere!
"Elder Yuan, you... you can use a gun!" Li Sheng was dumbfounded, forgetting even the pain of his severed arm, staring intently at the zombie whose head had been blown off.
"It's nothing, I just found it on the roadside and it just happened to hit me." Elder Yuan waved his hand and then rubbed his lower back, looking as if he had suffered a great injury.
"Elder Yuan, are you alright?" Li Sheng rushed over to check on his "injuries."
Jiang Ruan found it strange. This Xiao Ran was clearly not right. He was deliberately getting close to her, and he even called her "silly girl".
Why does it feel so familiar? Memories she had deliberately forgotten seem to be making a comeback, but she just couldn't believe it.
But when he turned to look at the zombie whose head had been blown off, he saw it slowly get up, in better condition than before, and even more intimidating.
"Not good!" Jiang Ruan cried out in alarm and quickly pulled Xiao Ran into her arms, using teleportation to dodge the zombie's attack.
"Jiang Ruan, don't be reckless. This zombie's abilities far surpass ours. A head-on confrontation will not end well. Come here and let me out. I'll handle this!"
Xiao Ran panicked and was locked inside a circle by Jiang Ruan for protection, which made him, as the older brother, both touched and heartbroken.
Although he had the ability to break through the barrier, that might damage the defense mechanism and ultimately harm Jiang Ruan, so he would never do that.
The best outcome would have been for Jiang Ruan to release him on her own, but no matter how much he shouted, she never released him. Instead, he witnessed the bloody scene of her slaughtering zombies.
When the zombies rushed over, Jiang Ruan instinctively drew her sword to deal with them. It was the most suitable weapon she could find. The reason she didn't use a gun was partly because she didn't want many people to know that she had a gun, and then take the opportunity to find out that he had many guns, which would not be good for her.
On the other hand, firearms and ammunition are undoubtedly the best weapons for low-level zombies, but for high-level zombies, this becomes a fatal weakness.
If your artillery support is insufficient, the lack of sustained fire will stop the zombies from dying. Given their survival ability, one or two shots, or even three or five shots, are not a problem.
Therefore, Xiao Ran had just blown its head off, but he didn't finish it off with a few more shots in time, which caused it to retaliate. It was even more aggressive and difficult to deal with, making it really hard to handle.
Jiang Ruan had just absorbed Zai Zai's defensive techniques, but the offensive techniques, as a trade-off, had separated from her body. Since her own power was insufficient, she naturally couldn't fight against the zombies.
Therefore, after three rounds, Jiang Ruan was cornered by the zombies and was in imminent danger.
With a loud "boom," as Jiang Ruan lured the zombies away to a corner away from the crowd, a powerful shell exploded at the zombies' feet.
It was ferocious and terrifying, and was taken away by a cannonball.
Jiang Ruan took a breath, walked to its side, and fearing that it might wake up again without warning, she reached out and took out its crystal, putting it in her pocket.
Xiaoyu received the crystal and immediately verified it, confirming that the crystal was indeed the medium, the transit medium.
It is one of the mediums that enables the exchange of superpowers between superpowered individuals. Only by collecting stones of all seven colors can superpowers be exchanged when both parties cooperate.
Jiang Ruan has only obtained one so far, and all the ones she had before have been used up.
As the zombies fell, the defensive shield disappeared. Xiao Ran was both angry and anxious. He suddenly pounced on Jiang Ruan and hugged her, shocking everyone.
Among them were many gossips about "an old cow eating young grass".
"What are you doing? Xiao Ran, let go of me, you know? What kind of behavior is this? Outsiders will only think you're abusing your age, undignified, impolite, and sleazy. Get up now."
After being lectured by Jiang Ruan, Xiao Ran was not angry; instead, he hugged her even tighter.
Jiang Ruan had expended some energy and had not yet recovered. Her strength was insufficient, so she could not break free. She could only look to Duan Yu and Jiang Yan for help, but she did not know when the two had disappeared. Even the other people who were originally inside the defensive barrier had also disappeared.
Only Xiao Ran and Jiang Ruan remained in the vast space.
He pulled out one arm and tore off the mask. Despite Jiang Ruan's resistance, Xiao Ran hugged her again, gently stroking her stray hairs. His eyes were filled with tears, and a feeling of having lost something and then regaining it spread through his heart, making his nose tingle.
"Ruan Ruan, can I call you that? Please don't do that again next time, it's scary, it's really too dangerous!"
Jiang Ruan felt the strange fragrance getting stronger and stronger, making her a little dizzy, so she took out a silver needle from her spatial storage and stabbed it into Xiao Ran's arm.
Feeling the pain, Xiao Ran naturally loosened his grip on Jiang Ruan.
"Xiao Ran, you are so rude!" Jiang Ruan's face flushed with anger. Although she felt a warmth she had never felt before from him, and a kind of inexplicable intimacy, that was not a reason for him to "lay hands on" her.
"I'm sorry, I got angry just now. I was too anxious and abrupt."
Once he came to his senses, Xiao Ran realized what he had done. He had almost hurt his sister, almost told her the truth, and almost called her "sister."
Feeling something was amiss, Xiao Ran grabbed Jiang Ruan's wrist and bowed deeply, just as Gu An, who had rushed over, witnessed it.
"Xiao Ran, what are you doing?!"
