Scorpion sidled stiffly as he walked among the zombies. Judging from the supernatural power Shangguan Wan had just unleashed, he was no match for her. He'd thought his powers made him the strongest among the zombies, but he hadn't expected someone like her to make him fear him. That's right, a human. Something about her made him radiate fear from the very core of his being. Even when he'd become a ghost, he'd never feared anyone. Tearing zombies apart and extracting their cores was a piece of cake. Returning to his life, blending in among the survivors without anyone being able to tell him apart was a huge advantage. But now, he found himself afraid to stand before Shangguan Wan. It was his inner fear, and the faint scent of her. Even without his sense of smell, he could still smell her scent, a threatening one.
The scorpion has the smell of a rotting corpse, so the zombies naturally won't hurt him. At the same time, he also has human characteristics. Except for some stiff movements, he is no different from an ordinary person. But that was before the virus broke out.
Shangguan Wan looked at the calmed Scorpion. His face, which had been covered with black lines just now, was slowly fading. His change just now was due to those black things. Shangguan Wan was familiar with this. This was the zombie virus, but how did Scorpion manage to disappear? Han Lie seemed to have stimulated him just now, and these things appeared on his face, but he was calm now. So could he be the breakthrough point? After all, there had been no progress in the institute so far.
Han Lie secretly used military terminology to instruct the Red Eagle team members to slowly approach the scorpion and surround it, while also deploying a battle strategy.
"Wanwan, we will need you to use your wood-based ability to capture the scorpion later. Our wood-based ability may allow the scorpion to break free, so it is safest for you to do it," Han Lie whispered to Shangguan Wan, his hands still moving as he continued to kill the zombies in front of him.
A fiery red fireball came towards the two of them. Han Lie and Shangguan Wan both turned sideways, and the fireball brushed past their clothes and landed on the zombie behind them.
The flames ignited directly onto the zombies, instantly blazing in all directions. The burning heat hit Shangguan Wan's face, causing her and Han Lie to step back. Avoiding the strong, intensified smell of decaying corpses, they subconsciously held their breath to prevent the black, burning residue from the zombies from reaching their noses.
Lone Eagle and the others have been paying attention to Han Lie and the others' movements. Years of cooperation have made them form a habit of paying attention to Han Lie all the time. Naturally, they can see Han Lie's actions clearly and understand how they will fight next. Compared to the panic just now, they are now much calmer and more composed.
The Red Eagles have been surrounded by a circle of zombies, and the scorpion is at the outermost part of the zombies. According to Han Lie's instructions, they first falsely expand their inner circle, but they will slowly move the center of the entire team towards the scorpion, and then turn the scorpion into a creature in the circle.
This was Han Lie's tactic. He would first feint an attack to buy himself some time for a strong attack, and then use the tactic of encirclement and general attack to capture the scorpion.
The reason they did this was simply because their number was less than one-third of the zombies, so they had no choice but to adopt this tactic.
Even if their abilities are powerful, they understand that two fists cannot beat four hands.
Following Han Lie's instructions, those with superpowers like Gu Ying quickly switched positions with the members of their group who did not have superpowers. The members without superpowers were placed in the center, while those with superpowers faced the zombies. Moreover, each of them quickly absorbed the energy of the crystal core and instantly exerted their various superpowers to the extreme, just to break through.
Suddenly, in the center of the dark mass of zombies, a colorful light and shadow flashed. The various colored lights reflected a gorgeous beauty against the backdrop of the mountains and the sun, just like a colorful flower growing in the darkness, charming.
Then came the sounds of superpowers coming into contact with the zombies, as well as various other superpower sounds, the sound of splashing water, the roar of thunder, the sound of branches grinding against the ground, the most distinctive sound of ice cones breaking, and the powerful sound of lightning.
They were already surrounded by it. It was like a huge thunder explosion, starting from the center and spreading outwards, destroying all the zombies in the center of the circle. The sound of falling zombies came one after another. The power of the team should not be underestimated. The moment the light and shadow fell, a large area of clearance was in front of Han Lie and his group. Even Scorpion, who was standing just now, fell to the ground due to the impact. A stream of black blood flowed from the corner of his pale mouth and solidified at the corner of his mouth.
Shangguan Wan watched this gap. Before they could get close to the scorpion, the vines in Shangguan Wan's hand had already extended from her palm, like a thick python, and directly wrapped around the feet of the scorpion that was struggling to get up. There were also two vines that were wrapped around the scorpion's arms as if they were alive, and the scorpion was tied up and stood up in a spread-eagle position. His two arms were spread out and wrapped by the vines, one on the left and the other on the right, making it impossible for him to break free, and his legs were also tied tightly.
Shangguan Wan did not underestimate Scorpion's ability.
As expected, black lines instantly covered Scorpion's pale face. His entire face looked ferocious, his pale hands clenched tightly together, and the black veins on his arms bulged. Scorpion moved his hands left and right, his entire body twisting. Two of the brown vines snapped open, and as the third and fourth vines were about to break, Shangguan Wan quickly used her mind to search the space for something like a chain.
As Shangguan Wan's consciousness moved, a secret compartment on the floor of the weapons room clicked open. Shangguan Wan used her mind to guide the contents of the secret compartment to appear in her hand. It was obviously a very thin thing like nylon thread wrapped into a coil.
Han Lie also saw the scorpion's hand break free and ordered all Wood Element members to wrap their vines around the scorpion, attempting to close in. As long as they could injure its spine, the scorpion would no longer be a threat to them. However, their vines were obviously burned to ash by the scorpion's flames when they came into contact with it. The reason Shangguan Wan was able to bind him was because her abilities were far superior to his, and her vines were also endowed with spiritual springs, allowing them to touch the scorpion. Black bloodstains appeared on the scorpion's wrists and ankles. The spiritual springs were corrosive to him.
Shangguan Wan opened the nylon thread in her hand and saw that it was not a rope but a large net woven with golden threads.
When Han Lie turned around to ask Shangguan Wan, he saw that Shangguan Wan had already taken out a strange big net. Han Lie turned around, took one end and shook it open, and a net that had not been stretched out appeared in front of him.
"Come and help!" Han Lie shouted
The members still attacking around him immediately withdrew two people, and seven or eight people each grabbed one leg of the net. "Net" is just a simple word, but it also has a cold and chilling effect.
They understood immediately. Several of them grabbed the edges of the net and quickly ran through the zombie space, chopping the zombies in front of them to death. A large net was stretched out by several people, and the direction they ran was to surround the scorpion. Several people turned their eyes and covered the struggling scorpion with their heads. Several people ran in a crisscross manner, and the net was tightly wrapped around the scorpion.
The golden net tightly entangled the scorpion. Strangely, the scorpion was pinned to its spot, unable to struggle. Aside from its red and black eyes, which moved alternately, no part of its body could move.
In this way, the scorpion was trapped.
After the battle just now, there are only a few zombies left. In addition, without the scorpion, the zombies' combat power immediately dropped a lot. The Red Eagles quickly ended the five-hour battle, and they also suffered heavy casualties. Except for the man in police uniform, no one in the prison survived, and even half of the Red Eagle members were killed. The air suddenly became heavy and filled with suppressed pain.
