I found a watermelon knife at the gas station and then found a good spot to sit down.
Following the scroll's instructions, Liu Nian began chanting incantations, then cut her finger with a watermelon knife to let the blood drip onto the scroll, and finally placed her twisted resentment onto the scroll.
Just as the items were being arranged step by step, a sudden change occurred. The scroll absorbed Liu Nian's blood and then burst into flames, instantly enveloping the twisted resentment within it.
Smoke rose into the air, and a chaotic magic circle made of smoke opened in the void. Then, a transparent figure floated out from the magic circle.
This ghost had the appearance of an adult woman, with long hair, a veil on her face, and a long robe that covered her feet, making her almost transparent.
As if sensing Liu Nian's gaze on her, she suddenly removed her head, held it in her hand, and turned to face Liu Nian.
Liu Nian was so frightened that his face turned pale instantly, but being a seasoned veteran, he managed to suppress the sound that was about to escape his throat and didn't make a sound.
Seeing this, the ghost, carrying the head, floated towards Liu Nian regardless of the counter's obstruction, its face filled with terror.
Faced with the approaching ghost, Liu Nian felt a chill run down his spine, his mind went blank for a moment, and he felt as if his sanity had been wiped out. Finally, he couldn't help but scream out.
"Ah~" A terrified tenor voice came through the gas station window.
Flying units, no physical collision volume, and unafraid of the sun—this is Liu Nian's understanding of Yin spirits.
He likes to play pranks; this is another way he perceives her.
To test the Yin Spirit's combat capabilities, Liu Nian ordered her to attack the infected at the intersection ahead.
Sensing Liu Nian's intentions, the ghost drifted toward the nearby infected.
Upon reaching the infected person, the spirit easily slid its arm into the infected person's head, then pulled it upwards, extracting the infected person's brain.
Liu Nian noticed that the Yin spirit's attack did not damage the infected person's head; instead, the arm pierced directly through the skull and disappeared into the infected person's head.
True damage is a strong feature; it will make dealing with heavily armored units much easier in the future.
When dealing with another infected, the infected's body passed directly through the spirit's body, and the spirit seemed unharmed. The spirit then did the same, reaching out and smashing the infected's brain through its skull.
Based on this attack alone, Liu Nian did not know whether the Yin Spirit had a chance to be immune to physical attacks or whether it could nullify physical attacks.
"Each characteristic is very strong," Liu Nian quickly analyzed.
If we consider the games Liu Nian has played, the Wraith is considered a mid-tier undead unit, so its powerful special effects are understandable.
However, undead units also have a weakness: they take double damage from attacks by the Holy Spirit.
The opposition between light and darkness is an unavoidable topic!
I just don't know if this game will follow this tradition.
They continued on their way without saying a word, clearing out the infected while moving forward, and soon the source of the traffic paralysis was found.
At the end of the Northern Expedition, vehicles were crammed together at the tollbooths at the entrance and exit.
It looks like a car accident caused by people fleeing. After several cars blocked the exit completely, some people still tried to speed up and crash into the cars in front, making the passage completely blocked by cars.
Many infected people in the car were still driving, trapped in their seats by their seatbelts.
After dealing with the infected people at the import and export points, Liu Nian tried to start the Hummer at the front, whose passenger side was dented from the collision.
The main reason for choosing it is its high power; hopefully, it can break through a bloody path.
The Hummer's owner had just died at the hands of a summoned creature, and the car keys were still inside. Liu Nian brazenly took over the vehicle.
It took a while to start the engine. I glanced at the fuel tank and saw that it was still more than half full.
Liu Nian then drove his car through the car in front of him and left the tollbooth, traveling a distance further.
Occasionally, vehicles broke down and stopped in the middle of the road, but none of them seriously affected traffic.
With the journey ahead going smoothly, Liu Nian was in a good mood and even had the time to play with Xiao Hei on the way back.
Liu Nian drove the car into the woods by the toll station, put the supplies he had looted from the gas station into the trunk, and broke off some branches to cover the car.
This is to have a backup plan, just in case.
Liu Nian carefully placed the car keys close to his body, and with no trace of the Hummer visible from the road, he turned and left.
While Liu Nian was riding high, the atmosphere in the other part of the neighborhood was tense.
Zhao Tianba, along with his mercenaries and the group of Blackface from the East District, were talking to three leaders in the residential area.
Both sides, each with a group of people, were standing at the entrance of the residential area. Two young men guarding the gate were lying on the ground covered in blood, clearly having been beaten.
Looking at the injured young guard at the entrance, Liu Xiong's eyes seemed to blaze with fury as he angrily said, "What right do you have to hit people? Everyone has to be checked before entering; that's our rule here."
"Rules? Are you trying to teach me how to do things?" Zhao Tianba looked at the man in front of him with a sidelong glance and spoke disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiong became furious and took two steps forward, ready to argue with him.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Tianba nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and one of the men behind him stepped forward, pulled out a samurai sword, and slashed at Liu Xiong.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed across the katana, and then the man shouted, "Break!"
The katana accelerated instantly in the man's hand, slashing towards Liu Xiong who was moving forward.
Liu Xiong had only come forward to reason with the other party out of anger, unarmed and unprepared for the other party's lack of martial ethics, which resulted in a deadly attack.
He barely dodged the blade, but not the aura of its energy.
As the blade flashed, Liu Xiong's clothes were torn to shreds like tofu, and then, to everyone's horror, he was cut in two.
The entire hall was completely silent, deathly still.
Seeing his younger brother die a horrible death, Liu Ying, the older brother, felt a surge of anger rising from his heart to his brain.
He immediately fell silent, pulled a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed at the man holding the samurai sword.
Seeing their leader make a move, the henchmen behind him grabbed their weapons and ran towards the person opposite them.
Chen Ling and Yan Kuan exchanged a glance. The enemy had already come to their doorstep, and they knew things couldn't end well.
They understood the principle of mutual dependence and, one after another, drew their weapons and joined the battle.
Seeing the crowd rushing towards him, Zhao Tianba snorted coldly, thinking, "These are just a bunch of worthless bastards."
With a disdainful wave of his right hand, his men drew their military rifles and pulled the triggers on the security guards who were rushing towards them.
Many community security guards, who did not possess firearms, were hit by bullets and fell to the ground instantly.
Gunfights and hand-to-hand combat erupted into chaos within the residential area.
Despite their good intentions, the people in the neighborhood were outmatched in terms of weapons and equipment, and suffered a great loss.
Seeing the seamless teamwork of Zhao Tianba's men, Yan Kuan knew they had encountered an elite bacteria team or mercenaries.
He gritted his teeth and said to his bodyguard, "Have them bring all the weapons from the house here."
The bodyguard responded and crouched down, making his way towards the villa.
