Ye Xiao climbed onto the rooftop and saw the zombie's back. Because he had come up silently, without making any noise, the zombie hadn't noticed him yet and continued to stare at the person in the door.
Ye Xiao did not attack immediately, but raised his hands. The air seemed to be summoned and suddenly spun, forming a circle around the zombie and enveloping it.
The zombie finally reacted and wanted to rush out immediately, but the next moment, wind blades extended from the inside of the whirlwind, just like small knives appearing on the inner wall of a blender. As the whirlwind spun, these knives cut the zombie's body one by one.
In an instant, its tattered clothes became even more tattered, and then turned into pieces and were swept into the whirlwind. Its skin, which was relatively intact compared to ordinary zombies, was also cut with wounds. Its hands, feet, body, head, and face became scarred to the point where the bones were visible in just a few seconds.
"Roar!" It roared angrily, and then the roar turned into a shriek, each one rapid and crazy. At the same time, it stretched out its hands and tore at the whirlwind. The rapidly spinning whirlwind was torn into an opening by it, but its palms were also shattered by the whirlwind, leaving only two mushy wrists.
Its face, facing the tornado, was turned into a ball of mud again, and its original appearance was completely unrecognizable. Only its two eyes were still firmly attached there, without any eyelids or eye sockets, and the two bare eyeballs looked particularly terrifying.
It broke free from the gap and fell to the ground, but before it could even land firmly, it got up again and ran towards the edge of the roof at an unimaginable speed.
It's going to escape!
Its speed reached its limit and turned into a phantom, but Ye Xiao was even faster. As early as the moment it broke free, he condensed the air in the direction of its escape and created an air barrier.
The extremely fast zombie slammed into it head-on, breaking the air barrier. It fell heavily to the ground and even slid several meters. A dent was left on the top of its head, which showed how hard the collision was.
"!" It screamed again, and at the same time, it did not run to the edge of the rooftop but dodged Ye Xiao's attack at an extremely fast speed. Ye Xiao's wind blade could not hit it at all. The wind net needed a certain amount of time to condense, including the air barrier.
He could only use wind blades to force it back from the edge of the roof.
Hearing the zombies' screams, the zombie horde below became agitated again, extremely excited. The zombies in the horde raised their heads and roared, and released from their mouths and hands what air, fireballs, water balls, stones, lightning, ice... They could also launch any attacks that human psychics could, and all these attacks were thrown onto the rooftop of the twelfth floor.
It hit the rooftop like hail of various colors.
Naturally, they couldn't accurately aim at Ye Xiao, whom they couldn't even see, but such frequent and intensive attacks were enough to distract Ye Xiao and even frequently interrupt his attacks on the zombies.
He frowned, and the zombie got a moment to breathe.
Not only that, the zombies below began to climb up the building frantically, either directly grabbing the wall with their hands and feet and rushing up, or sending out strangely shaped wooden vines that penetrated deeply into the walls of the building. The zombies grabbed the vines and used their hands and feet to climb up.
Just like a black and gray bug, it madly invaded the upper floors and in a few moments reached the second or third floor.
Lin Tantan's face turned cold as he watched. Fortunately, there were many people in the building who were not pushovers. When they saw the zombies piled up and climbing up, they immediately launched various attacks, including throwing tables and chairs to knock the climbing zombies down. As one zombie fell down, another climbed up. It seemed as if the two sides were engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle.
Lin Tantan no longer paid attention to this place, and continued to look up. He gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and a fiery and thick line of fire shot towards the roof. After touching the edge of the roof, it quickly spread out along both sides, taking a U-shaped route, surrounding the entire edge of the roof.
The edge of the rooftop was on fire, and the fire was still rising, forming a wall of fire that was also shrinking inward, like a pot lid with a hollow middle placed around and above the rooftop.
The supernatural attacks of the zombies below first fell on the lid of the flaming pot, and then were swallowed and melted by the fierce flames, and could no longer fall into the rooftop.
The entire rooftop was illuminated by the fire, turning it blood red. The air became hot and suffocating. Ye Xiao's face was also reflected red, and his eyes were illuminated as if two flames were burning.
He knew that it was Tan Tan who was helping him, and immediately seized this opportunity without any interference and launched a faster and stronger attack on the zombie.
The zombie no longer had a complete human form. Its face was rotten, its head was shrunken, its hands were missing, and there was not a single piece of good flesh on its naked body. It was just a skeleton jumping around.
But the speed is still so fast.
Seeing the raging wall of fire, it seemed a little uneasy and immediately ran to the edge of the rooftop, but was immediately burned back. It could not penetrate the flames at all. It roared angrily and stopped screaming. Its two bare eyeballs stared at Ye Xiao, as if it wanted to kill him with its eyes.
But Ye Xiao didn't look into its eyes at all. He only looked at the area below its shoulders, which was enough to judge its direction and actions.
It waved its two broken hands angrily and randomly. Ye Xiao seemed to be cut by something, and blood marks appeared on his face and arms.
He looked at the zombie solemnly. The zombie itself seemed to be stunned, and then seemed to understand something. It continued to wave its arms excitedly, and wind blades were swung out by it.
Obviously, this is also a wind-type zombie, but its previous abilities were used for fast movement and amazing jumping ability, and could not be used for attacking. But now, it has developed its own attack skills.
Suddenly, the two wind elements attacked and avoided each other on the rooftop.
The ground of the rooftop was cut by the wind blades, and cement blocks were splashed. The edge of the wall was also chopped into pieces by the wind blades and fell downstairs. The people hiding in the safety door wanted to see the battle situation clearly, but either they moved too fast and passed by in the limited field of vision, or they were almost blinded by the shooting wind blades.
"Damn, what's going on? Should we go out and help?" someone said.
"I also want to go out and help, but they are so fast. I think not only can we not help, but we might also accidentally hurt Captain Ye." said another person.
The others were speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed very possible.
So they just stand here and watch? Oh, they can't really see it either, it's really frustrating.
Lin Tan Tan was also anxious. She had no idea what was going on up there, but Ye Xiao had been there for several minutes. She didn't know what was going on now. She was maintaining the firewall remotely and in the air, and she had no time to do anything else. Fortunately, the other forty or fifty people were lurking everywhere. He found the zombies in the group who were persistently launching supernatural attacks at the roof or the building. However, while they were concentrating on the attack, he decisively shot them with cold arrows.
A zombie that kept throwing sharp earth spikes into the air was suddenly shattered in the head by a bolt of lightning.
A zombie that was clinging to the wall with a wooden vine had its head pierced by an ice spike.
A zombie with a golden glow on its head banged its head against the closed door of the building, and was suddenly cut in the neck by a wind blade.
The zombies that climbed the fastest outside the building were also attacked by the assassins and fell down from the building.
There was a very small zombie that looked less than five years old. It crawled very fast and reached the top floor without anyone noticing. However, after it came into contact with the wall of fire, it started to burn and fell from the roof like a fireball.
But even so, the zombies continued to climb at night, and the pile of corpses became higher and higher, and was about to reach the fifth floor where the survivors were. The survivors were on the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors. So, the survivors on the fifth floor could only run upwards.
But some zombies crawled in through the windows on the second, third and fourth floors. Now zombies have appeared in the building. The people in the building not only have to deal with the crazy zombies outside, but also have to be wary of the zombies inside the building. The situation is already very critical.
At this moment, on the top floor, Ye Xiao used a huge wind blade to cut off the zombie's head and one shoulder. The extremely tenacious and troublesome zombie was finally separated from its head and body. Its deformed head rolled on the ground, and its eyeballs were staring blankly, as if it couldn't believe what was happening. But even at this time, Ye Xiao didn't look at those eyes, but just stretched out his hand, wanting to crush the head completely with his supernatural power.
At this moment, the person who saw Ye Xiao finally chop the zombie in two ran out from the security door excitedly: "Captain Ye, you succeeded."
Ye Xiao glanced at them indifferently, and at this moment, the head on the ground suddenly pushed its remaining shoulders against the ground, and the head flew up and rushed towards them.
The people who were running over were shocked, and Ye Xiao's face also changed. He tried to hit the head, but the head turned abruptly in the middle and flew towards the wall of fire. The whole head pierced through the wall of fire, turned into a head of fire, and continued to fly outward.
Lin Tan Tan saw a fireball suddenly fly out from the rooftop and fly towards her. She was startled, and then she found that it was not a fireball at all, but a burnt and deformed head. Two eyeballs that were almost falling out of the burnt eye sockets were particularly clear, staring at her as if to eat her.
She couldn't help but take a step back. The next moment, the fire that was shooting towards her like a cannonball stopped in the air. It seemed to be imprisoned by an invisible force, roaring and howling, and the little bit of its remaining shoulder twisted and struggled.
Lin Tan Tan looked up and saw another person appear in the wall of fire at the edge of the rooftop. His body was still in the wall of fire, but his upper body was sticking out, with one hand stretched out. It was obvious that the power grabbing the fire came from him.
Lin Tan Tan hurriedly retracted the wall of fire, but it was too late. His body was burned. Lin Tan Tan was shocked and angry. All the flames turned towards the head hanging in the air and wrapped it in heavy flames.
The head screamed even more miserably, but in the end, the unwilling sounds and movements weakened little by little, and it shrank up like this, and then was burned to ashes. With sparks falling, nothing was left except a bright blue crystal core.
Lin Tantan subconsciously hooked the fallen crystal core with a wooden strap. All the dirt in his hand had been burned clean. A green crystal core lay in the palm of his hand, with almost no flaws. The beautiful color was like the clear blue sky and the deep sea, extremely beautiful.
Is this the fourth-level crystal core? Judging from its mass, it seems to be more than that, because it is much stronger than the third-level crystal core.
She looked at Ye Xiao on the edge of the rooftop. Ye Xiao was leaning slightly on the edge of the rooftop, looking at her from afar and smiling at her.
In the moonlight, his smile was very beautiful.
Unfortunately, now is not the time to appreciate it. Once the weird zombie died, the number of zombies gathering from afar decreased, but the zombies already under the building continued to climb up because they smelled human scent, a lot of human scent, and very delicious human scent. Even without the command of the leader, they attacked madly out of instinct.
Ye Xiao took a breath on the rooftop, then turned to the stunned members of the Zhengyang Brigade and said, "Go downstairs and call everyone up. We'll leave from the rooftop."
"Oh, oh, oh!" Several people responded and hurried to go down.
"Wait." Ye Xiao called them again: "Is there any fire element?"
"Yes, I am!" said a young man.
Ye Xiao asked him to burn the headless corpse of the zombie. He felt that it was best not to leave any part of the zombie's body. Who knows if it might be highly contagious, or if it might be like a centipede that is still alive but still alive, and be reborn at any time.
Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, this is the first time I've seen such a powerful and difficult zombie. Is there any zombie that can get up and fly after its head falls off?
After making the arrangements, Ye Xiao took out his communicator and went to the rooftop again. While looking at Lin Tan, he said to her through the communicator: "People here are leaving from the rooftop. I'll be there soon."
Lin Tan nodded, looked up at him and said, "Are you burned?"
Ye Xiao looked at the charred cloth stuck to his skin. His flesh was indeed hurt by the table, and he felt pain. But he said lightly: "It's okay. You forgot, my body is not what it used to be. It can't be burned."
As they were talking, people downstairs came up one after another. Ye Xiao told them to just go out from the roof in the same way as before. Then these people took out the prepared steel cables and grappling hooks and threw them out, connecting the rooftop to the surrounding roofs. One of them connected to the roof where Lin Tan was.
Ye Xiao told them to leave and find a place to spend the night. They didn't need to come back for a gathering, and he wouldn't look for them again. As for those who had stared at the zombie, since the zombie was now dead, they didn't know if the nightmare effect still existed. They could try to sleep. If they continued to have nightmares, they should contact the base and go back tomorrow.
After he said that, he asked everyone to slide down, and those who had not yet taken their turn cast their supernatural powers down from the rooftop to make the zombies that climbed too high fall down a little.
Ye Xiao collected some bombs, gunpowder and other things from everyone, and went downstairs to quickly make some arrangements.
Lin Tantan was watching people sliding over. From the twelfth floor to the fourth floor, the huge height difference made sliding very easy and fast. One after another, the zombies below also found that their food had run away, so they turned around and pounced on the surrounding buildings.
Therefore, most of the people who slid down did not stay after gathering their companions, but stepped on the roof and left. Lin Tantan was still waiting for Ye Xiao there. Finally, he also slid down from above and hugged her as soon as he landed.
But she pushed him away and looked him up and down: "Are you okay?"
He was injured, after all, he was cut a few times by the zombie's wind blade, but he was not scratched or bitten, and there was no infection.
Ye Xiao smiled gently and said, "I'm fine. If you don't believe me, check it out yourself."
Lin Tan Tan really checked it himself with the wood element, and only felt relieved after confirming that his body was not infected with zombie energy.
Ye Xiao turned around and looked at the thirty or so people who were still on the roof. They were all members of the Zhengyang Brigade. They had voluntarily stayed. He didn't say much and just said, "Let's go."
They left the roof together. Fortunately, the houses here were close to each other, otherwise it would have been difficult to escape. After moving away a little, the forty or fifty people who had come to rescue before also gathered together. Ye Xiao looked back at the twelve-story building that stood out from the crowd in the moonlight and pressed the detonator in his hand.
There was a loud roar in the building, and glass and cement were blown away. Finally, the whole building collapsed, and it was unknown how many zombies were crushed to death.
The group of more than 80 people found a new place to stay for the night. They didn't go back to the middle school they had been staying at before. They couldn't go back. The area was full of zombies summoned by the strange zombies. Some of them had lost their way. The overall zombie density was very high. In some places, the entire street was filled with wandering zombies. They could only walk wherever they saw fit.
They finally found a supermarket, sneaked in quietly, cleared out the only two or three zombies inside, and cleared out a clean area. Everyone sat down tiredly.
The forty or fifty rescuers were tired from running back and forth and shooting arrows at the zombies, while the more than thirty people from the Zhengyang Brigade had escaped danger and were in high spirits. They didn't want to move much and just wanted to have a good sleep. However, among the more than thirty people from the Zhengyang Brigade, fully half of them looked at each other with strange expressions.
"You go to sleep first." said one person.
"You go to sleep first, I'll protect you." said the person who was asked to sleep first.
"No, no, no, you first."
The man turned around and said, "If anyone wants to sleep right away, I'll be watching over him here."
But no one said anything. No one wanted to be the first to eat something new, especially a poisonous one.
Lin Tantan took out a bottle of water from the hamster's space and drank it in small sips. Looking at these people who were pushing each other as if sleeping was going to death, he silently screwed the bottle cap on.
Ye Xiao finished a bottle of water and looked at the one in Lin Tan's hand: "Don't you want to drink anymore?"
Lin Tantan shook his head, so he took the water and drank it.
Lin Tantan blushed a little, because she had drunk that.
But her blush only lasted for a moment. She couldn't help but look at those people again. After drinking the water, Ye Xiao looked at the people who hadn't pushed anyone out and asked, "Have you all seen the zombie's eyes?"
More than a dozen people looked at him in unison. Under the light of several flashlights placed on the ground, their eyes seemed to be glowing, and it was a glow of grievance.
"Look, I see."
"I saw it from a distance."
"I only saw it from a few meters away, and I was shocked."
Ye Xiao said, "This stalemate isn't a solution. What if the zombie dies and its supernatural power disappears? Don't you guys sleep at night? It's only ten o'clock now, and there are still several hours left. We need to find someone to try."
Seeing these people looking at each other in confusion, no one wanted to be the first one, Ye Xiao had no choice but to say, "How about we draw lots?"
So the result of the draw was that the unlucky guy who had fought the zombies at close range behind the security door drew the sleeping lot.
He was so sad that he could not even cry, and he looked pitifully at the piece of paper he had drawn that had the word "sleep" written on it. In the end, he could only lie down in frustration.
Then, under the staring gaze of countless pairs of eyes, he couldn't fall asleep.
So everyone turned off the lights again.
The unfortunate guy still couldn't sleep, but after a while, he really felt sleepy. After all the trouble, he was really tired. His pig-like snoring could be heard in the supermarket.
Everyone: Finally fell asleep?
People turned on their flashlights and shone them on him again, and pairs of eyes stared at him and observed him again.
Lin Tan Tan also looked at it for a while, and finally remembered something. He whispered to Ye Xiao: "Let me see the wound on your body."
The wounds on Ye Xiao's body were not deep. The ones cut by the wind blade were already healing. However, there were large areas on his shoulders, back and abdomen where the clothes were burned and stuck to his skin, and his skin was also burned red.
Although his body had been modified, Lin Tantan's flame was not ordinary, especially the wall of fire she held up, which consumed huge energy.
Lin Tan Tan wet a towel, soaked Ye Xiao's clothes in it, and then carefully tore it off. He then gave him treatment, and soon the burned area became smooth, though it was still a little red.
She also noticed that there was no more blood on Ye Xiao's body, which seemed to indicate that his body was completely healed.
He pulled the hamster out of his pocket, poked it awake, and made it spit out a piece of Ye Xiao's clothing. While Ye Xiao was getting dressed, the loud snorer suddenly stopped snoring. The people around him, who had been made particularly sleepy by his snoring, suddenly perked up. Why was it suddenly quiet? What was going on?
Look at the sleeping person again.
I saw that his breathing became heavy, his head kept shaking from side to side, sweat dripping out, and his expression became panic-stricken.
"No, no no! Run! Run! Help! Help!"
Everyone was shocked and their expressions became extremely serious, especially the dozen or so people who had been tricked. All the hope they had in their hearts was gone.
"Forget it, wake him up."
Someone said it, but before anyone could shout, the man suddenly started screaming, "Ahhhh" as if a pig was being slaughtered, which made people shudder. Finally, he let out a heart-wrenching "Ahhh" and suddenly sat up from the ground, opened his mouth, grabbed his clothes, and breathed in big gulps. His expression was extremely scary.
Someone close to him touched him carefully: "Are you okay?" The man turned his head suddenly, his eyes fierce and violent, as if he was still immersed in a dream, which scared people. After a while, he calmed down, shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Not good."
No one knew what to say, and the previous relaxed atmosphere was gone.
Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes. This situation was indeed not good.
Her body tightened as Lin Tan moved closer to him. He put his arm around her and patted her gently: "Are you scared? Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Lin Tantan opened his mouth, nodded slightly, and leaned in his arms, still holding the little hamster in his hand. He subconsciously started to make some gurgling sounds, but the sleeping little hamster was completely unaware and slept even more soundly.
