Chapter 108 Mutation
Half an hour passed...
An hour passed...
An hour and a half passed...
The dark world was finally broken by the morning light. The two-hour battle of high-intensity concentration made the four people exhausted. Especially since they had to fight against the remaining sleepiness in their bodies, it was a huge challenge for them.
Even though it was daybreak, they could not let their guard down, as it would take some time for the huge zombie swarm to disperse.
As the sun rose, the unknown plants stopped emitting scent. Without a source to attract zombies, the zombie tide began to slowly recede from the periphery.
Without the stimulant-like bonus, the zombies' fighting power dropped to their original daytime level, but the fatigue in their bodies remained.
Despite this, their pressure has been reduced a lot.
By the time the zombie horde retreated and the few remaining zombies were dealt with by them, the sun was already high in the sky.
"call……"
The four of them were so tired that they didn't even have the strength to talk. Driving became even more difficult in the second half. Yan Mo could only use his mental power to attack the zombies while looking for a gap to drive the car. His mental power was completely overdrawn.
The situation of the other people was not much better. Even though they used thermal weapons and superpowers interchangeably, the superpowers in their bodies had reached a state of drying up.
The fastest way to replenish the body's superpowers is to absorb the energy in the crystal cores. Shuxin took out all the spare crystal cores on her body for them to absorb, which only slightly alleviated the discomfort caused by overusing their superpowers.
They could only come down and use local materials to dig out zombie crystal cores.
As soon as they got out of the car, they were almost vomited by the strong stench that hit them in the face. The body of the RV was covered with the remains of zombie flesh and blood, as if it had been dug out from a mountain of zombies.
In fact, the real situation is not much different.
The smell of blood and stench here is too strong, and it will easily attract groups of mutant crows or other mutant animals that feed on zombie flesh. They cannot stay here for long.
"Tsk~"
"yue~"
"Luckily we are driving a RV, which has a tall body and a high chassis. Otherwise, we might not be able to drive through the piles of zombies we killed along the way."
Looking in amazement at the RV that was covered in blood and flesh by zombies, and then looking at the corpses scattered all around, Xiangwen spoke as he spoke.
"Let's get down to business first."
Yan Mo frowned slightly as he looked at the dirty, bloody environment in front of him, and urged Xiangwen to stop standing there in a daze and get down to business first.
"Everyone should put on three masks first, at least it can block some of the smell, it's really too bad, ugh~"
Shu Xin took out a handful of masks from the space and quickly distributed them to everyone, stuffing a few into their hands, without leaving out gloves.
The scene was so disgusting that they couldn't do it without gloves!
Seeing the RV painted like this, Shuxin would never put it in the space again. Just looking at it would make her feel that other things would be contaminated.
They still had to drive the car away later, so Shuxin took out a small high-pressure water gun specially used for washing cars from the space and rinsed the body of the RV. If she didn't wash it, she was afraid that zombie bodies would drop down while she was driving on the road.
Eh~
When Shu Xin thought of that scene, she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body. She was disgusted by the scene she imagined.
Yan Mo saw Shu Xin washing the car on the spot without wandering around. He lowered his head and started digging the crystal core with confidence. Accidents often happen when people let down their guard.
They killed a lot of zombies along the way, especially in the last period when they could hardly move. They just stopped where they were and focused on dealing with the zombies, causing the zombie corpses around the RV to pile up like a small mountain.
The vast majority of zombies have no thoughts and do not know how to hide themselves. This situation changed in the late apocalypse when high-level zombies appeared.
Therefore, Yan Mo never thought that there would be zombies taking the opportunity to ambush under the pile of corpses, catching them off guard when they rushed out.
"careful!!!"
Without the support of psychic powers, Yan Mo's own intuition about danger was equally strong. His sensitive nerves sensed that something was wrong and he issued a warning immediately.
“Hmm—”
"hiss--"
Unfortunately, they were still a step too late. Ni Xiangwen and Makimai, who were closer, relied on their body's instinct to avoid the zombies' fatal attack. However, due to their current very bad condition, all they could do was to avoid the fatal spots and they could not avoid being injured.
Yan Mo was also attacked. His reaction was a little faster than Xiangwen and Qimai, but he was also stabbed in the left arm.
"!!!"
"husband!!!"
Shu Xin turned around when she heard the noise, and just in time saw Yan Mo and the others narrowly avoid the sneak attack, and then got injured. A series of events happened in just five seconds.
What ambushed them were actually three level three zombies. Even though Yan Mo and the others had weapons with them and reacted quickly, without their special powers and with their physical energy over-consumed, they eventually fell into a disadvantage.
They were fighting so fast that Shu Xin didn't dare to shoot to help. It would be fine if he didn't hit the zombie, but if he accidentally hit one of his own people, that would be counterproductive.
Her reckless rush forward was no different from holding back.
Shuxin was extremely anxious watching him from the side, and tried desperately to suppress the supernatural powers that had just recovered a little in her body.
Seeing more and more wounds on Yan Mo and the other two, Shu Xin was so anxious that she was about to cry, when finally "Fuyuan" appeared in the palm of her hand.
Shu Xin endured the tearing pain in her body and the blackening symptoms in front of her eyes, and added a layer of protection circle for the three people, releasing a small restriction circle within the range of the three zombies' activities.
After doing all this, "Wish Fulfilled" disappeared in her hand like a point of light. She leaned against the freshly rinsed car body behind her, feeling relieved and powerless. She couldn't even stand on her own.
"Heart treasure!"
Yan Mo felt that he had a familiar supernatural power. He turned to look at Shu Xin. Shu Xin's face, as pale as paper, told it all.
Yan Mo's face looked very ugly, and he attacked the zombie in front of him even more ruthlessly.
The zombie on the opposite side clearly felt the aura that Yan Mo was not to be trifled with, and its animal-like instinct to seek profit and avoid harm made it choose to give up continuing to entangle with the person in front of it. The weak human in the distance was more suitable for it.
“Hehe——”
After passing the message to its two companions, the speed zombie that was fighting with Yan Mo quickly passed Yan Mo and ran towards Shu Xin's position behind him.
"!!!"
Yan Mo noticed the zombies' movements and was about to chase after them, but was stopped by two zombies that suddenly appeared in front of him and had to pull his hands away to deal with them.
