Chapter 33 Zombie World 12
Chapter 33
Thinking of the protective suits Dr. Ma and the others were wearing, Lin Xia's expression changed, and she immediately exchanged for a [special mask] to replace the ordinary mask on her face.
She had been fighting, so it was inevitable that she would have wounds. The system only said that she wouldn't be affected by airborne transmission if she wasn't injured, so it was better to be safe than sorry.
Ji Wei, who had been watching her closely, also glanced at the broken tube, covered her mouth and nose, and whispered, "Seventh Sister, can I exchange this for a mask?" As she spoke, she took out a [Healing Card] from her storage ring.
Lin Xia nodded, took it, and exchanged it for a [special mask] for her.
Xie Cheng and his comrades naturally saw it too, and those who hadn't noticed before also saw it. They looked at each other, and those who had protective suits quickly took them out and put them on, those who had masks put them on, and some even wore gas masks.
Those who were completely unprepared looked at each other in bewilderment, quickly exchanging items, while others remained unconcerned, saying that the system had already stated that airborne transmission would not affect them.
Xie Cheng and his comrades discussed for a few moments, and one of them took out a card from his spatial ring and handed it to Lin Xia, asking nervously, "Can this be exchanged for three masks?"
Backup successful: 1 Beauty Card backed up, 1000 Survival Points required.
[Beauty Card: Weld beauty filters onto your face! Effect: Permanent.]
Lin Xia was delighted with the new item; it cost 1000 survival points and would give her a lot of experience.
"able."
Along the way, they killed several more monsters: a human upper body growing out of a tree, a winged zombie child, and a zombie amalgamation monster that looked like a stitched-together monster.
These monsters all share a common characteristic: they move slowly but possess great physical strength. However, no matter how strong they are, Lin Xia and Xie Cheng's longswords can cut them in half with a single strike.
So, by 2 p.m., no other dangers were encountered, which was due to the power of the weapon enhanced by the metal elemental ability.
They rested and ate on the spot. Dr. Ma was in the car studying the two men's long knives. He was excited by the unidentified substance marked on the instrument, but he couldn't get his hands on the actual object to study it in detail. He was almost unable to contain himself.
Lin Xia silently ate the compressed biscuits and drank water, using her mental energy to observe Dr. Ma's appearance. She saw him telling the person on the other end of the phone that he wanted more time to test, because he had not yet used his ability to throw knives.
But they refused. He then sent them the test data, and the two sides went through a back-and-forth struggle. Finally, they said they needed to hold a meeting to discuss it...
Lin Xia's heart skipped a beat. Could she stall for time? Those people wanted a superhuman, they couldn't possibly want someone who had turned to ashes, could they?
But looking at the long, monster-themed corridor behind her, she hesitated. What if those people didn't buy it? What if she encountered an invincible being? She could only keep a close eye on Dr. Ma's movements.
A scream rang out, followed by chaos in the crowd, and several people turned into zombies.
Once the chaos subsided, people nervously dispersed.
"What happened? This person was wearing a gas mask, and he suddenly turned into a zombie!"
“Look at his body, he has wounds.”
"Everyone, check if they all have wounds."
Upon examination, it was found that they all had wounds, but some were extremely minor and they may not have even noticed them themselves.
This discovery plunged everyone into despair, making them resistant to fighting monsters. Dr. Ma was also puzzled, as none of the people without superpowers who followed behind were infected.
Before everyone could compose themselves, another scream rang out.
Lin Xia looked at the monster chewing on half a corpse on the ceiling in the distance, and felt a chill in his heart. This was the first monster he had ever killed.
Its cold eyes stared at Lin Xia, and Lin Xia finally realized that it could indeed distinguish the characteristics of food. Her kind, with more energy, was indeed easier to be targeted.
People watched it warily, knowing that this monster was different from the previous ones; it was too fast!
Lin Xia raised her long sword. Now that she had a handy weapon and close-combat skills, she was not afraid of it this time!
The two fought at lightning speed, while the others slowly retreated. Lin Xia had experience dealing with it and was even faster, quickly dodging its tongue, tail, and body, and hitting it with every strike.
Before long, it was covered in black blood and tried to break through to eat people. Lin Xia blocked all its escape routes. After fighting for a while, she found that she had a handy weapon. It turned out that this monster that she thought was troublesome was nothing special.
Without wasting any more time, I sliced off its tongue with one stroke, cut off its tail with another, and chopped it in half with the third.
Lin Xia stood in front of the monster, gripping a knife dripping with black pus and blood, while the people behind her watched her silently.
She originally thought that throwing knives from a distance was a perfect fighting style for her—safe and clean—but now she felt she might be wrong.
The feeling of each cut hitting the flesh was, well, quite satisfying. She looked down at herself, somewhat disgusted; it was ruining her clothes.
Dr. Ma in the car was too excited to speak. Looking at the speed and strength measured in the test, he felt his own greatness once again. He had created a superman!
The group continued forward, and almost everyone had questions about Lin Xia's strength, but being surrounded by monsters, no one bothered to ask.
After eating and resting, Lin Xia looked at Ji Wei and said, "If you have any self-cleaning clothes, I'll exchange them for something nice with you."
Ji Wei was stunned for a moment, her lips twitching. Although the big boss knew she was lucky, he didn't need to treat her like a wishing tree...
After resting, they continued their journey. If they encountered any more slow-moving monsters, Lin Xia would not engage them, but the others were eager to try, especially those with weapons. Superpowered individuals were reluctant to use their abilities; they reserved them for crucial moments.
When encountering fast-moving monsters, Xie Cheng and Ji Wei cooperate quite well. Ji Wei will use water chains to lock the monster for a period of time, and Xie Cheng will attack, which is very effective.
This gave Lin Xia some inspiration. She tried to use her mental power to form chains to trap the monster, and to her surprise, she succeeded. The chains were invisible and intangible, making them even more concealed.
The journey went relatively smoothly. By 10 p.m., everyone was exhausted. They dispersed to eat some food and then rested.
Dr. Ma said they had already covered two-thirds of the distance and would soon reach their destination.
Lin Xia checked her survival points; she had 2992. She planned to save them and see what she needed later.
Late at night, Lin Xia didn't sleep well. In her dreams, she seemed to hear a faint lullaby being hummed. The song was incredibly gentle, yet filled with endless sorrow. She suddenly opened her eyes, touched the corner of her eye, and saw tears.
She listened carefully but heard no sound. However, she was certain that it was neither a dream nor an illusion. She recalled the feeling she had just experienced, and the force that had moved her to tears was a spiritual power she knew all too well.
