Su Shanshan, who was in a fit of rage, became calmer.
Yes, here!
She looked at a zombie among the zombies. It was very inconspicuous, but there was a small black shadow sitting on its shoulder. It was the zombie baby.
“Capture the leader before capturing the bandits!” she cried.
Gu Zhao received her message in an instant. The two of them cooperated with each other as they killed zombies and ran towards the zombie baby. The zombie baby, who noticed this, did not escape but waited for them on the spot. It was confident of its own power.
The ice blades in Su Shanshan’s hands turned into icicles and flew toward the zombie baby. However, the speed of the icicles was too slow. Not only did it dodge them, but it also imitated them and transformed them into icicles that came at Su Shanshan at an even faster speed.
Su Shanshan ducked to the side, but several of the icicles punctured the skin on her face.
Gu Zhao followed up with a whirlwind attack. This time, the zombie baby was clearly more alert. It jumped onto another zombie’s shoulder to dodge, but the whirlwind actually followed it.
Gu Zhao manipulated the whirlwind to attack the zombie baby. All the zombies around him were left to Su Shanshan to clean up. Such was their tacit understanding and trust.
Su Shanshan saw the zombie baby being hit by the whirlwind, but it shielded itself with its own ice shield. Then she had an idea.
“Gu Zhao, send out another whirlwind. Something bigger,” she said.
After Gu Zhao did as he was told, she extended her hand and conjured an ice spike to hide in the whirlwind.
Gu Zhao instantly understood her intention. The two of them attacked the zombie baby together.
The zombie baby was still using its ice shield to block the whirlwind. It was giggling.
In the next second, the ice shield on its body was broken by the ice spikes hidden in the whirlwind, and the baby zombie was instantly torn to pieces.
Su Shanshan was relieved to see that their move was effective.
Without the baby zombie’s orders, the surrounding zombies slowly moved away. A lot of zombies had been killed, so the number of zombies in this area had decreased.
There were quite a number of level-one zombies in this place. Half of the zombies on the ground had crystal cores, but Su Shanshan was not in the mood to care about that. She carefully searched for Fei Lan by identifying the corpses on the ground.
No, still no sign of him!
This was good news, but it was also bad news. “Where is Fei Lan?” she wondered.
Su Shanshan felt a stinging pain on her back and her body was heating up. Her vision was blurry, but she still insisted on searching among the corpses on the ground.
Gu Zhao frowned and said, “Are you feeling alright? You should rest first. I’ll look for him.”
Su Shanshan shook her head, but her body swayed as she was supported by Gu Zhao.
“No, you have to rest,” Gu Zhao said insistently.
Su Shanshan was about to say more when she heard a voice.
“Sister Shanshan!” They looked up to see Fei Lan walking over with blood all over his body. He was covered in wounds of all sizes, and there was a smile on his face.
He raised his left hand and a green grass appeared out of thin air. He shouted, “I have awakened my superpower.” Fortunately, there were no zombies nearby. Otherwise, they would have to wage another fierce battle.
Su Shanshan felt a little dizzy. She leaned over and whispered something into Gu Zhao’s ear before fainting with relief.
Fei Lan quickly stopped showing off and asked anxiously, “What happened to Sister Shanshan?”
Gu Zhao’s expression was a little strange. The skin under his hands was a little hot. He turned Su Shanshan over in his arms and saw that the place where the zombie baby had scratched had become red and swollen, and black blood was constantly oozing out.
He quickly explained what Su Shanshan had told him before she fainted. “Fei Lan, search these zombies’ brains. See if there are any nuclei. If there are, collect them.”
Fei Lan had seen a crystal nucleus before. He nodded, then put Cao Yunjin and the rest to work.
A woman was hiding in the dark, looking at them with hatred.
