Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A strange thought came to Su Shanshan’s mind. ‘Ihere seemed to be too many
coincidences in this world- The black box that fell from the sky caused the
amxalypse, and the extraterrestrial meteorite that fell from the sky restrained
the mutant plants. The zombies were too powerful for people to fight them off,
and a quake occurred in City M just in time to give humanity a chance of
survival. All of this seemed to be controlled by a big hand, forcing humanity to
the edge, yet giving them a chance of survival at turn.
She shook her head and threw this thought out of her mind. Regardless of
whether this was all her imagination or if they were really clues to follow, it
was not something she could mull over now. She would only know all of this by
making herself strong and standing at the peak of the world.
In just a short while, the whirlpool had slowed down. entire pool of water
regained its transparency, and the whirlpool slowly disappeared until it was
Su Shanshan hesitated, then wrapped her arm in cold ice and pulled out the
extraterrestrial meteorite from the water. The rock was no longer as hot as it
had been. It had become warm, not hot.
As soon as she picked it up, Su Shanshan felt the power in her body fluctuate. A
mysterious power was circulating with the power in her body. Every week, she
could feel that her power had increased a little. It was slow but then she had
never heard of a way to improve her power without a crystal core. The spiritual
spring water was only useful for her power when she drank it for the first time.
This made her happy. Gu Jincheng had lightning and mental power , and the
corresponding crystal nucleus was not easy to find. If he had this, he would not
have to keep looking for high-level zombies to obtain crystal nuclei to increase
his power.
Thinking of Gu Jincheng, she panicked. Would he do something stupid after he
thought that Td died? she wondered.
She placed the extraterrestrial meteorite on her chest and let the warm feeling
spread from her chest to her entire body. She quickly tried to find a way out.
There was only one passageway in this cave. After walking for about 500
meters from where she was, she came to a dead end. There was just a stone
wall up ahead.
She knocked on the stone wall. Judging from the sound, there should be
another space on the other side. An ice blade appeared in her hand and she
swung it forcefully. The stone wall collapsed easily in her hands. She took a
step back to avoid the flying debris.
The moment the stone wall was shattered, low growls could be heard. Three
figures staggered unsteadily in front of her. Su Shanshan did not expect the
zombies to be alive. She quickly gathered three ice blades and threw them at
the three zombies. The ice blades hit the zombies’ heads and they fell to the
ground.
Su Shanshan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these three zombies were
only level-one zombies.
After the dust settled, she saw the situation clearly. There was another stone
wall in front of her. With her previous experience, she carefully cut through the
stone wall with her ice blade. She took two steps back and waited for a while,
but nothing happened.
She picked up a stone and threw it in that direction. The stone hit the ground
with a dull thud , but there was still no sign of anything happening on the other
side. She took tvvo steps forward. There was nothing behind the half destroyed
stone wall, but a new stone wall had appeared in front of her. This
underground place seemed to be made of these blocks. Do I have to keep
fighting to the bitter end before I can get out? she wondered.
With this in mind, she swung another ice blade.
The moment the stone wall shattered, a black shadow rushed out. ‘Ihe speed
caused Su Shanshan’s cheek to be pierced even though she was prepared. A
drop of blood fell from her face. Su Shanshan took a step back, but the black
shadow was faster. It charged straight at her and emitted a sound of
excitement unique to zombies.
Relying on her instincts, she dodged to the left. An air-piercing sound came
from beside her. Instantly, a bloody gash appeared on her arm. ‘Itie dripping
blood made the zombie even more excited. The roar was much louder. It stood
stock-still, observing Su Shanshan.
Su Shanshan stared at the zombie opposite her. It was a level-three zombie!
There was no time to bandage the wound. She pulled a shirt from her space and
tie the wound to stop the bleedi1V By this time the zombie had lost its
patience. It attacked Su Shanshan again.
