Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was the first time that Su Shanshan was facing a level-three zombie alone. An ice blade appeared in her hand. She used an ice wall to block the zombie’s attacks while using the ice blade to ambush it. The zombie could not get close to her. Its excitement turned into an impatient roar.
The deafening roar rattled some of the stones above its head. Su Shanshan was looking at it calmly. When it was not paying attention, she fired an ice blade. The zombie was probably famished and was moving faster.

Su Shanshan’s face slowly turned pale. She had to defend and attack at the same time. She was a level lower than the zombie to begin with, and the protracted exertion was fast depleting her superpower.

With a roar, the zombie ignored the ice blade that was swung at it and charged quickly in Su Shanshan’s direction.

$u Shanshan was already feeling overwhelmed. Once her superpower was depleted, death would await her. Her gaze turned sharp and instead of dodging, she decided to face the zombie head-on. She had to take a gamble.

The zombie opened its mouth excitedly and bit her neck. At that moment, the zombie suddenly froze and fell on her. She had thrust an ice blade precisely into the back of the zombie’s head.

It was her last bit of her superpower. Exhausted, Su Shanshan fell to the ground. It did not feel good losing her superpower. Not only was she weak, but her head was also hurting.

She used her last bit of strength to push away the zombie on her body and took two deep breaths. She ignored the filth on her body and released some spiritual spring water to drink. Because she was so weak, her hands were trembling and the spiritual spring water spilled all over her face. If it wasn’t for
the fact that the spiritual spring water was inexhaustible, her heart would really ache.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, she spread her arms and lay on the ground, waiting to regain her physical strength and superpowers. At that moment, she felt grateful for those stone walls. Otherwise, any level-one zombie might have killed her.

‘The warmth in her chest spread to her body. The superpower circulating in her body became more rapid, bringing with it a slight stinging sensation. Su Shanshan endured it with a frown. Her superpower was working faster, causing hot flashes in her body, as if something in her mind had shattered. Then
she raised her hand and an ice blade appeared, cold and hard. The ground around her showed signs of freezing.

She had leveled up!

After regaining her strength, she sat up. There was not only excitement on her face, but also a sense of inquiry. It seemed that the extraterrestrial rock became more effective after she exhausted her superpower. It would be good if she could level up every time she depleted her superpower. However, she
knew that this was impossible. This level-up was only because she was at a low level and needed less energy.

Su Shanshan became even more cautious in the cave. If the level-four and level-five zombies in City M were still alive, she would really be finished if she was unlucky and came upon them.
she pummeled the stone wall again. The Goddess of Luck showed her mercy again. This time, there were only five level-one zombies. With a wave of her hand, she killed them with five ice blades.
Trapped in this cave, she tried to break through the stone ceiling above her head, but it was useless. No matter how hard she tried, it did not budge. She could only break through one wall at a time.

Time passed slowly. As she kept fighting zombies, exhausting her power and restoring it, Su Shanshan broke through several levels. She was now a level-five superpowered person. She had already met many level-four zombies. Now, level-four zombies were no longer her match. She had still to contend
with level-five zombies.

She did not know how much time had passed, but from the original 500 meters to where she could no longer see the whirlpool, she had advanced within the cave. Su Shanshan stood in front of a new stone wall. Having lived in a killing field for a long time, she had a murderous aura about her. Her eyes
were cold as she looked at the stone wall in front of her and waved her hand without hesitation.

Rumble! The stone wall collapsed. However, the situation was different from before. This time, after the wall collapsed, the fissures expanded along the stone ceiling above her head. The falling stones kept raining down. Soon the passage that Su Shanshan had opened was buried under the stones..
