Chapter 53
"Since you're all going, I might as well risk my life to join you," Nie Yizhou picked up a fire hydrant from the roadside.0
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at him, "What are you doing?"0
"I'm taking this to smash zombies."0
"...Weren't you afraid of zombies?" Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at him sideways.0
Nie Yizhou puffed out his chest proudly, "I've had a change of heart. I can't keep being so depressed. It's time for me to rise up!"0
"...Admirable courage. Good luck to you."0
The three of them returned to the pharmacy together.0
Lu Chen quickly shut the sliding door of the pharmacy, ensuring the zombies inside couldn't get out.0
There were still twenty to thirty zombies outside the pharmacy.0
Upon seeing the three appear, those zombies immediately ran towards them in a frenzy.0
The three people and one scorpion lined up side by side, with Nie Yizhou on the left, Yun Xiaoxiao and Little Cutie in the middle, and Lu Chen on the right.0
The first zombie charged straight at Nie Yizhou.0
Yun Xiaoxiao could sense the tension in the person next to her.0
"It's just a disgusting, stinking zombie. I'm not afraid. I don't believe I can't smash you to death!"0
"Bang!"0
Nie Yizhou roared with a trembling voice, lifting the fire hydrant and using all his strength to smash it down.0
The zombie's brain instantly exploded.0
"Huh? Was it that simple?"0
Nie Yizhou couldn't quite believe he had actually killed a zombie.0
He instantly became full of confidence and pride.0
"Haha, looks like I have some talent for killing zombies after all."0
"Holy crap, how is this zombie so strong?!"0
Just as he was feeling smug, a zombie with extremely strong explosive power lunged at him, knocking him straight to the ground.0
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, immediately teleporting away, narrowly avoiding being scratched by the zombie.0
He raised the fire hydrant and smashed down with all his might.0
"That's for knocking me down! Take that!"0
He smashed several times before finally killing that zombie.0
"Phew, was its head made of iron? It was so hard!"0
He grumbled, pouting.0
In contrast to his frantic struggle, Yun Xiaoxiao, Little Cutie, and Lu Chen were like fish in water, killing zombies with exhilarating ease.0
Moreover, Yun Xiaoxiao and Lu Chen worked together with remarkable tacit understanding.0
Whenever Yun Xiaoxiao noticed a zombie trying to sneak attack Lu Chen from behind, she would eliminate it in advance.0
Lu Chen did the same!0
They were like battle companions who had cooperated hundreds of times, always ensuring each other's safety.0
They didn't even use their supernatural abilities, yet managed to eliminate all the zombies outside in the shortest time possible.0
The three people and one scorpion turned to face the glass door of the pharmacy.0
Lu Chen walked to the glass door and looked at the other two.0
Yun Xiaoxiao and Nie Yizhou nodded in succession.0
Lu Chen understood immediately and pulled open the sliding door.0
The zombies that had been eyeing them fiercely immediately poured out!0
Their mouths were full of blood, their fangs terrifying, and their throats emitting low growls like they had phlegm stuck in them.0
One of the zombies reached for Lu Chen with extreme speed.0
Lu Chen smoothly and swiftly stabbed his knife into its head from left to right, and the zombie instantly went quiet.0
Lu Chen casually tossed it aside, then quickly raised his foot to kick another one.0
He directly kicked that zombie's head askew.0
The zombie was still growling with its neck twisted, and Lu Chen dispatched it with another knife strike.0
Yun Xiaoxiao frowned slightly as she looked at Zhang Fen, who had already turned into a zombie.0
So ugly!0
At this point, Zhang Fen's nose was gone, half of her mouth had been bitten off, and the bones on the right side of her face were exposed.0
Her entire face was bloody, a horrifying sight.0
She wandered among the zombies, her eyes white and bewildered.0
Upon seeing Yun Xiaoxiao, she instantly became like a ravenous beast, opening her half-mouth and howling as she charged over.0
She stretched out her thick hand, grabbing for Yun Xiaoxiao.0
Yun Xiaoxiao's lips tightened, and she raised her red-tasseled spear, thrusting it up through Zhang Fen's chin.0
The spear tip pierced through her entire head!0
Zhang Fen, now a zombie, let out a shrill scream before finally closing her eyes for good.0
"Oh geez, you've turned into a zombie and you're still chasing me!" Nie Yizhou cursed.0
Yun Xiaoxiao happened to look over.0
She saw Wang Quan, who had also turned into a zombie, chasing after Nie Yizhou.0
Nie Yizhou's fleeing appearance was... somewhat pathetic.0
But, quite funny.0
"Kid, you're laughing at me." Nie Yizhou gritted his teeth in anger.0
If his teleportation ability hadn't suddenly disappeared, would he be in such a miserable state?0
Wah wah wah... this treacherous ability, always failing at critical moments!0
Tired of it, not loving it anymore...0
Seeing Nie Yizhou truly in a pitiful state, Yun Xiaoxiao used her long spear to support herself on the ground, then flew sideways, executing a series of kicks to Wang Quan's back.0
Wang Quan was instantly kicked to the ground.0
"Hurry up and use your fire hydrant to smash it dead," Yun Xiaoxiao reminded.0
Nie Yizhou was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.0
"Haha, you're a good kid after all!"0
He raised the fire hydrant and smashed down hard.0
As he smashed, he cursed.0
"That's for chasing me. I'll smash you to death, see how you chase me now!"0
The three worked together and finally managed to eliminate all the zombies.0
A rough count put the number at around eighty or ninety.0
After the battle ended, Nie Yizhou collapsed on the ground.0
"Phew~ I'm exhausted~"0
This was his first time directly confronting zombies.0
It was tiring and dangerous, but surprisingly exhilarating.0
There was an exciting sensation of his whole body's muscles and bones opening up.0
Watching Yun Xiaoxiao and Little Cutie busy with the zombies' heads, Lu Chen's eyes flickered slightly.0
This little one seemed to be very familiar with his moves and fighting style.0
Moreover, she appeared to trust him unconditionally.0
Why?0
"What are you collecting those for?"0
Lu Chen walked up to Yun Xiaoxiao, initiating conversation for the first time.0
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smile, "Big brother, these are called crystal cores. With these, you can evolve your supernatural abilities and become stronger."0
"Crystal cores? Supernatural abilities?"0
"Yes, crystal cores are these things inside the zombies' heads, and supernatural abilities are like the lightning you used earlier."0
Listening to Yun Xiaoxiao's words, Lu Chen pondered.0
His gaze towards Yun Xiaoxiao became even more complex.0
How did such a five-year-old child know so much?0
And her skills were far superior to some people in his assassin organization.0
She felt like a complete mystery, unfathomable.0
However, he couldn't sense any wariness or hostility from her towards him.0
Well, if he couldn't figure it out, he might as well stop thinking about it.0
Lu Chen walked to a zombie's side and started looking for crystal cores in the zombie's head, imitating Yun Xiaoxiao.0
Seeing this, Yun Xiaoxiao advised, "Don't use your bare hands to take them, wrap them in something first."0
Finally, Lu Chen handed all the collected crystal cores to Yun Xiaoxiao.0
Yun Xiaoxiao was surprised, "All for me?"0
"Mm."0
Lu Chen didn't say anything more; his actions spoke for themselves.0
Yun Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, "Okay, I'll keep them for now."0
She directly accepted them and tossed the crystal cores into her space.0
A flash passed through Lu Chen's eyes.0
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled and explained, "I awakened a space supernatural ability, which allows me to store some things."0
She thought this explanation was reasonable.0
After the apocalypse, there were quite a few people with space abilities.0
Moreover, Nie Yizhou already knew that she had collected a large amount of supplies, so the fact that she had a space couldn't be hidden from him.0
There was even less need to hide it from big brother.0
Living together day and night, they would eventually know what they needed to know.0
Rather than letting them guess and be suspicious, it was better for her to be open about it.0
It would also make collecting supplies easier in the future.0
