TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Easily Resolved

Chapter 158: Easily Resolved

Lost in thought, the front of the car slammed into something with a thud and bounced back, crashing heavily onto the ground. It should not have stopped so smoothly due to inertia, but it was held firmly and stabilized by four thick vines pulling it from all directions.

What they had just hit was a massive elastic net woven from vines. Now they really had to thank this dense forest; if it weren’t for the abundant trees everywhere, these unanchored vines wouldn’t have been able to suspend in the air and pull them back.

The moment the car stopped, countless zombie monsters swarmed it, covering the small vehicle with zombies.

Gu Tangxi, whose internal organs felt like they’d been tossed in a wok and stir-fried several times from the jolting, focused her eyes after the car stabilized. Ahead was a broken bridge, the elevated bridge completely blown apart.

It wasn’t hard to imagine what had happened. A group of people, chased to this point by those zombies, must have destroyed the only passage after crossing the bridge to cut off the pursuit.

Leaving absolutely no way out for those who came after!

It wasn’t their fault. In that situation, if those people had thought about leaving a way out for others, they wouldn’t have survived. Gu Tangxi had also done similar things like blowing up roads to sever pursuit; she could understand it.

Understanding was one thing, but Gu Tangxi still couldn’t help but hurl abuse while throwing skills to attack the zombies, “Damn it, these dead monsters, no wonder they let us drive forward all the time, they were waiting for us here! There’s no road ahead, they knew we couldn’t escape their grasp.”

Who knows how many passersby were blocked here and fed to the zombies. No wonder those zombies were of considerable level. Being trapped in this dead end by a group of Level Two and Level Three zombies made it hard to survive; either be eaten to the bone by the zombies, or fall into the abyss and have your body smashed to pieces. Just different ways to die.

Speaking of which, weren’t those zombies’ brains completely eaten away? They even knew how to lure people in to kill them. Could there really be a hidden master giving orders?

Xie YunChuan unleashed his power, and countless ice blades shot out from all around the car, clearing away the zombies clinging to it. He said coldly, “Since we can’t escape, then let’s just kill them all.”

After getting out of the car, his feet touched solid ground, and his body was exposed to the cold air. Xie YunChuan flicked his hand, and an ice spike pierced straight into the brain of a Level Two zombie that was flying towards him. The zombie immediately lost all movement and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Xie YunChuan snorted coldly; he wanted to see if he could get a Level Four or Five Crystal Core from this group of monsters.

Xie YunChuan stood in front of everyone, while the combat-ineffective Gu Tangyue was closely protected behind him. Dozens of Level Two zombies swarmed forward. Xie YunChuan neither blocked nor dodged. Only when the zombies were within three meters of him, countless vines wove together into a huge cage. It wasn’t to block the zombies’ attacks, but to surround the zombies and Xie YunChuan and the others in a space of a few square meters, completely cutting off the retreat of these incredibly fast zombies.

Up until now, Xie YunChuan hadn’t solved all the zombies with one blow, but instead allowed Gu Tangxi and Xu Yuzhe, these two Level Three ability users, to grind them down. He was only responsible for protecting Gu Tangyue, solving the fearless ones who were like moths to a flame with a slight movement of his fingers when zombies attacked them.

Being closely protected behind Xie YunChuan, Gu Tangyue was a little distracted. Seeing Xie YunChuan easily pierce the heads of these zombies that Gu Tangxi and the others struggled to deal with with a flick of his hand, Gu Tangyue inappropriately began to daydream.

How wonderful would it be to have someone love me and protect me like this!

Even when trapped in a narrow space that was difficult to escape from, Gu Tangxi and the others expended a lot of energy solving these zombies, and their abilities were almost exhausted.

Throughout this entire hunt, those Level Three zombies had been watching. In the world of zombies, they followed the true law of the jungle, without scruples, the strong were respected, and everything was only for strengthening oneself. These zombies’ brains and thinking seemed to maintain a certain level of intelligence. They intimidated and commanded these weaker Level Two zombies to come and die, to consume the ability users’ powers. They would become the final harvesters.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated this time. There was still an ability user here who maintained peak combat power and whose level far exceeded theirs.

Level Three zombies, moving so fast that even afterimages couldn’t be seen, rushed towards Xie YunChuan and the others accompanied by whooshing sounds of air being torn apart.

Xie YunChuan took a half-step forward with his left foot, heavily stomping on the ground as if with a weight of a thousand pounds. Countless icy cold energies poured from under his feet into the ground and spread within a radius of dozens of meters, rising up and forming a domain—Ice Soul Cold Seal. It was perfect for dealing with these agile zombies who had abnormal speeds but ordinary attack power.

Except for the few people at the center of the cold domain who were unaffected, the surrounding area seemed to have even the air stagnate. A fallen leaf that inadvertently floated into this territory was frozen with a layer of frost covering its surface and suspended in mid-air the instant it touched the boundary. The figures of those zombies that had scraped into the cold domain like a gust of wind instantly became clearly visible.

“Within the Cold Seal, I am supreme, explode!”

With a roar, countless ice spikes instantly burst out from within the bodies of the intruding zombies, like ice-crystal-colored echinopsis chamaecereus. Seeing this, the few zombies who were half a step slower turned around and fled. Xie YunChuan moved his body, and the power of the cold domain instantly retracted. That suspended withered leaf finally fell, but it was scattered with ice cracking.

Before those zombies could escape far, Xie YunChuan flashed to them like a ghost. Several icy cold rays pierced through the dim light, dazzling the eyes. The zombies scattered and fled were all killed by Xie YunChuan alone.

After landing, Xie YunChuan slowly walked back, muttering to himself, “It seems I was overthinking it; there aren’t any zombies here worth worrying about.”

In the ten-odd seconds, the three people who were standing there were stunned, and didn’t even have time to blink. “It’s over?” Gu Tangxi asked incredulously, rubbing her eyes. Her eyes weren’t too sore, because she hadn’t been staring wide-eyed for long.

Xu Yuzhe lightly answered, “It’s over.” Like his ethereal voice, his entire person was ethereal, without a firm footing.

Gu Tangxi blinked, “Then what was our desperate escape just now?”

Gu Tangyue blankly replied, “It means we have good legs.”

Xu Yuzhe murmured, “Is this the power of a Level Five ability?”

Gu Tangxi said, “I don’t know, it could also be the superposition of the three-element buff.”

Xie YunChuan squatted in front of the scattered corpses with a solemn expression, examining something. Gu Tangxi and the others approached, and Gu Tangxi asked, “Is there a problem?”

Gu Tangxi didn’t understand. They were all dead. What was there to frown about while facing a pile of corpses? Could he be mourning? Forget it. In the apocalypse, even if hundreds or thousands of people die, not necessarily someone will stop for that, let alone a group of monsters mutated into zombies.

“These aren’t human corpses.” Xu Yuzhe, who followed and squatted down to examine, gave the problem in a calm voice.

Gu Tangxi didn’t react for a moment, “Aren’t you talking nonsense? Did we kill people?” Aren’t these the corpses of zombies? Of course, they aren’t people.
