Chapter 178 Seventh-Level Ability User

Chapter 178 Seventh-Level Ability User

“Among them, there is a seventh-level ability user.” Where others couldn’t see, a dark glint flashed in Luo Shuyou’s eyes as he whispered.

Although Luo Shuyou was overprotected by Xie YunChuan and Luo WuShang, he wasn’t stupid. On the contrary, he was quite clever. He had the ability to kill that seventh-level ability user now, but there was no need. A seventh-level ability user suddenly appearing near Li City, killing him for no apparent reason, would likely bring trouble upon themselves.

“Seventh-level!”

“Seventh-level!”

Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue exclaimed simultaneously, hurriedly covering their mouths and gasping. It wasn’t that they were making a fuss, but they had never even heard of a seventh-level ability user anywhere, and now they had suddenly stumbled upon one?

Xie YunChuan and Xu Yuze were also secretly shocked. They had expected that Li City would be full of hidden talents, but they didn’t expect that someone would be a seventh-level ability user right off the bat. It seemed that Li City was much stronger than they had anticipated.

Gu Tangxi asked in surprise, “A seventh-level ability user can’t even beat those things? What the hell are they?”

Xie YunChuan said, “The things they are fighting aren’t too strong.” This was also what puzzled Xie YunChuan. He had just sensed that the highest level of those monsters was only fifth-level, and although there were a lot of them, they shouldn’t have been able to force a team led by a seventh-level expert to retreat in such a defeated manner.

Luo Shuyou said, “He is severely injured.” He was probably injured by something else before, which was why he was being chased so pathetically by these few fourth and fifth-level zombies.

The person outside was still weakly moving his lips, calling for help. Gu Tangxi looked at Xie YunChuan and asked, “So, are we going to save him or not?” If they were going to save him, they shouldn’t dawdle any longer. If the person outside died, what was the point of saving him?

Xie YunChuan looked at Luo Shuyou, and Luo Shuyou said, “You decide.”

So Xie YunChuan pondered for a moment and said, “Save him.” If they were people from those families, they might even be able to gain some favor.

“Don’t take action. Just say that you are a healing ability user to the outside world.” Xie YunChuan instructed Luo Shuyou, who was about to go out with him.

Luo Shuyou blinked and nodded, “Okay, I’ll just watch.”

Xie YunChuan led Luo Shuyou out first, followed closely by Xu Yuze. Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue stopped at the entrance of the cave. The two of them worked together to carry the person lying at the entrance into the cave. With the wind and snow blowing, they would become stiff if they continued to lie there.

They placed her on a dry, sheltered stone ledge. Gu Tangxi shook her hands and said, “She looks small and delicate, how can she be so heavy?”

Wu Zixiao, who was barely clinging to consciousness, lifted her heavy eyelids weakly and said, “I’m… I’m sorry, thank you… thank you.”

Gu Tangyue was a little embarrassed and quickly said, “It’s okay, it’s okay, oh… I didn’t mean to say you were fat, it’s just that I don’t have any strength in my hands.” She thought this person had already fainted, but she didn’t expect that her complaint had been heard directly.

A gentle smile appeared on Wu Zixiao’s pale face as she breathed heavily and said, “It’s… it’s okay, being fat is… a blessing, it’s just… it’s just a burden on you.”

Before the end of the world, saying that a girl was fat would undoubtedly attract hatred, but in this end of the world where starvation was everywhere, being fat was really a great blessing. At least, people who couldn’t eat enough, didn’t have warm clothes, and were constantly worried and battered by the elements couldn’t gain weight.

Gu Tangxi said, “Don’t listen to her nonsense. You’re not fat or thin, just right, very good looking. Stop talking, save some energy.”

“Thank… thank you!” After saying that, Wu Zixiao closed her eyes, not knowing whether she was resting or had really fainted.

Gu Tangxi stayed here to watch over them. In this dark place, there was nothing else to do. Gu Tangyue, shivering from the cold, hugged Gu Tangxi tightly as a large warm baby.

For a long time, apart from the occasional sounds of fighting coming from outside, the cold and quiet cave was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Gu Tangyue leaned close to Gu Tangxi’s ear and said, “She won’t freeze to death, will she?” She had suffered such serious injuries, and was lying on this cold stone slab in the heavy snow. She hadn’t moved for a long time, so it wouldn’t be surprising if she died.

Gu Tangxi said, “No, the bodies of ability users aren’t that fragile. You have the nerve to say that, why didn’t you get some clothes to pad and cover her with if you were afraid she would die?”

Gu Tangyue whispered, “You have the nerve to say that, these clothes of mine are consumables, okay? I’m out in the wind and rain every day, fighting all the time, and I have one less for every one I use. Who knows how long this winter will last? Why would I waste these things on a stranger? You’re not afraid of freezing to death, but I am!”

“Then why didn’t you collect more in the first place? No one wanted those things, there were plenty of them in any shopping mall.”

“Isn’t it because the space was small at the beginning? I had so many things to pack, how could I casually take up space.”

“Then how big is your space now?”

When Gu Tangyue talked about this, she perked up and said triumphantly, “It’s huge. Since I was promoted to the second level, I don’t care about space occupancy anymore. I pack whatever I see, I pack whatever I want.”

Gu Tangxi asked, “You should be close to leveling up to the third level, right?”

Gu Tangyue said, “Yeah, another fourth or fifth-level Jīngpò to break through and it should be enough.”

Gu Tangxi patted the hand that was hugging her, and praised, “Well… not bad, not bad.”

……

Xie YunChuan and the others followed the traces of the fight. At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and they could vaguely see two white-clad men and women fighting with a dozen or twenty zombies. The woman was a fifth-level wind ability user. Then, the seventh-level ability user was the man. Xie YunChuan narrowed his eyes slightly. As luck would have it, he was an ice ability user. The two of them looked like they were already exhausted, but were just desperately holding on.

Xie YunChuan took action to lure a few leading fifth-level zombies over to solve them, while Xu Yuze joined the two of them to solve the rest.

These zombies were exactly the kind of monkey-like animals that had been infected and mutated that Xie YunChuan and the others had encountered before. Speed and agility seemed to be common characteristics of these mutated zombie monsters.

It took Xie YunChuan a lot of time to deal with these fifth-level zombies, but he didn’t suffer any injuries. It was just that these things had a bit of brains and were surprisingly fast, making them difficult to easily capture and kill.

Luo Shuyou stood quietly to the side and watched the battle, not revealing any aura of ability. He watched with great interest. The things seemed to be uninterested in him, and not a single one ran up to him to show its presence.
