Shen Xuanmo acted as if he didn’t see anything, he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Zhou Zhen watched Shen Xuanmo’s departing figure, his heart filled with doubt, always feeling that these two people had many secrets.
The teammate next to him leaned over and asked, “Captain, are you just letting them go like that? That kid has a lot of food in his bag.”
Zhou Zhen shook his head and said, “Everyone is living for themselves, we don’t cut off anyone’s path to survival.”
On the other side, Shen Xuanmo was taking Nan Qing away. “Nan Qing, you did well today.” Shen Xuanmo rubbed Nan Qing’s head.
Nan Qing grinned foolishly and took out a lollipop, handing it to Shen Xuanmo, “Aoo.”
“So generous?” Shen Xuanmo had just taken it when he suddenly heard movement outside. He stood up vigilantly, shielding Nan Qing behind him.
Just then, a low roar came from all around, and a group of Zombies surrounded them.
“Captain, Zombies are approaching!” Zhou Zhen’s team instantly became tense, and they took out their weapons one after another.
Shen Xuanmo shielded Nan Qing behind him even more tightly.
“Looks like we have to fight side by side.” Zhou Zhen shouted at Shen Xuanmo.
Shen Xuanmo frowned, originally not wanting to get involved, but with so many Zombies at this time, he couldn’t just look after himself.
So he said to Nan Qing in a low voice, “Nan Qing, hide here and don’t come out.”
“Aoo.” Nan Qing obediently hid in a corner where no one was.
The battle was about to break out. Zhou Zhen and others were surprised to find that Shen Xuanmo was very skilled and knew a lot about Zombies. Every attack could accurately hit the Zombies’ vitals.
Shen Xuanmo was multitasking, not only dealing with Zombies, but also paying attention to Nan Qing’s safety at all times.
Only when he saw that Nan Qing was okay did he dare to fight with all his might.
Shen Xuanmo didn’t use his ability throughout the entire process, not because he didn’t want to, but because the water-based ability didn’t do much damage.
His fingers gently slid over the blade, and the blade reflected a cold light, making people shudder.
One slash after another at the Zombies rushing towards him, handling it with ease.
“You don’t have an ability?” Zhou Zhen asked.
“Focus.” The blade brushed past Zhou Zhen, and Shen Xuanmo directly slashed at the Zombie covered in black liquid behind him.
“Thank you.” Zhou Zhen, who had reacted, didn’t expect that he would be saved by an ordinary person one day.
Shen Xuanmo didn’t respond, and charged into the Zombie crowd again. Although Zhou Zhen had doubts in his heart, he had no time to think about it at the moment, and could only focus on the battle in front of him.
As time passed, the number of Zombies gradually decreased, but everyone was exhausted.
Shen Xuanmo was panting heavily, his hair perhaps a little messy, the face that was both cold and noble now had a hint of fatigue.
But he still didn’t dare to relax, his eyes still staring at the remaining Zombies.
Suddenly, a Zombie and a person wrestled together, heading towards the corner where Nan Qing was.
“Nan Qing!” Shen Xuanmo shouted, his figure flashing past like lightning.
At the same time, Zhou Zhen emitted a green light from his hand, and several vines drilled out of the ground, binding the Zombie.
Shen Xuanmo threw the knife in his hand, hitting the center of its eyebrows, directly knocking the Zombie away and pinning it to the wall.
Shen Xuanmo picked up the frightened Nan Qing and looked at Zhou Zhen with a complicated expression, “Thank you.”
Zhou Zhen smiled, “Now is not the time to worry about these things, we have to leave here quickly, the commotion just now may attract more Zombies.”
“Moreover, you saved me just now.”
“Yeah.” Shen Xuanmo didn’t deny it.
“Let’s leave here together first.” Zhou Zhen looked at his embarrassed teammates and said worriedly.
Shen Xuanmo hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. So, one person and one zombie could only temporarily travel with them.
Compared to acting alone, cooperating with them was indeed more stable.
As for Nan Qing, as long as he wasn’t discovered, it would be fine.
It was just that Shen Xuanmo always held the boy tightly, making people curious.
Nan Qing was afraid of Zombies and also afraid of humans. This was the first time he had been with so many people, and he was extremely scared in his heart. The whole zombie was quiet, not daring to make a sound.
Zhou Zhen looked at them from time to time, secretly speculating about the origins of these two people, and why they appeared here.
Zhou Zhen walked towards Shen Xuanmo and said sincerely, “You are very powerful, are you really not considering joining us?”
Shen Xuanmo nodded slightly.
“I can temporarily travel with you.” Shen Xuanmo thought for a while and then spoke.
Zhou Zhen responded with a smile, “That’s great, as long as you’re willing to stay.” Although the others in the team were a little dissatisfied, they didn’t dare to say much.
After all, after the battle just now, the team’s strength had greatly decreased, and the Ability Users had almost exhausted their energy.
Shen Xuanmo showed great strength, and the most important thing was that he didn’t have an ability, but relied on his own strength to kill several Zombies. He was much stronger than an Ability User, and it was safer to have him around.
The group continued to move forward, looking for a safer stronghold. Nan Qing quietly raised his head and glanced at the surrounding humans, then quickly lowered his head and buried himself in Shen Xuanmo’s arms.
“Nan Qing, don’t be afraid.” Shen Xuanmo patted him gently to comfort him.
Nan Qing didn’t know why the caretaker wanted to be with these scary humans, but he trusted the caretaker.
When they reached an abandoned building, Zhou Zhen signaled to stop and rest.
“Let’s just rest here tonight. Old Zhang and Chen Hao will go to investigate the vicinity…”
“Yes, Team Leader Zhou.” After the two team members received their orders, they left to investigate the surrounding environment.
Nan Qing hid in Shen Xuanmo’s arms, listening to the voices of the scary humans, his body trembling.
He rubbed against Shen Xuanmo’s arms and “Aoo” softly. Shen Xuanmo gently stroked his head.
His brow furrowed slightly, “Nan Qing, it’s okay.” Saying that, he carried the little Zombie in the curious gazes of the crowd and went to a place far away from the crowd to put down his luggage and rest.
“Tch, what’s so great!”
“That’s right, just an ordinary person, doesn’t even have an ability…”
“The captain is too polite to them!”
Shen Xuanmo’s hearing was excellent, and he naturally heard the whispers of those people.
But he didn’t care, just focusing on taking care of Nan Qing. Nan Qing stretched out his small hand and tightly grabbed the corner of Shen Xuanmo’s clothes, his watery eyes full of dependence.
“Nan Qing, you were really great today!”
“Aoo.” Nan Qing responded happily.
“Look at how dirty your face is.” He used his ability to release some water on a clean handkerchief and wiped Nan Qing’s gray little face.
“Nan Qing is really good today, drink more.” Red blood flowed into: full and elastic lips, Shen Xuanmo’s mouth hung an unintentional smile, and at this moment he also felt extremely satisfied.
In the middle of the night, Old Zhang and others who went on patrol returned and confirmed that there were no Zombies around, and everyone tiredly began to fall asleep.
“Hello, this is what Team Leader Zhou asked me to send over.” Saying that, Old Zhang handed two crystal cores, one gray and one white, to Shen Xuanmo.
Shen Xuanmo took the crystal cores, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes. He knew these were Crystal Cores, but he really didn’t know what they were for.
Old Zhang explained, “The white one is a mid-rank Zombie Crystal Core, and the gray one is a low-rank Zombie Crystal Core, which is helpful for restoring the mental strength of Ability Users or further enhancing their abilities…”
Old Zhang wasn’t actually old at all, he was a twenty-seven-year-old young man. As for why everyone called him Old Zhang, it was because he spoke calmly and generously, with the tone of an old man.
“Although it may not be of much use to you, it’s still a good thing, so just take it.” Old Zhang said regretfully.
“Then thank Team Leader Zhou for me.”
After Shen Xuanmo thanked Old Zhang, he looked at the Crystal Cores in his hand thoughtfully.
