Chapter 52: Haunted

Inside the city, Xie YunChuan swept through everything. No wonder he walked so brazenly. Before the zombies could even pounce, he lightly waved his hand, sending a wave of ice shards flying, felling a large group. He truly possessed the aura of aMòshì – End of the world/Doomsday king.

Gu Tangxi clicked her tongue silently. *Wow, he’s like a Peashooter from Plants vs. Zombies, biu~biu, and their heads fall off.*

She obediently followed behind him, having nothing to do.

They walked unimpeded to the building Xie YunChuan had pointed out earlier. Gu Tangxi asked in confusion, “Why are they gathered here?”

Xie YunChuan: “Fate!”

“Huh~? What the hell?” *If you don’t know, just say you don’t know. What is fate? Are a bunch of zombies getting together to make friends and fall in love?*

“Once we go in, fight as much as you can. Don’t worry about me. Just protect yourself.”

“Big brother, I can ignore you, but you can’t ignore me!” Gu Tangxi wasn’t confident she could protect herself from the mouths of twenty-odd low-level zombies.

Xie YunChuan was baffled. “Did I say I wouldn’t take care of you?”

Gu Tangxi chuckled. “No, no. Thank you,dàlǎo – powerful figure, this little one relies on you.”

She didn’t dare speak, but mentally ranted. *’Did I say I wouldn’t take care of you? ,ma – question particle!’ Don’t you know what you’re implying? Is there any difference between your words and telling me to fend for myself and not bother you?*

The moment they stepped through the door, it was as if they had entered someone’s territory. At the same time, a behemoth lurking in the shadows suddenly opened its blood-red, ferocious eyes, its dark and eerie gaze revealing a bloodthirsty amusement.

*Two delicious little darlings have arrived.*

At the same time, Xie YunChuan’s expression darkened. An endless storm brewed in his black pupils. He calmly said to Gu Tangxi, “Now you might really have to take care of yourself. Train a bit, push your potential to the limit. If you really can’t win, save your life and go find White Tiger Cub.”

Gu Tangxi, plus the White Tiger Cub, against a few low-level zombies—he believed they could handle it.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but be glad that he hadn’t brought Luo Shuyou. He had noticed long ago that compared toyì néng zhě – ability user, Luo Shuyou was clearly more attractive to these evolved zombies.

Gu Tangxi was completely bewildered, panicking, “What do you mean? You’re not really going to abandon me, are you?”

Xie YunChuan silently raised his head, staring in a certain direction on the roof, as if making eye contact with it from afar. Both sides felt each other’s gaze.

The lurking zombie narrowed its evil eyes, evaluating Xie YunChuan: *A valuable fellow!*

Xie YunChuan slowly said, “There’s a big guy in here. I can only try to keep it from endangering you.”

“Big guy? Is it too late to run?” *What kind of thing could make Xie YunChuan so tense and be called a big guy? Crap, running away is the best option. Why are we even discussing it? Why aren’t we running already?*

“It’s too late.”

Gu Tangxi followed his gaze. She only saw a huge black shadow flying out of the darkness. Before she could see its full appearance, the thing darted left and right, instantly moving in front of them.

The moment she clearly saw a mountain of flesh pouncing toward them, Xie YunChuan had already reacted quickly, raising a ten-foot-high thick ice wall to block it. While Gu Tangxi was stunned, Xie YunChuan himself jumped away, not forgetting to pull her along with a vine.

The several-foot-thick ice wall couldn’t withstand the zombie’s casual punch. The sound of violent shattering rang in her ears. As shards of ice, sharp enough to cut skin, crashed crisply against the door and walls, Gu Tangxi fleetingly saw the Grim Reaper waving at her.

Xie YunChuan took a sliding step to steady himself, held onto the vine, pulled Gu Tangxi over, and quickly instructed, “Get away from here, and be careful of the other low-level zombies in this building. Don’t try to go out the front door, that will attract it to attack you, and I might not be able to block it for you.”

This meant Gu Tangxi should run upstairs to find another way out.

Facing imminent disaster, Gu Tangxi flew away on her own. She flashed upstairs. Compared to the ugly mountain of flesh in front of her, she now felt that the twenty-odd low-level zombies were small cases. She didn’t care at all!

*Hopefully, she’ll still feel that way later.*

The mountain-of-flesh zombie didn’t care about the little sparrow that had flown away. Clearly, Xie YunChuan was the main course. However, that little sparrow could fill the gaps in its reserves.

It raised its head and roared, seemingly emitting some kind of message that Xie YunChuan and the others couldn’t understand. However, Xie YunChuan felt that the previously calm low-level zombies were beginning to stir and surge in one direction, which was exactly where Gu Tangxi was.

Xie YunChuan frowned. Things were developing in the direction he least wanted to see. This zombie possessed a vague consciousness, and it was controlling the activities of the low-level zombies.

He wondered if all evolved high-level zombies would gradually develop consciousness and intelligence, or if only certain zombies that evolved in a special mental direction had this ability.

Xie YunChuan hoped it was the latter.

Whether or not they could eat meat after roaring depended on the strength of those reserves. As for the mountain-of-flesh zombie, it slammed its sandbag-sized fists together twice. It was going to smash the delicious meal in front of it flat and swallow it.

Facing an opponent of vastly different size, Xie YunChuan calmly analyzed its weaknesses while flexibly dodging attacks. After his ability upgraded, his accompanying vines became much thicker and stronger, capable of summoning a number comparable to a small forest at once.

However, it was useless. It couldn’t control this big club at all. No matter how thick or numerous the vines were, they would be snapped in a few seconds when tied to its body.

Xie YunChuan hadn’t yet figured out other uses for his wood-type ability. He knew it definitely wasn’t limited to this. Every time, he encountered enemies he couldn’t handle before he was ready.

Opportunities are for those who are prepared, and crises are for those who are not. Perhaps this is the life of the protagonist being spurred on.

Xie YunChuan discovered that covering the vines with a layer of ice blades not only increased the sharpness of the vines but also improved the flexibility of the ice blades, making them less likely to break.

Using this, he turned them into blades that could cut through iron like mud, unleashing a dazzling flurry of slashes. He retreated, raised his eyes to look, *damn it, completely undamaged!* He was sure that every strike had cut off flesh, but there was no minced meat on the ground, and the zombie wasn’t missing any weight.

*Was he encountering a ghost?*
