Fang Yuyang freed a hand and released a Wind Blade that sliced through the zombie’s skull, then scooped up the Crystal Core inside and delivered it to his own hand. With his move, everyone else was not to be outdone. In order to save bullets, the dense gunfire came to a halt, and everyone used their own abilities to harvest the remaining zombies and extract the Crystal Cores.
The zombies trapped in the swamp were all Basic-level Zombies with weak abilities, plus a small number of Level 1 Zombies. Their strength was not high to begin with, and being trapped in the swamp, they had no chance of escape. Moreover, because all the zombies were struggling, they made the swamp even more chaotic, sinking deeper and eliminating any possibility of escape.
Once Fang Yuxin and the others took action, it took less than ten minutes to kill off all the remaining zombies in the swamp, and all the Crystal Cores were extracted.
Fang Jintang then made a move again, and the swamp began to churn, lifting all the zombies out before reverting back to the appearance of land, leaving the zombies’ corpses piled on the earth.
Having finished this, he was covered in a fine layer of sweat and his complexion was slightly pale. Qu Qianhe, looking concerned, took a wet wipe from her waist pouch to wipe the sweat from his face and admonished him in a low voice, "Look how tired you are! You’re not allowed to overexert yourself next time!"
"I’m fine," Fang Jintang smiled happily, taking Qu Qianhe’s hand and giving it a gentle squeeze, "Don’t worry about me."
Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang were also worried about Fang Jintang overexerting himself and were looking at him with concern. Seeing this scene, they swallowed the words at the tip of their tongues and looked away as if they had seen nothing.
The others noticed as well and hastily turned their gazes away, unsure of where to look next in their embarrassment.
Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang were definitely not of the same generation as the rest of them, straddling the line between peers and elders, and they had no qualms about showing affection in public, causing embarrassment for the younger crowd!
But in truth, although they were a generation apart, they looked very young, only appearing to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, and they didn’t look much older than the rest. It felt odd to call them elders.
Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang were not unfeeling and had particularly keen perceptions, soon noticing the awkwardness of everyone around them. Fang Jintang’s face flushed slightly, feeling embarrassed by these juniors.
On the contrary, Qu Qianhe was not bothered at all. Her gaze swept over everyone’s faces one by one, increasing their discomfort. Then, she started to form hand seals, casting a basketball-sized flame onto the zombie corpses. Though the flame was only as big as a basketball, it spread instantly upon contact, creating a sea of fire that engulfed all the zombies.
With that, everyone immediately became serious and strode back onto the highway. The cars on the road had not yet been cleared, so the three Power Superpower Users continued to move the remaining vehicles aside, throwing them to the roadside. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
After clearing the road, everyone got back into their vehicles and continued traveling.
Presumably, the tens of thousands of zombies they had just killed represented all the zombies in the vicinity. After they were eliminated, they didn’t encounter any more zombies for a while. The occasional abandoned vehicles on the road, however, were troublesome and took up a lot of time to clear.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer abandoned vehicles on the road, and ahead, human figures appeared.
"What’s going on? Why are there people ahead?" Bai Ye frowned, squinting his eyes and infusing True Qi into them, trying to see clearly what was in front.
The others had also noticed the situation. Fang Yuxin and Bai Qian had sent their Spiritual Sense far ahead. Then they "saw" a group of twenty people setting up a roadblock ahead.
All twenty were armed with weapons, including five with guns and the remaining fifteen with either knives or iron rods—clearly a formidable bunch. The roadblock in the middle of the road was made of chopped-down trees, resembling ancient caltrops, just more menacing. (To be continued.
