"What about his truck?"
Ning Yu pointed at Wan Heng's corpse, raising a practical question.
"Not sure what he came to transport, but that's failed now. Let's drive the truck back anyway."
Ji Mengyao replied, saying to Ning Yu:
"Let's take his truck back together, and you keep driving the SUV."
"No problem."
Ning Yu nodded, then pointed at the Lust zombie's corpse on the ground:
"Aren't we collecting the preliminary purified T-virus?"
"Almost forgot about that!"
Ji Mengyao slapped her forehead and took out the familiar syringe. As she walked, she complained:
"We've never encountered this kind of mutant zombie before. Can't believe it could create illusions and mental interference."
"Good thing you were here today..."
She crouched down and inserted the syringe, beginning the extraction process.
"By the way, how did you break free from that illusion? When I came to, it seemed like you had already killed it."
"Secret."
Ning Yu didn't want to tell her that she had seen a crowd of handsome men with perfect abs.
Ji Mengyao pursed her lips but said nothing. Everyone had their secrets, including her.
After finishing the purification, just like when they killed The Greedy One, she put the liquid into two vials and handed them to Ning Yu:
"Here, they belong to you."
The Lust zombie was killed by Ning Yu alone while everyone else was still trapped in the illusion.
So Ning Yu accepted without being polite. She could secretly give one vial of the preliminary purified virus to Lin Hao.
Ning Yu glanced at her points: 13,980.
Although she had spent some points buying cigarettes to increase Ji Mengyao's favorability, the 4,000 points from killing the Lust zombie had made up for a lot.
Besides, spending points to get three lives with renewable uses was absolutely worth it.
She had also received a 50% discount opportunity from killing the Lust zombie. She could carefully consider what to exchange it for.
The group carried Wan Heng's corpse out of the hotel and re-entered the industrial park.
Just as they passed through the industrial park's gate, Ning Yu sensed something was wrong:
All the remaining scattered zombies in the park had vanished.
The industrial park had long ceased operations, and with all zombie sounds now gone, the silence was terrifying.
Occasionally, a desolate wind would blow past, stirring up dust from the ground.
"Do you feel the ground shaking?"
Ji Mengyao looked around puzzled but couldn't find anything.
"Look there."
Ning Yu pointed to a puddle nearby where ripples were converging toward the center.
Her pupils suddenly contracted, and she immediately activated [Future Reading].
"Watch out!"
She violently pushed Shen Yiyue away as a huge piece of scrap metal flew past at incredible speed with overwhelming force.
The metal appeared to be torn from the surrounding towers, with its reinforcing bars twisted and distorted.
Ning Yu, who had just finished shouting, barely dodged the massive piece of metal.
Ji Mengyao heard Ning Yu's warning and rolled to the side with Wu Di.
"Clang!!"
The metal crashed into the ground with a teeth-grinding sound, creating sparks as it scraped across the floor.
Shen Yiyue, who had been pushed away by Ning Yu, quickly recovered and activated [Future Reading] as well.
What kind of thing could this be?!
Ning Yu was shocked - how much terrifying strength would it take to throw something so heavy?
She immediately used her detection ability:
[Detected: Wrath (Mid-tier)]
[Position: 12 o'clock direction, approximately 350 meters, vertical height difference 2 meters]
[Intelligence: Symbolizes irrational anger and hatred towards others. Possesses an enormous, hard body and unmatched strength. Likes to crush and smash its prey.]
[Weakness: ??? (Skill must be upgraded to high-tier to view)]
A mid-tier mutant zombie - how did it appear here?
As everyone got up from the ground and raised their heads, they saw a massive creature:
Its body was probably as tall as a three or four-story building, shaped like a giant gorilla.
All its muscles were twisted and swollen to frightening proportions, making it look like a monster made of pure muscle.
In comparison, its head seemed smaller, not even as thick as its arms.
The muscles on its back were the most exaggerated, rising like small mountains, even higher than its head.
Its terrifying, ferocious face showed clenched teeth and blood-red eyes, as if it had spotted mortal enemies.
On its bald head, various bulging veins pulsed rhythmically as it moved.
"ROAR!!!!!!"
It let out an ear-splitting roar, spraying foul-smelling saliva onto the ground.
Everyone covered their ears from the sound, staring in horror at this monster they had never seen before.
What kind of twisted virus could create such a terrifying beast?!
"I'll distract it, you guys go get the car!"
Ning Yu was the first to react, calling out to the other three.
She raised her silver crossbow, ready to shoot arrows to provoke the giant creature.
With [Future Reading] active, she could achieve nearly 100% dodge rate as long as she didn't overuse it.
Plus, she had just copied [Death Resistance] with three lives.
Among everyone present, Ning Yu was the most capable of handling this situation.
"No! Xiao Yu..."
Shen Yiyue panicked upon hearing this, shaking her head with wide eyes, afraid of Ning Yu being in such danger.
Ning Yu just gave her a confident and calm look:
"Be good, listen to me."
Shen Yiyue stopped at seeing Ning Yu's expression.
She held back her remaining words, knowing that arguing would only waste time.
She needed to trust Ning Yu.
"Go quickly!"
Shen Yiyue shouted to Ji Mengyao and Wu Di, who had also wanted to say they couldn't let Ning Yu face this alone.
But in the current situation, every second of hesitation would waste Ning Yu's good intentions.
The three immediately sprinted to the side, heading for the nearby SUV to escape.
As for the truck and Wan Heng's corpse, there was no time to worry about them now.
Ning Yu took the handgun Shen Yiyue passed to her. As Shen Yiyue passed by, her eyes flickered, and she said in an almost pleading voice:
"Don't you dare die."
Ning Yu smiled and nodded, giving her a reassuring look.
Then she charged forward and jumped onto a tower building, shooting another arrow at the Wrath zombie that was already charging towards them.
Meanwhile, Shen Yiyue and the other two had started moving along the side, avoiding the Wrath's attack path as they headed toward where they had parked.
The shot arrow was swatted away like a fly by the Wrath's hand.
But this action went exactly as Ning Yu had planned, successfully drawing its attention to herself.
Ning Yu whistled at it, and like Ji Mengyao, turned her baseball cap backward to enter cool girl mode.
She made an internationally recognized gesture at the Wrath and taunted:
"Come on, let's play hide and seek~"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
