With the blessing of [Future Reading], Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue had already managed to leap out of the car as it was spinning, doing so in a way that minimized their injuries.
However, due to the massive inertia, even though they escaped the car, they still rolled several times on the ground, both getting thoroughly disoriented.
Wu Di and Ji Mengyao weren't as fortunate.
Ji Mengyao, who had been in the driver's seat, was now unconscious and covered in blood, trapped upside down in the car.
Wu Di had managed to protect his head well, and although his body had taken the impact, he remarkably remained conscious, displaying an unusually high resistance to damage.
Despite being suspended upside down, his strength remained immense. He smashed open the car door with two punches and made his way to the front door.
"Mengyao!"
With one hand, he ripped open the SUV's front door and pulled Ji Mengyao out. She appeared to have lost consciousness from blood loss.
She had multiple wounds across her body, and there were certainly broken bones inside.
Without hesitation, Wu Di twisted both hands and snapped Ji Mengyao's neck.
Within 10 seconds, Ji Mengyao's injuries began healing at a visible rate.
She suddenly opened her eyes and, seeing the familiar face of Wu Di, knew he had 'rebooted' her.
"Damn, my head hurts!"
She clutched her head, as the hallucination side effects from earlier still lingered.
Having just used [Death Resistance] again, the side effects seemed to have intensified.
But the situation was too dire to worry about such things.
Now that the SUV was destroyed, they had lost their means of escape.
Ji Mengyao struggled to her feet with Wu Di's support.
The massive figure of Rage was approaching again, wielding a steel bar, its face contorted into an ugly sneer.
It knew these flies had nowhere left to run.
Nearby, Ning Yu struggled to her feet. The baseball cap Ji Mengyao had given her earlier had disappeared somewhere.
Her twin tails had completely come undone, her silver hair now hanging loose, giving her a rather disheveled appearance.
She managed to stand up and ran to help Shen Yiyue:
"Are you alright?"
Shen Yiyue was also covered in dirt from the fall, but her condition was better than Ji Mengyao who had been trapped in the car. She coughed lightly and said:
"I'm fine..."
Then she stood up, having only suffered some scrapes.
With nowhere left to run, Ning Yu's heart sank slightly, realizing it was time to stop being stingy with points.
She immediately used her half-price purchase opportunity:
[RPG-7 Rocket Launcher: Points *9999]
After the discount, it only cost 4999 points, with the system thoughtfully removing the decimal point.
She quickly scrolled through the store pages:
[TBG-7V Thermobaric Warhead *1: Points *5000]
There was no half-price opportunity for this one, so she had to pay full price given the urgency.
She chose not to buy the 2000-point shaped charge warhead, commonly known as the armor-piercing round, fearing it wouldn't be powerful enough.
She hoped one thermobaric warhead would be enough to kill this mountain of flesh and recover the ten thousand points she'd lost.
She quickly pulled the RPG from her system space and attached the thermobaric warhead - this single shot cost 5000 points.
Shen Yiyue only then noticed the silver-haired little girl suddenly producing a rocket launcher, nearly dropping her jaw in shock.
Although Doraemon Yu often pulled out amazing things, seeing her produce a weapon she'd only seen in movies was still quite shocking.
Even in her previous life, Ning Yu rarely used such things - she was an assassin, not a mercenary, and didn't fight on battlefields.
Situations requiring this kind of physical transcendence of others were quite rare.
"You two, get out of the way!"
Ning Yu shouted at Ji Mengyao and Wu Di in front of her. They both turned around and hurriedly retreated toward her.
"Holy shit! Where did you get that thing!"
Ji Mengyao couldn't help but curse as she ran.
Anyone who saw a little girl wielding an RPG would probably find it hard to suppress such an exclamation.
"Sister Yue, come here."
Ning Yu suddenly thought of something and called Shen Yiyue over.
"Hold my hands and use your ability to control the direction. I only have one shot, so it must hit - aim for the head."
Ning Yu's copied version of [Future Reading] didn't have the guaranteed hit ability.
Although Rage's bulk made it hard to miss, with only one shot, they needed to be careful.
Since Shen Yiyue didn't know how to operate it, Ning Yu had to set it up herself while Shen Yiyue used [Future Reading] to control the direction.
Not far away, Rage had already sensed some kind of threat and was charging toward them faster, its footsteps making the overturned SUV shake with each step.
"Now!"
Ning Yu whispered in her ear, and Shen Yiyue's mind immediately filled with reversed images of Rage being hit by the explosion as [Future Reading] activated.
Ning Yu's hands holding the RPG-7 began moving under Shen Yiyue's guidance, their hands tightly clasped together.
What was meant to be a single-person weapon was now being operated by two girls in close proximity.
"Boom!"
A bright flash of light passed before them, and the RPG spewed large amounts of gray smoke from its rear.
The thermobaric warhead shot out from the launcher, flying toward Rage's body.
After flying some distance, the warhead underwent its secondary acceleration, the flame at its tail growing brighter, leaving a trail of gray smoke in the air.
It was this acceleration that allowed it to dodge the steel bar Rage had swung, foiling its plan to knock away the unknown projectile.
"BOOM!!!!"
The thermobaric warhead hit Rage squarely in the head, erupting in an intense flash of light!
Orange-red flames completely engulfed its upper body, turning it into a firework display.
The temperature at the center reached 2500 degrees Celsius, hot enough to easily melt even alloy steel.
Moreover, the explosive cloud created a seven to eight-meter diameter zone of high temperature around its head, preventing it from even screaming.
Beyond the devastating blast, it had to endure both extreme heat and overpressure, while all oxygen in its vicinity was completely consumed.
Though whether these zombies needed oxygen to survive was still a mystery.
The group, being relatively close, was left with ringing ears from the powerful explosion.
"Damn, what other weapons of mass destruction can you pull out??"
Ji Mengyao watched with wide eyes - she was used to seeing chainsaws being used on zombies, but never an RPG.
However, Ning Yu's expression remained grave, not answering Ji Mengyao's question.
Because she hadn't heard the system's task completion notification, which meant:
This mountain of flesh wasn't dead yet.
As the smoke quickly cleared, the ground nearby was covered in shattered flesh, clearly from Rage's body.
Ning Yu finally saw the situation clearly, her pupils contracting.
The others also drew in sharp breaths.
Rage's body was completely charred black, its mountain-like upper body completely destroyed - it looked as dead as could be.
However, from its lower body, countless flesh buds were twisting and coiling like bamboo shoots after rain, beginning to regenerate at a disgustingly rapid pace.
This blast hadn't completely killed it, and like the Glutton, it could regenerate its body!
Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.
