Chapter 374 Zombie Tide (2 in 1)
However, just as Xiao Jin was about to chop off the zombie's calf, the zombie's attack came like a storm.
Its large palm, like a palm leaf, slapped down fiercely with a whistling sound, as if it wanted to beat Xiao Jin into a pulp in an instant.
Xiao Jin's eyes shone, and she had no choice but to withdraw her attack and roll over to dodge. After getting up, she jumped backwards without hesitation.
As he raised his hand, three extremely sharp sword beams shot up into the sky, like three purple dragons, and instantly rushed towards the zombies.
The blade light drew dazzling tracks in the air, accompanied by a whistling sound that tore through the air.
Then, the blade hit the zombie's iron-hard body heavily, making a loud 'bang' sound.
The zombie's huge body was like a fallen leaf blown by a strong wind. It was blown dozens of meters away and finally smashed into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Duan Ziyue above was stunned, his mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in it.
Her eyes were wide open, filled with shock and disbelief.
Wait...am I really not dreaming?
Zombies, the end of the world, black rain, and the little brother in front of me, they should all be my own fantasies!
Thinking of this, Duan Ziyue laughed foolishly as if it was a serious matter.
Yes, that’s right, it must be because I’m taking the high school entrance exam soon and I’m under too much pressure.
Wake up, wake up quickly!
"Wow, wow, wow~" Duan Ziyue cried and hit her head.
No! It hurts!
It wasn't just her. The noise just now was so loud that anyone who was not deaf could hear it.
All the survivors in the campus stuck their heads out and looked in the direction of the sound with horror.
What happened again?
For a moment, the entire campus was filled with tension and anxiety.
But what could be seen more clearly was actually Principal An and his entourage in the teaching building.
From a long distance away, the huge body of the level 2 zombie was entangled with Xiao Jin.
The first person to see it was the student who was shooting arrows before. He leaned against the window with a look of shock on his face, and then he started to bang on the window desperately.
"Hey, hey, hey, come and see!"
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" The teacher next to him turned green in the face. Could it be that zombies appeared again?
The result was correct. The zombies that appeared this time were more difficult to deal with than the previous ones.
If there were zombies downstairs, they might be able to get rid of them or even escape if they tried their best.
But when everyone saw the huge monster in front of the gymnasium, there was only despair in their eyes.
However, the student who first discovered it was not so depressed. He pointed down with bright eyes and said, "Hey, that person, aren't you familiar with him?"
Xiao Jin did not enter the meeting room. The only people who knew her were the few people who had been in the corridor before.
He was hinting at something, and when Principal An and others came over, they recognized Xiao Jin at a glance.
After all, it had been less than half an hour since they separated, and Xiao Jin had left such a deep impression on them!
But now that he saw her fighting the monster and not losing, Principal An knew that he had underestimated Xiao Jin...
"Hey, isn't that Duan Ziyue?" The little boy who had given directions earlier also recognized the person sitting on the board frame.
Although it is quite far away, it can still be vaguely distinguished.
The little boy couldn't help but admire: "That's amazing, I just mentioned it, but I didn't expect she would actually find the person."
…………
His gaze returned to Xiao Jin.
After the level 2 zombie took three sword beams from Xiao Jin, its huge body was obviously exhausted. It staggered several times and tried to stand up again, but finally fell down weakly.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and threw it into the air.
The long knife was like an arrow shot from a bow, with a whistling sound, it pierced through the zombie's head accurately, making a muffled "puff" sound.
The zombie's body trembled violently, and then it completely lost its life. It slowly leaned back and lay at the bottom of the pit.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin did not hesitate for a moment. He flashed and stepped forward quickly, trying to take back the broken shadows.
However, just as she passed by the zombie's body, Xiao Jin habitually glanced at the other's head.
But at this glance, a subtle but extremely dazzling light inadvertently passed by the corner of Xiao Jin's eyes.
"Ok?"
Xiao Jin's footsteps suddenly stopped and his heart beat faster involuntarily.
Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and a shocking thought flashed through her mind like lightning, no way?
Xiao Jin paused, his eyes sharp as torches, observing through the hole in the head of the level 2 zombie. When he saw the familiar thing, his eyes immediately lit up.
It really is……
Xiao Jin immediately took out the contents of the zombie's brain and flushed it with water. The filth on the surface was immediately washed away by the water.
The crystal clear zombie core is like a gem, shining with an alluring light in the sun. But who would have known that it was actually generated from the brain of a zombie!
"Zombie crystal core." Xiao Jin spoke word by word, with an indescribable complexity in his eyes.
A bad news.
Since zombies have crystal cores, they may also have superpowers. There are many types of superpowers, the most common of which are speed and strength.
And the level 2 zombie that he encountered might be a zombie with strength-related abilities.
Then there are natural abilities such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder and wind. Although they are not common, they are not uncommon.
Even more unusual are the spiritual, healing, and space types.
For example, Xiao Jin is a user with space-related abilities.
Zombies are difficult to deal with in the first place, and once they have superpowers, they become a considerable threat to players.
It’s easy to understand that the game won’t let players fight against these ordinary zombies. If they have superpowers, then everything will make sense.
Of course, after talking about the bad news, let’s talk about the good news.
The good news is that the zombies in this world also have crystal cores, which represents the progress of the world's changes, and perhaps in some places it overlaps with the world of one's previous life.
Then, Xiao Jin could have the foresight to foresee certain things, and her ten years of experience of surviving in the apocalypse were not in vain.
Also, the zombie crystal core has another use for Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin's ability core is still in a damaged state. Although it can be restored little by little on a daily basis, it is too slow.
If she wanted to improve her mental strength by eating red maple fruit, she would need a lot of points. She didn’t even have enough points to strengthen her equipment, let alone buy red maple fruit!
But Xiao Jin might be able to obtain the zombie crystal core of a space zombie in this world. Even if the probability is low, this possibility cannot be completely denied.
After putting away the zombie crystal core, Xiao Jin turned around to look for Duan Ziyue.
After all, the noise just made was too loud, and some zombies from the school had already heard the noise and rushed over.
"Let's go!" Xiao Jin picked up Duan Ziyue, who was still sitting on the backboard rim and immersed in the thrilling scene just now.
Duan Ziyue was startled by this sudden change, but then she felt Xiao Jin's nervousness and anxiety.
"What's wrong?" Duan Ziyue's voice was soft, but it contained a barely perceptible tremor.
"Don't ask. It's not suitable to stay here for long." Xiao Jin's tone left no room for doubt. He then held Duan Ziyue's hand tightly and quickly walked towards the school exit.
Not long after they left, the messy basketball court was occupied by a group of zombies...
After leaving the school, the two of them shuttled through the streets.
Xiao Jin was originally moving very fast, but now that she was with Duan Ziyue, she had to slow down her pace.
It is worth mentioning that despite running all the time, Duan Ziyue gritted his teeth and persevered, following Xiao Jin silently, and did not make a sound even when he was tired.
However, Xiao Jin is not completely unkind. When he sees that someone is really tired, he will stop and rest for a while.
While Duan Ziyue was resting, Xiao Jin would quickly enter the shops on both sides of the street and collect some scattered supplies into the space.
Never waste one of them!
Of course, there was a small incident on the way back to the noodle shop - they met a rescue team.
They were all soldiers armed with live ammunition, forming an impenetrable line of defense on the streets of the city center, and even heavy tanks were driven in.
The steel tracks rolled over the broken road mercilessly, making a deafening sound.
The merciless artillery fire poured down like a storm, and every shell exploded in the zombie horde, causing pieces of blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
The bullets were like dense raindrops, whizzing through the air and knocking down the staggering zombies one by one.
The ground was already piled up with corpses as high as a hill, and the scarlet blood formed a stream, flowing slowly.
As soon as he stepped forward, Xiao Jin keenly noticed the sniper on the high ground, and several gazes fell on himself and Duan Ziyue one after another.
Xiao Jin looked over and the sniper in the distance felt a chill on his back, and at some point he seemed to look into Xiao Jin's eyes.
But the next second he blinked.
How is this possible? I am a special forces soldier, how could I be discovered by a child?
Sure enough, when he looked at Xiao Jin again, Xiao Jin had already looked away.
Not long after, a roar was heard from the front, and a military off-road vehicle drove towards the two of them, then blocked Xiao Jin's way.
Duan Ziyue didn't know why, but subconsciously hid behind Xiao Jin, sticking his head out to watch curiously.
Then, the car door was suddenly opened and two people quickly got out.
They were wearing heavy bulletproof vests, holding assault rifles, and their bodies were tense, ready to respond to possible threats at any time.
After a moment, a buzzing voice came through the heavy helmet: "Hello, we are the military rescue team, responsible for clearing the zombies in Linhai City. Didn't you watch the news?"
The person who spoke had sharp eyes as he glanced at Xiao Jin and Duan Ziyue. To be honest, his tone was not very calm.
Xiao Jin could understand that.
After all, an ordinary person like her, running around in such a dangerous place, isn't that a burden to the rescue team!
"I'm here to pick someone up." Xiao Jin replied calmly.
The two members of the rescue team looked at each other and said, "Recruiting people? We've already given orders to all residents not to move around. Why didn't they listen?"
Before Xiao Jin could say anything, Duan Ziyue raised his hand first.
"Don't blame my brother, uncle. She was just too worried about me and came to the school to find me. And if it weren't for my brother, I would really die in school."
Her words eased the atmosphere a lot.
Although the two members of the rescue team were a little angry, they also understood Xiao Jin's difficulties. After all, as a family member, it was understandable that they would worry about their sister.
However, it is surprising that he dared to walk around in a city full of zombies and even went to the school to pick people up.
The person who spoke first took a look at the knife in Xiao Jin's hand. He immediately realized that this was a good thing, a real one with a sharp blade.
This kid has some skills!
If this happened a few days ago, I would have been sent to the police station for illegally possessing a controlled knife... humph~
But this is a different time now, and it would be inappropriate to continue to dwell on it.
Noticing the other party's playful eyes sweeping over the broken shadows, Xiao Jin let him look openly without changing his expression.
Perhaps it was because neither of them looked like bad guys, and they didn't see any backpack with hidden things on Xiao Jin, so he didn't buy it for free.
So after the rescue team reprimanded Xiao Jin, they planned to let the two of them hide in a safe house first.
Xiao Jin agreed on the surface, and after the escorting soldiers left, she immediately left with Duan Ziyue.
However, fate always seems to like to play jokes at the most inopportune moments, and plans cannot keep up with changes.
The sky gradually darkened, and an ominous shadow quietly enveloped the earth.
At this moment, a heart-pounding noise came from the north like a tide.
"Don't move." Xiao Jin stuffed Duan Ziyue into a house on the side and jumped onto the roof himself.
When she looked carefully, her heart sank - it was a tide of zombies!
Those zombies with distorted faces and empty eyes were like souls summoned by the darkness. They were so vast and dense that they completely blocked the only road ahead.
Their roars and footsteps intertwined together, and they were gathering towards Xiao Jin and the other person step by step.
Xiao Jin quickly glanced around, looking for a possible way out.
After a moment she made a quick decision.
Since it has come to this, don't be anxious. It's getting dark, and it's not easy to travel at night. Most importantly, you are with others, so it's better to be safe.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin jumped down from the roof.
"Let's not go back to the noodle shop for now. Let's find a place to spend the night." Xiao Jin glanced at Duan Ziyue and spoke in a firm voice.
Although Duan Ziyue was a little scared, since her brother said so, she would definitely believe her more!
Xiao Jin quickly looked for a suitable shelter nearby and finally chose an office building not far away.
The office building was in a mess and as chaotic as a battlefield after a storm.
The ground was littered with all kinds of garbage and bloodstains, and broken limbs were discarded at random.
Duan Ziyue held Xiao Jin's dagger tightly, and Xiao Jin never took the knife back.
Perhaps because he had seen a lot along the way, Duan Ziyue was not as startled as before, but followed Xiao Jin closely.
This office building is about thirty stories high. Xiao Jin finally chose the third floor as their destination for the night.
The third floor is good. If there is any accident at night, she can take everyone away immediately.
Duan Ziyue stood in the back, looking around nervously, while Xiao Jin was clearing the zombies on the third floor.
