Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Clean Parking Lot
âAh, this place isnât bad at all; you can pick any car here,â Liao Yifan said as he looked around the parking lot.
âAre we supposed to kill zombies here?â
Although Ban Xiaobo knew that Su Jin and the others had come out on a mission to kill zombies, he was still somewhat apprehensive. His fear of mutated zombies wasnât something new, and it was only today that he realized that mutated zombies were everywhere outside.
âMmhmm, itâs quite spacious here, and there are no other people to compete for kills, how peaceful,â
Liao Yifan said contentedly.
So peacefulâŠ
...
Xu Chao looked at the roaring zombies outside and swallowed, thinking, where exactly is it peaceful here?
After the car was parked, the walkie-talkie crackled into life again, this time with Lu Hao speaking, âBanzi, you two stay in the car with Rong Yuan, itâs too dangerous outside.â
Although Ban Xiaobo and Xu Chao had killed quite a few zombies, since they were with Rong Yuan, and the three of them didnât need to kill zombies for their teamâs mission, everyone thought it would be safer for them to stay in the car.
Ban Xiaobo agreed. He wasnât afraid to go out; he feared that the three of them would hold back the team, so he decided to do as Lu Hao instructed.
Behind the low wall on one side of the parking lot were three residential buildings aligned in a row. Some zombies in those buildings, either having heard a noise or smelled something, began jumping out of the windows. However, there was a small road between the low wall and the residential buildings, so those zombies that jumped down and survived still couldnât enter the parking lot.
Since there were quite a few zombies around the three cars, Su Jin and Lu Hao had already climbed out from the top of the cars and, stepping from one car roof to another, jumped to a spot somewhat away from the three vehicles.
The zombies clinging to the side of the car had caught their scent and were now running towards them.
Finally, the car door could be opened, and the trio of Ban Xiaobo sighed in relief. Just sitting in the car, they felt they couldnât even breathe.
Rong Yuan looked curiously at the man and woman fighting zombies ahead.
The manâs Fire Element attacks covered a wide area. With just a slash, many zombies around him collapsed, while Su Jinâs vines were both offensive and defensive. The vinesâ tips seemed to always be piercing the zombiesâ heads, but the latter half protected the duo from zombie attacks by constantly wrapping around them.
A Metal Element zombie formed a long sword in its hand and slashed at Su Jinâs vines, but Su Jin just sneered. A thick side shoot emerged beside the stout vine, coiling around the Metal zombieâs arm again and again. The shoot then gradually contracted, tearing off the zombieâs arm, which was holding the sword!
Following that, Lu Haoâs Tang Sword swung, easily decapitating the Metal zombieâs head.
Rong Yuan watched the zombieâs head flying into the air, momentarily stunned.
He also longed, deeply longed for that kind of power.
The power to erase all the ugliness of this worldâŠ
With more people arriving, the zombies around Su Jin and Lu Hao quickly decreased in number. Liao Yifan found a Power Element zombie matching his own element, and the two quickly got into a fierce battle.
âXiao Jin, letâs switch!â
Huang Yunxiang called out to Su Jin, facing an Earth Element zombie, while a Fire Element zombie was in front of Su Jin.
Su Jin nodded, and the two quickly swapped positions. Earth Element attacks were almost ineffective against Su Jin, and Huang Yunxiangâs Water Element attacks made the Fire zombie fall back step by step.
In her battle with the Fire Element zombie, Huang Yunxiang discovered that it was a Level Two Fire Element zombie. It shot several fireballs at Huang Yunxiang, all of which were swallowed by the water tornado she conjured.
The water tornado moved forward, engulfing the Fire Element Zombie within its swirl. As the Fire Element Zombie forcefully jumped out of the tornado, one of Huang Yunxiangâs Water Arrows pierced directly through its head from the bottom up!
âThey are all so impressive,â
Xu Chao watched intently outside and couldnât help saying.
âYes, and it looks like each of them has become stronger,â
Ban Xiaobo pointed out, referring to the last time they had encountered Lu Hao and his group, suggesting that these individuals had likely advanced in level.
Outside the vehicle, Lin Xiuyuan faced off against a Level Three Ice-Element Zombie, which was much smarter than the Ice-Element Zombies he had encountered before.
It continuously tried to grab Lin Xiuyuanâs body. Being an Ice-Element Ability User himself, he knew exactly what the zombie intended. A simple touch or attack would turn his entire body into ice!
Thus, he couldnât afford to be careless, but the Ice-Element Zombie was too agile. Lin Xiuyuan tried hard to control it, but it always managed to dodge his attempts.
This wasnât working. It was draining too much of his Special Ability, and Lin Xiuyuan was growing anxious internally.
In the midst of the fight, he saw Lin Cheng, who was battling a Water Element Zombie, erect an earth wall on the ground to block it.
Afterwards, Lin Xiuyuan took the hint, deciding not to entangle with the Ice-Element Zombie in front of him any longer.
Mimicking Su Jin, Lin Xiuyuan placed his hands on the ground. Instantly, an ice wall with spikes on top sprang up in front of him, blocking the Ice-Element Zombie that was swiftly attacking him!
Taking advantage of the moment when the Ice-Element Zombie had not yet reacted, Lin Xiuyuan clenched his teeth. The ice wall quickly transformed into a circle of ice walls, trapping the Ice-Element Zombie within it.
He had it under control!
Continuing to manipulate his Ice-Element Abilities, countless ice spikes suddenly appeared within the ice wall, each piercing into the body of the Ice-Element Zombie.
Thud!
The final ice spike finally stabbed into the zombieâs head.
âWell done, son!â
Huang Yunxiang admired the spectacular ring of ice walls.
âI cry, that directly used up half of my Special Ability,â
Lin Xiuyuan ruefully withdrew the ice wall, wondering why he couldnât reclaim the expended flames as Special Ability like his brother-in-law could.
âItâs worth it, though, Level Three Zombies arenât easy to come by,â
Su Jin, while fighting zombies, consoled him. A drained Special Ability could be replenished through rest or by absorbing a Crystal Core, but Level Three Ice-Element Crystal Cores were particularly hard to find.
Reassured by Su Jin, Lin Xiuyuan no longer felt the pinch. If it werenât for the need to bring back the Crystal Core from todayâs Mutated Zombie for verification before he could claim the mission reward, he would have absorbed it right then and there.
Mao Qiqi had already dealt with two Speed Element Mutated Zombies and was now slaying Ordinary Zombies.
Next to her, Mao Zhihang, while controlling his Metal Element Abilities to kill zombies, kept an eye on the safety of his wife and daughter. He was absolutely alert today, having been scared by a previous incident.
