Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Special Ability Users and Ordinary People
Zhang Dong lowered his head to look at his hands, grimy and calloused.
Why wasnât he a Special Ability User? Why were there ordinary people? Why could ordinary people, no matter how hard they worked, never match those with Special Abilities?
Bang!
A Metal Shield was placed in front of him.
He looked on in shock as a Zombie that had leaped toward him was impaled through the head by a Metal Spike.
âI told you, you ordinary people are no good. Zombies are coming and youâre still standing there like an idiot!â
...
An angry womanâs voice came, and the Metal Spike in her hand did not stop, as she continued to slay the surrounding Zombies.
âWho the hell asked you to save me? I want to become a Zombie!â
âEven if you ordinary people turn into Zombies, youâll just be Ordinary Zombies. Whatâs the point?â
ââŠâ
It seemed that the womanâs harsh words had angered Zhang Dong, who picked up a long knife beside him and hacked at the Zombies.
Because there were too many Zombies, Su Jin and Lu Hao along with others used area attacks. They had never felt stressed when they went out to kill Zombies with the whole family before, but now, with just a few of them here, they really werenât used to it.
Out of the more than 400 Zombies, nearly half were Mutated Zombies. Su Jin and the others were still okay, but the group of people on the short bridge had begun to suffer casualties!
Yu Ling and a few Special Ability Users were still desperately using their Special Abilities to kill Zombies. Seeing teammates continuously dying, Yu Ling seemed to grow even angrier.
âPlease, help us. All the Crystal Cores over here will be yours!â a man behind Yu Ling shouted loudly.
Su Jin recognized him; he was the same man who had tried to mediate the conflict before.
âLetâs go help them, weâre almost done here,â
Lin Xiuyuan said, he still couldnât bear to watch people on the other side being knocked down one after another.
Su Jin and Lu Hao nodded, and Mao Qiqi had already rushed forward wielding a Watermelon Knife.
The people from Yu Lingâs group were astonished to see a young girl who, without the use of Special Abilities, could hack Zombies so effortlessly they couldnât fight back, as well as a man holding a long knife with flames, pondering who these people could be!
âGet out of the way!â
Yu Lingâs right side was forcefully collided with by someone who had shielded her from the Ice Spikes of an Ice Element Zombie!
It was Zhang Dong!
That Ice Element Zombie continued its attack on them, but a wall of ice formed in front of them.
âLeave this one to me, and the Crystal Core is mine, okay?â
A young man said to them with a smile.
Lin Xiuyuan watched the Level Four Ice Element Zombie in front of him with excitement. Ice Element Zombies were too rare; luckily, these people couldnât handle it, so the Crystal Core would be his.
Zhang Dongâs left shoulder was pierced by an Ice Spike, and more Zombies were charging at them. Yu Ling kept using her Metal Shield to block for him, but the smell of blood attracted the surrounding frenzied Zombies to swarm towards them!
âForget about me, youâre a Special Ability User, you can survive on your own,â
Zhang Dong said behind Yu Ling, thinking it wasnât worth dying for an ordinary person like him.
âShut up, you dead weight! I donât need you telling me what to do,â
Whoosh!
A long vine flew towards them, instantly piercing the heads of several Zombies in front of them, and Yu Ling finally saw clearly that it wasnât a rope; it was a dark green vine!
What kind of Special Ability was this?!
Zhang Dong behind her saw clearlyâthe vine was covered with sharp barbs, and as it moved, Zombie heads were being flown off, and the woman with two knives in her hands was incredibly sharp, easily chopping off the heads of Mutated Zombies!
Lu Hao frowned as he looked toward the battlefield filled with both Zombies and people; it was becoming difficult to use area attacks.
So, with no other choice, he once again employed his feeble, candle-like method of picking off Zombies to burn.
The situation greatly improved, and upon seeing there was hope, the people again fought desperately against the Zombies, among them both Special Ability Users and ordinary people.
A man had a chunk of flesh bitten off his shoulder by a Mutated Zombie.
Su Jin slashed off the head of the mutated zombie, but it already seemed too late for the man, as his wound had begun to turn purple.
âOld Liao!â
A cry called out to him.
But he smiled and said to Su Jin, âThank you, special ability user.â
Before he could turn, Su Jin thrust a leaf into his temple and then silently closed his eyes.
As she stood up, her gaze sharpened again, and she continued to attack the remaining zombies.
Ugly caws from crows flying in the sky could be heard as the 400-plus zombies were slowly but surely all taken care of, yet five people had still been sacrificed from their team.
âThank you all, you can take all the crystal cores here,â said Yu Ling to Su Jin.
âOne hundred for you, three hundred for us,â Su Jin responded. It wasnât fair to give them all away since they had killed the zombies together.
Yu Ling gave a wry smile, didnât say anything, and began to extract crystal cores with his teammates.
There was a healing element special ability user in their team, who was now treating Zhang Dongâs wounds.
Lin Xiuyuan dug for crystal cores while explaining the road to the base to those people; if they were lucky today, they could completely reach the base before nightfall.
These people also expressed their gratitude to him. If not for these special ability users today, they might have all perished here.
And yet, just moments ago, they were still quarreling over the issues between normal people and special ability usersâŠ
âHello, young lady, are you a normal person too?â Zhang Dong asked Mao Qiqi, who was earnestly digging for crystal cores in front of him.
Mao Qiqi wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, she nodded.
âIn the base, there are many normal people, and they are all very capable,â Mao Qiqi said.
Zhang Dong hung his head after hearing this. A lot of normal people?
âIâm sorry, I was too harsh with my words,â Yu Ling came over, crouched down, and said.
She was just too fed up with some self-righteous normal people in the team who always wanted to stand in front of her, offering to die for her, saying she should survive well. She never thought that special ability users were at a higher level than normal people nor that she needed protection. Thatâs why she had spoken the way she did before.
After all, she didnât want anyone to die for herâŠ
âSpecial ability users and normal people are the same in battle, why bother separating the two?â
After saying that, Su Jin left with a few others in the car.
These people, who clearly cared for each other and were willing to sacrifice their lives for their teammates, it was puzzling why they still argued. Su Jin didnât quite understand but hoped that perhaps they wouldnât argue anymore in the future.
âPhew⊠finally, no more obstructions,â said Lin Xiuyuan, finally getting his hands on the steering wheel, looking like he hadnât even broken a sweat from the recent battle.
âLetâs stop ahead for a bit and wash the crystal cores; they smell bad in the car,â suggested Su Jin. They hadnât immediately washed the crystal cores in front of so many people just now.
So when Nie Qing emerged from his space, he saw several people outside, rinsing a small basket of crystal cores.
âWhat happened just now? Why didnât you call me?â asked Nie Qing, slightly embarrassed. Everyone clearly had just been through an intense fight, and there he was, having watched two episodes of a TV series in the spaceâŠ
âIt was nothing. Just cleaning the road,â said Lu Hao.
âOh, is that so? Whatâs the name of our destination today?â Nie Qing inquired.
âUncle Nie, itâs Ninghe Mountain,â Su Jin explained. Today, they planned to reach there, rest a bit, and also have Lu Hao or Nie Qing draw a few spirit gathering trapping formations to try to attract some mutant animals and the like.
