Chapter 579: Chapter 579 Trapped
"..."
So she wasn’t sitting down because she was tired?
Luo Hongyi felt his understanding was being challenged.
Su Jin had placed a total of six Man-eating Flowers outside the tower. Although she could have placed more, she was also worried about converting too much Special Ability from the flowers. After all, she could no longer go on a killing spree amidst the Zombie horde now.
Watching those Man-eating Flowers actively devouring Zombies, Mu Yunle couldn’t help but clap his hands in delight: "They’re eating Zombies, they’re eating Zombies, so awesome!"
"Don’t get too close to the window, go over to Uncle Zheng,"
Wei Junhao picked up Mu Yunle by the collar and placed him against the wall.
"Strange, why are there no High-Level Zombies here?"
Lu Guanhai was worried about the appearance of High-Level Zombies, but he had just specifically asked Mao Qiqi, and Qiqi didn’t seem to sense any particularly dangerous Zombies either.
"Must be newly converted, that small base,"
Lu Hao speculated, noting that many of the Zombies were still dressed in thick cotton clothing, completely different from those they had encountered on the road, and the skin of some Mutated Zombies had not yet turned completely gray-white.
It was very likely the small base Han Yue had talked about—where for some reason, all the Survivors had turned into Zombies.
"Alas, such unfortunate times!"
Lu Guanhai also followed Lu Hao in casting several Fireballs downward. From this height, the Fireballs could accurately hit the Zombies.
Lian Jiyue’s Metal Element Ability was still potent, and since Mao Qiqi no longer needed protection, he went all out and began killing the Zombies outside the window.
The thick silt and sand on the river beach also provided convenience for Su Jin, as wooden spikes sprang up from the mud, each finding its mark amidst the dense crowd of Zombies.
The most convenient was Luo Hongyi’s Thunder Element Ability, which, coupled with Bai Ying’s Water Element Ability and the damp silt, affected many surrounding Zombies. Those that fell backward were directly pierced through the head by Su Jin’s wooden spikes.
"That..."
A familiar figure appeared at the stairwell entrance: it was Xu Mingliang coming down.
"I can help too,"
Xu Mingliang’s tone was somewhat pleading. He didn’t want to stay with that person on the top floor and wanted to make an effort to thank the Heart Talk Team, but he was afraid that these people wouldn’t let him help.
"No one’s at the window on the right, you take over there,"
Lu Hao pointed in the direction next to Xu Mingliang and said.
Seeing nobody objecting to his help, Xu Mingliang’s eyes brightened, and he obediently ran to the place Lu Hao mentioned, starting to attack with his Special Ability.
"What exactly happened just now?"
Su Jin was curious as to why Xu Mingliang seemed as if he couldn’t wait to devour Han Yue.
The others were also curious; they remembered that Xu Mingliang had always been a supporter of the Han Family.
Lu Hao paused his Special Ability for a moment and told everyone about what had happened on the Man-eating Flower.
As expected, it was related to Fan Decai’s death. Wei Junhao had guessed a bit, but he didn’t expect Han Yue would also try to kick Xu Mingliang down. No wonder he couldn’t help but go up and hit someone.
"My goodness, that’s just inhuman,"
Zheng Shu actually felt some sympathy for Xu Mingliang now.
...
After a while, Su Jin placed the Local Tyrant Gold on her lap, and it actually fell asleep comfortably.
Lu Hao felt his hand being held by a soft little palm, and a familiar sensation followed—Su Jin was replenishing his Special Ability. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
"You’ve worked hard,"
Su Jin said that along the way, Lu Hao had taken on a lot for her, and she couldn’t bear to let him shoulder it all alone. As long as the two of them were together, she wouldn’t worry about the little life inside her stomach.
"Yeah, keep that in mind, and remember to compensate me later,"
Lu Hao suddenly leaned close and whispered in Su Jin’s ear, his warm breath making Su Jin’s face turn red.
Fighting zombies, what kind of compensation, Su Jin couldn’t help but silently mock.
"However... I might be about to advance in level soon,"
Lu Hao felt the special ability within him. He didn’t want to advance in level too quickly, at least not until most of the zombies outside were eliminated. Moreover, if he couldn’t advance in the Space, it could take a very long time.
"That’s good news. Don’t worry, at least my special ability won’t run out,"
Su Jin was very happy for Lu Hao, knowing that advancing in level after reaching Level Five special ability was quite difficult. If Lu Hao succeeded this time, he would reach Level Seven Fire Element.
"Mmm,"
Although Su Jin said this, he still wasn’t reassured, but he would figure out a way. Right now, whether or not he could successfully advance in level was a secondary concern.
Night fell, and Wei Junhao and the others finally couldn’t hold on any longer and sat down in chairs. Their special abilities had been depleted.
In contrast, the zombies outside were excited. Although their numbers were still 120,000, according to Qiqi, very few were coming from the surrounding areas now.
So their current task was to eliminate these 120,000 zombies.
Lian Jiyue also felt somewhat exhausted. Although they hadn’t expended physical strength, the continuous use of their special abilities was getting to them.
Su Jin transferred some more special ability to Lu Guanhai. The Man-eating Flower never stopped moving, and her special ability was not diminishing at all. Seeing Lian Jiyue on the side, she still called over Qiqi.
Qiqi knew Su Jin’s special method, so she communicated with Lian Jiyue using her spiritual power.
Lian Jiyue was first surprised, then nodded his head.
"Tell her thank you for me,"
he said to Qiqi.
Upon seeing that Qiqi had communicated well with Lian Jiyue, Su Jin pretended to rest and sat down next to Lian Jiyue.
Thin green vines appeared beneath the sleeves of Lian Jiyue, and although he felt a bit ticklish, the vines had already wrapped around his wrist.
A marvelous feeling arose. In his dried-up field of special ability, it seemed as though a trickle of water had appeared, gradually moisturizing, infusing, filling...
He looked at his sleeves in amazement. Could the Wood Element ability also replenish another person’s special ability?
"Lu Hao, you should rest for a while, too. Do you really have to be this heaven-defying?"
Wei Junhao, watching Lu Hao who seemed tireless, said as the firelight outside indicated that, although he had been using his special ability for so long, its power apparently hadn’t weakened at all. Keep in mind, the rest of them had already taken two breaks.
"Mmm, you all go up and sleep for a bit first, I’ll rest later,"
Lu Hao checked the time, and it was already night. They had been traveling all day and had expended their special abilities; they needed to hurry and sleep.
"You rest, I’ll take over,"
Su Jin said, walking up behind Lu Hao.
"I’m fine, my arms are just a bit sore from lifting,"
Lu Hao pointed to his own arms, and with Su Jin replenishing his special ability, he didn’t feel the strain of the energy loss, just that his arms were a bit sore from being raised continuously.
Wei Junhao and the others didn’t insist on staying awake anymore and, together with Xu Mingliang, went up towards the high tower. It seemed like Lu Hao and Su Jin planned to rest a little later, which made Luo Hongyi and the others once again recognize what it meant to be an SS-level team.
"Let’s rest on the eighth floor," Wei Junhao suggested.
The tower had nine floors in total. Han Yue and his group were on the ninth floor, but he didn’t want to rest in the same place as them. First, they really needed quiet, and second, he didn’t feel comfortable sleeping near them.
