Yu Hai Villa was located on the edge of the city center, only about two and a half kilometers from the hotel they were staying at.
When it was built, it was originally a vast forest, covering a thousand acres. The east side was next to a long inner river, and the river flowed continuously, passing through four provinces of Long Xia.
Hua Long Road.
A figure was sprinting at high speed. With the Wind Soul's speed enhancement, even though he was carrying a girl in his arms, Ye Xin's speed was still as fast as a cheetah, like lightning.
[Ding! Killed a Complete Zombie +233, gained experience +699, life +225, strength +23, spirit +142] [Ding! Killed an Ordinary Zombie +42, gained experience +42, strength +10, stamina +2, spirit +21] [Ding! Killed an Ordinary Zombie +121, gained experience +121, strength +3, life +82, spirit +6]
The system rewards kept ringing in his mind, and his character level was rising rapidly, like he was riding a rocket.
Another three level jumps brought him to level 31. The more this happened, the more worried Ye Xin became, fearing something might happen to them.
Because Su Momo had given him so much.
Momo, what happened to you all...
The corner Xie Wan'er had mentioned was ahead. The main group was currently stuck at the corner, besieged by zombies, struggling to advance. After all, this was the downtown area, and there were certainly many zombies.
"Goddess Mother, where should we go?" Zhao Ziming asked after leading people to the corner.
"Go straight east! Less than three miles, through the forest path, and we'll be safe."
The villa area was sparsely populated, with very few humans who could mutate, but behind...
Due to Ye Xin's lagging behind, Su Momo took on the responsibility of covering the rear. Her pressure was immense, her breathing uneven, sweat soaking her clothes. The main force was charging forward, but many zombies were a half-beat slow in pursuit, resulting in a horde of possibly thousands behind, swarming towards them.
Xie Wan'er was surrounded, watching the figures fighting the zombies. She clenched her fists, silently blaming herself. Besides leading the way, she didn't seem to be able to help with anything and even needed Momo's protection.
"Damn... there are too many zombies ahead; we can't push through..."
After some delay, hundreds of zombies rushed out of a mall in front. Their faces were grim, and seeing the group of people, they charged forward, as if they had spotted some exquisite delicacy.
"Water Bead Barrage!" Drops of water welled up from the ground. With Aunt Su Wu's wave of her hand, these water beads shot towards the plaza ahead. The water bullets pierced through their bodies one after another; some exploded their heads, while others quickly stood up again and followed the group, continuing to charge.
"Captain Xu, come and see. There's a group of survivors surrounded by zombies. Should we go save them?"
On the rooftop of a twenty-story building in the Happy Community, across from the mall.
"Are you stupid? You go lure away those two mutated monsters downstairs? You're stuck on the rooftop and can't get down, yet you're thinking of saving others. Xiao Shi, you're really a fool." The middle-aged man was a little unhappy but couldn't help but glance in the direction of the mall, and was immediately shocked: "Holy crap... what did those bastards do?"
Looking down, scattered heads were all rushing towards the empty space in the middle, perhaps numbering in the tens of thousands.
"They should be thankful it's not the weekend. Otherwise, the mall would definitely be hit by a zombie horde. But this scale is already a small one. Sigh, Old Li is still waiting for rescue, and we can't even take care of ourselves~" The two were wearing tattered green cloaks, looking dejected. They could only pray that the three monsters wouldn't come after them.
"Captain Xu... Have even Awakened Ones reached the point where we can't defeat the zombies?"
Xu Yong didn't say anything, lit a cigarette, and blew out smoke, observing the small skirmish happening below.
In the mall and the commercial buildings, countless survivors were present. With their high vantage points, they all noticed the dozen or so people fighting with a large group of zombies below.
News about humans with abilities was spreading across major websites, but how the abilities were awakened was never revealed.
Su Momo manipulated time, holding off the thousands of zombies gathering behind her. Her face was pale. Fortunately, there were no mutated zombies; otherwise, she would really be in trouble. The time ability slowly eroded the zombies' bone marrow until they turned to dust.
But this wasn't a sustainable solution. As the commotion grew, their position was not good, right in the middle of a road intersection, vulnerable on all sides. The chain reaction they were facing was a surging zombie horde!
"Damn that scoundrel, and Su Duoduo, when are they going to come back~" Su Momo was so angry at the mess the two had left behind that she just called them by name. This sentence was overheard by the two who had just crossed through space.
"Who are you calling a pervert?"
"Hmph… Sister, were you talking bad about your sister?"
The two of them appearing undoubtedly brought hope to the team.
"Boss, quickly use your big move to clear the way! There are too many zombies in front of us, Aunt Wu and I can't finish them off together!" Zhao Ziming immediately asked for help when he saw his big brother arrive.
"God Above!" The other flanks weren't doing well either. The situation was urgent, and everyone was looking forward to Ye Xin taking action.
"Alright, hold on a little longer. Duoduo, teleport them away! Momo, come here. Wan'er, you come too."
"Oh~" The two girls lowered their heads, like children who had made a mistake. Su Momo thought that she had been caught talking bad about him behind his back, while Xie Wan'er thought that not only could she not help at all, but leading the way had also put the team in a difficult situation.
Ye Xin deliberately called out with a stern face, while Su Duoduo jumped down from the side, winking at the two girls, looking smug.
"Wan'er, hold my hand, just like last time!" Xie Wan'er nodded happily. She understood that Ye Xin wasn't blaming her and was still teaching her how to use her ability. The lotus flower on her forehead bloomed with cracks again.
"Shout with me, Domain of Desolation!"
"Domain of Desolation!" The skill's effect created a suppression within the area, lasting for a duration equal to the level (currently level 31) in seconds, which would be reduced depending on the strength of the zombies, and the same applied to Awakened ones. The range was (level) meters. The entire plaza was only a hundred meters long, meaning his skill covered half the plaza.
Adding Xie Wan'er's, it covered the whole field!
After the two of them shouted the skill, the earth emitted black Qi that instantly covered the stone-paved ground.
The pitch-black ground emitted visible black Qi.
The outermost edge was more obvious, resembling burning black flames. Ye Xin, holding Xie Wan'er's hand, was like a Dark Monarch, standing in the center of the black circle.
"Wow, the entire arena instantly turned black. What's covering the whole plaza?"
"Is this a human ability? The zombies aren't moving."
Discussions erupted. Xu Yong's eyes widened, and he crushed the cigarette in his hand, shouting, "Quick! Phones! Take pictures!"
In the darkness, everyone's silhouette was clearly visible.
The sudden darkening of the ground caused the Divine Punishment members to panic. Once they knew it was God Above's skill, they had nothing but worship and faith in their eyes.
After Su Duoduo opened a space gate and found them standing there in a daze, she became slightly angry, saying, "Don't just stand there, you're getting in your boss's way!"
Woken up, they left in a daze. After all, opportunities to witness Ye Xin's strength were rare. Su Duoduo anxiously urged each person, she only wanted to complete the task given by Ye Xin, and then ask for her exclusive princess carry.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Xin was also teaching Xie Wan'er how to use her skills.
"Wan'er, do you remember this feeling? Your Chaos-type first skill is Boundless Replication. Alright, Duoduo, protect Wan'er and leave. I'm going to clear everything here!"
Killing all these zombie units would boost his strength by another level.
"Wan'er remembers... Thank you, brother."
"No need to be so polite with your brother..." Ye Xin's heart melted at the little girl's cuteness.
After Xie Wan'er and Su Duoduo retreated, Ye Xin turned around and asked with a smile, "Momo, do you know where you went wrong?"
"I... shouldn't have said bad things about brother behind his back..." Su Momo's attitude was still sincere, but she was pouting, looking unhappy.
"Sigh, it has nothing to do with that."
Ye Xin sighed, knowing she had misunderstood, gently picked her up, and then lowered his head to kiss her.
The little girl responded enthusiastically, tears in her eyes. In the turbulent apocalypse, she had guarded Ye Xin's back, and was caught red-handed when she wanted to complain and vent, so she naturally felt resentment and grievance in her heart.
In that moment of the kiss, everything was released.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Ye Xin chided gently, "Momo, I don't even get angry when you scold me. We agreed, no matter what happens in the future, don't try to tough it out... You hear me?"
The system's prompt of a unit being killed rang out. Su Momo had killed nearly a thousand zombies here, and her mental and physical strength had undoubtedly reached a critical point, yet she hadn't said a word in her mind.
"Mm..." Su Momo understood what he meant, and lowered her head weakly, her voice barely audible.
