Even though Xiang Xu was on his radar, Gu Ning did not dare to relax in the slightest, his right hand gripping his long knife tightly, her eyes, nose, ears, even her pores opening up, sensing all the possible changes around her and the danger contained in the changes.
And without having to feel Gu Ning's tightness, the others were alert enough.
No one in the group of thirteen spoke, there was not a single standing person to be seen on the road, and only after a few steps would one see a corpse that had decayed and been dried by the sun, men, women and children of all shapes and sizes, lying horizontally and vertically on the road, the silence was somewhat frightening, only occasionally the breeze blew by and the trees on both sides of the road made a rustling sound, accompanied by the sound of footsteps falling on the ground, inexplicably making one's heart palpitate a little, this whole large The city was like an empty city, yet it was as if countless pairs of eyes were standing on high and looking down on them indifferently.
"Here it comes." Xiang Xu, who had not spoken, spat out these two words.
Then the line of thirteen people instantly tensed up and gripped into the knives in their hands at the same time.
Gu Ning's still calm voice was heard asking, "Where are you coming from?"
Xiang Xu said, "There are more than ten zombies to the west, they are coming this way, they are very slow, it will take at least five minutes to get here. Two blocks east there are three zombies coming this way - very fast!"
Gu Ning shouted, "Xiang Yi, Cheng Ming, you two protect Xiang Xu! Everyone else get ready!"
At the same time as the words fell to the ground, three zombies rushed out from the direction leading east, these three zombies were very fast, almost faster than an ordinary person running wildly with all their might! They rushed out from an alleyway in the east and barely gave anyone time to react before rushing straight this way.
Apart from Gu Ning, it was the first time everyone else had seen a running zombie, and with the speed of the run, they were all shocked. Gu Ning was also afraid, she was actually the one most afraid of death, but the more afraid she was, the more she knew how weak she was now, and since she was weak, she had to become stronger, and since she wanted to become stronger, she had to cast her fear aside first.
So she gripped the knife in her hand tightly and was the first to charge towards the zombie running at the front of the pack.
She hadn't learnt any fighting techniques, and she had no moves, but only the instinct to survive after countless life-and-death experiences under the zombie's wide open bloodbowl.
She crouched to avoid the zombie's grasping hand and then swung her knife towards the back of the zombie's head!
The moment Gu Ning rushed over, the few people who had been shocked into a brief physical stiffness finally reacted, except for the two of them, Xiang Yi Cheng Ming, who had been asked by Gu Ning to protect Xiang Xu's safety, everyone else rushed over.
"Let me do it!" A shout was suddenly all that could be heard.
Everyone else was taken aback, and all they saw was that Daoist Master Jia in his Daoist robe rushing all the way to the front and rushing towards the zombie.
Several soldiers praised him in their hearts for his bravery.
The first reaction of Daoist Master Jia, who had been with Daoist Master Jia for a long time, was to run away when he saw the zombie, and if he could not run away, he would hide behind a group of people. The first thing you need to do is to get out of the way.
However, after a few steps, Daoist Master Jia stumbled on a corpse on the ground with its arms spread out, and then he stumbled and fell to his knees with his hands on the ground.
The people who followed him were all stunned for a moment.
Although it was such a tense moment, Cheng Ming just held back his laughter and picked up Daoist Master Jia and dragged him around Xiang Xu.
Jia Daochang said repeatedly, "Mistake, this is a mistake!"
The zombie was fast, but ultimately had no spiritual intelligence, Gu Ning took care of one without much effort, and with a glance at the crowd over there who were rounding up the remaining two zombies, Gu Ning was relieved to start opening the zombie's skull, and what he dug out was a clear coloured crystal core.
Slightly disappointed, Gu Ning wiped the crystal core off the dirt on that zombie's clothing before tossing it to Xiang Xu.
The other two zombies were also taken care of by their roundup, but to their surprise one was a blue crystal core.
Before they came, Gu Ning and San had agreed that the crystal core would be the one who killed the zombie.
However, the one zombie was killed by a slash from everyone, so they didn't know who should get the crystal nucleus, so they gave it to Gu Ning and said they would distribute it when they got back.
Gu Ning handed it over to Xiang Xu and told her to keep it safe.
The next step was to continue on, avoiding the small group of over 100 zombies coming from the other side and bumping into the 20 zombies head on. Fortunately, they were all ordinary zombies with stiff gait, so it was not difficult to tackle them.
Gu Ning yanked a female zombie by the hair and then yanked hard! The zombie fell to the ground with a howl of pain, Gu Ning chopped off its head and then stood up and rushed towards a skinny zombie!
The skinny zombie also came towards Gu Ning.
Gu Ning didn't use any tricks, he just aimed his knife at the zombie's head and slashed it! The corpse reached forward with both hands and grabbed the knife, but Gu Ning couldn't pull it out with a strong jerk! She was slightly shocked, seeing its slow movement, she thought it was an ordinary zombie, but she didn't expect it to be so strong. However, Gu Ning's strength was not small, so she used a strong jerk to pull the knife out of the zombie's palm. The zombie's green-grey palm was cut to the point where the flesh rolled over, but it continued to lunge towards Gu Ning on instinct!
Gu Ning didn't panic, her face was as calm as the surface of the water without a single ripple, she just gripped the knife in her hand and slashed at the zombie again as if she was dealing with a piece of firewood! This time she used her full strength and didn't give the corpse a chance to block it again. But with Gu Ning's strange strength, the curled edge of the blade cut through the top of the zombie's head unhindered, and with a puff - the head broke open in two.
The blue coloured beads tumbled out as the corpse fell to the ground.
Gu Ning picked it up and put it in his pocket.
Then he walked towards the other corpse.
Xiang Yi drew out the knife he had inserted into the corpse's eye socket, but did not miss the scene Gu Ning had just made, and could not help but be somewhat silent.
The most difficult power-type zombie had been solved by Gu Ning, so the other ordinary zombies were naturally easy to solve. Zhang Xiaobai's performance was actually very bright, you see he was white and clean, even with a knife in his hand he looked very civilized, but he was the one who killed the fastest zombies apart from Gu Ning, not to mention Gu Ning also knew that his marksmanship was also the best among the three companies.
Although she had already killed a zombie, she could not help but feel frightened when she faced these scary looking humanoid monsters again. But how can true fear be overcome so easily? She couldn't help but glance in Gu Ning's direction as she thought of this. Gu Ning was kicking a zombie to the ground, then without hesitation, she added a slash to the zombie's face, and then she drew her knife and stood up to look at another target.
Suddenly, she seemed to notice Huang Mengyao's gaze and twisted her head to look here. Huang Mengyao's eyes trembled slightly, as if she was a bit afraid of Gu Ning's gaze, she expected to see disappointment or harshness in Gu Ning's eyes. But there was nothing, those pale eyes just glanced at her lightly, without any extra emotion, no disappointment, no harshness, not even anything. With just one glance, they turned back and never looked this way again.
With just this one glance, Huang Mengyao had come to her senses. No matter how hard she tried to take care of Gu Ning's parents, she couldn't get a bit of goodwill from her. She knew with unparalleled clarity at this moment that if she couldn't satisfy Gu Ning today, then I'm afraid that after she went back, she would have to move out of the dormitory ...
Once she thought of this possibility, Huang Mengyao only felt an instant chill all over her body, and then she moved her feet with difficulty towards the nearest zombie ...
The two consecutive battles ended with no danger. Having gotten two colored crystal cores, it had gone well so far, and if they kept up this pace, they would not need 4:30 to return. Thinking about this, everyone's tense nerves couldn't help but relax a little.
Gu Ning, however, did not relax.
After a short rest, the team continued to move forward.
In the midst of the silence, the walkie-talkie suddenly rang, and an urgent voice came out from the walkie-talkie, the owner of the voice seemed to be running sounding urgent and tense: "Gu Ning! We've crashed into a zombie nest!"
It was only a short sentence before the intercom fell silent again.
Zhang Xiaobai's face went pale: "It's Luo Long ..."
What Luo Long's words represented was self-evident.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Ning vaguely heard the sound of gunshots from the distance -
The faces of the group of thirteen people all changed at once.
No shots should be fired unless absolutely necessary. This was what Third Brother had explained. One could imagine what kind of critical situation was going on over there.
Zhang Xiaobai yelled into the intercom, "Luo Long! Where are you guys now? Do you need support?"
However, the intercom fell into complete silence, and no more messages came through.
The faces of the soldiers turned pale.
Zhang Xiaobai held the walkie-talkie for a long time, only to feel that his whole body was enveloped in great fear. He couldn't help but look at Gu Ning, several soldiers all looked at Gu Ning, they wanted to go over to support, but although they didn't know the exact situation, everyone knew that it must be terribly dangerous, they really didn't know how to ask Gu Ning to go ... Before they could muster up the courage, they heard Gu Ning say, "Let's go."
Several soldiers as well as Cheng Ming several people were stunned and looked at Gu Ning, not knowing which direction this sound of go was going.
"It's not even half past four yet. Let's go and meet up with them." After Gu Ning said these words, she took the lead and walked the way she came, and as she walked she ran.
Cheng Ming and the others were a little stunned, then reacted and all ran after Gu Ning. The eyes of several soldiers were a little stunned, they did not expect that under such circumstances Gu Ning would still be willing to go back ... Then all that remained in their hearts was gratitude.
A line of thirteen people all quickly ran in the direction of the gunshots.
"Xiang Xu! I need to know where San and the others are the first time." Gu Ning shouted to Xiang Xu in a cold voice as he ran.
"Good!" Xiang Xu focused his mental energy, which was scattered in a web-like pattern, into one place, then spread it like a tentacle in a hurry towards the direction where the gunshots had just come from.
However, their rescue process did not go smoothly.
Halfway there, they encountered a small wave of zombies.
Gu Ning was worried about San's safety, so she didn't leave any room for manoeuvre. She pulled out the knife from her waist and shot directly at the first zombie that came running! Gu Ning's technique was extremely accurate, and with a strong hand, the knife was nailed directly into the brow of the corpse! Before the zombie fell to the ground, Gu Ning had already rushed to the front, pulled out his knife, and then slashed the long knife in his right hand towards the left side of the zombie's waist and stomach! He then stepped on top of the corpse and kicked it in the chest! The kick sent the corpse flying, knocking several corpses out of the way! Zhang Xiaobai was so shocked by Gu Ning's kick that he couldn't speak, but he didn't stay stunned for long, he quickly reacted and took care of a few zombies that tried to approach while Gu Ning was making up for it.
Jia Daochang finally found his own method of fighting, his weapon was an axe, and while Xiang Yi was attracting the zombies, he went around to the back of the zombies and slashed them with his axe to split them up.
But Xiang Yi said with discontent: "Godsend! Why are you taking it from me? Is this yours or mine?"
He pulled the axe out of the back of the zombie's head and laughed, "Fifty-fifty! It's 50/50! Don't you see that we're working together quite well?"
Xiang Yi grunted, but did not retort.
They were centred on Xiang Xu, and their main function was defence. From time to time, Gu Ning would deliberately let a few zombies over for them to help deal with, which did alleviate a lot of the pressure on the front line.
When the last zombie had its head cut off by Gu Ning and fell to the ground with a thud, the place was quiet again, and only then did they realize that the gunfire coming vaguely from over there had stopped at some point ...
