Chapter 8 - Bring Up the Back

"I'll hold them back. You guys go and see if the wall can be broken?" Lu Linyan shouted behind him.

"Alright!" Without any hesitation, Big Fatty Zhang got out of the car and used his Earth-type abilities on the wall to see if he could control it to destroy it.

Zhao Xuan didn't fall behind. He was a Water-type ability user, so he couldn't control the soil. However, that didn't stop him from using his abilities to soften the mud wall, which would make it easier for Big Fatty Zhang to control it. Of course, it would be good if he could just crush it.

Shan Tao was only a Healer and was not good at these things. However, following behind Uncle Liu, she also picked up the hoe that the base had forgotten to take out from the car and dug hard at Zhao Xuan's soft spot. Every bit she could dig was important.

Ling Xuanwei stayed behind to help Lu Linyan stop the zombie and buy them time to control the field with her spiritual power. That was a rare Level 4 zombie, not to mention a Speed-type one.

"It's about to collapse!" Big Fatty Zhang controlled his special ability, causing the earthen wall to tremble.

The Strength-type zombie, which was using the soil to move over, seemed to sense that someone was resisting its ability. It stopped controlling the soil and walked slowly.

It also focused on the control that it used to block the mud wall that wanted to escape.

The earth wall was about to shatter, but in the next second, an external force barely stabilized it.

Big Fatty Zhang felt like he was about to crush his white teeth. "F*ck…" he said, using all the strength he could muster. The veins on his hand bulged, and his face twisted.

Big Fatty Zhang let out a roar. "I… I'm going to… give you hell today, you animal! AHHHH!!! Crack!!"

At the same time, Zhao Xuan increased the pressure of the water.

The mud wall that was barely surrounded shook even more, and some fine sand fell one after another.

"Uncle Liu, let's retreat to the side." Shan Tao sensed that the earth wall was about to collapse and hurriedly reminded him.

"Alright! Let's go."

The two moved to the side.

Boom! The wall collapsed, turning into sand. Big Fatty Zhang controlled the mud to move to the side, opening up a passageway.

The wall shattered. The Strength-type zombie felt that it had been provoked and let out an angry scream. It dragged the iron rod that it had picked up from somewhere and actually ran towards the car. With every step it took, the ground seemed to tremble.

Lu Linyan and Ling Xuanwei cooperated well and defended flawlessly, making the Speed-type zombie so angry that it stomped its feet and cried out.

The sound of the wall falling to the ground and the angry roar of the Strength-type zombie confirmed that the road had been cleared.

"They've already succeeded."

"Yes, tell them to retreat first. We'll cover them."

Lu Linyan said to Ling Xuanwei.

"Alright." Ling Xuanwei nodded. It was just as she had thought. The Speed-type zombie was very difficult to deal with. Although it did not break through her and Lu Linyan's defense, the two of them could not leave for the time being. They could only let the others leave first.

Ling Xuanwei was about to speak when the sound of the truck behind her rang out, as well as the shouts of her teammates behind her.

"Captain, Vice-Captain, you can get ready to leave."

"You guys go first. I'll cover the retreat with your Captain."

Ling Xuanwei shouted without turning her head. In her current state, she was using the gun and her ability at the same time. She was so focused that she did not even have time to turn her head.

"No, it's too dangerous. Let's go together."

"Listen up, this is an order. Uncle Liu, take them away immediately." Lu Linyan's tone was irrefutable.

"Alright! You two be careful. The leader is still waiting for you to go back." The truck immediately started and fled.

"But…" Both Shan Tao and Big Fatty Zhang looked worried.

"There's no buts. If we stay there, we'll only cause trouble for the Captain and Vice-captain. It might be easier for them to escape if we leave." Zhao Xuan calmly analyzed for them and comforted them.

"Don't worry, I'll call the base later. They'll send someone to pick them up."

Old Liu heard their conversation from the driver's seat and said to them.

Seeing the truck leave, the Strength-type zombie that was already close screamed fiercely, wanting to summon the earth wall to surround their food that was about to run.

Lu Linyan directly burned it on the face. Then, he rolled over and dodged the little fellow's tongue attack with Ling Xuanwei's help.

The flames burned. The threat of high temperatures forced it to interrupt the release of its ability. It condensed sand and hit its face to extinguish the flames. After the flames were extinguished, its originally green skin turned greenish-black. It was already ugly, but now it was even uglier.

With this interruption, the truck had already driven out of the range of its power. The Strength-type zombie had no choice but to transfer its anger to the iron rod and swing it around. At the same time, its earth power attacked the two of them.

"Let's go."

Lu Linyan and Ling Xuanwei looked at each other, then turned around and fled. Strength-type zombies were not good at speed. Even with its Earth-type power, it could not run fast. However, the little one came to disturb them from time to time, which annoyed the two of them.

After many twists and turns, the two of them had already entered another street.

"This Speed-type seems to have a special connection with the Strength-type," Ling Xuanwei said to Lu Linyan.

Although the Strength-type didn't catch up, it was chasing in a very clear direction without any mistakes. Obviously, the two zombies were working together, and the two of them were targetted.

"We can't go on like this. I don't have much power left. We have to find a chance to kill the Speed-type in an instant." Only then would the zombies not be able to catch up to them. Moreover, Lu Linyan was really tired of the Speed-type.

Although he might not be able to hit it alone and could only defend passively, he was not alone now.

In White Clouds store.

Yun You, who had finished processing the ingredients, had already begun to make it. She added the ingredients and shook it to add ice. Making fruit tea was originally a very simple process, but Yun You found ways to play around with it.

After adding the ingredients, she threw it back with her left hand and turned the container with her right hand to catch the ingredients that were thrown up. Needless to say, she shook it abnormally. Instead, she spun it in the air and caught it.

After shaking it for a while, she seemed to feel that it was not enough and added two more cups.

Big Orange, who was watching from the side, couldn't stand it anymore. "Meow, are you making fruit tea or juggling?"

"Haha, don't you think it's cool?" Yun You asked with a smile.

"…" Big Orange silently turned around.

"Alright, I'm not playing anymore." Looking at Big Orange, Yun You put away her playfulness. In fact, she felt that it was quite cool. At that time, she felt that others were very skilled, so she wanted to learn it. She even practiced alone for a long time.

Yun You put down the container and cup at once and poured the shaken fruit tea into the two cups. It was just enough to store it. Finally, she inserted a straw and placed a tender green leaf provided by the system. Yun You clapped her hands, and the signature fruit tea series, "Resuscitation", was completed.

The bright yellow liquid was slightly red. Fragrant fruits and pineapple flesh floated intertwined. As they rotated, one could vaguely see the oranges that had yet to completely break. Ice cubes floated on the liquid surface. On the ice cubes, there were a few emerald leaves leaning on the orange petals, emitting a faint fragrance.

She wondered if there would be guests today.
