"However, what's certain is that they've hunted so many herbivores and humanoid Zombies, they must already be advanced mutants." Li Pu sighed, telling everyone what he knew about Zombie Evolution.

Ada Wong frowned. She had been in this world for a day and a half, and because she and Li Pu had gone straight to the suburbs, she hadn't encountered any advanced mutant Zombies.

The situation was not optimistic. Li Pu looked at his stats panel, lost in thought.

[Host: Li Pu] [Physique: Street Fighter World Fighter] [Talent Trait: Dragon of the Furniture City (Beginner)] [Talent Description: Normal weapon proficiency reduced by 50%, abnormal weapon proficiency increased by 50%. The more clutter in the scene during combat, the higher the agility bonus.] [Talent Trait: Ablaze (Fragment 1/9)] [Talent Description: ???] [Skill: Beginner's Ancient Martial Arts Qigong] [Skill: Beginner's Ancient Martial Arts Leg Techniques] [Skill: Nine Phoenixes Purge (Fragment 1/9)] [Goddess Affection Points: Chun Li, 72/100] [Goddess Affection Points: Ada Wong, 5/100]

Li Pu happily patted the fire axe and entrenching shovel at his waist: "Thankfully these two handy guys are classified as tools, otherwise I couldn't handle the Dragon of the Furniture City's 50% debuff."

The 50% debuff to normal weapon proficiency meant that Li Pu didn't dare to fire the gun Ada gave him; the probability of accidentally hurting his own people was too high.

As soon as he got his hands on normal weapons like daggers, machetes, and pistols, he became like an idiot.

Fortunately, the two weapons at his waist strictly followed the standards for non-controlled knives; they were truly essential for home travel, murder, and robbery.

He and Chun Li had spent a long time picking them out to get these two items that enjoyed the Dragon of the Furniture City's positive bonus and could also be used as conventional weapons.

This 50% positive bonus allowed Li Pu to wield them skillfully, even pulling off accurate throwing axe and flying tackle effects.

Li Pu generally didn't use the throwing axe or flying tackle; that was the slingshot's job. It was defined as a toy and also enjoyed a 50% mastery bonus, which Li Pu used to hit the target every time.

Li Pu took a few deep breaths, checking his dantian: "The true qi flame is getting smaller and smaller. After a night's rest, it feels like it's come back a little bit? I'll find a Zombie to test it on later."

"Auntie Wang, the Leg Queen, seems to have the ability to instantly kill advanced mutant Zombies, but it's not certain."

After summarizing his own strength, he was troubled by how to protect these little burdens.

After pondering for a moment, he had to ask Lily: "Is there any fuel left in those school buses?"

Chapter 40: Auntie Wang's Affection Points

"No," Lily said helplessly.

She supported her forehead with one hand. Away from the children, she finally had the right to show a haggard expression: "I don't know, I don't know why so many survivors are coming to the park."

"The gasoline, including the rest of the supplies, have all been scavenged by them."

"Originally, the supplies in this souvenir shop were enough for us to last a year..."

Lily sighed and continued, "No one was willing to take us burdens with them. They all left and died in this zoo."

The rock girl patted her sister's shoulder and said, "Later, when other survivors passed by, we simply hid and didn't contact them. Anyway, there are so many Zombies surrounding the area, they're not interested in this place."

Li Pu and Ada Wong exchanged glances. Those must have been the survivors attracted by the Jericho City rescue broadcast.

"They're all dead?" Li Pu asked Lily again to confirm.

"Yes, at least everyone I've seen is dead." She nodded with certainty.

Li Pu pondered for a moment: "Then let's clear these areas one by one. We'll clear the Carnival Square first, and then you guys can go over there."

"I think that's fine." Ada Wong's expression was elegant and calm, her icy voice crisp and concise, her eyes deep, as if dyed with a thin layer of frost.

"No, what if you abandon us and run away? Unless we exchange teammates," Lily said decisively.

Ada Wong looked at Lily, her face like solidified frost, her well-proportioned body exuding an unspeakable mysterious aura. However, her cold gaze was like a knife, making it impossible for her to escape.

"My task is only to protect the boss; protecting you isn't written in the contract."

Time is money. Li Pu still wanted to grind Affection Points with Ada Wong and explore the secret of instantly killing high-level Zombies, so naturally he didn't want to separate.

An idea struck him, and he smoothed things over: "How about this, we'll leave all our backpacks behind. Even if we leave, you won't lose out. Does that reassure you?"

Lily was silent for a while, then stubbornly said, "I'll go with you too, another helper."

"Although I don't want to hurt you, but, as far as we're concerned, you are also a burden, Miss Lily." Ada Wong's voice was very clear, like melted snow from the top of an iceberg, clean and slightly cold.

Taking out the weapons from her backpack, she neatly hung them on the harness of her delicate body. Auntie Wang got up and threw the backpack to the two sisters.

She stood there, her eyebrows and eyes clear and cold, her oval face as cold as ice, her scattered short hair black and shiny, clinging to her face and setting off her skin even whiter.

It's just that Li Pu noticed that when Ada Wong took the weapons, she secretly hid a pack of cleaning wipes on her body...

He took a bottle of water and a pack of biscuits from his backpack and carried them with him, also handing the backpack to the two of them.

"Let's go."

[Ada Wong Affection Points +5] [Current Goddess Affection Points: 10/100]

Not easy, Li Pu sighed inwardly. Looks like I'll have to see this through.

The two sisters silently watched Li Pu and Ada leave.

Ada Wong took the lead, climbing the ladder in the souvenir shop leading to the louvered window, with Li Pu close behind, occasionally glancing up at the mysterious area encased in lace thong...

Arriving outside the shop, Ada nimbly dropped to the ground, a superhero landing showcasing her perfect black silk-clad thighs.

Li Pu admired the view while sighing, "To be so agile even in high heels, she truly lives up to Auntie Wang's name..."

However, under Li Pu's gaze, Ada Wong removed her attack speed shoes' heels, turning them into more maneuverable flats. With a light press of her finger, the two heels extended and retracted, becoming two daggers.

"My heels?! My long, black silk-clad legs?! How could she just take them off like that!" Li Pu almost cried out in anguish. It was like a knife to his heart, destroying the most beautiful thing before his eyes...

Ada Wong twirled the daggers in her hand, looking at Li Pu's aggrieved expression with a puzzled look.

Conserving bullets was one of her consistent principles. With such a capable and reliable Leg Queen in front, she felt she should save bullets for the boss.

Li Pu, who had originally wanted to express his dissatisfaction, saw Ada twirl her enchanting long, black silk-clad legs and kick down a Zombie, his resentment vanished into thin air.

"Good! You did well to take off those heels!"

Ada Wong ignored the inexplicable little boss behind her, took out her grappling hook gun, installed one of the daggers onto it via a buckle, and held the other dagger in a reverse grip.

She calmly faced the slowly approaching, green, herbivorous Zombie.

With a dagger installed on the tip of the grappling hook gun, the rope launched by the spring mechanism turned it into a flying knife gun that could be fired infinitely, albeit with the added step of retrieval.

She still used the flying knife gun as a grappling hook, shooting it at a large tree not far away. Gripping the gun handle tightly, she bent over and swung the rope in a wide arc, tripping a large number of Zombies in front of her.

Admiring Ada Wong's upturned rear as she bent over, Li Pu hurried to her side.

Without the heels, Ada felt a bit unaccustomed to the stable landing, and her body swayed, about to fall.

Li Pu was quick-witted and grabbed hold of the unbalanced beauty.

The two unintentionally created a classic close-fitting tango pose.

[Ada Wong Affection Points +5] [Current Goddess Affection Points: 15/100]

Li Pu caught a whiff of Auntie Wang's faint, cool fragrance.

She was the first to curve up the corners of her mouth. Li Pu saw the smile of Ada Wong, who didn't like to smile, for the first time: "Had enough? Boss. I can't fulfill my duty to protect you at this close range."

Hearing her words, Li Pu coughed awkwardly and helped her stand upright.

He also took his hand off her thigh.

The two continued forward, clearing out the Zombies.

A burst of true qi fire erupted, igniting the Zombies on the ground.

Savoring the flames he had spat out, "It seems a little bigger than yesterday."

He breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, the shard isn't a one-time item. It will slowly recover as I rest."

Combining the situation of the past few days, he roughly deduced: "The big fire a few days ago was probably because the shard or Guāh-h-niáu's pre-death stored energy hadn't been used up. After I squandered it all, now I can only slowly accumulate and produce it in my dantian?"

The two continued to move in the direction Lily had indicated. As Lily had said, the deeper they explored into the park, the fewer Zombies they encountered.

Most of the Zombies had been eaten, leaving only a skeleton with meat scraps, discarded by the roadside.

"Without intelligence, humans are no match for gregarious beasts," Li Pu said, clearing out the scattered Zombies, and sighed at the Zombie corpses gnawed on by the roadside.

Ada Wong, who was following behind Li Pu, had a flash of blue light in her spy contact lenses, confirming the target's location.

Just now, she had organized and input the information Lily had provided into the terminal in her hand. If she could connect to a satellite, she wouldn't have to worry about maps and locations.

She sighed silently, her gaze sweeping to the headstrong little fire dragon who was working hard to save the children in front.

A faint smile spilled from her rosy lips.

Chapter 41: The Flying Ada Wong

South passage in the park.

The two, who had been clearing out the scattered Zombies along the way, finally saw the shadow of the Carnival Square.

This was a small square built around a central fountain wishing pool. Various snack carts and souvenir stalls surrounded the wishing pool, forming a small market.

The small stage next to the square and the architectural style of a medieval European town were refreshing. In a city of steel and concrete forests, such a retro and lively town was truly rare.

If there weren't a few Zombies wandering around, it would be a nice, lively tourist attraction.

But Li Pu didn't have the leisure to appreciate the town at this time. His mind was full of Ada's high heels.

Without the wonderful clacking sound of high heels landing, those just-right little fleshy bits no longer jiggled. Li Pu was very disappointed.

Having been brainwashed by Chun Li's thigh aesthetics, he suddenly encountered the Leg Queen Auntie Wang, and the nutrition the child was missing was completely replenished! But not enough!

Looking at Ada, whose rear was no longer so perky and round because she had lost her heels, Li Pu secretly resolved: "I must find an excuse to make her put the heels back on, even if she doesn't fight monsters!"

Since Ada Wong was a normal woman with slightly weaker strength, she mostly used the power of rotation to increase the damage of her kicks.

The skirt of her red, high-slit evening dress fluttered, and her long, black silk-clad legs were beautiful to watch as she spun.

It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer Zombies, and Li Pu can no longer see Ada Wong's kicks like that.

The thermal imaging system on the spy contact lenses scanned the dangers in the square. Ada Wong inadvertently swept over Li Pu, who had a sighing expression, and felt a little baffled.

The two cautiously and slowly walked into the center of the square.

Only a few Zombies wandered around. The noisy music in the square had subsided, replaced by an Anomaly silence. The five senses became more and more acute in this environment, triggering unease and tension in Li Pu's heart.

Only the whistling of the wind and the groans of the Zombies as they swayed. The noisy sounds of joy had been replaced by silence, and this silence revealed a deathly terror.

The fountain and the goddess statue above the fountain were covered in blood, and a torn Zombie was scattered on it.

The smell of rot and blood filled the air, exuding a nauseating stench.

A hot dog cart was parked alone in the corner, and the square was silent except for the low growls of Zombies.

The marble floor of the square seemed cold and gloomy due to the silence.

Just as they were about to continue deeper.

In an instant, the earth trembled.

Several rocks flew over, flattening the hot dog cart.

Hearing the sound, Li Pu turned his head and saw a Mutated Elephant crashing through the square buildings and rushing towards him.

Its skin was rotten, covered with sores and bloodstains, and a strong stench hit his face.

The elephant's body was abnormally swollen, covered with creepy nodules and protrusions. Various dilapidated limbs stretched out from the surface of its body, making it unimaginable where it came from.

In addition to these, its biggest mutation feature was that many bone spurs grew out of its ivory, which looked exceptionally hard.

The Mutated Elephant was still sprinting forward, the scars on its muscles bursting out with earth-shattering power, looking like a pile of frantically wriggling flesh.

A force came, and Ada Wong suddenly pushed Li Pu aside, raised her grappling hook gun and fired it towards the building next to her, perfectly dodging before the Mutated Elephant's impact arrived.
