Xu Qing gripped his large machete and strode into the village.
The houses in the village are scattered, mostly traditional Chinese wooden structures, interspersed with some modern cement houses, which is completely different from the architectural style of Qinghe Town.
Moreover, many of the wooden houses are relatively well-preserved and have not been completely destroyed; they are just dilapidated and desolate.
Most of the building walls are covered with cracks, and damage from explosions and impacts can be seen everywhere.
In the distance, several abandoned tanks lay crookedly in the open space, covered in rust.
Xu Qing walked slowly into the village, passing through dilapidated streets and alleys, and soon arrived at the gate of the village's shelter.
The towering, thick concrete wall stands majestically, its surface densely covered with countless scratches of varying sizes and depths, a shocking sight.
The tightly closed steel gate was thick and sturdy, but there was a huge hole in the middle, as if the long horn of some giant creature had pierced through it from the outside. Even the intact parts bore numerous marks of damage from powerful impacts and gnaws.
Seeing this, Xu Qing took a deep breath and climbed onto the giant gate.
A huge hole appeared. With one hand gripping the edge of the hole, Xu Qing Xu Qing into it with a sudden burst of strength. Looking inside, he saw countless zombies roaming aimlessly along a wide and straight asphalt road.
The surrounding houses were in a terrible state of disrepair.
Wait, that's a gun?!
Xu Qing quickly noticed several zombies dressed in camouflage among the horde, with guns hanging from their bodies.
A look of joy immediately appeared on Xu Qing's face.
His gaze swept downwards from the giant gate, and he soon spotted several zombies.
A slight smile appeared on his face.
As soon as a zombie walked past the door, countless strands of Blue Silver Grass instantly bound it tightly, and then it was pulled to Xu Qing's side.
Upon seeing Xu Qing, the zombies instantly became incredibly ferocious, roaring – roar – roar!
A series of roars erupted from its mouth.
"You have bad breath, do you even know that?!" Xu Qing immediately covered her nose and moved a few steps away from the stench.
"Oh well! It's just consumables anyway, I'll just make do with it!"
Zombie:...
After that, Xu Qing began to unleash his first Soul Skill — Spore Demon Puppet!
Instantly, countless Blue Silver vines sprouted from the zombie's entire body.
Half an hour later, Xu Qing repeated the process and summoned three more zombies, which just barely reached the limit of his control.
Next, I'll have to ask you four big brothers for help!
Xu Qing controlled four zombies and jumped down from the doorway.
Then, the four zombies started running.
Instantly, the commotion caused by the zombies attracted a swarm of zombies that rushed towards the four zombies like mad dogs.
The zombie at the very front of the pack, whose face had been pale, suddenly broke into a smile.
That's not enough!
The next moment, a crazy DJ set started playing on the four zombies.
The sound seemed to have been specially processed; its most prominent feature was its volume!
The zombies within a radius of hundreds of miles were attracted and rushed towards the four zombies.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The four zombies were quickly surrounded, and countless zombies tore at them.
Xu Qing, standing above the doorway, gazed at the crazed zombies.
"That's about enough!"
Amidst the zombie horde's onslaught, Xu Qing's zombie emitted a series of beeping sounds!
The next moment!
Boom--!
A violent explosion suddenly erupted, and dazzling flames burst from within the four zombie corpses, the shockwave sweeping around.
Countless zombies, along with their severed limbs and fragments, were sent flying with a deafening roar, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Smoke and dust billowed everywhere, instantly clearing a large area from the densely packed horde of zombies. The surviving zombies roared, but were thrown into brief chaos by the impact of the explosion.
Xu Qing gazed at his masterpiece in the distance and nodded slightly. 'It seems the effect is quite good!'
Zombie version of the Smart Card Bomb – it explodes wherever you point! Absolutely amazing!
These bombs were homemade by Xu Qing using materials he found in the laboratory of Qinghe Town School.
However, due to limited materials, he didn't make many.
Today is a good day to clear out the zombies. After all, they're swarming everywhere. If Xu Qing were to kill them all by himself, he doesn't know how long it would take.
Xu Qing jumped down from the doorway, and upon landing, he suddenly swung his long sword, instantly severing the head of the zombie closest to him.
Although the explosion cleared out a large number of zombies, there were still many remaining zombies around. They roared at the sound and pounced on Xu Qing.
Xu Qing gripped his longsword horizontally, quickly shifting his feet to the side to avoid the withered hand that lunged at him. With a swift slash, he blocked another zombie's attack.
A strong stench of decay assaulted the senses, and a relentless stream of zombies surged in from all directions.
Xu Qing activated his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and countless Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the corpses on the ground, centered on Xu Qing, and began to parasitize the living zombies.
The long sword in Xu Qing's hand emitted a faint blue light.
As Xu Qing wielded his longsword, countless spores spread outwards along the blade, causing countless Blue Silver Grass to grow on the bodies of zombies that were touched by them.
After killing for an unknown amount of time, there wasn't a single zombie left that could still move around.
Xu Qing stood there, panting heavily, leaning on his machete.
No, he was surrounded by a massive mountain of corpses!
"Damn! This is way too hard to kill!"
After resting for a while, Xu Qing began to loot the bag.
Ordinary crystal core +1
Ordinary crystal core +1
Ordinary crystal core +1
Pale yellow crystal nucleus +1
Yellow Crystal Core +1
Rifle +1
Grenade +1
"Excellent, excellent!"
Before long, Xu Qing had collected a large number of crystal cores, as well as some guns and weapons from some zombies.
Xu Qing kept searching through the pile of corpses!
Suddenly, a sense of crisis surged into his heart, and he immediately dodged to the side, but a long tear still appeared on his chest, and bright red blood slowly flowed out from his chest.
Damn it! I was careless!
Xu Qing tensed up and looked up at the pile of corpses. What came into view was a huge silver mantis, about the size of your dog, Da Huang, with a pair of blood-red compound eyes staring at the extremely nervous Xu Qing below.
"Mantis?"
Before Xu Qing could react, the mantis vanished.
"This?! How is this possible?!"
A sense of crisis washed over him again, and his body reacted instinctively. He quickly crouched down to the side, barely dodging the mantis's attack, but a new bloody gash was still left on his arm.
Xu Qing pressed his wound, his eyes searching intently, but he couldn't catch the figure at all; it was as if the other person could appear out of thin air.
Just then, his senses seemed to detect something amiss, and he instantly swung his cleaver horizontally to meet the attack.
clang!
The sharp mantis blade clashed with the cleaver, producing a crisp, ear-piercing metallic clang.
Before Xu Qing could exert his strength, the mantis disappeared again.
Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be spatial ability?
Wait, how could this mutated beast possess spatial abilities?!
