Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 242: Visiting The Market Area ( 2 )
Thirty minutes later, Jiao Lizhi and her team finished clearing all the stores in the south area and were about to head west. But before they could leave, the sounds of battle drew closer.
Boom!
Soon after, a group of people came running toward them, followed by a large horde of zombies. Upon spotting them, one of the people screamed, "Help!"
Jin Xuyan frowned as he observed the ability-users in the group randomly throwing their abilities at the zombies. Not only were their attacks ineffective, but the noise was also attracting even more zombies.
Seeing that the Phantom Team didn't move to help, a woman sprinted ahead of the others. When she reached them, she stretched out her hand to grab Jin Xuyan's arm while shouting, "Brother, save me!"
Slap!
Before her hand could touch him, Jiao Lizhi stepped in and slapped the dirty claw away. Looking at her coldly, she said, "Touch him, and I will cut off your hands."
The woman was stunned by her hostility and stared at her in fear.
Ignoring her, Jiao Lizhi grabbed her boyfriend's hand and said with clear displeasure, "Brother Yan, can't you dodge when someone tries to grab you?"
Jin Xuyan was amused by her possessiveness and replied with a smile, "If you hadn't slapped her, I would have kicked her. Since I'm yours, no one else can touch me."
Hearing his words, she let out a snort and said, "Sweet talker. Let's deal with the zombies first."
As soon as she finished speaking, the group finally reached their position. Judging by their clean clothes and tidy appearance, they were clearly well-equipped and strong. Noticing this, they quickly hid behind the Phantom Team.
"Roar!"
The Phantom Team members were stunned by the sheer number of zombies coming their way. The horde was nearly triple the size of the one they had just cleared.
Although the number of zombies was less than 1,000, due to the small area, their movements were limited. They couldn't recklessly use their abilities, or they would burn out the market area.
Jin Xuyan assessed the situation in a moment and said, "Ah Zhi and I will go to the front. The rest of you stay here and assist us."
"Understood!"
Everyone pulled out their guns at his order, and at the same time, Jin Xuyan rushed toward the zombies while unsheathing his longsword. Following behind him, Jiao Lizhi pulled out her dagger and infused her energy into it.
Crack!
As the dagger was covered by a thin layer of water blade, she swung it and severed several zombies' heads in one smooth motion.
"Roar!"
Several zombies pounced on her from every side.
Seeing this, she bent her knees and leaped into the air. As she flipped, she waved her hand and several ice needles flew toward the zombies' foreheads.
Stab! Stab! Stab!
The ice needles pierced the zombies' skulls, killing them instantly.
Landing on the ground with one knee bent, Jiao Lizhi placed her palm on the ground. The next second, the ground was covered with a layer of water, which quickly turned into solid ice.
As the ground froze, the zombies slipped and fell one after another like dominoes. freёnovelkiss.com
Seeing the zombies struggling to stand up, Jin Xuyan let out a chuckle and moved farther away from her, ensuring that his flames wouldn't melt her ice.
Standing in front of the survivors, the Phantom Team killed the fallen zombies with their air guns while chatting leisurely.
"Sister-in-law's control over her ability is so good," Yin Yusheng said, clicking his tongue.
Chen Qianfeng nodded and added, "Not only does our Sister-in-law have good control, but her imagination is also vast. She can think of so many ways to use her ability to the fullest. Her adaptability in battle is equal to most of us."
"Was our Sister-in-law really just an ordinary university student? The way she fights seems more like that of a trained mercenary," Shen Jinzhe said thoughtfully.
While they were chatting and killing zombies, Boss Lin and his team finally reached the east area. But the area was filled with scattered zombies, and they couldn't find another group of people.
Seeing this, one of his team members asked, "Boss, what should we do now? We are trapped!"
Boss Lin's back and forehead were covered with cold sweat as he observed his surroundings. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Go to the south area. That area has fewer zombies, and we can escape from there."
Hearing this, his team members nodded and changed direction. They didn't use the wide road but chose a narrow alley instead.
Though the risk of being eaten alive was higher if they got trapped in the narrow alley, it also had its advantages.
Due to the narrowness, the zombies couldn't flood the alley all at once. At most, three zombies could pass at a time, and they could handle that.
As they ran, the zombies were slowly left behind. They heaved a sigh of relief but didn't dare to stop. When they entered the south area, they heard the roars of zombies coming from the entrance.
"Boss, should we go or hide?" one of his team members asked.
Boss Lin thought for a moment and said, "We underestimated the number of zombies in this area and overestimated ourselves. If we hide now, we might be trapped here for a long time. Without supplies, we will die."
"So, the only chance we have now is to go to the entrance. Even if we have to fight, we need to leave this market area," he added.
His team members exchanged glances and, after a moment, nodded and said, "Boss, we will follow you!"
Boss Lin was delighted by their decision and moved by their trust. He reached out to pat their shoulders and said, "Good brothers!"
After taking a short breath, they held their iron rods tightly and continued running toward the south entrance. They expected another tough battle to await them.
