It was only when she was thrown into the grass that the ponytail - girl finally came to her senses. She had been saved! And the one who saved her was actually another strange girl! Looking at the slender figure confronting the zombie in front of her, the ponytail - girl's heart was pounding wildly.
"No, I have to hide further away. I can't cause trouble for her!" Gritting her teeth against the pain in her leg, she quickly moved backward until she hid herself behind a big tree. Then she cautiously peeked out again.
The zombie, enraged that its almost - eaten prey had been snatched away, let out a shrill howl of anger.
Lin Qingqing was about to swing her ice - blade at the zombie in front of her when Chu Wei shouted loudly from behind her:
"Miss Lin, you've already seen the Level - 2 zombie. Isn't it time to end our deal?"
During a fight, the most feared thing was interference from others. Chu Wei's sudden shout almost distracted Lin Qingqing. He chose to shout at this very moment when she was about to engage with the zombie, which showed his malicious intentions.
"Sure. Then Mr. Chu, help me keep an eye on this zombie while I get the crystal core for you?" Lin Qingqing dodged the zombie's attack sideways without looking back.
"Miss Lin, you're trying to drag us all into this, aren't you?"
Chu Wei didn't believe that Lin Qingqing could kill the Level - 2 zombie alone. In his opinion, this Miss Lin, under the pretext of saving people, lured the zombie over, hoping they would help her kill it. What a shameless woman!
"I just can't spare a hand right now," Lin Qingqing said helplessly.
She wasn't blind to Chu Wei's ill - intentions. If the zombie had stayed put, she would surely have sent Chu Wei and the others away first before taking action. But unfortunately, the reality was different. Seeing that the zombie was about to chase that group of people away, how could Lin Qingqing just sit back and do nothing?
Although what they saw was the zombie chasing and attacking people, it was still one against six, and there was more than one ability user among those people. What if those young people found an opportunity to counter - kill the zombie? Then all her efforts would be in vain.
As for that girl, she was the zombie's prey. By saving her, the zombie would surely follow them obediently, right?
Chu Wei thought Lin Qingqing wanted them to help, but in fact, Lin Qingqing didn't count on them at all. The fire - type crystal core was still with her, and there was a big "killer" like this Level - 2 zombie beside her. Chu Wei and the other two were in a dilemma, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
However, Lin Qingqing didn't care what they thought. As long as these people were within her sight, it was fine. If they made any small moves, her ice - blades were enough to kill the three unsuspecting people in one move. The gap between a second - order ability user and a first - order ability user couldn't be compensated for by the number of people. It was like comparing the lethality of a sharpshooter with that of an ordinary person. It was obvious who was more powerful.
Now, this Level - 2 zombie was her main target. Lin Qingqing fought earnestly, hoping for a quick victory, but the zombie was not cooperative. Perhaps feeling that she was too difficult to deal with, it turned around and went after the others. Anyway, they were all food. What did it matter who it ate?Now that the zombie shifted its target, Chu Wei, who was the closest, became the first target.
"Fuck, why does it always come for me?" Chu Wei cursed. He didn't want to help Lin Qingqing. When he saw the zombie suddenly look at him, he immediately turned around and started running.
And when he ran, the zombie paused for a moment but didn't chase after him. With so many people around, it could just pick another one. So this time, unfortunately, it picked Xiao Li.
Xiao Li followed Chu Wei's example and turned to run, but this time the zombie didn't intend to let him go.
"Does this zombie really know how to pick on the weak?" Xiao Li groaned inwardly. His ability hadn't recovered yet, and now his physical strength was also running out.
Perhaps the consecutive chases had exhausted the zombie's patience. Seeing the prey running away again, it stopped and let out an angry "hiss～hiss～" sound from its throat.
Just as everyone was wondering what it was going to do, a flash of electric light suddenly passed, and the next second, Xiao Li, who was running ahead, fell to the ground.
"Lightning - type!" Lin Qingqing, who was following the zombie, gasped when she saw this. This zombie was not only of the rare lightning - type, but it also had an offensive skill. This was going to be a tough fight!
Behind a big tree where no one noticed, the ponytail - girl looked at the arc of electricity in the zombie's hand with a complicated expression. No wonder her ability had no effect on the zombie. It turned out that the opponent was also of the lightning - type like her, and its level was even higher.
The girl stared at the zombie, her fingertips digging into the tree trunk. Her expression was a mix of joy and sorrow as she murmured to herself, "The same lightning - type. I should have thought of it earlier..."
On the other side, seeing that the zombie didn't chase after him anymore, Chu Wei circled around and secretly ran back.
"How did Xiao Li die?" He looked at the corpse on the ground in surprise, his eyes shifting back and forth between the zombie and Lin Qingqing.
Chu Wei didn't see the scene where the zombie released its skill. He was speculating in his mind what had happened just now. Did the zombie kill Xiao Li, or did this Miss Lin couldn't hold back and take action? After thinking it over, he was more inclined to believe that it was Lin Qingqing who had done it.This Miss Lin not only had unfathomable strength, but her way of doing things was also quite perplexing. Chu Wei looked at her back, his eyes flickering. For someone like her, one could either befriend her or had to get rid of her.
...
The Level - 2 zombie wasn't much smarter than a Level - 1 zombie despite being more agile. Even with a skill, it could only use it based on instinct. So after getting fresh food, the zombie no longer paid attention to Lin Qingqing.
This was a good opportunity. While the zombie was eating, Lin Qingqing planned to take it down in one go. But at this moment, a sudden exclamation came from behind a big tree in the distance.
"Sister, be careful!" Lin Qingqing's pupils constricted. The next second, with a "clang～", a dagger struck against a piece of ice armor.
Chu Wei's gaze towards Lin Qingqing changed from astonishment to horror. He never expected that this Miss Lin had been hiding her strength all along.
"Is this what a mutated ability user is like? How could she be so strong?" Chu Wei's hand holding the dagger couldn't help but start to tremble. He looked at Lin Qingqing in disbelief, and only two words came to his mind: "It's over!"
The next moment, two ice blades suddenly appeared in his line of sight. With a familiar gush of warm blood, Chu Wei fell into a pool of blood before he could even have time to regret.
"You're, two, two..."
"Yes, I'm a second - order ability user," Lin Qingqing confirmed his guess.
Ice - type! Second - order! No wonder, no wonder... Seeing him close his eyes unwillingly, Lin Qingqing neatly disposed of Chu Wei's body. The fresh smell of blood made the zombie turn its head again.
It seemed a bit hesitant about which of the two corpses was fresher. In that moment of distraction, Lin Qingqing had already rushed up again, holding the ice - blade.
As the ice - blade was about to strike the zombie, the ponytail - girl behind the tree couldn't help but clench her fists tightly. Her eyes darted back and forth between Lin Qingqing and the zombie. It was hard to tell who she was nervous about.
