Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 834 Forced Upgrade?
Chapter 834: Chapter 834 Forced Upgrade?
The noise from the helicopter indeed attracted the swarming zombies below, and some even attempted to attack the commercial building or climb up. However, the building’s walls were made of tempered glass, causing many zombies to fall back down.
“Xiao Hao, it’s hard to find a landing spot below,”
Su Xiangzhe stated, observing the situation on the rooftop.
All zombies, where could we possibly land?
“Over there would work,”
Lu Hao pointed to a small room at the roof that was supposed to be an electrical room, planning to land on its roof even though it was now covered with zombies.
“Apprentice, I’ll handle this,”
Nie Qing said and then manipulated his Wind Element Ability powerfully toward that spot.
Huge wind balls were released in succession, and the zombies on the electrical room’s roof instantly fell off. To prevent them from climbing back up, Lin Xiuyuan used blocks of ice to further expand the rooftop and isolate the zombies below. As long as the ice remained, the zombies wouldn’t be able to climb up again for a while.
“Shiny entrance,”
Lin Xiuyuan was the first to jump down from the helicopter, looking down at the zombies beneath him and a Mental Element Zombie caged not far away.
It looked no different from other Mutated Zombies, staring in the direction of the helicopter with completely whitened eyes, its open mouth indicating how hungry it was.
Roar!
A dull roar erupted from the zombie’s throat, resembling an angry beast in a cave. Following that, all the zombies on the rooftop and the ground echoed the sound.
Mao Qiqi also jumped down from the helicopter, standing next to Su Jin while watching that zombie. A Mental Element Barrier completely isolated the few people above the small electrical room, set up by Mao Qiqi to prevent the zombie from launching a Mental Element Attack against her family.
However, aside from some Mutated Zombies attacking the barrier, the roaring Mental Element Mutated Zombie seemed incapable of using a Mental Element Attack.
“Quick battle, quick decision,”
Surrounded firmly in the middle by Lu Hao and others, Su Jin started generating vines as per their combat plan.
Her Special Ability was diverse, and she needed to vent it now.
Sturdy vines spread from the rooftop of the small electrical room, the first one sweeping from between the zombie pile to the side!
On the ground, the wounded in the medical vehicles all looked up to the sky, spotting tiny black dots emerging mid-air. These dots rapidly descended, spiraling down, accompanied by the visual of little black dots hitting the ground or smashing into the zombie horde, with the thudding sounds audible even along their road.
Those black dots were the countless zombies from the rooftop!
“Here they come!”
Xing Taian raised his head along with the excited shouts of everyone else.
Above the commercial building, zombies scattered from the sky like celestial maidens, some snapped mid-air by electrical wires, others falling into the zombie pile and smashing several zombies, with the struck zombies also not spared, horribly mangled by the impact of the high-altitude fall.
“Hey, Heart Talk Team’s method sure looks exhilarating!”
A Guard Squad Member commented.
They weren’t standing directly below, so they didn’t worry about the danger of being hit.
And when they saw gaps smashed open in the zombie pile below, everyone’s spirits lifted. Of course, the display of everyone’s Special Abilities and attacks did not cease.
“Celestial Scattering Corpses indeed,”
Kou Ning remarked admirably, noting that killing zombies could also be accomplished in this manner.
On the rooftop, the dozens of vines induced by Su Jin swiftly spun below, managing even to fling a few Level Six Mutated Zombies directly off the roof before they could attack.
“Killing like this is pretty fast, definitely killed quite a few below,”
Nie Qing stated.
“Yes, one zombie smashed six more,”
Mao Qiqi said with a smile.
“Next, it’s its turn,”
Some time later, when all the zombies had dispersed through Su Jin’s Special Ability, Lu Hao was ready to deal with that Mentally Mutated Zombie.
“It’s still better not to get too close, there are too many unknowns with the Mental Element,”
Su Jin said, shaking Lu Hao’s hand.
Lu Hao nodded, a Fireball ignited, and then turned into a blazing fire that enveloped the specially-made cage.
The zombie inside the cage was burnt to ashes, leaving only a Crystal Core, but the cage was still burning with residual fire.
“This is a cage specially made by the Han Family, we’ve seen it at their base too,”
Lu Hao explained.
“That was simple, isn’t it all taken care of now?”
Lin Xiuyuan had thought it would be a very tricky mission.
Just as everyone thought so, Mao Qiqi discovered that the zombies downstairs hadn’t scattered but were gathered just as before, growling greedily.
“Could it be not because of that zombie, but because of this Crystal Core?”
Nie Qing thought of a possibility and then used his Wind Element Ability to pull the Crystal Core in front of everyone.
Although the Crystal Core was not large, it looked indeed different from a regular Mentally Mutated Crystal Core; the white core seemed to be mixed with a bit of emerald green, extremely beautiful.
“I’ve never seen anything like this,”
Su Jin said, looking at the Crystal Core, which seemed more like a gemstone than a core?
“This must contain massive energy that makes zombies involuntarily want to come closer and absorb it,”
Nie Qing speculated.
“Could this be a new type of Special Ability?”
Lin Xiuyuan leaned closer and said.
“Anyway, better take it now, otherwise, the point of us killing that zombie would be moot,”
Lu Hao said, if it really was because of this Crystal Core, the surrounding zombies would keep being attracted endlessly.
Su Jin nodded, reached out, and took the Crystal Core into Space, such a core in the Apocalypse where zombies roamed everywhere was not a good thing no matter where, it was better to keep it in Space for now.
However, what the people outside Wood Spirit Space didn’t know was that changes were quietly taking place inside Wood Spirit Space at this moment…
Indeed, after the Crystal Core entered the Wood Spirit Space, the zombies below started to scatter, and Xing Taian’s group had already evacuated, leaving only a few Man-eating Flowers contentedly devouring zombies.
No matter how many experts there were, such a small group was not planning to stay here and fight with these more than hundred thousand zombies.
“It’s such a pity, you guys actually left,”
Kou Ning sighed from within the car. He wished he could have stayed, but Lu Guanhai had comforted him too, saying that there were plenty more zombies around the base if he wanted to kill some.
When the group arrived at the designated place, Lu Hao and others seemed to have been waiting there for a while, and even the surrounding zombies had been dealt with and their Crystal Cores excavated.
“Is everything all right with my daughter-in-law?”
Lu Guanhai ran over and asked with concern, noticing that Su Jin’s complexion didn’t look too good.
“Dad, I’m fine…”
Su Jin still appeared dazed, she hadn’t yet recovered from the shock of what just happened in the Space.
Who could tell her why, when she placed that Crystal Core into the Space, the Space automatically absorbed the Crystal Core and even upgraded itself?!
