All passengers in the car drew in a sharp breath after listening.

6000 crystal cores?!

Hiring two people? Who were these people?

Was the base leader being so generous for their sakes, the survivors?

Unaware that she was inadvertently promoting Liang Jiuhui, Su Jin continued, “So even if you don’t believe in me, you should at least believe in these 6000 crystal cores. Those birds outside will relentlessly pursue us, and if we don’t resolve this soon, none of us will escape!”

After hearing Su Jin’s words, the driver gritted his teeth and slammed on the brakes.

For those 6000 crystal cores, he believed her too!

Seeing the car in front stop, the vehicles behind all followed suit and halted.

Before everyone could figure out what was going on, they saw a man and a woman running to an open space by the roadside.

“Oh my God, what are they doing? Are they trying to commit suicide?” The people inside the car were shocked as they watched the two outside.

Su Jin and Lu Hao stood in the most conspicuous place, and the zombie birds, smelling their scent, gave up attacking the cars and instead flew towards the two!

In another car, Shao Zian and some other special ability users were also ready. Su Jin and Lu Hao had told them not to come out and just to attack from the car. Although those special ability soldiers were eager to go down too, Liang Wei had said that no matter what happened, they must follow Su Jin and Lu Hao’s arrangements.

“Here they come,” Su Jin said.

“Hmm.”

Lu Hao intently watched the zombie birds that continually circled and gathered in mid-air. Group attack?

Suddenly, some zombie birds dove down!

Su Jin’s vines turned into a large green net. Upon closer inspection, one could see many sharp barbs growing on the surface of the net. Some zombie birds crashed into it and were instantly penetrated!

Then, the remaining zombie birds all charged over. Lu Hao suddenly produced a huge fireball in his hand and threw it into the air!

Boom!

With one scream after another, a large group of zombie birds instantly turned into ash!

“The effect is great,” Su Jin said with a smile.

Shao Zian and the special ability users inside the car were at a loss for words. No wonder those two told them not to come down. This fire element ability user was too formidable!

There were still many zombie birds left. They were not retreating but instead rushed at them all at once!

Lu Hao confidently used his special ability fire to kill wave after wave of zombie birds, as Su Jin continually used her wood element ability to defend him, allowing him to focus without worry.

“Be careful!”

Zian yelled from inside the car. From the woods behind the clearing, several staggering zombie shadows were attracted by the noise!

But the two didn’t let them come down to help, so they had to stay inside the car.

Su Jin also noticed the zombies approaching from behind. Fortunately, they were just ordinary zombies. She produced a plant in her hand and, after a green vine wrapped around the plant, she threw it to the ground. It quickly grew until it reached the height of Su Jin’s shoulder!

A Venus flytrap, seemed to have grown larger? Su Jin thought.

But now was not the time to be distracted. She needed to keep up defenses for Lu Hao and herself.

The Venus flytrap behind Su Jin and Lu Hao swayed a few times, positioning the animal trap towards the direction from which the zombies were coming.

The first zombie ran over and was instantly caught by the vine from the mouth of the Venus flytrap and pulled into the animal trap.

“My God, what did I just see?!” a woman rubbed her eyes, wondering, plants eating zombies?

“It must be that little girl’s Wood Element Ability,” someone suggested.

“Those two are incredible, and that man’s Fire Element is so powerful,” another chimed in.

“Yes, I’ve never seen such a powerful Fire Element Ability!”

No wonder that girl said the Base Leader spent 6,000 Crystal Cores to hire them to protect the survivors.

They’re absolutely worth the price!

On the open ground, Lu Hao, seemingly tireless, kept releasing his Fire Element Ability, causing many black objects to fall wherever the flames reached.

Just now, the dense flock of Zombie Birds in the sky had thinned a bit, but Su Jin and Lu Hao still dared not be careless. A peck from these Zombie Birds would be as bad as a bite from a zombie.

Just then, a Zombie Bird with one of its wings burned off charged at them using its other wing!

Shao Zian was about to release his Metal Element Ability when a wooden spike suddenly shot out of the ground and accurately pierced the body of the Zombie Bird!

Is this—Wood Element?!

The Special Ability Users inside the vehicle were as astonished as Shao Zian. The Wood Element Ability had so many uses? It even seemed more formidable than the highly sought-after Fire and Metal Elements!

The Venus Flytraps digested zombies much faster than before. Despite Su Jin having to keep an eye on the zombies that the flytraps didn’t manage to eat, having the flytraps around relieved much of her stress.

The reason she didn’t let Shao Zian and the others come down to help was precisely because if they did, the Zombie Birds would scatter their attacks, which would disadvantage Lu Hao’s current fire strategy. Meanwhile, the Zombie Birds wouldn’t attack the flytraps at all.

“It’s about time, are you doing okay?” Su Jin asked Lu Hao.

“Yeah, no problem,” he replied.

Lu Hao’s expression remained unchanged as he kept a vigilant watch on the skies.

The only discomfort he felt was in his neck, which seemed a bit sore.

So, the people in the vehicle watched the man wielding Fire Element Ability free one hand, tilt his neck, and begin massaging himself…

All the while, his other hand continued to release Special Ability Fire.

Well, alright…

Who could complain when a single hand was enough to handle the Zombie Birds without any pressure.

When the last Zombie Bird in the sky was eliminated, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief. The nearby Venus Flytrap seemed still to be digesting; Su Jin didn’t notice how many zombies it had eaten, but it seemed like a lot…

After dealing with the Zombie Birds and the zombies around them, the two didn’t get back into the vehicle right away, but instead, surveyed the vicinity before returning. Su Jin truly admired Lu Hao—he had taken her around, and they had indeed discovered something suspicious.

When Su Jin got back into the vehicle, she was greeted with a round of applause and compliments.

“Little girl, how are you two so amazing? We get terribly frightened just by seeing a zombie,” a woman asked.

“Yes, yes, I have a Special Ability too, but it seems useless compared to yours. I would still run away at the sight of a zombie,” said a younger man.

“Actually, everyone feels the same. I was scared when I saw a zombie for the first time too. But once you dare to take the first step, kill the first zombie, you’ll find they’re not as frightening as they seem,”

Su Jin said with a smile, showing no pride in her considerable strength.

Some people, upon hearing this, began to ponder deeply. Yes, they had never killed a zombie themselves and were terrified just by their daunting appearance.

Could it be that zombies aren’t that frightening?

Seeing the people in the vehicle deep in thought, Su Jin said no more. Perhaps these people weren’t as bad as she had thought. A slight smile unconsciously curled up on her lips.
