Hiss!

An ice spike brushed past the man’s cheek and embedded itself into the wall behind him.

The man swallowed hard, could it be that these two were just bluffing? Hadn’t they already exhausted their special abilities?

“You know it’s you guys who led these zombies here? If it weren’t for your grandpas and grandmas being so tough, fighting these guys off would be a piece of cake,” Lin Xiuyuan said with exaggerated expression.

No sooner had Lin Xiuyuan finished speaking than a wind ball came flying towards him!

...

“We’ll see just how long your so-called ‘piece of cake’ will last!”

The man with a sinister look in his eyes stepped forward, having been the one to send out that wind ball. He believed that Lin Xiuyuan was just putting on a brave front, especially since he had seen the others barely able to stand, which was why only these two men had come out to fight.

Though Lin Xiuyuan might have seemed careless, he was well prepared; he easily dodged the small wind ball.

It was unexpected that these people actually wanted to fight, but then the man discovered he couldn’t move at all—his body below the waist had been frozen to the ground!

“Yo yo! Good job, son!”

Huang Yunxiang called out from the steps not far away, drinking water and shouting.

Lin Xiuyuan turned around and gestured a big heart towards Huang Yunxiang with his hands.

Seeing this, the remaining people also launched their attacks at the two men.

They refused to believe these two could have much energy left to resist. If they were right, all the zombie crystal nuclei scattered on the ground would be theirs!

“Do we really not need to help out?” Lin Cheng asked worriedly, watching his son.

“No need, this will be over quickly,” Su Jin said with a smile.

Lu Hao caught the wrist of a speed ability user, who was holding a gleaming dagger aimed to stab directly at Lu Hao’s vital points!

The reaction of Lu Hao shocked the speed ability user and his companions for a moment. Could he really catch the attack of a speed ability user?!

They didn’t know that Lu Hao was already a level 4 special ability user. The suppression from the difference in levels meant that catching the attack wasn’t anything special.

Lu Hao looked at the blade of the dagger, his gaze darkened, and then with a single hand, he exerted force and brutally broke the speed ability user’s wrist!

“Ahhh!”

A scream rang out, chilling the other onlookers to the core.

“Tsk tsk, looks like the apprentice is angry too,” Nie Qing commented.

“Not just him, I’m angry too. These people clearly want to kick us when we’re down!” Lu Guanhai said angrily.

At that moment, Su Jin realized something was off. She remembered Qiqi mentioning that there were eight people in this group, so why were there only six confronting Lu Hao and Lin Xiuyuan? Could the rest have been eaten by zombies?

Right then, the sounds of a struggle from the car wash entrance caught the attention of Su Jin and the others. It turned out that the remaining two individuals were trying to steal the car while they were distracted?

However, to Su Jin’s surprise, Lin Tianzhen and Mao Qiqi were actually fighting back from inside the car—it seemed they had already left the space.

The man and woman attempting to steal the car hadn’t expected there to be people inside. The woman with her hair up was a Metal Element Ability User who had intended to use her ability to open the car door, but was caught off guard when the door suddenly opened and water arrows shot out, hitting both of them squarely!

Lin Tianzhen also breathed a sigh of relief. She and Qiqi had just come out when they saw people sneaking around trying to open the car door. Local Tyrant Gold was also anxiously bouncing around inside the car. Glancing towards Su Jin’s direction, she realized the situation—these people were trying to coordinate an attack?

Unprepared, Lin Tianzhen’s water arrows pierced the shoulder of the car thief woman, turning it into a bloody mess. The woman’s scream drew attention, and upon realizing their plan had been exposed, the few men who were still confronting Lu Hao and Lin Xiuyuan abandoned their immobile comrade in an attempt to flee.

But soon they discovered that they couldn’t move their feet—every one of them had been frozen by the Ice-Element Ability User!

“Tsk tsk, I would advise you all not to move, or else if the ice breaks, hiss~” Lin Xiuyuan said with an exaggerated expression.

At this point, the other two people were also tied up into pretzels by Su Jin and thrown over.

“You guys, we were wrong, please let us go!”

The middle-aged woman pleaded. She had disagreed with the plan from the beginning; after all, these people all seemed very strong. But the crystal cores scattered on the ground and the three imposing vehicles had clouded the others’ judgment, and everyone wanted to take a gamble.

“I never said we wouldn’t let you go. When the ice melts, you will be free to leave.”

After saying this, Lin Xiuyuan and Lu Hao left the area. They still had to dig up more crystal cores before leaving; they couldn’t stay here for too long.

After all, everyone’s stomachs were grumbling…

So, the eight onlookers could only watch as Su Jin and the others swiftly finished digging up the crystal cores and then drove away into the distance.

“These people are just too much. I hope I never run into them again!”

The woman who attempted to steal the vehicle said, having already cut through the vines that had bound her using metal-element abilities. Nevertheless, the wounds from the water arrows still throbbed painfully…

The three distant vehicles continued driving forward.

Su Jin even took out a beige wash basket from her space to hold the crystal cores, which made it extremely convenient for Huang Yunxiang or Lin Tianzhen to clean with water-element abilities.

The crystal cores had already been cleaned by Lin Tianzhen, and a half-basket of sparkling cores made Su Jin smile so wide she could hardly close her mouth.

Although they had been tired just moments ago, the harvest was substantial!

She decided to provide a hearty extra meal for everyone.

“Dad, is there a place nearby where we can stop for a meal? Let’s all get out and have something to eat,” Su Jin suggested.

Su Xiangzhe was also very hungry, but finding a place to settle down required more than just him; they had to rely on Qiqi’s special abilities to make that determination.

“Turn right up ahead into an alley—there are no people and no zombies there,”

Qiqi stood up and directed Su Xiangzhe.

“Alrighty!”

Su Jin conveyed the situation over the walkie-talkie to the two vehicles following behind, and everyone expressed enthusiastic support for the idea of having a meal. Wanyi in the last car even rolled down the window and released several wind blades to deal with the zombies that were following behind.

The alley was narrow, just wide enough for three vehicles to pass through, which, conversely, made it safer for everyone.

After clearing out some encroaching zombies nearby, they found an uninhabited courtyard free of zombies. Lin Cheng erected two earth walls, each over two meters tall, on either side of the narrow alley, completely blocking off the approach and securing their temporary safety.

“Honey, your ability really comes in handy,” Huang Yunxiang couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Of course, nobody wants their meal interrupted. Earth-element abilities might not pack much punch in an attack, but the defense is pretty solid,” Lin Cheng said with a beaming smile.

The courtyard, though somewhat dilapidated and with stone steps overgrown with moss, was neat and tidy; the ground appeared free of any trash.

For safety’s sake, the group still decided to go inside the house. The iron security door was easily opened by Mao Zhihang.

“Qiqi, are you sure there’s no one here?” Lin Xiuyuan asked, still unconvinced.

After all, the house looked too tidy, giving him the feeling that they were intruding on someone’s home.

“There’s nobody here, Brother Xiuyuan. I’m sure, positive, absolutely certain!” Mao Qiqi replied.
