And then, a scene unfolded that they never expected. The creature acted as if it had reason, its eyes gazing at the ordinary zombies, and Xue Mo Yin could even sense disdain in them.
Suddenly, the mutant charged again, but its target was the other culture dishes. The three tried to stop it, but it was too late. A culture dish shattered instantly. It then charged towards another.
“You're asking for death!” Hu Yi Fei roared in anger, her figure flashing in an instant to the side of the mutant. Her hand moved like lightning, directly stabbing the Tang Dao in her hand into its head. According to the previous situation, this should have completely killed these creatures. But then, a sudden change occurred.
“Be careful!” In the moment Hu Yi Fei turned, the mutant’s eyes suddenly began to move again. Xue Mo Yin instantly knew something was wrong, but at this distance, he couldn’t stop it in time, so he could only remind her as quickly as possible.
It has to be said that Yi Fei’s combat instincts were indeed formidable. She didn’t look back like ordinary people, but instead swiftly rolled forward, dodging the fatal attack. At this point, Hu Yi Fei’s fury had completely erupted. Gripping the Tang Dao tightly, she charged forward, a whip leg delivering a piercing wind sound. The mutant was like it had been hit by a truck, flying away instantly.
But Yi Fei was even faster. Before it could land, she was already in front of it, directly chopping off its head with one strike. “I don’t believe you can still survive this!”
Seeing Hu Yi Fei dodge that attack, Xue Mo Yin knew that creature posed no threat to her anymore. He and Zi Qiao also rushed towards another broken culture dish as fast as they could. They didn’t care about the remaining ordinary zombies.
Surprisingly, after emerging, the mutant had no intention of fighting the two. Instead, it chose to retreat to the rear as quickly as possible, looking for other culture dishes. Logically, the best course of action now was to ignore them, leave, and have Red Queen seal off this area.
But all three were a little worked up and didn’t care about any of that.
Zi Qiao suddenly slapped his forehead. “Wait! I have a gun.” He immediately drew the pistol from his waist, not giving Xue Mo Yin a chance to speak, and fired “Bang! Bang! Bang!” a few shots.
But his marksmanship… Heh.
“Lü Zi Qiao, were you sent by a monkey to be a clown? Or did you really fall for these guys and plan to defect?” Hu Yi Fei was furious. The stupid creature hadn’t been hit, but quite a few culture dishes had been shattered.
Zi Qiao was also embarrassed. He had originally posed, waiting for praise, but this whole operation seemed to have gone seriously wrong.
Mo Yin covered his eyes and sighed. Alright, now they couldn’t leave. At least five or six mutants had been released, and they were still executing their previous strategy. Judging by this situation, the thirty-odd culture dishes wouldn’t be shattered in a short while. Moreover, the gunshots had been too loud, and all the zombies in the surrounding area had probably been attracted.
“Red Queen, reseal the door here. It seems we can’t leave without killing all these things today.”
Red Queen resealed the door. Zi Qiao also realized he’d messed up, so he didn’t say a word, grabbed the Fang Tian Hua Ji and charged in, directly chopping off a mutant’s head. But it was clear they had underestimated these creatures' intelligence.
As Zi Qiao chose a new target, three or five mutants directly surrounded him. Others charged towards Hu Yi Fei and Xue Mo Yin.
“Damn it! These things know how to do that?” Zi Qiao said while resisting.
The three were now in a difficult situation. These creatures were already fast, and each one attacked once, then immediately stepped aside, with another taking its place. If they kept grinding like this, they would eventually be worn down by these mutants.
And these creatures’ defenses were simply unreasonable. Unless they chopped off their heads, the wounds they inflicted on these mutants would quickly heal. But if they kept going like this, their stamina would definitely not hold up, and their defenses would inevitably reveal vulnerabilities.
The most difficult situation was Zi Qiao’s. His Fang Tian Hua Ji was a long weapon, and he hadn’t learned any systematic techniques. Attacking was okay; the basic chopping techniques he had practiced were useful, but when it came to defense, it was a bit difficult. If he hadn’t been wearing the Wu Jin inner armor, he would have probably been ripped open by now.
“Come up with a plan! We can’t keep doing this!” Zi Qiao was struggling. He felt the mutants’ attacks were already targeting his neck—there was no armor there!
“Cut it out! Two useless ones. You still need your old lady. Hold on, I’m coming.” Hu Yi Fei saw the two’s condition and spoke. She was actually the most relaxed of the three, since her strength was already strong, and she had a blue-quality sword technique. She’d been using these creatures to practice her sword all this time. But now, she didn’t need to anymore.
As soon as she finished speaking, her speed instantly skyrocketed. Before the mutants on the other side could react, they were already headless.
As Hu Yi Fei broke out of the encirclement, the situation between them changed. She directly broke through the mutants’ encirclement of Mo Yin and Zi Qiao, giving the two a chance to catch their breath and pant heavily.
Hu Yi Fei glanced at the two in disdain, “You pathetic things! Leave the rest to your old lady.”
“You can handle it alone?” Zi Qiao was a little incredulous. These weren’t ordinary zombies, and there were about twenty left.
Hu Yi Fei didn’t turn her head. “Let you see your old lady’s new trick.”
She straightened the Tang Dao in her hand, slightly closing her eyes. The mutants felt an opportunity and charged forward together. When they were less than five meters away, she opened her eyes, her eyes full of killing intent.
“Shadow Flash!”
In an instant, she disappeared as if she had vanished. Even Xue Mo Yin couldn’t see her figure, but the entire space was like a cold ghost moving. A series of flashes of cold light, heads flew, and green blood splattered everywhere.
Around six or seven seconds later, Hu Yi Fei returned to her original position. There was not a drop of blood on her body or her sword. If not for the mutants lying dead on the ground, Xue Mo Yin would have doubted if she had really moved.
Although this move was powerful, it consumed a lot of stamina, and this was the first time she used it. She instantly felt a little weak and leaned to the side. Xue Mo Yin quickly went to help her sit down. Worried, he asked, “Are you okay?”
Hu Yi Fei shrugged nonchalantly. “Cut it out, what could possibly happen? You reminded me just now, and now I’m back. I, Hu Yi Fei, don’t like owing people favors.”
This arrogant attitude made Xue Mo Yin want to laugh. This kind of Hu Yi Fei was actually a little cute. But with a system prompt, Xue Mo Yin couldn’t laugh anymore.
“Ding, Congratulations, your teammate has successfully created the sword technique, ‘Shadow Flash’ (Purple Quality).”
Damn it! I’m the protagonist! I’m the protagonist! Xue Mo Yin was in tears. He didn’t even have a white-quality sword technique!
Hu Yi Fei was excited. “Not bad! It seems like my idea of combining the ‘Bounce Flash’ and ‘Shadow Blade Technique’ worked!”
Zi Qiao didn’t care. The reason was simple; he was used to Hu Yi Fei’s strength.
“What do we do now?”
Looking at Yi Fei, who was a little exhausted, and their own state, which wasn’t great, Xue Mo Yin said, “Let’s forget it. Our current state isn’t suitable for continuing. Let’s rest for a night.”
