The black-haired girl in crisis was clearly Sakurajima Mai, who was about to meet Lu Chen at the library entrance.
After confirming he hadn’t mistaken the person, Lu Chen exploded forward with even more ferocious speed.
Under the precise control of his "Gravity" ability, the phrase "light as a swallow" was no longer a metaphor for him, but a fact!
"How did someone break through the defenses?"
"That speed is incredible… He must be a track athlete."
"He’s going to save someone? There are hundreds of corpses over there. Is he crazy?!"
Within the defenses on the square, hearing the whispers around them, Feng Bin He Xiang and Xiang tightly pressed their lips together, staring at Lu Chen’s back.
"That bad guy, he was so arrogant before… He’s surely going to be fine this time!"
In the blink of an eye, Lu Chen, who had used his ability to reduce the gravity he was subjected to, had already approached the corpse horde.
At the same time, Sakurajima Mai, surrounded and besieged, saw through the overlapping, rotten limbs and met Lu Chen’s gaze.
"It’s Lu Chen…!"
The girl’s heart, which had been near despair just a moment ago, surged with unspeakable joy and hope.
Sakurajima Mai mustered all her courage and strength, desperately trying to project her voice.
"I’m here!!!"
The surrounding zombies, because of her shout, surged forward even more crazily, trying to overwhelm and devour the human in front of them.
But the next moment, as if an invisible, heavy hammer had slammed down in the air!
The zombies, who had been ferocious and terrifying just moments ago, attempting to attack Sakurajima Mai, were instantly smashed to the ground, unable to move.
It was as if invisible hands were holding them down!
"Whew… Come over here."
Lu Chen wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead, his face slightly pale as he extended a hand to the girl not far away.
His mental strength hadn’t fully recovered yet, and he had just forcibly exerted gravity loads on so many zombies, his mental power was already depleted.
He was now acutely aware of the consequences of excessive mental expenditure.
Dizziness was just the most basic symptom; his perception and reaction speed had also slowed down.
If not for the urgent need to save someone, Lu Chen would have preferred to find a place to sleep right now.
"Origin-Gravity" was indeed a very powerful ability, but Lu Chen's current mental attribute was too low.
Even if he could control it precisely, not wasting a single bit of mental power…
Facing a horde of corpses, hundreds of enemies at a time, he still felt overwhelmed.
But even so, his actions had stunned the "Mutual Aid Group" players in the rear!
"What did he do? How come those zombies are falling down on their own?!"
"It’s a miracle! He must be a messenger sent by God to save us!"
"I think God should shut this broken game down first…"
"Can humans do that? Or did he actually use some sort of item?"
"So cool! Those zombies are like they’re kneeling before him… I wonder if he's recruiting."
"Don't think about it, you haven't seen that he's going for the pretty girl, have you?"
"Sigh, hope the boss isn’t too stuck on gender cards…"
Regardless of the gradually diverging topic.
With Lu Chen’s help, Sakurajima Mai managed to safely cross over the fallen zombies and successfully escape.
Seeing this, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though this girl was an actress, the several crises she had encountered had not resulted in any particularly "dramatic" chain reactions.
If it were to follow the conventions of certain movies, when crossing the corpse horde,
there would at least have been a trip, a zombie grabbing her ankle, or something like that.
"Thank you. You’ve saved my life again…"
After escaping, Sakurajima Mai quickly reunited with Lu Chen, but she noticed that he was in poor condition, and couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.
"Sorry, I worried you."
"It’s nothing… If I hadn’t asked you to meet here, you wouldn’t have been in danger."
Lu Chen nodded slightly, removing the gravity he had placed on the zombies, his mental pressure instantly dissipated.
However, the nearby zombies were gradually climbing up from the ground, and it seemed they were about to attack again.
"Go to the square over there."
Lu Chen didn’t give it a second thought, directly grabbing Sakurajima Mai’s wrist and leading her to quickly evacuate.
"Your sister… I mean Feng Bin He Xiang is over there."
"What? You found He Xiang?!"
Originally, Sakurajima Mai was a little shy because of holding hands.
But upon hearing news of her sister, she immediately became excited.
"Yeah, I met her on the way to the library."
Considering there were many unsavory details in the process,
Lu Chen decisively deleted some situations that would likely cause misunderstandings if mentioned.
"That’s great, is He Xiang okay?"
"She's fine, lively like a little foal in a stable."
"That’s good…"
Sakurajima Mai finally felt relieved. The terror of being surrounded by zombies was gradually dispelled by the good news brought by Lu Chen.
Returning to the edge of the square, the members of the "Mutual Aid Group" who formed the defense line looked at Lu Chen with complex emotions as they opened a gap for him.
Some of the players who liked excitement even shouted cheers and whistled, as if welcoming a triumphant king.
Before Lu Chen could take Sakurajima Mai to join her sister, the white woman from before enthusiastically greeted him.
"Unbelievable! Your performance just now was incredible, like you’re Superman!"
"Uh… Is that so?"
As the saying goes, don’t hit a smiling person with your hand. The other party was so proactive and friendly, Lu Chen had no reason to turn down their smile.
"Of course!"
The white woman’s gaze swept back and forth between Lu Chen and Sakurajima Mai, smiling as she said.
"Seeing your sweetheart in crisis, you unleash incredible power to turn the situation around — It's like a movie!"
"If this lady dumps you, please come to me. I've always wanted a Superman boyfriend."
… I’ve heard that people over in the West are more open, but isn’t it a bit too much to say these things in person? Aren’t you afraid of getting punched?
Before Lu Chen could finish his internal complaints, the black-haired girl beside him took the initiative to respond.
"I’m sorry, it seems you need to find another Superman… I’m not going to give him up to you."
"Also… he’s very tired right now. Can we go and rest?"
Hearing Sakurajima Mai’s words, the white woman also noticed that Lu Chen’s face seemed a bit off, so she quickly waved her hand.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t notice his condition. I apologize."
"You guys can rest comfortably in the back. We’ll leave the zombies to the 'Mutual Aid Group's' strong guys…"
"But the cog bronze coins earned from killing zombies will be distributed to those who participated in the battle."
In other words, it was a voluntary version of "protection money," where those who were protected couldn’t obtain the killing rewards.
"No problem."
Lu Chen nodded, accepting this fairly fair distribution plan.
After bidding farewell to the white woman, Feng Bin He Xiang, who had been waiting in the distance and had been too embarrassed to interrupt the conversation, finally couldn’t hold back and ran over.
"Mai-nee!"
"He Xiang… It’s really you!"
The second day after being swept into the Survivor game.
The sisters finally reunited in the same dangerous area!
