Chapter 35 Mutation
Chi Heng keenly sensed her hesitation, lowered his eyelashes slightly, turned around, and left with his entourage.
After he left with his men, Yu Yao followed Dongfang Jin and Luo Pingjing and began to move upstairs.
When moving to the transfer stairwell between the 16th and 17th floors.
The ventilation window in the stairwell was suddenly broken without any warning.
The dark green branches with barbs reached out menacingly towards them.
Dongfang Jin quickly stood beside Yu Yao, using a water-based technique to block the attacking branches.
Luo Pingjing conjured a golden blade, pierced through the water, and severed the branches.
Their teamwork was perfect, and the entire process took less than a second.
Before any more branches could be added, the three of them quickly left the stairwell and pushed open the fire door on the seventeenth floor.
The seventeenth floor was covered with dense branches, emitting a strange and cloying fragrance that made people feel uneasy.
Yu Yao has her own calming talisman.
Dongfang Jin and Luo Pingjing would use their special abilities to hold their breath.
There are no major problems.
They used knives to cut down the branches along the road.
Luo Pingjing's metal-based superpower condensed into a golden shield, protecting the three of them completely and preventing any sneak attacks from branches that might have sprung in through the window.
When Sang Yi and the others were found, only Ji Yan and Ye Ziang remained conscious on the seventeenth floor.
All the windows of the house where they were resting were sealed with a thick layer of ice by Ji Yan using his supernatural abilities.
However, many branches had already reached into the house, and many people were already unconscious and entangled in the branches.
Ji Yan and Ye Ziang were constantly hacking at the branches attacking them with their knives, while also trying to save the others.
Ji Yan, in particular, had to repair the ice layer from time to time, which was about to be broken by the branches.
Very busy.
But they did their best and never gave up on anyone, clumsy yet sincere.
The arrival of Yu Yao and the other two gave them a chance to catch their breath.
Because Ji Yan sealed the windows, no more branches grew inside the house, making it easy to clean.
But the ice will eventually be broken.
Luo Pingjing simply sealed the windows with metal, temporarily cutting off the mutated plant's path.
However, this is not a long-term solution; we can only wait for Chi Heng and the others to resolve the issue of the mutated plant's true form as soon as possible.
......
Yu Yao stood at the door with a knife in her hand. She had a slender waist and long legs, and was both beautiful and fierce, but her expression became increasingly solemn.
It's not because the problem of mutated plants hasn't been solved.
Instead.
"We're surrounded by zombies again."
Yu Yao's gaze slowly shifted to Shi Ying, whose chest was still rising and falling steadily.
It's obvious who's behind this.
Seeing this, Dongfang Jin also turned his gaze to Shi Ying, and then his eyes met those of Yu Yao.
The problem needs to be addressed at its source.
Yu Yao twirled the knife in her hand and said, seemingly seriously, "There are too many zombies. We need to lure them away."
Dongfang Jin paused for a moment, then said, "I'll go."
Yu Yao glanced at Dongfang Jin in surprise, and then said.
"I'll lure the zombies away. I have a strange stone in my hand. I heard that it can make zombies evolve quickly, and zombies have no resistance to it."
As Yu Yao spoke, she keenly sensed that Shi Ying trembled slightly for a moment, and the atmosphere in the hall became strange.
Dongfang Jin said, "What is it? I can take it and use it to lure people."
"No, this thing can only be blocked in my space, so I can escape."
As she spoke, she took out the white fragment from her spatial storage.
They didn't give Ji Yan and Ye Ziang time to be surprised.
The roars of the zombies outside the hospital suddenly rose, and the ground began to tremble.
The mutated plants outside the window also became unusually excited, and Ji Yan and Luo Pingjing had to reinforce the ice layer and metal plate that were about to be broken through again and again.
A gentle breeze stirred Yu Yao's hat.
"Get away!"
"careful!"
Dongfang Jin and Ji Yan both cried out in surprise.
Ji Yan's ice shield and Luo Pingjing's metal shield opened simultaneously in front of her.
Yu Yao calmly tossed the white fragments into the air, drew her sword, and swiftly turned around.
The next second, she had passed through two layers of protective shields, and the knife in her hand was firmly stuck between Shi Ying's eyebrows.
Meanwhile, Shi Ying was still bound by water lines condensed by Dongfang Jin, which controlled her.
They moved so fast that no one could see their movements clearly.
"Killed a level 1 dual-element zombie, gained 2000 experience points, 1500 gold coins, 1 level 1 mental crystal core, 1 level 1 transparent crystal core, 1 memory bead, 20 antidote pills, and 20 antidote blood samples."
After Shi Ying died, her body could no longer maintain a human form.
As Yu Yao slowly drew her knife.
As she slowly fell to the ground, she was reverted to her original form, transforming back into a terrifying zombie.
None of Luo Pingjing and the others expected that Yu Yao would kill Shi Ying so decisively.
After all, Shi Ying is covered in villainous buffs and is very likely to grow into a zombie king.
He doesn't seem like the kind of character who can be easily dealt with.
But Yu Yao, just like that, so casually, killed her...
This was thanks to the five-colored stone fragments in Yu Yao's possession, which were indeed fatally attractive to zombies.
It made her lose her mind.
Otherwise, Shi Ying would not have exposed herself so early.
Yu Yao glanced at the so-called memory bead, which contained all of Shi Ying's memories.
It is learned that Shi Ying became a zombie as soon as the apocalypse arrived, and at the same time awakened dual superpowers of mental and detoxification abilities.
Her detoxification ability can eliminate the zombie virus, but it's not enough to completely return her to a human state.
Because she died the moment she turned into a zombie.
Therefore, she could only use her detoxification ability to suppress the toxins in her body and maintain her human appearance.
At the same time, she never thought of using this ability to save people.
Perhaps it's because she's a zombie without humanity, or perhaps it's because she... never had humanity to begin with.
Her decision to keep these dozen or so survivors alive was not due to any pang of conscience.
It was just a way to reserve some food for myself.
However, the antidote pills dropped by killing her can clear the zombie virus, and the blood samples can be used for research.
In a way, she left behind a tiny contribution to the world.
Yu Yao's eyes flickered slightly, but the next moment, she moved her eyes slightly and looked at Dongfang Jin and Luo Pingjing.
Luo Pingjing: ? ? ?
Dongfang Jin's eyebrows twitched, then she couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't worry, Xiao Liu won't be upset. She'll just say, 'My sister is amazing!'"
Luo Mei hated Shi Ying, but she didn't necessarily have to take matters into her own hands.
As long as the result is good, it doesn't matter who does the work.
Since he said that, Yu Yao naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
If her own enemy were killed by someone else, she would feel sorry for him anyway.
Luo Mei doesn't know how, that's great!
He sheathed his sword, a smile spreading across his face.
"That's good."
As she spoke, she took out a rappelling rope.
Dongfang Jin's expression changed, and he stepped forward to hold down her hand as she was about to find a place to tie the rope.
He said solemnly, "I thought you were just trying to fool her."
"No."
Yu Yao said, "There are too many zombies outside, at least four times more than all the zombies in the original hospital combined, and we have too few people. If we don't lure the zombies away, we will all die."
In fact, Shi Ying, who was only at level one, could not control so many zombies.
But these past few days she has been secretly sneaking out of the hospital and wandering around the city, giving most of the zombies a psychological boost.
With just a thought from her, these zombies would come to protect her.
It must be said that Shi Ying is a smart person, and even as a zombie, she is a smart zombie.
Unfortunately, he ran into Yu Yao.
"I go!"
"Oh my god!!!" Luo Pingjing exclaimed in a hurry.
Yu Yao raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Why are you swearing?"
Dongfang Jin: ......
"I'll go lure the zombies," he said again seriously.
Yu Yao pushed away Dongfang Jin's hand and walked towards the window she had her eye on.
He said, "What I just said is true. Only I can keep this stone. And I don't want to lose it for now. If a zombie picks it up, it will only create another menace."
Dongfang Jin followed closely behind her, "Then I'll go with you."
"This place needs protection."
"You've lured the zombies away, what protection do you need?" Dongfang Jin's voice was somewhat anxious.
"The mutated plants cannot be moved at will. Once the Five-Colored Stone appears, the mutated plants will also riot."
"Xiao Qi!" Dongfang Jin grabbed Yu Yao's wrist again.
"I'm not the kind of person who would put myself in danger; I'm a coward."
After Yu Yao finished speaking, she added, "I'm taking action because there's something to be gained. You all better not get in my way of making money."
She stepped back to the window and looked at Ji Yan, who hadn't said a word all day.
Ji Yan gave Yu Yao a deep look and silently moved his hand.
A thick icicle, reaching all the way to the ceiling, solidified at her feet.
Yu Yao smiled at him, tied the rope, and said.
"I'll count to 3, 2, 1. You all need to dispel the supernatural powers here. After I leave, you must immediately reseal the windows."
Ji Yan nodded, while Luo Pingjing clenched his fist, staring intently at Yu Yao with a blank expression, seemingly lost in thought.
Yu Yao looked at him, and her clear, crisp voice rang out.
"3."
"2."
"1."
The outer layer of ice melted and disappeared in an instant, but the golden shield remained completely still.
Without the ice shield, the windows were given special attention by the mutated plants, making a banging noise.
Yu Yao was not angry or questioning. Instead, she smiled slightly at Luo Pingjing, drew her sword, and fiercely stabbed at the golden shield.
Luo Pingjing's eyes changed drastically: "Xiao Qi!"
The next second, the golden shield shattered under the combined attack from both inside and outside.
Yu Yao leaned back, leaped into the air, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
