With the tacit cooperation between Su Ling and Gu Shangse, the crowded zombie horde quickly ignited.
Su Ling's Phoenix Fire Arrows, under her control, directly ignited the zombies with burning flames that wouldn't stop.
The zombie horde was dense, and when one zombie was burned, it directly set fire to the zombies shoulder-to-shoulder around it.
Thus, passing the flames from one to another, what Su Ling and her companions mostly saw were hordes of zombies engulfed in flames, scurrying about and spreading the fire deeper into the zombie masses.
Gu Shangse's Thunder Arrows, on the other hand, turned the locked-on zombies into charred, smoking husks, blackened by the fire.
The lightning crackled on the zombies' bodies, causing them to tremble uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jiang's mental control directly caused the zombie nest to turn on itself, fighting each other.
The survivors who had been closely monitoring Su Ling and her group widened their eyes and gaped.
To them, the zombies were a difficult foe, but to Su Ling and her companions, it was as simple as children playing house.
Of course, the coordination within their team was impeccable and strategic.
If they hadn't witnessed firsthand how Su Ling and her group dealt with the zombies, they probably wouldn't have thought of fighting them in such a manner.
Under the coordinated efforts of Su Ling and the other two, a large number of zombies in their sight had fallen. Those remaining standing weren't much luckier, as their bodies were more or less covered in playful flames that were burning them.
"Advance," Su Ling commanded, taking the first step forward.
She looked straight ahead, her arrows flying out one after another, each hitting its target with perfect accuracy.
Beside her, Gu Shangse also maintained an extremely high hit rate, with every arrow finding its mark.
Jiang Jiang, however, was beginning to feel the strain due to the significant depletion of his mental energy.
He stopped using his mental powers and instead drew his weapon, preparing for close-quarters combat.
Su Ling and her companions soon crossed the street and entered the zombie-infested nightlife district, where a fierce battle was about to commence.
After changing his route, Qi Ren did not follow the path of other survivors. He ascended a tall building alone with his belongings.
After clearing any obstacles, he found a position of absolute safety and pulled out his binoculars from his bag to search for Su Ling and her group.
When he spotted them, it was precisely as Su Ling and her companions launched their attack on the zombies.
At first, he thought Su Ling's group was too overconfident.
A team of merely six people, daring to confront a zombie army? It was like talking nonsense.
But when he saw the arrows from Su Ling and Gu Shangse hitting their targets one after another, and witnessed how the flames and lightning rendered the zombies helpless once they made contact, he realized he had underestimated Su Ling and her group.
However, Qi Ren's focus was not on Su Ling and Gu Shangse, but on Jiang Jiang.
Through his binoculars, he observed Jiang Jiang's every move.
This young man was the one who held his interest.
He was not attacked by the zombies; even when standing in front of them, they showed no interest in him.
It was as if the zombies perceived him as one of their own and did not attack.
This discovery filled Qi Ren with pleasant surprise and astonishment.
At the same time, his desire to join Su Ling's team grew stronger as he discovered more.
Such a formidable team would be a terrible waste and a missed opportunity if he didn't find a way to join them.
With this thought, Qi Ren lowered his binoculars, opened his backpack, and took out a few bread rolls and milk.
He leaned against a pillar, eating his bread and drinking his milk while watching Su Ling's group battle the zombies.
