"Okay."
Xiang Jintian eased his hold on her slightly. Xu Qian's expression remained unchanged as she seized the opportunity to climb onto his back.
Once settled, Xu Qian’s thoughts stirred, and a black handgun appeared in her hand.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes, aimed at its head, and pulled the trigger.
*Bang.*
The bullet found its mark, piercing its eyeball with unerring accuracy. White fluid trickled down its vacant socket.
The bat shrieked and lunged at them with renewed ferocity.
It even spat venom at them from a distance.
Xiang Jintian's flying skills were excellent, and evading the venom wasn't difficult for him.
However, over time, he feared his abilities would be depleted.
Xu Qian's lips tightened as she instructed, "Jintian, try to fly more steadily."
"Okay."
Xu Qian took a deep breath and raised her handgun again.
Her shooting skills had been taught to her personally by Jiang Huai back then. Jiang Huai was one of the top powerhouses in the base, so his shooting skills were naturally superb.
Hers, therefore, were also quite good.
Another *bang*.
The bat's other eye was also shattered, white, unidentifiable fluid oozing from both sockets.
It flapped wildly, darting up and down, but remained in place, not pursuing them.
Xu Qian did not let down her guard. She softly commanded, "Jintian, speed up."
A level three mutated beast wouldn't be so easily killed.
The further they were from this thing, the better.
One minute later.
The bat suddenly exploded with a *bang*, spewing a lot of white fluid.
It formed a white mist.
Xu Qian's pupils contracted, incredibly grateful they had run fast enough.
As the white mist dissipated, a larger white bat than before emerged into the air.
Its head was almost as large as a human head, and its two blackish-purple eyes had regrown.
It bared its fangs, its entire body covered in white fluff, and its wings were so vast they could almost cover the entire roof.
Soon, it swooped down at them with even greater speed.
Xu Qian's expression changed slightly, and she said gravely, "Jintian, it's mutated!"
Xiang Jintian's face turned slightly pale, and he glanced back.
He saw the white bat charging towards them rapidly, several times faster than before.
It was a speed he couldn't match even with his full effort.
Xiang Jintian quickly made a decision.
"Xixi, let's go down and hide!"
As the words left his mouth, Xiang Jintian unhesitatingly plunged downwards. Intense centrifugal force assailed him.
Xu Qian clung tightly to his broad shoulders, pushing against the pressure of the wind, and said, "It's a rare level three mutated beast, and its abilities are very strong!"
"It... doesn't matter! Things with wings... aren't at an advantage indoors... just like me!"
The wind shredded his voice into fragments, but Xu Qian understood what he meant.
She glanced back at the white bat closely following them, a headache forming.
The base hadn't been destroyed, only for them to run into this thing!
The two of them rapidly descended to the top floor of a factory building.
Xiang Jintian pulled open the balcony door, and they quickly ran into the stairwell, locking the balcony door behind them.
They didn't stop, hurrying downstairs without pause.
The girl moved freely through a sea of zombies, and in a few seconds, a swathe of them fell.
Killing level two zombies was now as simple as harvesting cabbage.
Xiang Jintian barely had to touch his dagger before they had successfully navigated through a large portion of the factory's zombies.
A while after they left, the white bat reached the rooftop.
It sniffed around, seemingly trying to catch their scent.
Shortly thereafter, it detected human presence at the gap of the balcony door.
It suddenly flapped its wings, flew back, and then slammed directly into the door.
*Bang.*
With just one hit, a large hole was blasted through the door.
