Xu Qian instantly became alert, her dark eyes searching for his figure everywhere.
"Activate enhanced attack."
"Roar."
A strong stench assaulted her.
Xu Qian turned and dodged, but before she could even see him, a dark hand reached for her shoulder.
A flash of blade.
A severed arm fell.
She tightened her grip on the long saber. The zombie, covered in blood, was much slower as it lunged without arms.
He wore a military uniform, its green fabric stained red with blood. He was tall and burly, with half his face torn away, revealing bone-white bone, making him even more terrifying. Kuai Shu Ge.
Xu Qian frowned, a soldier?
"Roar." His orange eyes widened like copper bells, his mouth agape, revealing blood-soaked teeth.
"..."
With a thought, its movements slowed further. Xu Qian prepared to deliver a swift blow.
Suddenly, a chill ran down her spine.
Xu Qian cried out, "Damn it," not expecting this small factory to hide two Level 2 zombies.
She closed her eyes slightly, secretly channeling all her mental energy to control the zombies.
In that instant, all zombies within 10 meters froze.
Xu Qian swung her saber, and two heads fell.
The two people hacking at zombies were stunned.
Why did these zombies suddenly stop moving?
Less than 5 seconds later, the zombies returned to normal.
A flicker of surprise crossed Mei Yue Bai's eyes. His intuition told him something was wrong, and he turned and ran towards Xu Qian.
Xu Qian panted, clutching her throbbing head, and quickly dug out the two crystal cores, absorbing them instantly.
A surging power flowed into the crystal core on her chest. The core was tightly encased in white light, emitting a blinding glow.
"Ugh..."
It hurt even more.
Energy spread from the crystal core to her limbs, white light encircling her entire body.
She collapsed on the ground, her entire body erupting with powerful light.
Mei Yue Bai rushed over, his expression grave.
The girl was enveloped in a halo of light, trembling all over, her face pale. No zombie dared to approach within 5 meters of the halo.
He reached out a fingertip to touch the light.
"Ssss." a sound.
His hand was burned by the light.
A hint of gloom crossed his eyes. Disregarding the burn on his finger, he gritted his teeth and extended his hand into the light. Only when he touched her slightly warm pulse did he finally feel at ease.
When he withdrew his hand, the skin had turned a dark, reddish-black, like a burnt, overcooked pork knuckle.
Mei Yue Bai's face was covered in cold sweat, his complexion as pale as Xu Qian's. He took out a bottle of ointment from a hidden compartment in his backpack. After applying it, although his hand remained dark red, the pain disappeared.
He sat cross-legged, propping up his chin, and stared at the ashen-faced Xu Qian within the light.
This girl, he liked her very much.
The only girl he had ever liked since childhood.
A girl he liked would absolutely not die.
Xu Qian's mind was blank, pain consuming her entire body. She had no energy to think about anything else, only wanting it to end quickly.
White light spread throughout her limbs.
From pain to warmth to comfort.
Her entire body felt warm.
"Brother Yue Bai, when will Sister Qian wake up?"
Gu Qing only discovered Xu Qian had fainted after killing 300 zombies. Even the powerful her had fainted, and his pillar of support was gone, fear and trepidation spreading within his heart.
What would he do if something happened to Sister Qian?
Mei Yue Bai's face was grim. "Keep driving your car and don't make any more mistakes. She will wake up."
After a full 5 hours, the energy within her body finally subsided.
She felt the energy in her crystal core. The white light on her chest grew denser, her mental power covering an area as large as half a basketball court.
After hurting for so long, upgrading to Level 2 psychic ability, there seemed to be no change.
{Sigh, I wonder how Sister Qian is doing now. Brother Yue Bai isn't saying anything either.}
Xu Qian frowned. Was that Gu Qing's voice? Why was it appearing in her mind?
{So worried about Sister Qian...}
"..."
Level 2 psychic ability, could it hear people's thoughts?
