Fine powder slowly fell to the ground, scattering in the air and transforming into specks of green light that sprinkled across the earth.
Absorbed by the plants on the ground, Shi Laonian's attack was unremarkable, yet it carried a powerful tremor.
Yes, his superpower was tremor. A very simple superpower. But he utilized it to near perfection; each attack resonated with the force of the tremor, causing immense damage. The straightforward Drunken Fist was imbued with a lifetime of experience in every move.
This was still when he hadn’t taken out his spear, or perhaps he lacked the ability to create a spear suitable for a Superpowered Individual—one that required materials equivalent to almost two ordinary spears, and its price would surely be exorbitant.
His spear was unique, born from the Drunken Fist. Every technique of this Drunkard was related to alcohol; without it, Wu Yingzhou could easily defeat him ten times over.
But in a state of half-dreaming and half-waking, if Wu Yingzhou didn’t win, he should be grateful just to avoid defeat.
Now was Shi Laonian's moment to shine. With a set of Drunken Fist techniques flowing seamlessly, he faced a massive Zombie that had no means of defense against him. It seemed helpless against someone as small as a finger.
The immense power was completely restrained by Shi Laonian. If Wu Yingzhou were to confront this giant Zombie, he would truly have no way to handle it, but Shi Laonian was different.
He was using his refined skills to deal with the Zombie; given time, he could make this Zombie gradually collapse and disintegrate.
But would the Zombie grant him that time?
The answer was no. Just as Shi Laonian continued his relentless assault, the Zombie before him had fully risen. With its claws raised, dozens of Gliding Zombies suddenly took flight from its shoulders, launching fierce attacks toward Shi Laonian.
At that moment, other Zombies were also closing in from behind. Inferno could not contend with such a large number of Third-Stage Zombies; dozens of them charged forward with their tail whips swinging ferociously. Their dark claws glimmered ominously as their tail whips spun like helicopter blades, their bodies almost floating through the air.
"Go!" To buy time for Shi Laonian, Wu Yingzhou charged forward without hesitation.
The first to charge forward was, of course, the Avatar, while the main body had long since retreated. His current limit was still two Avatars, and the main body was completely unmanageable, even causing chaotic situations.
Two Avatars suddenly appeared on either side of a Third-Stage Zombie. Almost simultaneously, they unleashed the Iron Mountain Lean.
This move was powerful and forceful, carrying all the strength of Wu Yingzhou's Avatar. It was infused with Vital Energy. The immense force caused the Third-Stage Zombie to stagger, its body completely compressed.
Unfortunately for the Third-Stage Zombie, being compressed posed no significant threat; what mattered most were its head and neck Zombie Crystal. Even the tail hammer was more important than its body. As Wu Yingzhou's Avatar attacked, the Zombie's claws had already seized the Avatar's head, followed by a violent tearing motion.
The two Avatars were instantly shattered.
It wasn't that Wu Yingzhou didn't want to evade; it was simply too fierce. The overwhelming power and swift speed left Wu Yingzhou's Avatar unable to dodge.
Fortunately, no matter how damaged Wu Yingzhou's Avatar became, it didn't matter. He could create those things at will; the only limitation was that he could only have two appear at once.
At the moment the Avatar was crushed, two more Avatars appeared beside the Zombie's head. Then came the Collapse Fist and Half-Step Collapse Fist in mid-air. Although he did not draw upon the earth's power, the strength of the Avatars themselves was formidable. Coupled with the special technique Wu Yingzhou was currently using, these two Avatars were akin to self-destructing in their ferocity; they attacked upon formation and then detonated all their Vital Energy, causing a second wave of damage.
This method had only recently occurred to Wu Yingzhou, but there was no doubt that it would consume a large amount of Vital Energy; at least he couldn't sustain it for long now.
However, the effect was evident—the Zombie's head was completely obliterated, and its Zombie Crystal was dug out, glimmering as it fell to the ground.
After Wu Yingzhou made his move, all the Academy Members around him began to unleash their powers. They were all First-Level Espers and were utterly powerless against a Third-Stage Zombie. However, what they were doing now effectively restricted these Zombies; the ground started to become damp like a swamp, and the clothing on the Zombies began to catch fire.
Even more astonishingly, fine bolts of lightning continuously descended from above, striking those Zombies. While they couldn't eliminate them, they still served as a distraction. These Superpowered Individuals were among the elite of the Two Major Legions and naturally could not be compared to ordinary people.
They were truly elite within the legion.
However, even so, it could not stop the assault of the Zombies. Only Wu Yingzhou's Superpower could inflict damage on the Third-Stage Zombie, but his speed was still too slow to completely take down the Third-Stage Zombie.
On the other side, Shi Laonian was also in a predicament. The immense power of the Zombies was astonishing, leaving him no opportunity to wear them down over time. Now that the Gliding Zombies had entered the fray, he could only defend himself, unable to counterattack, and had to dodge their assaults. A moment's carelessness could cost him his life.
The warriors from other legions continuously sniped at the Gliding Zombies. The Firearm Esper had already exhausted countless potions, and three entire ammunition depots had been depleted—over ten million rounds of ammunition gone just like that. The battle was still ongoing; every Machine Gun had suffered some wear and tear. As long as accuracy faltered, replacements were immediately brought in to ensure Ruiguan's self-defense capability.
They could only do this; there were simply too many Low-Level Zombies. Even a great fire only cleared a portion of the low-tier trash Zombies, and now they were back again.
Moreover, those Second-Tier and Third-Stage Zombies had begun to join the battle.
The ten-meter-high city wall allowed Second-Level Zombies to climb up easily. As for the Third-Stage Zombies, they were still facing Wu Yingzhou. If he couldn't hold them off, the wall would be reduced to rubble within minutes.
The battle seemed to have reached an insurmountable deadlock. The Left Guard frequently used his Superpower to rescue those warriors on the verge of injury, bravely confronting the Gliding Zombies.
Unfortunately, those Gliding Zombies paid no heed to this Fellow who couldn't attack from a distance; they directly pursued ordinary First-Level Espers.
If this continued, Ruiguan would collapse before even holding its ground.
"Roar!" Over a dozen Gliding Zombies howled simultaneously before diving down. Their target was a Superpowered Individual defending together with others; behind them lay the shelter they needed to protect.
Clearly, these not-so-intelligent Gliding Zombies received a significant command from their Zombie overlords and began attacking this location, aiming for the injured inside the shelter.
"Let's fight!" A dozen Superpowered Individuals were ready to risk it all. Their Flamethrowers had already ignited; while effective against Low-Level Zombies, they would have little impact on the Gliding Zombies. Nevertheless, they resolutely decided to make one last stand, even if it meant injuring these Zombies!
"Kill!" The last roar, the final desperate cry, was a battle song written with the lives of warriors.
At the end of their lives, they seemed to feel an endless surge of courage. The Vital Energy within them surged rapidly, and they were on the verge of breaking through to the long-desired Second-Stage Esper.
But it was no longer possible for them; they let go of everything in their hearts, leaving only the final struggle.
"Don't give up! The future of Hope Gathering Place still needs your protection!" A calm voice echoed in their ears.
Then, a long rainbow appeared above—a white lightning bolt, accompanied by powerful arcs of electricity and fierce gusts of wind, sliced through the air like a demon's blade or the scythe of death, tracing an arc in the sky.
In an instant, five Gliding Zombies were cleaved in half.
Above them, more than ten other Gliding Zombies were already closing in for the attack.
Suddenly, it felt as if something had emerged from the ground. For an extremely brief moment, everything around seemed to freeze; two powerful forces appeared to tear apart everything, including space itself.
"Swish swish swish!" Just as they were stunned, over ten Gun Shadows appeared before them. The Gun Shadows moved swiftly, flickering in and out of visibility like autumn winds sweeping fallen leaves—cold and ruthless yet carrying an inexplicable sense of naturalness.
It was as if the gun had always belonged there, so effortlessly.
Then they saw those ten Gliding Zombies begin to tremble, red dots appearing on their necks.
The red dots slowly expanded, tiny sparks shooting from their wounds before erupting into a violent spray—like a volcanic eruption.
All that awaited them was one question: "Where did the Zombie Crystal go?"
A figure gradually emerged, revealing Zheng Yifan.
He stood in front of a dozen warriors, gripping a long spear as he carefully examined the Zombies before him. The bizarre appearance of the Gliding Zombie was unsettling, but what surprised Zheng Yifan the most was that they lacked Zombie Crystal s.
The flames that had erupted earlier were the internal organs of the Zombies being expelled. The force was not originally this intense; it was entirely due to Zheng Yifan's massive input of Vital Energy, as he sought to locate the Zombie Crystal s that were not visible on the surface.
However, the result was astonishing—there were indeed no Zombie Crystal s, and the Zombies stood there blankly before Zheng Yifan.
The absence of Zombie Crystal s meant that the Zombies could appear without any energy support. This was particularly dangerous for Zheng Yifan, as his Time-Space Barrier required millions of Zombie Crystal s to advance.
Moreover, the entire Gathering Place had already entered the Superpower Era, and Zombie Crystal s had become the primary energy source of this new age.
If the Zombies truly lacked Zombie Crystal s...
Then things could get serious! (To be continued)
