Chapter 101

The wind also reached the three of them, and Mi Ling turned around to see a sight that made her face turn pale. The zombies were now only about ten meters away from them, and their distance was rapidly closing.

Though they didnt understand what was happening, they couldnt run any longer; they had to turn around and fight.

Mi Li immediately unleashed all the buffs she had on Su Dazhu to empower him.

Su Dazhu took the lead, facing the oncoming zombies and striking one with his staff.

Mi Ling also unleashed a fiery explosion, reducing the number of zombies from over twenty to just a dozen or so.

Among this group of zombies, only a small portion were second-level zombies, while the majority were first-level zombies.

First-level zombies posed no real threat to Su Dazhu, and even if he got injured, Mi Li could heal him.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, a wind-like fourth-level zombie moved to the side and unleashed a wind blade at Mi Li.

It was too fast; Mi Li couldnt dodge in time. Seeing this, Mi Ling instinctively positioned herself in front of Mi Li.

Turns out, it wasnt Mi Ling who was in danger originally, but she ended up getting injured like this.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

The wind blade hit Mi Lings shoulder, tearing a large gash in her flesh. Mi Lings shoulder immediately gushed with fresh, red blood, staining Mi Lis clothes.

If Mi Ling werent at the third level and hadnt had her defense boosted by Mi Li, her shoulder might have been completely torn off by the wind blade of the fourth-level zombie.

A look of pain flashed across Mi Lings face, but without hesitation, her uninjured right hand conjured a fireball.

However, what surprised Mi Ling was that the fireball narrowly missed the fourth-level zombie, which deftly evaded the spell.

Aside from missing its target, this was the first time Mi Ling encountered a zombie that could dodge a spell.

Su Dazhu made a quick decision, saying, Mi Ling, focus on dealing with the regular zombies, Ill hold off this one, and then well take it down together.

Gunshots rang out.

After Mi Li cast a healing spell on Mi Ling, she retrieved the handgun that Chen Luo had given her and fired at the fourth-level zombie. The fourth-level zombie, unfamiliar with firearms, dodged as best as it could. Given Mi Lis lack of marksmanship, only one shot out of four hit, which was hardly a significant blow to the fourth-level zombie.

Handguns didnt pack much of a punch, but they managed to delay the fourth-level zombie for a moment.

With Mi Lis support, Su Dazhu charged towards the fourth-level zombie. In the short term, the fourth-level zombie couldnt kill Su Dazhu.

The wind blade struck Su Dazhus chest, leaving only a gash, far less severe than Mi Lings injury. This brought some relief to the group.

Hearing the gunshots, the Thunderbolt King finally realized what was happening. Mi Ling and the others are in trouble. I wont end up as zombie bait, will I?

The three of them had already collected about fifty or sixty crystals, and since Mi Ling was injured, they decided not to continue collecting and prepared to head back.

Back at the base, the Thunderbolt King was the first to get out of the car, wearing a sycophantic expression as he handed over a bag of crystals to Chen Luo.

Rice, could you ask the master how many points these crystals are worth?

Chen Luo counted and unexpectedly found a fourth-level crystal. He thought for a moment and decided that the fourth-level crystal was worth 100 points for the Thunderbolt King.

Chen Luo cleaned the crystal and gave it to Rice, intending to help Rice reach the fourth level quickly.

The Thunderbolt King was bewildered. I worked so hard to obtain these crystals, and youre giving them to Rice? Shouldnt they be given to me? Is this fair? Is this reasonable?

Rice rolled his eyes and translated the Thunderbolt Kings words.

Hearing this, Chen Luo returned the fourth-level crystal to the Thunderbolt King, saying, If you contribute the crystals to the group, Ill give you points, but if you use them yourself, I cant give you points in return, can I?

It wouldnt make sense for me to use them and still expect points from you, would it? Do you think Im unreasonable?

The Thunderbolt King found Chen Luos reasoning quite sensible and handed the crystal back to him. Crystals dont grow on trees, after all.

Chen Luo noticed that Mi Lings shoulder seemed unnatural, and the three of them didnt hide anything, sharing their recent experiences.

Chen Luo tightened his grip on Rices hand. Rice had hit the nail on the head. There was danger, but it wasnt life-threatening.

Twice now, Rice successfully predicted danger, the first time being for Mi Li.

However, Chen Luo couldnt help but wonder. Su Dazhu had also sustained minor injuries, but Rice hadnt mentioned it. Was it because the injuries were too minor for Rice to sense?

Not long after, everyone who had gone on the mission returned. Although the mission was completed, nobody displayed their usual cheerful expressions.

Four people were injured, and one had died.

When dealing with second-level zombies, even a slight misstep could lead to injuries, and if a vital spot was hit, there was no saving them.

It had been several days since anyone had died before this, and seeing a comrades death had dampened everyones spirits.

Chen Luo remained calm, having mentally prepared himself for such possibilities.

Death was undoubtedly a more severe matter than Mi Lings injury, so why hadnt Rice sensed that someone would die?

If Rice had sensed it, he wouldnt have stayed silent.

Could it be that Rice can currently only sense the safety of close ones, while unfamiliar people are beyond his perception?
