Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 203: Discrepancy In Power ( 2 )
"Captain Xun, you and your team should stay in the middle," Zhang Yuan said.
Even though they felt humiliated being treated like the weak survivors, they couldn't object. After all, they were indeed weaker in comparison.
Before they entered the commercial district, they saw that the road ahead was packed with zombies. The roars of the zombies echoed clearly through the air.
Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi frowned and said, "Why are there so many zombies here? Isn't the apocalypse supposed to have started at dawn?"
"Before the apocalypse, there was a night event held in this commercial district. They were doing a 50% sale for all stores," Xun Che explained.
"No wonder," Jiao Lizhi sighed.
Seeing her talking with Xun Che, Jin Xuyan leaned closer and said, "Ah Zhi, don't be afraid. Brother Yan will protect you."
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi rolled her eyes and walked away. She wasn't some delicate flower who needed him to protect her.
Jin Xuyan chuckled when he saw her eye roll and said, "Ah Zhi, wait for me!"
Watching the famously stoic Captain Jin act like a teenager in love, Xun Che and his team were visibly shocked.
Before they continued deeper into the commercial district, Wen Mo and Wen Kai created BB guns for Xun Che and his team.
They watched with wide eyes as the Wen brothers created the guns with several waves of their hands. Once the airguns were ready, Qin Luzi filled the CO₂ cartridges.
This time, they didn't even know how to respond.
At the temporary survivor camp, there was a wind-type ability-user. Due to his ability's offensive power, he held an important position in the camp and was part of the decision-making team.
They had thought that person was already very powerful—but now, compared to the Phantom team members, he looked like a joke.
After Qin Luzi finished filling the CO₂ cartridges, he handed the guns over and said, "If the cartridges are empty, just find me. I will refill them for you. Unless necessary, don't use your abilities."
Xun Che accepted the gun and said, "Okay."
Not long after, Zhang Yuan walked over and asked, "Is everything ready?"
Qin Luzi nodded and replied, "Vice captain, we are ready to go."
Jin Xuyan divided the team into two groups—one would open the way, and the other would guard the rear. They would take turns every hour so that everyone could rest and recover their energy. Xun Che and his team would remain in the center of the formation.
"Let's go!"
With Jin Xuyan's command, they moved toward the biggest shopping mall in the commercial district. The moment they entered the perimeter, the surrounding zombies noticed them.
"Roar!"
Pop! Pop! Pop!
The moment the zombies pounced, they fired their airguns, killing them efficiently. Due to the high number of zombies, they could only move forward slowly.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
As they advanced, they continued killing the zombies one by one. While the team members killed the zombies, Shen Jinzhe and Jin Xuyan burned the corpses, and Jiao Lizhi and Xiao Qi checked the crystal cores.
Watching the seamless coordination, Xun Che and his team carefully observed and took mental notes of their teamwork.
Forty minutes later, they finally reached the shopping mall. This time, the number of zombies exceeded tens of thousands outside the building.
"Roar!"
"Be careful. There are several level-two zombies and one level-three zombie in this area," Qin Luzi warned.
Just as he finished speaking, a fireball the size of an exercise ball came flying at them at high speed.
Boom!
Before it could hit them, a blue fireball the size of a watermelon shot forward and collided with it in the air.
Although the blue fireball was smaller, its temperature and power were higher. After extinguishing the red fireball, it continued flying and hit a group of zombies, killing them instantly.
"It's a level-three zombie!"
At Qin Luzi's warning, the Phantom team members holstered their guns and drew their blades.
Fighting higher-level zombies with guns was ineffective; it was hard to aim properly, and the chance of being unable to block the attack was too high. Rather than waste ammo and risk injury, it was better to fight with blades.
Just as he finished speaking, two more fireballs flew at them. This time, Jin Xuyan unsheathed his longsword and slashed horizontally.
Wush~ Boom! Boom!
A crescent-shaped black fire blade flew out and collided with the fireballs mid-air. The resulting explosion sent waves of wind, dust, and debris flying.
"Stay in formation. I will handle that zombie. The rest of you, keep clearing the rest of the zombies."
"Yes, Captain!"
The moment he finished speaking, Jin Xuyan bent his knees and leapt into the air.
CLANG!
The sound of his blade clashing with sharp claws echoed through the area. Meeting the pair of black eyes, Jin Xuyan narrowed his eyes and slashed down.
Duagh! Boom!
Sensing the danger, the zombie kicked Jin Xuyan, sending him crashing to the ground. The impact cracked the ground, while the zombie landed atop a nearby car.
"Roar!"
The zombie let out a furious roar and spit three fireballs at him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fireballs hit the ground where he fell and exploded on impact. Seeing the explosion, the Phantom team members' eyes widened in shock.
"Captain!"
Before their voices faded, Jin Xuyan shot out of the dust cloud. While still airborne, he slashed downward his longsword, sending another flame blade toward the zombie. Unlike before, this flame blade was larger and faster.
BOOM!
Before the zombie could react, the flame blade reached its target. To avoid being killed, the zombie twisted its body.
Crash!
"Roar!!"
It narrowly avoided death—but not injury. Its shoulder was severed, and its arm fell to the ground, both covered in black flames.
Seeing this, the corner of Jin Xuyan's lips lifted slightly. After landing, he raised his hand. The next moment, the wisp of black flame on the zombie's body suddenly blazed up.
"Roar!"
