Everyone was already very close to the village, less than 100 meters away.
Geng Yan surmised that there should be a lot of zombies near this area and loudly instructed, "Put a bit more strength into it and finish these people up."
Geng Yan continued to chase, but his sight fell on the cement road below the archway[1] at the entrance of the village.
The ground was very clean as if someone had deliberately swept it.
“Ah!”
One of the people got hit by a fireball, and their body immediately burst into flames.
The other three companions’ strength also gradually became exhausted, their hearts brimming over in despair. However, at the same time, resentment also started to grow wildly in their hearts.
They will probably give their final accounts here today. These devils who wanted their lives...
Their resentment against Geng Yan's team had reached its peak, and they wanted to pull Geng Yan and others to be buried along with them. But they never stopped to think about it, that they were the ones who wanted to plot against Geng Yan’s team with ill intent at the beginning.
The three continued to attack, but in fact, they no longer held onto the hope of being able to survive.
Geng Yan and the others all persisted in their attacks and another person fell. Meanwhile, the other two were still attacking. Gao Xun sidestepped to avoid an ice blade before continuing to attack the two in front of him.
Ji Anran was about to release an arrow but suddenly froze in the middle of his movement.
Something’s wrong!
After having been avoided by Gao Xun, the ice blade continued to fly straight up according to its initial inertia. But from the difference in height of the two people, this angle and trajectory didn’t make sense!
That person's target wasn’t Gao Xun at all!
Ji Anran quickly turned back and saw the ice blade stab into the large red satin flower that was hung on the archway. The sound of a plastic bag being pierced sounded, followed by the sound of something raining down.
In the blink of an eye, there was a pool of blood on the ground, where the smell of blood was even stronger than that of those on the people in front of them!
Meanwhile, not far away, a few zombies that had rushed over because they had scented the injured humans had already reached the intersection.
There were quite a number of zombies in the village. From a glance, they were numerous and densely packed, very frightening. But what made Ji Anran even more anxious was that zombies from farther away would now also be attracted over by such a strong bloody scent.
"Not good, they're going to blow themselves up!"
Geng Yan's ability to make a prediction was very strong, and he immediately informed the team members as soon as he saw the signs.
Everyone reacted and quickly moved to avoid it.
Although they didn’t receive much in terms of injuries, the situation wasn’t anything they could laugh out at at all. Their bodies had been splattered with bits of flesh and fresh blood from the explosion, which was very attractive for zombies.
Ji Anran looked at the three large pools of blood in front of him with a face darker than the bottom of a pot.
According to his experience from his previous life, the smell of this blood was enough to attract over all the zombies in this small village!
"Leave." Geng Yan decisively gave an order.
They didn't dare to get into a car, afraid that a fire-ability zombie would hit the car and cause an explosion, so the speed as they left wasn’t very fast.
When the zombies saw the humans, they all rushed over one after another. The scene appeared particularly frightening.
Some of the zombies had already awakened their abilities, using it to attack the group ceaselessly.
Geng Yan and the team killed the zombie as they ran, the resulting bodies scattered along the road.
It wasn't until they were back nearby the farmhouse that all the leftover chasing zombies were completely killed. As the zombies, who ran over due to the bloody smell from the two who exploded themselves, had yet to reach the intersection in front of the village, the group was still safe for the time being.
Geng Yan took out various crystal nuclei for everyone to absorb, restoring their abilities.
Zhou Liang then used his plant-type ability, sending a few vines stretching all the way out to the zombie corpses all over the road, digging out the crystal nucleus from each one’s brain before bringing them back to the team.
After absorbing a large number of crystal nuclei, the team members advanced one after another. Geng Yan became a rank-three ability user. Contrarily though, he didn't open his mouth to urge everyone to hurry up to leave the farmhouse.
Ji Anran smiled. "Congratulations on everyone’s advancement."
Although he seemed very happy on the surface, there was a difficult to repress anxiety in Ji Anran’s heart.
As he had clung to Geng Ge for this past extended period, he hadn’t had many chances to kill zombies, so collecting crystal nuclei was something that need not be mentioned.
If he remains as is and does not advance any further, he will gradually lose his advantage, making it difficult to continue mixing along.
Geng Yan understood Ji Anran very well and so could see the anxiety in Ji Anran's eyes at a glance.
“Anran, don't worry. Our team is much stronger now and will be able to get through this incident safely.” Geng Yan firmly held Ji Anran's small hand and gently comforted the other.
"In fact, I plan to take everyone to go back to kill zombies after a rest. Because of everyone’s advancement, we have consumed a lot of the stocked nuclei and will need to recollect them back as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will face the risk of dying after abilities exhaustion during the next crisis."
Ji Anran: “......”
Gao Xun's face appeared full of zest. "Anran, we’re much stronger than before now, we’ll definitely be able to gather a lot later. If we get into anything troublesome, we can always run. You don't have to feel unhappy just because you're the only one who didn’t advance. I saw that you performed very well today, you're already super strong even without advancing."
Gao Xun's broad and thick palm landed on Ji Anran's shoulder, a glimmer billowing in his eyes.
“You were able to find which car they were in at a glance and could even seize the opportunity to burst their tire... although clearly, you can only forecast the weather with your ability. So whether you advance or not, you’re still someone to be admired!”
Ji Anran, who had been accidentally jabbed in his sore spot by Old Gao: "......"
Why don’t you just shut up!
