Wen Yi Tong wanted to save him, but was almost grabbed by the zombie’s other arm. Wen Yi Tong quickly unleashed a spatial blade.
The spatial blade was dodged by the zombie, only leaving a wound on its body, which did not affect its movements at all.
But this spatial blade angered the zombie. It immediately abandoned the person and lunged at Wen Yi Tong.
Wen Yi Tong dared not get close to it and could only retreat, unleashing spatial blades to attack it.
While the zombie was attacking Wen Yi Tong, the others also seized the opportunity to attack the zombie.
After paying the price of injuries all over their bodies, they finally killed the zombie. The good news was that none of them had died, only suffered severe injuries.
Wen Yi Tong’s abilities were also depleted, and the wound on her arm had split open. She had never been so disheveled since entering the apocalypse.
A member of the team cut open the zombie’s head and extracted the red crystal core. Looking at its bright red hue, instead of happiness, everyone felt a heavy heart.
This was a high-level zombie. They didn’t know if there were more zombies of this level in the city, or even in this building. And how many of them could they deal with?
Wen Yi Tong held the red crystal core in her hand. It was crystal clear and red, shimmering with a captivating halo. It was a size larger than ordinary crystal cores and contained more abundant energy.
Absorb it. As long as she absorbed it, she would definitely be able to advance to level six.
Wen Yi Tong couldn’t tear her gaze away from the crystal core, and thus didn’t notice the similar gazes of the people around her directed at the crystal core.
“Let’s find a room to rest for a while, it’s not safe here.” Wen Yi Tong retracted the crystal core and looked at her band of injured and disabled team members.
They all braced themselves and stood up. They all knew that if another attack came now, even from an ordinary zombie, their group would have no choice but to surrender.
When they reached a room with a seemingly sturdy door, they locked it from the inside and found a place to rest.
Wen Yi Tong took out food and water from her space, and also brought out a first-aid kit for them to bandage their wounds.
“Boss, this place is too dangerous. The others haven’t made a sound. Do you think they have already…” he trailed off.
This building was far more dangerous than they had expected. They didn’t know how much longer they could hold on, nor what dangers lay ahead. But it was this uncertainty that was even harder to accept.
The separation of their comrades and wave after wave of danger made them feel that the path ahead was incredibly bleak.
“Boss, why don’t we leave?” one person said hesitantly.
Although he knew that Wen Yi Tong’s decisions were hard to change, the current situation was different. In their current state, they were completely incapable of achieving their goal.
“Leave? How do we leave? Look down!” Wen Yi Tong’s voice carried a hint of madness. “Tell me how we leave?”
Hearing Wen Yi Tong’s words, they immediately scrambled up and moved towards the window.
They were currently on the fifth floor of the building. Looking down from the window, everything was clear.
After seeing the situation below, everyone’s faces turned pale. “How, how could this be?”
Below, the zombies stood densely packed, and in the distance, more zombies were rushing towards them.
The sheer number of zombies made one wonder if all the zombies in the city were heading their way.
“So, even if we get out, what good would it do? Can you fight those zombies?” Wen Yi Tong had noticed the approaching zombies earlier, but her unintentional glance just now had also shocked her with the number of zombies below.
“The only way forward is to level up. When I reach level six, or even seven, and you all reach level five or six, we will have a chance to fight our way out of those zombies.”
“But, boss…” someone still had concerns.
“No buts. I have enough supplies in my space. What’s more important than our own lives? Just focus on leveling up, and don’t think about anything else!”
Wen Yi Tong didn’t want to hear their disheartening words. Things were already like this, and lamenting was useless. They could only try to survive.
After everyone had finished bandaging their wounds, Wen Yi Tong distributed some of the crystal cores she had collected to them to replenish their abilities.
She herself began to absorb the red crystal core.
“Sister’s zombie attraction potion is really effective.” A young man also entered from outside, holding a bottle of drink in one hand and a bag in the other.
He threw the drink he was holding to Wang Cheng, then took out another bottle from the bag and threw it to another young man.
“Where did you get this water? Why is it still cold?” another young man asked him.
“I went up to get it from Sui Sui. You guys know that Sui Sui’s space has evolved into a living room and kitchen now, becoming a complete suite. But I didn’t expect the appliances inside to work. I really don’t understand why.”
He walked in, pulled out a chair, and sprawled on it.
“These people are really weak, not fun to play with!” He saw everyone sitting there, each with injuries, and sneered.
“Try saying that to Sister’s face?” another young man said maliciously.
Wang Cheng also looked at him with a smile. The young man immediately shut his mouth, and after a while, he spoke to Wang Cheng again.
“Brother Cheng, when do we get to play? They’re so weak, they might break before we even get a chance to join in.”
“Don’t worry, Sister said she wants them to level up a few more times before we make our appearance. We can’t bully them too much, can we? You’ll definitely have a chance to show off then!” Wang Cheng understood his meaning. Which of them didn’t want to get involved?
It was they themselves who had trapped the zombies in this building. There was more than just one zombie with evolved speed and strength here.
Each subsequent floor had different zombies. This building was like a game with levels to clear. They were the NPCs set within the game, and Wen Yi Tong and the others were the players clearing the levels.
They all hoped that the players would become stronger, so that they could have more fun, and so that Sister would be happier to watch.
Although they didn’t know if Sister wanted to see it, they themselves were certainly enjoying it.
The more miserable these people were, the happier they became.
“I hope so. Now I’m just hoping they level up quickly. I really don’t know how they trained. The apocalypse has been going on for so long, and their abilities are so terrible.”
“It’s all piled up with crystal cores. How powerful can it be? It’s just some superficial levels. But through these breakthroughs, they should become stronger!”
