Back and forth, they tangled for nearly half an hour.
Xu Qian had basically familiarized herself with its attack patterns. It wasn't very intelligent, only relying on brute force.
She moved nimbly, employing a small stratagem.
While it was disoriented about her whereabouts, she swung her right arm and slashed.
Its head fell to the ground with a *thump*.
The head bounced like a basketball and rolled into a corner.
Xu Qian's expression remained unchanged. She stepped forward, split open its skull, extracted the crystal core, and stored it in her space.
She moved on to the next level three zombie.
Predawn.
Two pairs of green, bulbous eyes flickered in the darkness, their forms solidifying.
The two were already inside the house.
Xu Lü wrinkled his nose. Why did this house smell of his sister?
"Roar roar roar."
A green-eyed zombie held up a severed head, split in two, towards him. He saw that the crystal core within the skull was empty.
Xu Lü recoiled a few steps in disgust and said, "Put it down, go!"
The green-eyed zombie still roared, refusing to put it down.
Xu Lü glanced at him indifferently, his voice cold.
"Go."
Xu Lü didn't care if he left or not. He turned and walked out.
The green-eyed zombie hesitated for a moment.
Suddenly, it shoved the skull in its hand into its mouth.
It crunched and chewed, then swallowed it down with a gulp.
After eating, the color of its green eyes became even more ink-like. At that moment, it seemed to deepen by one shade, then quickly returned to normal.
Half a month later, Xu Qian had almost killed all the level three zombies in Province T, managing to kill nearly 30.
Xu Qian guessed that Province T was too close to City B. Most of the level three zombies had been killed by the powerful ability users in City B for exchange, which was why there weren't many level three zombies in Province T.
Since all the zombies in Province T were killed, she decided to visit the base in Province T.
Xiang Jintian was already so busy he was dizzy and had no time to attend to her.
Before she left, he gave her a black and white pager to carry. He would occasionally transmit information to her, but he didn't mention when he would come.
The only base in Province T.
Jintian Base.
Jintian was originally a small city attached to City B, so it was naturally not too bad.
However, the scale of the base was much smaller than Guangming Base. Most people chose to stay in City A, and those at Jintian Base were mostly from Jintian originally.
"Hello."
The guard was dozing off when a clear voice jolted him awake.
The man looked up. First, he saw a pair of exceptionally clean white canvas shoes, without a speck of dust, then black sweatpants and a black and white long-sleeved sportswear jacket.
The guard's eyes widened. Rich people!
So clean?
"Hello, hello. Are you a resident of the base, or are you staying for a few nights? Accommodation in Jintian isn't expensive, much cheaper than Guangming Base. You can rest for a few more days."
He adjusted his expression, maintaining a smile.
The moment he met the girl's gaze, he froze.
This… where did such a celestial being come from!
She had a neat, long ponytail, a small face like a palm, a delicate nose, and small lips. Especially her deep black eyes, which pierced directly into one's heart.
Calm, cool, and chilling.
"I'll stay for two days."
After a long while, the guard finally came to his senses.
"Yes, yes, yes. Do you have an ID card?"
Such a beautiful woman, he thought, must be from City B. If she came from a dilapidated place, there was only one word to describe her: miserable!
Xu Qian's thoughts stirred, and a transparent ID card appeared in her hand, which she handed to him.
The guard carefully took it. Those who possessed transparent ID cards were never simple.
As expected, such a young girl was a dual-element ability user.
And she was a mental plus space dual-element user!
The guard's eyes shone brightly. He held the card up with both hands and said respectfully, "My lady, you may enter the base after the inspection."
Xu Qian glanced at him indifferently, took the ID card, and allowed him to lead the way and arrange everything perfectly.
After the inspection and entering the city, the man stuck to her like a piece of sticky tape.
Xu Qian crossed her arms and asked, "Is something the matter?"
The man shook his head.
"You are a distinguished lady, and the city lord has ordered that every distinguished guest must be treated well. Moreover... we would like to request you to stay in Jintian for a few more days."
"Why?"
