Chapter 13: On the Brink of Death

l arrange it right away."After finishing the important matters, Ripple retracted the teleportation magic circle.After receiving two vials of the reagent, Connor went to find Elder Three himself. If hi...At the order, with vehicles stopping in the middle of the road, the little warriors jumped out in an orderly fashion and stood in formation. They began firing first, taking down a wave of zombies that were nipping at their heels.

Zhao Chonglin let out a sigh of relief after hearing the gunshot, reinforcements had arrived!

After supporting Gong Hai, they tried their best to snipe the zombies and stop the zombie horde from pursuing them. Unfortunately, they had limited ammunition and manpower, so they could only escort the convoy desperately on the road. All vehicles took turns shooting at the zombies to slow them down, but unfortunately, they ran out of bullets again.

Zhao Chonglin couldn't stand by and watch his soldiers go to their deaths, but he also couldn't abandon them. So, he called for reinforcements from his superiors. Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived in time.

"Speed up and put distance between us and the horde, give them time to set up the barricades!"

"Yes!"

After the order was passed down, Zhao Chonglin's convoy sped up quickly and soon joined forces with the reinforcements.

Wu Lianyi and five other accompanying ability users, including Sun Wang, also stood in their respective positions, ready to attack at any moment.

The ripples of her eyes were fixed on the passing cars, hoping to catch a glimpse of Yunrou. Sadly, the vehicles sped past, leaving it impossible to tell which one she might be in.

"If only I could locate Yunrou, she wouldn't have escaped from under my very nose."

Wu Lianyi curled her lips.

"Cough! Target location has been identified!"

Having already been dismissed as a nonexistent communicator by the Patriarch Ripple, he suddenly spoke.

"You're getting out of this!"

Lian Ri resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

"Because this place entered the apocalypse before, the magnetic field changed, so the signal isn't good!"

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me where Cloud Soft is!"

Liàn yī only didn't want to hear the other party's explanation. The other party clearly wanted to force her to take on a task beyond her capabilities when she was helpless, like calling out to heaven and earth with no response. So she didn't give the other party a good face either.

"

The communicator immediately sent Yunrou's location map to the Ripple Ancestor.

A ripple flashed in her eyes, and she immediately discovered that Yunrou was actually in the last vehicle of the convoy, followed by a security detail. She instinctively shot out a bead-sized thunderball, striking the rear tire of the car where Yunrou was seated.

The vehicle suddenly skidded, but luckily the driver was skilled and managed to keep it from flipping over. The two people in the driver's seat immediately got out and discovered that the rear tire was flat. They immediately ran over here.

A car from the supporting fleet immediately drove past. Everyone from the previous cars switched to this one. When Wu Lianyi saw Yun Rou's figure, she smiled and walked straight up to the captain of their car and said:

"Captain, that beautiful lady named Yun Rou is my sister. Her awakened ability is very powerful, it's corrosive water, suitable for group attacks and extremely lethal. She's also kind-hearted and will definitely be willing to support us."

The captain was a bit surprised, but seeing Wu Lianyi's earnest face, after thinking for a moment, called over the deputy captain and directly conducted a on-site recruitment.

Wu Lianyi watched the little warrior run past and called out to Yunrou, who was about to get into a car. When Yunrou looked over, Wu Lianyi even waved at her. Yunrou's face visibly darkened.

"Fire!"

A shout interrupted Wu Lianyi and Yunrou's "deep" eye contact.

As the sound faded, bullets flew out, knocking down the zombie at the front who was moving the fastest. With more and more zombies falling, the tide of the undead was temporarily halted.

The vehicle carrying people sped away, leaving only Zhao Chonglin's small detachment and the military truck that had been tampered with by the ripples to come to a halt.

Zhao Chonglin met up with his supporting convoy and parked the vehicles across the road, forming part of a barrier.

Yun Rou saw Zhao Chonglin, and her original refusal was withdrawn. She gritted her teeth and agreed to the call-up of the little warrior, but her eyes towards Wu Lianyi became increasingly hostile.

Here, warriors took turns engaging the zombies, while the mutants prepared their attacks.

The battle here was raging, Sun Wang's hand holding the knife was already sweating. The somewhat arrogant superhuman also had a look of tension on his face at this time, apparently he didn't expect the scene to be so big either.

But these were still not enough for the Ripple Ancestor who had experienced the tide of beasts. In her eyes, these were simply humanoid targets standing there. As long as their aim was accurate, they would be quickly slaughtered.

"Superhero support ready!"

With the captain's reminder, everyone entered a combat state. Because the car at the front was already submerged by zombies, the superpower users immediately rushed forward. For a moment, various superpowers fell, and with the assistance of thermal weapons, they gained the upper hand.

Wu Lianyi, with Sun Wang, both having each other's back, slowly engaged in combat with the zombies.

Yunrou, under the protection of the two warriors, seized the opportunity and launched a corrosive water sphere. It exploded in mid-air, sending droplets raining down. The effect was quite good; after their heads were corroded with holes, the zombies would soon fall to the ground.

Wu Lianyi felt that her way of acting gracefully and calmly was effective. She had at least eliminated some zombies, and Yunrou was intentionally getting closer to her.

“What a dog that can't change its eating habits!”

Yu Lianyi saw through Yunrou's intentions at once. She wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of her, and if she couldn't eliminate her, she would at least try to set a trap. She was just waiting to see what kind of tricks the other side would play.

Yunrou was tripped by a zombie at her feet, the corrosive water orbs she released seemed to lose their aim. They didn't even have time to explode before flying towards Wu Lianyi and Sun Wang's location.

"Sun Wang, take me away, in the direction where Yun Rou is!"

Almost as soon as Yunrou tripped, Wu Lianyi spoke up.

Sun Wangye had been paying attention to Yunrou since early in the day. This person was a white lotus flower, and she was also being held back by Lianyi, so he definitely wouldn't be hiding anything good. So when Yunrou approached, he also noticed it.

The corrosive water sphere fell with a theatrical gasp from Yun Rou. Before her smugness could fully settle, she noticed the ripples and the boy had vanished.

The next moment, a tremendous force struck her. She felt a searing pain in her back and was flung into the horde of zombies!

"No!!! Help me!!!"

Yunrou's screams were instantly drowned out.

Sun Wang's face was a little pale because he had used his abilities twice in a row, but he was also relieved that he had dodged the white lotus's design.

Two warriors guarding Yun Rou were shocked and wanted to rush forward to save her, but they had already lost sight of their target.

“Mission objective health is depleting, nearing death.”

The communicator's voice echoed in Wu Lianyi's mind.

"Don't tell me until he's dead!"

Wu Lianyi grew impatient and began to hack and slash zombies with her sword, chopping them up like vegetables. Sun Wang followed closely behind, wielding his own knife to slay the undead. He was currently unable to use his abilities.

Soon, a vacuum zone formed around Wu Lianyi and Sun Wangzhou, with piles of zombie corpses littering the ground.

"Warning! Warning! Tasker, please be advised, the target soul has once again left its vessel! The target soul has once again left its vessel!"

Wu Lianyi's swordstroke veered off course, cleaving the zombie before her in two. Then, with a face as cold as frost, she said:

"Say that again!"unny.After the ripples were helped to sit down, she sent everyone to stand around the pavilion, not to disturb her from cooling off. She only left Mei Zhi and Feng Yu to accompany her:"Mei Zhi, shell...
