The smile that was once refreshing now seemed like a crawling insect from a stinking sewer, making one's entire body uncomfortable.
Yun Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand, and green vines instantly shot towards the opponent.
Han Gang tried to block it, but was pushed aside by Han Jiajia.
"Dad, wake up!" Han Jiajia shouted.
She vaguely sensed something was amiss.
Those zombies were too strange.
They had never encountered anything like this before.
Only the zombies in this small town were like this!
No, to be precise, it was only after they rescued Tong Zhan that the zombies started to become strange.
Now that she thought about it carefully, when they rescued Tong Zhan... was it really a rescue?
At that time, Tong Zhan was indeed surrounded by zombies, but the two sides didn't fight.
What if, from a different perspective, those zombies weren't attacking Tong Zhan, but just standing around him, waiting for his orders?
As she was thinking, Tong Zhan, standing behind her, suddenly let out a low chuckle.
Seeing the green vines approaching him, he grabbed Han Jiajia, who was within arm's reach, and used her as a shield.
Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't retract her attack in time, and the green vines swiftly pierced through Han Jiajia's chest.
"Ugh!" Han Jiajia's face contorted in pain, her eyes beginning to lose focus.
"Jiajia!" Han Gang looked at the scene before him in disbelief.
It happened so quickly that he couldn't accept it.
"You!" He pointed at Tong Zhan angrily, his eyes trembling with rage.
The person he had been defending had just killed his daughter!
"Don't worry, considering how loyal you've been to me, I'll give your daughter another life," Tong Zhan said with a smirk. Before Han Gang could understand what he meant, Tong Zhan bit into Han Jiajia's neck.
Han Jiajia's eyes, which were about to close, suddenly widened. Her black pupils gradually became blurry and pale, soon more white than black.
The veins on her neck and face bulged, instantly transforming her once-gentle face into something terrifying.
Her throat emitted a 'hur hur hur' zombie growl, the sound piercing Han Gang's eardrums.
"Ahhhhh! I'll kill you!" Han Gang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he lunged at Tong Zhan.
"Go on, have a nice 'chat' with your dad," Tong Zhan said with a smile playing on his lips.
The next second, Han Jiajia twisted her head 180 degrees, staring intently at Han Gang. With a roar, she pounced on him.
Seeing his daughter trying to bite him like a maniac, Han Gang, a grown man, shed tears of regret.
At this moment, he finally understood that what the little girl had said earlier was true!
Tong Zhan really was a zombie!
Otherwise, why would Han Jiajia turn into a zombie immediately after being bitten by him?
Regret and self-blame covered his entire face.
Looking at the face that bore such a strong resemblance to his wife's, Han Gang was in agony.
It was because of his stupidity that his daughter had died!
He no longer had the face to meet his wife.
As Han Jiajia was about to bite his neck, he smiled through his tears.
"Eat, Dad knows you're hungry."
He endured the excruciating pain in his neck.
Soon, his eyes changed, becoming numb, lifeless, filled with a craving for fresh blood...
All of this happened in an instant.
Yun Xiaoxiao had been entangled with a mutant zombie.
Just as she finished dealing with it, she saw Han Jiajia gnawing on Han Gang's neck.
Han Gang's neck was a bloody mess, bitten beyond recognition.
Yun Xiaoxiao frowned, her cold eyes turning towards Tong Zhan.
She saw him giving her an innocent look, even shrugging his shoulders.
"He wasn't listening to you earlier, so I helped you get rid of him. Aren't you happy?"
"By the way, what's your name? When you die, I'll keep you by my side. How does that sound?"
"And why did you know I was a zombie? The people in this town didn't know. You should have seen how shocked they were when I bit them to death."
Tong Zhan seemed to have found someone to talk to and kept rambling on.
"And then there were my gambling addict father and stepmother. Their screams were particularly miserable, but... those screams were so melodious!"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became. However, he noticed several green vines shooting towards him, and his expression instantly darkened.
"You're not being good. Those who aren't good... must die!"
His eyes changed, a flash of ruthlessness passing through them.
The next second, the zombified Han Gang and Han Jiajia suddenly turned their heads and charged towards Yun Xiaoxiao.
Two more mutant zombies also surrounded her.
Yun Xiaoxiao and her little pet were instantly entangled.
However, they quickly broke free.
Seeing that in just a few more minutes, Yun Xiaoxiao and her scorpion would kill the remaining two mutant zombies, Tong Zhan frowned.
He glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao, jumped off the car, and quickly ran towards the horde of zombies.
"Little Darling, hold them off," Yun Xiaoxiao said urgently. After repelling the mutant zombie beside her, she hurriedly gave chase.
She absolutely couldn't let him escape!
Ling Jing, who had just finished dealing with the mutant zombie near him, saw this and quickly moved to follow.
"Little one, what's wrong?"
"Catch him, don't let him run away!"
"Alright."
Ling Jing was faster than Yun Xiaoxiao. As soon as he finished speaking, he darted forward.
Soon after, a cloud of black mist rose from the zombie horde.
Just as Yun Xiaoxiao caught up, she saw a figure being kicked out of the zombie horde.
Who else could it be but Tong Zhan!
He crashed hard onto the ground, but being a zombie, he felt no pain and quickly stood up.
However, as soon as he got to his feet, Yun Xiaoxiao transformed Lord Slasher into a red-tasseled spear, hurled it forward, and impaled it into his head.
She caught up, gripped the end of the spear, and violently twisted it.
Tong Zhan's eyes widened, his mouth opening and closing, seemingly unwilling to die like this.
His eyes were fixed on Yun Xiaoxiao, as if trying to etch her image into his blood.
Finally, he let out a roar of anger before falling straight down.
He died with his eyes wide open!
Yun Xiaoxiao dug out the zombie crystal core from his head. It was a green level-four crystal core.
Fortunately, his strength hadn't grown to the terrifying level of her past life, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to deal with him today.
With Tong Zhan dead, the remaining zombie horde was no longer a threat.
Mu Yang and Nie Yizhou used metal walls and earthen walls to seal them inside the small town.
Yun Xiaoxiao found Xiao Feng and had him use fire to incinerate Tong Zhan's corpse.
With Xiao Feng's enhanced fire power, Tong Zhan's body quickly turned to ashes, leaving nothing but cinders.
Everyone began to clean up the battlefield, collecting the crystal cores.
Once everything was done, they prepared to return to the vehicles and continue their journey.
However, Yun Xiaoxiao noticed that Ling Jing wasn't moving.
She frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
Ling Jing gave her a lazy smile, "You all go ahead, I'm not coming."
"Why?"
"I don't see much point in going with you. I prefer being alone, free to do whatever I want."
