“Here it comes!” Brother San bellowed, and the psychic energy which he had just recovered, immediately poured out without any reservation! At the same time, several earth walls rose from the ground almost simultaneously twenty meters away!
Four wide earth walls fit tightly together and enclosed like a cage!
The two mutated zombies were trapped in this cage and slammed headlong into the wall! However, these four walls were forged by Brother San with almost all his powers so they were strong and it would be difficult for the mutated zombies to break through them for a while! Without waiting for Gu Ning to give the order, Zhong Xu silently took a step forward and raised his hands. A huge stream of water appeared out of thin air and rained down into the cage! A constant stream of water poured in and filled it!
The water was rushing down on them with such a huge force that both mutated zombies became very angry and banged into the wall even harder! At the same time, the tentacles flew out as if to break the current, yet even a boulder could not block the way, and how could just a few tentacles stop the current of water? The flesh-coloured tentacles waving haphazardly over the cage, that made the whole scene looked so terrifying and shocking——
As the cage was about to be filled, Zhong Xu shouted: “Jia DaoZhang!”
Jia DaoZhang took a step forward, crouched down, and braced his hands on the ground, releasing all his psychic energy as the ice psychic powers spread rapidly from his hands towards the cage!
Transparent crystals emerged from the ground and quickly covered the cage. The water inside the cage quickly became cold and then began to freeze. However, because the two mutated zombies kept struggling around, it was not that easy to form the ice. With the grit of his teeth, Jia DaoZhang once again mobilized the pitiful remaining psychic energy in his body, the depletion caused his face to turn pale in an instant, and finally —— The water inside the cage began to freeze —— The two mutated zombies’ meatball-like bodies were frozen with the water and then the cold air spread rapidly, trailing along the tentacles that were still flailing and reeling. Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the strangely posed tentacles were finally frozen in ice.
Jia DaoZhang was paralyzed on the ground and couldn’t even get up.
Brother San, Zhong Xu, and Jia DaoZhang immediately replenished their psychic energy with the transparent crystal core.
Gu Ning had given out two transparent crystal cores to each of them beforehand so that they could replenish their powers and she still had more than ten of them left in her hands.
However, just when Gu Ning was halfway relieving her breath, she was choked. An extremely subtle cracking sound reached her ears, and Gu Ning snapped her eyes towards the two frozen mutated zombies.
Gu Ning exclaimed: “The ice won’t freeze them for too long, run!”
She was about to turn around after saying those words when a sharp pain shot through her knees and she almost fell to her knees. Fortunately, she was held by Cheng Ming who asked anxiously: “Gu Ning, are you alright?”
Gu Ning wanted to reply that she was fine, but the sharp pain coming from her knee rendered her speechless.
Seeing that Gu Ning’s face paled, Brother San knew that Gu Ning must have taken a bad fall just now, so he quickly instructed: “Luo Long! Go carry Gu Ning on your back!”
Cheng Ming wanted to carry her but he had not enough strength to do so. His psychic energy was severely depleted and he didn’t have much energy to run with someone on his back now.
Luo Long was gold element psychic power and just now he didn’t contribute much help. After listening to Brother San’s instruction, he crouched down and carried Gu Ning on his back without saying a word, then the group hurriedly ran towards the downtown area while the two mutated zombies were still thawing.
As they passed by the dead mutated zombie, Gu Ning reminded: “Brother San, go and check if there’s any crystal core.”
Surprisingly, he really dug out a bright green crystal core.
Gu Ning was crouched on Luo Long’s back, her knees ached as he ran fast and she could only grit her teeth and bear with it, while her forehead was drenched in a cold sweat. Not to mention that the fact that Xiang Xu, who acts as radar was still unconscious, so Gu Ning dare not relax and kept vigilant to check for any unusual situation.
Fortunately, these mutated zombies occupied these few streets for some reason which caused the remaining zombies to dare not enter here, so they ran without encountering any other zombies.
Brother San ran beside Gu Ning and said: “There’s a basement over at Eleventh Square, let’s go there and hide for a while.”
Gu Ning nodded weakly.
They were large in numbers and although they made a great mess facing the mutated zombie, they could still handle those ordinary zombies. Moreover, their powers were slowly replenished, and they took turns to fight and managed to struggle their way into the Eleventh Square.
After hurriedly descended the stairs, Brother San blocked the doorway with several earth walls to block away from the impact of the zombies that were chasing after them. They breathed out a sigh of relief, then the group all went down the basement. Brother San and some of them had been here before so they were familiar with the surrounding.
Zhang XiaoBai raised his hand, with lightning wrapped around it, it was actually very bright and could be used perfectly like a torch.
Inside the room had a small bed, Xiang Yi placed Xiang Xu carefully on the bed while Luo Long placed Gu Ning on a stool and the others gathered around.
Brother San ran his hand over Gu Ning’s knee and carefully pressed it a few times, his face was grave: “It seems to be a fracture.”
Everyone knew what a broken bone means in the current situation.
Gu Ning’s face was so pale, that the crowd was a little distraught.
Zhang XiaoBai spoke comfortingly: “Don’t worry Gu Ning, we will carry you back no matter what.”
All the people consoled Gu Ning saying that they would definitely protect her safety.
On the contrary, they didn’t know that Gu Ning was worried about something else. The Five Stars Brigade selection was just three days away, how could she drag a wounded leg to defeat such a powerful Five Stars Brigade?
Did it mean that all those efforts these few weeks were gone in vain?
Gu Ning’s expression was a little gloomy.
Brother San said guiltily: “Gu Ning, it’s all my fault. I was the one who didn’t listen to you and insisted to come here. If it wasn’t for you that stayed calm just now, it is difficult to say how many of us would be able to survive it. Now nothing has happened to us, but instead, you’ve been injured.” They all knew the importance of being able to move freely meant for Gu Ning, who had no special ability.
Gu Ning forced a smile: “It’s just a fracture, it’s not like it’s completely broken. Just wait until we get back to the colony and have Dr. Gao fix it for me.”
Anyone could see that Gu Ning’s smile was so reluctant and her sweat-soaked blonde hair plastered to her head and her pale face, it made the rest feel so bad about it.
At this time Hong Jie interrupted: “Let’s get the bones straightened first so that the bones don’t get misaligned and worsen the injury.”
Brother San looked at Hong Jie in surprise and asked: “Hong Jie, since when do you know how to connect the bones?”
“There’s a lot more that you don’t know.” Hong Jie replied as she directed them to cut the stool and then tore the gauze and got ready. Hong Jie squatted in front of Gu Ning and said: “Gu Ning, just shout it out if it hurts.” Gu Ning nodded, so Hong Jie carefully lifted her leg slowly and said after a few touches and presses: “Luckily it was only a fracture if not——“ She suddenly applied a strong force on Gu Ning’s knee while speaking halfway through her sentence. They heard a teeth-gritting grating sound of bones rubbing together, Gu Ning let out a muffled grunt and grabbed Cheng Ming’s hand hard next to her.
“It’s connected. I’ll secure it for you now.” Hong Jie continued as she skilfully tied the two stool legs to the fracture area while asking: “It’s been many years since I’ve last practice it, so I’m a bit rusty. It hurts a lot, doesn’t it?”
Gu Ning’s head was covered in sweat and she barely managed to pull out a smile: “It’s alright.”
Yet anyone could see that she wasn’t doing very well right now.
For a while, the atmosphere in the room became a little depressing.
The basement was already small, and with twenty or so people crammed into it, it became even more cramped.
Brother San used his psychic power to make an extra earth bed, then spread a blanket and placed Gu Ning on it.
Afterward, those who had special abilities were all hurriedly seizing the time to recover, while those who didn’t have special abilities were wiping their guns and knives. Hong Jie rummaged through the drawer and found a small half candle. After lighting it up, Zhang XiaoBai stopped acting as a human lightbulb anymore.
Gu Ning closed her eyes tiredly, she wasn’t able to accept the fact that she couldn’t participate in the Five Stars Brigade selection and looked a little dejected. The others exchanged glances with each other, trying to think of something they could say to comfort Gu Ning, but none of them knew what to say at this point to make her feel better.
Jia DaoZhang who was sitting on the ground and leaning against the wall with his eyes closed to recover his powers, as if he sensed something, Jia DaoZhang suddenly opened his eyes and glanced casually towards the earth bed, then closed his eyes again. Then, feeling as if something was odd, he snapped his eyes opened again and looked over. Out of extreme surprise, his voice even changed tone: “Where is she?!”
Jia DaoZhang’s surprised tone rang out in the basement and startled everyone at once.
They all glanced towards the earth bed in unison and then all of them stood up in shock. Staring at the empty earth bed in shock and were dumbfounded.
Gu Ning, who had just been lying on the bed, had disappeared into the thin air!
Bang —— A sound rang out, and there was a huge splash on the otherwise calm sea, and something heavy fell from the sky into this green sea.
Gu Ning’s whole body plunged into the water and then kept sinking.
A second ago, Gu Ning was lying on the earth bed being depressed, and the next second she fell into the water.
Frightened, Gu Ning struggled subconsciously, paddling her hands until her head surfaced from the sea and wiped away the dripping water off her face. Looking at the familiar landscape on the shore, Gu Ning’s mind was still a bit puzzled.
Why had she suddenly come back to the space?
This was the first time this passive return to the space had happened. The last time was when she lost consciousness after being bitten by a zombie and was sent to this space.
A little confused about the current situation, Gu Ning decided to go ashore first, so she paddled her hands and feet and swam towards the shore.
Gu Ning stood on the shore looking inexplicably at the green sea in front of her, thinking in her mind that she had just disappeared into the thin air then those people in the post-apocalyptic world must be going crazy for her?!
