Chapter 63

“They’re coming!” Third Brother shouted, his recently replenished special ability poured out almost without reservation! At the same time, several earth walls sprang up from the ground about twenty meters away!

Four thick earth walls seamlessly joined together to form a single enclosure!

The two mutated zombies were trapped inside this enclosure, one of them charging headfirst into the wall! However, these four walls were forged by Third Brother with almost all his special ability, and despite their strength, they couldn’t break through immediately! Without waiting for Gu Ning’s command, Zhong Xu silently stepped forward, raised his hands, and a massive stream of water appeared out of thin air, pouring down into the enclosure! The water kept flowing in endlessly!

Hit by the powerful stream of water, the two mutated zombies became enraged and started bashing the earth walls with even greater force! At the same time, their tentacles flailed wildly, seemingly trying to disrupt the water flow, but even a giant rock couldn’t stop it, let alone a few tentacles? The flesh-colored tentacles waved chaotically over the walls, creating a terrifying and shocking sight—

Just as the water was about to fill up, Zhong Xu shouted, “Daoist!”

Jia Daozhang stepped forward, crouched down, placed his hands on the ground, and without holding back, his Ice Ability rapidly spread from his hands towards the enclosure!

Transparent crystals emerged from the ground, quickly covering the walls, and then the water inside the enclosure began to turn icy cold, starting to freeze. However, because the two mutated zombies were constantly struggling, the ice wasn’t forming easily. Jia Daozhang gritted his teeth, once again drawing on the pitiful remnants of his special ability. The depletion of his ability instantly turned his face pale. Finally—the water inside the enclosure began to freeze—directly encasing the two mutated zombies’ bulbous bodies along with the water. The cold rapidly spread, attacking the still flailing tentacles. When those grotesquely shaped tentacles were finally frozen in the transparent ice, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Daozhang collapsed on the ground, unable to get up.

Third Brother, Zhong Xu, and Jia Daozhang immediately replenished their energy with new crystal cores.

Before coming, Gu Ning had given each of them two transparent crystal cores that could replenish their special abilities. She still had more than a dozen in her hand.

However, Gu Ning’s relief was cut short. A very faint cracking sound reached her ears, and she sharply turned her gaze towards the frozen mutated zombies.

Gu Ning said, “The ice won’t hold them for long, run!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to turn around when a sharp pain shot through her knee, causing her to nearly collapse. Fortunately, Cheng Ming caught her, asking anxiously, “Gu Ning, are you okay?”

Gu Ning wanted to say she was fine, but the waves of pain from her knee left her speechless.

Seeing Gu Ning’s pale face, Third Brother knew she must have been badly hurt from the fall and quickly called out, “Luo Long! Carry Gu Ning!”

Cheng Ming wanted to carry her but didn’t have the strength, as his special ability was severely depleted and he couldn’t muster the energy to carry someone and run.

Luo Long, who had a Metal Ability and hadn’t had a chance to use it earlier, immediately crouched down and carried Gu Ning on his back without a second thought. The group then hurriedly ran towards the downtown area while the two mutated zombies were still frozen.

As they passed the dead mutated zombie, Gu Ning reminded them, “Third Brother, check if there’s a crystal core.”

They actually managed to dig out a green crystal core.

Gu Ning, lying on Luo Long’s back, endured waves of pain in her knee as Luo Long ran, her forehead drenched in cold sweat. She didn’t dare relax for a moment. With Xiang Xu, their radar, still unconscious, she had to stay alert, constantly checking for any unusual presences.

Luckily, for some reason, the zombies didn’t dare approach the streets where these mutated zombies had been, so they didn’t encounter any zombies along the way.

Third Brother ran beside Gu Ning and said, “There’s a basement at Eleven Plaza, let’s hide there for now.”

Gu Ning weakly nodded.

Despite being numerous, they had been in a tough spot facing the mutated zombies, but they could handle the regular zombies. With their abilities somewhat replenished, the ability users took turns recovering their energy, and they managed to fight their way to Eleven Plaza.

After hurriedly descending the stairs, Third Brother blocked the entrance with several earth walls to stop the pursuing zombies, finally allowing them to catch their breath. The group then went down further. Third Brother and the others had been here before, so they were familiar with the place.

Zhang Xiaobai raised his hand, electricity crackling around it, providing a bright light that could be used for illumination.

Inside the room was a small bed. Xiang Yi carefully placed Xiang Xu on it. Luo Long set Gu Ning down on a chair, and everyone else gathered around.

Third Brother gently touched and pressed on Gu Ning’s knee, his expression grave: “It seems like a fracture.”

Everyone knew what a fracture meant in their current situation.

Gu Ning’s face was pale, and everyone felt a pang of worry.

Zhang Xiaobai comforted her, “Gu Ning, don’t worry, we’ll carry you back if we have to.”

Everyone expressed their determination to ensure Gu Ning’s safety.

However, they didn’t know that Gu Ning was worried about something else. The Five-Star Brigade selection was in three days, and how could she compete with a injured leg against such a formidable team?

Was all her effort these days going to be in vain?

Gu Ning’s expression darkened.

Third Brother said guiltily, “Gu Ning, it’s my fault. I didn’t listen to you and insisted on coming in. If it weren’t for your calmness in the crisis, who knows how many of us would have survived. Now we’re all fine, but you’re the one who got hurt.” They all knew what it meant for Gu Ning, who didn’t have any special abilities, to be unable to move freely.

Gu Ning forced a smile, “It’s just a fracture, not completely broken. Once we get back to the gathering place, Doctor Gao can set it for me.”

Everyone could see the strain in Gu Ning’s smile, and with her golden hair plastered to her forehead from sweat and her pale face, it was heartbreaking to see.

At this moment, Hong Jie said, “Let’s set the bone first to prevent it from misaligning and becoming irreparable.”

Third Brother looked at Hong Jie in surprise, “Hong Jie, since when did you know how to set bones?”

“There’s a lot you don’t know about me,” Hong Jie said, directing them to chop up a chair and tear a curtain for preparation. She crouched in front of Gu Ning and said, “Gu Ning, yell if it hurts.” Gu Ning nodded, and Hong Jie carefully lifted Gu Ning’s leg, pressing a few times before saying, “Fortunately, it’s just a fracture—” She suddenly applied force mid-sentence, and a grating sound of bones rubbing against each other was heard. Gu Ning let out a muffled groan and grabbed Cheng Ming’s hand beside her.

“It’s set. I’ll fix it in place now,” Hong Jie said, expertly binding two chair legs to the fractured area. “Haven’t done this in years, a bit rusty. Does it hurt a lot?”

Gu Ning, drenched in sweat, forced a smile, “It’s bearable.”

But it was clear to everyone that she wasn’t doing well.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat oppressive.

The basement wasn’t large to begin with, and with over twenty people crammed inside, it felt even more cramped.

Third Brother used his ability to create an earthen bed, laid a blanket over it, and settled Gu Ning onto it.

Those with abilities quickly took the time to recover their energy, while those without cleaned their guns and knives. Hong Jie found a small stub of a candle in a drawer, and after lighting it, Zhang Xiaobai stopped being the human lamp.

Gu Ning wearily closed her eyes, struggling to accept that she couldn’t participate in the Five-Star Brigade selection, feeling somewhat despondent. The others exchanged glances, wanting to say something to comfort Gu Ning, but none of them knew what to say to make her feel better.

Suddenly, Jia Daozhang, who had been sitting against the wall with his eyes closed recovering his energy, seemed to sense something. He opened his eyes and glanced casually at the earthen bed, then closed them again. Feeling something was off, he abruptly opened his eyes and looked again, his voice changing in extreme surprise, “Where is she?!”

Jia Daozhang’s shocked voice echoed in the basement, startling everyone.

They all turned to look at the earthen bed, then stood up in shock, staring at the empty bed, speechless.

Gu Ning, who had just been lying on the bed, had vanished into thin air!

With a splash, the calm sea surface suddenly erupted as something heavy fell from the sky into the green ocean.

Gu Ning plunged into the water, sinking deeper and deeper.

One moment she was lying on the earthen wall, heartbroken, and the next she was falling into the water.

Startled, Gu Ning instinctively struggled, paddling her arms to swim upwards until her head broke the surface. Wiping the water from her face, she looked at the familiar scenery on the shore, her mind still in a daze.

How had she suddenly returned to the space?

This was the first time she had been passively brought back to the space. The last time was when she lost consciousness after being bitten by a zombie.

Temporarily unclear about the current situation, Gu Ning decided to head to the shore first, so she swam towards it.

Standing on the shore, Gu Ning looked bewilderedly at the green sea before her, thinking to herself, “If I just disappeared like that, wouldn’t the others go crazy?!”
