Er Pang wandered slowly in the middle of the intersection.
Dong Tiejun quickly identified the core of the problem.
As long as the giant wolf moved east, the zombie horde to the east would automatically retreat.
And the zombie horde to the west would advance a few steps.
Similarly, if the giant wolf moved in the opposite direction, the zombie horde would follow suit.
In this case, it meant the zombies feared the giant wolf?
Dong Tiejun had never seen zombies afraid before.
This made him even more curious and impressed by the giant wolf and its owner.
No matter how loudly the vending machine blared, the zombies simply refused to approach.
Xiao Bai seemed unfazed, as if nothing was happening.
With a forceful pull of her hands, she shattered the tempered glass, sending shards scattering across the floor.
Then, her eyes lit up with excitement as she gazed at the vibrantly packaged food and drinks.
She first picked up a bottle of juice.
Twisting off the cap, she took a sip.
Delicious!
Xiao Bai's eyes gleamed as she gulped down more than half the bottle.
She then discarded the remaining amount on the ground.
She didn't understand the concept of saving, acting purely on impulse.
Next, she grabbed a packet of biscuits, tore it open, and took a bite!
This was also delicious!
Xiao Bai sat down on the floor and began to eat ravenously.
She was starving!
Roar~
Suddenly, a fierce roar echoed from afar.
Then, a massive figure charged towards the intersection.
It was the Giant Tank!
It trampled the ordinary zombies in its path.
With each heavy step, the ground trembled.
A Type III mutated infected?
Dong Tiejun's eyes narrowed into slits.
This was bad; the vending machine had attracted this guy!
Its strength was exponentially greater than the Crawler's,
just as the Crawler's strength was a huge leap from ordinary zombies.
It was outrageously powerful!
He hoped the giant wolf could win this one-on-one.
Roar~
Er Pang sensed the threat from the Giant Tank, baring its teeth and slowly positioning itself in front of Xiao Bai.
Aow~ Roar~
A Giant Tank was the first to emerge from the zombie horde, lunging towards Er Pang.
Aowuu~
Er Pang let out a sky-piercing howl!
Four smaller giant wolves slowly emerged.
Five wolves pounced, pinning the Giant Tank to the ground and tearing into it.
The four smaller wolves bit down on its limbs.
Er Pang clawed ferociously at the Giant Tank's chest, ripping and tearing at its body as it did so.
This... the giant wolf... is too strong!
Dong Tiejun was so envious he felt like exploding on the spot!
Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu...
What was that sound!
Everyone's hearts tightened.
Then, a Weeper, covering its face, appeared before Xiao Bai.
As it landed, it crushed the vending machine.
With its hands covering its face, it slowly walked towards Xiao Bai!
An—another Type III mutated infected?
Dong Tiejun's hands felt numb.
He genuinely didn't want the little girl to die at the hands of a zombie.
But with his current strength, going forward would be suicide.
It wouldn't have the slightest impact on the outcome...
Despair filled everyone's eyes.
The little girl was doomed!
Xiao Bai paused, staring at the crushed snacks in the broken vending machine.
Then, she raised her head, her eyes filled with anger as she looked at the Weeper.
You ruined my snacks!
Xiao Bai suddenly lunged forward!
Everyone couldn't even see what happened.
They just saw the Weeper flying backward.
Wuwuwu~
The Weeper spread its arms, and after landing, it flickered and quickly circled behind Xiao Bai!
Such speed!
This is bad, the little girl is finished now!
However, Xiao Bai suddenly dodged, grabbing the Weeper's hair.
With a casual swing, she slammed it hard onto the ground.
Not satisfied, she swung her little arms with all her might, using the Weeper's head as a pivot, sending it flying to the other side again.
Thump! Thump!
The Weeper, which instilled fear in the survivors,
was tossed around like a doll in Xiao Bai's hands.
It had no dignity whatsoever!
Finally, Xiao Bai threw the Weeper onto the ground and slowly raised her little foot...
Wuwuwu...
The Weeper struggled to dodge, a large clump of its hair was yanked out, and it narrowly escaped Xiao Bai's foot before it landed.
However, where her foot had been, a large pit was directly stomped into the ground!
You're not escaping!
Xiao Bai's speed completely outclassed the Weeper.
She flashed forward, grabbed the Weeper's arm, and proceeded to kick it violently.
After a series of maneuvers,
the Weeper lay on the ground, completely still...
Xiao Bai, still not satisfied, stomped and crushed its head with a single kick...
On the other side, Er Pang had also finished its battle.
The Giant Tank was mostly devoured.
If Er Pang hadn't been too full, it would have swallowed the bones as well.
Having eaten its fill, Er Pang slowly walked back to Xiao Bai and lay down.
Xiao Bai angrily stomped on the Weeper's corpse again and again.
The Weeper's earlier action had spilled all the drinks from the vending machine.
The food was crushed into pieces, scattered everywhere.
It was no longer edible.
Um... I have some food here...
Dong Tiejun took out a sausage and tossed it to Xiao Bai from a distance.
He dared not approach such a terrifying being.
If Xiao Bai were to casually throw him like she did the Weeper, he would be dead!
Mmm, delicious!
Xiao Bai took a bite, and her mood immediately improved.
Er Pang brother, let's go!
Xiao Bai jumped onto Er Pang's back, also bringing Zhang Chen and Xu Ruina along.
Leaving?
Dong Tiejun quickly went to the Giant Tank and the Weeper to collect from them.
In an instant!
A golden light circulated through him.
He had leveled up!
He had successfully advanced to Beginner Awakener Stage 3.
It cost 1500 energy cores for a single talent to advance from level 2 to level 3.
The Weeper and the Giant Tank combined gave them 1100 points, and that was before any energy bonuses.
Leveling up was incredibly easy!
Quick, follow!
Dong Tiejun beckoned to his team members!
The others, in fact, had already followed without him needing to say anything.
As Er Pang began to move, the distant zombie horde also started to stir.
The surroundings were densely packed with zombies, at least a thousand of them.
If they didn't follow now, would they wait to die on the spot?
Dong Tiejun and the others were forced to follow Er Pang and Xiao Bai.
Their only hope now was that Er Pang wouldn't run too fast...
...
Meanwhile, at the Isaac Hotel.
Isaac had been extremely agitated for the past two days.
The person who had provided him with the Ice Condensing Flower had died!
Not only had he failed to learn the whereabouts of the Ice Condensing Flower, but he hadn't even managed to obtain any seeds for it.
In the end, he only managed to get three Ice Condensing Flowers.
And today was the last day of the deadline Zhang Chen had given him. Without a reasonable explanation...
He would likely be meeting his own end.
He glanced at Bazel, who had just advanced to Beginner Awakener Stage 3, with eyes full of resentment.
Just then, someone silently appeared beside him and asked in a low, hoarse voice:
Do you know someone named Zhang Chen?
Behind his cloak, a blood-red S13 insignia was printed.
