The observation room was not far from the protection wall, and Fang Yuxin arrived at the place quickly. When she got there, she immediately saw Fang Jintang seated in meditation, recovering.
She was startled and began to worry. The battle had just begun a short while ago; with Fang Jintang’s strength, there was no way he should have retired this early. What had he done to have exhausted himself ?
Walking briskly to where Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe were, Fang Yuxin first looked at Fang Jintang’s complexion. Seeing that he was only slightly pale and not injured, she asked Qu Qianhe in a low voice, "Mom, what’s wrong with Dad? How did he become so drained?"
Initially, Qu Qianhe also thought that Fang Jintang had been too reckless. Although it was right to contribute as much as he could, there was no need to risk his life. Fang Jintang had exhausted all his spiritual energy on the protection wall, and if he were attacked by mutant zombies, he might not even have the ability to resist!
How could he be so reckless!
But even though she resented his actions internally, seeing Fang Jintang’s pale face only left her feeling heartbroken. Moreover, since Fang Jintang was busy recovering, she said nothing. Now that she saw Fang Yuxin, she felt as if she had found her pillar of strength and, pulling on Fang Yuxin’s hand, she started complaining in a low voice, "Xinxin, your dad was really being reckless just now. He created a huge swamp that separated the protection wall and the zombie group, and all his energy was used up."
Given that there were many people around, worried about being overheard, Qu Qianhe didn’t say ’spiritual energy’, just ’energy’. Hearing this, Fang Yuxin also felt that Fang Jintang had indeed been reckless, but being his daughter, it wasn’t right for her to criticize him. So, she just gently patted Qu Qianhe, as a way of comforting her.
That was just Qu Qianhe venting; after speaking out, the little bit of resentment in her heart completely disappeared. Only then did she realize something was off. Wasn’t Fang Yuxin supposed to be in the observation room treating the wounded? Why had she come here?
Thinking that something might have gone wrong, Qu Qianhe began to worry about Fang Yuxin again, "Xinxin, why are you here? Did something happen?"
Fang Yuxin shook her head slightly and said, "Mom, stay here with Dad. I’m going to kill zombies."
Hearing her say this, Qu Qianhe’s heart tightened. She wanted to say ’don’t go, it’s too dangerous,’ but as her lips moved, she still didn’t say it.
Now was not the time to be willful and selfish. More importantly, she trusted her daughter! So, the words that came out were, "Xinxin, take good care of yourself and don’t overdo it. Make sure you come back safely!"
Fang Yuxin nodded. Seeing Qu Qianhe’s nervousness, she smiled reassuringly, "Mom, don’t worry. Your daughter knows her limits; I’ll be fine." After saying this, she hugged Qu Qianhe and turned, striding toward the protection wall.
Due to the swamp outside, the zombies couldn’t come over for the time being. However, the zombies were not foolish; they bypassed the swampy area and turned to attack the places not covered by the swamp.
Fang Yuxin had already surveyed the situation outside with her spiritual sense, so she walked directly across the wall corresponding to the swamp to the area where the attack was the fiercest.
As soon as she arrived, a lightning-fast shadow suddenly appeared at the top of the wall and with screams, the two people standing there were thrown out. Then, the Speed Mutant Zombie quickly jumped down, starting a new massacre.
"Quick, get out of the way!"
Screams continued to rise one after another, the air thick with the strong smell of blood mixed with the rotten stench and the pungent smell of gunpowder.
Fang Yuxin quickly drew out her Miao Saber from her waist, her eyes cold as she watched the Speed Mutant Zombie wreaking havoc and strode forward.
Her stern voice rang out, making those who heard it instinctively dodge aside; some, unable to react, froze in place. Fang Yuxin deftly avoided other people and in an instant, reached the Speed Mutant Zombie. The black blade, wrapped in Wood Element Spiritual Energy, shimmered with a faint green luminescence under the glaring lights, appearing eerie.
Her blade was quick; as the Speed Mutant Zombie charged at her, with a swift movement, the blade flew downward swiftly across its head, splitting it into two.
As the blade slid down, Fang Yuxin quickly retreated, avoiding the sharp claws thrust out by the zombie. Also, the moment she pulled out her blade, she extracted the Crystal Core from the zombie’s brain.
The body, now devoid of the Crystal Core, fell heavily to the ground, and Fang Yuxin wiped her fingers on Lan Re, which automatically detached from her hand. Lan Re stretched out instantly, wrapping around the Speed Mutant Zombie. As it wrapped around, the sharp blades rotated rapidly and, in an instant, devoured the zombie’s body, leaving only a clean, black skeleton.
