Casualties were starting to appear within those various organizations, the small ones whose strongest fighters were only Mid Rank 3 were like cannon fodder in front of the Wintry Moon Zombies.
“Boss, the situation is not looking good.”
Lei Xing was feeling strained against such a large amount of enhanced Wintry Moon Zombie. Lei Xing needs to use a High-Rank Magic Energy Equipment for the fight now.
“Just focus on protecting yourself, ignore the rest.”
“Okay.”
Lei Xing took out four fist-size shields from his storage equipment.
High Rank 3 Magic Energy Equipment, Shield Guardians. When injected with meta-energy, the shields would expand to half the size of the user and circle around the user, blocking all sources of damage that are aimed at the user.
Lei Xing passed two of the shields to Yang Tian while injecting the remaining two he has with meta-energy. The two shields greatly enhanced Lei Xing’s safety.
Actually, the two shields would not be of much use to Yang Tian, but it was better than nothing. Yang Tian activated the shield and they started to float around Yang Tian.
The Rank 4 and higher Wintry Moon Zombies were handled by several people, so Yang Tian focused on the High Rank 3 ones instead. Even with the unique area effect boost, these zombies were unable to last beyond one attack from Yang Tian.
Yang Tian would make sure to keep all the Wintry Crystals for each zombie he killed, allowing the Wintry Crystals in his storage ring to reach a considerable amount.
“Bang!”
A huge sound was heard, Ji Tian Luo and the others were knocked back by their opponent. Lei Hu’s right leg was completely frozen now, a large twenty centimeters wound was on his right thigh, the blood flowing out from the wound was black. The remaining two Early Rank 4 was also covered in similar injuries but just not as serious as Lei Hu.
Ji Tian Luo’s hair was in a slight mess; fortunately, there were no injuries on her. This caused Ji Hou Tao, who was hiding in the shadows, to sigh in relief as well.
“Lei Hu, return first!” Ji Tian Luo said.
“No, I have not received the order to pull back!”
Following orders was a soldier’s responsibility, even if Lei Hu were left with a last breath of life, he would not take a step back without receiving the command.
The expressions of the other two did not change, treating as though this was only something natural.
The Mid Rank 4 Wintry Moon Zombie attacked again, this time, it targeted Lei Hu. The Wintry Moon Zombie’s intelligence was not low and knew to attack the weakest one in a group.
The Wintry Moon Zombie charged; at the same time, ten icicles appeared around its body. These were not ordinary icicles, they possessed the corrosive Corpse Energy of the Wintry Moon Zombie.
Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh
The icicles were launched at Ji Tian Luo and the other two soldiers, while the Wintry Moon Zombie maintained its gaze locked onto Lei Hu. The latter knew that his situation was not looking good, especially when Ji Tian Luo and the rest were unable to help him.
“Even if this daddy is to die, I am going to pull you along with me!”
Powerful bluish-white light was emitted from Lei Hu, Ji Tian Luo, and the other two knew that Lei Hu was about to use a powerful move.
“Quickly move away!” Lei Hu shouted towards Ji Tian Luo trio.
The Wintry Moon Zombie could detect danger coming from Lei Hu and wanted to turn away from him, but Lei Hu had appeared behind the Wintry Moon Zombie and locked his arms tightly around the waist of the zombie.
“Run!”
Ji Tian Luo trio saw the bluish-white light on Lei Hu expanding and quickly turned to run away.
Lei Hu’s situation has attracted Yang Tian’s attention, especially with Lei Hu’s current energy signature, it was even more terrifying than the Mid Rank 4 Wintry Moon Zombie now.
“That is… Thunder Explosion.”
A suicide skill that causes total self-destruction. The skill was powerful enough that even the Mid Rank 4 Wintry Moon Zombie would likely not be able to survive the explosion.
Boom
The force created from Thunder Explosion caused Yang Tian to take three steps back, the metahumans and zombies nearest to the explosion were all affected by its aftershock.
The Domain Skill that the Mid Rank 4 Wintry Moon Zombie used disappeared at the same time.
The bluish-white light continued for a full ten seconds before it started fading away and emitted the scent of charred smell.
Yang Tian used Mental Examine to check the situation.
“Not dead?”
Yang Tian’s eyes squinted slightly, that was impossible. Even if the Wintry Moon Zombie was stronger than Lei Hu, lightning is highly effective on zombies. Moreover, the power of the explosion should have exceeded the zombie’s range of endurance.
“Crackle”
A green piece of metal fell from the Wintry Moon Zombie’s body.
“Crackle, crackle.”
A large amount of green metal started to fall off the Wintry Moon Zombie.
“That is a Mid Rank 4 Emerald Rock Carapace Armor.” Yang Tian did not expect that the Wintry Moon Zombie has a Mid Rank 4 Defense Equipment equipped.
Even though the Wintry Moon Zombie had sacrificed the Emerald Rock Carapace Armor to block the explosion, it was still seriously injured.
The wind blew away the smoke and revealed a Wintry Moon Zombie riddled with injuries.
“Puu.”
The Wintry Moon Zombie vomited a mouthful of white blood, its energy signature was withered.
“What! How is it still alive?”
“It is not dead! How is that possible!”
The two soldiers beside Ji Tian Luo were finding it hard to believe that the Wintry Moon Zombie was still alive after Lei Hu’s sacrifice.
Ji Tian Luo was also in disbelief, but she noticed the green shards underneath the zombie had had a rough guess of what might have happened.
“Do not panic, it is near dead. Let us quickly kill it!” Ji Tian Luo shouted.
Her voice calmed the two soldiers.
Indeed, there was not an area on that Wintry Moon Zombie’s body that looked intact, it would be easy to deal with it in its current state.
“Die!”
Ji Tian Luo trio adjusted their conditions and immediately attacked the Wintry Moon Zombie.
The Wintry Moon Zombie looked at the incoming trio with a terrified expression, it was too heavily injured and could no longer handle any one of them, even an Early Rank 3 metahuman would be capable of killing it.
Swoosh
A figure moving at extreme speeds passed by and carried the heavily injured Wintry Moon Zombie away. It was the Early Rank 4 Wintry Moon Zombie that Jiang Lie was fighting. Jiang Lie was chasing after his opponent with an embarrassed expression, he was shocked to see the Mid Rank 4 Wintry Moon Zombie alive and allowed his opponent to use that opening to leave the battle and to perform the rescue.
Ji Tian Luo trio displayed their unhappiness towards Jiang Lie, Lie Hu had sacrificed his life to allow the situation to reach this advantage.
“Go!” Ji Tian Luo said.
It was not the time for blame now, they need to kill the Mid Rank 4 Wintry Moon Zombie or all their efforts before would be for naught.
