As they neared the stone wall, they discovered a hidden staircase in the pitch-dark cave, spiraling upward.
Black Six was located at the highest point of the spiral staircase.
However, if he went up, only Bai Junjun would be left here.
Leaving a girl to deal with eight hundred zombies was indeed too cruel.
So, even though Li Wenli reached the stairs, he still didn’t climb them and instead kept killing as many zombies as possible.
Fortunately, their clothes were made of Leviathan Skin, which even knives and guns could hardly pierce, let alone teeth.
Several times, when his arms were grabbed or his legs were torn at by bites, the Leviathan Skin acted like the most durable armor, enduring the pulling and gnawing of the living dead without a single tear.
During these attacks, he would take the opportunity to kill the biting zombies.
Still, after killing more than a hundred, Bai Junjun finally felt the weariness in her body increasing.
She wished there was a place where she could rest a bit to recover some stamina.
No sooner had she thought this than the space in her mind trembled.
Bai Junjun diverted a bit of her attention, not expecting her Special Ability to disappear, yet the space was still there.
With this realization, hope surged in Bai Junjun, and she shouted to Li Wenli, "Fox, space!"
The moment Bai Junjun spoke out, Li Wenli began to check himself.
Once he felt the presence of the space, he consciously moved towards Bai Junjun.
The two of them summoned their last bit of strength, cut their way out of the encirclement, and rushed together, finally embracing each other in a desperate attempt reminiscent of moths to a flame.
The next second, they found themselves falling through air, landing amidst a pile of salt.
Covered in the blood of the living dead and filthy, they rolled into the salt pile, and the pristine salt instantly absorbed the filth on them, turning into clumps of Black Salt.
Bai Junjun, heartbroken, could only bucket it up.
"They say ghosts fear salt; wait till I use this on them."
"They are not ghosts," Li Wenli replied with a smile.
The place was crammed with their stuff, and to make enough room to sit down, they had to pull and slowly move things together.
Once they had cleared a small space, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.
Of course, the first thing they did upon sitting was to check their internal conditions, and that’s when they were astonished to find,
The Special Ability that they had clearly searched for in vain just then reappeared.
Li Wenli and Bai Junjun were filled with astonishment, clearly having never encountered such a situation before.
"By the way, I vaguely felt from the time at Jade Pond that my senses were being blocked,"
Bai Junjun seriously reviewed.
While talking, she took a sip of the Magical Wood Water, and with this sip, her stamina gradually recovered.
Li Wenli too drank Magical Wood Water and said, "I didn’t notice when the Special Ability disappeared, but it must be related to the thing Black Six was holding."
Bai Junjun deeply agreed.
The change must have happened when they were close to Black Six.
That thing was likely some kind of signal jammer.
The fact that they regained their Special Ability when they returned to the space was the best proof.
"Whatever it is, demon or spirit, they dared to challenge us, they better be prepared for the consequences," Bai Junjun spat out, somewhat annoyed.
In The Apocalypse, having suffered greatly from mutated zombies, the thing she despised most was the presumptuous human modification plans.
