One Shot to Kill You

“Ah, sorry, you were too small, I didn’t see you,” Ke Xingmei said apologetically.

Another early morning for the team, and Bai Xiao An was once again woken up by being stepped on.

“Are you guys doing this on purpose?!

Also, if you have time to apologize, why don’t you just take your foot back!”

Since they were going to collect the mutated core of the Kapok tree today, Bai Xiao An had no objections to waking up early.

After a brief breakfast, the RV team finally entered the city center.

The city center was a very dangerous place.

Due to the dense population, the zombie virus had spread more ferociously.

The more prosperous the area, the more so.

Most humans had now retreated to the suburbs, mountain valleys, and wild ridges to catch their breath.

In particular, the various military bases built in hidden areas had become the last guarantee for most humans.

Bai Xiao An could now vaguely remember the scene of hell on earth she had seen when she escaped from the city center on the first day of the apocalypse.

The streets were congested with vehicles, and fires were frequent in the surrounding buildings.

There wasn’t a single person who wasn’t screaming and fleeing.

Some people, knowing that there was no hope of survival, would even deliberately drag innocent passersby to die with them.

Some people were indifferent to the apocalypse and instead started robbing people on the road, trying to make a fortune.

There were also people who were extremely excited, and rushed into the zombie horde with a machete, only to be torn apart by the zombies’ unexpectedly powerful strength.

The harsh sound of horns on the street never stopped, and the sound of explosions caused by car accidents could be heard from time to time.

Now, re-entering the city center, it was a different scene.

The burning vehicles had been extinguished, and the surrounding buildings had lost their luster.

It seemed that everything here was covered by a lingering shadow.

Of course, the biggest change was the people who had been noisy, screaming, begging for mercy, and fighting on the streets.

They had all now become zombies, mindlessly roaring in this city of death.

Under these circumstances, Bai Xiao An had originally thought that the RV team would choose to quickly reach their destination, then immediately destroy the Kapok tree, collect the core, and immediately run away.

After all, this was the most correct choice.

In this city of death, who knew how many zombies that could be rated as Level Three were hiding, or even… maybe Level Four guys had already appeared.

But she seemed to never be able to guess what the people in the RV team were thinking.

In such an environment, they were actually continuing their “hunting operation.”

A dazzling red light emanated from Bai Xiao An’s body.

The power surging in her blood vessels, wrapped in terrible high temperature, directly smashed the power-type mutant in front of her into the ground.

However, even under this high temperature and unparalleled power that could burn a layer of magma on the ground, this mutant was still not dead.

“This damn thing is at least Level Three,” Bai Xiao An said helplessly, looking at the zombie stuck in the ground with half of its head burned, roaring vigorously.

“Lu Shanshui!
Come and finish it off!” An abnormal crack appeared on the ground around the mutated zombie.

It seemed that this zombie planted in autumn was about to break out of the soil.

“You can’t even get a kill, and you still want me to come,” Lu Shanshui said, but he still arrived in time.

“Anyway, that move of yours can cut through anything.
And you’re better off letting me fight that squishy little guy.
I’m tired of watching you guys dance with each other.”

Lu Shanshui stood in front of the zombie embedded in the ground, squatted slightly, and held his long sword loosely.

The zombie seemed to have sensed something, and struggled more and more violently, and the cracks on the ground also increased at a very fast speed.

However, after a snow-white light flashed, all movement disappeared.

The long sword had slashed out a strike that was completely beyond its length, and what was broken was not only that ugly head, but also a ten-meter-long crescent-shaped sword mark was cut on the concrete ground behind it.

“Amazing, amazing, as expected of a Long Aotian protagonist,” Bai Xiao An applauded from the side.

The corner of Lu Shanshui’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t know what to say.

Ever since he told Bai Xiao An about his system Reborn status that day, the little thing seemed to have given him this subtle nickname.

“This skill requires charging, it’s not something that can be used casually.”

Bai Xiao An didn’t care about Lu Shanshui’s reaction, and turned to walk toward Lu Shanshui’s opponent.

She was really fed up with this thick-skinned, power-type Altered.

The one Lu Shanshui was dealing with was a fast-moving, high-recovery speed-type Altered.

The damage caused by the slash always recovered quickly, and the attacks always hit and ran.

They had been fighting for a long time without being able to cause any decisive damage.

But it was different when it came to Bai Xiao An.

With her ability fully activated, her whole body was a powerful weapon.

Unlike on the Quanchuan Highway, the current Bai Xiao An wasn’t wearing that “battle outfit,” and was instead able to fight more freely.

A black shadow flashed past, and sharp claws slashed at Bai Xiao An’s neck.

Under the burst of her ability, Bai Xiao An successfully dodged it, and then directly grabbed this little bastard who was always jumping around with a grappling hold.

Obviously, this mutant didn’t expect this to happen at all.

Generally speaking, humans wouldn’t engage in such close combat with zombies, because even a slight scratch could cause the virus to invade.

Even ability-users had a certain chance of becoming zombies, directly becoming one of the members roaring on the street.

‘Just scratch a little bit of skin!’ the mutant thought.

However, it found that its claws were no longer sharp.

Ren Anhua had directly burned its claws to ashes.

This thin and fragile place had a very poor resistance to high temperature, especially a structure evolved from organic matter.

“Naive fellow,” Bai Xiao An said, strangling the mutant’s neck, pressing it firmly to the ground, not giving it a chance to bite.

The high temperature was instantly turned to the highest, and the thickness of the magma on the ground increased by several layers in a second.

A smell of burnt roasted meat came.

Bai Xiao An picked up the only head left of the mutant.

“I’m telling you, why do you have to hunt in this kind of place…” Bai Xiao An, who was about to put the spoils back in the RV, only heard a cry from Ke Xiaoshan.

Even if she wanted to react, it was too late.

A sharp claw instantly slashed across Bai Xiao An’s neck, and even the trachea and the great artery were hooked out.

If it weren’t for hearing Ke Xiaoshan’s reminder and taking a step back in time, her entire head would have probably fallen off.

‘This damn place is full of high-level zombies for no reason!’ Bai Xiao An thought.

Even if she were to die, she had to at least kill this guy who had sneak-attacked her.

Her ability was instantly fully activated, and Bai Xiao An could guarantee that the other party would go from existing to non-existing in three seconds, but Ke Xiaoshan’s shout made her stop.

“Xiao An!
Dispel your high-temperature protection!” Ke Xiaoshan shouted.

Dispelling high-temperature protection in battle was undoubtedly a dangerous move, but Ke Xiaoshan had her reasons for saying so, and trusting her teammates was also the most important rule in battle.

A gunshot rang out from Ke Xiaoshan’s position, and a bullet directly penetrated Bai Xiao An’s neck.

“Damn it, why!” Bai Xiao An had never expected that Ke Xiaoshan would let her dispel her high-temperature protection just to shoot her in the neck.

She had trusted her so much!

“Hey!
Wait, I can talk!” After being stunned by the gunshot, Bai Xiao An suddenly discovered that not only was she not dead, but the wound on her neck had completely recovered.

Even though half of her neck had been slashed off just now, there was not a single scar on it now, which gave her a dream-like sense of unreality.

After the battle, Bai Xiao An finally knew what was going on, and she had a new understanding of Ke Xiaoshan’s negative attack power.

This girl’s bullets, arrows, and stones, in short, any ranged physical attack that had been touched by her, would all, without exception, carry a powerful healing ability because they were stained with the healing power on her body.

If she deliberately activated this ability, it could even achieve a healing effect that was almost the same as direct contact with her.

Given her poor mobility and weakness in close combat, she would also accidentally heal the enemy, so in real battles, she would use the gun in her hand to heal her teammates.

Wherever they were injured, she would shoot there.

If one shot wasn’t enough, she would shoot two.

In short, it wasn’t a big problem if they were injured.

Just let Ke Xiaoshan shoot them twice, and that was one of the main reasons why no one on the team had been injured or killed so far.

“Hehehe, my ability is amazing, right?” Ke Xiaoshan said proudly.

“Of course, this ability can’t heal the injuries of zombies, but the situation was urgent at the time, and I didn’t have time to run over, so I chose to shoot.”

Looking at Ke Xiaoshan’s innocent smile, Bai Xiao An didn’t tell the unlucky child who couldn’t even kill anyone with a gun what she really thought.

“Amazing, amazing,” Bai Xiao An praised.

“Have you guys discovered that there are some very strange zombies here?” Inside the RV, Xu Huairou looked out the window and continued, “Generally speaking, zombies should be wearing tattered clothes, with missing limbs and festering skin, and walking unsteadily, right?”

“But look, there are suddenly a lot of zombies here that have no clothes, no visible wounds on their bodies, and walk much more steadily.” Xu Huairou moved aside a little, and gestured for everyone to come and observe.

Bai Xiao An naturally went as well.

Those zombies were indeed a bit strange.

Their bodies were naked, their skin was flawless, and there were no sexual characteristics on their bodies.

They didn’t look like they had been transformed from people at all, but rather like plastic mannequins in a shopping mall, just like… brand new objects that had just left the factory.

Bai Xiao An didn’t know why this adjective would pop up in her head.

But these zombies were really too strange.

If it weren’t for their gray and shriveled skin and cloudy eyeballs that marked their identity, perhaps no one would have thought that these things were actually those ugly zombies.

“We’ll find out if we go and take a look,” Lu Shanshui suggested.

“Uh… I don’t think that’s a good idea.
Can’t we just get the core quickly and then let me recover my male body?
We’ve already come this far.
If you want to go on an adventure, I’ll accompany you after we’re done.
I won’t run away,” Bai Xiao An said, a little scared.

She touched her neck, and her neck was still there, so she felt a little relieved.

“Also, didn’t you say you were a Reborn?
You didn’t see these things before you were reborn?”

“I’ve never seen them, so I want to find the source,” Lu Shanshui answered quite quickly.

“Also, we’re still a bit short on cores, so we need to find more of these mutants.”

“What are you guys trying to do?
You’re so short on cores, are you planning to eat cores for a living?” Bai Xiao An complained, but in general, she still had to follow the team’s actions, and didn’t say anything more.

In the city center, while the RV team was conducting their hunt, a life-and-death tense atmosphere was brewing on the edge of the city center.

Song Zhiyang hadn’t expected that he had originally planned to come here to settle things with Ren Anhua, but the first person he met was Meng Fanhai.

“Hmph!
You little hanger-on, what are you trying to do, wearing your boss’s clothes?” Seeing Meng Fanhai’s outfit, Song Zhiyang couldn’t help but laugh.

“What?
Have you also awakened a fire-type ability?
Or do you think you can impersonate your boss by wearing this outfit?
You can stop now.
A person like you will never be able to become Ren Anhua.”

“Of course I can’t become An Hua-ge.
An Hua-ge is not someone anyone can be,” Meng Fanhai said.

He wasn’t easily angered by others.

He reached out and pressed his chest, which was also the fabric that had once been pressed against Ren Anhua’s heart, and said affectionately, “I just hope that I can be a little closer to An Hua-ge.”

Song Zhiyang’s eyelids twitched.

He suddenly felt that this Meng Fanhai was so gay.

He had never noticed that he was this kind of person before.

But thinking about Ren Anhua’s current appearance, it didn’t seem too difficult to understand what he was thinking.

But no matter what Meng Fanhai was thinking in his head, for the Survivor Camp, even without Ren Anhua’s Survivor Camp, the Red Blade Team wouldn’t let it go.

Rather, the Red Blade Team wouldn’t mind pushing a hand, or rather… doing it themselves, to destroy any of Ren Anhua’s forces.

The special operations team was also at the edge of the city center at this time.

Given the importance of the mission and the danger of operating at night, the three different forces had all stationed themselves at the edge of the city center for a night, and had only begun to prepare to enter the city this morning.

As a result, they hadn’t expected that the camp and the Red Blade Team would look like they were about to fight as soon as they met.

“Captain,” Zhao Sanyan said, following behind Wan Xingbang and pointing at the two groups of people who were at daggers drawn over there.

“Aren’t we going to do something?”

Wan Xingbang looked over and only sneered.

“We don’t need to do anything.
They’re just two groups of parasites.
They have strength, but they only consume it through internal strife within humanity.
They neither submit to the military, nor do they add any help to the reconstruction of society.
They’re just a bunch of madmen living in their own fantasies.
No matter how powerful the ability they display in front of me, I will only feel sorry for them.”

“It’s a pity that abilities can’t choose an excellent human on their own,” Wan Xingbang said lightly.

The military entered the city on their own.
