Chapter 44: Mutated Ice System

y prominent wives in Kyoto, so it didn't raise much suspicion.But Mrs. Yao wanted to completely get rid of the illegitimate son because she knew that if her child's identity was exposed, then this ill...A lone group braved the wind and snow, arriving at the entrance of City C after three days. They hadn't yet found a place to rest when suddenly, a figure covered in blood burst from the side and collapsed in front of the leading vehicle.

Luckily, the car leading the way was going slowly because of the heavy snow and slippery road. Otherwise, it would have hit us flying long ago.

After the entire convoy was forced to stop, they immediately used walkie-talkies to contact the front and inquire about what had happened.

An hour later, the Black Hawk team landed at a farmhouse in the outskirts of City C and met with the injured captain of the Black Panther team.

Seeing the other party's somewhat pale complexion, both Yingyi and Yingao frowned and asked in a low voice:

"Black Panther, how did you get yourself into this state What happened"

"Cough cough cough!"

A series of coughs poured from Black Panther's mouth, and a nearby fire-wielder immediately heated a cup of water and offered it to their captain.

After taking a sip of hot water, the black panther stopped coughing and waved his hand weakly.

This time it was our carelessness. The sudden temperature change before alerted us, and we realized something wasn't right. We knew that zombies would be slower at night due to the low temperatures, so we took the risk of venturing into the city center to search for supplies.

The result was that we encountered a level 5 psychic zombie. It was an ice-type psychic, and it injured many of our comrades. I was pierced in the lung by an ice spike and seriously wounded. I only managed to save five comrades.

"We thought at first that if we couldn't beat it, we'd just leave. But the zombie was very smart; he targeted our squad and would kill anyone who tried to escape. We tried to break out three times but failed, so now we're stuck."

The Black Panther Squad members chattered excitedly as they began to replenish their supplies. After half an hour, Eagle Wing and his team had a good understanding of their situation.

It seems we overlooked the ice-type zombies. This weather is an advantage for them. They can level up quickly by plundering cores from their kind and eliminating mutants. If we let them develop unchecked, after this cold snap, they'll be a force to be reckoned with. Then it would cost us even more to eliminate them.

I'm afraid that injured superpower was thrown in front of our car. It must have been the zombie. He sees us as his dinner too, using the injured superpower to lure us here and then trap us for a slow feast. Our team are all high-level superpowers. To him, we're the perfect stepping stone for advancement."

Wu Lianyi narrowed her eyes and spoke frankly.

The members of Black Hawk Squad listened to Wu Lianyi's words and each one was eager to fight. They wanted to have a good go at it, after all, the zombie saw them as food, and they wanted its level 5 crystal nucleus! After all, only Ziying had broken through to level 5 so far, and they all felt that she must be using some kind of cheat.

"We were already planning to go to the city center of C to gather supplies. Now we just have an extra task of eliminating level 5 zombies, which doesn't affect the overall plan. Everyone rest tonight and follow the plan tomorrow."

With the eagle's wing strike settling the matter, everyone went to their rooms to rest and exchange information with the members of the Black Panther team for more details.

Wu Lianyi brought along Sun Yi, and the two of them went alone to see Captain Yingyi:

"Captain, this is a great opportunity. That level five crystal core of theirs can help you upgrade your abilities, and maybe even expand your water-based powers."

Ying Yi was studying the map of City C. Hearing Wu Lianyi's words, he finally raised his head and said:

"Do you mean to convert water into ice"

"Well, ice is just water in its solid state, it's just a different presentation. I think the captain can pull this off."

Wu Lianyi's sudden outburst moved even Ying Yi, but as the captain, he had to consider the whole squad. So, he called for Ying Ao and Ying Hun, and together they made a detailed plan.

The next day, after the sun rose, the temperature rose back to -35 degrees Celsius. For those with abilities, this didn't affect their movement. This time, the entire team changed their equipment and switched directly to snowmobiles, making it easier for them to navigate the crisscrossing city streets.

In the shadows, a pair of blood-red eyes stared intently at the squad venturing deeper into the city center. It let out a low growl and then leaped from its hiding place.

This time, Sun Yi also acted with everyone else. She was wearing a warm sable coat and sitting behind her younger brother. She patted Sun Wang's shoulder and then said loudly:

"Go to Ripple's side!"

Sun Wang nodded and sped up to Wu Lianyi's side, Sun Yi directly said loudly:

"Purple Hawk, he followed us!"

“OK! Let everyone know to be on guard.”

Fifteen minutes later, the entire squad received the message. They harvested zombie cores while heading towards the Century Plaza Building in the city center.

Because there were too many zombies, no one had set foot in the post-apocalyptic world, which meant that a large amount of supplies had been preserved. This is also why they came even though they knew it was dangerous.

The sign of the Century Building, though eroded and beyond recognition, still stands firm, pointing the way for all to see.

Everyone drove their snowmobiles into the underground parking lot and, under Sun Yi's lead, went straight to the storage room.

The entire team remained together, prepared for a sudden attack from the ice-element zombie, but during the process of collecting supplies from the warehouse, nothing unexpected happened. It was even smoother than expected.

"This is meant to strike when we're at our weakest."

With a glint in his hawk-like eyes, he said with enthusiasm.

"I think he will definitely make a move on the way back. Being able to hold back until now is already the limit."

Wu Lianyi nodded and said.

The space ability user filled their own space, the other team members hung sleds behind snowmobiles, pulling full of supplies back.

With a deafening boom, a massive snowball slammed into the middle of the road, halting the entire snowmobile squad.

Here we go!

The eagle-wing first leaped from the snowmobile, a fire ability user throwing a fireball that began to melt the snowballs blocking their way.

Then, ice cones as thick as arms rained down on the entire squad, beginning an indiscriminate attack.

Wu Lianyi leaped into the air, spreading out a vast lightning net that blocked all the ice cones. With a flick of her wrist, she sent the ice cones flying back to the fifth-level zombie.

With a ferocious roar, a white zombie emerged before the crowd. It was the Level 5 zombie.

The other party's eyes, lacking pupils, stared fixedly at Wu Lianyi. This food posed the greatest threat to him.

Eaglewing also came to Wu Lianyi's side, while Sun Wang took his younger sister to hide aside.

Sun Yi looked at the zombie, frowned, and whispered something to Sun Wang's ear. Sun Wang nodded in slightly surprised attention.

"Captain, Purple Eagle, attack his eyes. That's his weak spot."

"Roar!"

The opponent, seemingly realizing Sun Wang had exposed his weakness, roared angrily, and an ice spike immediately shot towards Sun's siblings.

As the glacier approached the two people, it melted into a puddle of water. wanted to see where they were going to take the child.Du Mingyi, now transformed into black mist, felt a sense of unease in his heart. Tonight was his last time making a move against Guiyue City, and...
