QT: Have Grievances? CAWHYC-Ch44

CHAPTER 44 - Mutated Ice Element

Braving the wind and snow, the group arrived at the entrance of C City three days later. Before they could find a place to stay, a bloody man suddenly rushed out from the side and fell in front of the leading car.

Fortunately, the car driving in front was slower due to the snow and slippery ground, otherwise it would have knocked the person away.

After the entire convoy was forced to stop, they immediately used the radio to contact the leading vehicle to ask what happened.

An hour later, the Black Eagle team settled in a small farmyard on the outskirts of C City and met the injured captain of the Black Panther team.

Seeing the other party's somewhat gray complexion, both Ying Yi and Ying Ao frowned and asked in a deep voice:

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

"Cough, cough!"

A series of coughs escaped from the Black Panther captain's mouth, and a fire ability user next to him immediately heated up a glass of water and handed it to his captain.

After taking a sip of hot water, Black Panther stopped coughing, then waved his hands weakly and said:

"We were careless this time. The temperature changed drastically before, and we also noticed something was wrong. After confirming that the movements of the zombies slowed down at night due to the low temperature, we ventured into the city center to look for supplies.

As a result, we encountered a Level 5 zombie with ice ability, which injured many of our companions. I was stabbed in the lungs by an ice spike and was seriously injured, and only five of my companions were rescued.

We thought at the time that we would leave here if we couldn't defeat it, but that zombie was very smart. He targeted our team and would kill anyone who tried to leave here. We tried to break through three times without success, and we are now in a stalemate."

The members of the Black Panther team began to make additions in a flurry. Half an hour later, it was enough for Ying Yi and his party to understand their situation clearly.

"It seems that we have missed the ice-attribute zombie. This kind of weather is a boost for him. He can quickly advance by plundering the crystal cores of his kind and killing people with special abilities. If he is allowed to develop, he will become more powerful after the extreme cold weather, and we'll have to pay a greater price to kill him.

I'm afraid it was the zombie who threw the injured ability-user in front of our vehicle. He also regards us as his meal, letting the injured ability-user lure us over, then confine us and enjoy it slowly. Our team is full of high-level ability-users, which is the best choice for his advancement. "

Wu Lianyi narrowed her eyes and said bluntly.

After hearing Wu Lianyi's words, the members of the Black Eagle Team all geared up, preparing for a big fight. The zombie regarded them as food, and they also wanted the other party's Level 5 crystal core! After all, Purple Eagle is the only one who has reached Level 5, and they all think that this person is using a cheat.

"We originally planned to go to the central area of ​​C City to look for supplies. Now we just have an additional task of killing a Level 5 zombie. It has no impact on the overall plan. Everyone should rest tonight and we'll proceed according to the plan tomorrow."

After Ying Yi made the final decision, everyone found their own rooms to rest and communicated with members of the Black Panther team to get more detailed information.

Wu Lianyi took Sun Yi and went to see Captain Ying Yi alone:

"Captain, this is a good opportunity. The zombie's Level 5 crystal core can help you upgrade your abilities, and perhaps expand your water-based ability."

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

"You mean convert water element into ice element?"

"Well, ice is solid water, just in a different state. I think the captain can master it."

Wu Lianyi's reasoning made Ying Yi a little tempted, but he was the captain and was responsible for the entire team, so he called Ying Ao and Ying Sun and made a detailed plan.

The next day, after the sun rose, the temperature rose back to -35 °C, which did not affect the movement of the ability-users. This time, all members of the team changed their equipment and switched to snowmobiles, which made it easier for them to travel around through the criss-crossed urban area.

In the dark, a pair of bright red eyes stared closely at the team traveling deep into the city center. They roared, then jumped out of their hiding place.

This time, Sun Yi also acted with the others, wearing a warm mink fur and sitting behind her younger brother. She patted Sun Wang on the shoulder and said loudly: 

"Go to Lianyi!"

Sun Wang nodded and accelerated to Wu Lianyi's side. Sun Yi said loudly:
"Purple Eagle, he's coming!"

 "All right! Tell everyone to stay vigilant."

Fifteen minutes later, the entire team received the news. While harvesting the zombie's crystal cores, they headed towards the Century Plaza building in the city center.

Because there are too many zombies, no one has set foot there after the apocalypse, which means that a large amount of supplies have been preserved. This is why they still have to come here even after knowing the danger.

The Century Building sign has been corroded beyond recognition, but it still stands, pointing the way for everyone.

Everyone drove the snowmobiles into the underground parking lot, and then, led by Sun Yi, they went directly to the warehouse.

The members of the entire team did not disperse, and were prepared to fend off the sudden attack of the ice-type mutant zombie. However, during the process of collecting supplies from the warehouse, no accidents occurred, and it even went too smoothly.

"He's preparing to strike when we let our guard down."

Ying Yi's eyes flashed and he said with great interest.

"I think he will definitely take action on the way back. This is the limit of what he can endure."

Wu Lianyi nodded and said.

The space ability-user filled up his own space, and the other team members tied up sleds full of supplies behind the snowmobiles and prepared to return.

With a "bang", a huge snowball hit the middle of the road, blocking the entire snowmobile team.

"He's here!"

Ying Yi was the first to jump off the snowmobile, and the fire ability user threw a fireball and began to melt the snowball blocking the road.

Icicles as thick as an arm rained down on the entire team, starting an indiscriminate attack.

Wu Lianyi jumped into the air, opened a huge lightning net and blocked all the icicles, then flicked them back to the Level 5 zombie.

A "roar" sounded and a snow-white zombie appeared in front of everyone. It was the Level 5 zombie.

The other party's white eyes were staring at Wu Lianyi. This food was the greatest threat to him.

Ying Yi also came to Wu Lianyi's side, while Sun Wang hid aside with his sister.

Sun Yi looked at the zombie and frowned. Then she whispered something in Sun Wang's ear, and nodded under the other party's slightly surprised gaze.

"Captain, Purple Eagle, attack his eyes, that's his weak point."

"Roar!"

The zombie seemed to understand that Sun Wang had exposed his weakness, and roared at the other party, then an icicle came flying directed at the Sun siblings.

Just when the icicle was about to reach the two people, it turned into water and fell into a puddle.
