"Let's go underground and take a look?" Shen Muyu had an idea as he looked at the hole dug by the zombies.
After withdrawing his mental energy, he extended it into the pit.
"Hiss..." Looking at the dense plant roots in the pit, Shen Muyu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
What's frightening isn't the stem itself, but the human-faced flower that appears every short distance away.
"Big White, just find a hole and throw it in." Shen Muyu took out a gas cylinder and gestured for Big White to throw it in.
Little A immediately opened the car door for Big White, and after Big White changed its shape, it bit the gas cylinder and threw it out.
You'll get the hang of it once you throw it a lot, and besides, there are plenty of holes, so you can easily hit them.
After the gas cylinder went in, it was blocked by the roots and stopped in place after sliding for a short while. Seeing this, Shen Muyu took out the rifle that he had previously enhanced and the grenade that he had obtained at the beginning from his backpack.
She planned to do a small experiment first, and if that didn't work, she would throw a grenade in as an ignition point.
Gripping the trigger of his rifle, Shen Muyu stared intently at the gas cylinder inside the cave.
Since her mental power can see into the cave, could a bullet imbued with her mental power transcend spatial distance and appear directly within the range of her mental power?
"Okay, it won't work." It's not that the method is ineffective, but rather that Shen Muyu is currently unable to do both things at the same time.
Previously, when she wanted to attack or envelop the crystal cores of other zombies, she had to concentrate her mental energy on the zombie, and she lost the ability to detect the surrounding environment.
It's the same now; she can only accomplish one thing: use her mental energy to envelop bullets or use her mental energy to explore the environment inside the cave.
"We still have to use grenades." With a helpless sigh, Shen Muyu handed the grenade to Zhan Yi. Only Zhan Yi could do this job, since it was the fastest and the toughest.
Zhan Yi took the grenade, jumped out of the car, ran to the hole where Da Bai had thrown the gas cylinder, pulled out the safety ring, threw it away, and immediately ran back to Shen Muyu.
Because of its small size, the grenade rolled down quickly, only stopping when it was stopped by the gas cylinder.
Before Zhan Yi could even run back, the grenade exploded. The power wasn't as great as Shen Muyu had imagined, but the gas canister was successfully detonated.
An even more violent explosion occurred, and flames suddenly erupted in the cave, causing the road surface to collapse.
Shen Muyu's spiritual power that had been transferred into the area was also affected and was almost severed. Fortunately, she managed to withdraw some of it and thus preserve it.
Zhan Yi was almost on the bus when it was jolted by a jolt and took a flat fall. However, it was agile and, with one hand supporting itself, flipped over and landed steadily on the spot, making Shen Muyu look incredibly cool.
Seeing the firelight at the cave entrance gradually fade, Shen Muyu immediately probed inside with his spiritual power. The roots along the way had been burned to ashes, leaving only some human-faced flowers struggling to survive.
Shen Muyu shared some of his spiritual energy with them and discovered that these human-faced flowers did not have crystal cores, but the black energy was still there, only in smaller quantities. However, the bracelet prevented them from posing a threat to Shen Muyu.
Shen Muyu continued down the firelight, probing into the cave.
"Master, those zombies are surrounding us!" Little A's urgent voice came over. The flower-shaped zombies that were originally wandering around the villa seemed to have been given stimulants and were rushing towards the car.
"Zhan Yi, go and hold them off. Little A can fire a cannonball at the crucial moment." At this moment, Shen Muyu's mental power had already chased far away, almost in a straight line downwards. If the car was driven away, it would probably reach its extension limit very soon.
Shen Muyu didn't want to give up at this time, especially since these zombies were behaving so strangely. There might be a surprise deep inside the cave.
Zhan Yi didn't even get into the car and charged straight at the zombie horde, while Xiao A aimed at the villa, calculated the distance, and fired a shot.
The car wasn't in the villa's yard at the moment, so the chain reaction caused by the villa's collapse didn't affect Shen Muyu and the others too much; they just felt the tremors more strongly.
Because of Xiao A's accurate calculations, the shell landed directly in the middle of the villa, causing the house to collapse from the center, burying the zombies that hadn't managed to escape.
Despite the precision, the two villas next to it were not spared and collapsed due to the earthquake and subsidence.
The twenty-odd survivors in one of the buildings scattered and desperately ran out of the villa.
...
"Damn, that hurts!" Shen Muyu's mental power had been pushed to its limit. Any further and it felt like his head was being torn apart. At the same time, the energy liquid in his body was being consumed rapidly.
"What is that?" Just when Shen Muyu felt like she was about to faint, she suddenly saw a white light, and there seemed to be something inside it.
Bang!
In an instant, Shen Muyu's mental energy was severed, and she immediately fainted.
"Master, it's dawn." Little A had been keeping an eye on the outside, and since there were no cameras inside the car, it didn't know Shen Muyu's current situation.
Big White was paying close attention, and immediately unbuckled his seatbelt and headed towards Shen Muyu, licking her incessantly.
Thinking of what was in the backpack, Da Bai immediately took out a test tube plugged with a cork. This was the energy liquid that Shen Muyu had prepared for it to use after digestion.
It grabbed the stopper with its two front paws, bit it with its mouth, and pulled it out. Usually, it would just tilt its head back and drink it down, but now it couldn't feed it to Shen Muyu and was so anxious that it kept sticking out its tongue.
Fortunately, after the zombies disappeared, Zhan Yi returned to the car and, with Xiao A's half-guessing and half-guessing guidance, fed the energy liquid to Shen Muyu.
Perhaps due to severe depletion of her spiritual energy, the energy liquid was frantically absorbed as soon as it entered her body. However, this amount was still too much for Shen Muyu, causing her eyebrows to furrow.
It took a long time for me to feel comfortable, and my complexion improved considerably.
After a while, Shen Muyu woke up and immediately opened her eyes to look around.
At this moment, Da Bai and Zhan Yi were both around her, and Xiao A's pixelated figure had a few beads of sweat on its head, looking very nervous.
"I'm fine now." Shen Muyu felt refreshed and invigorated. Even her head, which had been throbbing with pain, felt like it had been gently stroked, leaving a tingling and extremely comfortable sensation.
Upon examining herself, she found that her superpower had indeed been upgraded. This could be considered a blessing in disguise, but Shen Muyu dared not try this method again.
She's made it through this time, but if the absorption isn't enough to offset the damage to her body, it would be a huge loss. It's more reliable to take things one step at a time. She's already much faster than others, and she doesn't want to be overtaken by taking unconventional approaches.
Recalling the experience just now, Shen Muyu suddenly remembered the pain of her mouth being forcibly pried open, and unconsciously rubbed the flesh on her cheeks.
"Phew! It still hurts." He glanced at Zhan Yi a couple of times and knew without a doubt that it was Zhan Yi who did it. However, if it weren't for the energy liquid that had been poured in, he might have died from the pain, so he couldn't say anything.
"Zhan Yi, remember to be gentler next time." Well, Shen Muyu still brought it up.
"Gentle?" Zhan Yi was a little confused. What is gentle?
"Just... a little lighter," Shen Muyu explained after thinking for a moment.
Zhan Yi nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Shen Muyu sighed and looked outside. The world before her had returned to its former state, with clean and tidy streets and neatly arranged villas. There was no trace of the bombing that had just taken place.
The only difference is that the survivors are now standing outside the villa, looking somewhat bewildered.
Wait a minute, wasn't the villa about to collapse? How come it's fixed again? Should we go back or not?
Those standing outside were somewhat bewildered and couldn't make up their minds.
"Let's move to another villa, it's not safe here anymore," a man in the middle shouted. A dozen or so people around him responded and followed him, but some still hesitated.
"Let's follow, there are too few of us left," said one of the women who stayed behind, before chasing after them.
These words immediately opened up the situation, and the rest of the people followed suit.
However, Shen Muyu saw someone trying to enter the villa in the middle, but an invisible force stopped him, so he had no choice but to follow the group.
