Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Puppet

Outside Wanjiale.

Xu Siming and Xia Li coordinated with each other, going back and forth with the giant corpse without much difficulty.

Qi Hao hid in a dead corner, occasionally shooting at the zombies that pounced on him, even having the spare energy to occasionally support Xia Li and the other.

Finding a weakness in the giant corpse, Xia Li leaped and chopped down.

Before the machete could fall, the giant corpse suddenly became frenzied, let out an intense roar, its arms violently shaking and sending the nearby Xia Li flying with a punch.

“Bang!!”

Xia Li, like a kite with its string cut, crashed into a building on the roadside, smashing through two walls before coming to a stop.

Seeing Xia Li buried in a pile of rubble without moving, Xu Siming’s heart filled with shock and rage, his eyes reddening in an instant.

“Ice Seal!”

A cool breeze swept past, with the giant corpse at the center, the power of ice extended out layer by layer.

After two stiff steps, the giant corpse was completely frozen.

Ice Blade arisen from beneath the giant corpse, layer upon layer, densely packed, piercing through the giant corpse and the horde.

Xu Siming’s body emitted a faint water-blue radiance, the energy fluctuations extremely intense, even the hiding Qi Hao felt the piercing cold of winter.

Seeing Xu Siming’s corners of the mouth bleeding, Qi Hao’s breath hitched.

Good kid, he’s really risking his life!

“Splash splash…”

The buried Xia Li moved.

Supporting herself with one hand on her machete, she slowly stood up from the rubble, despite being covered in battle scars, her fiery red eyes sparkled brightly. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Seeing the giant corpse turned into a Hedgehog, a slight smile formed on Xia Li’s lips, her eyes filled with a crazy and excited lust for slaughter, which stunned Qi Hao.

Xia Li slowly straightened her body, dashed to the edge of the building, gave a forceful kick, and leaped toward the giant corpse.

“Whoosh—”

“Crack! Plop!”

The machete swiftly cut through the air, Xia Li chopped off the giant corpse’s head along with a two-finger-thick layer of ice.

“Thud!”

With that earth-shattering strike, the giant corpse’s head heavily smashed onto the ground.

Xia Li too fell to the ground, after several rolls stabilizing her body, she swung another strike at the giant corpse’s head.

With a flash of the blade, the head split into two, revealing a green Crystal Core inside.

A giant head containing a Crystal Core about the size of a fist.

With a scoff, Xia Li pulled out the Crystal Core and placed it into her wrist pouch, beginning a one-sided slaughter of the remaining ordinary zombies.

With the giant corpse dead, Xu Siming breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Xia Li’s figure with complex emotions, his gaze dark and unreadable.

Xia Li seems to have grown stronger…

What kind of freak is this, getting stronger the more she is challenged, like a perpetual motion machine, if she’s not killed, she will inevitably kill her assailant.

He had just relaxed, without a moment to recover, when a loud explosion erupted from the direction of Wanjiale, and the ground under their feet began to tremble slightly.

From the direction of Wanjiale, a giant emerged from the earth.

The giant, approximately several dozens of meters tall, directly flipped over the roof of Wanjiale.

Upon closer inspection, this giant was made up of countless “people’s” corpses, like a massive, animate, humanoid meat pie.

“Roar!!!”

The roar shook the heavens and earth, and the three, Xu Siming’s group, felt the vibrations of the sound waves and the anger embedded in the voice, standing hundreds of meters away.

At the same time, the giant swung its arms, and with its movement, three small figures were thrown out from the palm of his hand.

“Xiao Wan…”

“Wanwan!!!”

Seeing those familiar figures, the three, standing a hundred meters away, after a moment of stunned shock, frantically ran towards them.

Not this, not this, not this…

Please, no harm must come to them!!!

For the first time, Xu Siming heard his own heartbeat, quick like the pounding of drums.

A voice in his ear kept screaming, “Save her! Hurry and save her!!!”

Using water as the medium, Xu Siming summoned a vast ocean, his waves surging rapidly towards Ji Wanwan.

Xia Li was swift and equally unwilling to show weakness, closely following Xu Siming’s steps as they sprinted towards the trio.

Only Qi Hao, who had yet to awaken his ability, stumbled with each step and ran towards his beloved girl with tears in his eyes.

“Please don’t let anything happen… please, don’t let anything happen…”

At that moment, Qi Hao hated himself for being lazy and not serious during training. If he had been a bit more diligent, even just a little, could he be by his beloved girl’s side by now?

…

One minute earlier.

Wanjiale.

Ji Wanwan and the others closely observed the Monkey Corpse, confirming that there was no possibility of survival, and Ji Wanwan removed the Space Barrier.

She moved forward and crouched down to start extracting the Crystal Core.

But to her surprise, the back of the Monkey Corpse’s head was completely empty!

Not good!

This is also a puppet!

The moment she realized this, Ji Wanwan’s hair stood on end, feeling an immense danger enveloping her.

She quickly stood up, formed a Space Barrier around herself and her teammates.

“Gurgle gurgle gurgle…”

The Corpse Mountain in front of them began to move, the originally cut section by Ji Wanwan using a grid-like Space Barrier started to heal.

Ji Wanwan and her team were dumbfounded, even forgetting to speak for a moment.

The Corpse Mountain grew taller and taller, until a giant head with a glowing crimson eye emerged from within, and only then did Ji Wanwan and her team realize that this was the real BOSS.

We can’t let it fully stand up!

Ji Wanwan quickly withdrew the Space Barrier, “Kill it!”

Before her words fell, the grid-like Space slice moved towards the Corpse Mountain.

“Pff pff pff…”

The sound of the Space slice cutting through flesh rang out continuously and Ji Xing’s controlled dagger was also constantly attacking.

Was the attack effective?

No!

The flesh that was cut off recovered in the blink of an eye, even faster than Ji Wanwan and Ji Xing could cut.

At the same time, Ji Wanwan also noticed that even if the brain of the Corpse Mountain was sliced open, it remained unaffected.

Could it be that the Crystal Core is not in its brain?

“Boom!”

Despite its size, the Corpse Mountain moved quickly.

Ji Wanwan had no time to think deeper. In less than five seconds, the Corpse Mountain fully stood up, completely flipping the roof over.

Corpse Mountain looked down at the three little people below like ants and swung a hand down at them.

Ji Wanwan didn’t even have time to use her superpower and was struck, causing a ringing in her ears and dizziness.

A feeling of weightlessness swept over her, and Ji Wanwan gritted her teeth to clear her vision of her brother and Zhou Kai.

With two consecutive bursts of Instant Teleportation, she grabbed her brother and Zhou Kai.

At the same moment, Ji Xing also activated his superpower, controlling nearby metals to buffer their fall.

Even so, when they landed, the trio was stunned and saw darkness before their eyes.

Thanks to the enhancement of their superpowers, Ji Xing and Ji Wanwan’s physical conditions were much stronger than that of ordinary people, but Zhou Kai was not so fortunate.

He vomited a large mouthful of blood, visibly pale.

Before the trio could steady themselves, Corpse Mountain lifted its foot and took a big step towards them.

“Boom boom boom!!!”

The speed of Corpse Mountain was fast, and its stomp caused everything to tremble.

In the moment before its foot landed, an Ice Wall appeared beneath it.

The appearance of the Ice Wall gave Ji Wanwan and her team a moment to catch their breath.

“Swoosh——”

Ji Wanwan once again grabbed her brother and Zhou Kai and teleported.

At the same time, sensing the obstacle, Corpse Mountain lifted its foot and stomped down vigorously again.
