200: Are these ladies crazy?
Da Cheng already had no good feelings for Bai Wanning, and at this moment, a strong sense of disgust and animosity surged in his heart.
The way he looked at her was like staring at a stray dog in the street, so disgusted he almost wanted to turn away and vomit.
He simply couldn't understand how Bai Wanning could have deceived them so badly, yet Lei Qian was still willing to stay and pursue her? And what about him? He had followed the entire team for so long, and no one even gave him a proper look.
He was always treated as an outsider, while Bai Wanning quickly integrated into the team, gaining trust and protection, which made him extremely resentful!
Why could a shameless woman like Bai Wanning be as close as family with all the team members? Yet he could only stand on the sidelines, not even having the right to interject a single word? He was unwilling!
Bai Wanning, however, had no idea that Da Cheng could conjure up an entire palace drama from just a hint of trouble.
Even if she knew, she would only scoff at it; self-righteous men like him were truly foolish.
She was already battling zombies in the corridor; it was still dark, and the density of the zombie horde was extremely high.
Bai Wanning killed zombies while collecting crystal cores.
Because she was pregnant, she did not personally rush into the densest areas, instead leaving the most dangerous parts for her two brothers and Water Snake to clear.
Seeing that she had the situation under control, Lei Qian immediately turned and led his people to chase the zombie horde in the other corridor.
His flaming sword glowed brilliantly, and with the coordinated skills of his teammates, he quickly cleared half of the zombies.
Meng Qibao, Meng Suisui, and others also woke up one after another, not bothering to wash or eat, they put on their blood-stained clothes from yesterday, grabbed some dry rations from their bags, and rushed out.
Da Cheng originally wanted to follow Lei Qian and the others, as those people were the “core combatants” and he wanted to blend in. But as soon as he stepped onto the scorching marble floor, his feet felt as if they were burned by fire, forcing him to retract his steps; he simply couldn't keep up with their pace.
Ultimately, he could only turn back dejectedly and join Meng Suisui's team, who was behind Bai Wanning.
On the other side, Bai Wanning stood steadily at the very front of the team; although pregnant, she still held her back straight, her expression confident.
Her gaze fell on the glass door at the end of the corridor, where more and more zombies were gathering.
They seemed to have smelled living humans, frantically pounding on the glass door, roaring, attempting to break through that thin barrier.
The zombies outside the glass twisted their decaying bodies, violently smashing against the door, emitting deafening sounds. They were agitated and furious by the glass barrier, as if they could pounce and tear them apart the next second.
“What do we do now?” Bai Jixuan looked at the door, which was about to crack, his face full of worry, “If they break in, they'll all rush in at once.”
If they could deal with them one by one, it would be fine, but if a swarm came, they probably wouldn't even have a retreat route.
Bai Wanning pursed her lips and turned to her two brothers, saying, “You two, step back.”
“But—”
“Second Brother, trust me.” She looked at Bai Zhan, her eyes firm, her tone gentle yet resolute, “Since I said I can solve them, then I definitely can.”
Bai Zhan looked at her confident demeanor, gritted his teeth, and finally nodded. He knew she wouldn't speak idly.
Since she said she could, then let her do it. The zombies shouldn't all be left to her alone.
Bai Wanning slowly walked forward, her hands hanging at her sides, calmly waiting for the glass door to be shattered.
She knew clearly that a zombie's attack power was mainly concentrated in its lower jaw, but if enough zombies gathered to attack one point, especially on a fragile material like glass, it would eventually break.
“Crack—”
A crisp sound suddenly rang out; the glass door finally couldn't bear the weight and violently cracked with a sharp shattering noise.
The zombies standing in front of the door surged out like a tide, the broken door panels crashing to the ground along with the bodies.
Innumerable putrid corpses rolled and lunged at Bai Wanning and her companions, a scene so bloody it was nauseating.
They let out hoarse and frenzied roars, seemingly cheering for their “successful breach of the defense line,” and swarmed towards Bai Wanning and the others.
At first, Bai Wanning stood still, motionless, as if she had been scared senseless. Everyone couldn't help but think she was frozen in fear by the zombie tide before her.
However, the next second, she suddenly lifted her left foot, took a slight step back, and then slowly raised both hands, her body lightly spinning once.
A clear stream of water suddenly appeared before her.
Her hand gesture changed, and the stream of water condensed into a vortex, spinning faster and faster, as if a water gate had been pulled open out of thin air.
Finally, the vortex expanded into a giant water sphere, swallowing all the swarming zombies within it!
Boiling hot water currents churned within the water sphere, rapidly corroding the zombies' flesh into a black, viscous granular sludge.
In an instant, crystal cores fell like rain, scattering across the floor.
The more the zombies struggled, the faster they were sucked into the water sphere. They stared fixedly at Bai Wanning, frantically pounding the edges of the water sphere, only causing their hands to dissolve into pus even faster.
“Wow... wow... so cool!” Guoguo exclaimed with an open mouth, his small face flushed, tugging at his mother's sleeve, “Mommy, Auntie is so cool, like a superhero!”
At the very back of the team, Jiang Dai also looked up, gazing at the water sphere that seemed capable of swallowing heaven and earth, her eyes momentarily unfocused.
“You're right... she's like a superwoman.”
Shen Zhen stood behind her, silent for a moment: “...”
She had just told Bai Wanning to “take it easy,” but now it seemed, was this still “easy”? How was this taking it easy? This was fighting with all her might!
A pregnant woman, about to enter her third month, using her ability with such intense output, and launching a giant water sphere right from the start?
Was she crazy!
In front, Meng Suisui and Meng Qibao were also dumbfounded. They watched the zombies being sucked into the trap, their jaws almost dropping.
This… this sister really must be crazy, right?
This hospital building belonged to the inpatient department, and the number of zombies was exceptionally dense, but under Bai Wanning's command and suppression, the zombies were quickly cleared one by one.
Perhaps the zombies also realized that the living people here were too tough to chew, so they simply changed direction and surged towards Lei Qian on the other side.
However, Lei Qian's ruthlessness was no less than Bai Wanning's. He raised his long sword, burning with fierce flames, and mercilessly cleaved the charging monsters into charred remains.
Thus, in the two main corridors of this building, one side was engulfed in raging fire, while the other churned with surging waves.
Water and fire intertwined, blood stained the sky, attracting even more zombies to their deaths.
A few hours later, the zombies on both sides were almost completely cleared.
But, just as Bai Wanning stepped to the end of the corridor, she suddenly stopped, her expression darkening.
It was too quiet.
An abnormal stillness rushed over, like an invisible net, tightly strangling all movement in the air, even breathing sounds became abrupt and harsh at this moment.
