Chapter 17: Eliminating Vulnerabilities

lightly, finally letting her wait for it. It wasn't in vain that she and Wen Xun, that despicable scoundrel in fine clothes, had been playing cat-and-mouse.Feeling the soft sedan's bumps, Lian Yi slow...The moment Wu Lianyi appeared, the eyeless zombie in a ragged skirt twitched its nose and lifted its head, turning towards the two of them.

Immediately, the other side let out a howl, and under the throng of hundreds of zombies around it, it began to move toward the only seven-story building on the roadside. The people hiding inside were terrified, their faces instantly paling as they pulled the curtains shut and gripped the weapons in their hands.

Wu Lianyi looked at the shambling zombie in a tattered skirt, surrounded by others, and felt really annoyed.

This thing is just like a zombie from the Xianxia world, and it's the lowest level. Now it even dares to threaten her How could she, the dignified ancestor of Lianri, swallow this breath!

"Sun Wang, bring a water-type ability user here!"

Wu Lianyi spoke directly.

"Good!"

In Sun Wang's eyes, Wu Lianyi could do anything.

In the next instant, Sun Wang was back in the command vehicle. In less than two minutes, he led his people to the rooftop.

Wu Lianyi glanced over and it was actually Ying Yi Captain. She didn't expect the other party to be a water-based esper.

"Sister Lianyi, person arrived!"

Sun Wang retreated to the side after completing his task.

"Eagle Wing Captain, how wide is your water-based ability's coverage range Can it cover that moving formation below"

Wu Lianyi's question was very direct.

"That'll do!"

With a sweep of his gaze, the hawk spoke directly.

"Go ahead and make your move!"

Ying Yi clearly recognized Wu Lianyi's strength and immediately crossed his arms, condensing a small water sphere. As he infused it with his abilities, the sphere grew larger and larger, eventually reaching the size of two washbasins. His face paled as he pushed it to its limit before finally smashing the water sphere down.

The water balloon smashed directly into the horde of zombies climbing up the human wall, instantly turning them into soggy messes. Water still spread outward around them.

Wu Lianyi, with quick eyes and hands, pulled back the slightly swaying Eagle Wing. She passed the overperforming captain to Sun Wang, then forcefully smashed the lightning ball she had been nurturing in her hand into the pile of zombies.

In an instant, the purple lightning force flowed through the water everywhere, instantly electrocuting the zombies into charcoal. Zombies forming a wall collapsed like dominoes, and Wu Lianyi's eyes were still fixed on that skirt-wearing zombie. Although she dodged in time, one of her arms had already turned into charcoal.

"Sun Wang, you bring the captain back. I don't need to be picked up. After I take care of that commanding zombie, I'll meet up with you."

Having said that, she immediately drew her Lei Yao and leaped forward. Using the momentum of her downward dive, she charged directly towards her target. This time, if she didn't kill him, her title as the Ripple Ancestor would be for nothing.

Eagle's eyes twitched, and Sun Wang beside him was full of admiration, his eyes blazing with fervor.

"Don't worry, Captain. Ripple wouldn't go into a battle unprepared. When we were taking out those zombies that came pouring out of that alleyway just now, we noticed something unusual about one of them."

Without waiting for Eagle Wing's reply, he seized the opportunity and pulled the other person away from the building, returning to the command vehicle.

The deputy kept an eye on this place, and when they saw their captain return safely, they finally let go of the worry they had been carrying. That kid named Sun Wang came back and immediately asked who could control water. As soon as Hawkwing said "I," he was dragged away.

But that strong woman, Wu Lianyi, is really badass. She actually awakened a lightning-based superpower and coordinated seamlessly with the team captain, taking out at least five hundred zombies. Right now, she's still wielding her sword, cutting through everything in her path.

Wu Lianyi relentlessly pursued the female zombie in the leather skirt, despite her constant screaming and the low-level zombies trying to shield her with their bodies. However, she was undeterred, swiftly and mercilessly eliminating them one by one. In a blink, the zombie's arm, charred from being electrocuted, was severed.

"Roar!" A scream pierced the air, followed immediately by a chunk of flesh being ripped from his exposed thigh. The opponent felt the threat and, unwilling to fight on, turned tail and fled, using the low-level zombie as a shield.

"IQ improved quickly!"

Wu Lianyi rested after unleashing her ultimate move. Now, she had another thunderball brewing in her hand. She swung her sword, severing the head of a zombie and then with a powerful kick from her right foot, sent the falling head flying towards the female zombie wearing a leather skirt, hitting her on the knee joint.

She then leapt forward, whipping out her Lei Yao Sword and thrusting it into his chest, pinning him to the ground.

The zombie girl in the leather skirt screamed, summoning level 0 zombies around her to form a wall of corpses. She grabbed the sword blade with her remaining hand, trying to pull it out of her chest. As soon as she grasped it, a purple spark seared her hand.

A cry of pain echoed far away. In the next instant, Wu Lianyi smashed the thunderball in her hand down, detonating it beside the female zombie. A blank space with a radius of one and a half meters instantly formed, providing her with a safe landing spot.

As she fell, she stepped on the ankle of the zombie in the skirt with one foot. The zombie nailed to the ground and facing away from her couldn't retaliate immediately and could only continue summoning level 0 zombies.

Wu Lianyi grasped the trembling sword hilt and with a gentle tug, drew it free. The newly freed zombie only wanted to run, but in the next instant, its head was split clean in two by Lei Yao's powerful strike. Its body twitched a few times before completely losing its vitality. From the gaping wound in its skull, a white crystal, about the size of a jujube, fell out.

The moment the crystal appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of level-zero zombies. Unfortunately, Wu Lianyi had already claimed the nucleus as her spoils. She wouldn't let these walking corpses have it so easily. With a flick of her sword tip, she stored it in her spatial storage, and then she began to slaughter the zombies with her sword.

"Mission objectives are completely defunct, the apocalypse bug has disappeared, mission progress is at one-fifth, please continue to work hard, Tasker!"

A male voice echoed in Wu Lianyi's ear.

"How is it only one-fifth complete!"

Wu Lianyi thought to herself, but at least she had eliminated the danger of leading the small world to ruin. The rest could wait, there was no need to rush.

She chopped vegetables and sliced melons here, relying solely on the sharpness of her sword in her hand, her divine power, and her vigilance that allowed her to see six directions and hear eight. Therefore, for a while, those zombies were unable to get close to her.

On the other hand, Eagle Wing was afraid that Wu Lianyi would be surrounded by zombies and said to Sun Wang, who had recovered his abilities beside him:

Go and meet Wu Lianyi!

"Received!"

Sun Wang immediately looked towards the highest point of the pile of zombies, then jumped out of the command vehicle. The next second, he arrived beside Wu Lianyi, and the tip of her sword was just at his throat.

"Ripples Sister! Ripples Sister! It's me! Your little brother Sun Wang!"

He immediately spoke up.

The next second, the sword brushed past his neck and struck out, dealing with a zombie that had pounced on Sun Wang from behind.

"Let's go!"

Wu Lianyi calmly grabbed Sun Wang's wrist.

Sun Wang immediately activated his ability, and the two of them disappeared from the circle of zombies.

"Back safe and sound. Wu Lianyi looked at herself with some disgust, her clothes reeking of the stench of death from slaying zombies. She took off her mask directly and tossed it aside before speaking."

"Hawkwing Captain, I took out that evolved zombie!"n bothered ever since the car's destination was tampered with, nearly causing Ripples to fall into the hands of the anti-alliance organization."Alright, since you're so confident, I won't stop you. Bu...
