Chapter 252: Ability Enhancer

Seeing that the situation was not good for her, the woman took out a small glass bottle from her backpack. Opening the lid, she hesitated for a moment before she drank the red liquid in the small bottle in one breath.

A few seconds after drinking the red liquid, she felt hot as her energy became stronger and it became easier for her to control the zombies. With a satisfied smile on her face, she murmured: "That man really didn’t lie to me. This ability enhancer is very effective. With this medicine, I don’t have to be afraid of anyone anymore. Unfortunately, this medicine only has a temporary effect."

Just when the woman was excited after drinking the mysterious medicine, Zhu Lin discovered that the zombies suddenly became stronger and more agile. As she dodges the zombies’ claws and teeth, she kicks them away and then chops off their heads in one fell swoop.

The moment she chopped off the heads of nearby zombies, another group of zombies rushed towards her with their claws and teeth. Sensing the danger, Zhu Lin raised her sword to block the attacks, but vines suddenly grew out of the ground and bound her limbs.

Xiu Wu, who was trapping the zombie in the black sphere, saw her bound by the vines from a distance and flicked his finger. The next moment, the vines that bound Zhu Lin’s limbs were chopped into pieces by Xiu Wu’s space blades. He noticed the zombie who was summoning the vines and used his ability to distort the space around the zombie’s head, causing the zombie’s head to be crushed like a melon.

Two seconds before the zombies’ claws were about to pierce Zhu Lin’s body, Bing Jian appeared in front of her and blocked the zombie’s claws. Seeing his body pierced by the zombies’ claws, Zhu Lin widened her eyes in shock. As if she had fallen into an illusion, her eyes lost focus and the sword energy in her body surged out violently.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

At the same time, Bing Jian’s eyes turned red as her sword energy mutilated the zombies. A second later, Bing Jian began to kill zombies at fast speed. Seeing Zhu Lin standing calmly in the center of the battlefield while Bing Jian was covered in black blood as he killed the zombies, Tan Wei and the others fell into silence. At this moment, the calm and gentle Zhu Lin they knew seemed more like a devil.

Soon, all the zombies were killed by Bing Jian. Withdrawing his hand from the zombie’s broken head, Bing Jian stood on the spot motionless. After a long silence, Zhu Lin slowly regained consciousness. Standing in the distance, Bing Jian’s eyes also slowly returned to normal.

When he realized what just happened and how dirty he was now, Bing Jian almost fainted from disgust. He turned to look at his master and said with a deep frown: "Master, can you control your emotions next time? Look how dirty I have become. It’s so disgusting!"

Zhu Lin smiled apologetically at him and said, "I’m sorry. I don’t know why, but when I saw your chest being pierced by the zombie’s claws, I lost consciousness. It was like I was in an illusion."

After speaking, she cast a cleansing spell to cleanse the body and soul form of Bing Jian. Seeing that there wasn’t even a speck of dust on his clothes, Bing Jian sniffed his clothes and nodded with satisfaction.

He then looked at Zhu Lin and said, "Master, I’m going back now."

Leaving these words behind, he returned to Zhu Lin’s spiritual palace. Seeing that Bing Jian had returned to her spiritual palace, Zhu Lin put the sword back under the divine spring pool.

Meanwhile, Xiu Wu frowned as he watched all of that. Although Zhu Lin didn’t know why she lost consciousness, Xiu Wu did. He stared at her and thought: ’Lin’er, do you still remember that day? Do you remember who I am?’

While Xiu Wu was thinking about the past, the woman coughed up a mouthful of blood. After losing all the zombies, she suffered severe backlash. Wiping away the blood on her lips, the woman clenched her hands and said with hatred: "I, Duan Xinni, will definitely come back and make you pay the price for destroying my zombie army!"

After saying that, she glared at Zhu Lin and Xiu Wu and then slipped away. Following the traces she had buried before, she successfully walked out of the thick fog without a problem.

Back at the Wu Lin base, Xiu Wu looked at the absent-minded Zhu Lin thoughtfully. He held her hand, looked at Tan Wei, and said, "Xiao Wei, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. I heard you coughed up blood when the zombies attacked us."

Tan Wei looked at the people standing and sitting on the roadside and said, "We still have to arrange accommodation for them today. I will go to the hospital after they settle down."

Xiu Wu followed his gaze and looked at the crowd, and then said, "You don’t have to worry about them. Lao Yang will take care of them. As for you, you’d better go to the hospital as soon as possible to prevent your condition from getting worse."

Tan Wei thought for a while, nodded, and said, "All right. Then help me tell Lao Yang that most of them suffered from frostbite and starvation."

Listening to the concern in his voice, Xiu Wu sighed and thought to himself: ’He is still too nice to strangers.’

Xiu Wu nodded to him and said, "Mhm. I will let him know."

After Tan Wei left with the other injured guards, Xiu Wu asked the staff to tell Ji Yang what had just happened and then returned to the villa with Zhu Lin. When the door opened, Zheng Jinnan saw his Shifu coming back together with Xiu Wu and said, "Shifu, you are back."

Seeing her in a daze, Zheng Jinnan walked up to her and held her other hand. He looked at Xiu Wu and asked, "Elder Brother Xiu Wu, what happened to my Shifu? Why does she look like this?"
