Fortunately, they chose the right escape route, and only a few zombies lunged at them from the front while a girl blocked those behind.
Zombies' heads exploded one after another, falling in piles in the narrow alley. The bodies of the zombies in front blocked the path, slowing the zombies behind.
Along the way, not a single zombie could reach them.
Rushing out of the alley, Su Changxing noticed another undead tide surging from the side, confirming that it was the "Politician" guiding these zombies.
This ability was somewhat similar to the "Lady of the House's" ability, but it was certain that the Lady of the House's ability was more powerful.
Given the current situation, the Lady of the House was likely a Tier Seven Extraordinary. She could directly control the undead tide, a clear difference from merely guiding them.
With undead tides surging from both sides, they ran towards one of them.
Su Changxing looked at the alley entrance ahead, nearly covered by zombies, and said, "We need to get into the alley entrance ahead and deal with the zombies blocking the way."
"Okay."
The girl nodded, running while mimicking holding a rocket launcher. The next moment, a large group of zombies flew from that position, exposing a clear area at the alley entrance.
They both crossed through the open space, successfully entering the alley.
This side of the alley was much more complex, crisscrossing in all directions, much like a pedestrian street. Su Changxing wasn't sure of the road distribution here and could only choose a general direction.
There were many zombies under the influence of the undead tide, charging at them from a distance, forming a pincer attack.
The situation seemed very dangerous.
However, the girl's strength was truly formidable. Despite the undead tide trailing them, they ran for more than ten minutes without much pressure, almost crushing any opposition.
The noise from the undead tide gradually faded, and they should be out of its range.
At this moment, Su Changxing felt somewhat exhausted; the intense running worsened his injuries.
The blue-haired girl looked back and saw no zombies pursuing them. She excitedly said, "How about we go back and do it again?"
So she's playing a battle royale game here.
Su Changxing fell silent and said, "Uh, I can't take it anymore. I advise you not to either."
He surveyed the surroundings and saw a café on the second floor not far ahead, planning to rest there temporarily.
The blue-haired girl looked down, stepped on the grid on the street with each step, and followed behind Su Changxing, saying, "Hey, let me see that thing in your hand."
A handgun?
Su Changxing glanced at the silver-white handgun in his hand, surprised that she was interested in it. Was she attracted by the sound of gunfire?
He handed the handgun to her, saying, "Catch."
If it were someone else, he definitely wouldn't give it, as human nature is unpredictable, and one might develop thoughts about the handgun.
But this girl's strength alone was formidable, plus she saved him, so letting her see it was no problem.
Su Changxing looked at the girl fiddling with the handgun, her eager expression resembling someone playing with some novel toy, and reminded her, "You'd better not pull the trigger, the noise is too loud and will attract zombies..."
"Bang~"
Before he finished speaking, a loud gunshot echoed through the street.
"Bang~"
Right after, another shot followed, leaving a small bullet hole in a zombie rushing towards them.
The girl looked at the smoking gun barrel, revealing a thoughtful expression, but couldn't hide her excitement.
Su Changxing raised an eyebrow, seeing zombies gathering and surging around again, feeling a bit weary, but luckily, he didn't have to do anything.
The girl extended her hands to "fire," the surrounding space writhing as a large number of zombies surged, falling like cut wheat, leaving the street littered with zombie corpses, and a somewhat open view.
Su Changxing stepped over the bodies, headed to the café, and glanced back at the girl engrossed in the handgun, asking, "What's your name?"
This girl seemed nothing like someone from their world with blue hair and eyes, but she did have a cell phone in her pocket.
Was she this way because of her superpower?
Or was her power so strong that it even altered her appearance and mind, making her appear erratic?
The blue-haired girl tilted her head, looking contemplative.
Su Changxing paused, feeling she was coming up with a name on the spot, teasing, "Don't tell me you've already forgotten your own name."
The girl thought for a moment and said, "No, do you think I'm as silly as you?"
Silly?
Su Changxing gritted his teeth, feeling aggrieved, being called silly by a madwoman was like being insulted by a fool.
"My name is... Jin."
The girl finally said, frowning on one side.
Jin?
Su Changxing was quite sure the name was made up on the spot, but he didn't reveal it. After all, names are just labels, it doesn't matter what they're called, he seriously said,
"Jin, nice to meet you. I'm Su Changxing, and I really appreciate you saving me."
"Hmm, you're welcome."
Jin glanced at Su Changxing and mumbled to herself, "Actually, I didn't intend to save you..."
Su Changxing finally couldn't help but retort, "Actually, you don't have to be so blunt about it."
Jin absentmindedly replied, "Oh~"
They arrived at the café; due to the earlier gunfire, there were no zombies inside, the windows were open, and there was no strong odor, just a thick layer of dust.
"Click~"
"Click~"
Jin pulled the trigger, but no bullets came out. Those were the last two bullets, she said, "Out of bullets."
Her meaning was clear, she was asking Su Changxing if he had more bullets.
Su Changxing plopped down on a decayed wooden chair, the fragile structure creaking as if it might collapse at any moment, and said,
"No, those were the last two, and bullets shouldn't be wasted like that."
Jin tilted her head, closed one eye, aimed at the wooden table beside her, and pulled the trigger again.
"Bang~"
A loud bang, the side of the table shattered into several uneven wooden chunks, scattered, followed by the distant sound of zombie clamor.
But fortunately, the nearby zombies had been dealt with, so it didn't cause much commotion.
Su Changxing looked at the wood shavings on the ground, feeling a bit of a headache. She was undoubtedly a destroyer, but he sensed that Jin's aura seemed to have shifted from the initial wildness to a calmer state.
But he didn't pay much attention, as unpredictability is typical for the insane.
A head beside him murmured, "Kid, I advise you to stay away from her. She's dangerous, a massive aggregation of Extraordinary Power, very twisted and unstable."
Su Changxing asked, "What's her specific situation now?"
The head paused and said, "I don't know, I've never seen such a case."
Su Changxing wiped the dust off the table with a rag, took two bottles of water from his backpack, and redeemed two palm-sized chocolate cakes from the discount shop.
[Round Chocolate Cake (Quantity Ten): 50% Off, 100 Points]
[Round Chocolate Cake: Exquisite taste, a creation of a master pastry chef, retains a bit of warmth.]
This was the second type of food besides self-heating rice from the Mysterious Shop, more expensive yet less in quantity.
"Take a break, have a bite to eat."
Su Changxing handed her a bottle of water and a piece of cake, trying to calm her down this way. Too much noise always makes people uneasy, and he's used to staying somewhat stealthy at night.
"Cake? Why do you have something like this."
Jin stared at the chocolate cake before her, tossed the silver handgun back to Su Changxing, sniffed it, and was hit by a rich aroma.
"From the shop,"
Su Changxing took out ointment from his backpack, planning to try the effect of this healing ointment since he just couldn't fall asleep immediately after waking up.
[Somewhat Magical Healing Ointment (Rare, Quantity 5): 40% Off, 600 Points]
[Somewhat Magical Healing Ointment: An item from the Magic World, possesses powerful healing effects at the cost of consuming a little bit of lifespan.]
Magic World?
So are Mages considered Extraordinary?
Su Changxing applied the ointment to his wounds, a cool sensation spreading from them, significantly reducing the pain.
"This might count as a Mysterious Item too."
Su Changxing mumbled, mainly applying the ointment to the worst wounds.
