Apocalypse: Launching a Counterattack Against the Villainess

But they can't care about that now.

Having some experience fighting zombies, they immediately realized what was happening.

This clothing store is no longer safe.

The explosion just now made quite a noise, and the zombies in the vicinity will definitely all rush over one after another.

If we don't leave here quickly, we'll only face certain death if we get trapped in this narrow space.

"cheer!"

"Get moving! Get out of here!"

Shi Chuanyu scooped up a companion from the ground and then growled at the others.

Although the people behind them had just been hit, they had not suffered any real harm.

Upon hearing Shikawa Yu's order, everyone immediately perked up and entered battle mode.

This is something that ordinary people cannot do.

Only by adapting to the environment as quickly as possible can one live longer.

Whether it was their own will or not, they now had to catch up with Nie Qingyun as soon as possible.

After all, based on their previous interactions, Nie Qingyun did not seem like a reckless person in their impression.

Since he chose to do this, he must have had some plan in mind.

Soon, a group of people rushed outside, each carrying various weapons, their expressions wary as they kept a close watch on every corner where zombies might emerge.

However, soon, something unexpected happened again for Shikawa Yu and the others.

Nie Qingyun, who was standing not far away, raised his hand again, his palm glowing with a faint blue light.

Everyone held their breath.

However, having learned from their previous experience, they reacted much faster this time, immediately dropping to the ground.

But no explosion occurred this time.

As the light in Nie Qingyun's hand dissipated, the zombies standing directly opposite him suddenly froze in place.

Immediately afterwards, a translucent substance appeared on the soles of my feet, and in an instant it spread throughout my entire body.

In just one second, the five zombies were frozen in place like ice sculptures.

"C+ level magic is indeed extraordinary..."

Nie Qingyun withdrew her gaze from the zombie, feeling happy but also a little heartbroken.

Especially after confirming how powerful this magic was.

Because spell scrolls have a limited number of uses.

He wouldn't have been willing to use such a precious item in this place if it weren't for the need to confirm its usage and effects in advance so as not to make mistakes when dealing with Liu Chengyuan later.

Fortunately, after using those two spells, he received the good news he expected.

There is no cooldown (CD) for using magic scrolls.

And it does not require any additional mental energy.

In other words, if he needs to, he can unleash all the spells he possesses at once, like a magic machine gun.

This has a huge advantage compared to traditional mage-type professions.

The most important point is that the "loading" time has been omitted.

According to the "Apocalypse Survival Guide," magic skills can be roughly divided into three categories.

That is: short text singing, long text singing, and extra-long text singing.

The number of incantations required varies depending on the level and power of the magic.

Furthermore, these incantations have strict requirements for recitation; it's not simply a matter of memorizing them, being familiar with them, or reciting them quickly enough to release them faster.

Of course, there are also items and skills that can shorten casting time.

For example, some magic professions have unique passive skills, or mages who specialize in certain areas can awaken specific skills through accumulated combat experience, allowing them to omit some bytes when casting spells in a certain area.

Having confirmed the effects of the spell scroll, Nie Qingyun saw no reason to waste it any longer and summoned a melee weapon directly from the [Data Space].

Although the baseball bat that I picked up casually was not very powerful, its weight was just right, making it much more effective against zombies that had no sense of pain compared to those short-handled knives.

Thanks to his previous experience of "honey trap" with his senior, Nie Qingyun is now quite adept at dealing with ordinary zombies.

Almost every strike is a fatal blow. There are no exaggerated movements, and no unnecessary stamina is consumed, but the efficiency is astonishing.

Standing at a distance, Shi Chuanyu and the others, back to back in a circle, looked at Nie Qingyun, who seemed to have unlocked a cheat code, and were at a loss for what to do.

They said they would break through together... but now they can only stand back and watch.

Nie Qingyun had already killed many of the zombies in this area before, and after another round of clearing, they no longer pose any threat.

Seeing that the time was right, he suddenly stopped what he was doing and waved his hand behind him.

It's time to let the young lady participate in the battle, after all, only by personally killing monsters can she awaken the [Data System].

With me watching over them, there shouldn't be any danger.

Moreover, he had been injected with an immune agent before, so even if he is captured, he will not turn into a zombie.

However, just as Nie Qingyun was thinking this, he suddenly saw the young lady throw away the weapon in her hand.

She skillfully took out water and a towel from her small bag.

The girl ran up to Nie Qingyun, handed him the water bottle, and then stood on tiptoe to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Finally, she took out the [Primal Crystal] she had just collected from her small shoulder bag, truly embodying the role of a "picker baby".

As the two drew closer, Nie Qingyun smelled the fragrance lingering in the girl's hair again.

Her chestnut-brown eyes, a blend of light and shadow, paired with her flawless, pretty face, appeared even more beautiful in the sunlight.

She's just too cute...

Nie Qingyun couldn't help but sigh. It was probably really inappropriate to let such a young girl poke zombies with a wooden stick.

However, this is the apocalypse, and what we will experience in the future will definitely be much more dangerous than what we are experiencing now.

The young lady should learn how to fight.

But the most important goal right now is to get Cheng Yuqiu to activate the [Data System], not the battle itself.

Thinking of this, Nie Qingyun suddenly had an idea.

Chapter 79: Wait, I also happen to have a beautiful little sister!

After placing the [Primal Crystal] handed to him by the girl into the [Data Space], Nie Qingyun waved to Shi Chuanyu and the others who were standing in the distance:

"Hey, you guys, stop standing around and get to work."

These people seemed to still be immersed in the scene of Nie Qingyun unilaterally slaughtering zombies, and only suddenly came back to their senses when they heard the call.

They rushed over immediately and did not object to the commanding tone; on the contrary, they were delighted to hear it.

Because it means that you are needed.

As long as you are needed, you can generate value for the team.

Valuable people have more initiative regardless of the environment.

Currently, Nie Qingyun's combat prowess has far exceeded their expectations.

This made Han Zheng and others unanimously want to curry favor with a powerful figure.

Putting aside the matter of rescuing Ms. Fukada, if they could stay by Nie Qingyun's side in the future, even if they didn't get any particular benefits, it would at least be much safer than if they acted alone.

"Um, is there anything we can do for you...?"

The first to speak was Shi Chuanyu. His voice was deep and resonant, perfectly matching his appearance, and he had a somewhat simple and honest quality. However, because of his previous conflict with Nie Qingyun, he was now acting a little awkward.

Nie Qingyun no longer cared about this. He looked at Shi Chuanyu and Han Zheng, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"How many zombies have you killed in total these past few days?"

"Zombies..." Shi Chuanyu hesitated for a moment before speaking with some difficulty:

"Most of them were skirmishes, and the situations were quite urgent, so I don't really remember exactly how many zombies I killed..."

"But if we add all of us together, there should be two or three hundred..."

For them, this was already a remarkable achievement, and Nie Qingyun couldn't help but ask with some curiosity:

"You killed them all together?"

"Not exactly..." Han Zheng added solemnly.

"At first, we were trying to avoid zombies as much as possible."

"Later, Shi Chuanyu and I were the first to obtain the [Data System], and we also obtained the [Essence of Chaos] from Liu Chengyuan."

"With the improved attributes, as long as we don't attract hordes of zombies, Shi Chuanyu and I can handle it, so we'll be in charge of the main combat."

"The others were mainly responsible for protecting survivors and moving supplies."

"I see..." Nie Qingyun nodded noncommittally.

No wonder that after so long, only two out of a dozen people have become transcendent.

To awaken the [Data System] by killing monsters, you must directly participate in combat; this cannot be bypassed.

If we want Cheng Yuqiu to awaken, we have to make her do it herself.

Thinking of this, Nie Qingyun glanced at the remaining scattered zombies in the distance, pointed, and said:

"You two, as long as you can keep yourselves safe, you should be able to lure the zombies over, right?"

"Attract zombies?" Shikawa Yu was taken aback.

In the past, they would avoid zombies and only take action when they encountered a path they couldn't avoid.

Even if they were to actively kill zombies, they would choose a closed indoor space.

The thought of deliberately luring zombies outside is terrifying; after all, they are man-eating creatures, and one wrong move could lead to being surrounded by hordes of them.

However, considering the strength Nie Qingyun had just displayed, he felt more confident, so Shi Chuanyu gritted his teeth and said:

"I'll give it a try..."

"Don't be so nervous," Nie Qingyun said slowly, looking around.

"I've already cleared out several rounds of zombies nearby. As long as you don't attract the zombies on the main road, you and Han Zheng won't be in any danger, given your attributes."

"You two split into two groups and take turns. Just lure the zombies to my vicinity, and leave the fighting to me."

At this point, Nie Qingyun paused and looked at the ordinary people behind him who hadn't fought much:

"And you're in charge of moving it."

"Moving?"

Everyone was stunned, clearly not understanding what it meant.

Nie Qingyun didn't elaborate further, as the specific details would be easier to explain during the operation. So he directly said to Shi Chuanyu:

"Let's try luring the zombies over first."

The two exchanged a doubtful glance, and then set off in different directions.

Just as Nie Qingyun said, there were not many zombies left nearby, so such an action did not pose any danger to them, who were already transcendent beings, which is why they did not raise many questions.

Not long after, Shikawa Yu attracted five or six zombies in an open shop and jogged back to the area where the main force was.

Because he set off after Han Zheng, he returned a little later. However, when he returned and saw the scene before him, his expression froze, and he was completely dumbfounded...

What's going on...

From his perspective, Shi Chuanyu had no idea what Nie Qingyun's plan was, let alone that he intended to manually activate the [Data System] for Cheng Yuqiu.

But seeing what was happening before him, he finally understood.

Nie Qingyun knocked down all the zombies that Han Zheng had attracted with a single blow.

He used a lot of force, but he wasn't aiming for the head; he was aiming for the legs.

The zombies' fragile bodies couldn't withstand such an attack and instantly lost most of their mobility.
