I Pursued My Scummy Ex’s White Moonlight – Chapter 91

The area of the broken ice grew larger and larger, and the team had no choice but to disperse.

Wang Kelin drove the sled, detouring left and right, occasionally distracted and looking up at the sky. Chen Zixuan soared high in the sky alone, the bleak and cold wind and snow almost drowning her.

Although this person was very annoying, in her heart, she was worried. Without hesitation, she threw the sled to the two people behind her, did a roll herself, and stopped after her body rolled up a layer of snow on the ice.

Immediately, she set up the sniper rifle.

Su Wenwen and Luo Xi also arrived beside the Zombie King at this time. The two of them leaped off the sled together, letting the wolfdogs hide to one side.

After getting closer, Su Wenwen discovered that the Zombie King’s body was even larger than she had just seen, like a high wall, about two meters tall. Its body was covered in muscles and looked extremely sturdy.

“Do you still need to kill zombies with your own hands?” Luo Xi asked.

Su Wenwen shook her head. She didn’t know her own strength right now, and after the few meatball bomb attacks just now, the ice probably wouldn’t last much longer. Now was not the time to slowly kill zombies; they had to dispose of the zombies here as quickly as possible.

She took out the iron cone from her spatial backpack and assembled it, then said to Luo Xi, “Let’s each rely on our own abilities!”

The Zombie King split open its mouth, liquid trickling from the corners. It seemed to have been hungry for a long time. With a roar, the guard zombies by its side poured out of the nest.

Su Wenwen brandished the iron cone. Because of its sufficient weight, it produced a dull sound when swung. The moment a zombie approached, she pierced its head.

The benefit of the cone was immediately apparent. Concentrating the attack on one point could break harder things to a great extent. Moreover, the weight of the iron rod would increase the force due to inertia. If an ordinary person were accidentally whipped by it even a little, they would probably suffer a fracture.

Easily dispatching one zombie, Su Wenwen didn’t find it surprising. This was just an ordinary zombie, and moreover, her cold weapon proficiency was already maxed out¹. While holding a weapon, not only could it enhance the weapon’s sharpness, but it could also increase her attack power.

Her line of sight shifted to Luo Xi’s side.

Luo Xi just stood there, her white cold-proof suit almost merging with the snowy day. Her thin face made her look even colder, appearing incomparably delicate and weak, as if a slightly stronger wind and snow would blow her down and freeze her to death.

Those zombies with twisted faces would not pity the fragrant and cherish the jade². They extended their sharp claws and pounced at her in the most brutal and direct way.

Luo Xi raised a lustrous hand. Don’t look down on her slender fingers; with a gentle, folding hand gesture, the zombies approaching her suddenly had their necks twisted and broken in an extremely bizarre posture. Then, crystal cores flew out, landing straight in her palm.

So strong, really so strong.

Luo Xi winked at Su Wenwen and said, “That leading zombie’s body is too strong. My psychic power can only barely restrain him.”

In other words, Luo Xi could only use her psychic power to twist the necks of ordinary zombies, but she could only hold stronger and more powerful zombies in check.

But that was strong enough.

Su Wenwen gripped the iron cone tightly and said, “Okay, then let’s do it the old way. I’ll take the lead³.”

Luo Xi smiled and nodded.

Beside the Zombie King, there were also zombies with many hands and feet. This type of zombie belongs to the variant zombie category, just like the meatball zombies. Their bodily functions have changed into those of other species, and they have specific abilities.

Su Wenwen’s spirit was highly tense. These zombies with many feet and hands were also extremely fast, but when they got close, they were clearly slowed by a beat due to Luo Xi’s psychic power restraint.

At this moment, she exerted force with her legs, leaped high into the air, and gripped the iron cone with both hands, aiming at the zombie’s head in a fish-spearing posture.

The zombie raised its head. Its small mouth suddenly squirmed, and before Su Wenwen could react, fine silver threads shot out from its mouth, appearing extremely inconspicuous under the cover of the fierce wind.

“Be careful.” Luo Xi knitted her brows, her psychic power rolling towards the silver threads.

The silver threads thus deviated slightly, cutting Su Wenwen’s cheek. At the same time, the iron cone in her hand pierced deeply into the zombie’s skull, skewering it through and through like a kebab, and then nailed it to the ice.

Cracks on the ice spread out from the iron cone. Su Wenwen quickly pulled out the weapon, leaped away to retreat, and the dead zombie slowly slid into the ocean after the ice split open.

“Pu!” Another zombie squirmed its mouth. Before it could spray out silver threads, its head was hit by a gunshot. Its head tilted, and the silver threads were spat onto the ground.

Su Wenwen threw the iron cone with a backhand motion. It cut through the wind and snow in mid-air, forming a perfectly straight line, and fiercely struck the zombie. Immediately after, Su Wenwen’s ghostly⁴ figure had already arrived in front of the zombie. She jumped, raised her leg, and stomped on the flat end of the iron cone with the sole of her foot, exerting force once more. The sharp end broke through the hard skull, nailing it to the ice again.

Bang! Another gunshot.

Su Wenwen looked back and saw that Wang Kelin’s shot was actually fired towards the sky. Looking in the direction of the gun, Chen Zixuan, flying in the sky, was actually entangled by silver threads.

Wang Kelin fired another shot, and the bullet snapped the silver threads. But the zombie then spat out even more silver threads towards the sky. The amount it spat was extremely large, but without any direction. It then let the silver threads fall randomly, just like a heavenly maiden scattering blossoms⁵, covering a large patch of snowy ground with densely packed silver threads.

The silver threads merged with the snow, and the trainees couldn’t tell which was which. What’s more, the wolfdogs couldn’t tell either. While pulling the sleds, both people and dogs were entangled into balls by the silver threads on the snow.

They quickly took out daggers to cut them, but the silver threads were extremely tough and couldn’t be cut at all. Nearby trainees who went to help also got entangled and couldn’t move.

The ability users were relatively better off and had ways to avoid them. Veins on Wang Kelin’s forehead throbbed⁶, and she quickly directed the ability users to the rescue.

Su Wenwen and Luo Xi turned back to kill zombies. Just then, the Zombie King became completely enraged. Its heavy body stomped a foot, the force extremely strong, and the ice cracked over a large area.

Like a vase dropped on the ground, the ice broke apart into pieces here and there, shattering into fragments⁷, floating up and down with the ocean waves.

The Zombie King itself fell into the sea first. Then, the trapped trainees also fell into the sea, but they were quickly lifted up by Luo Xi’s psychic power and placed on a large, relatively intact piece of ice.

But the sleds and wolfdogs sank into the deep sea. A few wolfdogs were still “aowu”-ing, using their last bit of strength to paddle their front legs, trying to climb onto the ice.

But the gloomy, cold seawater made the wolfdogs shiver uncontrollably. A moment later, they were tremblingly swallowed by the sea.

Without sleds and wolfdogs, the rest of the journey would have to be on foot. As Su Wenwen was thinking this, something suddenly wrapped around her ankle. She looked down and saw it was a silver thread.

Then she was dragged into the sea.

The bone-piercing cold made her limbs stiff. The heavy cold-proof suit, soaked with seawater, also became incredibly heavy, making it difficult to even move.

The blood on her health bar⁸ was dropping every second. She looked up and saw that the entire seabed was pitch-black because it was covered by a thick layer of ice.

It felt like she had fallen into an abyss, and in the abyss, there was nothing: no light, no sound, no life.

No matter how strong Su Wenwen was, human nature is still to yearn for sunlight. Darkness would breed fear in the bottom of her heart, especially when she was all alone.

The silver thread under her ankle was still dragging Su Wenwen. At this moment, Su Wenwen hoped Luo Xi would not jump into the sea to save her.

After all, the weather now was different from before. Even if Luo Xi could breathe in the sea, she couldn’t withstand the cold. But Su Wenwen was different; as long as she still had health points⁹, she wouldn’t die.

She had to fight a quick battle to force a quick decision¹⁰.

Su Wenwen lifted her foot, grabbed the silver thread with her hand and kept pulling, dragging the zombie at the other end of the thread over.

In the sea, the land zombie’s movements were hindered. Su Wenwen easily clamped its neck and twisted it, then snapped the silver thread and threw the iron cone in her hand towards the sea surface for Luo Xi to see.

The iron cone shot out of the sea at an extremely fast speed, flew high into the air, and descended in a magnificent and graceful posture, happening to nail itself into the ice.

Seeing this, Luo Xi immediately dismissed the thought of leaping into the sea. She then extended her psychic power into the seabed and could see Su Wenwen’s figure, but the distance was a bit too far; her psychic power couldn’t reach her.

The Zombie King flailed its limbs but couldn’t swim up at all, sinking little by little. Then, as if sensing something, it opened its mouth and roared, seemingly warning about something, until its voice was swallowed into the belly of a zombie whale.

The Zombie King probably never would have dreamed that just because of its light stomp, it would die in such an aggrieved¹¹ way.

And the zombie whale that swallowed it was visibly growing something. A slit opened on its back, and the flesh inside writhed and intertwined, giving birth to a face identical¹² to the Zombie King’s.

That face still retained its unwilling look from before death, its mouth open, making “wuwu” sounds.

Logically speaking, sound in the sea is obstructed, and it’s difficult for human ears to hear clearly. But Su Wenwen not only heard it clearly, she even found it abnormally piercing. Even if she covered her ears with both hands, the sound could still drill into her brain.

Conversely, the people on the shore were unaffected. In Luo Xi’s eyes, she just saw Su Wenwen’s pained expression.

She couldn’t bear it anymore. She took two steps and was just about to jump into the sea when she was stopped by Wang Kelin and Chen Zixuan.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, held Luo Xi tightly and persuaded her to be more patient, to trust Su Wenwen more, that she would definitely be fine.

But, but…

That was the person Luo Xi placed on the tip of her heart¹³. Seeing her in such pain, her own heart felt as if it were being pricked by needles, even more painful than Su Wenwen’s.

“Although I’m also anxious, you can’t go down. The seawater is too cold, and Su Wenwen definitely wouldn’t want you to go down either.” Wang Kelin, relying on her extremely sharp eyesight, could barely see Su Wenwen curled up into a ball in the sea.

When it comes to being anxious, everyone in the team was anxious, including Xiao Luo. He also wanted to jump into the sea but was stopped by the trainees.

Xiao Luo didn’t know the situation. He thought Su Wenwen would surely die after falling into the sea. After struggling for a while, he sat stunned on the ice, his face like dead ashes¹⁴.

But Luo Xi, Chen Zixuan, and Wang Kelin knew how formidable Su Wenwen was, so the thing to do now was to have a little more faith in Su Wenwen and wait patiently.
