“The weak point of The Glutton is the lower abdomen, and The Greedy One's weak point is the eye.”
Ning Yu stood behind Ning Xuan and gently reminded her. Of course, she had no intention of intervening, but she informed Ning Xuan of the weaknesses of the two mutated zombies.
Ning Xuan didn't turn around; she simply raised her left hand and gestured "OK" to Ning Yu.
Ning Yu noticed that prosthetic devices were beginning to cover her ankles and wrists, resembling protective gear like ankle and wrist guards. There were even jet nozzles on the devices. As Ning Xuan moved, Ning Yu saw bright flames shooting out from them, apparently some kind of propulsion system to enhance her speed.
All the zombies, including the two The Gluttons and the single The Greedy One, surged towards Ning Xuan's position.
Ning Yu stood behind her, watching as she exuded an aura of invincibility, like a single warrior holding off an army.
【You killed a regular zombie, earning 10 points】
【You killed a regular zombie, earning 11 points】
...
A series of point notifications began to ring out. The first wave of regular zombies that charged forward were cut down like overripe bean sprouts, their heads severed by Ning Xuan's blade.
Her mechanical devices continuously and rapidly eject flames of varying sizes, adjusting her posture and accelerating her movements.
This rapid movement was as natural as controlling her own limbs, incredibly agile.
Ning Yu marveled at the ingenious design. Even an ordinary person, if they could be modified to this extent, would likely possess formidable combat power.
Unfortunately, ordinary people couldn't be modified to such a degree.
Come to think of it, Ning Yu had almost forgotten to ask earlier: Why did Ning Xuan need to undergo prosthetic modifications, while she, the elder sister, did not?
Ning Xuan weaved through the zombie horde, her swift movements leaving a trail of corpses in her wake. Soon, she encountered the three mutated zombies.
Ning Yu noticed that Ning Xuan didn't dodge the attacks from The Glutton's claws or bites, nor The Greedy One's sharp scythe-like strikes.
Any attacks that landed were blocked by a curved barrier, rippling like water.
Therefore, Ning Xuan's attacks were direct. With the enhancement of her prosthetic devices, her speed was unmatched, and the battle with the mutated zombies didn't last long.
【Ding! You killed a low-level mutated zombie, The Glutton, earning 500 points】
【Ding! You killed a low-level mutated zombie, The Glutton, earning 500 points】
【Ding! You killed a low-level mutated zombie, The Greedy One, earning 500 points】
With the final notification, Ning Xuan's alloy blade pierced through The Greedy One's tiny eye, killing it instantly.
Ning Yu also collected the points from all the zombies.
She released Blood Kite, which absorbed the zombies' blood to gain weapon experience.
“How was it, sister?”
Ning Xuan, who didn't need to walk during combat, floated back to Ning Yu.
“You're very strong.”
Ning Yu nodded lightly in acknowledgment. Suddenly, she noticed a few streaks of zombie blood on Ning Xuan's pristine silver hair.
She stepped forward, took out a handkerchief from her space, and gently wiped away the bloodstains.
Such a simple action seemed to freeze Ning Xuan, who spoke slowly:
“Sis... sister...”
Both sisters were momentarily stunned.
Ning Yu was startled because the action had become second nature to her. Every time she fought alongside Shen Yiyue, she would help her wipe away the blood.
In that instant, she had subconsciously overlapped Shen Yiyue's image with Ning Xuan's, performing the intimate gesture without hesitation.
Ning Xuan was stunned because she seemed to see a glimpse of her childhood, recalling many past memories.
Unfortunately, she didn't realize Ning Yu's true thoughts.
Ning Yu, realizing her mistake, acted as if nothing had happened, folding her handkerchief and returning it to her space.
She reached out and caught Blood Kite as it flew back, her eyes turning crimson once more.
She nonchalantly stored Blood Kite and walked toward a building that resembled an inn, taking a few steps before saying:
“Let's go, we need to interrogate this guy. Bring him along.”
The man on the ground, still unconscious, was dragged over by Ning Yu.
Ning Xuan was still immersed in the previous action, finally snapped back to reality, and grabbed the man, following behind Ning Yu.
“Ah!”
The man woke up with a slap, only to find two beautiful silver-haired girls in front of him.
He felt a blur of consciousness and excruciating pain in his chest, though the wound had been crudely treated, leaving it a bloody, charred mess.
The room's temperature began to drop, but after a while, the man suddenly clutched his head and screamed in agony.
Clearly, he had tried to use his awakened ability but seemed to have suffered some kind of backlash.
“What did you do to him?”
Ning Yu looked at Ning Xuan in confusion. She had apparently inserted something into the man's body, likely tampering with his prosthetic modifications.
“I made a small adjustment to his awakening circuit.”
Ning Xuan winked playfully at her, explaining briefly.
After a while, the man stopped his howling, gasping for breath and too afraid to try using his abilities again.
“Ning... Ning Xuan, how could you...”
The man recognized Ning Xuan's lake-blue eyes, which were different from Ning Yu's, but his expression was one of disbelief.
He clearly remembered that Ning Xuan had also been tasked with finding Ning Yu, and had suffered heavy losses, even being stabbed by her beloved sister.
Why was she now standing by Ning Yu's side?
Only then did he finally piece together what had happened.
“As you can see.”
Ning Xuan smiled nonchalantly at him, a cold and ruthless smile unlike the gentle one she had shown Ning Yu.
She pointed her blade at the man's prosthetic modifications, threatening him in a way he could understand:
“Who else is coming after us? Surely it's not just someone like you?”
Ning Yu watched as Ning Xuan took over the interrogation, noting that she seemed quite proficient at it.
The man glanced at the area being threatened, recalling the searing pain that had just shot through his brain, and shivered.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke:
“We... we were just the advance team. There are more coming...”
Before he could continue, his head suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, his eyes glowing with an eerie light.
“What did you do to him?”
Ning Yu asked Ning Xuan in confusion, but Ning Xuan quickly pulled Ning Yu back.
“Boom!”
A massive explosion rocked the small inn, reducing it to rubble.
