Chapter 87 Rune Array
Inside a bus in an open-air parking lot.
Luo Pingjing made Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork) and Di San Xian (three delicacies from the earth), which Yu Yao loves.
Yu Yao got into the car because of the fragrance.
Luo Mei also came over, drawn by the smell.
"It smells so good! My brother, you're amazing!"
As he spoke, he reached out to grab the sweet and sour pork.
Luo Pingjing stared at her dangerously, his tone icy.
"You try moving! Go wash your hands!"
Luo Mei paused, then reluctantly went to the restroom with a pout.
During the meal, Yu Yao mentioned to her teammates what Lin Fengmu had just said.
Dongfang Jin instantly grasped the key point.
"I must say, the country is really powerful; it actually discovered something abnormal about He'an."
Qi Xian shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity we discovered it too late."
Dongfang Jin said, "It's not too late. With the intervention of the government and the military, and Anna's so-called desire to rule China, it's going to be difficult."
Jiang Yi gave a soft snort.
"As for Chen Wanjun, apart from that one crazy outburst the day we got back, she's been acting all gentle and mild-mannered ever since. I thought she'd figured things out, but it turns out she's still up to no good!"
Qi Xian chuckled and clicked his tongue twice, "Young people...so easy to fool!"
Jiang Yi: "......"
......
After dinner, Yu Yao, who had slept all day, volunteered to keep watch that night.
Luo Mei wasn't sleepy either, so she decided to stay up with her until the middle of the night.
However, the men did not intend to occupy their second bedroom.
Instead, they chose to rest separately on the sofas in the master bedroom, the partitioned room, and the living room.
So as not to disturb Chi Heng, who was sleeping on the sofa, Yu Yao and Luo Mei simply went to the roof of the car.
I sat quietly on the roof of the car and kept watch for the first half of the night.
In the middle of the night, Chi Heng came out to replace Luo Mei and sat side by side with Yu Yao on the roof of the car, chatting quietly while looking at the dark sky.
Because she didn't want to be discovered by the other team, Yu Yao was unwilling to rely too much on the Heaven-Covering Stone when it was unnecessary.
Therefore, there were indeed several small-scale gatherings of zombies during this period.
They were all easily dealt with by the energetic Yu Yao, as well as Lin Fengmu and Chu Chenzhou who were on night watch.
However, Yu Yao repeatedly fell into deep thought.
Her attack power is not weak now; in fact, it could be said to be very strong.
However, it has never had a strong area-of-effect attack capability.
With just a pair of swords, it's perfectly adequate for single-target attacks.
However, it is still not enough when there are too many zombies.
The talismans that I've always relied on are too limited and not flexible enough when encountering high-level zombies.
She's just missing two more rare materials to create the magical artifact that suits her.
This kind of thing is rare and hard to come by; you can't put all your hopes on it.
So she had to think of other ways.
Ensure that you can handle any situation even without teammates.
......
The next morning, the group set off again, continuing their journey north.
Yu Yao said she was going back to her room to catch up on sleep, but in reality she was considering how to use existing methods to improve her attack capabilities.
Sky-splitting, talismans, spirit patterns.
While the Rift is useful, its destructive power is limited.
The talismans are powerful enough, but too easy to dodge.
Spirit runes...
Spirit runes cannot be used in combat.
No, not necessarily!
Yu Yaoteng sat up abruptly from the bed.
What if we combine spirit patterns and talismans to create a talisman array?
Talismans possess overflowing spiritual power, which can serve as an energy source for some simple spiritual runes.
Yu Yao then used that energy to conjure spiritual patterns out of thin air, adding additional abilities to the rune array.
For example, gravity, speed, stealth, and doubling attack power.
Just do it!
After Yu Yao made up her mind, she immediately told Chi Heng, who was driving, to stop the car and told them not to chase after them.
He went alone to a small hill not far away.
She used the Rift to stand in mid-air, with seven explosive talismans hovering in front of her.
Then it suddenly shot down at a group of late-stage level 2 mutated wolves below.
The mutated wolf reacts extremely quickly.
With a push of its hind legs, it immediately scattered and dodged the talismans that it did not recognize but inexplicably felt were dangerous.
Yu Yao remained calm, her hands quickly forming hand seals to control several talismans, blocking the mutated wolf from escaping from different directions.
The complex and mysterious spiritual runes link the seven talismans together, making them complement each other.
Under the influence of the gravity spirit array, the mutated wolves' movements became increasingly sluggish and slow.
It's now.
Yu Yao clenched her fist, and all seven explosive talismans exploded simultaneously.
After a loud bang, Yu Yao received a notification that the mutated wolves had killed her.
Even the mutated rats that were hiding at the entrance of the cave watching the commotion nearby were killed.
Aside from the cost of talismans.
It's just a little bit more complex than ordinary superpowers.
The effect is really good! And the power is definitely sufficient.
I'll study it further later, improve my hand speed, and develop even more flexible uses!
This is just great!
Even if she leaves alone one day, she won't need to worry about killing zombies too slowly and affecting her leveling up!
Yu Yao stood in mid-air, gazing at the sea of fire below, her red lips slightly upturned.
No one is born with the ability to trample the whole world under their feet.
But given enough luck and enough hard work...
Then at least she won't be trampled underfoot by anyone.
......
After Yu Yao got back into the car.
Amidst the curious and concerned gazes of the group, he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I just went to research some new attack methods. I'll let you see them when I have the chance."
She didn't elaborate.
The others didn't press her for details, but instead told her to go back to her room and get some rest and sleep.
Half a day later, after she had slept enough, she came out of her room and watched a movie with Qi Xian and the others on the sofa.
Before catching up on sleep, Yu Yao absorbed the meteorite that Chi Heng had given her.
Because the more advanced the level, the more experience is required to upgrade.
So even though this meteorite was much larger, it was only enough for her to level up to level 23.
But it's not bad either!
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only level three. If you rely solely on killing zombies to advance, who knows how long it will take!
......
The group was watching a police action movie.
The plot and action/chase scenes were both good, and everyone watched with great interest.
Yu Yao noticed that Qi Xian and the others rarely commented on the fight scenes, gunfights, or chase scenes in the movies.
In Jiang Yi's words, everyone has their own difficulties, and it's not really true, so there's no need to take it so seriously.
But before the movie even ended, new problems arose along the way.
Upon hearing Luo Mei say that there were traps set up ahead by earth-type ability users, they realized that...
There are also ground spikes and mechanisms in the trap.
Everyone's gaze turned cold.
Yu Yao also came to the front of the car and said to Chi Heng, "There is a prison ahead. There are quite a few people in the prison, which has reached the size of a small safe zone."
Luo Pingjing, who was driving, asked, "Is there a detour?"
"Currently, there isn't one. Taking the detour to the east requires crossing a large river, but the bridge is broken, and there are many dangerous mutated fish in the river."
Chi Heng lowered his eyes, his expression returning to calm.
"Then get off the bus and talk to them."
Yu Yao reminded them, "Most of the people are hiding in small houses by the roadside, where there are heavy firearms. There are also a few earth-type ability users hiding in the soil by the roadside."
"Okay, you stay in the car, we'll go."
"Ah."
Chi Heng led Dongfang Jin and the others out of the car.
Luo Mei and Yu Yao went straight to the driver's area, leisurely munching on snacks and looking out through the glass.
Lin Fengmu and his entourage also got out of the car behind.
A dozen or so superhumans stepped forward, looking quite radiant.
Upon seeing this, the enemy soldiers who were lying in ambush gripped their weapons tightly.
Chi Heng gave Jiang Yi a look, and Jiang Yi immediately understood and activated his supernatural ability.
Those earth-elemental ability users who were hiding in the soil were brought out of the ground by being bound by emerald green thorns.
Like garden eels bursting out of the sand, they stood swaying on the ground.
Seeing this, the person hiding in the shadows quickly opened the window and shouted, "Brother, don't fight! Let's talk this out!"
Dongfang Jin smiled slightly and said gently, "We're just passing through, so let's not bother each other, shall we?"
The man quickly nodded: "Okay, okay, whatever you say, brother. You can go ahead, we definitely won't stop you."
Dongfang Jin nodded in satisfaction.
The group then returned to the car.
Jiang Yi used his supernatural ability to repair the ground and successfully passed through the ambush area.
......
The convoy continued driving for another ten minutes or so when Luo Mei, who had been laughing and joking with Yu Yao, suddenly changed her expression and shouted into the driver's seat, "Turn to the left!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Pingjing, who was driving, jerked the steering wheel, and the entire car suddenly veered to the left.
Yu Yao was almost thrown off, but she managed to grab the back of the sofa in time to avoid disaster.
At the same time, a huge explosion came from the right side of the bus.
Gravel and dirt pelted the car with loud thuds.
The bus also shook a few times from the explosion.
"Right! Right!"
As Luo Mei spoke again, the bus veered sharply to the right.
This time, the explosion came from the left.
If the bus hadn't been modified by Luo Pingjing to be sturdy enough, it would probably have been damaged in the aftershocks of the explosion!
Qi Xian, leaning against the wall, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Damn it! Who's there!"
Luo Mei said with difficulty, swaying, "They are people from the prison. Some of them are still wearing prison uniforms!"
Qi Xian steadied himself and, while trying to open the sunroof, shouted, "Xiao Qi, give me the rocket launcher!"
"Roger that!"
After responding, Yu Yao quickly rummaged through the warehouse and found a rocket launcher, which she handed to Qi Xian, who had already stuck half of his body out of the skylight.
Another stray bullet came flying, and Qi Xian struggled to keep his balance as the car swayed from side to side.
With Jiang Yi's assistance, they quickly set up the rocket launcher.
"There is a semi-underground bunker at your nine o'clock position."
As Yu Yao reported the location, the bunker that Qi Xian had been aiming at was instantly blown to pieces.
There is a trench at your four o'clock position.
Another loud bang, and the people and artillery mounts in the trench were sent flying into the air at the same time.
There were still some hidden, scattered firing points around, but before Yu Yao could report them, they had already been dealt with by Lin Fengmu, Chu Chenzhou, and the others.
The attack has temporarily come to an end.
But everyone was furious.
Chi Heng looked at the prison, which was already a faint black dot in the distance, and his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to kill someone."
