Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 302 The way home
In the darkest hour before dawn, Cici stood on the ruins in front of the apartment building.

The backpack had already been stored in her spatial storage, and the cold glint of the Tang sword in her hand reflected a new sharpness in her eyes.

She heard a series of slow, drawn-out footsteps coming from a street corner in the distance. She took a deep breath and let her senses spread out like a spider web.

This time, it was no longer a simple matter of storing and retrieving items, but rather a mysterious connection with the entire space.

When the first zombie turned the corner, she had already precisely calculated the escape route.

What's different now is that, with the extension of her perception, she can "see" the degree of decay at the joints of the zombies, and even predict their next movement trajectory.

"It's time to try something new."

She whispered as she gripped the Tang sword. The moment her palm brushed against the hilt, the horde of zombies within her perception range became incredibly clear in the morning light.

This is her new battlefield, and those screams that once terrified her now sound like those who sell their heads for profit.

When she finally faced the zombies head-on, Cici discovered that there were more zombies on the streets than she had imagined.

They seemed to have heard the commotion Cici had made while running, and they all rushed towards her.

Cici gripped her Tang sword tightly, using her newly awakened spatial awareness to search for a suitable route through the horde of zombies.

She moved nimbly among the zombies, wielding her Tang sword with a cold glint in its light, each strike accurately hitting the zombies' vital points.

Just as Cici was fighting to kill zombies and break through the encirclement, she suddenly heard a gunshot from afar.

The gunshots were exceptionally clear on the silent, post-apocalyptic streets, like a ray of dawn in the darkness.

Cici had a sudden thought: the sound of gunfire meant there were humans, and perhaps she could get some useful information from there.

She ran toward the direction from which the gunshots were coming, killing zombies along the way.

Finally, Cici ran to the place where the gunshots came from.

It was an abandoned supermarket, and a group of survivors were gathered at the entrance.

They are armed and fighting fiercely against zombies.

Without the slightest hesitation, Cici brandished her Tang sword and charged into the battle.

Her appearance greatly boosted the morale of the survivors, and together they worked to finally clear out the zombies.

After the battle, the survivors were filled with gratitude and curiosity towards Cici.

They gathered around her, asked about her background, and extended an invitation to her.

Cici briefly introduced herself to them and also learned about the stories of these survivors.

They came from different places, but were brought together by the disaster of the end times to search for hope for survival.

Through conversations with the survivors, Cici learned some information about the apocalypse.

It turns out that after that meteor shower, not only did zombies appear, but some people also awakened various strange abilities.

Some of these superpowered individuals use their abilities to protect others, while others resort to any means for personal gain.

Cici decides to temporarily join the group of survivors to see if she can get more useful information.

In the days that followed, she briefly traveled with one small group of survivors after another, constantly searching for useful information and experiencing battle after battle.

Once, when she was clearing away the zombies at the end of the corridor in the dark, the zombies behind her suddenly accelerated and approached her at an astonishing speed.

In the nick of time, a burst of white light seemed to explode in her mind, and she instinctively tilted to the right.

The next instant, she appeared unharmed at the corner ten meters away.

She tried to concentrate, and a target location came to mind.

The next second, her body instantly appeared in that spot, and with a flash of her blade, the zombie's head fell to the ground.

This sudden ability to teleport made Cici extremely happy. With this ability, she could more easily escape the pursuit of zombies, greatly increasing her safety.

Over time, Cici has assisted many different small survivor groups, helping them find supplies, establish bases, and defend against zombie attacks.

At the same time, they also constantly encounter various new people with superpowers.

On one occasion, while exploring an abandoned factory, they encountered a superhuman with fire abilities.

This superhuman had a violent temper. He not only killed one of the survivors in the group, but also tried to steal Cici and the others' supplies.

The two sides disagreed and a fierce battle ensued.

Cici used her spatial abilities and her Tang sword to fight the fire-elemental user. The fire-elemental user roared ferociously and pushed forward with both hands, sending two fireballs hurtling towards Cici.

The intense heat instantly distorted and deformed the surrounding air, making Cici feel as if she were in a giant furnace.

She dared not slack off in the slightest, concentrating her mind and quickly locating in her mind a deserted house behind her.

The next second, her body vanished instantly and reappeared behind the house.

The two balls of flame struck a car, instantly setting it ablaze. A raging fire shot into the sky, billowing black smoke billowing out.

Cici peeked out from behind the house with her round, adorable little head, a look of determination and composure flashing in her eyes.

We cannot simply avoid the situation; we must take the initiative.

So she gripped the Tang sword tightly and used her spatial perception ability to sense the gaps and directions of the fire-elemental attackers' attacks.

Taking advantage of the moment when the fire-elemental user lost their target and was unleashing a fire attack in a fit of impotent rage, needing time to reassemble the flames.

Cici flashed to the side of the fire-elemental user, her Tang sword blading with fierce momentum as she thrust it straight at his chest.

The fire-elemental user was shocked. He never expected Cici to be so fast and to be able to so accurately seize his weakness.

In the chaos, he could only hastily dodge to the side, Cici's Tang sword grazing his clothes...

During the battle, she discovered that when she combined her spatial abilities with the Taoist techniques her father had taught her, she could unleash even greater power.

After a fierce battle, Cici finally defeated the fire-elemental user.

This battle gave Cici a deeper understanding of her abilities and made her realize that in the apocalypse, only by constantly improving her strength can she survive better.

As time went on, Cici's spatial abilities continued to improve, and she developed more spatial skills, such as spatial teleportation and spatial blades.

At the same time, she is constantly studying the Taoist teachings left by her father, combining them with spatial abilities to create a unique fighting style.

In their search for their way home, Cici and the survivors faced countless hardships and dangers.

They faced attacks from hordes of zombies, battles against an evil organization of superhumans, and shortages of food and water. (PS: The young woman herself had no shortage of supplies, but the temporary team did.)

However, no matter how great the difficulties she encountered, Cici never gave up her belief in returning home.

Finally, by chance, Cici learned once again that there might be an opportunity to travel to China from L City.

Although the journey home was fraught with unknowns and dangers, Cici decided to embark on this journey without hesitation.

She bid farewell to the survivors once again and embarked on a new journey alone.

Next, Cici encountered a variety of new challenges.

As Cici traverses the zombie-infested city, the streets are teeming with zombies, swarming together and emitting chilling howls.

Cici moved forward cautiously, occasionally using her teleportation ability to weave through the gaps in the zombie horde.

However, a strong wind arose, dark clouds filled the sky, and a storm suddenly arrived.

The torrential rain made the ground muddy, greatly hindering Cici's movements.

While she was fighting a group of zombies, a superhuman with the ability to manipulate water appeared.

This superhuman has an eccentric personality. He doesn't want to help Cici; instead, he wants to take advantage of the chaos to steal Cici's Tang sword.

While dodging the zombies' attacks, Cici engaged in a fierce standoff with him. The superhuman who controlled the water swung his hands, whipping water whips at Cici.

Cici skillfully dodged while searching for her opponent's weaknesses.

She discovered that when the superhuman repeatedly manipulated the water flow, there would be a brief pause.

So she kept closing the distance between them, and in a brief gap, she suddenly activated spatial teleportation, instantly appearing behind the superhuman, her Tang sword pressed against his neck...

Having resolved this problem, Cici continued on her way.

Along the way, she overcame countless difficulties with her wisdom and strength.

When Cici finally arrived in L City, her eyes were filled with tears.

She had waited for this moment for far too long.

Although the road home is long and arduous, as long as you have faith in your heart, you will surely reach the destination.

She gripped her Tang sword tightly and walked with firm steps toward the "opportunity to return to her hometown"...
