As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

"Resolved?"

Shen Qing was stunned, somewhat unable to believe it would be so simple.

that's the truth.

There was a rustling sound from the pile of rubble, and the zombie crawled out again with one arm dangling. It seemed that because it was unaware of pain, losing an arm didn't have much of an impact.

With a "whoosh," it rushed forward, and Shen Qing subconsciously raised her hand to block.

The zombie actually used the severed arm as a whip, striking the arm with a "crack," causing a slight fracture.

"It's like a persistent ghost."

Despite the pain, Shen Qing retreated instead of advancing, stomping out with his right foot and unleashing a powerful punch that sent the zombie staggering back several steps.

"grass!"

With a howl and a deafening crash, Xie Chong once again drove his cement mixer truck from the side, smashing the zombie into a pile of rubble.

After who knows how many rounds.

With the two working together and relying on the blood's ability to subdue the monsters, they finally managed to win, albeit by a narrow margin.

Amidst the rubble, a completely disfigured zombie lay on the ground, its limbs twisted and mangled beyond recognition.

[Slay demons and zombies (awaiting metamorphosis), obtain the entry "Shattered Zombie (Green - Strange Tale)".]

[Shajiong: Sha penetrates the fascia, as tough as iron chains. When Yin Sha enters the body, defense increases by 50%. The body is surrounded by Sha Qi, and those who approach will have their minds corrupted by the Sha Qi; the user is not immune.]

A few lines of black text flashed before my eyes.

Once Shen Qing realized that the zombie in front of her was truly dead, she could no longer hold on, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.

It's a pity that after all that effort, it's just another entry with the same kind of side effects.

Karma Severance Value +36.

Xie Chong struggled to climb down from the cement mixer truck, whose cab was completely dented, and staggered to Shen Qing's side. He grabbed Shen Qing and, panting, said:

"You opened it?"

This zombie isn't even afraid of being hit by a car, so it's probably ineffective against conventional firearms. It would likely require a rocket launcher, and even a captain-level figure would probably need to gang up on it to secure a victory.

He himself could hardly believe that they had worn him down to death.

Even more unbelievable, Shen Qing, an F-rank, could go toe-to-toe with the other party. What kind of human monster is this?

Shen Qing chuckled, a sudden pain shooting through his chest. He grinned and said, "Just pretend I didn't get locked up. It's better than being completely finished, isn't it?"

Both of them were too lazy to move and collapsed on the ground.

Xie Chong grinned, clutching his chest, and said, "Tell me, wasn't it easier to just run away?"

He's in pain all over his body now; he's never suffered like this before.

Shen Qing paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the neighboring residential area with its lights on, which seemed completely out of place here.

"...I forgot."

Running away is indeed easier, but I really didn't think of it just now.

"By the way, how did you manage to drive that cement mixer truck?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Chong instantly perked up, proudly propping himself up on one side, but then winced in pain.

"What's this? I've handled every machine and car on construction sites! This old-style mixer truck is just a matter of connecting the wires; I could do it with my eyes closed."

"A natural-born Earth and Wood Saint Body?"

Shen Qing turned her head and glanced at him. No wonder his talents and abilities were all related to the earth.

The two chatted, taking turns speaking, and slowly regained their strength. Suddenly, a series of light footsteps approached.

"What on earth is going on?!"

A roar came from the direction of the sound. The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a bald middle-aged man staring wide-eyed at the messy construction site.

The cement mixer truck with its flat cab, the ground covered in semi-solid cement, scattered building materials, and the thick smoke and dust made the construction site look like it had just been the site of a battle.

"Isn't the dispersal device on?" Shen Qing was taken aback.

"It's open."

Shen Qing followed Xie Chong's gaze and saw that the rod-shaped instrument had long since been broken in two and was scattered among the rubble.

"Holy crap, what is this now?!"

The bald man finally noticed the rotting corpse on the ground, its bulging eyes staring intently at him.

The bald man was so frightened that he fell over, screamed, and backed away while bracing himself on the ground.

"He's already dead, what's there to be afraid of?" Xie Chong blurted out.

Startled by the sudden sound, the bald man finally noticed Shen Qing and Xie Chong, who were struggling to stand up.

He glanced around at the corpses, still shaken, and then at the two only living people standing there, their bodies a mess.

The bald man reacted instantly, scrambling over and scrambling, his face full of obsequiousness:

"You two are members of that... special department, right?"

He had only vaguely heard of that department and didn't know the specifics; he had previously regarded it as an urban legend.

Last time, I just reacted casually to take a look, and although people came, I didn't see anything.

But now he doesn't need to know anymore; the current situation is the best explanation.

The person who could kill all these monsters, make a mess of the factory, and fight a war with them was someone he couldn't afford to mess with.

Ok?

There seems to be a pistol at his waist?! This is modern times; in Xia Country, such things are extremely difficult to obtain.

Thinking of this, the bald man's smile grew even more fervent.

"Yes, your matter has been resolved."

Xie Chong nodded and took out the antique bronze mirror from his pocket. "After our support staff arrives, you can continue working tomorrow or the day after."

He planned to erase the bald man's memory while he was at it, since the man had seen the walker.

As for the mess at the construction site, that's the responsibility of the logistics staff.

But before he could make a move, Shen Qing interrupted him without making a sound.

He turned to Boss Zhao and said, "Let's talk outside. It's too chaotic here. Would you mind if you found us a place to rest temporarily?"

He didn't believe the other party was completely unaware that seven coffins were buried beneath this ancient tree.

"No problem, no problem at all. This way please, both of you."

Boss Zhao quickly led the way, and the three of them headed towards the prefabricated houses in front of the construction site.

Meanwhile, at the construction site gate.

Jiang Cheng suddenly snapped out of his daze, staring blankly at the metal gate in front of him. "How did I get here?"

He had just finished get off work, so why was he wandering around here? He looked around, but it seemed like he was missing a part of his memory, and he couldn't remember anything no matter what he did.

Until three figures walked out from behind the construction site...

Under the moonlight, Jiang Cheng immediately remembered that iconic bald head. He had seen Zhao Bapi enter the construction site to collect a debt!

"Boss Zhao!"

Jiang Cheng rushed over and shouted, afraid that the person would run away again.

"Foreman Jiang, didn't we tell you all to go home?"

Boss Zhao frowned immediately, instinctively wanting to stop the person, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Jiang Cheng was stunned. His gaze passed over Boss Zhao and went to Shen Qing behind him.

"...Aoko?"

"Big brother?!"

Shen Qing was immediately dumbfounded. Hadn't everyone been told to leave work? Why hadn't her older brother left yet?

Jiang Cheng rushed over in three strides, grabbed Shen Qing's arm, and examined her in the dim moonlight.

His clothes were tattered, his body was covered in wounds, and his skin was bruised and purple. He looked like he had been hit by a car.
