Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space Chapter 840: Negotiation ( 6 )

The synchronization between Jiva and its host had hit full capacity at 100%, enabling it to carry out commands independently without needing direct input from the host.

Across the whole Tarakam Civilization, solely the Great Commander possessed the ability to wield Jiva. For countless millennia, everyone believed Jiva had vanished alongside the Great Commander's demise.

No one could have foreseen that the supreme system, capable of overriding directives from Krayan and Gaia, was loyally accompanying the Great Commander in each of his rebirths.

Within under 20 minutes, Jiang Ziyi arrived at the heart of the city. Hovering suspended in the air, he donned a mask that concealed everything except his lips, ensuring his identity remained hidden from all.

He lifted his hand and channeled his energy. In the following instant, a dark fireball hurtled downward toward the earth with incredible velocity. Upon contact with the surface, it detonated immediately.

BOOM!

The blast's force not only trembled the earth and stirred up a dense veil of dust, but it also obliterated the spot struck by the black fireball, carving out a enormous crater in its wake.

Prior to the dust settling completely, Jiva's voice resounded within Jiang Ziyi's thoughts.

With those words spoken, a gentle azure glow wrapped around his form for a brief moment. As soon as the glow faded, Jiang Ziyi found himself clad in a combat outfit akin to Jiao Lizhi's. Gripping a pair of firearms, he squeezed the triggers.

Zing! Zing! Zing!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Roar!!"

Out from the crater came the noises of detonations and the guttural cries of zombies.

While dispatching the zombies, Jiang Ziyi cast a look at the compact map. Despite his rapid pace in eliminating them, the count of red markers showed no reduction whatsoever.

As Sanchou Base wouldn't hold against the swarm of zombies for much longer, he switched his arsenal. Abandoning the guns, he opted for the hand cannon instead.

BOOM! BOOM!

In contrast to the laser gun, the hand cannon delivered an assault strength multiple times greater. A single shot from it wiped out over 800 zombies in one go.

Determined that the pace was sufficient, Jiang Ziyi pressed on with the zombie extermination, treating it like a casual video game session.

At the same time, back in Sanchou Base, Jiao Lizhi sensed something amiss. She accessed the system interface and spotted that her system's energy usage had risen by 1% beyond the norm.

"Gaia, what's happening in my space? Why has the energy usage spiked all of a sudden?"

Upon hearing the response, Jiao Lizhi considered that the soul connection linked her with her sister's system. Reflecting on the substantial energy her sister expended to power up her mobile suit, she let go of her doubts.

Right after shutting the system interface, her fiancé approached and informed her, "Ah Zhi, we should head out now."

"Alright."

Upon exiting the deserted dwelling, they discovered the team members already assembled and awaiting them. Given their mission to slip into enemy lines, deploying the military helicopter was out of the question.

Once all had clasped hands, Jiao Lizhi commanded, "Gaia, open the space portal."

Jin Xuyan had supplied her with the coordinates for the objective zone. Instantly upon the space portal's activation, the group vanished from their position.

In fewer than five seconds, they materialized at the edge of Sanchou city.

"ROAR!!"

The zombies picked up on their presence right away and lunged toward them with ferocity.

Aside from the recruits, the rest of the group had grown accustomed to the spatial leap, shaking off any vertigo quickly. Spotting the incoming zombie assault, Zhang Yuan extended his arm to summon a sturdy earth barrier, which halted the onslaught.

CRACK!

Simultaneously, Li Sikai lifted his palm, conjuring a vast network of lightning encircling their group. With a gesture, he broadened the net, which then scorched the zombies thoroughly.

The foul odor of decaying flesh blended with the aroma of charred meat permeated the atmosphere.

Although the assailants were level four zombies, Zhang Yuan and Li Sikai had both advanced to level four themselves. Their elevated levels had bolstered the offensive and protective capabilities of the earth shield and lightning net alike.

With the zombies' advance halted by their defenses, Shen Jinzhe hurled a azure fireball at the horde. Trailing right after was Gao Bohai's swirling tornado.

BOOM!

As the fireball merged with the tornado, a tremendous blast erupted, eradicating a cluster of zombies. Shen Jinzhe channeled his energy into the flames, directing the resulting fire tornado with precision.

All of this unfolded within mere seconds. By the time the newcomers recovered their bearings, zombie remains littered the surroundings. Several were partially singed, while others had been reduced entirely to cinders.

Refusing to lag behind, the fresh recruits dove into the battle. Through their synchronized efforts, the rate at which they felled zombies multiplied by three.

On the other side, Qin Luzi scrutinized his map with intense focus. After thirty minutes, he at last detected a tiny red indicator drifting apart from their position.

In typical scenarios, zombies acted on pure instinct and charged at them. For this one to retreat instead, it indicated the creature had evolved awareness and acquired smarts.

"Captain, I've located it!"

Jin Xuyan pivoted toward him and declared, "Follow me."

Per their plan, Qin Luzi twisted his wrist, and moments later, he and his Captain soared off in pursuit of the zombie's path.

The team members, observing this, understood immediately that the objective had been spotted.

Minutes passed before Qin Luzi and Jin Xuyan caught sight of a diminutive zombie darting swiftly through the zombie masses.

At a distance of 100 meters trailing the zombie, it abruptly spun around, locking eyes with them. Sensing peril, it accelerated abruptly.

In response, Jin Xuyan drew his longsword and challenged, "Where do you think you're escaping to?"

He slashed with the longsword, sending a enormous blade of fire racing toward the zombie with blazing speed.

Detecting the approaching strike, the zombie crouched low suddenly. Jin Xuyan and Qin Luzi assumed it was evading the blow. To their surprise, the zombie vanished without a trace.

BOOM!
