Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge-Chapter 118: Those Who Surrender Shall Not Be Killed
"Boom!!!"
Just as the Space Barrier was about to reach its limit and Baize was on the verge of turning into a mist of blood, a loud explosion came from the direction of Xia Li and Tian Yu.
What exploded again?! ๐ณ๐๐ฒ๐๐จ๐๐ฏ๐๐๐ง๐๐น.๐ฐ๐ผ๐
This time, the explosionโs power was much greater than the bomb they had just detonated.
Unlike the bombs Xiao Ba and his team detonated, this explosion did not produce a sky-high flame.
Instead, a loud bang suddenly erupted from where Xia Li and Tian Yu were, the ground instantly collapsing into a large pit before dirt surged up, followed by a shockwave that swept across the entire battlefield.
The fierce shockwave flipped nearby superpower users and even tore apart those with weaker constitutions and zombies that didnโt know to hide into shreds of bloodied flesh.
The vine platform that Father Ji had crafted with his superpower was also skewed by the shockwave, appearing precariously close to collapse.
Ji Wanwan, who was on the platform, was also affected, losing control of Baize in the space.
But the moment the Space Barrier vanished, Ji Wanwan vaguely saw Baize had been compressed into a mist of blood; however, amid the chaos, her sight was blurred.
Now, Baize had disappeared, and the battlefield was plunged into chaos by the loud explosion.
Screams and moans intertwined, even overshadowing the distant roar of the horde of zombies.
Looking at the huge pit on the ground, Ji Wanwanโs heart skipped a beat, "Ah Li..."
At that moment, she could no longer concern herself with Baize.
Thinking of the impact, Ah Liโs flesh and blood body might have been blown to bits, making Ji Wanwanโs heart tremble in panic.
She instantly teleported into the pit, where dust filled the air, blocking out the sun, and nothing was clear.
"Ah Li?!" The unidentifiable shredded flesh beneath her feet frightened Ji Wanwan.
Ah Li, you must not be harmed!
Qi Hao is still lying in the cryo-chamber, if you also fall, what am I to do?
Suddenly, Ji Wanwan saw a piece of torn red clothing on the ground, Xia Liโs favorite color, and also the color of the red dress she wore.
"Buzzโ"
A ringing in her ears arose, a feeling of blood flowing backward filled her limbs and torso, freezing Ji Wanwanโs hands and feet.
Each step she took on the ground felt incredibly heavy, but she still walked towards the direction of the red clothing fragments with difficulty.
Under the dust, the once beautiful girl lay on the ground like a broken doll, her life and death unknown.
Ji Wanwan suddenly covered her mouth, tears falling heavily.
She couldnโt believe that the girl blown into a mangled state in front of her was her Ah Li.
"No, no, no..."
With tearful eyes Ji Wanwan ran madly over to Xia Liโs side and, with a thud, knelt down, placing her hand on Xia Liโs bloodied and mangled heart.
"System! Immediately use Equivalence Healing to repair Ah Liโs heart, using my spiritual power and physical strength!"
As long as a Zombie Hunter isnโt completely killed, she can recover fully with her powerful healing abilities. Thus, Ji Wanwan didnโt even ask the System about Xia Liโs vital signs and directly used Equivalence Healing to repair Xia Liโs heart.
As long as this heart continues to beat, her Ah Li can come back!
The System, having been with Ji Wanwan for so long, knew her temperament well and immediately began to repair Xia Liโs heart while simultaneously monitoring the vital signs of both Ji Wanwan and Xia Li.
"Host, Xia Liโs current spiritual power is at 20%, physical strength at 25%, and she is in a critical state. Your spiritual power is 60%, physical strength 45%. With your current condition, using Equivalence Healing wonโt last long."
Unlike the last time she faced Qi Hao, Ji Wanwan seemed much calmer this time.
Her face was cold as she said, "Donโt worry about it. As long as Iโm not dead, just save us and then talk."
The System fell silent.
Soon, Xu Siming, Zhou Kai, and Father Ji arrived.
Upon seeing Xia Li on the ground and Ji Wanwanโs complexion growing more and more ashen, Zhou Kai immediately used his Wood Element superpower to restore the bodies of Ji Wanwan and Xia Li.
Stunned, Father Ji came to his senses and, following the example, began to heal the two.
With a complex expression, Xu Siming, who had an overview of the entire situation, stepped forward and told Ji Wanwan what he had seen, "Tian Yu blew himself up."
"Blew himself up?" Ji Wanwan raised her head, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. She found it hard to understand Tian Yuโs actions.
Xu Siming bit his lip, "Tian Yu was at a disadvantage after Xia Li cut off one of his arms. Even without self-destructing, he had no way out. By self-destructing, at least he could take a life for a life..."
He stopped mid-sentence, glanced at the horrific sight of Xia Li on the ground, and silently closed his mouth.
Ji Wanwan understood his meaningโTian Yuโs self-destruction was meant to take Xia Li with him.
Indeed, everyone from the Baize Union is crazy!
With the support of Zhou Kai and her father, Ji Wanwanโs condition greatly improved, and Xia Liโs heart gradually began to beat again.
Ji Wanwan moved her fingertips and took Xia Li into the space.
The explosion had coincidentally occurred just as the moment Baize was about to be crushed. It didnโt seem entirely coincidental to Ji Wanwan.
She stood up, "Tian Yu is dead, Baize is severely injured, and the remaining superpower users from the Baize Union no longer pose a threat to us.
Now, whether Baize is alive or dead is still unknown; everyone, clean up the battlefield, search for Baizeโs whereabouts, eliminate the zombie hordes, and deal with the remaining superpower users of the Baize Union. Spare those who surrender, and leave none who resist."
Upon receiving the order, Xu Siming and Zhou Kai turned around and began to work, while Father Ji stepped forward concernedly and gently brushed the dust off his daughterโs face, "Ah Li... she..."
"Dad, Ah Li is fine, donโt worry." Her fatherโs words pained Ji Wanwanโs heart, and, in order not to show weakness, she promptly interrupted him.
Father Ji could not overlook his daughterโs feigned strength.
After all, Wanwan was still just a child who hadnโt grown up...
He sighed silently in his heart and pulled out a smile, "Okay, then Iโm relieved. You rest for a while, Iโll go help Xu and the others!"
Watching her father leave, Ji Wanwan hid the bitterness in her eyes, her gaze towards the place where Baize had disappeared resolute and ruthless.
The blast had cleared the area below the vine platform of any living zombies. Ji Wanwan instantly teleported there, her gaze searching through the pile of bodies.
Suddenly, she spotted a tangled mess of white hair.
Ji Wanwanโs eyes narrowed, her fingertips moved slightly, and she controlled her space superpower to pull the body from the pile.
The body was charred black, with features distorted and twisted, making it unrecognizable. Only from the sparse white hair could one guess that this might be Baizeโs body.
Ji Wanwan seemed thoughtful.
After a moment, her fingertips moved, and the charred body instantly turned into a pile mixed with black ash and blood mist.
There was no Crystal Core in the blood mist, so this body was not a zombie; it was human.
Because of Tian Yuโs self-destruction and Baizeโs disappearance, the remaining superpower users of the Baize Union crumbled without a fight.
The group was thoroughly routed, with some fleeing and others surrendering. Soon, the entire battlefield was cleared.
But the uncertainty of whether Baize was truly dead lingered in Ji Wanwanโs heart, causing her great unease...
