Huo Yiming wasn’t very interested in the zombie at first, but he noticed the curiosity in Wan Tong’s eyes, so he nodded and said, “Let’s go in and take a look.”

The young soldier couldn’t persuade Wan Tong and the others, so he quickly reported to Cai Lin when he saw them approaching the mall.

Cai Lin’s calm voice came through the walkie-talkie, “If they want to go in, let them. Keep an eye on their movements.”

He had a strange premonition that there might be some good gains today.

At this time, Wan Tong had also learned of Qiu Jiji’s location and knew that Qiu Jiji had already infiltrated the mall and was hiding in the space.

Wan Tong really had the idea of scavenging for supplies.

The setting sun left only a hint of orange light, and the sky gradually darkened. The scorching temperature finally dropped, but the mall was enclosed, and the stuffy air made Wan Tong feel a bit nauseous.

The six-story mall had transparent glass above, casting some light and shadow, barely allowing people to see the artistic escalators and each floor’s artwork-like railings.

In the areas without light, it was dark, and Wan Tong didn’t know what dangers might be hidden there.

However, Wan Tong could see things in the dark almost clearly now, so she could roughly see the surroundings.

A crisp sound of *clang* came from above, and when Wan Tong looked up, she saw countless pieces of broken glass falling down!

Instinctively, Wan Tong pulled Huo Yiming and Mo Xing to hide behind a pillar, but she didn’t hear the sound of glass hitting the ground.

Those pieces of glass seemed to come to life, changing direction before touching the ground, heading towards the shadows behind the pillar.

Wan Tong instantly teleported with the one adult and one child next to her, and soon her ability couldn’t hold up any longer.

Huo Yiming grabbed her hand, and lightning flickered in the center of the mall for a few moments, and the lights in the whole mall suddenly dimmed.

“I saw a zombie on the fifth floor.” Wan Tong pointed in a direction. Sure enough, that zombie is sensitive when there’s light.

Potted plants, massage chairs, glass counters, and various objects all flew towards their direction in an instant.

However, when those objects were two meters away from them, all those objects disappeared, leaving only a blue-purple spatial crack.

Sounds of banging came from the direction of the fifth floor, along with the angry roar of the zombie.

All the objects controlled by the zombie that flew over were transferred to the fifth floor, falling onto the zombie.

A purple and white lightning stayed in the center of the first floor, with crackling electric currents making a sizzling sound. The lights on the first floor lit up one by one.

The zombie was wearing a security guard uniform from the mall, with gray-white pupils and black cracks on its face that looked eerie.

It faced towards the lightning and reached out its hand, and the lightning actually floated towards it.

It could even control the skills released by Huo Yiming.

But, that’s lightning…

When the zombie slowly touched the bright light, a sizzling sound rang out, and it convulsed and fell down.

Outside the mall, a small team of soldiers was observing the situation in the mall. The lightning flickered, the lights occasionally lit up, and the sound of heavy objects colliding and the howling of the zombie made their scalps tingle.

How intense is it in there?

After about ten minutes, the lights in the mall went out, and it instantly quieted down.

“Captain, are they dead?” The scout asked anxiously.

Cai Lin looked in the direction of the shopping mall without saying a word.

The zombie inside the mall never left, and none of the people they sent in ever came back alive, so everyone only had a vague understanding of that zombie.

But it was indeed powerful, that was a fact.

However, from the angry voice it made just now, it seemed that it didn’t have the upper hand.

“Get your equipment ready, we’re going in to take a look.” After a moment, Cai Lin spoke up.

At this moment, inside the mall, when the zombie was struck down by Huo Yiming, Wan Tong heard the voice of Shishi.

[Tongtong, Qiu Jiji came out from the space.]

Wan Tong flashed towards the direction of the zombie, and sure enough, she saw Qiu Jiji’s figure.

The zombie was heavily injured and could hardly use its abilities anymore, but it was still attacking Qiu Jiji.

Qiu Jiji was eager to kill the zombie, as she had a good reason to possess that special crystal nucleus, so she collected everything the zombie attacked her with into her space, while also using ice arrows to shoot at the zombie’s head.

At the moment when Qiu Jiji saw Wan Tong, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes. She increased the frequency of throwing ice arrows, and deliberately created an unstable state of her psychic powers. The ice arrows were aimed at Wan Tong!

However, before the ice arrows could hit Wan Tong, they were struck down by lightning.

Qiu Jiji even felt a numbness in her arm, and she could no longer use her ice-type ability.

At the same time, she heard an urgent alert from the system: [*Beep beep* – The space is under attack, system temporarily severs contact with host.]

After this sound, Qiu Jiji realized that her space had also malfunctioned. Faced with the shattered glass flying towards her, she panicked and quickly hid behind a pillar.

Then everything quieted down.

Before Qiu Jiji could even heave a sigh of relief, a dark figure appeared in front of her, and an iron-like hand gripped her throat, lifting her up.

“You wanted to harm Tongtong,” said Huo Yiming, his cold gaze like a sharp blade cutting across her face.

He had almost been able to open her space just now, but for some reason, her space seemed to have disappeared!

“*Cough*… no, it was an accident,” Qiu Jiji explained hastily.

Huo Yiming exerted more force with his palm, and Qiu Jiji’s face showed even more painful expression.

Suddenly, the hand that was gripping her neck began to be covered by a layer of ice, but she was still struggling.

Huo Yiming frowned and loosened his hand, watching her fall to the ground.

At this moment, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared at the entrance, quickly approaching the group.

The flashlights in their hands quickly illuminated the space.

The zombie was completely silent, and Mo Xing, wearing gloves, was digging the crystal core with a clattering sound. Wan Tong stood beside him, but her attention was on Huo Yiming. She couldn’t kill Qiu Jiji, but Huo Yiming could.

Unfortunately, Qiu Jiji was fast and had already taken refuge behind the team of soldiers.

“Brother Huo, I really didn’t mean it. I’ve been following you for so long, can’t you give me even a little trust?” She covered her neck and shed tears.

Huò Yìmíng withdrew his gaze with disgust, knowing that now was not the right time to deal with Qiu Jiji, so he turned back to Wan Tong.

“Are you injured?” He asked gently.

Wan Tong revealed her index finger, “I got a scratch from an ice arrow.”

Huo Yiming frowned and took out a band-aid, carefully wrapping it around her finger.

Although he knew that her wounds healed quickly, he still felt heartache.

Cai Lin watched their interaction and noticed a strange scene of a child enthusiastically digging out a crystal nucleus with his curiosity. She couldn’t help but ask, “Is that the zombie with telekinetic psychic powers?”

Just as he finished speaking, Mo Xing cleaned the crystal nucleus that revealed a bright red light.

Crystal nuclei of level six and above zombies would turn red.

Huo Yiming looked at the red crystal nucleus and remembered the two blue crystal nuclei again.

After his space-type ability reached level nine, he could easily open the space of lower-level ability users, but he needed to exert more effort to open Qiu Jiji’s space.

In those few seconds of probing just now, he discovered that there was even more enormous energy stored in the blue crystal nuclei in Qiu Jiji’s space.

That space was very special and did not belong to the scope of abilities.

He should just keep Qiu Jiji, so he can always find the secret of that space.
