Chapter 612: New Research Subjects
The others behaved as if they had received an order and launched a collective attack on Chu Miao.
Unfortunately, she seemed completely unfazed as she pushed out her palm and a massive force erupted towards the zombies.
The force was so huge that it even made the weaker teammates in her team feel shortness of breath.
This was the power of a late-stage nascent soul cultivator.
The front line of zombies was completely crushed into paste.
The ones behind them didn’t have it easy either. Their bodies exploded into pieces, their bones and flesh scattering everywhere.
The intelligent zombies behind them didn’t have it easy either.
Even though they tried to use all their power to resist and push the attack back, it was useless.
They were thrown back violently, crashing to the ground and almost unable to get up.
"What kind of power is this?!" Li Kun shouted in shock.
Even though they had already seen how strong Chu Miao was, this was on a completely different level.
"She didn’t just use spiritual energy...she has adapted to injecting immortal Qi in her attacks." Ye Xuan said, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Even if it was only a trace, it was enough to completely suppress beings of this level.
The intelligent zombies clearly felt it too.
One of them suddenly got up from the ground and shouted in human language.
"Split up and retreat." After speaking, without waiting for the others to respond, it ran deeper into the parking lot.
The others also scattered in different directions. However, the non-intelligent ones kept attacking Chu Miao’s team relentlessly.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Xuan released his darkness energy.
It spread throughout the horse of zombies quickly and only loud grunts and growls could be heard in the parking lot.
However, soon, the place became completely quiet.
Ye Xuan withdrew his attack and the darkness energy converged towards his palm.
What’s more, it came back with the death energy from the zombies attached.
Without another word, he absorbed every last bit of it and stored it away waiting to go back and refine it into spiritual energy later.
Looking on the ground, only grey skeletons were left.
Chu Miao couldn’t help but be envious of this boyfriend of hers.
He could get energy from the zombies directly without the need to absorb crystal cores.
Even though he had to refine it to use it, it was still better than absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly.
Nevertheless, she was happy that he had a special way to get stronger.
After all, once they went back to the Immortal Realm, they would need every bit of strength they could master.
"Too bad all of them are dead. If we could get a few intelligent ones alive for research, that would be great." Chu Miao said with a sigh.
"There are three in the south-east corner. I left them for you." Ye Xuan suddenly said.
This surprised Chu Miao and she couldn’t help but smile.
Indeed, her dual-cultivation partner understood her better than anyone else.
"Thanks Babe, you are the best." She said as she flashed and disappeared on the spot.
When she reappeared, she was all smiles.
Ye Xuan knew what he was doing.
He had crippled the zombies to make sure that they couldn’t run, but he didn’t absorb even the smallest amount of energy from them.
He left them completely intact.
In this way, the researchers would have more accurate results if they studied them.
Since the zombies weren’t alive, it didn’t matter if they were placed in a space ring.
She wanted to keep the Soul Ring clean and sacred. So, she never put zombies in it.
All the zombies she captured were transported in the space rings.
No matter how long they stayed there, they wouldn’t stop breathing. After all, they didn’t really need to breathe.
"Do you suspect their evolution isn’t normal?" Ye Xuan asked after Chu Miao came back.
"Yeah. Doesn’t it strike you as odd? Why would some of the zombies be so advanced that they are nearly humans while others still retain their mindlessness? Some are still similar to the first generation zombies that knew nothing but hunting humans for flesh and blood." Chu Miao replied.
This was indeed not normal.
How could the zombies that only knew how to eat human flesh a year ago be so intelligent that they could even outsmart some humans?
Something fishy must be going on.
"Do you suspect the people who caused the apocalypse?" Ye Xuan asked again.
"I am not sure, but they could do it once, what if they haven’t given up yet?" Chu Miao asked with furrowed brows.
Humans were greedy in nature, but their greed must stop at some point.
How could these people be so determined to bring ruin to the world?
"Let’s not jump to conclusions. Let’s just take them back for research and try to find out what’s happening. Maybe we will find a breakthrough soon." Chu Hao advised.
His sister tended to carry too much and he didn’t want something new to start bothering her.
If he found the people causing trouble, he would definitely not let them off.
"Can you bring out one of the zombies? The most intelligent one among those left. I want to ask something." Ye Xuan suddenly asked.
"Sure." Chu Miao replied and a male zombie suddenly appeared on the ground between them.
The others moved closer and surrounded it such that no matter what tricks it tried, it couldn’t escape.
"What do you want?" Even though it couldn’t see, its eyes were very expressive.
"What is causing you to evolve so quickly?" Murong Yi asked in a low voice.
"What does it matter to you? You just need to know that you will eventually lose." The zombie was quite cocky even as a prisoner.
"Maybe you haven’t realized that you are the prisoner here. So, who exactly lost?" Chu Hao asked sarcastically.
