Chapter 204: Killing The Spiritual Zombie
Once the five people were back in the truck, Leng Pan withdrew the mist she had used to form the path and began to scan the area near the building to locate the spiritual zombie.
"I wish your little brother was here right now. Locating that zombie would have been so easy but now, we have to do it manually." Leng Pan complained while still fighting the zombies with her Tang sword.
Because of their constant training over the past few weeks and the consumption of spiritual spring water, their physical condition was better than that of an average human and they don't get tired as easily as others do.
Therefore, the two husband and wife duo could still fight physically with the zombies for a long time.
The only problem was, it seemed that there was an endless supply of zombies in this area. The more they killed, the more that spiritual zombie summoned.
At this rate, they would spend the whole day there fighting and still be unable to leave.
The best option was to kill that spiritual zombie.
"We will find it. You stay here and guard the truck, I'll go look for the zombies." Lu Zhen suggested and prepared to leave when he was stopped by his wife.
"No, stay here. We will find another way to kill it without splitting up." Leng Pan said hurriedly.
She still remembered the last time they had split up to fight separately. Even though they were stronger now, she wasn't taking any chances.
Lu Zhen never argued with his wife so he didn't insist on leaving.
"Okay then. Let's find another way." He said as he swang the Miao saber again and again.
As they fought and thought of a solution, Leng Pan suddenly remembered her mimicking ability.
If she created another version of herself and let her go to look for the zombie, that would be better.
Moreover, as long as that zombie got close to her mimicry, she could detonate it and splash all the zombies around including the spiritual zombie with the purification mist.
Thinking of this solution, Leng Pan was overjoyed.
"I thought of something. Protect me for a minute." Leng Pan said excitedly and Lu Zhen just followed what she said and surrounded her with his mutated fire.
Leng Pan sat down cross-legged and began to concentrate. Because she wanted the mimicry to be lethal, she decided to use the water she produced herself instead of utilizing the humidity in the air.
This required some energy and strength but she still worked hard. It took her two minutes to create a perfect copy of herself that wasn't like a puppet.
She wanted the version that could take action as long as she transmitted her thoughts.
It was like an extension of herself. Once the mimicry was ready, she fed it her thoughts of looking for the spiritual zombie.
Thus, the mimicry stood up and headed in the direction of the staff building. Through its eyes, Leng Pan was able to see the situation along the way and how packed the zombie horde was.
She had lost more than half of her energy while making the mimicry but she could still fight.
After all, the last time she practiced the mimicry she was able to make two of them.
Now she has only made one. Thus, she still had energy left to fight.
The people in the truck were surprised at first when they saw Leng Pan run through the crowd of zombies without fear.
But the surprise soon turned into shock when they saw another Leng Pan still fighting beside Lu Zhen.
What was happening? How were there two of the same person? They couldn't understand what was happening.
The mimicry of Leng Pan finally spotted the spiritual zombie surrounded by others as if a gang boss under the protection of his minions.
She couldn't understand how these creatures without thinking power could form something like an army and even know how to protect their leader.
The zombies seemed to be evolving way too fast.
"Found it, it's under the protection of others and my mimicry would probably have all the mist consumed before it got to it." Leng Pan said as she observed the surrounding area where the zombie was.
"What if we use the duo-attack technique?" Lu Zhen asked.
"That's a good idea. We can launch the attack before my mimicry fades completely so that we have a clear view of the shot.
But the distance is longer than anything we have ever attempted. So, we have to give it our all." Leng Pan suggested again and Lu Zhen nodded his head.
After making up their minds, the two surrounded themselves with the purification mist and this time Leng Pan used the water droplets in the air to create a launching tunnel.
She used more water and compressed it so much that once Lu Zhen launched the fireball inside it and it closed at the end, it would be as powerful as a heavy cannon.
Once the tunnel was ready, Lu Zhen compressed a large and hottest fireball into something small enough to fit through the ten centimeter-wide tunnel.
As soon as the fireball entered the tunnel, Leng Pan closed the back, thus increasing the pressure inside and pushing the fireball's speed to the limit.
It followed the trajectory that Leng Pan had set with the tunnel and travelled through the horde of zombies obliterating everything in its path.
The zombies that were close to it also turned to ashes just from the heat. One could imagine how hot it was.
Because of the many zombies in the way that acted as obstacles, by the time the fireball arrived where the spiritual zombie was, its speed had slowed down and it was stopped by the thick wall of the zombies protecting the spiritual zombie leader.
The fireball exploded upon contact and most of the zombies within a twenty meters radius turned into ashes.
Even the spiritual zombie was gravely injured and was attempting to get away. The mimicry that had almost faded to nothing went forward and the last of the mist was dispersed on the zombies, which even without looking, Leng Pan could be sure turned into mist as well.
