199: Soft-hearted

Soft-hearted

Bang! Bang! Qiao Mu shot several arrows in succession. Each arrow could detonate a zombie's head without a single arrow missing.1

These normal repeating crossbows could only shoot five arrows at a time.

Hence, Qiao Mu did not dock another arrow onto her bow after dealing with five zombies. Instead, she put away her bow and used her fists.

Her mystic energy erupted, and flashes after flashes of white light shot toward the heads of the advancing zombies, launching a similar wave of attacks.

In the chaos of the battle, the seven or eight townspeople of Qinghe Town clutched their heads with fear and retreated to the side.

One of them was hit by a stray flash of mystic energy and collapsed onto the ground with a howl.

Ah-Jin hugged the two children and shouted at them with panic. "Stop! Listen to me, stop!"

Yang Shu's slash of his sword paused briefly, and he was nearly embraced by a zombie that leaped out from the side.

A mystic light suddenly exploded around that zombie's hand, closely followed by a black ferule hitting its head with a swish and detonating it.

A flash of black light slid across the air, and the ferule returned to Qiao Mu's hand.

Yang Shu was startled for a moment before he hurriedly turned to gratefully nod at Qiao Mu. "Th-thank you!"

Qiao Mu coldly swept her eyes across Yang Shu and Ah-Jin and used her soft, childish voice to harshly admonish, "Soft-hearted!"

"They've already been infected and entered the incubation period. Inherently speaking, they are no longer the same species as you! Being merciful will only cause your own deaths! Don't blame me for not reminding you. Once these people finish mutating and completely turn into zombies, they'll definitely be level two or above."

Yang Shu shamefully lowered his head. He… he actually was not as decisive and daring as a little girl. His few years of advantage had done him nothing.

"Kill them all." After Qiao Mu said that, she ignored Ah-Jin and them. She flew toward Xu Shanshan's side and helped them take care of the dozens of zombies that had rushed out of the rooms.

"H-how could you?! How could you be so cruel?" Ah-Jin's expression instantly shifted as he held the two children.

Did the child mean to kill everyone present?

But they were merely some innocent townspeople of Qinghe Town!

There were actually 40-50 zombies hiding in the rooms on the second level. However, they were mostly level one zombies, and they were facing a group of mystic cultivators and body cultivators, so Qiao Mu's group finished exterminating all of the zombies in a few minutes.

As soon as she turned around, the old mayor of Qinghe Town abruptly shot up from the ground and opened his mouth in a roar. He staggeringly reached his hand toward Qiao Mu.

The extent that the mouth was open had already surpassed the limits of a normal human. His contorted geriatric face magnified in front of Qiao Mu.

Bang! The child ruthlessly landed a kick at the old man's abdomen.

All of her companions felt their heart jolt and could sense that this kick must be extremely painful.

The old man curled his body and spasmed on the floor for a while before fiercely struggling to stand up.

Qiao Mu did not wait for him to get up and fiercely slapped her ferule on his head.

A light plop later, the old man's head erupted like a watermelon…

The townspeople of Qinghe Town shakily looked at this little demon. Their faces revealed their terror as they cowered together.

"Separate! Search through all of the rooms on this level." Xu Shanshan ordered icily. "Be careful, and don't be touched by these zombies."
