Holding Their Own Space, the Family Returns to the Apocalypse

209: What is this lump of iron?The zombies were ”frozen” by Ai Yue, and the others began to collect crystal cores with peace of mind.

Ai Yue kept her attention focused, waiting for that zombie to come out at any moment, but as the day was almost over, there was still no sign of it.

The group decided not to wait anymore; after a long day, they decided to go back and rest.

”Big Brother, do you think it’s possible there simply isn’t an evolved and upgraded zombie at all?” On the way to the place where they rested last night,

Gong Qiumu said.

”No, there definitely is one. It’s just that it might have evolved some intelligence and realized it couldn’t defeat us, so it naturally ran away.”

”No way, it actually became smart? Then how are we going to catch it?”

”I don’t know...” Gong Qiuqiu didn’t say anything more.

”Eh, isn’t that Brother Gu?” Gong Qiumu said in surprise, looking ahead.

The others saw him too and stopped in their tracks.

Gu Xiheng led six people, walking toward them step by step.

Coming closer, Gu Xiheng smiled slightly. ”Ai Yue, Qiuqiu, how are you? You’re not hurt, are you?”

Ai Yue’s eyes flickered. What’s going on? Why is he here?

”With your strength, to actually pass through the zombie tide and the Devil Frog swarm unscathed, that’s truly impressive!” Gong Qiuqiu said admiringly.

A look of pride appeared in Gu Xiheng’s eyes: ”We won’t have to fear zombies anymore.”

”Oh? How so?” This time, Gong Qiuqiu was genuinely curious.

”Look, what’s this?” Gu Xiheng picked up the weapon hanging on him and showed it to them.

Doubt flashed in their eyes. What was this black iron lump? They couldn’t tell what it was.

But seeing Gu Xiheng’s doting expression, they took another careful look.

Mhm, they looked!

And pondered it!

But they still couldn’t figure out what it was.

”Alright, stop keeping us in suspense. What is this black thing that you treasure so much?” Gong Qiuqiu asked bluntly.

A sharp gleam appeared in Gu Xiheng’s eyes as he said:

”It’s a gun!”

”Huh?” This is a gun? Who are you kidding? What gun looks like this? Gu Xiheng was highly suspected of lying.

Seeing the doubt and disbelief still on their faces, he said, ”Don’t look at its ugly appearance; it’s truly useful. Dealing with those zombies is much easier than using our Superpowers.

This isn’t an ordinary gun; it’s an ability gun specifically made for exterminating zombies.”

The others looked at each other. An ability gun?

”The reason we could emerge from the zombie tide unscathed and appear here is all thanks to it,” Gu Xiheng continued.

”If that’s the case, what do you mean by running in front of us to show off? You wouldn’t normally do something like this!” Ai Yue said coldly.

Gu Xiheng laughed helplessly. ”Ai Yue, let me finish. I’m not showing off. I want to invite you back again. As long as you return, these ability guns are yours to use as you please!”

”No need! Is there anything else? If not, please have your people clear the way and let us through!” Ai Yue said without the slightest interest.

What could be more useful than her Superpower? What could be more useful than their tacit teamwork?

None of it. In that case, why would they use it!

The joyful expression on Gu Xiheng’s face gradually faded. He looked at the ability gun in his hand and gave a self-deprecating smile.

So be it!

Ai Yue and the others were determined to draw a clear line between themselves and the base.

He wasn’t a pestering person either. Since they had clearly stated they didn’t want anything to do with them, he wouldn’t shamelessly beg them to return.

With the ability gun, they weren’t afraid of anyone!

The appearance of the ability gun made up for their lack of combat power. Just by fighting their way out of the Safety Tower without specifically collecting crystal cores, they still gathered two hundred. If they had tried, he believed the number of crystal cores collected would be astonishing.
