27: Chapter 27: Kill Zombies, Obtain Crystal Cores!

Bolts of thunder filling the sky, wrapped in purple-gold arcs of light, tore through the dark clouds like mad dragons, crashing straight down onto the top of the Giant Zombie's head!

However, Ye Fan had still underestimated the zombie before him somewhat.

The zombie was simply too clever.

The moment it sensed the descent of this lightning, it exerted its Supernatural Ability with all its might.

Layers of thick rock shields appeared above it in an instant.

"Sizzle"—the instant the lightning touched the rock shields, a piercing, explosive sound made one's eardrums ache, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly covered the light-gray rock armor.

Yet, that Giant Zombie seemed completely unaware of the pain.

"Roar, roar, roar!" Instead, it tilted its head back and let out an excited roar.

The rock armor on its body shattered and reformed, reformed and shattered; layers of stone debris fell with a rustle, but it was never pierced through by the lightning.

However, the group of zombies around it were not so lucky the moment this infinite lightning descended.

Within a hundred-meter radius, apart from this Giant Zombie, not a single one survived.

All of them turned to ash and dissipated into the sky.

"Hmph!" Ye Fan sneered.

He looked at the Giant Zombie with a calm expression and slowly said, "It's not over yet! This has only just begun."

As Ye Fan's words fell, he saw his two fingers slowly point downward gently.

The lightning wandering in Ye Fan's eyes erupted instantly.

"Boom!" A thunderous roar sounded once again.

The next moment, the power of the lightning increased a hundredfold, striking directly onto the rock shields.

In just an instant, crisp sounds of rock shattering rang out rapidly, just like firecrackers going off.

The rock shields above the Giant Zombie's head were ground into endless fragments by this terrifying energy.

The infinite thunder struck its crown instantly.

"Roar—!" The Giant Zombie finally let out a painful shriek, and its originally rock-steady body began to tremble violently.

In those blood-red pupils that were locked onto Ye Fan, panic appeared for the first time.

"Roar, roar, roar!" The intense pain made it roar madly.

"Go to hell!" Ye Fan's figure instantly became sharp, and his right hand clenched into a fist.

The massive lightning, carrying destructive power like divine retribution, attacked the Giant Zombie with everything it had.

"Bang!" A massive sound instantly swept across the entire world.

Violent explosions erupted instantly all around the Giant Zombie.

A huge hole appeared in the ground of the playground in an instant.

The thunder in the sky also completely exhausted its energy in this strike.

The gathered dark clouds also quickly scattered.

Ye Fan also returned to his original state, and the lightning wandering in his eyes disappeared without a trace at this very moment.

"It's done!" Ye Fan looked at the huge crater and spoke with some excitement.

Afterward, Ye Fan gripped the Star Blade in his hand and walked cautiously toward the crater.

He looked down.

The Giant Zombie had long since disappeared without a trace.

The crater was quite vast, a full meter deep.

In this crater, a fist-sized, dark-gray energy crystal core lay quietly inside.

The moment Ye Fan saw this energy core, his heart filled with joy. He quickly jumped into the crater and slowly picked it up.

This energy crystal core was dark gray, looking just like a stone.

Ye Fan could feel the pure energy contained within this energy crystal core.

Seeing this energy crystal core in his hand that contained pure energy and looked like a stone, Ye Fan spoke excitedly.

"This... could this be a zombie crystal core? And it's a Tier 5 zombie crystal core at that!"

Ye Fan's face was filled with joy as he quickly stored this zombie crystal core into his system storage space.

"Such a good treasure, I can't miss it. I wonder if there are any other zombie crystal cores."

Ye Fan scanned the surroundings of the playground greedily.

The Lightning Talisman he had used earlier had killed quite a few ordinary zombies.

Ye Fan swept his gaze over, and sure enough, there was a surprise!

Ye Fan quickly ran toward the location of the zombie crystal cores and rapidly stored them into his main system storage space.

"Not bad, not bad!" Ye Fan smiled as he collected the crystal cores dropped by the zombies, speaking slowly.

Up until now!

Within a hundred meters of Ye Fan's location, not a single zombie dared to approach.

Who knows why?

It seemed they had been frightened by the thunder he had summoned earlier and dared not step into the range that the thunder had just attacked.

This was also why Ye Fan had not been disturbed until now!

"That's about it, there shouldn't be any more! Today's harvest is quite bountiful! I actually obtained seven zombie crystal cores!"

Ye Fan held a zombie crystal core, tossing it up and down in his hand, his face full of smiles, feeling very satisfied.

He walked slowly toward the teetering tree.

There were still hundreds of zombie corpses over there!

Among those corpses, there must be many more zombie crystal cores hidden!

Ye Fan had just arrived under the tree and crouched in front of a zombie corpse.

He was just about to pry it open to search for a zombie crystal core!

However, right at this moment!

Another very thick roar came from deep within the school.

Following this sound, the group of zombies that had originally dared not approach Ye Fan, at this moment, seemed to have heard some kind of irresistible order.

They roared rapidly.

Afterward, they actually dared to step into the area that had terrified them.

They charged toward Ye Fan frantically, waving their limbs!

Even more vigorously than before.

Ye Fan turned his head instantly, and seeing these rioting zombies, he was speechless.

"No way, right? It just finished, and here they come again?"

"Hmph!"

Ye Fan stood up instantly, gave a light snort, and continued, "Fine, I'm scared, okay?"

While speaking, he waved his hand gently toward the pile of zombie corpses in front of him.

The hundreds of zombie corpses in front of him instantly disappeared without a trace, stored into his system storage space.

Afterward, he turned around, glanced at the zombies behind him, and revealed a cold sneer.

Gripping the Star Blade in his hand, he bolted toward the outside of the school!

Ye Fan's Speed was so fast that this group of ordinary zombies could not catch up.

He ran in front, while the zombie horde chased from behind!

But no matter what, they could not catch up to Ye Fan.

In order to ensure Ji Yuyan would not be discovered by the group of zombies chasing him, Ye Fan chose to flee in the opposite direction.

The group of zombies behind him chased Ye Fan for a full kilometer.

They were still unrelenting!

"Roar, roar, roar!"

At this moment, from within the school, a deep roar sounded once again, and the group of zombies chasing Ye Fan all stopped in their tracks at once.

Behind Ye Fan, the number of zombies was quite a bit higher than those he had killed, densely packed, all following behind him.

These densely packed zombies first froze in place for a few seconds.

Afterward, they all turned around together, gave up on chasing Ye Fan, and hurried back toward the school.

"Hmm, what's going on?"

Ye Fan watched the zombie horde quickly turn around, stopped his pace, and revealed an expression of confusion.
