Chapter 123: "Rescuing" One by One!
The eleator finally closed safely, and the exhausted witch had already passed out. m vl emp yr exclusive
Everyone reached the third floor, where a profound sense of panic pervaded the crowd. All were at a loss, overwhelmed by anxiety.
"What do we do? Lady Witch has fainted..."
"Damn it! At this rate, we're done for even if we hide here!" Another loud cannon shot from outside shook the mansion building again.
"We should first take Lady Witch back to the blood pool to let her recover!" someone suggested.
"Hold on!" Su Qinggu suddenly grabbed two women who were about to take the witch into a room and coldly said, "We still have a chance to escape now. What if Lady Witch wakes up and doesn't let us retreat?"
Su Qinggu's words instantly cast a stifling atmosphere over the entire group.
With the witch currently unconscious, they had the freedom to decide whether to stay or leave. As long as the witch was here, their life-sustaining potions could continue to be produced. However, if the witch woke up and insisted on holding onto this place, what would they do?
No one wanted to die!
Everyone suddenly fell into silence.
In the midst of the team's confusion and silence, a voice came through the intercoms of everyone simultaneously: "Zi Zi... Hurry to the rooftop! I managed to get a helicopter before and it's now on the rooftop, ready to pick everyone up in batches!... Zi—We can't hold on here any longer! Hurry!!"
It was the voice of An Tianwei!
All the mutants were revitalized!
As if grasping the last straw of salvation!
"Quick!! An Tianwei is coming to rescue us! Let's go to the rooftop!!" Yang Gaoyang shouted excitedly, lifting the spirits of everyone.
"Don't rush, come in batches! Let Lady Witch and the women go first!" Su Qinggu grabbed two men who were eager to get in the elevator and shouted, "Are you all not men?!!"
"Let Lady Witch and the women go first! The helicopter can only take four or five people at a time! Everyone, don't panic. The zombies can't reach the rooftop all at once! As long as we follow the order, everyone will be saved!" Yang Gaoyang also shouted, setting the tone.
At this point, everyone was already in a state of panic. Those who suggested ideas naturally chose to accept them in a numb manner.
With the women surrounding her, the witch was sent into the elevator and slowly ascended to the rooftop.
Soon, several women and the witch arrived at the rooftop in the elevator.
An Tianwei stood at the back of the helicopter, urgently waving at them, "Hurry! The helicopter can only take three more people! You two, support Lady Witch onto the plane first! We'll take Lady Witch to a safe place and come back to pick everyone up! Don't worry, everyone will be safe! We'll be back soon!"
Several women mutants thanked "An Tianwei" excitedly. The two women closest to An Tianwei hurriedly lifted the unconscious witch onto the plane.
In the midst of panic, no one cared about who was piloting the helicopter, and no one noticed some unusual aspects of An Tianwei.
The helicopter slowly ascended and quickly flew towards a hill.
At the same time, Alex, driving the Executioner armored tank, had already withdrawn from the zombie horde and was rushing towards the hill where the helicopter was headed.
"System, how many doomsday coins do I have now?" Alex, returning his consciousness to his original body, asked the system.
[Doomsday Coins: 2304]
Over two thousand, it's already enough to learn the skill "Thunder Mastery"!
"System! Learn the 'Thunder Mastery' skill!"
Alex opened the skill interface and selected to learn the Thunder Mastery skill obtained from the Thunder Lord's corpse.
[Selected to learn the Thunder Mastery skill, conditions met...]
[Cost: 2000 Doomsday Coins]
[Currently learning...]
As the electronic synthesis sound fell, Alex felt a surge of electricity flowing through his body, a tingling and comfortable sensation emerged.
Then, as if receiving enlightenment, the method of controlling thunder appeared in his mind.
[Learning complete, you have mastered Thunder Mastery (Basic)!]
Alex casually snapped his fingers, and a lightning bolt flashed between his fingertips with a "crackling" sound.
Subsequently, following Alex's thoughts, it gradually spread to his palm, forearm, and body.
Alex lowered his hand, and the electric current dissipated instantly.
"This is high-voltage electricity!" Alex exclaimed in excitement to himself.
The electric current he just controlled had reached a strength of one million volts, already comparable to a high-power stun baton!
Alex waved his hand to test the electric current on his hand, a slight smile forming on his lips as he nodded in satisfaction.
The helicopter descended slowly to a prearranged safe location.
Two female mutants gratefully hugged the somewhat dazed An Tianwei, expressing their gratitude with tears in their eyes.
"Tianwei! Thank you! If it weren't for you, we would be doomed!"
"Tianwei! Where are we? Is it safe here?"
After expressing their gratitude, the two women, glancing at the eerie surroundings, suddenly asked An Tianwei, who seemed a bit absent-minded, with caution.
At that moment, a man suddenly appeared outside the helicopter's door and swiftly stepped onto the aircraft...
"A crackling sound" came, and both women were simultaneously convulsed by the electric shock, then fainted on the ground.
Immediately afterward, a female mutant with bull horns and a centaur-shaped mutant appeared suddenly beside them. They lifted the two women along with the sorceress and tightly bound all three with chains, then carried them to the rear of the Executioner armored tank hidden not far away.
The helicopter slowly took off again...
The people hiding on the rooftop of the mansion, waiting for the helicopter, once again saw it approaching rapidly, unable to help but burst into cheers.
Having seen hope, these people became much calmer, organizing themselves in orderly queues, awaiting the helicopter's rescue.
In the third-floor room of the mansion, a Slime-like soft-bodied water beauty emerged from the water. After putting on clothes, she opened a concealed door.
She had just tried many times to contact her sister, the Blood Sorceress.
However, no matter how she tried to contact her, there was no response from her sister. Moreover, she sensed with her telepathy that her sister, the Blood Sorceress, had already left the estate, disappearing from her perception range!
Now, she couldn't bear it any longer!
She was the Water Sorceress, a powerful evolver just like the Blood Sorceress. However, unlike the Blood Sorceress, the Water Sorceress was very fragile. If she stayed away from water for an extended period, she would dehydrate and shrink into a small, withered mass. Moreover, the Water Sorceress had no combat power whatsoever once she left the water.
As long as she was in the water, the Water Sorceress was nearly invincible. Attacking her was akin to attacking an entire body of water, with all the force being dissipated by the water. Shapeshifting into various forms, the Slime-like Water Sorceress had the ability to transform into anything.
However, these weren't the Water Sorceress's most potent abilities. Her true strength lay in her formidable psychic power, reaching an impressive level of 200. Harnessing her potent mental energy into psychic waves, enhanced by water, the Water Sorceress could instantly induce a brief paralysis in a large group of mutants. Moreover, she could temporarily control B-level zombies to fight for her!
When the Water Sorceress sensed the rooftop, the helicopter had already made four rounds. Most of the women on the rooftop had already left. The remaining men, upon seeing the Water Sorceress, became wary and picked up their weapons. Even these mutant warriors, who had lived in the mansion for over three months, were seeing the Water Sorceress for the first time!
The existence of the Water Sorceress had always been a secret in this mansion. Within this shelter, only a few people knew of the Water Sorceress's existence.
"Don't be nervous. I am the elder sister of the Blood Sorceress. Where is the Blood Sorceress?" The Water Sorceress frowned as she looked at several mutants, taking out a token with a red skull engraved on it.
A middle-aged man among the mutants, who held a high status, bowed down to the Water Sorceress and said, "Your Highness Water Sorceress, the Sorceress has been safely sent to a secure location! Please rest assured, Your Highness. The Sorceress is safe now."
Su Qinggu and Yan Gaoyang exchanged a discreet glance. Su Qinggu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, this place has been surrounded by the undead. It's not suitable to stay here for long. Please, Water Sorceress, take the helicopter to leave this place!"
The Water Sorceress frowned. Just as she hesitated, the helicopter descended once again.
"An Tianwei" continued to wave frantically and somewhat mechanically at the remaining survivors.
"Your Highness Water Sorceress! There's no time! Please come with us!" Yan Gaoyang shouted anxiously. His words were filled with genuine concern.
The Water Sorceress suddenly glared, squinting her eyes at "An Tianwei" as if sensing some anomalies.
Just as she was about to inquire, two mother-son vengeful zombies suddenly climbed onto the rooftop, roaring and spewing out two corpse offspring towards the nearest Water Sorceress.
Before she could ask, the Water Sorceress emitted a sharp scream. A sound wave erupted, and the two corpse offspring instantly exploded. The two mother zombies emitted a painful wail and crazily rushed towards the Water Sorceress.
Deprived of the nourishment of water, the Water Sorceress felt dizzy after her recent attack. Her whole body shrunk significantly, no longer as plump and round as before.
Facing the rapidly approaching mother zombies, the Water Sorceress suddenly spread her arms and leaped off the rooftop, embracing the two mother zombies as she descended!
Splash! The Water Sorceress and the two mother-son vengeful zombies simultaneously fell into the pond in front of the villa.
As soon as the Water Sorceress entered the water, it was as if a dragon had entered the sea. She instantly gained powerful hydration, and the previously exhausted state disappeared in an instant.
Another sharp scream echoed, and dozens of mutated zombies surging towards the pond had their heads instantly burst open.
The water in the center of the pond rolled continuously, and the tall figure of the Water Sorceress slowly rose from the water, tossing the corpses of the mother zombies out.
With a casual wave, more than a dozen zombies were repelled by the palm formed by the water flow.
In the water, the combat power of the Water Sorceress instantly skyrocketed, single-handedly resisting the onslaught from the undead tide.
Several B-level zombies climbing the villa abandoned their ascent, turned around, and launched a fierce attack on the Water Sorceress.
The majority of the zombies were attracted by the Water Sorceress.
The people on the rooftop all breathed a sigh of relief.
They left one by one, boarding the helicopter.
Meanwhile, inside Alex's Annihilator armored tank, several mutated women had already been crammed inside. Even the modified off-road vehicle was filled to the brim.
All these people were electrocuted by Alex and then securely bound like zongzi.
"Master, this is the last batch. Among the mutated individuals in the Red Skull Society, except for the Water Sorceress who is still fiercely battling and the people in the underground, everyone else has been captured." Su Qinggu and Yan Gaoyang were the last to leave in the helicopter. As soon as they stepped off the helicopter, they bowed down to Alex and reported.
"Water Sorceress?" Alex frowned; he was unaware of the existence of such a mutant in the manor. Moreover, the fact that a single person could withstand the undead tide was remarkable.
"Reporting to the master, the Water Sorceress is the older sister of the Blood Sorceress. She rarely appears, and few of us are aware of her existence. However, we witnessed her fighting style just now. The Water Sorceress can apparently merge her body into water, controlling the battle in the pond. Also, her mental waves are incredibly powerful.
She can instantly cause the heads of mother-son vengeful zombies to burst." Su Qinggu reported, bowing respectfully.
"Well done!" Alex licked his lips, expressing great interest in the Water Sorceress.
"You, bring the men from the off-road vehicle back, lock them in the Forbidden Soul Magic Chamber directly, and then bring Qianqian, Miaomiao, and the others here together." Alex commanded to those waiting nearby, including Lansiruo.
For these male mutated individuals, Alex didn't bother enslaving each one individually. Instead, he directly turned them into simple puppet warriors and then castrated them into eunuchs. Simple and convenient, they could serve as puppets, which was sufficient for Alex. He had no need for so many slaves with independent thoughts.
According to Alex's plan, he would leave the management of these mutated puppet warriors to Qianqian, Lansiruo, and others who were already completely enslaved. They would form a team of mutated puppet warriors for hunting zombies and collecting resources. In times of war, these individuals could be used for combat.
Since they were puppets, they could be used as cannon fodder without any concern for their lives.
"Ruoqing, you, Pipi, and Koko stay behind. Wait for my orders before taking action."
After briefing on the tasks, Alex closed his eyes again and controlled the Four-Eyed Demon Crow to fly over the manor.
...
Within the manor, the bodies of zombies had piled up. Most of the eight B-rank mutated zombies and hundreds of C-rank mutated zombies were already dead. The pond, which was originally filled with water, now had only half left, and the Water Sorceress was exhausted.
The continuous and intense battles, coupled with the decreasing water in the pond, had taken a toll on her powerful regenerative abilities.
"Plunk!" A splash of water rose as the Water Sorceress finally collapsed into the murky pond. Despairingly and barely breathing, she gazed at the gleaming blade of the Tyrant Zombie slowly lifting towards her.
At that moment, a blade flashed, and a long-handled knife with flickering blue flames suddenly pierced out from the chest of the Tyrant Zombie. Subsequently, a bright surge of electric light lit up.
The Tyrant Zombie instantly fell to its knees, electrified.
Before completely losing consciousness, the Water Sorceress saw the man holding the knife. He appeared ordinary but exuded an irresistible charm—a charm brought about by formidable strength.
Bending down with concern, the man gently lifted her and tenderly asked, "Miss, are you alright?"
Soon after, the Water Sorceress fell into a deep unconsciousness.
