The women quickly sprang into action, running upstairs to change, while Zuo Feng curled his lips in disdain.
He thought, “Why run upstairs to change? Changing here would be so much better.
Such a meaningful team-building activity, and they exclude him, the team leader—how outrageous!”
Leaning comfortably on the sofa, Zuo Feng carefully sensed Kong Ling's movements.
Kong Ling, who had initially run tens of thousands of meters away, was now circling, getting closer and closer to the villa area.
“She really can run!”
Zuo Feng secretly marveled. Given the speed of the white shadow and Kong Ling—tens of thousands of meters in just over a minute—they had been running at high speed for four or five minutes.
Her stamina was simply terrifying!
“Feng Ge, have you pinpointed the location?”
The women, having changed their clothes, came downstairs and sat on the sofa.
Xiao Mi Tao even dove into Zuo Feng’s arms, excited about the legendary zombie!
Xiao Mi Tao was now bursting with curiosity, her large, sparkling eyes gleaming with excitement.
“No rush, almost there.”
Zuo Feng gently stroked Xiao Mi Tao's hair.
Based on the trajectory, he deduced that the white shadow’s lair must not be far from the villa.
Now, they just had to wait for the white shadow and Kong Ling to stop.
Then, they could go—zombie hunting!
“Feng Ge, how are we going to deal with the zombie?”
Xiao Mi Tao looked up and asked, her eyes full of curiosity.
Zuo Feng smiled slightly, a hint of amusement in his eyes:
“First, we find her, then I’ll test her strength.
She seems very afraid of the lotus seeds, so I should be quite safe against her.
As for anything else, we’ll discuss it after we determine her abilities….”
Time slowly passed, and night deepened.
The white shadow and Kong Ling chased and fled for nearly an hour.
Then, Zuo Feng’s expression changed slightly, and he murmured:
“She stopped! She’s in the northeast direction, about five kilometers from the villa.”
Zuo Feng quickly got up, his eyes barely concealing his excitement, and instructed the women:
“Grab your gear, let’s go!”
On the road illuminated by the blood-red moonlight, three SUV off-road vehicles sped off like arrows from a bow.
The three-kilometer distance was covered in less than ten minutes, and they reached their destination.
The remaining two kilometers were impassable by vehicle, so Zuo Feng and his group got out and looked at the forest ahead.
Zuo Feng thought to himself, “Deep mountains and old forests breed strangeness.
Perhaps that white shadow really is a thousand-year-old corpse transformed into a zombie.”
The forest was silent, accompanied only by the chirping of insects and the rustling of wind.
“It’s night now, everyone be careful and stick close!
Don’t fall behind!”
Zuo Feng held a powerful flashlight, cautiously scanning his surroundings.
The women followed closely, their heartbeats sounding exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
After an entire half-hour of trekking through the forest, they finally stopped in front of a hidden cave.
“Kong Ling is inside the cave!”
Zuo Feng's tone was serious.
The cave was clearly newly dug, with fresh soil and vegetation scattered around the entrance, and a faint smell of decay lingered in the air.
He guessed that the white shadow was an ancient corpse that had mutated into a zombie after the apocalypse, crawled out from underground, and dug this cave.
The narrow entrance allowed only one person to pass at a time.
Zuo Feng entered first, his flashlight beam piercing the darkness and illuminating the depths of the cave.
The women followed closely, holding their breath.
Inside, it was cold and damp.
After several tens of meters along the cave, the space suddenly opened up, revealing a naturally formed underground hall with moss covering the surrounding rock walls.
A huge stone coffin stood prominently in the center, its lid flung aside.
Clearly, the white shadow had crawled out of this stone coffin.
Scattered around the stone coffin were a few burial objects, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
The cave was now in disarray, with broken pottery shards and withered bones scattered on the ground.
Crushed stones flew, deep claw marks remained on the rock walls, cracks spread to the ceiling, and the soil on the ground was churned up, with clear traces of Space Shield impacts.
Clearly, Kong Ling had engaged in a fierce battle with the white shadow here.
A strong, fishy odor still lingered in the air, causing the women to instinctively cover their mouths and noses.
Zuo Feng frowned, carefully observing the traces around him.
Suddenly, his gaze fixed on Kong Ling’s figure in the corner.
She was curled up on the ground, her clothes tattered, her fair skin covered in dirt, and traces of blood, like liquid diamonds, hung from the corners of her mouth.
As if sensing Zuo Feng’s arrival, Kong Ling’s brilliant diamond eyes turned towards Zuo Feng, her body trembling slightly, seemingly trying desperately to get up, but lacking the strength…
“Ah!
Kong Ling, don’t move!
Xiao Nan Ren, Kong Ling is hurt!
How is she?”
Da Bai Tu saw the fallen Kong Ling and her eyes instantly reddened.
She rushed forward, knelt beside Kong Ling, and with trembling hands, tenderly stroked her cheek.
The other women also gathered around.
“Kong Ling is fine, just lightly injured.”
Zuo Feng sensed her condition and found that Kong Ling was only lightly injured, which finally allowed his worried heart to relax a little.
“But Kong Ling can’t even move!”
A hint of anxiety flashed in Da Bai Tu’s eyes.
From the moment Zuo Feng subdued Kong Ling, Da Bai Tu had been the one to guide and nurture her.
Da Bai Tu had long regarded Kong Ling as family.
If anything happened to Kong Ling, Da Bai Tu would be heartbroken.
“Kong Ling is just exhausted; she needs rest to recover.”
Zuo Feng gently reassured her, but a trace of surprise remained in his eyes.
Firstly, he was surprised that even zombies could run out of stamina, and even mutated species were no exception.
Secondly, he was surprised that the white shadow’s strength far exceeded expectations, capable of battling Kong Ling to such an extent.
His gaze swept around again, and soon, Zuo Feng’s eyes locked onto another corner.
The white shadow, whom Kong Ling had been chasing, was now lying on her back in the corner, her antique white robe already tattered, revealing mottled, pale skin.
Scratch marks were clearly visible, bloodstained, and her aura was weak; she was clearly exhausted.
What surprised Zuo Feng most was that the white shadow’s blood was pure white, like flowing jade fat, emitting a faint luminescence.
“Be on guard!
I’ll try to subdue her!”
Zuo Feng instantly summoned his Space Shield, empowered by Metallic Skin, and cautiously approached the white shadow.
“Tiegada, hold her down!”
As Zuo Feng drew near the white shadow, she suddenly opened her eyes, a fierce glint flashing within them, and struggled to get up.
But it was clear her stamina was depleted, and her struggles were weak.
Tiegada, having received the command, instantly transformed into a black shadow, swiftly pouncing on the white shadow, its heavy body firmly pinning her down, rendering her unable to move.
The white shadow, already exhausted and then suppressed by Tiegada, naturally couldn’t resist and could only allow Zuo Feng to subdue her.
Zuo Feng quickly summoned the purple lotus, and a lotus seed slowly drifted down, shimmering with purple light, gently touching the white shadow’s forehead, and instantly merging into her body.
Seeing this, Zuo Feng’s lips curved into a smile.
It was done!
It looked easy and relaxed, but Zuo Feng knew that if Kong Ling and the white shadow hadn’t fought to a mutual defeat, both exhausted, he would never have had such an easy opportunity.
The white shadow’s strength was beyond doubt; to be able to fight Kong Ling to a draw… that strength was terrifying.
“Ah!
Feng Ge, you’re amazing!
You’ve subdued another one!”
Xiao Mi Tao jumped up excitedly and immediately pounced on the white shadow.
During Zuo Feng’s process of subduing the white shadow, the clever and quick-witted Xiao Mi Tao found five pure white Pigeon eggs in the stone coffin!
Now she was even more curious whether the white shadow was a mutated zombie or an ancient corpse transformed into a zombie!
Xiao Mi Tao wasn't afraid of the white shadow, who had been subdued by her Feng Ge.
Any zombie or ghoul subdued by Feng Ge would obey her.
“Search around, see if there’s anything else.”
Zuo Feng shook his head, letting Xiao Mi Tao examine the white shadow; he then spoke to the other women.
The other women quickly dispersed, meticulously searching every corner, but ultimately found nothing useful.
Presumably, the most valuable things in the cave were this white shadow and the five white Pigeon eggs that Xiao Mi Tao had hidden.
