Thomson also sensed that something was wrong.

He quietly activated his eye of insight.

[Fire demon (stage 1).]

[Strength: 50 + 45 (enhanced by elemental power, 15 points for ordinary zombies).]

[Agility: 20 (13 points for ordinary zombies).]

[Vitality: 70 (20 points for ordinary zombies).]

[Spirit: 12 (none for ordinary zombies).]

[Superpower: none.

[Elemental points: 45.]

[Ability: indestructible before the brain tissue is completely destroyed.]

[Ability: fire invasion – due to the large amount of fire elements in their bodies, they are in the carbonization stage and possess extremely high heat. Anyone who touches them will be quickly burned.]

[Ability: heavy as a rock – their mass will be greatly increased due to changes in their body structure, thus enhancing their attack power and constitution.]

…

It was a phase one zombie!

No wonder it would not move!

He did not quite understand what these code names mean, though.

However, from their properties, he could vaguely make out what they mean.

Whether it was their abilities or attributes, they were more than twice as strong as the zombies he had encountered before.

In other words, these zombies were not much weaker than Taylor.

Perhaps because of the unique abilities of zombies, they were slightly stronger than Taylor.

Thomson had used all his strength to beat Taylor, let alone three?

“Get on the carpet.”

Thomson took a step back.

Nina also reacted quickly. She picked up the girl and turned around to run.

She was stronger than a normal man, so it was not a problem for her to carry a girl who weighed more than 100 pounds.

Thomson used the last bit of wind energy and followed closely behind.

The strong wind only restrained the three zombies for less than five seconds before it gradually dissipated.

However, this was enough for them to evacuate. Thomson used his psychic power to push the speed of the flying carpet to the maximum.

He quickly shook off the zombies, leaving them to howl in confusion.

“Cough… Cough… Cough…”

The girl in Nina’s arms coughed a few times. Only then did they realize that she had fallen into a coma.

Nina knew some basic medical knowledge. After a simple check, she found that her feet had been infected and ulcerated, causing the girl to have a high fever.

“She needs antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.” Nina looked at Thomson.

“Let’s find a place to settle her first.”

Thomson looked at the gradually darkening sky. It seemed that only the dilapidated building from before could shelter them from the wind and rain.

Not long after, they arrived at their destination.

This was originally a factory. After an explosion at the fuel processing station, this place was implicated and caused a chain of explosions.

The fire had destroyed most of the place. Only a small portion of the rooms survived but there were no signs of survivors.

It was very spacious inside. Thomson used his eye of insight to investigate the specific situation and found many zombies.

He did not act rashly for the time being. The girl’s wounds could not be dragged on any longer. He rode the flying carpet to the roof of a building.

He brought some medicine in the military base and a lot of sterile gauze, so they did not have to run around to look for them.

When heavy rain fell at night, the girl finally woke up.

“Where… Where am i…”

Her blue eyes were confused. When she saw Thomson and Nina, she suddenly realized. “Did you save me?”

“My master saved you.” Nina never took credit for anything.

“Master?” The girl followed Nina’s instructions and looked at the man in the shadow.

“Nina likes to be naughty, don’t mind her.”

Thomson smiled at her and asked, “How did you meet those things?”

“Those things…”

The girl seemed to be in a trance. Soon, her pupils contracted as if she remembered something. Her eyes were full of pain. “I… I didn’t want to… I don’t know…”

“Don’t worry, take your time.”

Nina hurriedly patted her back.

The girl still repeated that sentence as if she had fallen into a terrible nightmare.

Thomson and Nina exchanged a look and said, “I’m going out for a walk.”

“Yes, I’ll persuade her.”

Thomson nodded and walked out in the rain.

Getting caught in the rain was a small problem for him. He would probably never get a cold again in his life.

However, he still felt a little cold. Thomson held a fire magic crystal in his hand and used it to keep warm while illuminating himself. Then, he flew downstairs.

The zombies seemed to be a little dispirited.

On such a rainy day, all the zombies stood still. They did not even let out their unique low growls.

Thomson could not help but be curious. He used his eye of insight to investigate.

As expected, there was an additional effect in their attribute panel.

[Elemental invasion: due to the large amount of water elements restricting the activity of fire elements, the unit’s attributes have been reduced by 80% and it cannot be moved for the time being.]

Seeing this, Thomson immediately understood.

The elements were mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. For example, when fire met wind, the fire element would be more active and once it met water, it would be greatly weakened.

These elemental mutated zombies would surely have weaknesses. As long as he could grasp their weaknesses, it would not be difficult for him to kill them.

He did as he thought.

Thomson struck while the iron was hot and rushed to the place where the three fire demon zombies were.

As expected, these zombies were like the mutated zombies. They were attacked by the water element, causing their attributes to drop.

However, they had only dropped by 50%.

However, this was enough for Thomson to crush them.

Just as he killed a fire demon, the system’s notification suddenly sounded.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations to the host for successfully killing the zombies in the first stage. You have received an additional reward – Quench Blade.”

[Quench Blade: a blade that has been quenched by fire. It has a more powerful lethality than a normal blade.]

The system was really thoughtful.

With a weapon, Thomson was even more unstoppable.

Ten minutes later, Thomson had three more refined and larger crystals in his hands.

Thomson glanced at them. They were all good things that could increase the energy of fire element by fifteen points after absorption. He directly stored them into the system space.

After he was done with the matter, when he went back, Nina had taken care of the girl.

She was a little emotional and she threw herself into Thomson’s arms.

“Master, please… Please hurry… woo…”

Thomson patted her back gently. “Don’t rush, take your time.”
