Watching Jiang Hao walk towards the zombies, Jiang Tian and the other two quickly found a hidden spot where they could see the entire area and hid.
As Jiang Hao approached, the zombie horde naturally discovered him.
However, before the Level Seven zombie gave an order, none of the zombies moved recklessly.
“Quite disciplined!”
Jiang Hao chuckled, thinking a bit more highly of that Level Seven zombie.
The leading zombie quickly noticed him as well, and through the layers of the horde, its intuition told it that this human would be very difficult to deal with.
However, with its incomplete sentience, it wasn't afraid; it had over a thousand subordinates, after all.
“Roar!”
The Level Seven zombie roared at Jiang Hao, and instantly, hundreds of zombies charged towards Jiang Hao.
“Heh heh, you don’t dare to go yourself, so you send your underlings to their deaths?”
Jiang Hao chuckled, and with a raise of his hand, a Spiritual Pressure belonging to the eighth layer of Qi Refining covered the entire area.
All the zombies and humans were pressed to the ground, unable to move.
The Level Seven zombie also knelt halfway, trembling all over, trying to stand up, but after several attempts, it couldn't succeed.
Jiang Hao ignored the zombies lying all over the ground and walked directly in front of the Level Seven zombie.
“Your ability is quite good, I’ll take it!”
As his voice fell, Jiang Hao pointed his fingers like a sword, and a sword light flashed, severing the Level Seven zombie’s head, which fell to the ground.
Then another sword light split it into two halves.
Two crystals, one grey and one white, fell out.
Jiang Hao collected them, then looked at the zombies across the field.
“Those three kids are still progressing too slowly, I’ll help them out again!”
“Sword Array!”
Countless illusory light swords condensed in the air.
“Slay!”
Jiang Hao let out another soft cry.
The dense light swords instantly descended.
Each light sword precisely pierced the head of a zombie.
No zombie, whether Level One or Level Three, was spared.
Feeling ninety percent of his Spiritual Qi drained, Jiang Hao shook his head helplessly; showing off still required caution.
He then waved to Jiang Tian and the other two who were hiding.
“Come over and dig for crystals!”
Afterward, Jiang Hao withdrew his Spiritual Pressure.
Spiritual Pressure also consumed a lot of Spiritual Qi, though it was indeed cool.
As the Spiritual Pressure dissipated, the hundreds of survivors slowly and tremblingly stood up.
Their gazes towards Jiang Hao were like looking at a deity.
The horde of zombies that had made them despair was instantly dealt with by Jiang Hao.
Among them, some naturally recognized him, but seeing the surrounding scene, they dared not speak for a moment.
Hundreds of people just stood there dumbfounded, not daring to have the slightest improper thought about the crystals that could elevate them to heaven in one step.
Jiang Tian and the other two also ran over at this time, but instead of digging for crystals immediately, they looked at Jiang Hao with faces full of admiration.
“Brother Hao, you were so cool, my brother, so cool!”
The burly Jiang Tian hugged his arm, transforming into a little fanboy.
“Alright, alright, hurry up and dig out the crystals, then let’s go!”
Jiang Hao patted his hand away and shook his head, saying.
“Okay, brother, you’re so right, brother, so right!”
The three of them started digging for crystals, bouncing happily.
Over a thousand zombies, that would keep them busy.
Watching them, Jiang Hao shook his head with a wry smile; perhaps that's how they should be at their age.
“Jiang… Jiang Hao?”
A female voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
Jiang Hao followed the sound and saw a slightly disheveled girl standing timidly in the crowd.
“Su Yao?”
Although a bit disheveled, her elegant demeanor was still evident; even in the apocalypse, it couldn't tarnish her.
Su Yao, Jiang Hao’s class monitor, came from a noble background but had no airs about her.
She was very kind to all her classmates.
No one in the entire class had anything bad to say about her.
And Jiang Hao recognized the few girls standing beside her; they were all from his class.
He hadn't expected so many classmates to survive, given the survival rate of less than ten percent.
Confirming she wasn’t mistaken, Su Yao quickly brought her sisters over.
“Are you really Jiang Hao? How did you become so strong?”
Before Su Yao could speak, another girl asked.
Han Yan, a super academic, whose grades consistently topped the entire grade.
She was also nice, petite and delicate, but her prominent features were quite outstanding; well, at least C-cup.
She had always been Jiang Tian’s secret crush.
“What, haven’t seen me for a few days, can’t recognize me?”
Jiang Hao asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Han Yan quickly waved her hands and said, “No, no, it’s just, how did you suddenly become so powerful? You solved so many zombies in an instant?”
“Heh heh, the apocalypse is a disaster, but also an opportunity for some people. I was quite lucky, and Jiang Tian is also very fierce!”
Jiang Hao nudged his chin towards Jiang Tian, who was digging for crystals.
Han Yan looked over and saw Jiang Tian smashing one zombie after another with his stick, like smashing watermelons.
Headshots, digging crystals, a series of fluid movements.
Han Yan nodded blankly: “Yes… yes, Jiang Tian is also amazing!”
“Haha, interested in getting to know Xiao Tian?”
Jiang Hao asked with a smile.
“Ah? This… this is too sudden!”
Han Yan’s face instantly flushed red.
“Haha, I won’t force anyone, but it’s the apocalypse now, and staying with the strong is the only way to survive!”
Jiang Hao said seriously.
He genuinely wanted to bring these two together. Before the apocalypse, Jiang Tian would definitely have no chance on his own, but this apocalypse actually helped him.
It gave him a great opportunity; if it really worked out, his three years of bitter secret crush wouldn't be in vain.
Besides Jiang Hao, Jiang Tian was definitely the strongest person in the entire school.
“Follow the strong? Can we follow you guys?”
Su Yao asked nervously.
With their intelligence, how could they not know that in this apocalypse, staying with the strong would definitely increase their chances of survival compared to fighting alone?
This was also why they wanted to join Xiao Chen’s team.
But now, it seemed Jiang Hao and his group were the true strong ones.
“Follow us? Do you dare to kill zombies?”
If it were just Han Yan alone, to bring Jiang Tian and her together, he would have taken her along.
But to take five burdens at once, he was still unwilling.
Even if all five of them were quite pretty.
But in the apocalypse, beauty was useless; strength was king.
“Dare!”
Han Yan nodded decisively.
“Then you guys go help Xiao Tian and them dig for crystals first, I’ll consider it!”
Jiang Hao didn’t directly agree; he wasn’t the type to be swayed by beauty and immediately pull them to his side.
“Okay!”
Su Yao nodded heavily, then followed Jiang Tian and the other two with her sisters.
They were doing the headshots in front, and the five girls were digging for crystals behind them.
Covered in blood, they didn't utter a single sound.
Jiang Hao nodded, looking at them with higher regard.
He then said to the hundreds of people still standing dumbfounded: “You can leave now. Oh, and tell Xiao Chen when you go back, if he doesn’t want to die, don’t bother us!”
Jiang Hao waved his hand, too lazy to deal with them anymore.
A bunch of rabble, and they were strangers to each other; it was already rare for him to save them once, even if it was a convenient side-task for the crystals.
