Chapter 258 The Abandoned Cannon Fodder Beauty in the Apocalypse (47)
Just then, a figure rushed over like lightning.
A pair of delicate, fair hands grabbed Bai Nuannuan's arm, pulled her back, and held her protectively in their arms.
Bai Nuannuan looked up and saw the perfect curve of his jawline, and her breath caught in her throat.
With bright, sparkling eyes, she called out, "Chu Mo!"
Shen Chumo glanced down at Bai Nuannuan quickly to make sure she wasn't hurt, then pushed her back into the crowd.
Then she flipped her hand and took out a banner. The banner looked old and simple, but it exuded a mysterious aura. The runes embroidered on it were faintly visible in the dim light, as if telling a story of ancient and mysterious power.
This is a high-end item that Shen Chumo redeemed in the mall.
Lin Yu looked at the banner and felt a strange unease. This thing looked extraordinary, and the aura it emitted made him feel somewhat oppressed.
He wondered to himself, just how many tricks does Shen Chumo still have up her sleeve?
He immediately gave orders to the zombie horde.
"Go, all of you, get up there! Except for Bai Nuannuan, tear everyone else to shreds!"
The zombie horde received the command, their roars growing louder as they surged madly toward Shen Chumo and the others.
Lin Yu had only intended to force Shen Chumo out so that the zombie horde would scare them, which is why the zombie horde moved very slowly.
Now, with Lin Yu's order, the zombie horde moved even faster and attacked more fiercely, as if it wanted to crush and devour everything in its path in an instant.
But Shen Chumo's expression remained unchanged, his eyes focused and firm, his hands swiftly waving the banners while he chanted incantations.
"Heaven and earth are dark and yellow, Qian and Kun borrow the law, the array rises with killing light, shattering all illusions. All evils retreat, all malevolent spirits perish, spiritual energy gathers, slaying all directions. With the heart as the guide, with thoughts as the reins, the array spirit obeys the command, slaying the ominous!"
The banners drew mysterious trajectories in the air, and with her movements, the surrounding air seemed to undergo subtle changes.
Shen Chumo quickened the pace of waving the banners, and the runes on the banners shone brighter and brighter, illuminating the dim space around them.
Suddenly, she slammed the banner into the ground, and a soft light spread out from the bottom of the banner like ripples on water, rapidly spreading in all directions.
Wherever the light touched, faint lines appeared on the ground. These lines intertwined and gradually formed a complex and mysterious pattern, as if an ancient formation had been activated.
At the same time, as the zombie horde approached the area shrouded in light, it seemed to be hindered by some powerful force, and its movements became sluggish.
They struggled wildly, trying to break through this invisible barrier, but they could not move forward an inch, as if they were tightly bound by an invisible force.
The zombies that touched the light were immediately burned by it, letting out painful howls as their rotting flesh began to smoke and emit an even more pungent odor.
It turns out that Shen Chumo never intended to lure Lin Yu to the place of the explosion in the first place.
Lin Yu is such a suspicious person. He kidnapped Su Yao and the others to lure them out. How could he possibly leave these hostages here without making use of them?
Shen Chumo orchestrated this explosion merely as a diversionary tactic.
This includes Bai Nuannuan deliberately arguing with Lin Yu in order to attract Lin Yu's attention.
This would buy time for Shen Chumo, Ying Chu, and the others to set up an array within the area.
Ying Chu, Lin Haoran, Zhou Sinian, Wu Chong, and Feng Qiru are each guarding a corner of the formation. As long as Shen Chumo completes the formation eye, the Demon-Slaying Formation will be fully activated.
"How is that possible...?"
Lin Yu stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the scene before him.
What on earth is this thing that can trap so many zombies at the same time and cause them so much damage?
Lin Yu stared at Shen Chumo, his eyes filled with wariness. For the first time since gaining consciousness, he felt a sense of crisis; this woman might be the biggest obstacle in his plans.
If we don't kill her, there will be endless trouble in the future.
The bearded man and his group stood in the very center, watching the horde of zombies being kept out, and felt a sense of relief.
"Miss Shen, you are truly amazing!"
The bearded man exclaimed sincerely, his face full of relief at surviving the ordeal.
Everyone looked at Shen Chumo, and saw that she stood upright like a pine tree. Although her face was slightly pale, she could not hide the extraordinary temperament that emanated from her bones.
The banners on the ground were now flashing with light, and the runes seemed to be alive, moving and leaping, emitting a terrifying pressure that made the surrounding air tremble.
In the crowd, Su Yao was pale, her body was still trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of fear and regret.
It's over, it's all over now. If she had known Shen Chumo would come to save them, she wouldn't have done anything.
After Bai Nuannuan calmed down, she glanced coldly at Su Yao. She usually had a good temper, but when she met someone like Su Yao, even she couldn't help but feel angry.
Su Yao avoided eye contact and shrank behind Li Che.
Li Che swallowed hard and quickly dodged away. He wasn't stupid; Su Yao had done so many hateful things, and he didn't want to get involved at this time.
Moreover, seeing how capable Shen Chumo has become, Li Che couldn't help but feel resentful about Su Yao seducing him back then. If it weren't for Su Yao, Shen Chumo would still be his girlfriend.
How could he have been so foolish as to fall for Su Yao's trick?
Thinking of this, Li Che felt even more disgusted with Su Yao.
Su Yao clung tightly to Li Che's arm, as if grasping at the last straw.
"Ah Che, where are you going?"
Li Che's face was full of impatience; he forcefully shook off Su Yao's hand.
"Do not touch me."
“Ah Che…” Su Yao looked at Li Che in disbelief.
At this moment, Bai Nuannuan walked over, and without saying a word, directly slapped Su Yao twice across the face.
"These two slaps are what you deserve for trying to harm me." Bai Nuannuan's eyes were icy. "You'd better behave yourself from now on, we'll all be watching you."
Su Yao lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word.
Bai Nuannuan had also considered simply pushing Su Yao out to feed the zombies, but she was not the kind of ruthless person. If she did that, what difference would there be between her and Su Yao?
Of course, Bai Nuannuan wouldn't let Su Yao off so easily, but the situation is different now; the biggest crisis hasn't been resolved yet.
Lin Yu is still eyeing them covetously, so Su Yao's matter can only be dealt with later.
As Lin Yu watched his horde of zombies die one after another in the formation set up by Shen Chumo, the anger in his heart was about to burst out of his chest.
Shen Chumo wasn't as relaxed as she appeared. Although the Demon-Slaying Array was powerful, maintaining it consumed a great deal of her spiritual energy.
