In the apocalypse, you start with two knives, and all your equipment depends on drops.

Chapter 221 Cloud Ascension Team

In an abandoned small county town near the province of San Chong.

Holding a peach wood sword, Nan Gu stared intently and resolutely at the four-clawed zombie not far away, which would rise again and chase after him no matter how many times he knocked it away.

Fresh blood slowly dripped from his mouth.

His silver, tousled hair danced wildly in the wind, giving him an inexplicable sense of desolation.

This is the last fusion zombie in the vicinity, and also the most troublesome one.

Nan Gu pursed his lips, took out a yellow talisman covered with vermilion runes, held it between his index and middle fingers, and muttered incantations.

As he recited the incantation, the yellow talisman suddenly burst into flames, transforming into a sea of ​​fire as he threw it.

They surrounded the four-clawed zombie.

Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was trapped, he picked up the peach wood sword and rushed over at top speed.

And in the instant the four-clawed zombie escaped the sea of ​​fire, it slashed heavily at it.

As the disgusting, grotesque head rolled off, the fused zombie's movements abruptly ceased.

Nan Gu paused slightly, having just straightened up while gripping his sword.

Instead of falling down, the headless zombie unexpectedly grew another head!

Nan Gu's light brown pupils narrowed slightly, and as his wisps of hair fluttered, a zombie claw covered in rotting flesh reached out in front of him.

Nan Gu hurriedly dodged backward, and several strands of his flowing silver hair were neatly severed by the zombie's sharp claws.

Nan Gu didn't care about any of that. He frantically formed hand seals with his right hand, and bright golden light condensed from his fingertips.

At the same time, a water arrow crackling with lightning suddenly appeared from behind the fused zombie.

They pierced his skull from back to front.

The spurting black blood landed on Nan Gu's fair face, causing him to be stunned for a moment.

He immediately withdrew the golden light, looked up, and saw that several women had appeared not far away at some point.

They were dressed in neat black clothes, with short, flowing hair and bright eyes.

As the zombie in front of him slowly collapsed, Nan Gu finally came to his senses and quickly thanked the others.

"This humble Taoist priest, Nan Gu, thanks you all for saving my life."

The woman who led the group of women had delicate features, but she had a pair of exceptionally striking eyes.

She smiled and said loudly, "No need to be polite. In the face of the apocalypse, humanity should help each other. Besides, you will be fine even without us."

They only noticed the golden light at Nan Gu's fingertips after they had already made their move.

Clearly, they have plenty of backup plans.

Nan Gu smiled slightly, "No matter what, you helped me. So, can you tell me your names? Exchanging names can be considered as forming a good relationship."

The woman smiled gently and said, "We are the Dengyun Team from Wolf City. My name is He Huan."

Nan Gu raised an eyebrow.

"Dengyun Team, I've long admired you."

Recently, a female all-female team has gained fame in the northern region, even stronger than Cen Yuemian's Thorn Team in Kyoto.

All members are advanced superhumans, ruthless in their attacks, and aggressive in their fighting style, yet they cooperate seamlessly.

The task completion rate is as high as 95%.

Having traveled all over the country, it's impossible that Nan Gu hadn't heard of the Dengyun team.

He Huan nodded to him, then gestured to Nie Ting and the others behind him, and with a few leaps, he was out of Nan Gu's sight.

Nan Gu clicked his tongue in admiration a few times, bowed steadily in the direction where He Huan and the others had left, and then dug out the crystal core that had fused with the zombie.

Holding the crystal core, he glanced again in the direction He Huan and the others had left, then gently shook his head, turned around, and walked away in another direction.

......

Yu Yao and her friends met Nan Gu in an abandoned park.

He didn't know what happened, but he ended up being one of Yu Yao and the others' mission targets.

A fusion zombie with two heads and three arms was locked in battle, fighting fiercely and evenly.

In order not to waste their experience, Yu Yao and the others quickly rushed up and ganged up on him.

Instead, it caught Nan Gu off guard.

He blinked, looking at his hands and the few people who had suddenly appeared.

Ok?

What happened? They were fighting! The opponent's gone?

Only after Yu Yao severed both of the zombie's heads with a single stroke did Nan Gu whistle and clap his hands.

"Impressive! As expected of someone with great fortune, your strength has improved by leaps and bounds!"

Yu Yao sheathed her knife and chuckled softly.

"I also want to thank you for your help earlier."

Nan Gu stopped. "You're too kind. If you really want to thank me, could you lend me a few of your talismans to study?"

Yu Yao raised an eyebrow, "No problem, I'll give you a 30% discount!"

"Ok?"

Seeing his stunned expression for a moment, Yu Yao couldn't help but laugh. "We can exchange them, I'm interested in your talismans too."

"no problem!"

Nan Gu responded immediately and bent down to take out the already drawn yellow talisman from the small bag he was carrying.

Thanks to Wen Zhiyi's inherited memories, Yu Yao was actually able to understand some of it.

However, it is clear that some runes are much simpler than those from ancient times, and their effectiveness has been somewhat reduced.

Fortunately, it also has some research value.

After all, the talisman artist was highly skilled, and the talismans he drew were exquisite and mysterious. Upon closer inspection, they could even be considered beautiful!

interesting!

Yu Yao put it away with satisfaction, and then gave him a whole bunch of the talismans she had made.

Nan Gu casually sat down on the ground and immediately began studying the talismans, ignoring the surrounding environment.

They didn't care that dozens of fused zombies were approaching from not far away.

Chi Heng glanced at Dongfang Jin.

He immediately understood and led Qi Xian, Luo Mei, and the others to disperse and clear out the zombies.
