Suddenly, the space between them was filled only with swirling white ice crystals, and the howling wind roared in their ears like the furious cries of demons from the depths of hell, each sound striking deep into their hearts.
Lin Yi and the others steadied themselves, but their collars flapped wildly in the gusts. If ordinary people were caught in this violent snowstorm, they would be unable to stand.
The already damaged vehicles began to shift across the ground, moving with the direction of the storm, producing creaking sounds reminiscent of old Dutch windmills, as if they might fall apart at any moment.
In the next moment, the swirling ice crystals suddenly contracted. The white substance that had covered the ground rapidly shrank, enveloping the approaching Zombies.
The snowstorm came quickly and left just as fast. In the blink of an eye, all the ice crystals had frozen onto the Zombies, transforming them into white Ice Sculptures. Although they maintained their forms—some with mouths open in a roar and others in mid-run—they were eerily immobile.
"Quick... break them..." Renesmee's face flushed suddenly, and before she could finish her sentence, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Lin Yi was closest to Renesmee. As soon as she spat out blood, he dashed to her side. Just as he arrived, Renesmee's eyes rolled back, and she collapsed. Lin Yi reacted swiftly, catching her as she fell. Her body felt fragile in his arms, and a fragrant breeze wafted from her nostrils.
"Renesmee!"
"Ice Sister!" Both Lin Yi and Nicolas shouted simultaneously. At that moment, Renesmee's complexion had turned pale as a blank sheet of paper; her breath was faint, flickering like a flame that could extinguish at any moment.
"It's okay, Nicolas. Take the vial back; I have medicine prepared there to replenish my lost vitality," Renesmee murmured as she regained consciousness in Lin Yi's embrace. However, she lacked the strength to argue further.
"Lin Steward, this is not the time for that!" Beatrice appeared beside Renesmee, her expression grave.
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment before awkwardly handing Renesmee over to Nicolas. In the next instant, they transformed into shadows and rushed toward nearly ten thousand frozen Zombies.
"Go!" Lin Yi no longer hesitated; he shouted and directed Silver Soul toward a specific target.
With a series of crashing sounds echoing through the air, wherever Silver Soul passed, frozen Zombies shattered into piles of ice fragments. Most of these fragments were blackened, with what appeared to be tiny creatures wriggling within them.
Silver Soul moved like lightning; in an instant, Lin Yi had eliminated over a thousand Zombies. Compared to his earlier killing speed, this was significantly faster. Beatrice matched Lin Yi's pace; with each punch he threw, Ice Corpses exploded into pieces around him. Old Black and Jian also increased their killing speed since they no longer needed to defend themselves; within just a few minutes, they had destroyed nearly a thousand Ice Corpses together.
Suddenly, a series of grating squeaks pierced through the air. Lin Yi's ears perked up as a foul wind surged toward him from behind.
Instinctively reacting, Lin Yi ducked low and grabbed an Ice Corpse to block the attack coming from behind him.
With a loud crash, the Ice Corpse shattered instantly in his hands. This brief moment of resistance bought him some time to breathe; he pushed off the ground and slid several meters away.
At that moment, Lin Yi finally saw clearly that the one attacking him was a dark Giant Zombie, holding a silver iron rod instead of the black one he had encountered many times before. Lin Yi's eyelids twitched; the weapons in the hands of these Zombies were becoming increasingly sophisticated, which was not a good sign for him.
"Roar!" The Giant Zombie swung its weapon but missed, showing no hesitation as it lifted the cherry blossom-colored iron rod and swung it directly at Lin Yi. As it moved, the white ice crystals covering its body began to fall away.
Lin Yi understood that for a Giant Zombie with combat power exceeding Five-Star, Renesmee's Frozen Domain had little effect on them. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind; he decided not to confront the Giant Zombie head-on.
With a whoosh, Lin Yi darted in front of an ordinary Ice Corpse just as the iron rod came whistling through the air. Remarkably, Lin Yi acted as if he hadn't seen it at all, barely dodging out of the way. The next moment, just as the iron rod was about to smash into Lin Yi's head, he vanished entirely.
With a loud crash of shattering ice crystals, after Lin Yi disappeared, the iron rod struck the Ice Corpse directly, reducing it to a pile of debris. The shards flew outwards with tremendous force, shattering several nearby Ice Corpses as well.
Taking advantage of his superior speed over the Giant Zombie, Lin Yi continued to lure it into "accidentally" smashing Ice Corpses. After a minute of this tactic, the now-intelligent Giant Zombie was thoroughly enraged. Seizing the opportunity when it raised its rod and sent ice crystals flying into the air, Lin Yi transformed into a blur and dashed behind the Giant Zombie, swiftly severing its head with a single strike.
After this intense battle, all that remained in their wake were piles of ice shards and flesh. In a radius of several hundred meters, not a single standing Ice Corpse could be seen.
Meanwhile, Beatrice and her group had already eliminated thousands of Ice Corpses. They had managed to destroy over ten thousand Zombies in less than half the expected time. However, new Zombies were closing in, and their numbers were even greater. These Zombies had initially retreated upon witnessing Renesmee's terrifying abilities under the control of Intelligent Zombies. Now that the fearsome power had dissipated, they naturally returned.
"Quickly! Everyone retreat to safety!" Beatrice shouted after receiving word from those left behind that everyone had crossed the Ice Bridge and moved to the isolated peak.
"Boss! Come back quickly!" At that moment, Lin Yi heard Witerson II's voice in his ear.
Lin Yi called out and ran towards the winding mountain road with Jian. When they reached the intersection, Lin Yi noticed a car in an area not illuminated by streetlights; it was the Golden Sports Car that had just sought their help. The Blue-Eyed Man inside was staring intently at him.
"Get moving! The Zombies are coming!" Lin Yi frowned; this person was incredibly reckless to be waiting here in such danger.
In the next instant, Lin Yi's eyes widened in shock as he saw the Blue-Eyed Man step out of the car without even opening the door!
Ignoring physical barriers? Lin Yi's mind raced; whether it was Woods' Shadow Brothers or Ouyang Shasha's Invisibility Ability, it was impossible to simply pass through physical objects like that. Yet this individual clearly defied Lin Yi's understanding; that car door posed no hindrance to him.
"Ah— I got so nervous I forgot about that," said the Blue-Eyed Man sheepishly as he scratched his head like a child who had made a mistake.
"Who are you?" Lin Yi thought carefully about anyone possessing abilities; he couldn't help but be cautious.
"Oh me? I'm Charlie, a member of royalty!" The young man tilted his chin slightly with a warm smile that didn't suggest he was particularly scheming.
"A member of royalty?" Lin Yi frowned; many royal family members in this era had become mere symbols. Those who once held significant power had gradually faded from public view. And now this young man who had just escaped from Zombies seemed more like a down-and-out royal descendant than anything else.
"Don't believe me? I am a descendant of Charlemagne!" The young man's face suddenly flushed, and he looked embarrassed.
"Alright, let's go!" Lin Yi didn't care whether this person was truly a member of royalty; escaping was the priority. Realizing that this young man named Charlie was no different from an ordinary person aside from his ability to penetrate, Lin Yi grabbed him and sprinted toward the mountain peak. Along the way, this self-proclaimed royal was screaming in fright, which nearly drove Lin Yi to throw him off.
Moments later, Lin Yi and the others reached the summit. Aside from a scattering of abandoned vehicles, only Witerson II and a member of the Golden Mercenary Corps were waiting at one end of the Ice Bridge.
"Boss, how's it going?" Witerson II asked with concern as he approached. Just moments ago, Nicolas had hurried back with Renesmee, and everyone had seen that Renesmee was gravely injured.
"We eliminated fifteen thousand Zombies, but that's just the beginning." Lin Yi's voice was laced with fatigue. Although his combat power had reached level seven, he was still exhausted after unleashing his full strength.
Seeing Lin Yi's poor complexion and the presence of a young man beside him, Witerson II wanted to ask something but held back as they all crossed the Ice Bridge together.
As soon as they crossed the bridge, Lin Yi controlled Silver Soul to completely destroy the Ice Bridge. However, he remained worried and, despite his fatigue, instructed Pachy to set up defenses. Their ammunition was limited; at most, they had some Laser Guns that could last for a while. But Lin Yi knew that with Intelligent Zombies around, they couldn't hold out for long.
"Captain Lin, right? Give me a communicator; I left mine in the car!" Charlie followed closely behind Lin Yi and assumed that being called Captain meant he was in charge.
"What do you want?" Lin Yi was somewhat perplexed by this young man.
"When a royal member encounters danger, of course I need to call for help!" Charlie raised his eyebrows with a look of delight on his face.
