The second group of zombies came at them from both ends of the street.
Some stumbled over the bodies ahead of them, while others climbed over cars and dropped onto the road hard enough to break bones. A single runner forced its way through the crowd, its mouth open and arms reaching for Rouxi, only for a strip of metal to flash past Zhenlan's face and split its skull before it crossed half the distance.
Yuche didn't bother to wait and see it fall. He stood still as more metal tore free from the abandoned vehicles, twisting into thin blades that hovered around him before shooting into the horde.
Rouxi, on the other hand, stepped forward as roots pushed through the pavement around her boots. The baby vine had already carried her iced tea out of the way and was guarding it near a tree while her baby vine was curled around her wrist, opening its tiny mouths at the approaching dead.
"Try not to destroy the cores," she reminded Lingyun.
