XG 167 - Absorb them all

"Shit, we got a new wave of zombies coming over!" Bee reported after checking the situation at the other side of the gate with his binoculars.

He was fired from his job of attacking with the demolition ball after accidentally caving in a section of the fence. He had just made more entrances to welcome the zombies in! Wonyoung, the soft-spoken guard, took over the crane and did a better job than Bee.

"Where's Miss Wong?" The captain quickly asked, having the idea of letting her go to the front and deal with the new wave.

"Aren't you rather eager to send a kid out to fight?" The beanie hat guard asked as he hid behind the captain to reload his gun.

The captain cleared his throat and ignored the sweat dripping down to his eyes, never stopping pulling the trigger. "All people with ability should not be categorized in the usual way. Even if she's a child, she has the power to protect us. Don't underestimate children!"

The beanie guard sighed, staring down at the remaining ammo left before tossing another grenade at the crowd. "Just as well. We don't have enough ammo left."

Just as the leader of the patrol team had that thought, other desperate people had it as well. But none of them dared to voice it out, since the person in question was already busy doing her part of the contribution, as well as being someone they could not effort to offend.

Wong Xue Guo winced from the sudden headache and took off her glasses. Surprisingly, without the lenses, her eyes could see everything clearly.

It was a little disgusting to know that she was absorbing energy from zombies to get powerful, stronger and healthier, but the pros helped overcome it.

The pros also made her heart greedier and her gaze, as she stared at the zombies, became different. Eagerness sparkled in her eyes and her mouth unconsciously curled upward.

This devouring ability was not Wong Xue Guo's ideal one, but a beggar should not be choosy.

Even if she wanted to wear her glasses, her current vision would make her head dizzy. Keeping her glasses safe in her pocket, Wong Xue Guo told Nana to stay back.

But Nana refused. "I won't leave your side. You did not absorb much from me."

Wong Xue Guo did not press on the issue as they were lacking of time. "Stay close to Smoker."

It surprised Nana that Wong Xue Guo regained her composure rather quickly and was ready to have a second round of attack again.

Instead of staying with Smoker, Nana followed behind Wong Xue Guo, watching her practise her shadow against the zombies that entered the base. She only shoots if Wong Xue Guo missed a zombie, but so far, she only got to shoot one. It was slightly puzzling what conditions were needed to activate the black sclera, as now Wong Xue Guo was using her shadows with normal eyes.

"Little princess," Kang Xunsu called as soon as he was within hearing range. He let out a soft whistle when he saw the little princess' really healthy and glossy appearance of someone that has a really relaxing holiday. "Did you break your glasses?"

"What are you doing here?" Wong Xue Guo asked in surprise and quickly directed her shadow to absorb the zombies before they could come near them.

Kang Xunsu was shooting with one hand, with his other arm supporting half of his weight using the crutch. "Let me introduce you to two funny guys."

"Please speak properly to the young miss," Scot Lang chastised. With a flick of his finger, a zombie sailed over the air towards him to be then stabbed with a knife.
