At the moment when Ye Zhongming was fighting with the tree man in the underground laboratory on the third floor, the twin sisters had already entered the battle first.
After they kicked open a wooden door of a room on the third floor, they were greeted by a sight filled with… dried corpses.
They were not unfamiliar with these things; more than half a year ago, it was these creatures that had forced them underground.
However, the dried corpses in this room were clearly different from those they had seen before. The magic crystals on their foreheads… had color.
In other words, the level of these dried corpses could be determined.
Yaten looked over and saw various colors like white, black, green, and blue, indicating that the dried corpses in this room ranged from level two to level five when they were ‘alive’.
Instinctively, Yaten hid behind her sister, but a second later, the younger sister stepped out again.
Although she was young, it did not mean she was ignorant; on the contrary, having survived in the apocalypse until now, her understanding of the world far exceeded her age. In fact, the ugliness she had witnessed far surpassed what a normal person would see in a lifetime during peacetime.
She held the Silken Puppet and realized she was no longer the ordinary person who could be bullied. Her sister was no longer the same sister either. Now, she needed to step up and fight alongside her sister.
The little girl’s earlier fear vanished, replaced by a sweet smile, and a hint of redness seeped into her bright, large eyes.
The moment the door opened, the dried corpses rushed in, and combat became inevitable.
Just like a hornet's nest being poked, numerous dried corpses surged out from other rooms on the third floor almost simultaneously, blocking the twin sisters in the middle of the corridor.
“Sister, let’s break through!”
Yaten licked her lips with her small tongue, her rosy lips becoming shiny.
Yani, the Silver Corpse, did not share the same change of expression and mentality as her sister. When she saw the dried corpses, she immediately entered a combat state. If it weren't for her sister, who could influence her, not giving a clear command, she would have charged out already.
Hearing Yaten speak, Yani understood her sister’s intent through their bond from the bow tie ability. Unable to hold back, she moved and rushed into the horde of dried corpses.
Even without any equipment, the Silver Corpse was a terrifying presence. Now, due to the strong mental connection with her sister and her own autonomy, she had learned to use Nono’s Wilderness Companion set, significantly increasing her power. Her charge was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain; once she entered the horde, she began to wreak havoc, swinging her fists left and right, sending every dried corpse she touched flying.
However, due to her height, the Silver Corpse’s fists rarely struck the heads of the corpses; most of her punches landed on their abdomens and chests, instantly creating holes in their bodies. If the level of the dried corpses was not high enough, they could be broken in half by a single punch.
In half a minute, Yani had taken down a quarter of the corpses in the room with her frenzied attacks.
Meanwhile, Yaten turned to deal with the dried corpses in the corridor. She had little combat experience and was not as high level as her sister, yet the little girl showed no fear.
Lack of combat skills was no problem; it was just fighting, after all. So Yaten swung the Silken Puppet, standing still where she was. Any dried corpse that approached would be struck by her puppet.
To be honest, the Silken Puppet only resembled a cloth doll, but in essence, it was a powerful weapon with an attack strength of over four hundred. In terms of stats, it was probably only second to the Crystal Energy Magic Bullet Gun in the entire Cloud Summit Villa. Whenever a dried corpse was touched, it was instantly shattered.
Additionally, the little girl was very clever. By standing inside the room, the corpses could only crowd at the entrance, with a maximum of three at a time, allowing Yani to attack comfortably. As she fought, she even laughed, resembling someone playing a gopher-hunting game.
