Bai Tiantian rushed to Bai Qingqing’s side and asked, “Qingqing, are you okay?”
Bai Qingqing coughed for a while, holding her injured throat and hoarsely replied, “Not dead.”
Fu Chen arrived in an instant. The Zombie Emperor knew that he was the strongest human in the team, so he needed to eliminate him before capturing the two girls.
The man leaped up suddenly, attacking Fu Chen with his hands transformed into sharp claws like daggers, aiming for his head and heart with lightning speed that couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.
Fu Chen quickly dodged, leaping up and sending a thick purple lightning bolt, as fast as a wild wolf, towards the Zombie Emperor. Sensing the danger, the Zombie Emperor evaded it swiftly.
“Boom!” A loud noise echoed as the building struck by the lightning exploded, instantly turning into powder.
The man and the zombie quickly engaged in a fierce battle. Their speed was too fast for ordinary people to catch with their eyes. Explosions continued to sound around them, and in the distance, various buildings collapsed and were pierced.
Bai Tiantian supported Bai Qingqing and returned to the car, anxiously pacing around. “Qingqing, Li Jin fainted. What should we do? What should we do? Are we going to die here? I don’t want to die!”
She sobbed, “If only I had persuaded everyone to stay at the Yaoyang Base. Mingxuan ge is also missing…”
Unable to see any hope of escaping the city of death, the fear and panic of the past few days overwhelmed her, and she completely broke down.
“You be quiet!” Bai Qingqing raised her hand and slapped her.
A crisp sound echoed as Bai Tiantian held her burning face, tears in her eyes, and looked at the finger marks on Bai Qingqing’s neck. She rushed over and hugged her, saying, “Qingqing, I’m sorry.”
Bai Qingqing pushed her away. “I’ll go drive. You help Li Jin to the living room.”
The two quickly walked to the driver’s seat and, together, moved Li Jin, who had fainted on the steering wheel. Bai Qingqing sat in the driver’s seat and glanced at Bai Tiantian, who was supporting Li Jin. “Check if he’s injured.”
“Okay.” Bai Tiantian supported Li Jin and went back to the living room.
Bai Qingqing started the car. The modified vehicle was more difficult to drive than a regular one, but luckily her driving skills were decent enough to handle it.
Without the pressure from the Zombie Emperor and with the zombies outside starting to chase after them in waves, she drove the modified car recklessly through the dilapidated city, searching for a way out.
…
A few minutes ago, after Fu Chen had dealt with a fifth-level zombie, he rushed towards the modified car like a madman. Outside the research institute, Xiao Yang and Liang Zhiyu were still battling two other fifth-level zombies.
These two zombies were cunning, and coupled with their rapid recovery speed, they were difficult to deal with.
Xiao Yang’s energy was quickly depleting, and Liang Zhiyu was not in an optimistic situation either. The two zombies planned to exhaust their stamina before attacking them for food.
“This won’t work,” Liang Zhiyu calmly said. “We need to kill them quickly.”
“I know,” Xiao Yang’s face turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, “Liang Ge, I’ll distract them while you attack.”
The surrounding buildings were all pierced by the power of wood manipulation, leaving the two fifth-level zombies with no place to hide. The wood manipulation pursued them relentlessly, with one of the zombies firmly entangled. Wind blades transformed into knives and attacked its head.
“Roar!” The fifth-level zombie roared angrily, struggling to break free from the wood manipulation and evade the attack.
The wind blade cut through its shoulder, and a foul-smelling green and purple blood flowed out. It stared at Xiao Yang with a cold gaze, like a wild beast, and launched a furious attack.
The speed of the zombie beast was too fast for both the wood spikes and wind blades to harm it. Xiao Yang dodged the attack by flipping over and pressed the ground. Wooden stakes suddenly emerged from the ground, piercing through the zombie’s chest.
“Liang Ge, quickly!” Xiao Yang shouted.
Liang Zhiyu instantly pierced the head of the fifth-level zombie, successfully killing it. But before they could celebrate, the other fifth-level zombie unexpectedly seized the opportunity to grab its companion’s body, cracked open its skull, and swallowed the crystal core.
Licking its fingers, it revealed a greedy expression. “Delicious.”
Zombie upgrades often involved cannibalism among their own kind. Unexpectedly, the fifth-level zombie had already set its sights on its companion, using Liang Zhiyu and Xiao Yang to kill it and then seizing the crystal core.
As soon as the fifth-level zombie absorbed the crystal core, it underwent an immediate mutation. Its pupils grew darker, and its eyes stared at Xiao Yang and Liang Zhiyu with a sinister gaze.
“Thank you for killing it. I will make your deaths easier,” it said.
Xiao Yang’s face showed disgust as he directly countered with his ability. Sharp wooden spikes shot through the air.
…
Inside the car, Bai Qingqing was evading the pursuit of zombies. Due to the paralyzed traffic in the City of Death, the roads were full of potholes and blockages, making it difficult for her to find a way out.
Meanwhile, the battle between Fu Chen and the Zombie Emperor reached a critical point. The zombies fought like wild beasts, skilled in close combat and possessing eerie speed and rapid regenerative abilities.
Therefore, when Fu Chen noticed Bai Qingqing driving away, he distanced himself from the Zombie Emperor and engaged in a fierce battle using his ability.
The sky over the City of Death was gloomy, covered in dark and oppressive clouds. Fu Chen suddenly used a large amount of electricity manipulation, condensing the clouds into a vortex several times larger than before, accompanied by crackling sounds of thunder.
The speed of the lightning was extremely fast, instantly approaching the Zombie Emperor.
A lightning bolt of such immense size would instantly annihilate not only ordinary people but even a fifth-level zombie. The Zombie Emperor immediately leaped to avoid it, but the lightning pursued him relentlessly. Fu Chen, skilled in combat, wouldn’t let him escape and once again summoned a web of lightning, densely enveloping the Zombie Emperor.
The Zombie Emperor had nowhere to escape. It swung its hands fiercely, causing the air to compress and distort, forming a wall to block the thunderbolt that was attacking it. With a thunderous explosion, sparks scattered.
The lightning web formed by the thunder was destroyed, and the Zombie Emperor was about to counterattack when it suddenly looked up and saw a thunderbolt as thick as a bucket. It came down with such speed that it couldn’t dodge in time, and it crashed down on him.
“Qingqing, what should we do?” Bai Tiantian asked.
Bai Qingqing closed the curtains to block the terrifying scene outside and said, “I don’t know either.”
The modified car was unable to move, and they could only wait for rescue, hoping that Fu Chen could overcome the terrifying zombie king and come to save them.
…
Xiao Yang and Liang Zhiyu had killed the recently upgraded zombie king. Their faces were stained with blood as they sat on the ground, resting for a while, looking towards the distant battle.
“Liang ge, let’s hurry over and help Brother Fu.”
“Let’s go.”
The two of them quickly rushed towards the zombie king. They had to assist Fu Chen in killing the zombie king together.
Fu Chen narrowly avoided the sharp objects attacking him, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the zombie king with a sinister expression. He was in a sorry state, his clothes torn and covered in wounds.
“Brother Fu.” Xiao Yang hurriedly arrived, followed closely by Liang Zhiyu.
The zombie king’s pupils contracted when he saw the appearance of two more espers. He roared in anger, “Useless! You can’t even kill a few espers!”
If he had known that those few fifth-rank zombies were so useless, he would have killed them and taken out their crystal nuclei.
“You monster, today is the day of your death.” Xiao Yang said coldly.
The zombie king stared at them coldly, baring his fangs. “All of you will be buried here.”
“Stop wasting time with him.” Fu Chen coldly unleashed several lightning strikes, attacking the zombie king.
Xiao Yang and Liang Zhiyu simultaneously followed up with their attacks. After multiple cooperations, their coordination was seamless, forcing the zombie king into a desperate situation.
“Roar!” The zombie king let out an angry roar, his clothes instantly bursting open as his body underwent a transformation, shocking everyone with its beast-like size.
The energy unleashed by the zombie king in an instant knocked the three of them back, and his figure disappeared from their sight. “Not good!” Fu Chen exclaimed sharply, crazily swooping towards a certain direction.
