Chapter 102: Spirit-Powered Zombie

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_

“Em!” Long Qingying moaned with a muffled voice as she kneeled on the car roof on one knee with softened legs. She supported her body with both arms, dropping her head with a twisted face and a pained look.

In the car, except for Du Yuanxing, who was also a level-five superpowered one, the others had all begun howling in pain.

“Ah!”

“Ouch! My head!”

“Eh… What… is… going… on? My head!”

Du Yuanxing pressed his head with both hands. His whole body was twitching, but still, he took a deep breath and managed to reach out a hand toward the zombies who grasped the opportunity to pounce on the car.

A thick bolt of lightning was released from his palm, splitting into an electric web and descending on those zombies.

After a series of sizzling noise and an exploding sound, a dozen zombies were directly burned into smoky coke pieces by Du Yuanxing’s electric web.

He was a rare electric-powered man. If he weren’t at a relatively high level, his electricity power wouldn’t be so harmful to the zombies, but would be effective on human beings indeed.

Because of his power, he was one of the top-ranked people in his base whom no one dared to offend. Who would want to be struck by electricity? Even imagining that could scare people.

The others in the car were all paralyzed at the moment. They buried their heads in their hands, teeth bared while moaning in pain. The looks on their faces revealed their misery.

“Damn… This is… a spiritual attack… right?” Cai Hongqing was holding the steering wheel with both hands, head pressing on it. He even wanted to hit his head against the steering wheel to ease his pain.

“Em… It hurts so much… Shun, how’re you doing? Shun? Shun!” The people in the backseat suddenly found that the weakest man in the team, who was just an ordinary man, had already shown the whites of his eyes and was foaming at the mouth.

Long Qingying, who was still on the car roof, had recovered now. She raised her head to find that the surrounding zombie crowd had already reached the car. As the people in the car were all disabled, no one was trying to stop the zombies from approaching, and soon, the ring of encirclement shrank.

She stood up, then raised a hand to gather the surrounding metal objects again and launch another wave of steel thorns to kill the zombies which had almost laid their hands on the car.

“Drive! There are too many zombie bodies. If we don’t move now, we’ll be buried here!” While attacking, she shouted at the people in the car.

At that moment, Du Yuanxing had recovered as well. “Move! Stop looking for that level-four zombie. Retreat now!” He told Cai Hongqing to move the car as soon as possible.

They hadn’t found their target, but under the current situation, they had no choice but to retreat for now. They needed to figure out something about the strange spirit-powered zombie before making a new plan.

Besides, that wind-powered zombie hadn’t shown up the whole time, and none of them could tell where it was. Didn’t people say that two high-leveled zombies would never show up in the same area without trying to kill each other?

Did the spirit-powered zombie banish the wind-powered zombie before they arrived?

Right at that very moment, as they prepared to withdraw from the battleground, Lin Qiao came out of her space without sensing the outside situation before that, and showed up right on…

…the car roof!

Lin Qiao stared at Long Qingying’s average-looking but cold face in shock.

‘Damn! What’s happening here!’ That was all she could say to herself at that moment.

Before she could react, Long Qingying, who was less than half a meter away from her, had already reacted swiftly and pulled out her katana.

Clang! The sharp katana was pulled out of the sheath along with an echoing sound. Long Qingying pulled out the katana quickly and neatly, then swung at the zombie which suddenly showed up in front of her.

‘Damn! Don’t attack just yet! Can’t we just have a conversation in peace?’ Lin Qiao screamed in her head.

Lin Qiao slightly turned her body and moved her feet. She didn’t leap off the car roof, but moved slightly and automatically grasped the katana with her claws.

Long Qingying was surprised by how nimble Lin Qiao was, but didn’t stop attacking. Instead, she raised a foot to kick at the zombie.

Lin Qiao immediately raised a foot to defend herself, then turned her leg to lock Long Qingying’s. After that, she stomped her foot against the car roof and tilted her head to dodge Long Qingying’s metallic hand, which was coming for her head.

She felt that she’d probably die if that metallic hand managed to pierce into her head!

After raising her other hand to lock the metallic hand of Long Qingying, she finally disabled the latter for launching any new attack.

Long Qingying was still holding her katana, but the edge of the katana was gripped in Lin Qiao’s hand. The sharp weapon didn’t hurt Lin Qiao’s palm. On the contrary, she felt quite comfortable holding it.

After she disabled Long Qingying from moving, Lin Qiao finally had some time to observe the surrounding environment and figure out what was happening. She had already seen a giant crowd of zombies around the car.

“Roar!” Without thinking, she uttered a roar at the zombie crowd, expressing a strong warning to force them to step back.

At that point, Long Qingying’s heart had already sunk to the bottom.

‘Is this that spirit-powered zombie?’ She asked herself.

But still, she didn’t give up on fighting, and her moves continued to be swift. She dropped the katana immediately, and then her fingers turned into five sharp steel thorns, stabbing at Lin Qiao’s head.

Lin Qiao knew exactly what she was going to do, because she wasn’t just holding her. She was also enabled to sense her thoughts by the physical contact between their bodies.

Therefore, when Long Qingying dropped her weapon, she loosened her grip and leaped backward. She flipped in the air, then landed stably on the ground.

Long Qingying failed to hurt the zombie with her steel claws. She found that within a blink, the zombie had already moved to the ground, standing not far away from the car.

“Eh? The zombies stopped…” At that time, Cai Hongqing suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the surrounding zombies in confusion.

Long Qingying leaped down from the car and stood in front of Lin Qiao with her back to the car. She held the katana with both hands, eyes fixed on Lin Qiao.

“It showed up!”

Her words immediately caught the attention of the others. They all knew that she was trying to tell them that the spirit-powered zombie had shown up.

The people in the car looked at Long Qingying, seeing a weird zombie standing in front of her, three or four meters away. The zombie was looking around, and no one knew what it was looking for.

It seemed to be a male zombie, about five feet seven tall, and short-haired. Its face was covered in large brown-colored scars. It was wearing a clean training suit, looking energetic and clean, not as dirty and stinky as the other zombies.

Its eyes were dark, sparkling with a cold light.

Once it showed up, the surrounding zombies all stopped moving.

Du Yuanxing and his teammates realized what was happening, all becoming alert.

However…

…a minute had passed, but the zombie didn’t even glance at them!
