Chapter 1280: He Falls

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Both of them were invisible inside the white mist. They were like two blind people fumbling for each other’s vibe.

The short man was approaching the roof edge exactly where Yun Meng was. Unexpectedly, the two who were not able to locate each other happened to be moving toward each other.

While Yun Meng was crawling slowly, a foot suddenly landed on one of her forepaws. Both of them stopped moving as if time froze at that moment.

Yun Meng turned, looked at that foot. ‘I’m sorry, you stepped on me.’

The short man even wanted to kill himself at that moment. ‘Is it too late for me to take my foot back now?’

Despite all the thoughts that were going on in their minds, Yun Meng sprung up and pounced on the man in the very next second. She deactivated her invisibility and swung her sharp claws at the man’s throat and stomach.

The short man reacted swiftly, but he was still slightly slower than Yun Meng. He didn’t manage to dodge her claws, so he automatically raised both arms to shield himself.

Thud! Yun Meng scratched the man, but in the meantime, the man gave her a kick. She lifted a knee to fend against that kick while stepping backward.

Woosh! Yun Meng nimbly turned her body in the air and then landed on the ground as she raised a strong air stream. When she raised her head again, the short man was gone.

Of course, she wasn’t feeling frustrated. On the contrary, she delightedly licked the blood off her claws.

It was great! She scratched the man, so the man would become a zombie.

The virus from a level-seven zombie attacked quickly. Within a blink, the mist on the roof started dissipating rapidly. Three seconds later, the short man was spotted, kneeling on one knee under the guardrail by the roof edge and covering the wounded forearm with a hand.

Red blood flowed out of that wound. In the darkness, the color of the blood couldn’t be seen.

The short man clearly sensed coldness spreading toward every corner of his body from that wound. At that very moment, he felt as if the blood, muscles, and even bones of both his arms were icy cold already.

“You! Your claws are venomous!” He twirled as he stared at Yun Meng and yelled with surprise. In the meantime, he fumbled through his pocket with his unwounded hand and took out a small bottle. Unplugging it, he poured the medicine in it into his mouth.

Yun Meng stood up with her tail wagging behind her body. With a sneer, she said, “You think that’s some ordinary kind of venom? The antidote isn’t gonna work.”

After taking the drug, the man still felt cold. He couldn’t even feel his hands anymore. The coldness reached his shoulders and chest and made him find it hard to breathe.

He gasped for air. Feeling his condition growing worse and worse instead of bettering, he couldn’t help but shake his head and murmur in a panic, “This is impossible… this is impossible… Huaxia Base’s antidote works for most toxins in the world except for the zombie virus and… and those underground creatures… This is impossible…”

The antidote developed by Huaxia Base wasn’t able to detoxify every kind of toxin, but it had an inhibitory effect on most kinds of toxins in the world. It was developed by the top medical scientists in the base, possessed exclusively by them. It could be counted as very precious.

For level-seven superpower possessors, as long as the antidote inhibited the toxin, they would be able to slowly excrete it by using their superpower energy. At least, they wouldn’t need to worry about their lives! The antidote worked well in tests. But currently, it wasn’t working for the short man. That fact really made the man panic.

At the moment, he started losing control of his energy. He felt colder and colder, so much so that he automatically curled his body and even dropped the gun in his hand.

Yun Meng shifted back to her human shape. Her sleeves and trouser legs had all been torn by her shape-shifting. She didn’t say a word to the man but disappeared from where she was.

Seeing her disappear, the short man immediately forced himself to stay on alert. However, he couldn’t even release his power anymore, not to mention the fact that he couldn’t see Yun Meng. However, as a level-seven superpower possessor, he was still able to sense the danger instinctively.

The sudden chilliness from his spine and the back of his head made him spring up and roll in a random direction.

Woosh! Yun Meng showed up in the spot where he lay before and swung her claws, then turned around to glance at the man and disappeared again.

“He actually dodged Captain Yun Meng’s attack like that! This Huaxia Man is good indeed!” Watching the short man dodge the attack launched by the invisible Yun Meng, Yue Xiaoxian couldn’t help but exclaim.

“So what? He’s not gonna live for long anyway. He’s infected by the zombie virus,” said Jingyan blandly.

At that point, Yun Meng had all the patience in the world. She was only trying to find out how long the level-seven man could last under the effect of her virus.

Because of his movements, the virus had spread all over his body. He felt as if he were walking in a place tens of degrees below zero without wearing a piece of clothing. He shambled and leaned against a wall, then turned to look at Yun Meng as he held the wall and tried his best to move forward and create a distance from her.

At that moment, he had realized that he would die soon. Even if he managed to escape from the short-haired girl that he was looking at, the other enemies on the scene wouldn’t let him go just so easily.

While he was holding the wall and moving forward with his eyes fixed on Yun Meng, an idea suddenly crossed his mind.

The antidote he just took was able to inhibit almost all toxins in the world except for the zombie virus and the toxins from underground creatures. It wasn’t working on him, so did that mean that what he was having was actually the zombie virus?

He then thought of how Yun Meng attacked him before. He thought she was an animal-power possessor, but as he thought back about the battle, he found her way of attacking almost the same as that of zombies. Most importantly, she had claws and she wore sunglasses at night!

“You… Are you not huma… Ahhhh!” That idea made him pop his eyes and stare at Yun Meng in shock. However, before he could finish, he missed a step. He dropped his head to find a hole under his feet caused by the explosion which happened earlier, and then he fell.

If he remembered right, the building had over twenty stories.

Yun Meng was a little speechless.
