Bang! Bang! Bang!

Seeing Xie Dong make a move, the other robbers immediately raised their guns and fired at him while swearing furiously.

“Damn you! You wanna die? Then die!”

But next, they were dumbfounded to see him not even trying to dodge the bullets. After leaping over the fat man, he suddenly turned back. Standing behind the fat man, he completely ignored the bullets which had hit him, then directly bent down and stuck his claws into the fat man’s back.

Puff!

A beating heart was dug out in the next second.

The fat man’s eyes bulged and his mouth was wide open. However, his screams were stuck in his throat as he fell to the side slowly before thudding against the ground.

At this moment, Xie Dong saw only this fresh, beating heart in his hand, but had no spared attention for those robbers.

What these hungry robbers didn’t know was that Xie Dong was even more starving than they were! Since he woke up as a zombie, he hadn’t eaten anything for days. He was a relatively lower level zombie; therefore, he had been suffering from the hunger all day. If not for Lin Qiao’s suppression and the lake water’s effect, he might have lost his mind already and become a crazy zombie which had memories.

If that happened, he would be likely to bite every living human being he saw, and might not be able to tell the good people from the bad ones.

Xie Dong had been struggling with himself while he was holding the heart and smelling its tempting smell. The fat man was an evil person, but still, he was a human being. If Xie Dong ate this heart, he would become a man-eating creature, wouldn’t he? But, he was really hungry now, and his empty stomach made him feel so uneasy.

Another voice from his heart had been telling him that he was no longer a human being, that he was a zombie, and eating human beings was a normal physiological response of zombies; and that he didn’t need to care about those viewpoints based on humanity.

Hearing that voice, Xie Dong gazed at the heart, hesitating over sinking his teeth into it.

The six robbers who were still alive all stood stupefied when they saw Xie Dong staring straight at the human heart in his hand without glancing at them, and seeming to feel absolutely nothing when the bullets hit his body.

‘This, th -this… What is this? Why could this man cut out someone’s heart bare-handedly? Why didn’t he respond to the bullets that hit him? Why does he seem so hungry when staring at the heart?’

‘What on earth is going on!’

To them, Xie Dong still looked like a human being, and was able to drive like a normal person. So, these robbers all thought that he was a human being. However, what he just did had gone beyond the limitations of human beings.

Right at this moment, they saw this man suddenly put the heart into his mouth and take a large bite. The blood seeped from the corners of his mouth, and soon, his entire mouth was red with blood.

Seeing the satisfaction in Xie Dong’s eyes, the robbers were stunned. Their brains even stopped working for a moment.

They too ate human beings, but they would at least cook the human flesh before eating it. As for eating raw human flesh, not even these brutal evil robbers could do that.

Therefore, these robbers were frightened when they saw Xie Dong bite the fresh heart directly. This man turned out to be even fiercer than they were!

A man who seemed to the leader of these robbers soon realized what had happened. He calmed down and fixed his eyes on Xie Dong, then began observing him.

He found that Xie Dong’s gunshot wounds had been bleeding, but that blood was dark-purple instead of red.

When he saw Xie Dong eat the human heart, he thought that the latter was like himself; but now as he had calmed down, he found something unusual about Xie Dong.

When Xie Dong stuck his claws into the fat man’s back and ripped out the heart, his moves were neat and quick like an instinctive action. He ignored the bullets that hit him, and made completely no reaction to the gunshots; his blood wasn’t red, but was dark-purple, like the blood which had pooled for a long time without flowing.

Suddenly, a thought flashed across this robber leader’s head, causing his face to pale. He instantly drew back while shouting, “Get back! He’s a high-level zombie!”

He fired at Xie Dong’s head while retreating. Hearing him, the others were all shocked, and then they hurriedly fell back.

As for Xie Dong, he impatiently popped the rest of the heart into his mouth and wolfed it down after taking the first bite.

Xie Dong seemed to be a little slow in reaction as he was eating. It seemed that he hadn’t sensed the bullets which were flying at his head. If those bullets hit him in the head, the result wouldn’t be too good.

However, just when the bullets were about to hit him, a figure suddenly flashed out from the side to shield him. It raised its arms and swiftly clawed in the air, then some bullets fell from its hands one after another.

‘Where did this zombie come from?’ The robbers couldn’t figure it out.

Lin Qiao threw the bullets in her hands to the ground, then glanced at the robbers disdainfully. Suddenly, she turned back and gave Xie Dong a kick.

Xie Dong was immersed in the satisfaction of eating the fresh heart. But after being kicked suddenly, he turned back and looked at Lin Qiao with confusion.

“Roar!” Lin Qiao bared her teeth to him, then curled her lips and gave him a roar. ‘Don’t just eat! Do you want the bullets to go through your head?’ she said.

Hearing her roar, Xie Dong finally came back to himself and realized what he had eaten. His face paled as he suddenly rushed to the side, then bent down and retched. He even put his fingers into his throat to try and make himself vomit what was eaten.

Lin Qiao was just speechless at this point, figuratively of course, as she couldn’t speak anyway, ‘You’ve already eaten it, so why do you have to force yourself to throw up now?’

But soon, she couldn’t pay attention to Xie Dong anymore because the robbers had already started attacking her.

The six spread out and fired at her crazily.

Following the flight tracks of the bullets, Lin Qiao felt that this was like playing a game. She moved swiftly and dodged a series of bullets which were flying toward her. Meanwhile, she rushed at the nearest robber.

This robber was the slowest in reaction. He merely managed to climb over the highway guardrail when Lin Qiao came up behind him. She swung her claw at him before she could even touch this robber.

Puff!

A human head was cut off and sent flying up, then fell on the asphalt highway, with blood splashing all over the ground.

Lin Qiao didn’t stop after making the claw attack. Instead, she made a backflip and dodged a large fireball that was striking at her. But, that wasn’t the end as a rain of ice daggers came along with the fireball.

The superpowered robber who threw out the fireball wasn’t at a high level, merely a level-three one. But, the one who sent out the ice daggers was a level-four. He was the one who had told the others to get back.

The two robbers moved suddenly, and their attacks were rapid and fierce.

However, they still weren’t as fast as her. When the fireball fell on the ground, Lin Qiao had already dodged aside, and when the ice daggers flew at her, she flashed across the air and disappeared without a trace.

By the time she reappeared, she had already moved to the side of the robber who had thrown out the fireball.
