Ch 209 Light of the Apocalypse 8.25
It took at least an hour to fully get rid of the spiders and mice. Two-thirds of the people had almost exhausted out their abilities. It was impossible to continue fighting.
But before everyone could sigh with relief, they were hit with a sudden, strong rotting smell filling the air. Everyone looked up in alarm. They all began stepping back, stepping back. They had even forgotten to run to their cars. They were only able to follow natural instinct and try to run away. XunMi’s side had also seen the arrival of the zombies. It seemed like the mice and spiders were only the first course.
This was the main course! Without hesitation, her group attacked. As the front line of zombies fell down in waves, the zombies behind them rushed forward. This went on without end.
Ye MingYe stayed by XunMi’s side to protect her. However, as more zombies came forward, a small gap grew between him and XunMi. XunMi didn’t notice. She was only thinking about getting rid of all of the zombies. When she finally realized, it was too late.
Her body slammed forward, making her fall forward. She reflexively used her earth abilities to create vines that would catch her falling body as sharp ice crystals charged out of her hand to pierce any zombies nearby. She had entered the center of the zombie mob.
Her eyes hardened. Just wait, she was definitely going to kill the person that had just pushed her. She angrily threw out more ice crystals while clearing a path.
When Ye MingYe turned around, he saw XunMi fall into the mob of zombies. His eyes reddened. He remembered the past life. He had also been pushed down into a zombie mob. In the end, he was forced to self-destruct. But now, he was angrier than when he had been pushed down. That was XunMi, his XunMi. He had sworn to give her a peaceful world. How could this happen to her? He wouldn’t allow it. He threw out lightning bolts with rage. Bang Bang Bang! Large pits appeared in the zombie mob. As the lightning touched them, the zombies immediately became ashes.
Cheng XinYao had been watching her boss the whole time. Seeing that he had been distracted with zombies, she acted. She watched with satisfaction as the two of them became further and further separated and XunMi became encircled tighter amongst the zombie crowd.
Ming Mei’s eyes glistened. She quickly pulled out the thing in a black bag. She stepped away from the others and calculated the distance. After making a proximation, she threw the object with all her might. The object had a parabolic trajectory, heading straight for XunMi. With the help of the wind, the black bag opened up, revealing the edge of the object inside. A smell also rushed out into the open air.
When BaoBao found that XunMi had been schemed against, he had run to XunMi’s side to help. In the process he had forgotten about XunMi’s orders to keep an eye on Ming Mei, therefore giving her the chance to throw her weapon.
XunMi naturally dodged the object heading at her. Her face darkened even more. Slam! The object hit the ground. The bag unwrapped to reveal the object’s true shape. It was a piece of b.l.o.o.d.y meat!
If XunMi still didn’t understand that someone had been scheming against her, she would have been oblivious. She didn’t need to think about who the schemer was. Ming Mei was definitely involved. No matter who the schemers were, though, she’ll make sure they all get a taste of this feeling.
[Madam Host, you can choose to turn on your abilities.] BaoBao floated obediently above her, trying to protect her.
“No, let’s just wait a little.” XunMi shook her head. She could still handle it right now.
Ye MingYe’s nerves were tightened. One small push would have sent him over.
“Ming Mei, you should be wishing that I won’t be able to survive this.” XunMi stood surrounded by zombies, forming a ball of ice between her hands. Her eyes were on Ming Mei as she tried to scramble back to the car.
Boom!
“Watch out!”
“No!” Shouts of alarm sounded out. XunMi only felt herself fall into someone’s embrace. The chest was so warm, the breath was so familiar to her. Being in his embrace always made her feel safe, but why did she feel like crying now? Why? She didn’t understand.
“Boss.” Ling Chen roaring voice shook everyone out of their stunned state.
“MingYe, MingYe! Why did you block it for me!” XunMi pushed him off her so that she could check his body. There had been numerous zombies around her when XunMi was attacking. But out of nowhere, there had been a strange sneak attack. They moved fast. XunMi didn’t even have time to detect the attack coming from behind her.
Ye MingYe used all the energy in his body to explode the zombies around him, change to XunMi’s side and hug her into his arms. The pain coming from his back didn’t stop him one bit. The woman in his arms was his entire world. If she didn’t exist, then he couldn’t live. “Mi’er, be good. Don’t cry. I’m fine.” Ye MingYe knew his own condition. He grabbed the hand that XunMi reached out to check him.
“Let’s get rid of these zombies first. Let’s leave, that was the level five zombie just now.” His eyes flashed with pain and sorrow. He needed to say goodbye to his Mi’er. Even if he didn’t want to leave, he no longer could accompany Mi’er. But before he left, he needed to make sure those that schemed against her suffered.
XunMi looked deep into Ye MingYe’s eyes, searching. But she didn’t see anything. She temporarily sighed with relief. She knew he was right. They needed to clear out these zombies first. Her soul energy and strength were swimming furiously inside of her. All of it converged together in the form of mental abilities. She created a large net and shoved all the zombies inside. She clenched her teeth. The thought of strangling became stronger and stronger. The zombies that had still been able to slowly move began to fall over one by one.
BaoBao took control of the system map, finding the level five zombie that had been hidden in the shadows. But his findings shocked him. There weren’t one, but two!
No wonder they felt that the level five zombie had so many abilities.
“Ka..Ah…Ca..” A level five zombie appeared from behind a tree. It was the one that had used mental abilities to control those spiders and mice. The other level five zombie was also forced out.
Ling Chen and Song ZiQian put their all in their fighting, completely ignoring their own potential loss of power. Right before they both ran out of their power due to overuse, they were able to kill the zombie.
XunMi successfully controlled the mind abilities zombie. The rest were much easier to take care of afterwards. The scene suddenly quieted. The atmosphere was incredibly tense, especially Ming Mei and Cheng XinYao. They never would have thought that they could actually fail to kill Ming XunMi. They never would have guess that she would suddenly become so strong. They silently stepped back, hoping to be ignored.
XunMi held Ye MingYe’s hand, her whole body was shaking. She had spent a lot of her abilities. Even standing upright was a problem right now.
