Lin Qiao had arrived onto a tree which was at some distance from the battleground. She directly flashed into her space, then closed her eyes to sense the situation outside. She knew that the level-five zombie had sensed her existence, so she entered her space as soon as she arrived there.
The level-five zombie leader merely glanced in her direction and then paid no more attention to her, instead keeping its eyes fixed on Xie Dong.
It wanted this human being's energy nuclei, as well as his delicious blood and flesh. It had had its eyes on this group of human beings for a couple of days before finally making a move and forcing them into this area.
It was going to make its move the day before, but a great human army had suddenly shown up back then. Some superpowered human beings in the army were stronger than itself, so it didn't dare to move, choosing instead to wait until now.
Fortunately, the two powerful human beings didn't discover it.
At the moment, Xie Dong was trying to figure out a way to break out of this zombie encirclement He didn't know what to do right now. Even if he managed to break out of the zombie crowd, there would be two intelligent zombies to deal with. To make matters worse, even if he killed the two intelligent zombies, there would still be the zombie leader to face.
What could he do to escape these zombies' lethal attacks?
He only had fire power, but couldn't fly or move underground. Yet, even if his power had been used up, he still had his combat skills. Hence, he might still be able to defend himself against the two intelligent zombies by punching and kicking. However, against the zombie leader which had a superpower of its own and was capable of controlling other zombies, he was totally powerless.
At this very moment, the zombie leader seemed to have finally gotten tired of waiting as it growled at the two intelligent zombies by its sides.
"Roar!"
Hearing it, the two intelligent zombies immediately darted out and rushed straight at Xie Dong.
They were extremely fast and nimble as they rushed into the crowd of zombies, leaping directly over their heads, and using the heads as stepping stones to rush over to Xie Dong, who was inside the encirclement.
Seeing these two finally make a move, Xie Dong was shocked.
The zombie leader didn't seem to want to keep waiting.
The two intelligent zombies seemed not to fear Xie Dong's fire as they fiercely charged at him, who hurriedly threw out two fireballs at them in order to defend.
However, they dodged the fireballs by moving nimbly to the side. At the same time, they rushed up to Xie Dong, brandishing their sharp claws and clawing at his body which was wrapped in a thin layer of flame.
The flames wrapped around Xie Dong's body were greatly weakened by now because of using some of the little energy left in him to create the fireballs. So, if he were clawed by these two intelligent zombies now, his flames would be crushed and extinguished easily.
However, the zombie leader felt that it was not enough. It suddenly reached out its hand, spreading its fingers to make a claw which was waved at Xie Dong. A wave of coldness surged all around the place, and then hailstones fell from the sky one after another, striking the latter's body.
These hailstones were melted by Xie Dong's fire when they landed on him, but at the same time, they had weakened it as well. The surrounding temperature dropped and actually pressed down the fire on Xie Dong's body.
"Pah!" Xie Dong felt a pressure on his chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. However, before he could react, the two intelligent zombies were already clawing at him again.
He hurriedly rolled on the ground, then violently shoved at the surrounding zombies regardless of being scratched by them. With that, he managed to create a gap in the zombie crowd and rushed out through it.
There was a building nearby, and it happened to be a supermarket. The supermarket would have a warehouse, which could serve as his temporary shelter.
He would rather die than become a meal for zombies, and he refused to allow the level-five zombie to dig out his energy nucleus and absorb it to turn his power into its.
While running, Xie Dong made sure to track the level-five zombie leader's actions.
After pouncing and missing their target, the two intelligent zombies immediately turned around and chased after him at a high speed.
When these two arrived behind him, Xie Dong suddenly threw out two fireballs and hit them squarely. After that, he took out the rifle which had been carried on his back the whole time and fired two shots at the two.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
He aimed the rifle and shot at the surrounding zombies swiftly, accurately, and fiercely with non-stop bullets. His shots were extremely precise, with every bullet blowing off a zombie's head.
The two intelligent zombies paused briefly when they were hit by the fireballs. By the time they realized what was happening, Xie Dong's bullets had taken off their heads.
Anyhow, he had once been an elite special force soldier. If he didn't fear that level-five zombie, he wouldn't have saved the rifle till the end. But now, his power had run out, and the rifle was his last resort.
The level-five zombie saw Xie Dong break out of the zombie crowd and kill its two underlings, so it finally moved again.
Seeing it move, Xie Dong immediately fired two shots at it, then quickly ran into the building and rushed toward the warehouse.
The moving speed of a level-five zombie couldn't be measured by the human eye. Therefore, the two shots that Xie Dong fired at this zombie leader couldn't possibly hit it. It turned into an animal-like shadow and flashed across the air, rushing toward the building in front of Xie Dong.
It patiently watched Xie Dong run into the building. The latter's speed was very slow in its eyes, so it was in no rush to pounce on him and bite him to death. Instead, it suddenly darted before him, blocking his way like a cat teasing a rat.
Seeing that his way was blocked, Xie Dong remained calm and immediately raised the gun to shoot at the zombie leader. However, it dodged the shots again, crawling and darting all over the wall like a spider. It clearly wasn't afraid of the bullets at all.
During the fight, neither of them noticed a transparent figure which had suddenly appeared nearby. That figure dashed toward Xie Dong and grasped his arm, followed by the latter vanishing from his spot.
The zombie leader paused, its facial expression freezing briefly. It blinked a few times in confusion as it finally realized what had happened, opening its mouth wide and bursting into a raging growl.
"Roarrrr!"
It thrust toward where Xie Dong had disappeared and circled around in agitation, but failed to sense his vibe. All that it sensed was the smell that he had left behind.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The zombie leader couldn't have imagined that the meat which was about to fall into its mouth would disappear just like that. It angrily jumped up and down, bumping its head against the wall and leaving holes in it.
His power rose along with his anger, making the temperature drop sharply. As a result, the ground was quickly crusted with a layer of ice.
If this zombie were a human being, it would certainly have cursed like, 'Damn it! Where's my meat? Damn it! Who stole my meat?'
However, it couldn't talk or think like a human being. It's instinctive ferocity and acquired intelligence didn't allow it to figure out what had just happened.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
After a few frenzied moments, the zombie leader finally calmed down. However, it didn't stop uttering deep growls from its throat, its voice sounding very angry and confused.
It just couldn't understand how that human being had disappeared into thin air. It had observed him for a long time, and was assured that he didn't have the space power. If he did, why hadn't he used it earlier? Why did he wait until now?
Despite all of this, he had clearly and certainly disappeared!
