Chapter 655: Zombie

Chapter 655: Zombie

Liu Yuchun never imagined that his ability would be completely countered by Kamiya Gedou!

His poisonous mist was utterly ineffective against a venomous snake.

In this fight, he’d become completely useless.

“Hhrrgh!”

The serpent opened its jaws and spat a large mouthful of pitch-black saliva at Liu Yuchun!

Snapping out of his shock, Liu Yuchun tried to flee in a panic.

But he wasn’t fast enough—the spit still splashed all over him.

Ssshh—

His finely made Yan Yun combat suit was corroded instantly,

And the corrosive fluid spread rapidly underneath,

Melting away nearly half his shoulder on contact!

“AAAHHHH!!”

Liu Yuchun let out a heart-wrenching scream.

He writhed on the ground like a maggot—

But in no time, his entire body turned pitch black and stopped moving completely.

This… was the fate of a Superhuman whose ability had been completely countered.

In that moment, he was no stronger than an ordinary person.

Yu Zhengyang and Zhuo Feiyu felt a chill settle into their hearts.

He was killed instantly?!

Now it was two versus one—how the hell were they supposed to deal with this prehistoric beast?

The serpent raised its upper body and stared coldly down at them.

“Now… it’s your turn.”

Meanwhile, on Akutsu Shinichiro’s side, he was still locked in a fierce clash with Yuan Hao and Xia Lingling.

Compared to Kamiya Gedou and Daiku Kai Enzu,

Akutsu’s ability seemed far more ordinary.

He was just a standard Enhancement-type Superhuman,

Using a thug’s favorite weapon—a metal baseball bat.

At first, Xia Lingling had the upper hand.

Her monstrous strength was terrifying—rare even among Enhancement-types.

She could even go blow for blow with Akutsu’s weapon using just her bare hands.

All of this came from the presence of the man behind her—Yuan Hao.

Yuan Hao looked soft and delicate, completely non-combative.

But he stood there, earnestly cheering her on with all his might.

“You’ve got this, Lingling! You’re amazing!”

As his encouragement rang out, Xia Lingling’s pupils began to glow with a strange purple light.

Her strength and speed surged dramatically.

Akutsu quickly figured it out—Yuan Hao was a Support-type Superhuman.

But with Xia Lingling blocking his way, he couldn’t get to him.

So, Akutsu chose the simplest, most direct solution—

Take her out first!

As the fight dragged on, his metal bat moved faster and faster.

Gradually, the tide began to turn.

In repeated power exchanges, Xia Lingling started to fall behind!

A flicker of worry appeared in Yuan Hao’s eyes.

“This… this can’t be. Lingling’s supposed to be invincible!”

His pale face puffed up in frustration.

“My cheering must not be loud enough—I’ll shout even harder!”

He cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled louder.

Xia Lingling’s body began to shimmer with a glowing purple aura.

She opened her mouth—her sharp fangs began to lengthen,

And her fingernails extended into ten-centimeter-long black claws, sharp like daggers!

She now looked like a vampire.

“AHHHHH!!!”

She screamed as she charged at Akutsu.

Akutsu let out a wild laugh, swinging his bat toward her with a manic grin.

“This game’s over!”

Akutsu Shinichiro—Enhancement-type Superhuman.

Codename: Yakuza Brawler.

A street thug from Chiba, fighting was second nature to him.

What he thrived on was indomitable will—the more he fought, the stronger he became!

His ability matched his personality.

As long as he stayed in combat, his strength would keep growing.

In theory, if the fight went long enough,

He could even take on Epsilon-level Superhumans!

(Though in practice, that was still hypothetical.)

Against those on par with him, if the fight dragged on, he would always win in the end.

Right now, Akutsu had built up enough momentum.

His bat clashed once more with Xia Lingling—

But this time, he cunningly avoided her claws and struck her in the side!

It’s hard to imagine a blunt object like a bat ripping a person in half.

But when swung fast enough, a baseball bat wasn’t that different from a katana.

Xia Lingling’s body was cleanly bisected at the waist!

Her eyes filled with shock as her upper and lower halves flew apart from the momentum.

Thud! Thud!

Both halves slammed into the ground.

Yuan Hao’s face turned ghostly pale.

He clenched his fists and shouted:

“You b*stard! How dare you hurt my Lingling!”

“Hurt her?”

Akutsu rested the bat on his shoulder and looked at him like he was insane.

She was literally cut in half,

And you call that just “hurt”?!

But then he understood what Yuan Hao meant.

Because Xia Lingling’s severed body—

suddenly began to reconnect.

Hundreds of thin blood-red tendrils emerged from each half, extending and weaving together.

Within moments, the two halves were stitched back together, muscles and tissues perfectly aligned.

Though the wound was sealed, the flesh was eerily pale—

Like a piece of zombie meat frozen for years.

Xia Lingling got back up.

Her expression turned dark and cold, eyes locked on Akutsu like a predator.

“Tch.”

Akutsu said flatly, “So you’re a zombie, huh?”

Yuan Hao, leader of the Superhumans in Xiying City,

was a Control-type Superhuman.

Codename: Zombie Controller.

Xia Lingling leapt back to his side.

Yuan Hao hurried over, gently touching her body with care.

“Are you okay, babe?

Thank goodness you’re already dead—otherwise, that last hit would’ve killed you.”

He hugged her arm, face full of affection.

Only, with Xia Lingling being a corpse, the scene was… deeply disturbing.

“So it was the right call to kill you back then,”

He said softly, with a loving smile.

Even the staff watching from the Operations Command Center couldn’t help but gag.

One female operator covered her mouth, nearly vomiting on the spot.

He’d been dating a corpse this whole time?!

And if Xia Lingling was dead, just a body—

Then who the hell was doing the talking?

Just thinking about it made the mind recoil in horror and disgust.

Akutsu’s face twisted in revulsion.

“You’re a f***ing freak.

A necro-loving, split-personality freak.”
