Chapter 89: Helper

"Dirty, what’s the use of it!" Uncle Wang shook his head, "I’ve never wanted this stuff, it’s all for you guys, I don’t absorb crystal cores!"

Absorbing crystal cores is too troublesome, it’s more comfortable just to sleep.

"He doesn’t want it, I do." Uncle Liu quickly turned his head and said, "Give me a hundred or so pieces later, I’ll go back and absorb them for superpowers!"

Old Wang is abnormal, doesn’t need to absorb superpowers yet his superpower keeps increasing.

He can’t do it, he’s not abnormal, he’s a normal person.

Bai Zhengxuan glanced at Uncle Wang who was picking his nose and quietly asked Uncle Liu, "How is he so cocky and not beaten to death yet?"

Uncle Liu: "...He has a big fate!"

Bai Zhengxuan nodded in agreement.

Indeed.

Old Wang drives like a madman, easily chased by zombies, yet still jumps around alive.

Like this time, the garbage truck was driving normally on the overpass, and suddenly a bunch of zombies were chasing them!

It’s just bizarre!

In less than half an hour, zombies piled up in heaps.

Bai Zhengxuan’s fingertips oozed flaming heat, he set a fire, and the zombie corpses instantly ignited.

As the superpower improved, the firepower became even greater, and there was no need for gasoline to burn corpses.

Finally, they were able to relax and catch a breath.

Uncle Wang curiously looked at Qin Yuan on Bai Xiqin’s shoulder, "Why is this wasp so big!"

"It mutated!" Bai Xiqin said calmly.

Qin Yuan: ...

It’s not a wasp, it’s a bird!

"Alright!" Uncle Wang picked his nose again and asked, "Why do I think it looks somewhat like a bird?"

"Mutated, not quite like anything." Bai Xiqin remained calm.

No time to put Qin Yuan in space, had to let it stand on her shoulder, pretending to be a regular mutant animal.

"Roasting bird meat is pretty tasty, right?" Uncle Wang squinted at Qin Yuan on Bai Xiqin’s shoulder.

"This mutated wasp, even if roasted, doesn’t taste good. Uncle Wang, are you hungry? I’ll catch a rabbit, let’s have barbecue for lunch?" Bai Xiqin’s mouth twitched.

"...Okay then!" Uncle Wang regretfully looked at Qin Yuan on Bai Xiqin’s shoulder.

This wasp looks strange, no idea what it tastes like.

Qin Yuan: ???

"Grandpa, wait here for a while, I’ll go catch some rabbits, we’ll have barbecue for lunch!" Bai Xiqin advised, "Don’t play too wildly, attracting hundreds of zombies is enough!"

An outbreak of zombies is not fun!

Bai Zhengxuan held his forehead, "We’re not playing wildly, these zombies just come out of nowhere to play with us!"

"Isn’t it out of nowhere?" Uncle Wang scratched his head, "I think it’s normal!"

Is this out of nowhere?

Isn’t this normal?

Is it rare to be chased by a bunch of zombies?

He often gets chased!

"Shut up!" Bai Zhengxuan held his forehead again.

Old Wang surviving relies on his own luck and ability!

Bai Xiqin shook her head and went down the overpass with Leng Yebai, planning to circle the forest and grab some rabbits from space.

Leng Yebai suddenly looked towards a certain place.

"What’s wrong?" Bai Xiqin asked.

"Someone’s fighting over there, it’s a high-rank Thunder Ability User!" Leng Yebai pointed in a direction.

He could vaguely sense Thunder Ability over there.

"Let’s go take a look!"

Bai Xiqin said and was about to walk over there with Leng Yebai.

Just after a few steps, Uncle Wang’s voice came from the overpass.

"Whoa, how come there are so many zombies again!"

"Old Wang, why are you just standing there, not grabbing a sack!"

Bai Xiqin frowned, the number of zombies today seemed abnormal.

"I’ll go back and help!"

Bai Xiqin said and got back on the overpass, densely packed steel needles shot out, fiercely piercing into the zombies’ temples.

Leng Yebai followed behind Bai Xiqin, intending to stay by Xiao Niu’s side.

Leng Yebai’s fingertips spewed densely packed purple lightning, spreading towards the zombie horde.

"These zombies are strange, they’re all coming from that direction ahead, I suspect there’s a high-rank zombie controlling them." Bai Xiqin frowned towards the direction the zombies were coming from.

This direction is precisely where Leng Yebai said there was a high-rank Thunder Ability User fighting earlier.

Besides superpower users having various superpowers, high-rank zombies can also possess various superpowers.

Maybe it’s not a high-rank superpower user fighting over there, but a high-rank zombie.

"I’ll go check it out!"

Leng Yebai’s eyes flashed slightly.

Maybe he wasn’t hallucinating, he really saw something unusual behind Zhang Yiming.

"Be careful." Bai Xiqin warned.

Leng Yebai nodded lightly and ran towards a direction.

The closer he got, the more he could feel the remnants of Thunder Ability.

He’s a Thunder Ability User, very sensitive to electrical currents.

The air was filled with a pungent, burnt smell, indistinguishable from the smell of zombie corpses on the overpass or the burning mutant wolf bodies.

Leng Yebai’s speed was very fast, as his superpower improved, his speed was slightly faster than a bicycle.

About twenty minutes later, Leng Yebai arrived at the scene of the fight.

From afar, he could sense the scorching heat.

Leng Yebai slowed down, gradually approaching the front.

Two men were fighting.

One man in a white suit was somewhat distressed, his white suit turned ash-gray, his whole body wrapped in lightning; despite the thunderous energy, he remained on the downside.

The other person was Zhang Yiming.

Compared to the distressed suit man, he looked fresh and seemed relaxed.

Around them, twenty zombies lay everywhere, each with traces of being burned by flames.

The zombies’ heads were burned to charcoal by the flames.

Suddenly, a black shadow darted out from afar, rushing directly towards Zhang Yiming.

The shadow moved fast, its sharp claws aimed directly at Zhang Yiming’s head.

Zhang Yiming, back to the shadow, didn’t notice the sudden attack.

Dense purple lightning instantly overflowed from Leng Yebai’s hand, quickly spreading towards the shadow.

"Roar―"

The small shadow let out an angry roar.

It was a zombie.

Only then did Zhang Yiming notice the zombie suddenly appearing behind him.

This was a zombie of a physical size resembling a three-year-old child, its face twisted and impossible to tell if it had been a dwarf or a child.

The zombie was a small lump, its surface stained with a lot of dirt, with sharp nails.

This was a high-rank zombie that knew how to dig, though only third rank, it excelled in eeriness, capable of delivering a lethal blow unexpectedly.

It had been lurking here for a long time, waiting for the right opportunity to ambush Zhang Yiming.

Wang Dongli glanced at Leng Yebai with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes; this was his only trump card, yet it was destroyed by a mere human.

"Roar―"

The little zombie roared at Leng Yebai but rushed towards Zhang Yiming.

Zhang Yiming caught sight of Leng Yebai out of the corner of his eye, a moment of panic flashed across his face.

Flaming heat overflowed from his fingertips, powerful red flames directly burned through the little zombie’s head.

"Didn’t expect Zhang the Zombie King to have a human helper!"

Wang Dongli looked at Leng Yebai with sinister eyes, a dangerous smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth.
