At this moment, Sun Bei had already sensed the difference in this Zombie, but there was no way to escape; the Zombie was too fast, and he could only brace himself with the Watermelon Knife in hand.
"Crack!"
The Watermelon Knife was directly pierced by the Zombie's claws, forcing him to drop the knife and retreat a few steps to maintain a safe distance from the Zombie. Meanwhile, Xuan Mo had already rushed over and kicked the Zombie away.
"What the hell! It's evolved!"
Sun Bei was startled and quickly took out another knife from his back. He then pulled Xuan Mo, who was mid-air, back to the ground, and together they began to flee into the distance.
Their coordination was seamless, as if they had practiced this escape maneuver countless times. The entire sequence was completed in just a second. Unfortunately, although Sun Bei was an Ability user who had evolved in both speed and strength, he was still not at Second-Level. Xuan Mo had reached Second-Level, but he only thought his physical abilities had improved.
After all, not many people would think their bodies could emit elements like water or fire, so their bodies wouldn't react unless faced with an absolute deadlock that triggered a strong survival instinct or the will to protect someone. Only then could they instinctively unleash their Abilities.
The rarer an Ability is, the harder it is to manifest for the first time. This is also one of the reasons why Second-Level Ability users can only passively take hits from First-Level Zombies at the beginning; Zombies act purely on instinct without common sense, while humans are bound by various concepts.
"Huff, huff, huff~"
Even though the two were running desperately, they still couldn't increase the distance between themselves and the Second-Level Zombie. Instead, as time passed, their distance grew smaller and smaller. Despite giving it their all, Sun Bei and Xuan Mo were at a significant disadvantage in stamina; it was only a matter of time before they were caught.
The Zombie showed no signs of fatigue, but they were living humans. Xuan Mo realized that if they continued running like this, they would eventually be caught. Moreover, not far away was where Ruru and Tian Weiwei were hiding; what if...
Thinking about the possible consequences made his gaze firm as he stopped in his tracks.
Sun Bei was running for his life when he suddenly noticed that Xuan Mo had disappeared from his side. Thinking something had gone wrong, he turned around and found Xuan Mo standing there ready to confront the Zombie, shouting in exasperation: "What are you doing standing there? If we run a bit more we can reach..."
He stopped mid-sentence as he suddenly understood Xuan Mo's intention. Indeed, if they ran a little longer, they would lead this First-Level Zombie right to Ruru and Weiwei.
Thinking of this, he paused his steps and glanced at the nearby building, a hint of determination appearing on his face as he stood shoulder to shoulder with Xuan Mo.
"Roar~"
The two exchanged glances, and seeing the Zombie pounce towards them, they immediately dispersed and then swiftly moved behind the Zombie, each grabbing an arm and bringing their knives down hard.
However, due to the nature of their knives and the tough exterior of the Zombie, Sun Bei, who was strong, managed to sever the Zombie's arm, while Xuan Mo's knife only sank into its flesh. Unfortunately, the blade got stuck between the Zombie's bones and could not be pulled out, resulting in him being swatted away by a powerful blow.
"Roar~"
This action completely enraged the Zombie. Although it currently felt no pain, it was very displeased to see parts of its body missing. It quickly turned around and lunged at Sun Bei, who had caused it the most damage, while its right claw was also ready to strike fiercely.
Seeing this situation, Sun Bei quickly retreated but still couldn't dodge in time and received a scratch on his chest from the Zombie.
"Bang~"
"Damn it!"
Xuan Mo witnessed this scene and heard a light sound in his mind as his rationality snapped completely. His eyes turned red; they all knew what being scratched by a Zombie meant.
"Swish."
A blade of wind formed and swiftly flew towards the neck of this First-Level Zombie. In the next second, its head separated from its body. However, after using his Ability for the first time, Xuan Mo felt a blur before his eyes; his stamina was nearly depleted, and that warm sensation was reduced to less than half.
But at that moment, he had no time to worry about these things and hurriedly crawled over to Sun Bei's side.
Seeing this situation, Sun Bei chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Oh man~ I've really messed up~ Haha~"
Xuan Mo's eyes turned red, tears brimming as he lowered his head in guilt.
Sun Bei looked at Xuan Mo's reddened eyes, sat up, and after a moment of silence, smiled gently at him.
Seeing his forgiving demeanor, Xuan Mo felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly. In pain, he said, "It's all my fault. If I had been able to cut off its arm or discovered this ability sooner, you wouldn't..."
"Help me take care of Weiwei. She has always been under my protection as her uncle. From now on, it will be up to you. You know she has always had feelings for you."
"…Yeah, I will."
Sun Bei looked at Xuan Mo and comfortingly patted his shoulder, saying, "It's okay. After eighteen years, I'll be a good man again."
Then, a flash of determination crossed his eyes. Taking advantage of Xuan Mo's distraction, he plunged the Watermelon Knife into his own chest, right into his heart, because even if he died, he wanted to die as a human.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo hurriedly reached for the knife handle, trying to stop Sun Bei's actions. But he was no match for the strength-evolved Sun Bei. Even though he was filled with rage and used all his strength, the knife still sank into Sun Bei's chest.
Not far away, Tian Weiwei gasped in shock.
"Sun Bei!"
Xuan Mo froze and stared blankly as he saw Tian Weiwei holding Ruru standing fifty meters away, fearfully covering her mouth. Then she released Ruru and rushed toward him in less than five seconds. She pushed him aside and shouted at him through tears, "What are you doing!"
At that moment, Xuan Mo could only see the lifeless Sun Bei. His mind went blank as he realized Tian Weiwei misunderstood him for killing Sun Bei. He explained in a confused manner, "He was injured; I saved him; he committed suicide..."
But Tian Weiwei couldn't hear any of it; she only believed her own eyes.
"Injured?! Where is the injury?! You liar!!!"
Xuan Mo was taken aback, looking at Sun Bei's chest, where the Watermelon Knife had embedded itself, right at the spot that had been scratched. Due to the infection, within two minutes, the blood was still bright red.
"This... that."
"Ah~"
A distant cry startled Xuan Mo, and he quickly looked up to find Ruru's leg caught by a Zombie that had lost its legs and was crawling on the ground. With a thought, a blade of wind severed the Zombie's head from its body.
He had already been injured from being thrown earlier, and now with his Ability drained and his mind unsettled, he fainted. Just before losing consciousness, he seemed to see Tian Weiwei raising her self-defense dagger...
When he woke up again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar white room.
At that moment, W Doctor entered and told him that he had discovered him while collecting materials. At that time, only his sister was guarding him, pleading for help. Feeling pity for his sister and noticing his potential, the doctor saved him. Unfortunately, Ruru had been injured and was temporarily placed in a life pod; as for Tian Weiwei, the doctor said he hadn't seen her at all.
Xuan Mo furrowed his brows deeply. Upon learning that Ruru would mutate without the life pod, he was suspicious of this suddenly appearing doctor but dared not gamble with the life of his only relative in this World.
Later, he learned that the doctor had recruited many individuals with potential and was conducting research. To maximize their utility, they were subjected to continuous experiments and forced to kill each other. He realized that this doctor was not as simple as he appeared.
But who cared? As long as Ruru was alive, that was all that mattered.
Afterward, after killing countless people, he received a new codename: Hurricane. From that day on, Tian Weiwei completely disappeared from his life, leaving him unaware of her fate...
