This city, having been uninhabited for too long and constantly experiencing slaughter and destruction, is now filled with decay and ruin.
Inside one dilapidated building, a small, timid figure hides behind a wall, peeking out. The fluctuations from the Mental Power link indicate that the target is getting closer, yet there is no one in sight.
A hint of vigilance appears on his dark face.
The Mental Power does not deceive him; this means that this Zombie is more formidable than he imagined, as he cannot even perceive its speed of movement.
Could a Zombie of this caliber really be harmed by a child without any Ability? If it isn't harmed, wouldn't that just spell trouble for him?
Spiritual System Ability users are always cautious and do not engage in unprepared battles. Although their Mental Power is formidable, their combat abilities are often inferior to those of lower-tier Ability users, so they can only rely on wits.
Although Wei claimed to have set up restrictions throughout the city, this guy has always been ruthless and treacherous. Who can guarantee that he isn't deceiving himself into serving him? What if those restrictions don't work on this Zombie? That would mean a pointless death!
Thus, he decides to remain still and observe secretly.
Lu Feng, holding the fainted Dumpling in his arms, finds it strange. This guy isn't usually that timid; why did he suddenly faint?
But then he thinks about it—after all, he is still a child. How could he not be afraid after falling from such a height? Perhaps he had overestimated his strength.
What he doesn't know is that Dumpling has long been hypnotized and is currently in a dream, terrified and fleeing while being protected by his brother, reliving that harrowing experience.
"Ziche, listen to me. Run over there and don't look back. Find an opportunity to return to the base. No matter what you encounter, you must survive. And if you unfortunately run into someone, stay on high alert. Pretend to be foolish and don't show your intelligence. Do you understand?"
"Brother... Brother, come with me."
The boy called Brother was only about eighteen or nineteen years old. He looked at his crying younger brother without any expression, his delicate face showing a resolute determination to die.
"Have you forgotten what I taught you? It’s useless for you to attract the Zombie; you run too slowly and don't have enough stamina. If I attract it, you have a much better chance of escaping. Do you want us both to die?!"
Seeing a hint of pain on the child's face, the brother knew he had listened. He took off the Necklace around his neck and put it on his brother, saying, "This will mask your scent for two hours. Remember, run towards the suburbs, preferably to an open and deserted place!"
Watching his brother flee, he only heard a "sizzle."
The brother made a cut on his wrist, crimson blood gushing out, and hurriedly ran in the opposite direction...
Reality
Lu Feng was completely unaware of Dumpling's tightly furrowed brows as he stood at the edge of the city.
He felt a strong sense of crisis looking at the empty road before him. Tentatively, he exerted a pressure forward but found it had vanished, followed by a rebound of pressure.
"Crack."
He noticed a fist-sized crack where he had been standing and frowned slightly. He focused his willpower and directed the nearby Zombie to move forward.
The Zombie walked over obliviously but turned into a light spot just as it was about to exit the city, leaving not even a trace of ash behind.
"What’s going on?! I can’t get out?"
He concentrated his power and launched a stronger Ability, but it was still useless. The energy was once again rebounded, and the entire building beside him was reduced to ruins by the force of the backlash.
"Damn it."
"Haha~"
Watching this scene, one was delighted while the other was worried.
Lu Feng saw a short man with an oddly large head, wearing a long coat, slowly walking out from a dilapidated building.
He smiled lewdly, looking as if victory was assured.
"Hmph, you can’t get out now~"
"Smack."
A visible pressure of energy surged towards him, startling him and causing his expression to change. He took a step back and fell to the ground.
"Coward."
Hearing Lu Feng's nonchalant words, the man's face flushed with anger.
He had previously suffered similar ridicule due to his physique and weak personality. After finally becoming an Ability User, he found himself as a support-type Ability User, feeling like a useless addition to the team.
Although he could dominate among ordinary people, he was still bullied among Ability Users; otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned to this mission.
Having hit a sore spot, a malicious glint appeared in the man's eyes as he watched the energy rebound. He then dusted off his pants and said fiercely, "Hmph, you're dead meat!"
Lu Feng looked at the person in front of him with utter disdain. Without that Barrier, someone like him could be wiped out in seconds.
At that moment, the little figure in his arms suddenly opened its eyes and quickly pulled out a syringe filled with red liquid from its pocket. Taking advantage of Lu Feng's unpreparedness, it jabbed the syringe into his Heart.
"Ugh~"
Lu Feng stared in shock at Ziche in his arms, disbelief filling his eyes as he heard Ziche viciously say, "Damn Zombie, die!"
"Buzz"
The liquid automatically injected into Lu Feng's Heart. If one could see through his skin at that moment, they would notice his Heart constricting as the liquid surged through it, supplying blood to his brain and eroding his intact nerves.
"Hahaha~ I told you not to be arrogant! Let's see who’s more arrogant! Spit!"
The fog seemed to lift from Dumpling's eyes as Lu Feng knelt on the ground. After a while, the mist cleared, and clarity returned to his gaze.
Rubbing his eyes in confusion while looking at Lu Feng, Dumpling suddenly noticed the syringe in Lu Feng's chest. His expression changed as he realized what he had done and hurriedly rushed forward to pull out the syringe.
"Roar"
Lu Feng suddenly raised his head to look at him, his blood-red eyes completely turning deep red, filled with intense killing intent. Dumpling was so frightened that he momentarily forgot to escape, paralyzed by a chilling fear.
The two were less than half a meter apart when Lu Feng sniffed in Dumpling's direction. Just as he was about to bite down, the remaining shred of rationality caused his heart to convulse painfully. At the same time, the energy fluctuations emanating from the City Center attracted him, making him lick his lips.
Reluctantly glancing at the small figure before him, he swallowed hard. Although only one percent of his rationality remained, he had no intention of letting this food go. He decided to first head to the place with the powerful energy fluctuations and then return to enjoy his meal slowly.
"Zzz..."
He left a trace of Mental Power on Dumpling, a special ability of High-Level Zombies that marked their territory. This way, lower-level Zombies would not come to snatch away his food.
Satisfied with this action, he nodded and soon disappeared from Dumpling's sight. As for that Little One, it smelled too bad; he would deal with it later based on his mood.
In that instant of departure, Dumpling suddenly realized something. He stared blankly at the syringe for a moment before scampering towards the City Center.
The Little One naturally wouldn't enter the Barrier to catch him. After all, if he went in, he wouldn't be able to come out. Although the order was to return immediately after completing the mission, just thinking about being called a "coward" made him furious, especially since he was clearly in an advantageous position now.
"Hmph, this liquid will completely turn you into a Zombie monster! Once you kill the person you're supposed to protect, you'll definitely be drawn back to me. At that point, you'll be stuck in a situation where you can't stand me but can't kill me either! In the end, you'll just die at my hands in a tragic manner! Hahaha~"
Though this was still just his fantasy, he felt as if his plan had already succeeded and laughed joyfully, especially at the thought of the Eighth-Level Zombie Crystal Core soon falling into his hands. The greed in his eyes burned brightly like a raging fire.
With a lewd smile, he hid back in his original spot and resumed watching.
City Center
Liu You'er felt that something was off about Lu Feng, both from the aura he exuded and the color of his pupils.
“Hey... hey, delicious, eat!”
As Liu You'er watched Lu Feng charge at her, the two little figures in her mind were finally drawn to the battle situation and restored peace.
“Drink!”
With a swift turn, she kicked Lu Feng in the chest with force, using it to propel herself away.
Although it wouldn't cause him any harm, she successfully dodged the attack and could observe him better.
Her consciousness spread out and probed Lu Feng's brain but was immediately repelled. Even so, it was enough; she looked at him with astonishment and disbelief, saying, “You... how have you completely turned into a Zombie?”
Lu Feng frowned, unable to understand what the strange-smelling creature across from him was saying. Moreover, the prey was disobedient and had evaded his attack, which made him extremely unhappy.
“Buzz.”
A low humming sound vibrated in the air around Lu Feng. Liu You'er watched this scene with a serious expression as a layer of white light barrier appeared one millimeter around her body, enclosing her completely.
