Rebirth: Love in the Apocalypse-Chapter 90: Invisible Zombie
Chapter 90: Invisible Zombie
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
In one moment, Mo Chenxuan was standing beside Qin Wu and in the next, he was several metres away, standing in front of Lin Rongrong.
At the same time, three lightning bolts condensed on his right palm and he reflexively threw them in front of him.
"Get back." He shouted while condensing another handful of lightning bolts.
Fortunately, team Legends trusted Mo Chenxuan unconditionally.
Although they didn’t know what was going on, they immediately retreated and left an empty space around Mo Chenxuan.
"Don’t stay around here. Move closer to Wu’er." He continued to instruct while unleashing lightning bolts at random places around him.
While everyone was moving towards her, Qin Wu collided with a level three zombie.
At a glance, the zombie was male and wore a doctor’s coat.
From the initial collision, the doctor zombie did not have a superpower but Qin Wu did not let her guard down.
Instead, she became more vigilant, and began to carefully observe the zombie.
Seeing that Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu were tied up, Xu Fei immediately stepped up.
Based on the current situation, block C had two level three zombies, twelve level two zombies, and fifty-three level one zombies.
"Rongrong, Lu Hao, Xiao Junxie, I will leave the level one zombies to you. Try to kill them as fast as possible." Xu Fei said.
"Understood." The three nodded with solemn expressions.
"Yanyan, prioritise on freezing the level two zombies. I will try to kill them as fast as possible to lessen your burden." Xu Fei continued.
"Got it." The little girl said.
Following that, everyone got into their role.
Lin Rongrong, Lu Hao, and Xiao Junxie began dealing with the level one zombies while Lu Yanyan and Xu Fei dealt with the level two zombies.
Because Lu Yanyan was a level one superpower, her ice ability could not freeze level two zombies for more than a few seconds.
However, a few seconds were enough for Xu Fei to deal with an immobile level two zombie.
In this way, Lu Yanyan froze twelve level two zombies and when they were immobile, Xu Fei did his best to behead the nearest one.
When the ice ability broke, Lu Yanyan would cast another and Xu Fei would again behead another zombie.
Unfortunately, Lu Yanyan’s energy reserve could not compare to that of a level two superpower.
Long before Xu Fei ran out of energy, Lu Yanyan exhausted herself and could no longer unleash the freezing ability.
"I need to replenish my energy." She shouted.
"Go ahead." Xu Fei said.
In the previous confrontation, he and Lu Yanyan eliminated nine level two zombies.
Although it was a bit of a stretch to hold back three level two zombies by himself, he was confident he could hold on until Lu Yanyan returned to the game.
"I only need a few minutes." Lu Yanyan said, already holding a purified crystal core in her hand.
"Okay." Xu Fei said without turning back.
In front of him was three level two zombies.
Of the three, two were female and the last was a zombie foetus with undiscernible features.
’I just need to hold on for a few minutes.’ Xu Fei said and waved his right hand.
Simultaneously, six metal bars flew out of his palm.
A moment later, the bars flew over and instantaneously trapped the foetus zombie in a small cage.
’I can only hold it for a few minutes. Before then...’
With his brows creased in a frown, a sword appeared in each of his hands and he rushed towards the two female zombies.
On the other side, Lin Rongrong’s group was steadily dealing with the level one zombies while Qin Wu was in a stalemate with her level three opponent.
Several metres away, Mo Chenxuan was still throwing lightning bolts at random places around him.
’The team would have been in trouble if I didn’t have the spiritual ability.’ He thought, his eyes narrowed into slits.
Before the ward door opened, Mo Chenxuan knew team Legends would be facing a hard fight.
However, he still underestimated the difficulty.
When the door opened, Mo Chenxuan saw something rushing towards his teammates.
At first, he didn’t take it to heart and wasn’t too worried about his teammates.
Fortunately, his body reacted faster than his mind.
If he hadn’t moved when he did, he wouldn’t have been in time to save his teammates from the level three invisible zombie.
At this time, Mo Chenxuan and the invisible zombie were facing each other.
’It’s a pity it encountered me.’ Mo Chenxuan thought while condensing a handful of lightning bolts.
Compared to the level three zombie rat he previously killed; the invisible zombie was slightly weaker.
However, this was only because it was facing Mo Chenxuan.
If it encountered an opponent who didn’t have the spiritual ability, that enemy would surely die without a burial place.
Unfortunately, it met Mo Chenxuan and his spiritual ability completely negated the zombie’s invisibility.
"I need to finish this as soon as possible." Mo Chenxuan frowned.
While he was fighting the invisible zombie, he was also keeping an eye on the other battlefields and the surrounding area.
From what he saw, Lin Rongrong, Lu Hao, and Xiao Junxie were relatively stable and he didn’t need to worry about them.
Comparatively, Xu Fei and Lu Yanyan were less stable but they still had a good handle on their situation.
As for Qin Wu, she couldn’t defeat her level three opponent but the zombie couldn’t get away from her.
Given time, everything would fall into place and team Legends would successfully conquer block C.
Unfortunately, time was not on their side because team Overlord was already moving towards block C.
Seeing this, Mo Chenxuan no longer held back.
"Team Overlord is coming." He shouted.
At the same time, his eyes narrowed into slits, and a thin lightning bolt formed on his right palm.
Compared to previous bolts, this one was thinner and smaller.
However, it exuded a dangerous feel that charged the surrounding air.
’Let’s hope this will do.’ Mo Chenxuan thought and threw the lightning bolt.
A moment later, the bolt landed on the invisible zombie and a crackling sound was hold.
Instantaneously, the zombie gurgled, lost its invisibility, and fell in front of Mo Chenxuan.
Mo Chenxuan smiled when he saw this.
However, his face was paler than usual and his energy reserve was close to the bottom.
That said, he didn’t linger.
After collecting the zombie’s crystal core, he rushed to Qin Wu’s side, just in time for team Overlord to arrive at block C.
.....
’Team Legends is already here.’ Xuanyuan Yi thought, his eyes narrowed into slits.
He and his team encountered ninety-three zombies in block B.
Of the ninety-three, forty-one were level two and fifty-two were level one.
Based on the agreed-upon assignment, the ninety-three zombies amounted to four hundred and sixty-two level one zombies.
Originally, Xuanyuan Yi thought his team Overlord was in the lead.
Unexpectedly, team Legends had already dealt with block A and arrived in block C ahead of them.
"Captain..." Song Feng called in an uncertain voice.
"Block A was a private ward. It goes to reason that it didn’t have a lot of people and consequently, zombies." Xuanyuan said and quickly continued.
"There is no time to waste. Everything can wait until we kill the remaining zombies."
After that, team Overlord hurried to the battlefield.
As a result, two level two zombies and thirty-nine level one zombies were stolen from team Legends.
However, Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan did not give team Overlord an opportunity to take down the level three zombie.
Although Mo Chenxuan was exhausted, he had enough energy to land a few hits on the level three zombie and combined with Qin Wu’s attacks, the two managed to take it down before Xuanyuan Yi joined the fight.
"I didn’t expect captain Mo and vice-captain Qin to be so powerful that they can even defeat a level three zombie." Xuanyuan Yi said, looking at the two.
"We were just lucky." Qin Wu stated in an indifferent voice.
However, only she knew she was at the point of collapse.
If team Overlord attacked them, she and Mo Chenxuan would be useless to stop them.
’I need to replenish my energy as soon as possible.’ She thought and sipped some space water.
Beside her, Mo Chenxuan did the same, hoping to regain enough energy to guarantee their safety in the event of a sudden attack.
Fortunately, he and Qin Wu were wearing masks and Xuanyuan Yi couldn’t see their pale faces.
"The level three zombie didn’t have a superpower so we barely managed to defeat it." Qin Wu continued.
"Is that so?" Xuanyuan Yi asked, his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Shall we settle the gamble or enter the ward first?" Mo Chenxuan asked, wanting to distract from his and Qin Wu’s strength.
"Settle the gamble." Xuanyuan Yi didn’t hesitate.
