"Boss Shen Kui was successful!" Although the heavily injured Xue Sha was trembling unstoppably due to the hideous sound, he still stared at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ vengefully . Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had destroyed his Sword Club, his very foundation, as well as crippled his leg . Xue Sha bore a deep grudge against Jiang Lius.h.i.+, and Shen Kui caused his seed for revenge to grow .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ looked around, searching for the sound's source as he sensed danger .
As the howl kept getting stronger, everyone's expression turned unsightly . They were so scared that they no longer bothered with the s.h.i.+ Ying Squad . Some of them couldn't help but point their guns behind them . Only Angelica still stood there quietly and with a wisp of excitement at that .
Suddenly, a stout yet ruined body was thrown in front of everyone . The body was torn open, with an ugly hole on its chest, while its internal organs, or what remained of them, and blood stained the ground . Fear and pain were still engraved on the poor fellow's face . Though everyone was pretty much used to such gory scenes, their hair still stood on end after witnessing that .
"Heeeeeelp!" One of the paranormals standing guard behind the manor ran for his life, but he was suddenly thrown to the ground by a blurry figure . He struggled to look up, but the blurry figure stepped on his head heavily .
Everyone heard the blood-curdling sound of the unlucky man's head bursting open like a watermelon . In a mere instant, he lost his life .
Cold sweat drenched the spectators' backs, while their eyes almost popped out of their heads as they tried to look at the blurry figure . They all felt that if they were in his shoes, their outcome would not be any better . It was not difficult to kill a person, but they had never witnessed a paranormal losing his life so easily . It was as if the other party had just stepped on a powerless worm . Â
Soon, the blurry figure stopped, and they all clearly saw what it was – a female zombie! She licked her scarlet lips, while her scarlet eyes swept through the courtyard .
"How embarra.s.sing! We just merged, so I counted suppress all her urges in time . But I have to admit, this kind of controlling and speed are intoxicating!" The female zombie licked her lips, issuing sharp sounds from its sharp-fang-filled mouth . The sound it produced was like someone was rubbing two pieces of sandpaper together .
"What? The zombie spoke!?" exclaimed someone in utter disbelief .
The strange scene left everyone astounded . They had never heard of zombies using human speech before . Even the most advanced zombies they had encountered could only produce clear growling sounds .
However, the female zombie before them was completely different . Although it seemed as its voice was forcibly squeezed out of the throat, hoa.r.s.e and ugly, they could all clearly hear its every word .
Even Xue Sha felt surprised by the talking zombie . Angelica was the only that kept smiling as the results were better than she expected .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ sneered . "Shen Kui, is that your trump card? A zombie, really now? Compared to your previous toys, this zombie's appearance is disgusting . "
In Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s mind, the appearances of the pangolin and the bats that Shen Kui manipulated were way cooler . In contrast, the female zombie looked too plain . Of course, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said that to taunt Shen Kui . He was vigilant against the zombie as he could feel how dangerous it was . Â
'Sta.r.s.eed, scan the mutant zombie's energy level,' ordered Jiang Lius.h.i.+ . Soon, Sta.r.s.eed transmitted back, 'Level-3 mutant zombie . '
'A level-3 zombie!?' Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had never encountered one before . Level-2 ones were already challenging to deal with, not to mention a level-3 one .
The female zombie may be stronger than what he had ever faced, but according to Sta.r.s.eed's a.n.a.lysis, it had not broken through to level-3 naturally; external factors had been used to stimulate its evolution .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ speculated that it was originally at the peak of level-2, and Shen Kui used some method to force its evolution . Meanwhile, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was clearly aware that the potency of the female zombie's virus had increased, and its strength was not to be trifled with .
"Jiang Lius.h.i.+!" The female zombie, or better say Shen Kui, suddenly locked on Jiang Lius.h.i.+ with a burning gaze .
"We meet again! It's good you're here . I can't help but wonder where you found the guts to appear here after destroying my beloved puppets . Now that you're here in Chukyo Base, I'm afraid that you'll never leave this place again . Surround him immediately! Today, not even a fly is allowed to escape from here!"
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ interrupted him with a cold smile hanging on his face . "First of all, it seems you've made a mistake . I'm here to hunt you down, not the other way around . Secondly, what about your subordinates? You must have spent a lot of resources on raising your puppets, right? Resources that could have been used for the development of your subordinates…"
Many members revealed skeptical looks after hearing that . About half of Xue Sha's loyal members had lost their lives in Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s hands . As for the rest, they belonged to Chukyo Base, and they were not loyal to Shen Kui .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s reminder caused everyone to feel disgusted . None of them was willing to sacrifice their lives for such an ungrateful and devious person . Therefore, none of them obeyed Shen Kui's order . Â
Shen Kui swept around with a murderous gaze, and then he asked coldly, "Angelica, why are your members defying my orders?"
Apparently, after fusing his consciousness with the female zombie, he had become more aggressive . His hatred for Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was also a factor that affected his current state of mind . Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had only killed his puppets, but he had also chased them all the way to Chukyo .
When Jiang Lius.h.i.+ heard the name Angelica, he recalled she was the girl Tomiko had been talking about . However, Tomiko obviously did not know her 'friend' . From Shen Kui's tone, it was obvious that Angelica was Chukyo Base's leader .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ glanced at the girl, who stood there quietly . He had not paid her any heed earlier, but after observing her carefully, he noticed that she was in no way simple . In Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s mind, she did not resemble a living person, but instead, a refined, sculpted figure .
