Chu Zhitian was very cautious, but the speed of his advancement was not slow. He walked close to half of the pier in less than half an hour, and did not encounter a zombie along the way.
Xiao Ziling who followed behind didn’t know why, at this quiet dock where almost no other sound could be heard, he could clearly hear the sound of his heart beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and the opened spiritual eyes felt like they were slowly becoming blurred; the original world, cast in red lines, began to blur, like countless wounds slowly oozing blood…
Xiao Ziling actually saw himself, standing in front of him, standing in a place full of blood, looking back at him–beckoning and smiling.
Why am I there? Who am I? Xiao Ziling was lost. He seemed to have returned to his previous life, to the time during the zombie siege battle. He was like a person watching a movie: watching himself being pushed into the pile of zombies, watching himself being pierced by a third tier zombie without resisting. His heart was ripped out, and then he was torn and swallowed by countless zombies and finally turned into a flood of blood that sprinkled on that piece of land, with no bones left.
I’m dead? Turns out I’m dead! Then, who am I? Is it just my soul? Xiao Ziling’s spirit was confused, and suddenly he couldn’t distinguish between what was real and what was false.
A big, warm hand pressed on Xiao Ziling’s head, and a deep and calm voice sounded in his ear: “Don’t be nervous, it’s okay.” Chu Zhitian, who was walking in front, had discovered Xiao Ziling’s abnormality.
With just such a simple sentence, Xiao Ziling seemed to have broken away from a long nightmare. He suddenly woke up; the world in front of him was still stark red lines, and there was no blood or death.
“What’s the matter with me?” Xiao Ziling was a little confused. Why did he unconsciously think of his previous life? Was he so affected by the last scene of the previous life?
Chu Zhitian frowned and said in a low voice: “Just now you were attacked by a spirit-type zombie, and you almost fell into chaos.”
Xiao Ziling suddenly felt cold on his back after hearing this. It turned out that he was in such deep danger just now! Fortunately, Chu Zhitian had been paying attention. With a grateful smile, Xiao Ziling said sincerely, “Thank you Brother Chu. Fortunately, Brother Chu found out and saved me in time.”
Chu Zhitian shook his head, patted Xiao Ziling’s head with his big hand, and said with appreciation: “It’s because you have good mental resistance, otherwise I still wouldn’t have been able to save you. Work hard!”
Is this the praise of captain Chu? Xiao Ziling blinked his eyes in disbelief, and his face was full of surprise. Is this how simple it was to finally achieve the praise he had been striving for?
I didn’t do anything!
Seeing Xiao Ziling’s exaggerated expression, Chu Zhitian couldn’t help laughing. This smile made Xiao Ziling suddenly feel that the whole world had become warm, and the originally cold atmosphere suddenly became sunny. Xiao Ziling’s unconvinced, careful liver couldn’t help but beat violently a few times, and he felt like he was drooling a little again: this fascinating face! Why can’t he have such a face? No wonder so many women crawl on Chu Zhitian’s bed one after another. Once they succeed, they will have three possessions of wealth and power!
The dumbfounded Xiao Ziling ignited Chu Zhitian’s smile again, and then he struck Xiao Ziling’s head again while chuckling lowly: “Pay attention; the spirit-type zombies are nearby. Don’t lose your wits again.”
Xiao Ziling’s expression suddenly cleared. He straightened up, nodding his head repeatedly to express his understanding. It was just that he was depressed in his heart.
I originally wanted to express myself, but now it just seems to prove my unreliability.
During the same mental attack, Chu Zhitian was also in trouble; but when Xiao Ziling was attacked, he had to rely on Chu Zhitian to save him. Xiao Ziling felt completely useless here, and this reality was way too different from his expectations.
Preparing to perform well to erase the mistake just now, Xiao Ziling used his spiritual eyes to look at the surroundings more vigilantly and carefully. He also set up his not-so-skilled mental power as a barrier, enveloping his whole body, fully covering and arming himself, and vowed to absolutely not let this mental zombie find a gap to attack him again.
As soon as he walked twenty to thirty meters, Xiao Ziling felt that the barrier on his right hand had ripples, and it was obvious that other mental powers were trying to attack him. Turning his head abruptly and looking in that direction, he saw that a zombie was hiding behind the container at a distance of about 100 meters, quietly releasing his mental power to try to confuse Xiao Ziling, but he didn’t know that it had clearly appeared in Xiao Ziling’s spiritual eyes at this time.
“Brother Chu, there!” Xiao Ziling reminded Chu Zhitian beside him in a low voice, and he rushed directly there without hesitation.
In a blur, a figure passed by; in less than 3 seconds and from a hundred meters away, Xiao Ziling had arrived.
Xiao Ziling soared into the air and, with a slam, he landed a kick on the side wall of the container. After several consecutive steps in the air, he flew onto the top of the container. Looking down, Xiao Ziling could clearly see where the zombie was hiding. Without hesitation, he made two consecutive big leaps and came to the edge, then jumped down again. In mid-air, his right hand quickly drew the Tang knife tied behind his waist, and then used the force of the leap to slash at it.
The spirit-type zombie didn’t expect Xiao Ziling to come so quickly. Seeing that Xiao Ziling made such a fierce stab, it howled, turned around and ran away.
Such a pity–the knife missed the zombie because Xiao Ziling could not change his posture in the air, and he could only watch the zombie escape from the knife.
When he landed in a squat on the ground, Xiao Ziling watched the surroundings vigilantly. The damning spirit-type zombie disappeared again. It seems that the zombie’s hiding ability is very advanced, and his spiritual eyes can’t find it for a while.
At this time, Chu Zhitian had arrived, and seeing that Xiao Ziling was alone, he knew that the attack had not succeeded.
“Escaped?” Chu Zhitian asked.
“Yeah, the zombie ran away when it saw me. It disappeared by the time I landed, and I can’t see any traces of where it went.” Xiao Ziling replied regretfully.
“Its ability to hide itself is very strong, so even you can’t see it through your eyes…” Chu Zhitian touched his chin and thought. A zombie that can hide is too dangerous. It couldn’t be predicted when the zombie will come to test their defenses. They had to find it as soon as possible. Additionally, they had time constraints, and had no extra time to tangle with this zombie.
After thinking about it, Chu Zhitian raised his head and asked, “Xiaoling, how did you find it just now?”
“It tried to attack me. I made a barrier with mental power. After feeling the ripples, I used my spiritual eyes to check the direction of the attack. The zombie was here when I came to check it out.” Xiao Ziling elaborated on the situation at the time.
“It seems that the attack ability and concealment ability of this zombie can’t be used at the same time, so you could discern it a moment ago, but now you can’t.” Chu Zhitian understood the zombie’s ability and display method after pondering. “In this way, we have to wait until it attacks again and then seize this opportunity…”
Signaling Xiao Ziling to come close, Chu Zhitian and Xiao Ziling had a few quiet conversations, and then they moved apart.
The spirit zombie hiding in the dark looked at the scene suspiciously. It was not clear why the two people acted separately, but it didn’t pay much attention to this issue. For it, it is best to separate the two people and deal with them one-on-one. If it does it that way, then it doesn’t have to concern itself with hiding. It can focus on the offense, which will make it easier to overpower them. Thinking of this, it felt that its saliva was dripping out; finally it was possible to eat fresh food again.
A Giraffe Has Some Words: When the text said Chu Zhitian beckoned Xiaoling over to whisper in his ear, I was like– wooooo PDA already? Not in front of the zombies; Xiaoling is shy! LMAO
