The two sides were about five to six meters apart. In this situation, Principal Wang and his group were at a disadvantage. Bai Zhi’s group had firearms, and at this distance, they could effectively eliminate their opponents.
Boom!
As Bai Zhi was still questioning the situation inside, the ground suddenly shook. It was a violent explosion from underground. It meant that the people inside had taken action.
Sensing that something was wrong, Principal Wang immediately turned to look at the exit of the iron gate.
"Now is the time to attack!" Xiao Feng called out.
His voice transmitted to everyone’s ears through their earpieces.
At the same time, Xiao Feng didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger.
Inside his Barrett was an M8-type armor-piercing round.
M8 Armor-Piercing Round: Damage: +100% Penetration: +100%
This armor-piercing round could double the damage and penetration, allowing even an evolved person to be easily shot through.
At the same moment, following Xiao Fen’s command, Black Wolf pulled out a hand grenade and threw it into the pond below.
Boom!
The grenade landed inside the iron gate.
With an explosion, the entrance of the iron gate was blown open.
Da-da-da!
Following that, the people behind Bai Zhi began to open fire on Principal Wang and his group.
Everything went according to the plan.
Bai Zhi, on the other hand, moved her hands, and waves of cold air sprayed from her palms.
Upon contact with the students, they were instantly frozen into ice statues.
Bullets were shot, immediately turning them into ice fragments.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
However, to Xiao Feng’s disappointment, when they sensed the ground shaking, Principal Wang, who was on high alert, immediately grabbed two of the physical education teachers and used them as human shields.
The cold attacks and gunfire were all blocked by the two teachers.
At the same time, an M8 armor-piercing round was rapidly shot from a distance.
It directly exploded one of the teachers’ heads.
Xiao Feng’s original target was Principal Wang’s head.
However, to everyone’s surprise, he had used the teachers as human shields. So, after the bullets passed through the teachers’ heads, they retained their power and pierced through Principal Wang’s shoulder. The bullets, fired from above, didn’t cause fatal damage to Principal Wang.
The five students and two teachers were killed instantly.
Principal Wang, who had planned to launch a surprise attack, never expected the opponents to be so fierce. They acted decisively and didn’t give him any room for thought.
After disposing of the two corpses, Principal Wang leaped into the pond during this brief opening.
"Grenades!" Bai Zhi signaled, and Black Wolf and the others immediately took out grenades, removed the safety pins, and tossed them into the pond.
However, something unexpected happened. The grenades that were thrown down earlier were thrown back up from below.
Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Instinctively, they all scrambled to get away, but Bai Zhi remained still.
A surge of cold air swept in, and the airborne grenades instantly turned into ice grenades.
Clang!
The grenades fell to the ground and shattered.
At this moment, Principal Wang leaped out of the pond, but he had undergone a drastic transformation.
The old and feeble appearance he had earlier was gone.
The gunfire resounded again, but the bullets struck him and fell to the ground.
"Fall back!" Without any hesitation, Bai Zhi immediately ordered everyone to retreat to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Bang!
Bai Zhi stomped on the ground, causing the ground to freeze and sharp ice spikes to jut out towards Principal Wang.
However, before the ice spikes reached Principal Wang, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Bai Zhi from a distance.
This ability...
Everyone watched in awe, reminded of when they saw Xiao Feng use a similar power in the restaurant.
"It’s telekinesis!" Bai Zhi managed to say through her earpiece to Xiao Feng.
"Telekinesis? Let’s see if you can dodge my bullets this time!" Xiao Feng snorted and fired another armor-piercing round.
Once again, his target was Principal Wang’s head.
As the bullet raced toward him, Principal Wang’s face changed dramatically when it got within ten meters of him.
He tilted his head slightly, and the bullet pierced through his ear, hitting the ground, and then disappeared.
"A sniper?" The pain of having his ear shot off thoroughly enraged Principal Wang.
Click, click!
Without any hesitation, Xiao Feng chambered another round, aimed at Principal Wang, and pulled the trigger.
Principal Wang’s telekinesis seemed to extend over a ten-meter range, allowing him to sense objects within that radius. However, the ten meters were too short when compared to the firing speed of the Barrett. He didn’t have time to evade the incoming attack.
As the bullet entered the range of his senses, Principal Wang immediately released Bai Zhi and focused all his telekinetic power on the bullet.
The telekinesis slowed the bullet’s speed, but Principal Wang lowered his head and narrowly avoided the shot.
Bai Zhi fell to the ground, clutching her throat, coughing several times, and quickly retreated.
Facing a formidable psychic-evolved opponent, Bai Zhi wisely chose to retreat, and she was supported by her team.
"Annie, go!"
Xiao Feng’s voice came through their earpieces.
"Annie? You still have a backup plan!" Bai Zhi muttered.
To her surprise, a little girl holding a teddy bear approached them from the distance, skipping towards them.
Bai Zhi had seen this little girl at the restaurant but hadn’t paid her much attention.
However, little did she know that Xiao Feng’s trump card was none other than this girl.
"Bai Zhi, go to the back and support Fatty and the others. Make sure to rescue everyone!" Xiao Feng ordered her.
"Understood!" Bai Zhi responded and led her team to retreat to the rear.
But as she left, she witnessed something she hadn’t expected. Annie tossed the teddy bear from her hand.
The bear landed on the ground, grew taller upon impact, and turned into a colossal, three to four-meter-tall rotting zombie.
"She... she’s a zombie!"
At that moment, Bai Zhi realized that the seemingly unnoticeable little girl was, in fact, a zombie.
"Kuma, grab him for me!" Annie, with her hands on her hips, haughtily commanded the rotting zombie.
Boom!
The massive rotting zombie started charging forward like a bulldozer, heading straight for Principal Wang.
"Damn it!" Principal Wang watched as Bai Zhi and her team retreated, then turned to see the approaching rotting zombie. He tried to use his telekinesis to stop it.
However, using telekinesis required a significant amount of mental energy. Previously blocking the bullets had already consumed most of his mental energy. Now, he was unable to even budge the colossal rotting zombie, which weighed over 500 kilograms.
Bang, bang, bang!
Reluctantly, Principal Wang used telekinesis to control things on the ground, trying to attack the rotting zombie. But to the rotting zombie, these objects felt like tickles.
While psychic abilities were powerful, they were useless against a colossal rotting zombie like this.
Realizing he was overmatched, Principal Wang turned to run.
Boom!
However, just as he turned, a bullet pierced through his chest.
His body slumped to the ground as he fell.
