Cai Hongqing, who was driving the car, glanced at the rearview mirror and found that the zombies behind them really didn’t seem to stop. So, he too said in surprise, “What’s going on? Isn’t this the level-four zombie’s territory? Or, are those zombies under its control?”
“Control? Level-four zombies aren’t able to control other zombies, are they? They’re not like level-five zombie leaders!” Sitting in the backseat, Chen Li responded confusedly.
Du Yuanxing stuck his head out of the car window to observe the situation behind.
They were driving fast, and had picked the roads with fewer zombies. But once they got near this area, more and more zombies began showing up.
A large number of zombies were coming from all directions, rushing toward their car fearlessly. It seemed that this area was no longer under a high-level zombie’s control, and the lower-level zombies were now free to come and leave.
The last time when they were here, this place was all quiet. But now, things were completely different.
“It’s not good! There are more and more zombies coming here, and their number is rising fast!” After a short while of observing, Du Yuanxing said frowningly.
At that moment, Long Qingying stood up on the car roof while carrying her katana. She stood on top of the car with her legs apart; the look in her face turned alert from bland.
She carried the katana with her left hand which was behind her back, while raising her right hand toward the zombie crowd behind the car, fingers spread and palm facing forward.
Every time some zombies were less than ten meters away from the car, she would slightly bend her fingers. Following her move, the surrounding metal objects, such as door frames, nails, and steel tubes would fly toward her from all directions.
These metal objects would gather together in front of her, then melt into a metal ball. The metal ball would boil in the air like molten metal in a melting pot. Before long, the molten metal would solidify and become countless sharp steel thorns, then fly at the zombies behind the car one after each other.
Puff! Put! Puff!
A series of noises were heard when the metal thorns went through the zombies’ bodies.
That was the reason why the others didn’t dare to offend Long Qingying. No one wanted hundreds of metal thorns piercing into their bodies!
Watching the metal thorns penetrate the heads of the zombies which were in the front of the crowd, the men in the car silently raised their heads to glance at the car roof. After that, they continued shooting the zombies in their heads which attempted to approach.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Roar! Roar…” Because of the gunshots, more and more zombies started to gather from all directions. Soon, the road before the car was completely blocked.
“There are zombies at the front too. The car can’t pass through.”
This car was able to knock away seven or eight zombies; but facing over ten zombies, it wouldn’t have a chance.
“What happened? Why are there more and more zombies appearing here? Where’s the high-level one?”
Seeing that more and more zombies were showing up, the people in the car all sensed that something was not right.
What was happening? Why was this area suddenly crowded with zombies? Since they entered this area a few minutes ago, about three-hundred zombies had shown up, and more had been gushing out from the surrounding buildings and alleys. A level-four zombie couldn’t possibly control so many ordinary zombies.
This block was surrounded by streets and shops and alleys. Had all these zombies been hiding in those places before they arrived?
Did they come out after they drove into this area?
At that moment, no one in the car had noticed that about three-hundred meters away from the zombie crowd, a figure was standing before a French window in a four-story building while looking at them.
The window glass was broken long ago. That figure was standing right there, such that as long as Du Yuanxing and his teammates raised their heads to glance in that direction, they would see it.
The figure wasn’t tall, only about four feet in height. It was fat, with a huge head. That head was as large as the combination of two human heads, looking very weird. In fact, it was combined with two heads indeed. Not only its head, but its body was also combined with two bodies, and that was why it looked fat.
Its face was indescribably unpleasant to look at. Even the word ‘ugly’ wasn’t enough to describe it; probably ‘disgusting’ would do! One could imagine it as two smashed human faces being put together; four eyes, two noses, two cracked mouths which had been put together!
Its entire head was weirdly out of shape, large and unsightly. The skin on its head had gone, leaving only a bloody flesh and wet hair sticking to it.
On the other side, Qiu Lili quietly leaped down from the top of her building and came to this area after sensing that zombie. She wanted to see that level-four zombie which had shown up suddenly. As a result, she was stunned by the way it looked on seeing the zombie from the roof of another building.
‘What the hell is that! That is way too… gross!’ She thought.
Qiu Lili took only one glance at it, then silently turned her eyes away without daring to look at it again.
As she had restrained her vibe entirely, this level-four zombie didn’t discover her. But to her surprise, she hadn’t sensed this zombie either before when it arrived. So, she didn’t know if it just came from another place, or had been hiding here the whole time.
Besides, she clearly sensed that all the ordinary zombies who had suddenly shown up in this area were summoned by the gross level-four zombie. Not only the ones before her eyes, but more ordinary zombies were gathering toward this area from a hundred meters away, hundreds of meters away, and even miles away.
Soon, this place would be filled up by ordinary zombies and become a city of zombies.
Qiu Lili sensed that the gross zombie had a very strong desire toward the people in the car. Its bloodthirsty vibe suffused the air, making her wanted to throw up.
How could such a zombie even exist?
Qiu Lili didn’t understand why the gross zombie was able to control so many ordinary zombies and make them all rush toward the car.
Normally, the zombies at level-five or below couldn’t possibly control so many ordinary zombies. Even a level-five zombie could only control a limited number of ordinary zombies.
Ordinary zombies didn’t have intelligence, but only instincts. Controlling them was like controlling puppets. To do that, one only needed to occupy their minds with its own.
However, the zombies at level-five or below weren’t able to spare such a strong willpower to control the minds of so many ordinary zombies. At most, they could spread their own vibes to make the surrounding ordinary zombies feel suppressed and move away.
On the other side, Du Yuanxing and his teammates had stopped their car already, as the zombies around them had gathered into a zombie wall and were charging at them.
