Chapter 880: The Killer

At this point, the team's mission has been completed. After Liu Rui sent a flare into the air to indicate success, they spent the rest of the time attacking the mutant banyan tree as much as possible, hoping to contain it as much as possible and prevent it from causing trouble for other teams.

After waiting until the signal flares indicating that other teams had completed their missions were received, Liu Rui and his group looked at Lu Weiyi, "Qin... Qin..."

"I'll go see what's going on over at Qin Jin's end. You all retreat."

After the order was issued, each team decisively gave up the enemies they were fighting. Even though some of them were facing zombies that could be killed with just one kick, no one wasted time to give them a kick. They turned around and left so decisively that people suspected that they had lost the battle and were fleeing.

The mutant banyan tree, which was completely enraged, saw that they were about to leave and immediately stretched out countless branches to stop them. The phoenix once again used its provocative power to divert all the attention to itself.

With Lu Weiyi's help, Liu Rui and the others left smoothly, and he then rushed towards Qin Jin's direction.

In order to chase him, the roots of the entire banyan tree behind him all protruded out of the ground. Compared to the clumsy branches, these roots were extremely flexible. Even though some of them were as thick as an adult's waist, it still did not affect the speed of pursuit.

It was like countless giant earthworms poking out from the ground. As the pursuit distance increased, the ground was pried up. With such a big movement, the whole city seemed to have an earthquake.

Originally, Lu Weiyi thought that Qin Jin should be fighting fiercely with the zombie king here, but when he got closer, he found two zombies confronting each other quietly.

The zombies around were fighting and biting each other, using their superpowered bodies to do whatever they could. The scene was bloody and the air was filled with a strong stench of decay. The two people in the center looked at each other in silence.

When Lu Weiyi pushed away a circle of zombies and walked in, he heard the young zombie king on the opposite side suddenly turn towards him, with obvious murderous intent in his tone, "You... help... humans."

If it weren't for the hoarse and unpleasant voice, just by listening to the pause, Lu Weiyi would have thought he saw Liu Rui. He also realized that although the other party was looking at him, the words were obviously said to Qin Jin.

He looked at Qin Jin with strange eyes. Could it be that something unknown had happened that caused the two zombies, who both wanted each other's crystal core, to have the so-called resonance?

However, the main group had already evacuated at this time. In addition to the mutant banyan tree that was chasing him, the zombies that were originally led away by them were also gathering here. Lu Weiyi didn't have time to let Qin Jin waste time.

"We were good friends before," Qin Jin replied.

"Hello, friend, hehe..." The young zombie king seemed to want to show a sarcastic smile, but he has been expressionless since becoming a zombie. At this time, the untrained muscles on his face are completely out of control, and he looks a little hideous.

But the two of them still heard the hidden meaning in his words. Thinking of the mutated banyan tree he had contracted with, and the faint golden color in the mutant banyan tree's energy body, they both had a bad idea.

[We have to leave quickly] Lu Weiyi urged Qin Jin directly in his mind

Can you explore his memory? Qin Jin suddenly asked an irrelevant question, which made Lu Weiyi look sideways at him. Thinking that he would not do anything rash at this time, Lu Weiyi chose to believe him.

[You attract his attention, I will implement it, hurry up].

He could already hear the unobstructed footsteps of the zombie horde running towards them, thump thump thump, like a death warrant ringing in his ears.

【good】.

As Qin Jin's voice fell, a powerful pressure belonging to the zombie king suddenly exploded from Qin Jin's body. The black flames around him instantly ignited, like a cluster of protective flames. He suddenly ran towards the zombies opposite, and his speed was so fast that it was hard to defend against.

His physical fitness before the apocalypse also greatly improved his body's reactions after he became a zombie. In addition, after his consciousness was restored, his combat awareness and skills were beyond the reach of ordinary people. This made it impossible for the zombie king on the opposite side to react even after seeing his movements. He could only use his zombie body to withstand the impact of the opponent's sudden jump from a high place.

The SSS level is a qualitative leap for both psychics and zombies. Lu Weiyi is well aware of their physical toughness, but when he saw the arc on the young zombie king's chest, he had a new understanding of Qin Jin's skills and silently decided that he would never fight with this guy in the future.

Just when all the attention of the Zombie King was diverted by Qin Jin, Lu Weiyi's mental thread quietly stretched out towards the other party. When he was having difficulty dealing with the active attack by Qin Jin who was chasing him closely, the mental thread had already locked onto his long river of memory in the first time.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality it was only a moment. The SSS-level zombie immediately realized that he was being invaded by superpowers. He quickly built up a defense in his body and looked at Lu Weiyi with murderous eyes. He even ignored the attack from Qin Jin and attacked Lu Weiyi while summoning his energy bodies to join him.

His desperate momentum accelerated his speed, and when Qin Jin saw it, it was too late to stop him.

Knowing that Lu Weiyi was not very skilled, he was about to take back the energy wolf to help Lu Weiyi, but he saw countless daggers with blades facing outwards appearing in front of Lu Weiyi. While the young zombie king tried to attack him with his body, the sharp blades not only blocked the opponent's attack, but also reduced the energy body.

Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be an invisible and dangerous energy flow around, gradually forming a visible vortex, which quickly engulfed the young zombie king and his energy body.

Like a human being caught in a tornado, the young zombie king in front of Qin Jin was forced to rotate with the energy vortex. The clothes that just entered his body were completely shattered. Then, fine cuts began to appear on the body of the SSS-level zombie, which were a little longer than a fingernail. It can be seen that the weapon that attacked him was not large, but it was densely distributed all over the body. Together with the energy body that was caught in, the color of its body became lighter and lighter, and finally dissipated completely.

Qin Jin suspected that the so-called energy vortex before his eyes was most likely composed of countless invisible blades. The moment the Zombie King was involved, the blades began to leave marks on his body.

He looked at Lu Weiyi in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party really had a killer weapon in his hand. Even he himself might not be able to survive this kind of attack. If he was trapped in it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Unlike yesterday's embarrassment, Lu Weiyi now stood calmly without moving, with an unfathomable indifference on his face. At this moment, he finally showed the aura that a base controller should have.

Just when Qin Jin doubted that they could get rid of the zombie king today, Lu Weiyi suddenly ran towards him, jumped up and climbed onto his back, saying in a panicked voice, "Hurry up, run."

Qin Jin was stunned for a moment, but then he saw that the zombie king, which had turned into a residual shadow in the energy vortex, gradually became clearer -

The speed of the vortex slowed down again.

"Hurry up and speed up," Qin Jin couldn't help but urge.

Such a good opportunity.

"I've run out of fucking superpowers--" Lu Weiyi has been busy since he got here. Unlike Qin Jin who doesn't have to worry about the lives of his subordinates, he also has to keep an eye on the team in the base as much as possible, which consumes a huge amount of superpowers.

Coupled with this energy move, it is really difficult for him now, and he can't hold on for long.

Qin Jin carried the person on his back and ran away. He couldn't help but curse loudly. He was really the only one cooperating with the team at this time. How could he have lived for so long with such an unreliable captain?

In just a short while, the mutated banyan tree and the zombies chased after them again. Compared to the ease of shaking off the zombies yesterday, the mutated banyan tree was completely enraged today, and it looked like it would not stop until it killed them. It even left the city without any intention of relaxing.

Qin Jin didn't dare to take the other party back to the resting place directly, so he could only take a detour to another direction. However, the other party still didn't give up. He asked in despair, "Did you kill its entire family?"

"I had people attack its crystal core to see if we can get a piece off." Apart from feeling a little depressed due to the lack of supernatural powers, Lu Weiyi felt like he was on a high-speed train when being carried by Qin Jin between cities. It was quite comfortable once you got used to it. It would have been even better if there wasn't the cold wind blowing towards him.

Lu Weiyi, who had inhaled too much air, felt that his body might be filled with air.

Qin Jin was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. When they were circling the surrounding area for the second time, Lu Weiyi finally felt guilty and said, "It's okay. It will go back soon. Its owner is injured."

The contracted plants must protect their masters first. This is the information he got from the wood-type mutant. He thinks it should be the same for those who turned into zombies halfway.

Sure enough, when they turned to the third circle, the mutant banyan trees chasing them gradually became fewer and fewer, and finally retreated like a wave.

Even though he was just a zombie, Qin Jin still felt like he had run an ultra-long marathon. He put Lu Weiyi down, exhaled deeply, and his expression was a little dazed.

But Lu Weiyi didn't think anything was wrong. He even started to look around and asked him if he knew where they had gone.

"..." Qin Jin's gaze towards Lu Weiyi was indescribable, his tone was dazed, and when you listened carefully you could hear a bit of grinding of teeth, "The last time I was chased like this was probably during the special forces training. The instructor held real guns and forced us to run cross-country with heavy loads."

But Lu Weiyi didn't hear it and said very seriously, "Then you should thank me. I heard that you miss those days very much."

"Thank you!" Qin Jin repeated word by word and began to roll up his sleeves.

Lu Weiyi, realizing something was wrong, turned around and ran, and Qin Jin immediately chased after him.

By the time the two returned to the temporary resting place, the little energy that was left in each other's body had been used up completely, and they were so exhausted that they didn't even want to talk.

Lu Xiao had been waiting for a long time. At the entrance of the temporary rest area, there were dense footprints left by people pacing back and forth, and cigarette butts and ashes piled up in the corner.

"Why did you come back just now? Was it not going well? Are you injured?" Seeing that the two were safe, Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and strode forward to check on Lu Weiyi's condition.

"No, I took a detour to avoid being tracked." Lu Weiyi allowed him to check and tried to calm him down.

This feeling of being worried and cared for made Qin Jin's pace with him gradually slow down. The two of them were on a mission, but the other person was the one that everyone was worried about, and the person who was worried about him...

Qin Jin thought of countless faces in his mind, and in the end they all turned into a sigh.

"Hey, don't be envious, brother, the stuff is still for you." Ning Yuan's voice came from the front. At the same time, he took out a cup of water from the space and handed it over in a pretentious manner, "You've worked hard. Come, have a glass of water."

A towel appeared in his hand, "Can I help you wipe the sweat off?"

"Get lost."

"Hahaha".

The two of them chatted with each other, instantly easing the pretentious mood that was welling up in Qin Jin's heart.
