Chapter 77

As night fell, on a remote and deserted road three kilometers away from Aurora Church, the sparks from the collision of various supernatural powers made the dark sky as bright as day.

Among these abilities, a cluster of black flames was particularly eye-catching. The flames were pitch black, with only a strange glow at the edges. They reduced everything they touched to ash, clearly demonstrating their extreme heat and destructive power.

The black flame's supernatural attack was so fierce that even the supernatural zombies were burned.

Even though the Aurora priests were A+ level psychics, they were vulnerable to the well-prepared attack of Lou Tiannan and others.

They could only watch helplessly as the high-level zombies they had painstakingly collected fell under the black flames.

At this moment, they had no time to care about the bishop's anger because they were not sure whether they could survive.

“Hehe——”

Under the indiscriminate attacks of a large number of high-level zombies and superpowered zombies, Priest Aurora was the first to fail and was seized by the zombies.

"Ah!" A white-robed priest stared at the claw marks on his arm with wide eyes in horror. The infection of the mutant zombies became more severe, and he quickly mutated. Before he could completely mutate, the zombies behind him ripped out his heart, and he died completely and fell to the snow.

“Hehe——”

The zombies with special abilities drool as they grab any special ability person in front of them. They want to tear their flesh and blood and take away their energy!

The people watching from the periphery were the first to notice something was wrong.

"Team Leader, a large number of zombies have been spotted moving towards this direction from the southeast!" they reported urgently.

"It must be the summons of the superpowered zombies!"

Someone has counted accurately that there are a total of seven mutant zombies in the carriages of these five trucks. The mutant zombies have a strong appeal to low-level zombies, so they have to eliminate the mutant zombies quickly!

Three of them have already been reduced to rotten meat under their attack.

Four more were searching the battlefield for their prey.

Lou Tiannan knocked the mutant zombie in front of him to the ground with a blow from his iron fist with black flames. The powerful fist directly dislocated the mutant zombie's jaw. Without waiting for the mutant zombie to resist again, he stepped on the zombie's chest with one foot and punched the zombie's face with the other fist, smashing the mutant zombie's head. Being in a susceptible period, he had unreasonable strength and used full force in every attack.

His body was incredibly hot, with energy particles active all over his body. With every punch he threw and every time he used his supernatural powers, the temperature would rise.

One could feel the astonishing heat from his body without even getting close to him. The snow on the roadside melted into water, which meandered everywhere...

Lou Tiannan became the most coveted existence among the superpowered zombies on the field, and also the most intimidating existence on the field.

Lin Bai did not follow Lou Tiannan on this mission.

There are too many people with special abilities in the Border Building, and they are all eager for this mission. Not only do they want to kill zombies, but they also want to see Lou Tiannan's abilities. Some of them held high positions in the federal army before the end of the world. Now they have to obey a young man in his twenties, so they naturally have some thoughts in their minds to confirm whether Lou Tiannan can really serve as the captain of the mission.

So Lin Bai was arranged to stay on the post. Of course, she would not stay there obediently. As soon as Lou Tiannan led the team away, she picked up Xiya and took over her post. After giving her a few instructions, she hurriedly left the border building wearing a mask.

She was going to Aurora's side hall.

In the pitch-black night, Lin Bai ran quickly on a remote path in the East Fifth District. In the darkness, her eyes were cold and deep. She held the half-melted amber in her palm, and her hair outside the mask flew in the wind.

She moved very quickly, with enough energy in her body to enable her to reach the fastest speed.

In less than ten minutes, she arrived outside the side hall.

She cautiously found a rooftop to wait and see, waiting for her opportunity.

Her fingers silently rubbed the half-melted amber in the palm of her palm, peeling off the excess resin from its surface, revealing its original appearance bit by bit.

It is a small piece of yellow candle, only the size of a thumb joint.

Just as the best way to hide a leaf is to place it in the forest, Xiao Hehua hid this small piece of yellow candle in resin amber.

She touched the communicator in her ear. Long before anyone knew, she had already sneaked into the channel led by Lou Tiannan.

Not long after the sound of fighting came from the communicator, she saw that the guards in the side hall were a little agitated.

She took advantage of the dark night and stuck to the wall, shutting down all the sound systems in her body, and approached the side hall silently like a truly inanimate object.

She was very close to the guards, no more than two meters away in a straight line, but no one noticed her.

The guards soon received an order to change shifts, and some of them had to go to the melee to provide support.

In the ten seconds when the guards were changing shifts, she was extremely bold and walked into the side hall, almost brushing against the guards' shoulders, sticking close to the wall.

The outer hall of the side hall was pitch black. There were layers of guards outside, and the security was tight, but there was not a single guard inside. This was within her expectations. Claire would not want others to know what was inside.

There were many decorations in the side hall, and in the winding passage there were exquisite plaster statues, armor standing in the corners, several boxes of canned food to conceal their presence, and so on. She turned on the night vision function and walked quickly in the passage past these boxes and statues without being affected. She was going underground.

That was her destination. When she passed a corner, the moment she raised her foot, the powerful instinctive crisis reminder and the instantaneous sense of risk avoidance in her body suddenly emerged.

Without much time to think, she instinctively leaned back and dodged the oncoming blade.

She took a step back and leaned against the wall to look at the person coming. When she saw who it was, her heart trembled slightly.

The passage, less than one meter wide, was completely occupied by a tall and strong figure as big as a mountain. He had short curly hair, dark pupils, and was two meters tall. His original ferocious and greedy expression was replaced by an expressionless face.

Lin Bai was very familiar with this person. It was Tek who died under her black blade!

How come he is here?!

Lin Bai clearly saw that many of his limbs had been replaced with metal, and his left hand, which had been cut off by her, had been replaced by a mechanical hand, emitting an icy light in the dark passage.

Tek's pupils were completely covered in black, the whites of his eyes had turned black, and some of the skin that had not been replaced was faintly visible with a rotten blue-black color.

This is a sign of zombie-ification.

Did he turn into a zombie after his death?

Various possibilities flashed through Lin Bai's mind. Who made Taike become like this?

Claire?

No, he doesn't have that ability.

Lin Bai didn't move.

Tyke didn't move either.

In the silence, Lin Bai heard the orderly footsteps behind Taike——

Can't get in.

She quickly retreated to evacuate, but the moment she moved, Tek also moved, and his mechanical metal hand turned into a claw and attacked her face!

Lin Bai retreated rapidly without touching the ground.

Blades as thin as cicada wings attacked her from all directions. Lin Bai pulled out the black blade to block the blades, moving backwards while blocking them.

As Tek moved, he also revealed the expressionless guards behind him.

After just one encounter, Lin Bai was shocked. Lisa, the Chang Qi brothers, Hu Dingguo, and others, those dead blood and bone superpowers and some people she didn't know were all here!

And judging from his appearance, he has become a zombie just like Tek.

Who made them like this?!

The zombie Tyke didn't answer Lin Bai. He made a hoarse sound and attacked Lin Bai fiercely. His attack was faster than any other zombie Lin Bai had ever seen!

But Lin Bai was in a position where she had no way to retreat. The moment he attacked, she stood there, motionless, her eyes staring straight at the metal fingers grabbing towards her.

The finger rapidly enlarged in her field of vision, and then... stopped.

Tek's metal finger paused in the air, and after two seconds, he seemed to have lost his target. He withdrew his hand and stood there like a puppet.

As expected...if I can't sense the breath and movement, I can't attack?

Amid the sirens, Lin Bai heard the panicked voices of the guards outside the door, who were in contact with the priests in the church.

Footsteps were heard at the door of the side hall, and those psychics who had turned into zombies disappeared silently into the darkness amidst the sounds.

"Your Majesty Bishop!"

Lin Bai heard someone shouting like this in the side hall.

Claire came in person?

As Tek was turning stiffly, Lin Bai ducked down and disappeared from Tek's sight. He looked around and quietly dodged behind a statue to hide his figure.

Tek in the passage stopped turning and turned back nimbly.

But this time the person in front of him was Claire.

Lin Bai clearly saw through the gap in the statue that even though Claire was moving, Tek did not attack her. Claire even stood in front of Tek and asked, "What happened?"

"Someone..." Taik's voice was dry and stiff, like gravel grinding against his vocal cords.

Lin Bai didn't expect that Tek, who had turned into a zombie, could still speak.

"Who?" Claire asked.

This time, Tyke didn't answer.

"Where is he?" Claire asked again

Taike didn't answer, just stood there.

Claire saw that Tyke, who was as frightened as a stick, looked anxious and asked again, "Did he break in?"

"No...no..." Tyke replied.

Claire was still worried. When she was about to cross Tek and head for the underground passage, she paused and narrowed her eyes. The dead don't lie. If the person didn't break in, then is the person still in this side hall?

He looked around carefully, at the ceiling and floor of the side hall, and finally his eyes stopped on the group of statues and supply boxes.

Claire walked over there without hesitation. After taking two steps, she heard Cook standing at the door of the side hall and said urgently, "Your Excellency, things have gotten serious over there. The federal patrol has also gone there."

"You go take care of it first. I'll be there shortly." Claire kept walking towards the statue in the corner. Five meters, three meters, two meters...

“Beep, beep, beep—”

A faint alarm sounded from deep in the side hall, and Claire stopped immediately. He turned his head to look in the direction of the alarm, and without bothering to check the statue, he turned around and ran towards the underground passage without hesitation.

Behind a statue less than a meter away from him, Lin Bai opened her eyes and buckled the energy battery on her left arm that was consuming energy. In order to make the alarm over there sound, she quickly lost power and let her consciousness and emotions fluctuate, triggering the alarm.

After Claire left, Lin Bai's energy ran out. She stood up and retreated decisively and quickly towards the door. Before leaving, she discovered the magnetic field interference shielding device in the corner of the side hall. She thought of what those psychics had said before: their psychics would be ineffective near the side hall. This was probably the reason.

She fished two grenades from her pocket.

In that case, let’s explode it to give her some energy!

…

Three seconds later, in the flames of the explosion, Lin Bai left the side hall.
