In an apocalypse overrun by zombies and full of lurking dangers, a saying has always circulated: "When light is devoured, it is the day of the Enigma's descent. They will become the king of...
Chapter 97
Lou Tiannan is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a strong build. His body is built with muscular muscles that are the result of years of fighting on the front lines with real swords and guns. His body is smooth, powerful and full of explosive power.
The iron fist wrapped in black flames, containing astonishing energy, struck Chen Xing, and each punch was accompanied by a sharp sound of wind.
The wall that was brushed by the fist wind was burned black.
Lou Tiannan did not hold back, and Chen Xing would not hold back either.
The tail of her silver-white hair flew in the air. She raised her head to avoid the iron fist, and then slashed Lou Tiannan's arm with a palm knife.
Lou Tiannan blocked Chen Xing's attack with his other hand and threw another punch very quickly. His fist was sharp and swift when he attacked, as decisive and powerful as a tiger's bite. The strong pressure that came towards him made even the bystanders breathless.
But Chen Xing will not be intimidated by Lou Tiannan.
Not to mention that her consciousness was stronger than that of ordinary people before, the energy accumulated in the apocalypse for more than a year, and the skills she had trained in the zombie tide of the apocalypse had already made her not afraid of anyone. Only others were afraid of her, and anyone who faced her would be skinned alive.
In the air-raid shelter, the two exchanged more than ten moves.
When Lou Tiannan and Chen Xing were fighting, a strange feeling came to his mind again. Even though Chen Xing was Lin Bai's ex-partner, did their moves really resemble each other so closely?
But under Chen Xing's attack, he could no longer concentrate on thinking about this question, and could only focus on dealing with Chen Xing's moves.
The two men were fighting fiercely, and the people watching were terrified.
I saw Lou Tiannan's punch miss the target and hit the wall, creating a hole and sending rubble flying.
Lou Tiannan dodged Shen Xing's kick, but the sharp energy that broke through the air smashed the hardware facilities of the air-raid shelter to pieces.
This fight is completely aimed at taking the other's life. One is the current Pope of Aurora, the savior of the apocalypse, Enigma, and the other is the only 3S-level mutant in the apocalypse, and the important figure who is now leading Baiyan to eliminate zombies. No matter who gets into trouble, it will not be good news for everyone.
Chen Xing and Lou Tiannan fought so loudly that they broke through the air-raid shelter.
Song Yan and others had thought about stepping forward to stop them, but there was an invisible wind wall around the two fighters, and others could not get close at all. They could only watch them fight fiercely.
Their movements also attracted the attention of the Federation and Aurora.
Both sides knew that it was Chen Xing and Lou Tiannan who were fighting, and wondered what was going on.
No matter how far they came, Claire rushed over. Seeing Chen Xing's ruthless attack on Lou Tiannan, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Chen Xing didn't like Lou Tiannan that much.
Wu Zeyue and He Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing worry in each other's eyes. Enigma and Lou Tiannan weren't getting along, what was going to happen?!
Chen Xing and Lou Tiannan, who had no idea what others were thinking, both felt that the fight was very enjoyable.
Lou Tiannan's anger had long been transformed into excitement towards an evenly matched opponent during his fight with Chen Xing.
This excitement is innate in every military Alpha, an uncontrollable hidden instinct, hidden in their bodies, in their pheromones, in every drop of their blood...
Maybe they will never be aroused in their entire life, but if it is aroused, it will make them so excited that their blood will burn.
Not to mention Chen Xing. After the training session that night, she had long wanted to fight Lou Tiannan.
When he was still Lin Bai, both the bionic man's body and the occasion were very limited.
But it's different now.
She can fight Lou Tiannan freely without worrying about her identity or any physical abnormalities.
The arrival of the end of the world, Claire's betrayal, Xiao Hehua's death, the recovery of memory... all these made Chen Xing need to vent, and her emotions were stuffed with too many things.
Heavy snow fell all over the sky.
The blood of both of them was burning hot, and the heavy snow falling towards them condensed into water droplets and dispersed into mist, which filled the space between them.
They fought for a long time, from the air-raid shelter to the ground, and finally Chen Xing kicked Lou Tiannan's iron fist in the air. The two men retreated several steps and ended the battle with no clear winner.
The scene was quiet for a long time.
No one dared to comment on this fight, but was secretly shocked by how powerful the two men were.
Surrounded by ice and snow, Lou Tiannan's blood boiled in his chest, and his fingers trembled slightly with extreme excitement. At that moment, he thought of Lin Bai. He finally understood the pride and pride in Lin Bai's tone when she talked about her partner. He had to admit that Chen Xing was dazzling and she was a natural strong person.
It seemed natural for Lin Bai to fall in love with her, and no wonder Lin Bai was reluctant to confirm their relationship. This fight caused a subtle change in Lou Tiannan's mood towards Chen Xing. He was not sure whether it was because he was still in a susceptible period and had the sequelae of being marked by Chen Xing, or because Chen Xing made him feel too much like Lin Bai, and his heart was beating extremely fast.
"Xingxing, are you okay?" Claire asked anxiously about Chen Xing's condition.
Claire's voice cooled Lou Tiannan's still boiling blood instantly, as if it was splashed with ice and snow.
He frowned as he saw the blond and handsome Claire half-embracing Chen Xing and asking about her health intimately and anxiously. Both of them were beautiful, and standing together, who could not sigh that they were a perfect match!
Chen Xing seemed to say something to him in a low voice, and Claire stopped talking.
To outsiders, at least in Lou Tiannan's eyes, the relationship between the two is close and ambiguous.
Lou Tiannan clenched his back teeth, and all his emotions turned into disgust. This frivolous woman who was used to flirting with other women!
No one else knew what Chen Xing said, only Cook, who was a little closer, heard it, but he wished he had not been born with these two ears.
He heard Chen Xing briefly say two words to Claire.
"Shut up."
The coldness in his words was even worse than the ice and snow in the sky.
This was the first time Claire was treated like this by Chen Xing. She felt confused and heartbroken, as if her heart was bleeding.
After the fight between the two ended, no one spoke, and they left in opposite directions surrounded by different crowds.
Claire returned to the church, waved everyone away, and with tears in her eyes, she asked Chen Xing: "Xingxing, did I do something wrong to make you angry? Please don't be angry with me, okay?"
He was used to using his looks to win Chen Xing's sympathy and pity. He didn't need to look in the mirror to know how tearful and helpless he was. Xingxing would definitely feel sorry for him, just like so many times before.
Chen Xing looked at Claire, thinking of his unfamiliar face when he'd colluded with Ebona, the lightning he'd struck at her, and even the Aurora zombies on the 17th floor... until she remembered Xiao Hehua, whom Claire had brought back and stored in a vacuum coffin. Her eyes flickered as she looked at Claire, softening slightly. Claire keenly sensed the change in Chen Xing's attitude. He thought his tears were working again, making him look even more pitiful. He pondered many reasons, like whether Xingxing was vulnerable, or whether Wu Zeyue had said something to Xingxing, or whether he had truly done something wrong...
Just as Chen Xing's lips moved slightly, about to speak, a priest reported from the door: "Your Holiness, the head of the Federation requests to speak with you."
The priest's message interrupted what Shen Xing wanted to say. She pushed away Claire who was still crying and walked towards the conference hall.
Claire looked at Chen Xing's departing figure with tearful eyes. The tears stopped and he took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Thinking of Chen Xing's distant attitude towards him during this period and the cold words just now, he clutched the bottle of potion brought by Ebona in the pocket of his white robe.
…
Conference Hall
Chen Xing knew the purpose of Wu Zeyue's coming again.
"Did Bai Yan's Lou Tiannan do anything to make you angry?" Wu Zeyue asked. She wanted to use a more gentle opening.
"It has nothing to do with you." Even though the person in front of him was the head of the federation, Chen Xing did not treat her well because of her identity.
Wu Zeyue was not angry at Chen Xing's cold reply. Thinking of how different Chen Xing was from others, she asked directly, "Chen Xing, what do you think?"
Yesterday, Wu Zeyue came to see Chen Xing. After telling Chen Xing the reason why she was researched, he told her the ultimate goal. Wu Zeyue hoped that she could help the Federation eliminate the Ebola virus and help mankind get out of the end of the world.
Chen Xing's blood is effective against the Ebona virus. Now that black bone zombies have appeared in the apocalypse, their infectiousness is even greater than before. Humanity urgently needs Chen Xing's help.
But at that time, Chen Xing was immersed in Xiao Hehua's affairs, and Wu Zeyue did not rush to ask her for an answer. She just asked her to think about it carefully. After she finished speaking, she left.
Chen Xing looked at Wu Zeyue, whose temples were covered in gray, and raised his eyelids. "What are you thinking about? What does the survival of mankind have to do with me?"
Wu Zeyue didn't expect Chen Xing's answer to be like this. Based on what Xiao Hehua had told her about Chen Xing's character and Chen Xing's moved expression yesterday, she thought that after she said so much yesterday, Chen Xing should agree to her. Who would have thought that Chen Xing would say so coldly that the survival of mankind had nothing to do with her.
She also wanted to try to persuade Chen Xing: "Dean Xiao Hehua has done so much for you, don't you care about her at all?"
"Commander, you might have misunderstood something. Xiao Hehua's sacrifice was for humanity, not just for me." Chen Xing lazily leaned back in his chair, staring directly at Wu Zeyue. "She sacrificed so much, yet she still died. The end of the world still arrived. Doesn't this just show how weak humanity is?"
"Survival of the fittest is the law of nature. For humans who cannot survive in the apocalypse on their own, it wouldn't be a pity if they were destroyed."
In the end, Wu Zeyue left in silence.
She looked much older from behind.
Chen Xing watched her back disappear around the corner. The tip of her nose twitched, and when she turned around, the corner of her eyes inadvertently swept across Cook Bo at the door. There was a hint of disgust in her eyes, a disgusting aura of an ugly thing.
She didn't care about the origin of the breath. She propped up her chin and thought of Lou Tiannan.
Thinking of him risking his life to blow up the giant cocoon, thinking of him refusing to join the Federation and establish White Flame, thinking of the pair of black blades he always carried with him, and the strong murderous intent that she had temporarily marked him with... In the end, it all came back to her second meeting with him as Chen Xing -
At that time, he thought she was dead, and she exuded a cold and silent aura.
What a conservative guy, she thought.
She hadn't even confirmed her relationship with him, yet she was willing to sacrifice her life for her.
How come he's just like Xiao Hehua, so stubborn...
Nice guy.
