Chapter 59: Angry.

Noticing Mo Xiu's actions, Mo Qi felt a chill run down his spine.

He had already located the level 7 zombie, intending to figure out what other abilities it had before striking it down, to avoid any retaliatory attacks.

Mo Xiu probably also planned to capture the leader first, and his idea was not wrong, but he attracted the attention of the level 7 zombie first.

The high-ranking zombie with a bluish-gray face quickly commanded the two zombies beside it to rush forward, using their bodies to help it block Mo Xiu's supernatural power. Then, taking advantage of the chaos, it ran out of the warehouse.

Mo Xiu followed closely behind.

Seeing that her beloved had chosen to pursue despite the danger, Mo Qi's usually calm face finally showed anxiety, and she rushed out after him.

This surprised Cheng Cheng and Xie Wu, who had been by his side the whole time.

In my memory, Mo Qi was either sitting or lying down. He's been doing a little better lately; before, he practically needed Mo Xiu to feed him everything he ate.

They had known Mo Qi for so long, and they had never seen him run so fast!

When the people at the Shanhe Base saw Mo Xiu's actions, and with Xiong Gangyong shouting for them to come and help, they all followed.

That level seven zombie seemed to value its life highly, summoning a large number of zombies to follow it. Thus, unwittingly, Mo Xiu and Mo Qi attracted the most firepower.

As for the remaining enemies, they can be dealt with by Bai Su and his group.

As they pursued the level-seven zombies, the battle zone between the two teams gradually widened.

But right now, neither Mo Xiu nor Mo Qi can care about these things.

Since his body was enhanced, Mo Qi's speed is actually faster than that of a normal superhuman. But the key question is, how come this level seven zombie is faster than him?

Furthermore, Mo Xiu also possesses wind-type abilities. In the past, when his wind-type ability level was low, he often used this ability to speed up his movements.

Since her ability level improved, and with Mo Qi's reminder, Mo Xiu could even fly for short periods. At this speed, it was quite difficult for Mo Qi to catch up.

Especially that zombie, wasn't it running around in such a roundabout way? If he couldn't clearly see the zombie's movement trajectory with his divine sense, he would have suspected that the zombie could teleport.

However, seeing that Mo Xiu was unusually energetic, Mo Qi didn't interfere too much. After all, having cultivated for many years, he knew very well that some strength training required actual combat.

The previous opponents were all too weak. It's not easy to finally encounter a level seven zombie, so it's a good opportunity for my future partner to practice. Anyway, with him following behind to protect her, I definitely won't let Mo Xiu get into any trouble.

Of course, he wasn't just blindly following Mo Xiu; Mo Qi also kept an eye on the rest of the group. Occasionally, when his own people were struggling, he would secretly use his divine sense to help, taking care of many of the other high-level zombie minions.

Just as Mo Qi had predicted, this level seven zombie did indeed possess mental abilities, as well as speed abilities, which was why he could run so fast.

However, whether they are psychic ability users or zombies, they all have one thing in common: they are not as tough and resilient as their counterparts with other abilities, and their resistance to physical attacks is generally average.

Perhaps it was because the level seven zombie also realized that the people following it were not weak.

If it were to eliminate all the other zombies that had previously followed it, cooperated with it, and acted as its shield, it would be in danger.

So, relying on its familiarity with the terrain, the zombie rushed into a pharmaceutical factory building and hid inside.

Seeing this, Mo Qi raised an eyebrow. He thought to himself that this high-level zombie was even smarter than he had imagined. But what if it hid again? With his divine sense, he could find it no matter where it hid.

After everyone entered the building, the zombies that had been hiding inside came out, distracting them and injuring several people.

Fortunately, the injured team members were attacked by supernatural abilities, not scratched or bitten.

Seeing that the team was having a hard time holding off the zombies, Mo Xiu decided to stop and help clear out the more powerful ones before continuing to follow Mo Qi's guidance deeper into the area.

Both of them were very fast. Most of the members of the superpowered team were busy dealing with zombies and had their own tasks to do.

Those with weaker abilities, like Lu Pingwan and Xie Wu, consciously followed behind, understanding the importance of not causing trouble or becoming the first to stick their necks out. Therefore, only Xiong Gangyong and Cheng Cheng remained behind them.

“There shouldn’t be any other zombies ahead, only level seven zombies hiding deep inside. You two should stop here.” Mo Qi turned back to Cheng Cheng and Xiong Gangyong and said, wanting to ensure their safety.

But these two brats were incredibly stubborn; they insisted on coming along and offered to help no matter what.

Mo Xiu and Mo Qi exchanged a glance, at a loss for what to do. Mo Xiu was even worried about Mo Qi's safety and wouldn't let him get close.

He then released wind blades, circling around them and occasionally tapping them. This was so that he could react in time should any danger arise that Mo Qi might not have noticed.

But Cheng Cheng quickly realized something was wrong. His plant-based superpowers were becoming unusable, just like the sluggish state he had at the beginning in the warehouse.

Upon hearing this, Mo Qi knew that the psychic zombie must be using its abilities again. Xiong Gangyong, upon hearing this, also quickly used his psychic weapon ability to wrap around his arm, only to find that the effect was indeed much less.

The original intention was to metallize the entire arm, but in the end, only half of the palm was metallized.

"What are we going to do? Now that our powers are both gone, we can't help Boss and Brother Mo anymore?" Cheng Cheng said dejectedly.

Mo Xiu and Mo Qi didn't have time to comfort the two of them. Soon, they heard a sound coming from not far ahead.

The level 7 zombie they had been chasing had actually appeared on its own. The zombie was wearing a white lab coat, so it was probably a researcher from this pharmaceutical factory.

His dry, ashen skin, sharp gray nails, and blood-red eyes made him look incredibly eerie.

Mo Xiu instantly tensed up, and Mo Qi behind him also sensed something unusual. He knew that the level seven zombie that had been hiding wouldn't appear out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, he felt the demonic energy within his body surging. This guy actually wanted to control the demonic energy within him?

Thinking about this, Mo Qi suddenly realized something. It's highly likely that the reason this mental zombie was able to control other zombies, besides its special ability, was also related to its control over demonic energy.

After all, the people here don't understand that, in Mo Qi's view, there is no such thing as a virus; it's just the result of demonic energy contamination.

However, a tiny zombie actually tried to manipulate the demonic energy in his body?

Mo Qi couldn't help but scoff, feeling that the other party was simply showing off their limited skills before an expert. He, the mighty Demon Lord, had lived for countless years in his past lives. Back when he was manipulating demonic energy, this guy didn't even exist yet.

But soon, Mo Qi realized that something was wrong.

He sensed a large amount of demonic energy surging outwards from his right rear. Mo Qi remembered that the person standing to his right rear seemed to be Xiong Gangyong.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of running accelerating and sharp weapons cutting through the air came over, the target being the direction where Mo Xiu was standing.

Almost instinctively, without a second of thought, Mo Qi rushed to Mo Xiu's side and raised his arm to block the attack for her.

Turning around, I saw Xiong Gangyong, his face deathly pale, already half-zombified. Not only had one of his arms successfully become metallic, but it had also transformed into the shape of a blade.

Just now, he was controlled by a level seven zombie and attacked Mo Xiu. However, because of Mo Qi's sudden appearance and defense, the knife did not hurt Mo Xiu, but only cut a deep wound on Mo Qi's arm.

Blood instantly soaked the man's clothes, but Mo Qi didn't even utter a sound.

He looked up at Xiong Gangyong across from him and saw that although the other man looked almost like a zombie, there was still humanity in his eyes. There was obvious struggle, resistance and fear in them. He did not want to hurt them.

"Ugh!" Da Yong managed to utter a note, but the next second his body was once again controlled by the level seven zombie.

"Mo Qi!"

Seeing the blood on Mo Qi's arm, Mo Xiu was shocked. But he didn't have time to feel sorry for him or curse him, because he quickly realized that something was wrong with Xiong Gangyong, and his face instantly turned very ugly.

Cheng Cheng's eyes quickly reddened from shock, because for all of them, once a human turned into this, it meant that they had become zombies and there was no hope left.

Even Mo Qi's eyes were filled with coldness at this moment.

He hadn't felt such pure disgust and anger in a long time; he had to admit, this level seven zombie had really annoyed him.

Mo Qi wasn't the only one angered. Mo Xiu unleashed her lightning-based abilities, desperately hurling them at the zombie's head. She even maximized her wind-based abilities to counter the zombie's teleportation.

Seeing this, the zombie tried to control the zombified Xiong Gangyong again.

Just as Da Yong was forced to continue attacking them, Mo Qi suddenly raised his hand, his five fingers forming a claw, and precisely gripped the top of the opponent's head.

Then, the man's divine sense extended, quickly and carefully enveloping Xiong Gangyong's brain. Afterward, he began to absorb a large amount of demonic energy from the other's body.

This was something Mo Qi had tried to do before. However, he wasn't skilled at it then, and originally planned to test it on Da Yong little by little to ensure the other party's safety.

Unexpectedly, this level seven zombie was quite clever. He noticed that something was wrong with Xiong Gangyong and him, and actually tried to mobilize the demonic energy within their bodies.

Finding himself unable to control himself, he reached out to Xiong Gangyong, catching Mo Qi completely off guard.

This was outside of Mo Qi's plan, leaving him feeling like he'd been tricked. However, in his world, those who tried to trip him up all met their demise later on.

Since he has decided to protect Xiong Gangyong, he will definitely make sure that his promise is fulfilled!
