Chapter 107: Predator's Desire for Food

Ou Zekun's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the surrounding wind seemed to know his intentions, twisting its body actively around him. Several wind eyes quickly decomposed in front of Ou Zekun, turning into a large number of small wind blades.

After seeing the murderous intent in Ou Zekun's eyes, Wen Haoyan had not yet reacted when his cheeks, forehead, chest, thighs, waist, and arteries on the sides of his neck had been scraped back and forth by countless wind blades.

By the time he realized something, his consciousness and mind had begun to blur.

Ou Zekun was very close to Wen Haoyan, and his clothes and face were splattered with blood. The warm, bright red blood made his heart beat violently.

Ou Zekun turned around with blood all over his face and looked at Meng Jiayu. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Meng Jiayu suddenly wave her hand, and a splash of water hit the burning tent. The fire became smaller, but it still did not stop.

Meng Jiayu originally wanted to become a hero who saved people at this time, so that Ou Zekun would be grateful to her. But who knew that her water element was so weak that she couldn't even extinguish an ordinary flame that had lost the control of the power user.

When she saw the look in Ou Zekun's eyes as he stared at her, her ankles went weak and she almost fell to the ground. If Gong Sha hadn't supported her, she would have fallen.

Meng Jiayu, knowing that she had failed to perform and instead made things worse, did not dare to speak. She looked at Tang Mingyue. Zhao Li and several men present suddenly turned around and took the basins and bags that she usually used to store water to put out the fire. They also continued to release their special powers to help put out the fire.

Without the control of the psychic, the flames were no different from ordinary fires. After the fire was extinguished, everyone looked at Ou Zekun with lingering fear.

Killing. This was not a zombie, but a living person. Those who had not awakened their superpowers and had been curled up in the corner since the end of the world suddenly felt a chill all over their bodies.

But no one dared to speak. In the last days, the weak depended on the strong to survive.

Becoming strong is the key to survival in the end times.

Although Fengcheng is only a small third-tier city, its population is nearly eight million. It has been more than ten days since the apocalypse, and even if there are still people hiding in the city, the possibility of survival is not high.

Eight million people, except for a small number who have escaped, are all locked in this small city forever.

In a public hospital in the center of Fengcheng, a piercing shriek suddenly sounded. This sound was like a metal gear stuck in the belt of a power machine, and the noise caused by the failure could stand out from the noisy sounds and reach every corner within a hundred kilometers.

As the screaming sound gradually died down, at the entrance of the hospital ward where the sound originated, a woman in a blue and white striped hospital gown was walking out step by step.

She had reddish-brown hair, which must have been dyed before the end of the world. Her blue-white hospital gown made her look extremely pale and sick. She had a splint on her leg, which must have been caused by some accident before the end of the world. There was a piece of a retention needle on her arm, which was used exclusively by patients in the ward. The blood that had seeped out of it had turned black and solidified in the retention tube.

She raised her head and looked at the sunlight in the sky. Her pale and abnormal face was expressionless. Her eyes illuminated by the sunlight had no pupils, only a tiny pupil that stood up like a cat's eye when it encountered light.

She looked at the inside of the hospital and her fellow humans who were walking aimlessly in front of her. Suddenly, she stopped, opened her mouth, raised her head and let out a sharp scream.

"upbraid!"

Several zombies wandering nearby suddenly seemed to have a target and rushed towards her location.

A dozen zombies seemed to have received some kind of instructions. They surrounded the woman and then stopped, with their heads down, not moving.

The long-haired woman stretched out her bony, pale hand and suddenly inserted it into the top of the nearest zombie's head. As easy as opening the pull ring of a can of beverage, she opened its skull. Then she reached into the zombie's head and grabbed a crystal core in her hand.

In the sunlight, the woman opened her crimson-purple mouth, revealing her jagged animal-like fangs. She stuffed the crystal core in her hand into her mouth, chewed it for a while, and then swallowed it.

The zombie whose crystal core was dug out fell to the ground instantly, ending its short zombie career.

The zombies surrounding her had no idea of their current situation, and were waiting for the woman's favor like moths to a flame. Soon, a large number of zombies had fallen around the woman, and the crystal core of each zombie's head had been dug out.

After the woman had a feast of crystal cores, her body had also undergone some changes. Although her pale skin was still sickly white, it was no longer as stiff as it was at the beginning. She seemed to have noticed this change herself, moving her neck excitedly, and curiously looking at the retention needles on her arms and the fixation plates on her legs, and then she screamed again.

Predators' desire for food is often innate. They know how to stand out from their competitors and become stronger.

Not only in Fengcheng hospitals, but also in some places around the world, some strange phenomena suddenly appeared.

Many densely populated areas were completely destroyed at the beginning of the apocalypse. However, satellite positioning by high-level officials of various countries found that a large number of zombie corpses suddenly appeared in a certain area of these places, and all the crystal cores and brains in the zombie heads disappeared, leaving only stiff and ugly bodies.

A special team of thirteen people including Xing Lie, along with Li Mingqi, Wang Minhai and Hua Xiaoting's family, drove two large military vehicles from S City and suddenly stopped at the entrance of the highway outside Fengcheng.

"Captain Xing, what's wrong? Why did you stop the car suddenly? Is there any problem?" Li Mingqi has been on high alert and has not relaxed since he started traveling with Xing Lie and the others.

They drove all the way from S City, and once encountered an attack by a small group of zombies. There were about 200 zombies, more than the ones they encountered in Sanxing Village that night.

A zombie swarm without high-level zombies would be like a pile of loose sand no matter how many there were. Xing Lie just asked them to stay in the car and not get out. After thirteen people got out of the car, they eliminated more than two hundred zombies in just over half an hour and dug out their zombie crystal cores.

After encountering the zombies, I thought I could travel smoothly all the way. To go to Kyoto, Fengcheng was a must-go place. Who knew that on the way to Fengcheng, a road was cut off by a large transport truck, and most of the cars on both sides were stuck in the sunken road cracks.

Xing Lie and his companions had no choice but to return to S City by the same route. They drove for more than a day from a longer road before returning to the same road to Fengcheng. They stopped by a gas station to refuel on the way and cleared more than a dozen zombies inside and outside the gas station. They passed by a farm with fields in the suburbs and encountered a wave of zombies while collecting supplies. Before arriving in Fengcheng, they did not encounter a single living person along the way.

Most of the roads and paths were blocked by vehicles of all sizes, and zombies gathered everywhere in the suburbs. With a few people without superpowers, they did not dare to take the main road into the city. It was two days later when they reached the outskirts of Fengcheng.

Coming from S City, the journey that was supposed to take a few hours took two days, which forced Xing Lie and the others to stop and think carefully. But at this moment, Xing Lie got off the car and frowned as he looked towards the direction of Fengcheng. Xiaowu, the raccoon cat prince and the other two found a tall tree, then jumped up and looked into Fengcheng.

"Boss, why has Fengcheng become so quiet? It seems like there are no zombies left."

Xiao Wu's special ability is wind-related. At this moment, two wind eyes suddenly appeared under his feet, carrying his feet and flying to a tree closer to Fengcheng to continue observing.

"That's not right, Boss. I remember that we resupplied at the small base station in Fengcheng before we went to S City. There were still many people stationed there at that time. It doesn't make sense that there would be no one in the camp after just a few days, right?"

Xing Lie listened to Xiao Wu's words with a frown on his face. Fengcheng seemed to be in a bad situation, and he didn't know if anyone in the camp was still alive.

If even the people in the camp did not survive, then Fengcheng might have become a dead city with no living people.
