Chapter 52 Rat
The piercing sound of car horns grew louder as they approached.
"Brother Xuan! Old Chen succeeded!" one of his men shouted at the top of his lungs.
Brother Xuan grinned and made a hand gesture, and dozens of people quickly retreated into the building on the side of the kindergarten.
A rusty red sedan lurched into the alleyway, and the man in the driver's seat slammed a brick against the accelerator.
He pushed open the car door, rolled on the spot, and ran desperately towards the side building.
"Aren, hurry up!" Brother Xuan shouted sharply.
The earth-elemental ability user named Ah Ren slapped the ground with both hands, instantly sealing off the stairwell with clods of earth.
Lu Nange and the others ran towards the gate. Hearing the car horns, He Zhuo shouted, "Are you crazy? Do you want to attract all the zombies in the city?"
Gangzi and Dongzi stood back to back, their pupils trembling as if in an earthquake—
A red sedan crashed violently into the gate, its rooftop horn still blaring a piercing horn.
A hundred meters behind the car, a horde of gray-black corpses surged forth like a flood bursting its banks.
"Brother Xuan, the door wasn't broken open!"
Xuan stood in front of the glass window on the second floor, raising his hands towards the direction of the kindergarten gate.
The withered branches on the kindergarten gate are growing and expanding at an alarming rate, and the crackling sound of the bark bursting is incessant.
"Back off!" Lu Nange's warning rang out at the same time as the door collapsed.
Gangzi and Dongzi instinctively took a few steps back.
The heavy iron gate crashed to the ground with a thud under the influence of the wood-based superpower, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Wei Hao rushed forward and grabbed Gangzi and Dongzi by the collar, dragging them backward.
A series of hurried footsteps came from the backyard, and Da Ge led a dozen or so survivors out.
"What's going on?" Da Ge asked loudly.
The stench of rotting zombies, accompanied by 'hoarse' sounds, had already been carried into the courtyard by the wind.
The dark purple lightning that Chi Yanzhou condensed in his hand rushed straight at the honking vehicle.
With a loud bang, the horn blared abruptly.
Lu Xici waved his hands repeatedly, and fireballs roared down on the horde of corpses.
With a few whooshing sounds, Lu Beiye's golden darts accurately pierced the heads of several zombies.
Lu Nan's Tang sword flashed coldly, and with a swift movement, he cleaved a skull in two.
The water jets from Gu Qi's fingers were extremely fine, yet they possessed the penetrating power of a high-pressure water gun, the water streams aimed directly at the zombie's brow.
From a side window, a henchman shouted excitedly, "Brother Xuan, just as you predicted, they have superhumans too!"
Brother Xuan gave a sinister smile: "When they've finished killing the zombies and are exhausted, that's when we can reap the benefits."
"Oh no! Brother Xuan, they're pushing the zombies out!"
Thirty seconds ago—
Lu Nange suddenly shouted, "Aye, could you make a door?"
Lu Beiye's forehead was beaded with sweat. He suddenly clasped his hands together, and a large, golden door slammed into the collapsed door frame.
"Brother Yanzhou, use lightning!" Lu Nange shouted.
Chi Yanzhou understood. The instant the lightning struck the gate, the entire golden gate transformed into a high-voltage electric grid, scorching the surging zombies into charred remains.
Inside the courtyard, swords clashed and blood splattered everywhere.
Lightning continued to rumble outside the door as Lu Xici threw fireballs out one by one.
The overexertion of their supernatural abilities left Chi Yanzhou and the others unsteady on their feet and swaying.
Lu Nange: "He Zhuo, Wanwan, stuff them with crystal cores!"
The two figures immediately withdrew from the battle and stuffed the crystal cores into the palms of Chi Yanzhou and the others.
Da Ge led the group, following Lu Nange, Chi Yi and others, who surrounded them and started hacking and slashing.
Inside and outside the door, the remains of zombies lay scattered everywhere.
"Huff... huff..."
Lu Beiye and the others knelt on the ground, their chests heaving violently, cold sweat dripping from their hair, their backs already soaked.
The golden gate crumbled inch by inch as Lu Beiye's supernatural powers were exhausted.
"Ah Ye!" Lu Nange stepped forward and scooped up her younger brother with her right arm.
The little guy's limp body made her heart tighten.
Turning to Lu Xici, he said to He Zhuo and the others, "Brother Zhuo, Brother Chi Yi, help my brother and the others up!"
Chi Yi and the others helped Chi Yanzhou and the others up and staggered to a relatively clean corner to settle them down.
Lu Nange looked at Da Ge: "Da Ge, block the door again!"
"Understood, Sister!" Da Ge wiped the blood from his face and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva: "Brothers, lift the door panel first!"
Lu Nange held Lu Beiye in one arm and bent down to search for crystal cores among the pile of corpses.
Soon, He Zhuo and the others joined the search for crystal cores, constantly giving the crystal cores they found to Chi Yanzhou and the others who were overdrawing their superpowers.
More than twenty thugs with menacing faces filed out from the side of the kindergarten.
The leader, Brother Xuan, slammed his machete against the ground and grinned maliciously, "Those who know what's good for them will hand over the supplies and women—"
He deliberately dragged out his words, "Maybe I'll be in a good mood and give you a good beating."
Da Ge and the others slammed down the door panel they had just propped up, grabbed their weapons, and turned to go outside.
Lu Nange was already irritated because the level-one crystal core had little effect on Lu Beiye. Upon hearing this, she looked up.
A murderous intent surged in his eyes: "Did you summon these zombies?"
Xuan Ge's lewd gaze swept over her: "Tsk tsk, she really is a gem."
How miserable it is to follow this bunch of good-for-nothings! Why not come to my arms and I guarantee you'll live the high life...
Zheng—
The dull thud of the Tang sword plunging into the ground cut off the foul language.
Lu Nange flipped her right hand, and a dart shot out, aiming straight for Brother Xuan's throat!
"Clang!" Ah Ren's tan shield suddenly bulged up, and the darts were deeply embedded in the clod of earth.
Brother Xuan's expression changed drastically: "You ungrateful wretch, I'll make you beg me to sleep with you..."
Several venomous vines shot out from his hand, hurtling towards Lu Nange's face with a whooshing sound!
Two figures suddenly sprang up at the base of the wall.
Chi Yanzhou's lightning and Lu Xici's fireball intertwined in the air, and the attacking vines were instantly carbonized in the interplay of lightning and fire, turning into black ash that drifted all over the sky.
The crystal core in Lu Beiye's arms turned into dust with a "poof," and the throwing knife whistled out.
However, Xuan Ge and Ah Ren joined forces to block it, sparks flying everywhere.
"You scum, I'll kill you!" Lu Beiye suddenly broke free from Lu Nange's embrace, his eyes filled with savage rage.
Chi Yanzhou followed Lu Beiye, his lightning bolt aimed at Xuan Ge.
On the other side, Lu Xici's fireballs bombarded Aren one after another.
Gu Qi's water jet followed, extinguishing the flames.
Lu Xici shouted, "Old Gu, we're like oil and water! You're a spy sent by the other side, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qi immediately turned around, and the water jet swept towards the remaining henchmen.
While keeping an eye on Lu Beiye's actions, Lu Nange led the group to deal with the other non-superpowered individuals.
When Xuan Ge was struck by lightning and collapsed to the ground in convulsions, Lu Beiye's eyes were filled with blood.
Three golden darts pierced Xuan Ge's eyes and throat with pinpoint accuracy, and blood gushed from his seven orifices.
The corpse lay sprawled in a pool of blood, its empty eye sockets still staring intently at Lu Beiye.
Upon seeing this, the surviving henchmen threw down their weapons and knelt down, begging for mercy.
A man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks trembled like a leaf, and a foul-smelling liquid seeped from under his trouser legs.
Ah Ren, who was being chased by fireballs and running for his life, suddenly collapsed at Da Ge's feet.
Tears streaming down his face, he cried, "Brother Da! Please save me! We've been through thick and thin together!"
It was all that bastard Xuan's fault that I was forced into this situation...
"Friendship?" Da Ge sneered, kicking Ah Ren: "You dare use that word?"
Ah Ren's eyes were filled with malice as he slammed his hand down on the ground.
"Boom!" Chi Yanzhou's lightning struck first, and Ah Ren's ferocious expression was forever frozen on his charred face.
The surviving henchmen screamed and scattered in all directions.
Gu Qi spread his five fingers, and a high-pressure water jet swept across the crowd, instantly knocking down most of them.
Da Ge stared silently at the mangled corpses scattered on the ground, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times.
His underlings behind him fell silent, even their breathing became soft.
Wei Hao: "Brother Da... if it weren't for Brother Ci and the others, he'd be lying here right now..."
Before he could finish speaking, Brother Da raised his hand to interrupt him.
Da Ge's eyes sharpened. He grabbed his blood-stained machete and forced out the words through gritted teeth: "Kill them!"
