"Lin Bing!" Fang Yong's blood almost froze in an instant, "You're crazy!!!"
He immediately tried to rush over, but was grabbed by Lin Bing, who yelled, "Run!"
Fang Yong was pushed hard by him, stumbled and fell to the ground, and said in a daze: "What..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a roar from not far away: "Fuck them! A bunch of idiots looking for death!"
Fang Yong subconsciously looked up, only to see Tie Feishi, who had been so smug just now, covering his right arm with blood gushing out of his body like a fountain, directly dyeing the ground beneath his feet red. A strong sweet and fishy smell exploded in the air, making people's stomachs churn.
The ice spikes pierced deeply into Tie Feishi's arm.
Looking at the deep hole on Eve's right shoulder, Fang Yong finally understood - Lin Bing's ice spike did not stop after piercing Eve. He used Eve's body as a cover, and his actual target was the iron flying stone!
The pain in his right arm made Tie Feishi unable to hold Eve up anymore, and he threw her to the ground with such a dull thud that it almost made one's teeth ache. However, Eve did not stop at all. As soon as she landed on the ground, she turned over and stood up, covering her bleeding shoulder and backing away.
Tie Feishi stood in front of Eve with bloodshot eyes.
"You... and you all...!" His deep voice was like thunder. "I've decided... you all must die!!!"
The heavy bleeding from her shoulder made Eve's movements a little slow. She took a few steps back and almost fell after stepping on a stone. Fortunately, Fang Yong came over and supported her.
Fang Yong said anxiously, "Don't move! I'll heal you now!"
He had just used his special ability for a moment when his hand was brushed away by Eve.
"No rush," Eve said, "Wait a moment."
When saying this, Eve's tone was nonchalant, as if she was not the one with a fountain of blood on her shoulder.
Fang Yong almost went crazy: "Are you looking for death!?"
Eve glanced at her shoulder. Fang Yong was very fast and the hole had healed halfway, but the bleeding had not stopped yet. Bright red blood was flowing down her arm, almost soaking her entire sleeve.
She took a deep breath and tore open her sleeve, and suddenly, a sweet smell of blood spread in the air.
Fang Yong was stunned: "...Eve?"
"Get behind me," Eve whispered, "but don't get too far away from me."
Her voice was so low that Fang Yong had to strain to hear it clearly.
"What did you say?" He had to ask again, "I..."
“Bang, bang, bang—!”
Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out in front of them!
——The Iron Flying Stone launched an attack.
He swung his arms and opened fire on both guns at full power. Bullets rained down on the three men like a dense and heavy rain. Lin Bing immediately pushed aside the ice layer and barely blocked the attack for the two people behind him.
But he couldn't hold on for long. In his efforts to stabilize the ice, his face flushed to the point of bleeding. He shouted hoarsely at Eve and the other two, "Run first!"
"Lin Bing..." A look of struggle flashed across Fang Yong's face, but he also knew that any further delay would only lead to the annihilation of the entire group. He bit his lip hard and turned to Eve, "Let's first..."
But Eve suddenly stood up: "She's here."
Fang Yong was stunned and subconsciously followed her gaze.
In the distance, a black dot was rapidly running towards them. The figure looked strangely familiar. Fang Yong struggled to identify it for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Shou... Shoufeng?!"
Didn't she escape? Why is she here again?!
Lin Bing also pulled away to take a look, and suddenly cursed: "Fuck! What's following her?!"
As soon as he mentioned it, Fang Yong discovered that Shoufeng had a long trail of tails hanging behind him. They were biting Shoufeng's footsteps tightly, and the yellow sand they kicked up almost swallowed up the surrounding scenery...
"It's...it's a zombie..." Fang Yong murmured.
——Following Shoufeng are hundreds of zombies!
Fang Yong was shocked: "Where did she attract so many zombies?!"
As Shoufeng and the zombies approached, they gradually felt the ground beneath their feet begin to shake. Even Tie Feishi sensed something was wrong and hesitated to stop attacking.
Out of the corner of her eye, Eve suddenly took a step forward.
"Lin Bing," Green Eyes stared at the zombies in the distance, but said to Lin Bing, "Listen to my instructions later. As soon as the zombies come over, you will remove the ice shield."
Lin Bing subconsciously retorted, "Don't order me..." But then he seemed to react and looked at Eve in shock, "...Wait, you want to control these zombies?!"
Eve smiled at him.
"It's just a few hundred," she said lightly, "It's not a difficult task."
Facing the astonished gazes of Lin Bing and Fang Yong, Eve raised her face, her eyes so bright that she seemed to have fallen into endless starlight.
The next second, countless blood spots shot out from her arms!
Those blood drops were like comets falling from the starry sky, dragging long red tails, and instantly sank into the eyebrows of the zombies in the front row!
Fang Yong was delighted: "Is it under control..."
“Ouch!”
But the next moment, the zombies suddenly burst into an earth-shaking roar.
The row of zombies controlled by Eve only paused for a moment before being swept under the feet of the wild zombies that came from behind!
"...No," Lin Bing's face suddenly darkened, "Shou Feng has attracted too many zombies!"
At this moment, Shoufeng had run into their sight, and the three of them could even clearly see her face - and the panicked expression.
"Zombie...nest..." She mouthed the words to the three people with difficulty, "—Zombies are rioting!"
Originally, she just wanted to lure a few zombies over for Eve to control, but she didn't expect to run into a zombie nest and lure all the zombies out.
But Shoufeng's reminder was too late.
In just a few seconds, the black swarm of zombies had passed her and pounced on everyone like hungry tigers. In just a moment, the gray ocean formed by them instantly submerged everyone!
"Come here!"
At the critical moment, Lin Bing suddenly opened the ice layer and set up a semicircular protective shield around his body. Fang Yong hurriedly hid in it. After a few seconds, Shoufeng rushed in like a bullet.
Everyone looked outside the protective shield in shock. Even through the thick layer of ice, they could vaguely see zombies lying on it, their hideous faces only a few centimeters away from them.
"This protective shield..." Fang Yong swallowed his saliva and asked anxiously, "Is it thick enough...?"
Lin Bing said with a sour face: "How should I know?!"
In the short dozen seconds they were talking, the shield had already begun to make creaking sounds, as if it was crumbling.
Lin Bing said angrily: "Damn it, if the shield is broken, we will all die!"
"But..." Fang Yong said cautiously, "At least that Tie Feishi can't survive."
The zombie tide came unexpectedly, and the position where they were standing blocked Tie Feishi's sight. He had no time to react at all, and was swallowed up by the swarm of zombies in a blink of an eye.
"Wait," Shoufeng suddenly said, "Where's Eve?"
The other two were stunned.
The protective shield was narrow to begin with, and the three of them were squeezed so tightly inside that they even missed Eve for a moment.
"Fuck!" Fang Yong immediately jumped up, "She's still outside!"
"What do you want to do?!" Lin Bing saw that the situation was not right and quickly grabbed him. "I'm warning you - if you don't want to die, you can get out!" Before Fang Yong could answer, he added, "But as soon as I open this protective shield, all of us will be buried with you!"
Fang Yong's steps couldn't help but slack off: "But..."
He looked anxiously outside the barrier. The place where Eve had originally stood was now covered by several zombies. There were iron-gray heads swarming everywhere, and there was no place to find her!
Shoufeng stood beside him, noticing Fang Yong's fluctuating emotions. He paused and whispered, "Forget it, she... Eve has already..."
Even if she could control the zombies, she would be powerless to fight against such a large number of zombies.
"...Fuck!" Fang Yong slammed the ice wall hard and cried out, "Why is this happening?!"
Obviously... obviously they were just one step away from leaving Zishui City!
But now, Eve has been swallowed by zombies, Qi and Song Shuye are blocked on the other side of the fire wall, unaware of the news. The three of them are hiding in the crumbling ice barrier, and it will only take a few minutes before the ice breaks and everyone dies.
"Shut up!" Lin Bing, sweating profusely, pressed against the ice and yelled at Fang Yong, "Why don't you heal me while you have time? Do you want to die faster?!"
The attack from Tie Feishi just now left several wounds on his body. Lin Bing was shot several times in the abdomen and was now bleeding.
Fang Yong was stunned, but he still understood the crux of the matter. He wiped his tears fiercely, moved closer to Lin Bing, and began to use his supernatural powers for him.
Lin Bing finally breathed a sigh of relief, exerted strength on his hands, and struggled to hold up the deformed ice barrier, trying to buy them a few minutes.
Suddenly, Shoufeng asked, "What is that?"
She pointed to a point outside the ice barrier, and the other two looked over subconsciously, but all they saw was a sea of zombie heads.
"What's wrong?" Fang Yong asked.
Shoufeng stood up suddenly.
"There's someone!" Her voice suddenly grew louder, her eyes fixed on that direction, almost glowing. "...I'm not mistaken! There's someone there!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a red light suddenly burst out from where Shoufeng was pointing.
At first, it was only a thin wisp, but then it began to expand slowly, bursting into brilliant light like a gorgeous firework. Wherever it passed, the zombies howled in panic, and retreated desperately for fear of being approached, as if they were afraid of the red light.
The three of them seemed to have a premonition and stared blankly at the place where the red light was blooming.
Fang Yong murmured: "Could it be..."
"boom--!"
The next moment, thousands of feet of red light shot up into the sky, interweaving in the sky. A crimson flower slowly bloomed, and the red light it emitted almost dyed the entire sky.
And under the blood flower, there stood a man.
She had red hair and green eyes, and her slender figure was almost swallowed by the red light, yet she gave people an irresistible and powerful presence. Her long, thin white neck was slightly raised, and a word slowly uttered from her rose-red lips: "Disperse."
In an instant, the crimson flower that was originally in bud suddenly blossomed, and the layers of petals continued to extend outward like the wings of a fluttering butterfly, and then turned into a red rain that filled the sky and floated down to the earth.
The zombies were originally roaring wildly, but they suddenly stopped roaring after being hit by the red rain. The red rain penetrated into their eyebrows like a living thing, and after penetrating into their skin, it suddenly flashed a red light and then disappeared without a trace.
The bloodlust and rage in the zombies' eyes gradually faded away. They lowered their heads and slowly moved towards Eve, like a group of pilgrims. They slowly knelt down in front of her and put their foreheads on the ground devoutly and meekly.
Eve stood in the center of the zombies, the dazzling scarlet flower outlining her silhouette and reflecting a thrilling light.
——She seemed to be standing in fire, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at her.
"This..." Fang Yong and the other two looked at Eve in astonishment.
Eve...she actually has such a powerful power...?!
“Damn it… Damn it…!”
Suddenly, there were some noises behind them.
A few people couldn't help but look back and saw Tie Feishi struggling to crawl out of the pile of zombies.
He seemed to have used a few zombie corpses to block the zombie tide for a while and luckily escaped. Now that he saw Eve controlling the zombies, he crawled out from the pile of dead bodies.
He stared at Eve, his eyes filled with shock—and greed.
"To think he has such a powerful ability..." he muttered, "This is much stronger than that kid Bai Shuichuan...!"
He has captured so many people with special abilities from all over the place for Queen Bee, but he has never seen anyone with the ability to control a large number of zombies like Eve. If he hands her over to Mr. Xiao Wen... his future will be very bright!
But before Tie Feishi could adjust his facial expression, Eve was already looking at him from afar.
She stared at Tie Feishi, and a ripple slowly spread across her emerald eyes.
Just like the song of a siren, Tie Feishi's mind was shaken, and for a moment he almost lost himself in that charming smile, but he reacted the next moment, and a sudden chill ran down his back.
Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he raised his two guns almost reflexively, but before he could pull the trigger, Eve had already spoken slowly.
She said only one word.
"kill."
“Ouch!”
Suddenly, sky-high roars exploded among the zombies. They were like a group of well-trained hunting dogs. After receiving the order from their master, they immediately rushed towards Tie Feishi impatiently. Before the opponent even had time to react, millions of fangs tore him into pieces in an instant!
"Ah!!" Tie Feishi screamed, "Stop... Stop now!!!"
He was in so much pain that his voice was almost distorted. He waved his arms desperately and fired bullets in all directions frantically and indiscriminately, but as soon as a zombie's head was blown off, three or four zombies quickly followed. They were like a group of ruthless machines, mechanically biting Tie Feishi's flesh. In just a few seconds, this strong man was bitten until only a thin layer of bloody skin was left.
His internal organs were torn off at random, and the zombies took a few bites of them before throwing them on the ground without interest. The rest of the zombies swarmed over and trampled them into a pile of rotten flesh. The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood. When the group of zombies dispersed, only a shapeless skeleton was left.
Looking at the scene before them, Fang Yong and the others couldn't help but turn pale.
Eve seemed to be unaffected by the disgusting smell. She slowly walked to Tie Feishi's skeleton and bent down to look at his body.
"So after you die, your arm will return to its original shape," she continued, her eyes gleaming with curiosity, even though Tie Feishi had become a skeleton. "I thought it would retain the shape of a gun."
Tie Feishi naturally couldn't answer, but Eve didn't care. She patted Bai Gu's head and stood up.
"Seven," she whispered.
As Eve finished her words, a dark shadow suddenly fell beside her.
——Qi knelt on one knee with his head bowed respectfully. His left hand was holding a round object. Upon closer inspection, it was Yan Yan's head.
Yan Yan died with his eyes wide open, his glare bulging as if wide open, his expression frozen in a moment of horror before he died.
Behind him, Song Shuye stumbled over with Bai Shuichuan in his arms. Both of them had marks of burns all over their bodies, looking like two dusty rats.
Fang Yong said in surprise: "Great! Are you all okay?!"
Song Shuye: "Thanks to Qi Sha Yan Yan, Bai Shuichuan and I..."
Before he could finish his words, a zombie beside him suddenly jumped up and knocked Song Shuye to the ground.
Everyone was shocked: "Song Shuye!"
Only Lin Bing stood up suddenly, his eyes piercing Eve like a knife: "...What do you mean?!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they realized that there was a flash of red light between the zombie's eyebrows - it was controlled by Eve!
Eve raised her hand, and the zombie stopped. Its fangs dripping with muddy saliva were just hanging above Song Shuye's neck, but its claws still grabbed his arms, pressing him firmly to the ground.
Eve ignored Lin Bing's questioning and said to Song Shuye, "Did you collude with them?"
"They?" In order to prevent the zombies from touching him, Song Shuye raised his head with great difficulty, his face turning blue as he gasped, "They are... Tie Feishi?"
Eve stared at him and nodded slowly.
If her guess was correct, Tie Feishi and the others should be searching everywhere for people with special abilities for the Queen Bee, such as Bai Shuichuan and her. The tasks issued by the Queen Bee were ostensibly to benefit ordinary people with abilities, but in fact they were tools to cover up Tie Feishi and the others' tracks.
But what roles did Song Shuye and Lin Bing play in this?
"Eve...what on earth do you want to do?!"
Lin Bing couldn't help but move. Eve turned her head and looked at him with a smile: "If you take another step forward, I will kill him."
"You're crazy!" Lin Bing's face turned pale. "We are teammates!"
"Teammate can betray too," Eve said.
Those clear green eyes stared at Song Shuye closely: "Answer me, are you in the same group with them?"
The zombie raised its fangs and pressed against Song Shuye's neck warningly.
"Gulp!"
Song Shuye heard the sound of his swallowing saliva, which hit his eardrums loudly. He took a deep breath and whispered, "...No."
"From the very beginning, we came to Zishui City only to rescue Baishuichuan. We never expected to encounter the Twelve Cadres here... nor did we expect them to suddenly attack us."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head with a desperate look.
Song Shuye knew in his heart how unreliable his words were - they and Tie Feishi belonged to the same Queen Bee, and they were not originally in the same camp as Eve. In addition, he had persuaded Eve to go to the headquarters last night...
Song Shuye wanted to slap himself three times.
Eve quietly observed Song Shuye's expression for a while, and suddenly curled the corners of her lips.
"I understand," she said briskly, "then I'll believe you."
She snapped her fingers, and the zombie that had been clinging to Song Shuye like a gecko loosened its claws and retreated silently.
Song Shuye was lying on the ground. He didn't expect Eve to let him go so easily, and he was unable to react for a while.
"You..." He hesitated, "Aren't you afraid that I'm lying?"
"Well," Eve said, "I didn't think you were in collusion from the beginning."
Song Shuye was stunned: "Why?"
"Didn't Tie Feishi want to kill you?" Eve tilted her head. "If you were in the same group, why would he do something so self-defeating?"
Under normal circumstances, in order to ensure that Eve could be captured alive, the more helpers the better, but Tie Feishi and Yan Yan's first action was to attack Lin Bing - this action has already made their position clear.
Lin Bing was surprised and said, "Then you still..."
Eve shrugged.
"I just wanted to see your reaction," she said with a smile, "I'm a little curious."
Lin Bing:?
"I&#@#*……!"
He almost rushed forward, but luckily Song Shuye grabbed him and said, "Stop making noise! Is this the time to make a fuss?!"
As soon as Lin Bing met his gaze, she seemed to subside.
Song Shuye said, "Tie Feishi and Yan Yan came prepared this time. Once the Queen Bee loses contact with them, she will definitely send new people to check on them."
"Besides, I've never seen more than two officers deployed on a single mission," he added. "This is enough to prove how much the Queen Bee values Eve and Seven..."
He suddenly stopped.
Lin Bing asked, "What's wrong?"
"...No!" Song Shuye's expression suddenly turned serious, "Where are they?!"
Everyone was confused as to who Song Shuye was referring to as "he". Fang Yong asked, stunned, "What do you mean?"
Eve showed a look of realization.
"...Yu Kui," she whispered, "He's gone."
Everyone then remembered that Yu Kui had never shown up at the beginning of the battle!
Lin Bing turned to Bai Shuichuan: "You were with him, didn't you see him?!"
Bai Shuichuan shook his head desperately: "No! He never got out of the car!"
But the jeep that Bai Shuichuan and his companions were riding in had already been burned down to only an iron frame. Everyone looked around the ruins for a long time but could not tell which ashes belonged to Yu Kui.
"...Is he dead?" Fang Yong said with hope, "Such a big fire, and there are zombies..."
Song Shuye shook his head.
"The cadres are all S-rank or above," he said, "don't underestimate them."
Didn't the Iron Flying Stone block the attack of the zombie tide? If it hadn't been for the Seven, Yan Yan would probably have escaped.
Song Shuye pondered for a moment and said to everyone seriously, "Check it again. If he escapes, it will be troublesome."
Everyone agreed and started searching the attachments.
Eve ordered the zombies to spread out and search for Yu Kui along the avenue, while she herself walked towards the road leading to the Zishui City Gate.
Shoufeng asked, "Where are you going?"
Eve: "It will be difficult for Yu Kui to survive alone in Zishui City. He will definitely choose to leave here first and then seek help."
——This is also the method with the highest chance of winning for him.
Everyone thought what Eve said made sense, so they turned around and headed towards the city gate.
Qi was walking at the back, but suddenly stopped.
"?" Eve asked, "What's wrong?"
Qi didn't answer, but raised his head slightly, his nose twitching, as if he was trying to identify something.
Eve stopped, turned to look at him, and said, "Seven? What did you find..."
He had barely finished speaking when Qi suddenly looked up, and the shadow tail instantly wrapped around Eve's waist. With a powerful swing, he pulled her to the right.
At the same time, three black knives suddenly shot out from the opposite corner and stabbed deeply into the ground - exactly where Eve was standing.
After Qi pulled Eve away, he immediately retracted Shadow Tail, kicked the ground, and rushed towards Xiaodao.
"Eve!"
But the next second, there was a sudden cry of surprise from the crowd behind him.
Qi's body paused, he seemed to realize something and slowly turned around.
Eve's figure came into his sight.
——Her face was pale, her head tilted at an unnatural angle, and several wisps of black smoke spread out from behind her, like fiddling with a stiff puppet, firmly imprisoning her body.
"seven……"
Eve uttered only one word from her bloodless mouth, and then she suddenly lost her voice as if it had been strangled.
The world was spinning in front of her, and she finally couldn't hold on any longer. She fell heavily to the ground and lost consciousness.
The author has something to say:
Eve: Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
