Yu Kui: “!”
He immediately let go and tried to run, but Eve was faster than him - she grabbed Yu Kui's wrist and held him tightly.
"You...bitch!" Yu Kui couldn't break free and kicked Eve in the chest, "Let me go!"
Eve fell to her knees after being kicked by him, but she raised her head as if she didn't feel any pain, and only mechanically repeated one word: "...Kill."
“Ouch!”
The next second, the third-level zombie stepped forward and bit Yu Kui's shoulder with such force that it actually tore off a piece of flesh!
“Ah——!!!” Yu Kui screamed in pain, not caring about Eve anymore. He swung his knife vigorously, trying to attack the zombie: “Don’t come over here!”
But the third-level zombie didn't take this attack seriously. With a wave of its iron claws, Yu Kui let out a scream and his right hand was immediately cut off.
Yu Kui's special ability has no effect on zombies, and his physical fitness is obviously not as strong as that of a third-level zombie. The only way out now is to escape from here, but there are zombies on both sides and there is no room to retreat.
But Yu Kui is in trouble, and Eve won't give him time to react.
She raised her head slightly and muttered something silently. More than a dozen zombies growled as if they had received an order and rushed forward in unison. Several arms grabbed Yu Kui's limbs and greedily tore his flesh. Yu Kui screamed in pain, but still could not stop the sharp fangs of the zombies.
In just a few seconds, he was gnawed until only a skeleton was left.
The others looked at the bloody scene, still in shock.
"Eve...Eve?" Fang Yong saw Eve standing there and thought she was fine. "Are you okay? Do you need me to heal you..."
An arm suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Don't go over there." Seven whispered.
Fang Yong: “?”
He was about to ask, but the next moment, a shrill scream suddenly rang in his ears!
Eve suddenly fell to her knees, her whole body twitching convulsively. The red light on her chest grew brighter and brighter, almost swallowing her whole.
Everyone was shocked: "Eve!"
Qi moved faster than anyone else. His light figure flew through the air like a black eagle. The next moment, he was in front of Eve, bending down and picking her up.
"Eve..." His pronunciation was not very clear, and it sounded as if there was a layer of water between them. "Wake up."
Eve's face was covered in sweat. She opened her eyes wide and shook her head vigorously as if she had seen something terrifying: "No...!"
Qi tightened his arms and said softly, as if he was afraid to disturb her: "It's okay, it's all a nightmare."
"Seven!" Fang Yong suddenly shouted.
"Zombies...!" he screamed, "So many zombies... they're all coming our way!"
Qiyidian, raise your head.
Apart from the zombies that were still eating Yu Kui's corpse, a new group appeared around. They opened their scarlet eyes and slowly walked out from the shadows around them, with saliva dripping from their mouths, and they looked malicious.
"Are these controlled by Eve?" Song Shuye hesitated.
Qi was silent for two seconds, then said, "Yes."
Before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, he added, "But they will kill us."
"What did you say?!" everyone was shocked.
"Eve is in a state of hallucination right now," Seven whispered, raising his hand to brush away a strand of hair that was stuck to Eve's face. "I don't know what she saw, but she must be in a state of extreme panic right now."
Once she feels threatened, she will suddenly spread out all the spines that can protect herself like a frightened hedgehog.
These zombies are her means of protecting herself.
Lin Bing understood what he meant: "You mean...she will attack everyone indiscriminately?"
Qi nodded slightly.
"Fuck!" Lin Bing cursed.
"Then what should we do now?" Fang Yong still couldn't believe it. "We can't just leave Eve here alone, right?!"
Seven said, "You guys go."
Everyone was stunned.
Qi's face was like a mask, expressionless as he spoke, "Queen Bee only wants Eve and me. You guys are just getting in the way by staying here. Get out of here now before those zombies get here."
Lin Bing angrily said, "What are you talking about? Eve saved all of us, are you asking us to abandon her?!"
Song Shuye also said: "Seven... You don't know the Queen Bee. They will never give up. Even if the group of people sent here die, there will be new ones soon..."
Qi suddenly raised his voice: "I know!"
Everyone was shocked.
"...You don't have to say it." Qi calmed down a little, but his expression was still cold. He glanced at Song Shuye coldly, "No one knows the style of the Queen Bee better than me."
Song Shuye was stunned. He felt that there was something more to the seventh sentence, but he didn't know where to start.
Seeing that the crowd refused to listen, Qi said, "You don't have to leave if you don't want to—but I won't care about you."
Without waiting for anyone's response, he lowered his head and whispered to Eve, "Eve? Can you hear me?"
Eve seemed to sense something. She stretched out her hand and grabbed his sleeve tightly. She raised her head, as if recognizing Qi's face. Her confused eyes suddenly shone with light: "...You!"
Qi's expression relaxed, and he was about to speak, but he heard her sternly say, "Give Qi back to me!"
Qi was stunned: "Eve? I'm here."
"Give it back to me!" Eve seemed to be immersed in her own world, glaring at Qi fiercely, "I'll give you one last chance... or I'll kill you!"
But before Qi could react, she seemed to have lost her patience. She waved her hand, and the surrounding zombies heard the sound and rushed towards Qi!
Qi cursed softly, touched the ground with his feet, and immediately retreated backwards. Wherever the shadow tail passed, the zombies' heads fell down like harvested wheat.
But no matter how fast Qi moved, the number of zombies summoned by Eve was too large. No sooner had he killed one batch than a new batch came rushing in. Even Qi began to feel overwhelmed. Just as he saw a zombie seize the opportunity and aim at the gap behind him, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Seven! Catch it!"
Qi raised his head reflexively, and a translucent long whip came out of the air, wrapped around his arm, and suddenly lifted both of them up, leading them away from the encirclement of zombies!
Song Shuye pulled the air whip hard, and Qi fell to the ground with Eve in his arms. He asked anxiously, "Are you okay?!"
Qi had just stood firm when he saw Lin Bing quickly step forward and punch Eve on the back of the head. The latter let out a short groan, tilted her head, and fell silent.
seven:"!"
His eyes were red and he was about to explode. Shoufeng and Fang Yong quickly held him down: "Wait! Don't be impulsive... She's fine!"
Qi couldn't help but stop his movements. Taking this opportunity, Lin Bing quickly grabbed Eve's shoulders and pulled, but failed to move her.
——Qi’s hands held her tightly, not moving at all.
Lin Bing: “…”
He had no choice but to let go and said, "I didn't use any force, I just knocked her unconscious."
Qi's dark eyes were fixed on Lin Bing. He put his finger under Eve's nose and found a few faint breaths. He was silent for a moment before saying, "...is it to stop the zombies?"
Lin Bing nodded: "Yes."
Now that Eve has lost consciousness, the zombies have suddenly lost their leader, and their originally orderly actions have begun to become chaotic. Although there are still a large number of them, the pressure on everyone has been reduced a lot.
Song Shuye said: "Let's leave now."
Several people nodded and rushed towards the city gate while killing zombies.
Qi held Eve in his arms and fell behind the group. He stared at her sleeping face for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and said as he passed by Lin Bing, "If you don't want to die, don't do this again next time."
He looked at Lin Bing deeply and rushed forward.
Lin Bing was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Fang Yong came to his side and asked curiously, "What's with that expression on your face? What did Qi just say to you?"
Lin Bing came back to his senses: "...Nothing."
Fang Yong: “?”
Lin Bing ignored him, turned her head away to cover up, and followed the crowd.
It was not until he walked to a corner where no one could see him that he took out his hand which had been hidden at his side. His arm was shaking constantly. Lin Bing took a deep breath and wiped it on his pants.
All sweat.
***
After losing Eve's control, the pressure on them to resist the zombies was suddenly relieved a lot. They fought all the way and finally got out of Zishui City.
"Jeep!" Song Shuye shouted as he left the city gate. "Three o'clock direction, hurry!"
Zishui City borders a small forest, and the jeep was parked at the entrance of the forest, hidden under the shade of the trees. Everyone ran over in a hurry, and just as they were about to get close to the jeep, Qi suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Fang Yong shouted, "Run!"
There were a few zombies following behind them, getting closer and closer to Qi.
Qi, however, looked solemn, staring at Jip with a sharp gaze. His nose twitched as if he was trying to identify the smell in the air, and suddenly he said, "Don't go over there."
Everyone subconsciously stopped.
Song Shuye swung the air whip, killing several zombies behind him, then looked at Qi: "Is there something wrong?"
Qi stared at the jeep and said slowly, "There's someone inside."
"Someone?!" Fang Yong was surprised and immediately turned to look at the jeep, but from his angle, there was not even a single person in the half-rolled window of the jeep.
Song Shuye took a few steps back: "You can't see it, they must have used their supernatural powers to hide it."
It goes without saying that the "they" he was referring to must be the queen bee.
Lin Bing's expression wasn't very good either: "You're here so soon?"
The most difficult thing is that they stole the jeep. If they rely on their own two legs, not to mention escaping from the Queen Bee's pursuit, the zombies they attract on the road will be enough to make them suffer.
But just as everyone was hesitating, Qi turned around and left with Eve in his arms.
Fang Yong: "Seven?!"
"Follow them," Song Shuye made a prompt decision, "No matter what, zombies are easier to deal with than queen bees." After all, they are facing a group of killers of unknown strength.
But at this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out in the air for no reason.
"Hahahaha," the voice, indistinguishable between male and female, scraped past the ears of everyone present. "Well said, wise judgment."
Everyone was shocked: "Queen Bee?!"
The moment the sound rang out, Qi immediately squatted down, stomped his feet on the ground, suddenly increased his speed, and rushed towards the distance like an arrow!
But before he could run more than ten meters, he crashed into an invisible wall with a "bang".
——It’s a barrier!
Qi's face changed slightly. The huge impact caused his right arm to break instantly, but he reacted extremely quickly. He picked up Eve with one hand, turned his body, and swung his shadow tail with a sharp wind towards the barrier.
“Bang!”
After a deafening muffled sound, the barrier suddenly became visible. It was a translucent wall, ten meters high. Spider-web-like cracks spread out where the wall touched the shadow tail. Qi's eyes sank slightly, and he was about to pursue the victory, but he heard the voice again.
"Humph," he sneered, "you do have some strength. No wonder you were able to kill Tie Feishi."
But then he changed the subject: "But...to face me, strength alone is not enough!"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw the wall suddenly cave in like water, and several transparent and soft arms stretched out from all sides, wrapped around Qi's shadow tail, and pressed him firmly against the wall!
Seven made a decision in an instant.
"Song Shuye!"
Song Shuye was stunned, but saw a black shadow flying in the air. He raised the air whip almost reflexively, and the whip wrapped around a soft object - it was Eve!
Before being completely imprisoned by the wall, Qi threw Eve out.
"run!"
Without having to repeat it seven times, Song Shuye picked up Eve and ran away.
"Old Song!" Lin Bing chased after him, breathing rapidly as he stood beside Song Shuye, "Aren't you going to help Qi?"
"They—the Queen Bee—came prepared this time!" Song Shuye said, "Didn't you see that special ability just now? It was specifically aimed at Qi!"
Presumably, the Queen Bee headquarters has received Yu Kui's information. Not only Qi, but also he, Lin Bing, and even Shou Feng and Fang Yong's information has been mastered by the Queen Bee. The killers they sent out this time must have been targeted according to the special abilities of several people!
"You can't fight!" Song Shuye said decisively, "If you fight, you will definitely lose. Run away first!"
After he finished yelling, he didn't see Lin Bing respond, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Lin..."
“Puff!”
"……cough!"
Song Shuye's throat stagnated and he lowered his head stiffly. A dagger pierced his chest, and the exposed tip dripped bright red blood.
Lin Bing whispered sinisterly in his ear, "Very good analysis. It seems you didn't grow a brain in vain."
Song Shuye slowly turned his head: "You..."
Lin Bing was facing him. It was clearly that familiar face, but she had a sinister and evil smile on her face and stared at Song Shuye intently: "Me?"
"You..." Song Shuye took a breath, his eyes alert, "You are not Lin Bing, who are you?!"
Lin Bing's eyes were pitch black, with almost no whites visible, as unfathomable as the deep sea.
He was stunned when he heard what Song Shuye said.
"Not bad, Captain Song," he laughed, his voice strangely charming, "Yes, I am indeed not Deputy Captain Lin."
"But..." He winked at Song Shuye, "I am not him, but I am him."
The next moment, Song Shuye had already attacked, and two air whips were whipped towards "Lin Bing" without hesitation!
"Ouch!" Lin Bing cried out, "How could you be so heartless? This is still Deputy Captain Lin's body!"
Song Shuye's movements froze.
"You possessed him?" he asked in surprise. "—Is this your special ability?!"
"Lin Bing" smiled.
"Yes, and by the way, let me remind you..."
A strange smile appeared on his face.
"When fighting," the pupil, with only black remaining, slowly turned to Song Shuye, "you can't talk to the enemy casually."
“Puff!”
There was a sound of something sharp piercing his body, and Song Shuye's body froze in mid-air - a sharp green sword went straight through his body and came out from his abdomen. A few strands of blood were hanging from the top of the sword, dripping onto the grass.
"Cough!" Song Shuye spat out a mouthful of blood, his pupils suddenly shrinking, "Qingfeng... Qingfeng Sword...?!"
A figure landed behind him.
He was a man with a stern face. He was very young, but his eyes were cold and aloof. His collar was buttoned up to the top, but the sleeve of his right arm was missing a piece, revealing half of a sharp sword, which reflected a green light in the sunlight.
Song Shuye took a breath.
Surprisingly... even Chang Qingfeng, the leader of the Twelve Cadres, is here?!
The wound on his abdomen was so severe that his vision was blurred by the pain. He staggered and fell to his knees. In his peripheral vision, he saw Shoufeng rushing up, seemingly wanting to help.
Song Shuye said with difficulty: "Guard... run..."
Facing a top master like Chang Qingfeng, the only outcome is death.
But he was still a step too late.
Song Shuye didn't even see how Chang Qingfeng drew his sword. The Qingfeng sword that was originally inserted in his abdomen suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, it appeared at the side of Shoufeng's neck.
"Shou Feng!!"
A scream was heard, and Song Shuye felt someone suddenly rushing up, followed by the sound of a sharp object piercing his body. Fang Yong groaned, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Shoufeng: "Fang..."
"run……"
Fang Yongcai said one word and his voice suddenly stopped.
Song Shuye raised his head with great effort. His abdomen was still bleeding profusely and his head began to feel dizzy. This originally easy action now seemed extremely difficult, but he still gritted his teeth and raised his head.
Then he saw Fang Yong's eyes that were still open in death.
Chang Qingfeng's sword stopped at the edge of his neck - he cut off Fang Yong's neck with a clean stroke of the sword.
For a moment, Song Shuye felt that the world in front of him suddenly turned black and white, but the next moment, his thoughts were pulled back by Shoufeng's shrill scream.
"Fang Yong!!" Shou Feng knelt beside Fang Yong's body, "No... Wait!!!"
Chang Qingfeng looked down at her condescendingly, his sword even dripping with Fang Yong's blood, and he was about to chop down Shoufeng.
Song Shuye: "You fucking...!"
He raised his hand with all his might and swung out an air whip, hitting the place where Qingfeng Sword and Changqingfeng's right arm were connected. The latter's aim deviated and just brushed the side of Shoufeng's neck.
"Shou Feng!" Song Shuye roared, "... go!"
Shoufeng was startled and raised her head blankly, her light brown eyes filled with tears. She looked at Song Shuye dully for a while before she seemed to come to her senses: "...Let's go?"
Song Shuye was speechless. He used up almost all his strength to hold on to Chang Qingfeng's sword, and spoke incoherently: "Go... find... Qi, let him come..."
The sound of people fighting could be heard not far away. It seemed that several people with special abilities had stopped Qi, and he couldn't get away at all.
Song Shuye knew very well that even if he, Shoufeng and Lin Bing were put together, they would not be a match for Chang Qingfeng. What's more, Lin Bing had been controlled by the enemy and was seriously injured. He was probably... not going to survive.
And Eve, who is the Queen Bee's main focus, is probably no longer able to hold on.
"Shoufeng, listen to this." The air whip broke into pieces. Song Shuye almost used all his strength to hold Chang Qingfeng back. "Don't worry about us. Run away first... Just wait until Qi comes..."
Even if Eve is taken away, as long as Shoufeng and Qi are there, they will surely be able to get her back...
He couldn't continue speaking and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chang Qingfeng looked on coldly.
"It's useless," the cold voice said, as if covered with frost. "No matter how hard you struggle, it's useless. The Queen Bee will remove all obstacles that stand in her way."
Song Shuye smiled lightly.
"Really?" he whispered. "But I don't think so."
Even if it's only a dozen seconds, as long as I can hold him back...
The next moment, Song Shuye suddenly turned over and threw something towards Chang Qingfeng!
“Bang!”
A sharp bang exploded in Chang Qingfeng's ears, and his eyes were suddenly covered by a burst of colorful light - Song Shuye threw a small firework at him!
It's the fireworks they use to attract zombies!
Song Shuye roared: "Go!"
Shoufeng no longer hesitated and sprinted out instantly, almost increasing his speed to the fastest. Song Shuye could only see a faint shadow quickly disappearing from his sight.
"……you!"
It was rare for Chang Qingfeng's usually cold and dignified voice to fluctuate. His eyes were injured by the fireworks and were tightly closed. His face was covered with blood and ash, and he looked very embarrassed.
But despite his obstructed vision, he still found Song Shuye's position accurately. With a flash of green light, the sword fiercely pierced into Song Shuye's palm: "You are looking for death!"
Song Shuye sneered.
"Anyway... people who offend Queen Bee will only end up dead, right?" He whispered, "Chang Qingfeng, listen to me—"
He raised his head hard.
"Don't think you can get away with it after doing so many bad things," he said, almost using all his strength, word by word, "I—Fang Yong and I, we will be waiting for you in hell!"
“Swish!”
Chang Qingfeng stabbed his neck with a sword.
Song Shuye coughed violently, blood spitting out of his mouth. He laughed miserably a few times and glared at Chang Qingfeng fiercely, but he finally ran out of breath and his head slowly lowered.
Chang Qingfeng wiped the filth from his eyes and slowly opened them. He walked to Song Shuye and looked at his body in silence for a few seconds, his eyes showing an unchanging expression.
After a while, he bent down, picked up the back of Eve's collar with one hand, and pulled, but failed to move it.
——Song Shuye’s hand tightly clasped Eve’s arm.
Chang Qingfeng was stunned for a moment and tried to pry it apart, but although Song Shuye was dead, he was surprisingly strong. It was as if his hand was welded to Eve's arm and could not be pulled off at all.
After trying several times, Chang Qingfeng quickly lost his patience. He swung the Qingfeng Sword and directly cut off Song Shuye's hand. He picked up Eve loosely and threw her over his shoulder.
Eve fell on her back on his shoulder, and the hair that originally covered her face tilted, revealing her facial features. Chang Qingfeng took a quick look and suddenly stopped.
This is not...
"Boss," a woman's voice suddenly rang out from beside him. "Hey? You're moving fast today. Have you finished it yet?"
Chang Qingfeng retracted the astonishment in his eyes and glanced at the visitor coldly: "Shesha, you are late."
The woman known as Shesha had smooth black hair and a slender figure. When she walked, the ends of her hair swayed behind her like the tail of a snake. She smiled gently and said, "As long as we arrive in time, that's all that matters."
She looked at Eve curiously: "Is this the mission objective?"
"Let's go," Chang Qingfeng ignored her, "Don't keep Mr. Wen waiting too long."
Shesha pouted: "It's not a big deal." Noticing Chang Qingfeng's gaze, she quickly put away her expression and said, "I know. Please wait a moment."
The woman smoothed her hair and swayed to the open space in front of them. She slid her foot onto the ground, leaving a trail in the shape of a "one". She raised her hand gracefully and said, "Please come in, Boss."
Chang Qingfeng stepped on that black line.
After he stood firm, Shesha stepped on him. She bit her right hand and put a drop of blood on Black Line's head.
The drop of blood quickly spread down along the black line and gradually merged with it. In a moment, the black line suddenly twisted and gradually expanded into the shape of a giant snake.
Chang Qingfeng and Shesha stood still, looking at the giant snake coldly.
The giant snake spit out its black tongue, suddenly opened a big mouth made of yellow sand, and pounced, swallowing Changqing Peak and the snake sand into its stomach.
It coiled its body into a ball, with yellow sand constantly rolling around it. The entire earth seemed to be boiling. After about ten seconds, the yellow sand began to fall, the ground calmed down, and the giant snake's body gradually dissolved. After another ten seconds, it had completely merged into the land.
There was complete silence at the spot, with no sign of the two people there.
