Chapter 22: Settlement of Grudges
Lin Zhongtang and Lin Ni could both smell the smell of burning hair. They watched helplessly as Chen Jingpang and his dozen or so men were burned to ashes by Gu Qinghan's two fireballs. They were so scared that they dared not move.
Gu Qinghan originally wanted to burn the father and daughter to death, but she didn't expect Lin Xiyue to gently pull her clothes and look at her aggrievedly. Gu Qinghan enjoyed Lin Xiyue's coquettishness the most, and then she could only let the fireball deviate from its trajectory and fly past their hair.
"Second uncle, and my dear cousin, long time no see! Didn't you want to see me? Didn't you want to occupy my house? What's the matter? Now that you see me, you don't say a word?"
Lin Xiyue walked closer to the two of them step by step, and every word he spoke felt like stepping on their hearts.
Lin Zhongtang and Lin Ni were so frightened that they dropped to their knees in front of Lin Xiyue, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Xiyue, Xiyue, we are family. We shouldn't have set our sights on your house. Please spare your sister and me. We're sorry, we're sorry. We promise we won't dare to do it again."
Seeing Lin Xiyue feeling very oppressed, Lin Ni also looked dissatisfied and begged for mercy perfunctorily: "Cousin, cousin, for the sake of grandpa and grandma, please spare my father and me this time. From now on, we will never dare to have any ideas about you again. This was all forced upon us by that fat guy. It has nothing to do with us. We are also victims..."
Lin Xiyue looked at the father and daughter whose eyes were still full of calculation and unwillingness to accept, and now they were shedding fake crocodile tears, which made her feel disgusted.
"Hmph! You colluded with Chen Jingpang and used a cannon to blow up my house. Now my house is destroyed by you. How do you want to settle this account?" Lin Xiyue walked closer to Lin Zhongtang and looked into his eyes.
"And in my last life, I treated you and your daughter with all my kindness and righteousness. Yet, you were ungrateful and, instead, turned your kindness against me by brutally murdering me. Humph! You and your daughter owe me a life, and now it's time to repay this blood debt."
Hearing Lin Xiyue's resentful words, Lin Zhongtang's heart sank. He knew there was no way out. He calmly stroked the dagger at his waist, his gaze fixed on Lin Xiyue, while also glancing quickly at his daughter, Lin Ni, who was standing beside him.
After looking at each other, the two understood each other and instantly made up their minds to fight to the death with Lin Xiyue, even if it meant a fight to the death.
Suddenly, without hesitation, Lin Zhongtang pulled out the dagger from his waist, flashing a cold light that made people shudder. At the same time, Lin Ni quickly took out a pistol from her bosom and pointed the black muzzle directly at Lin Xiyue.
In the blink of an eye, the two men launched their attacks almost at the same time, pouncing on Lin Xiyue like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, determined to put Lin Xiyue to death.
Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing, who had been observing all this silently, couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw this thrilling scene. They quickly used their wood and earth abilities to try to block the attacks of Lin Zhongtang and Lin Ni.
But Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing were too far away from Lin Xiyue to block it in time.
Especially Gu Qinghan, who was closest to Lin Xiyue, her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and she screamed in fear: "Xiyue, be careful!"
Gu Qinghan was so frightened by this scene that her face turned pale. She couldn't imagine how she would continue to live if Lin Xiyue met with an accident today. Lin Xiyue was as indispensable to her as the sunshine in her life. She absolutely couldn't live without Lin Xiyue.
However, Lin Xiyue had been prepared for this. She quickly activated her ice-based abilities, instantly forming a solid ice shield in front of her. The shield, as hard and smooth as transparent crystal, firmly blocked Lin Ni's bullet.
As Lin Xiyue unleashed his ice power, the air around them seemed to freeze, and a chilling aura spread like a tide around Lin Zhongtang and Lin Ni. In the blink of an eye, Lin Ni was frozen in place, and even the gun in her hand was frozen into a lump of ice.
"I didn't expect that even you have awakened ice powers." Lin Zhongtang said in astonishment. He had originally thought that he and his daughter could definitely kill Lin Xiyue together, but he had never expected that Lin Xiyue also possessed such a powerful ice power.
At this moment, the dagger in Lin Zhongtang's hand was only a centimeter away from Lin Xiyue, but it was firmly frozen in mid-air, as if time had frozen at this moment, and Lin Zhongtang was also frozen into an ice cube by Lin Xiyue.
Lin Xiyue said without any emotion, "Second Uncle, look at those zombies down there. They must be extremely hungry. Why don't you and your daughter be kind and go down together to feed the zombies? Let you also experience what it's like to be bitten by zombies."
Hearing Lin Xiyue say that he would throw them down to feed the zombies, Lin Zhongtang and Lin Ni widened their eyes in horror and struggled desperately, but they were firmly bound by the ice and could not move at all.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiyue waved his hands and threw the large block of ice that was freezing them towards the zombies downstairs. There was only a burst of tragic screams, and the zombies swarmed over, gnawing at the two people trapped in the ice.
Everything was over. The father and daughter were eaten by the zombies until not even a trace of them was left.
Gu Qinghan came back to his senses, walked quickly to Lin Xiyue's side, held her hand tightly, and asked with a worried look on his face: "Xiyue, are you okay? You scared me to death just now. Don't scare me like this again in the future."
Lin Xiyue shook his head, held her hand, and smiled, "I'm fine, I'm still fine! Honey, with you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."
Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing also came over. Ji Yuan gave a thumbs up and said, "Xiyue, it's a good thing you used your ice ability, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. If anything happened to you, what would happen to Qinghan? Those two father and daughter deserved it. Feeding them to the zombies would be too easy for them!" Du Luoqing also nodded and said, "Exactly, Xiaoyu is right."
Ji Yuan saw that Lin Xiyue's arm was slightly scratched and bleeding, so she released her wood-type ability. The emerald green vines in her palms emitted green light spots, which were sprinkled on Lin Xiyue's injured arm little by little. After treating for a while, Lin Xiyue's arm began to heal slowly.
Gu Qinghan held Lin Xiyue's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would suddenly disappear. She looked at Lin Xiyue tenderly and asked softly, "Where should we go next? Xixi, is there any place you particularly want to go? Or any plans?"
Lin Xiyue thought for a moment, then replied, "I think what we need most right now is to build a safe base of our own. After all, in this world full of zombies, having a safe place where we can rest and replenish our resources is very important."
Gu Qinghan nodded in agreement. She continued, "Then let's fight zombies while improving our abilities."
"Currently, the known methods for improving one's own superpowers involve using them in combat or absorbing the crystal cores from zombie heads. These crystal cores contain powerful energy and are the key to improving our strength. Therefore, we must collect all the crystal cores from all zombie heads.
However, these crystal cores are not pure and unadulterated; they contain numerous impurities. Directly absorbing them would not only fail to effectively enhance our abilities, but could also cause irreparable damage to our bodies. Therefore, before absorbing them, we must first remove all impurities from the crystal cores.
After some experimentation, Lin Xiyue discovered that the Pisces Dimension seemed to have the ability to purify impurities from the crystal core. This was undoubtedly an exciting discovery. The purification of the Pisces Dimension would not only help us absorb the energy from the crystal core smoothly, but also train us to release our inner powers while facilitating the search for a suitable location to establish a base.
Lin Xiyue carefully removed over twenty blue, translucent crystal cores from her Pisces space. These were the cores from the zombies she had just eliminated. She displayed them to everyone and explained, "These are the zombies that just died. They all have crystal cores in their heads. However, these cores have been purified and can be absorbed directly."
"Now we will divide the crystal cores, six each, and try to absorb them for the first time. After that, we can just fight zombies, because my Pisces space will automatically absorb the crystal cores in the heads of dead zombies."
