Chapter 42: Hell on Earth is such a costly fight...
Late at night, the cool moonlight fell from the sky like fine salt, and the originally quiet city gradually became lively again.
Zombies emerged from every corner like a surging tide, gradually filling the streets and alleys of Q City.
Normally, even a powerful A-level psychic would not choose to go out at this time, but today an extremely abnormal noise appeared on the street.
A well-made armored vehicle sped past on the road, and something could be vaguely seen tied to the roof - but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a group of living people!
Those people were tied up tightly, unable to move at all. Their bodies shivered in the cold wind, their eyes filled with fear and despair, like lambs about to be sent to the slaughterhouse.
The low roar of the armored vehicle's engine was particularly harsh in the night, and the zombies rushed towards this side like sharks that smelled blood.
"Isn't this a bit too much for us? There's no need to make such a big fuss..."
Listening to the sobbing and groaning overhead, the driver, Huangmao, instinctively tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He admitted he wasn't a pushover, but the thought of what he was about to do still left him feeling a bit reluctant.
"Why are you pretending? You've done a lot of bullying at the base, and now you're pretending to be so hypocritical."
The man with glasses sitting in the passenger seat rolled his eyes in disdain after hearing what the yellow-haired man said: "Don't worry, we don't need to do this ourselves."
After saying that, he stole another glance at the rearview mirror and whispered in Huangmao's ear, "Brother, we're all trying to survive. You know, Brother Gai hasn't been in a good mood lately and wants to have some fun. Aren't you afraid that he'll find fault with you again? If he wants to watch the fun, how can we refuse..."
After hearing this, Huangmao fell silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking about.
In the back seat, Bao Gai, who was dozing with his eyes closed, felt a little impatient. He felt that nothing had gone well for him recently.
First, a sudden civilian riot broke out at Tianyun Base. Who knew how that group of people had the audacity to even smash his windows? Bao Gai immediately wanted to kill them to vent his anger, but was stopped by other psychics. Even now, the unrest at the base hasn't completely subsided.
A few days ago, he had wanted to go out early in the morning to relax, but he happened to encounter a daring guy who broke into Tianyun's private territory! The arrogant attitude of the guy made Bao Gai even more angry.
Glasses did come up with a good idea, but before he could free his hands to clean up, his aunt, who had always doted on him, actually started to scold him, saying that a new order should be established in the base. To Bao Gai, this was simply a huge joke!
So, he decided to go all out and kidnapped a group of criminals who participated in the riot in the dead of night, preparing to use these people to stage a lively "show".
When he thought of the hot scene that was about to happen, Bao Gai couldn't help licking his rugged teeth. He couldn't wait any longer.
Not long after, the armored vehicle carrying the living people used as bait and a large group of zombies attracted by the vehicle arrived in front of the commercial building.
The dilapidated building stood quietly in the moonlight, like a ferocious beast waiting to devour its prey.
In the darkness, the roaring sounds in the building were faint and intermittent, making it impossible to clearly distinguish the source of the sound. One could only feel a chill running from the soles of one's feet to one's heart.
"Oh my god, why do I feel like there are fewer zombies here?"
Having said that, the aura of death that permeates the place is still so thick that it cannot be dispelled.
The zombies seemed to have smelled the scent of the living, and they gathered around the car from all corners. At some point, the roar of the engine stopped quietly, and this sudden silence seemed like some kind of malicious signal.
Without warning, the few living people on the roof, used as bait, were violently thrown to the ground covered with blood, flesh, and broken limbs by a dark shadow. They were immediately dizzy and dazed. These people were tied with gunpowder, like living bombs with no power to resist.
Seeing this scene, Bao Gai's mouth curled up. He straightened up with satisfaction and ordered with a grin, "Do it."
The next second, the middle-aged man sitting in the passenger seat took off his glasses. He looked straight out of the car, his needle-like pupils shining with a layer of silver light - mind control!
The eyes of the people who were still wailing and begging for mercy on the ground suddenly became empty and lifeless. Their thin bodies twitched slightly twice, and then they rushed into the building like crazy, followed closely by a group of hideous zombies.
Seeing this, Huang Mao gritted his teeth. Perhaps out of sympathy, he closed his eyes. At the same time, he heard a crisp snap of fingers behind him—the fuse was lit.
The loud "boom" sound obliterated everything, and the building shook violently one after another, almost collapsing.
Immediately afterwards, crackling sounds of explosions and the roars of zombies rang out one after another from the building. The red flames were like demons released from hell, raging in all directions with devastating force.
"Tsk, this fire...is not burning brightly enough."
A slightly dissatisfied voice came slowly from the back seat, as if hinting at something.
Hearing this, the man with glasses quickly poked the yellow-haired man's arm. The yellow-haired man didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He raised his hands, and a winding green light flashed in his eyes - wind!
Instantly, the night wind howled and fanned the flames, fanning the flames even further.
The raging sea of fire enveloped every corner of the building. The interior of the entire commercial center was like a red lotus hell. From time to time, burning corpses ran out of it, and the floating ashes emitted bursts of burnt stench.
Under the scorching heat, the air gradually twisted and deformed, as if the whole world was controlled by the flames, falling into the brink of chaos and collapse.
"Hahahaha—die! Die! Die!" Bao Gai excitedly stuck his head out of the car window and shouted, a crazy smile surging on his face. He stretched out his hand, and two bright red lights lit up in his narrow eyes, as if they were the source of fire.
In an instant, the blazing flames spread like a vicious dog being released, tearing around with its fangs and claws, about to ignite other surrounding buildings.
Just then, a ray of moonlight passed by, and Bao Gai's laughter stopped abruptly.
He only felt a piercing pain in his neck, as if something sharp had instantly cut through his skin, and the cold touch was approaching his throat little by little.
"Help..." Under the threat of death, Bao Gai's eyes were bloodshot and he was almost too frightened to make a sound. He saw the eyes of the god of death emitting red light.
At this critical moment, a black shadow used his hands to absorb the deadly knife light - this person was the fourth member of the team, who was responsible for protecting the safety of Bao Gai.
"Tsk—you, a black-hearted lackey, seem to be very protective of your master."
In the vast night, Gao Fengyuan, who hurried back, slowly floated out from the moonlight like a ghost. He exuded a biting cold air all over his body, and launched the attack again with a forced smile.
The knife was already in sight before the person arrived - the Alpha, who had always been careless and unruly, now had a gloomy face, and his crimson eyes were full of bloodshot. It was obvious that he was completely enraged by the shocking scene before him.
Nonsense! Anyone who finds their home destroyed by terrorists while saving the world would be tempted to kill! Furthermore, these scumbags clearly killed a large number of innocent people and even intended to cause large-scale destruction of public areas!
In this regard, Gao Fengyuan, who came from the peacekeeping force, would show no mercy.
As he spoke, Alpha firmly grasped the sharp long knife in his hand. With a slight shake of his wrist, he easily cut through the defense of the person in front of him.
"Puff--" accompanied by a teeth-grinding cutting sound, a large shadowed limb fell heavily to the ground, and blood gushed out instantly.
The shadow came to his senses and his body shook violently, followed by a shrill howl. He burst into tears and rolled on the ground in pain.
"Those who do evil will eventually perish." Gao Fengyuan looked down at the large pool of black blood vomited out of the man's mouth with a mocking look. He raised the laser knife again and took action without a moment's hesitation. He took the life of this evil executioner without hesitation.
"Stop him!" Bao Gai, who was frightened to death, let out a sharp scream like a broken gong.
He desperately mobilized all his supernatural powers, and the flames in the building suddenly became like the devil's abyss, biting towards Gao Fengyuan fiercely with a crazy force that wanted to destroy everything.
However, the fierce flames could not stop him even for a second. Gao Fengyuan cut through the air waves with a knife and strode out of the sea of fire, without a single scratch on his body.
【Swallow.】
Weird, monster!
Seeing this, Bao Gai, who had just managed to escape with his life, could no longer sit still. He abandoned the car and ran away like a rat in a sewer.
In the darkness of the night, Bao Gai's eyes, as big as green beans, looked around in panic. Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to hide in the place where there were the most zombies.
Although Bao Gai also knew that this was an extremely dangerous choice, at this moment, his fear of Gao Fengyuan had completely occupied his mind, making him unable to care about so much.
As long as he could get back to the base... He ran desperately, cursing and spitting in his heart.
Watching this scene, the yellow-haired man and the man with glasses in the car exchanged glances, each seeing deep fear in the other's eyes. The yellow-haired man gritted his teeth, as if to give himself courage, and headed towards where Gao Fengyuan was standing.
The armored vehicle, wrapped in green wind blades and silver-white mental power, attacked Gao Fengyuan swiftly like a ferocious beast!
However, this seemingly powerful attack was once again easily intercepted by Alpha. Their powers instantly vanished like bubbles upon contact with water, and at the same time, the armored vehicle neatly split in two, a sharp, cold light gleaming from the broken part of the vehicle.
Seeing this scene, Glasses and Yellow Hair's faces turned pale as paper in an instant. Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down their foreheads. The fear in their hearts seemed to seep out of their eyes and pores.
The man with glasses moved his lips a few times, as if he wanted to beg for mercy, but he never had the chance.
"Killing someone means paying with your life. It's only natural—" Gao Fengyuan, unharmed, walked to the front of the car and slowly raised the long knife in his hand. His eyes were filled with indifference. "If you have any complaints, go to hell and complain to the King of Hell."
