Chapter 60 Explosion.
Mo Qi is always decisive in his actions. He had naturally verified the feasibility of his method earlier, which is why he used this method to absorb the demonic energy in Xiong Gangyong's body.
If Mo Qi's original plan had been followed, Xiong Gangyong would have been completely safe. However, in this emergency, it's clear that he can't worry about that now.
Mo Qi thought to himself, "Save this kid's life is no problem. As for whether there will be any lasting effects, that depends on his fate!"
While thinking, the man increased the intensity of his absorption of demonic energy and completely enveloped the other party with his divine sense. He also kept a close eye on Mo Xiu's side.
Noticing that Mo Xiu was unable to accurately attack the opponent with her special ability due to the seventh-level zombie's teleportation ability, Mo Qi frowned.
With his current ability to manipulate divine sense, remotely draining the demonic energy from that guy's body, while strenuous, wasn't impossible. However, considering the strain on his body and the zombie's precise landmine-stepping behavior...
Killing him like this doesn't seem satisfying enough. Most importantly, judging from Mo Xiu's current state, he certainly won't find it satisfying!
Therefore, Mo Qi decided to use the other person's own methods against him.
Wasn't this level seven zombie the most skilled at manipulating demonic energy? Didn't it love using demonic energy to control and toy with them? If that's the case, then he'll let it taste the power of the Demon Lord.
Next, Mo Qi simply activated the demonic energy within the level seven zombie's body, causing its power to become unstable and its movements to become chaotic.
Zombies are driven by demonic energy. After the human consciousness is worn away, the invisible demonic energy takes over the body and gradually feeds, cultivates, and levels up based on instinct.
As their level increased, they developed new intelligence, which made them somewhat similar to some demons.
Mo Qi inexplicably thought of the White Bone Demon mentioned in the Journey to the West. Of course, the so-called Journey to the West story probably contains a lot of fiction. After all, humans just love writing stories about the gods they imagine.
Or perhaps it's not just gods; everything beyond their reach, everything high above them, could be incorporated into the story.
For example, even as the Demon Lord, he only later learned that there were people writing stories about him among the lower-level demon cultivators.
At first, he thought that if these people only wrote about how he aspired to become the Demon Lord and fabricated stories about how cunning and scheming he was, leaving the so-called righteous path powerless, then so be it.
But one time, when he traveled incognito, he saw "The Story of the Demon Lord and the Grand Elder", "The Overbearing Demon Lord Falls in Love with Me", and even "The Untold Story of the Demon Lord and the Righteous Immortal Venerable" on a stall. What the hell is this?!
Who wants to have anything to do with the wrinkled elder! And that immortal venerable one has absolutely nothing to do with me, okay?
Suddenly realizing that he shouldn't be thinking so far ahead at this critical juncture, Mo Qi could only comfort himself by saying that the longer one lives, the more things one can connect with.
However, despite having a lot of random thoughts running through his mind, Mo Qi didn't let it affect the work he was doing.
Thanks to his help, the level 7 zombie on the other side was finally affected in its mobility and was accurately hit on the head by Mo Xiu's lightning-type ability.
It must be said, however, that higher-level zombies are more resilient.
Even though the physical strength of zombies of the same level with psychic abilities is weaker than that of other types of zombies with similar abilities, Mo Xiu's solid power output still didn't kill the opponent in one go.
But the zombie on the other side still looked very disheveled, with half of its body charred black and most of its face burned, making it look even more ferocious.
The zombie let out an angry roar and actually threw a lightning ball at Mo Xiu and the others in return.
Although the power of that lightning ball was clearly not as great as Mo Xiu's, it was still a genuine lightning-based ability.
This change surprised Mo Xiu and Mo Qi. They originally thought that a dual-elemental zombie was powerful enough, but it turned out to be a triple-elemental one!
Mo Qi's biggest concern was that the zombie might have a backup plan, and now it seems that his precautions were correct. Judging from the power of the lightning ball, it was clear that it had used all its strength.
However, Mo Qi could understand why this zombie decided to use its lightning-based superpower, which was a powerful offensive move, so late.
Who could blame him when the person opposite him was Mo Xiu? Not only did he possess the same lightning-type ability as him, but it was also clear that Mo Xiu's level in lightning-type ability was higher than his.
Using this would only make Mo Xiu more wary.
As expected, Mo Xiu took a few steps back upon seeing the opponent's lightning-based ability. His previous attack on the level seven zombie was not entirely one-sided.
The opponent also launched an attack back, so it was a back-and-forth exchange, but Mo Xiu remained unharmed. This was partly because he dodged quickly enough, and partly because the protective talismans he carried were truly effective.
When Mo Xiu saw that the zombies seemed to be paying attention to Mo Qi and Cheng Cheng, she quickly retreated a distance so that she could protect them at any time.
When he turned around and saw the state of Mo Qi and Xiong Gangyong, his face immediately showed a surprised expression. Cheng Cheng, who was standing to the side, was just as shocked as he was.
Because they discovered that in just a short while, Xiong Gangyong's condition had greatly improved.
Mo Xiu had always known that Mo Qi wasn't afraid of the zombie virus and had ways to deal with low-level zombies. So when he first saw Mo Qi's actions, he assumed that the other party intended to directly eliminate the zombified Xiong Gangyong.
Although I felt a little reluctant, I knew there was nothing I could do about it.
Looking back at the current situation, it's completely different from what I expected.
Mo Qi wasn't trying to kill the other person; he was clearly saving someone!
The man, using some unknown method, somehow managed to neutralize the zombie virus from Da Yong's body. Xiong Gangyong's complexion had now returned to normal; although still somewhat pale, it was definitely the color of normal human skin.
The distinctive colors that had appeared on his fingernails and eyes after he mutated into a zombie had completely faded.
Doesn't all of this prove that Mo Qi really restored Xiong Gangyong from a state on the verge of complete zombie transformation back to human form?
"Boss! How did you do that? Dayong has actually recovered! Is he human again? Is he no longer a zombie?"
Cheng Cheng asked cautiously, though he was filled with anticipation, he was also afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want to hear.
Only when he saw Mo Qi on the other side nodding expressionlessly while continuing his work did the boy finally relax and reveal an excited expression.
"That's great! That's great! Boss, you're awesome!"
After spending this time together, Cheng Cheng considered Mo Qi's words to be absolute truths. Since the other party nodded, it meant it was definitely possible, so Cheng Cheng was completely relieved.
Good heavens! What kind of amazing boss did he find?!
Can anyone tell him why his boss is so powerful? He can even turn his teammates, who have turned into zombies, back into humans!
On the other side, Mo Xiu was also somewhat pleased to see this. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, because although he found Da Yong a bit of a nuisance, he didn't want him to die like this.
More importantly, if Mo Qi had such an ability, their life in the apocalypse would be much more secure.
Seeing that her sweetheart had given her such a big surprise without saying a word, Mo Xiu suddenly felt full of energy and became even more motivated to fight the zombies.
Mo Xiu turned her head, her sharp eyes fixed on the level seven zombie. She also chose to unleash her ultimate move, combining her wind and lightning abilities in a single attack.
Although doing so would deplete a large amount of his supernatural power in a short period of time, he no longer had the patience to fight a protracted war with the enemy.
With Mo Xiu's relentless attacks and Mo Qi's covert assistance, the zombie quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. It seemed to realize that it was no match for the human on the other side and angrily let out a piercing roar.
The zombie had numerous wounds on its body, and even its two arms had been burned by Mo Xiu's lightning dragon, clearly indicating that it was at its last gasp.
Perhaps realizing this, the zombie stopped resisting, though this was only on the surface. It even took a few steps closer, its eyes fixed on Mo Xiu, causing Mo Xiu to frown and sense that something was amiss.
It was Mo Qi who sensed the unusual movement on the zombie and was the first to react, shouting to Mo Xiu, "Back off! He's about to self-destruct!"
Mo Xiu was truly surprised to learn that the self-destruction technique was not only used by cultivators, but also by high-level zombies.
As he uttered those words, he unleashed his divine sense, protecting them all. Combined with the protective talismans they carried, they were well-prepared to handle the situation.
Mo Qi just didn't expect that Mo Xiu would make the same choice that he had made not long ago.
He instinctively stepped in front of Mo Xiu to shield her from Xiong Gangyong's zombie attack.
Mo Xiu, upon hearing the word "self-destruct" and turning to see the level seven zombie's body rapidly expanding, immediately rushed to Mo Qi's side, turned around, and hugged him tightly in a protective posture.
The power of a level 7 zombie's self-destruction is enormous. The superhumans who were fighting downstairs suddenly felt the entire building shake violently.
They had just finished clearing out the remaining zombies, so they hurriedly evacuated from the building.
After Lu Pingwan and Cheng Cheng exchanged a knowing glance, they immediately rushed into the stairwell and began heading upstairs.
They had only rushed down one floor when they saw Mo Xiu and Cheng Cheng hurrying down from upstairs.
However, the situation of the four was somewhat strange. Xiong Gangyong had completely passed out; he was quite large and had to be carried down by Cheng Cheng. Fortunately, the other two were relatively clean, and there were no obvious wounds visible.
Mo Xiu and Mo Qi were unusually dirty, especially Mo Xiu, whose face was covered in soot and grime, and whose coat was inexplicably tattered, making him look both disheveled and comical.
But he didn't seem to be injured at all; he looked relaxed and was even carrying Mo Qi on his back.
On the contrary, Mo Qi looked extremely weak and had a dark expression.
