Chapter 209: Heresy Begins
Shen Yisui held the garbage bag full of food in his hand without moving. Gunshots continued to ring out around him, vaguely intertwined with the chaos before his death.
Same yet different, too noisy.
"...I can't see and can't leave." Shen Yisui listened to Cheng Jingyi's words. He smelled the moist breath in the air and held Cheng Jingyi's sleeves tightly with both hands.
He abruptly stopped Cheng Jingyi from turning around. The bullet shattered the glass, and he had to take Shen Yisui and hide in the old aisle next to him.
"Shen Yisui, did you do this on purpose?" There was obvious anger in Cheng Jingyi's tone.
"How many times have you escaped from the base camp alone? No one can stop you! Now you tell me you don't know the way? Don't pretend! Go!"
Shen Yisui's lips tightened. He didn't say anything to explain after hearing this. He still held on to Cheng Jingyi's sleeve and refused to let go: "The past is the past, and the present is the present. It's going to rain soon, and I don't know the way. Take me with you."
"I'll take you away?" Cheng Jingyi sneered, "I'll kick you to death."
After he finished speaking, he took off his coat and wrapped it around Shen Yisui's body.
Shen Yisui can still listen to others when he is normal, but he is actually very stubborn. Once he makes up his mind about something, he will never turn back until he hits a wall.
For example, the current situation.
The gunfire outside became more and more intense. People in the distance heard the order and rushed over quickly. They had formed an invisible encirclement with Shen Yisui as the center.
Cheng Jingyi sensed the situation around him and his mind gradually sank.
His level has dropped, and he can only deal with gunmen from one direction at most. But more and more people are gathering, and he may be overwhelmed.
"Forget it, Shen Yisui, just follow me." Cheng Jingyi frowned. He grabbed Shen Yisui's arm, at least to make sure he was still within his control. "Hide behind me."
Shen Yisui didn't say anything. Blood was dripping from his cheek where he was injured by a bullet. He raised his head and felt the air becoming increasingly humid.
The sky may be overcast and it may rain soon.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The sound of gunfire outside continued. They locked their target between the two of them, and the bullets became more and more dense. The wall, which had already been broken, could not withstand such an attack and groaned in pain, as if it would collapse soon.
Cheng Jingyi widely spread his mental power. His methods were always ruthless. He stabbed all the gunmen at close range through the heart.
However, his current ability could not cover a longer range, and the sniper lurking on the high-rise building seized the opportunity, aimed at his head and shot several times.
The zombies' fatal weakness lies in their heads, which is also where they store their crystal cores.
After piercing the skull and penetrating the crystal core, the zombie is doomed to die.
Cheng Jingyi heard a buzzing sound in his ears. The gunshot wounds on his body that had not yet healed had already ruptured. His nerves were compressed and the pain spread. His vision was blurred and he could hardly see the surrounding scenery.
"Cheng Jingyi, take the garbage bag."
Cheng Jingyi paused, and the garbage bag containing food was stuffed into his arms again. He raised his head and sensed a figure striding forward and standing in front of him.
A light drizzle of rain fell from the sky, soft and light, with the slightest touch on my cheeks.
It’s raining…
Cheng Jingyi's eyelashes trembled slightly. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the drizzle fell densely. In just a few seconds, it turned into hail when it fell into Cheng Jingyi's palm.
The entire sky was covered in white light, as if a thick layer of ice had formed. Dense icicles fell straight down from the sky, piercing through all the buildings and sand dunes on the ground, crushing them into mud.
The gunshots suddenly stopped, and the screams mixed with blood flowed down, and were replaced by another scene.
There was an imperceptible cold light in Cheng Jingyi's eyes. He looked up in silence. After coming to his senses, he pulled Shen Yisui up and fled the area.
Shen Yisui's face turned pale. This wave of operations almost exhausted all his energy and squeezed out his already limited supernatural powers.
After running about a hundred meters, Shen Yisui could clearly feel his legs becoming weak. He frowned, walked a few more meters, and then collapsed on the ground in despair.
Cheng Jingyi saw through his thoughts at a glance. He was speechless for a moment. He squatted down and carried Shen Yisui to another place.
The second location Cheng Jingyi found was infested with high-level zombies. He prepared a strategy before coming and also released his own zombie aura.
The zombies in this area have developed a sense of community and will protect their own kind. Cheng Jingyi ventured here mainly because he was attracted by the uniqueness of the zombie community in this area.
After entering the streets of the West District, the military surveillance was significantly weakened, even to the point of being almost non-existent.
Cheng Jingyi carried Shen Yisui up the stairs. He went to the sixth floor with a clear purpose. After kicking open the door, he put Shen Yisui on the bed in the inner room.
"Shen Yisui, how are you?" Cheng Jingyi turned Shen Yisui over. Shen Yisui's forehead was covered with cold sweat and his face was completely pale.
Shen Yisui did not respond. Cheng Jingyi took out a few more high-level crystal cores from his pocket. These crystal cores were obtained by him when he stayed up late to go out hunting. He was reluctant to use any of them, but he did not expect that they would be swallowed up by Shen Yisui now.
The crystal core in his palm glowed red, with sharp edges and corners. Cheng Jingyi hardened his heart and crushed the last two crystal cores.
After the crystal core shattered, the power inside suddenly surged out. They fell downwards and were all absorbed into Shen Yisui's body.
Shen Yisui's tense brows slowly relaxed, his eyes narrowed a little, and the gray pupils inside were staring at Cheng Jingyi motionlessly.
Cheng Jingyi knew that he couldn't see, and at this moment he was probably looking at pure black air.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Jingyi pinched Shen Yisui's chin. Shen Yisui's eyes were fully open at this time. He didn't know whether he was awake or not. His face was wrinkled and showed a bit of ferocity.
Cheng Jingyi looked at him with a bit of hostility on his face: "What do you want to do? Baring your teeth, do you want to bite me?"
Shen Yisui stretched his fingers stiffly and then bent them again. Hearing the voice, he restrained his expression and turned his face away: "...No."
Cheng Jing noticed that Shen Yisui's complexion had recovered, so he continued, "How do you feel? There is no one outside now..."
Before he could finish, he was suddenly pulled down by the force below him. Shen Yisui didn't know where he got the strength from, he tightly wrapped his arms around Cheng Jingyi's neck, and without hesitation, he bit into Cheng Jingyi's earlobe.
Cheng Jingyi groaned: "Shen Yisui——"
"Am I good?" Shen Yisui pretended not to hear him. He stuck close to Cheng Jingyi and continued to ask, "Am I as good as when I was a kid?"
