Chapter 70 What are you afraid of?
Li Xingye didn't pay any attention to the zombies that were right in front of him. Instead, he walked easily towards the direction where the zombie tide was most concentrated.
Wherever he passed, vines spread wildly from under his feet, clearing a clean and wide path for him.
The zombies were forced by the vines into the narrow gaps between the tall buildings, where they were piled up together, roaring hideously and constantly pulling at the vines.
They trampled on their companions and tried to reach upwards, as if they wanted to use the sea of corpses tactic to climb over this vine wall that didn't seem very high.
There were even some zombies with special powers who jumped directly from the building and tried to approach Li Xingye who was walking in the middle of the road.
But before they could get within ten meters of Li Xingye, they were rolled up by the vines that suddenly appeared and thrown away. When they fell, they had lost their crystal cores.
As for the other zombies crowded at the front, the moment they came into contact with the gray-black branches, their crystal cores were easily dug out by the thin vines that spread up.
Afterwards, the zombies' completely broken bodies turned into nutrients for the vines.
Every time a zombie falls completely, a bright little flower will bloom on the vine.
Chi Wan, who had just entered the space and saw this scene, couldn't help but open his eyes wide, looking at everything in a daze.
This was her first time facing so many zombies, and also the first time she felt so clearly what doomsday was.
On the vine wall, there are gorgeous flowers on one side and hideous zombies on the other.
In this nightmarish and fragmented scene, the brightly blooming flowers are breathtakingly beautiful against this cruel backdrop.
In this strange atmosphere, Li Xingye put his hands in his pockets and continued walking forward calmly.
"You know, these things can't hold me back."
His voice was flat, and it was unclear who he was addressing.
Chi Wan tried hard to look in the direction where Li Xingye was speaking, but he only saw endless zombies.
Is this the zombie tide that Li Xingye once mentioned? Even though he knew he could handle it, Chi Wan still couldn't help but feel frightened.
And with what Li Xingye said, the zombies around him became even crazier!
They sped up, constantly pushing the zombies in the front, one after another, fearless of death.
It seemed that he wanted to slow down the speed of Li Xingye's vines by using numbers.
However, the only thing that changed was the number of flowers on the vines.
Li Xingye seemed a little impatient.
He suddenly stopped and sneered: "With just these, you think you can test my limits?"
He finally took out his right hand, which had been kept in his pocket. He opened his clenched palm gently, and strands of light kept sliding across his slender fingers, and finally formed a thin vine in his palm.
However, on this thin vine, which was supposed to be gray and black, a small section actually grew emerald green leaves!
With the appearance of this thin vine, the vines that were originally just defending and counterattacking grew dozens of meters high in an instant!
The thick vines covered the sky like giant snakes, and even the vast tide of zombies seemed insignificant in front of them.
After just one encounter, a zombie vacuum zone of nearly 100 meters was cleared around Li Xingye!
"You... indeed, have broken through... to the ninth level!"
A hoarse but fanatical voice suddenly sounded. Chi Wan was startled and looked in the direction Li Xingye was looking.
I saw the group of zombies in front of me constantly twisting and turning, and soon a narrow passage appeared.
A "person" who was at least 1.9 meters tall but as thin as a bamboo pole slowly walked out.
Its face was very clean and its skin was smooth, but it was completely bloodless. There was a vast expanse of white in the eye sockets, with no pupils, but it was not turbid.
Especially the way it was staring at Li Xingye, even Chi Wan who was watching from the side could feel the strong gaze.
An incredible thought flashed through Chi Wan's mind: Could this also be a zombie? ! But don’t zombies have brains? How could it...
Soon, Li Xingye's words confirmed Chi Wan's guess.
He chuckled: "A zombie that has broken through to level eight only dares to hide in the center of Rongcheng... What are you afraid of?"
Chi Wan was a little nervous at first, but after hearing what Li Xingye said, she subconsciously looked at the vines that blocked out the sun and sky, and then turned her gaze to the zombies that were surrounded by the vines and looked a little "weak"...
I don't know why, but I have a strong feeling that "Could this zombie be afraid of Brother Hoshino?"
Upon hearing this, the zombie looked at Li Xingye silently and spoke more fluently: "It is not wise to take risks before you are sure of your true strength."
Chi Wan:! ! !
Are you really afraid of Brother Hoshino?
Although she has infinitely raised her perception of Li Xingye's boss-level combat power, every time she sees him display his strength, she still continues to refresh this limit.
Chi Wan stared at Li Xingye without blinking, seeing his indifferent look which was totally different from his usual one. It was clearly that familiar voice, but when the owner of the voice turned cold, the originally gentle voice became particularly ruthless.
But for Chi Wan, this kind of change did not seem scary. Instead, it made Li Xingye, who originally had the image of a "domestic boss" in her mind, gradually become more and more three-dimensional.
Also, it's becoming more and more exciting.
Li Xingye didn't seem surprised after hearing what the zombie said: "The intuition of the eighth-level zombie has become more acute."
Perhaps because Li Xingye did not show much attack power, the eighth-level zombie even tentatively took two steps forward.
Its white pupils stared at Li Xingye intently: "I can feel... that you are different from them. But this abnormality makes me feel very dangerous. There is a familiar smell on your body, but that should not appear on people with special abilities."
Li Xingye raised his hand gently.
The zombie's expression suddenly changed and he disappeared on the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away, leaving only Li Xingye sitting on a rattan chair with a puzzled look on his face.
Li Xingye: ...
Chi Wan: ...
Zombie: ...
Chi Wan could actually see a similar embarrassed expression on a zombie's face.
There was silence for two seconds, and the zombie moved back: "I thought you wanted to silence me..."
Chi Wan shouted in his heart: How afraid are you of Brother Hoshino! !
Li Xingye, however, leaned back in his chair in a leisurely manner: "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to kill you, I just have some questions that need your answers. Those zombies before were not evolved enough, and even if they have some intelligence, they are still driven by instinct. But obviously, you are stronger than them."
The zombie seemed relieved and was about to say something, but was nailed to the spot by Li Xingye's next words.
"I've always wondered what the difference is between the end of zombie evolution and the end of mutant evolution."
