Chapter 71: Becoming Human Again
The zombie stared at Li Xingye: "What... did you know?!"
Li Xingye smiled and said, "It's just a guess. Ever since I broke through to the ninth level, no, ever since the day I awakened my superpowers, I have been curious about one thing: what is the connection between the appearance of zombies and the activation of superpowers?
"If not, then why can superpowers evolve through zombie crystal cores? Although I don't know your evolution process, I think it is closely related to superpowers.
"So, you tried so hard to hide... because of some revelation you got when you evolved to the eighth level?"
With every additional word Li Xingye spoke, the zombie's expression became worse. After hearing the last sentence, it even subconsciously took two steps back.
The zombie retreated, looking at Li Xingye as if he were a monster: "You got it too... So, you want to expand the sequence in your body..."
Before he could even say a word, he wanted to run away without caring about anything!
But how could Li Xingye let it happen?
Seeing the man and the zombie fighting each other, Chi Wan, who was in the space, was confused by this incoherent conversation.
What are they talking about?
What is revelation and what is sequence?
Before Chi Wan could figure it out, Li Xingye, who had the upper hand, said to the zombie: "Since you know about the sequence, why are you still hiding? Don't you want to get the sequence from me?"
That zombie had indeed reached level eight. Although it was a little embarrassed under Li Xingye's attack, it was not as vulnerable as other zombies. It even had the power to fight back.
It dodged the elusive vines, and after realizing that Li Xingye would not let it go, its face gradually became ferocious: "I don't know what you are talking about! Since you want to know the truth so much, then give me your life! When I eat you, I will naturally understand the meaning of the sequence--"
As if Li Xingye had pushed the zombie to the extreme, many blue-black lines suddenly appeared on its originally pale face, and its white pupils turned completely black in an instant.
“Uhhhh—”
A small piece of pure black diamond-shaped crystal slowly emerged from the zombie's forehead. As the crystal appeared, it waved its hand lightly, and several wind blades attacked Li Xingye with the force of thunder!
The originally extremely tough vines could not withstand the attack of the wind blade and broke one after another.
But it's not over yet.
The zombie disappeared in front of Li Xingye the moment the wind blade appeared!
"Behind you! Be careful!"
Seeing the zombies suddenly appear behind Li Xingye, Chi Wan couldn't help but warn him.
Although Li Xingye was a little surprised when he heard Chi Wan's voice, it did not delay his actions.
He dodged the wind blades easily by slightly turning sideways, without even turning his head, but more dodder-like vines intertwined to form a dragnet behind him and besieged the zombies.
At the same time, the mutated plants planted on both sides of the road also became his helpers. The sharp leaves that had long been polluted by the environment spun and rushed into the zombie tide that was rioting again, harvesting heads on the ground.
During this time, Li Xingye even had the leisure to ask, "Wanwan, are you done with your work?"
His ability to grasp the key points almost drove Chi Wan crazy: "Just do your thing first! Isn't it a zombie? Why does it have superpowers? And there are two types!"
Sure enough, as the zombie flashed behind Li Xingye, countless sharp stone spikes appeared beside it and shot towards Li Xingye!
However, Chi Wan was wrong about one thing. The so-called eighth-level zombie not only had superpowers, but three types of them!
In addition to stone spikes, he can also teleport.
I saw it constantly changing its position like a flea. Every time it appeared, the stone thorns it created became smaller, but its speed and sharpness also doubled!
Later on, the tracks of the stone spikes could no longer be distinguished with the naked eye.
Chi Wan didn't dare to disturb him anymore, but he always felt that compared to the tense zombies, Li Xingye was always at ease.
Hearing Chi Wan's words, Li Xingye just smiled, but his attack became visibly more ferocious.
The endless variety of plants simply turned into an army, and under Li Xingye's control, they were comparable to thousands of troops. Not to mention those elusive thin vines that could easily wrap around the zombies' necks if you're not careful.
The eighth-level zombie that was fighting with Li Xingye became more and more desperate: "Impossible... No matter how powerful a psychic is, it is impossible to have endless superpowers after using them so frequently! Who on earth are you!"
Li Xingye did not answer, but as he saw through the zombies' position, after the next teleportation, thin vines wrapped around the zombies' hands, feet, and even necks.
"Bang--"
The zombie was dragged down by the vines and fell at Li Xingye's feet.
It felt the power draining away in its body with horror, and shouted at the top of its lungs, "Don't kill me! You said you wouldn't kill me! I, I can tell you the truth about the sequence! When I reached the eighth level, I felt the existence of the sequence. It told me that as long as my sequence is complete again, I can turn back into a human being!!
"I...what I did just now was just a test. I just want to know what is different about you that makes you different from them! If you want the central area, I'll give it to you. I will stay away and will never disturb you!"
"I have a special source of information. I know a lot of things you don't know. The Imperial Capital, yes, the Imperial Capital! Don't you want to know why those people in the Imperial Capital changed the direction of the experiment? I know! As long as you don't kill me, I can help you pass on the information!"
Li Xingye lowered his eyes and looked at the zombie who spoke a lot of words in one breath and kept begging, and repeated in a low voice: "Become a human again?"
The zombie quickly said, "Yes, yes, I just want to turn back into a human! Li Xingye, I never thought of becoming your enemy! I didn't even take the initiative to appear in front of you!"
Seeing that Li Xingye was still unmoved, the zombie gritted his teeth and threw out his trump card: "You know, the experiment in the imperial capital has already found a way to use crystal cores to transform the sequence of ordinary people. However, it doesn't always succeed.
"It's true that some ordinary people have become superpowers, but more have turned into zombies! There must be someone in the imperial capital who has broken through to the ninth level, otherwise they wouldn't know about the existence of the sequence and conduct this experiment.
"Li Xingye, do you think I'm the only one who noticed your abnormality? No, you've been targeted by the Imperial Capital for a long time! They said that the way you get energy is different from everyone else, but... more like us.
"They will come looking for you sooner or later. I can help you cover up a little! You know, the stronger you act, the more they will target you. You can get away by yourself, but what about the people in your base? Do you care about them?
"Li Xingye, actually what they said is right. Compared to people with special abilities, the way you obtain energy is more similar to us..."
