The throwing knife manipulated by his supernatural power landed on the ground. Lin Zheng grabbed Huang Zhao's large hands with both of his, but he couldn't budge them at all.
He hated Li Cheng, that idiot, for having no sense at all!
Huang Zhao would never show mercy to anyone who dared to offend him.
But he wanted to see what might happen next, so he didn't kill them immediately.
Li Cheng, who had been kicked away by Ning Chuxia, got up from the ground, feeling a sharp pain in his lower abdomen that almost made him lose his mind.
Intense pain surged like a tidal wave, threatening to overwhelm and devour his reason.
Each breath brought a sharp, stinging pain, gradually blurring his consciousness.
Moreover, the strength in my body seemed to be rapidly disappearing, and I felt hot and cold intermittently, as if I were sick.
His body trembled uncontrollably as he tried to stand up again, but he swayed precariously.
This seemed incredibly incredible to him, who had awakened a level two flesh-based superpower.
Li Cheng stood up, trembling, and asked Huang Zhao, who was looking at him with a half-smile:
"What...what's wrong with me? Why are you so strong?"
Huang Zhao knew that the virus on the level 2 mutant zombie on Alice's spear was beginning to erode Li Cheng's body.
The zombie virus has an extremely strong corrosive ability, capable of rapidly invading human cells and triggering a series of terrifying changes.
As time goes by, Li Cheng's body will gradually be controlled by the virus, his humanity will gradually disappear, and he will eventually become a ferocious zombie.
Both being at level two, if Li Cheng doesn't engage in strenuous exercise now, under normal circumstances, he should have about 10 more minutes to survive.
However, this is merely a theoretical deduction; in reality, reality is often far more brutal than imagined.
Huang Zhao ruthlessly tossed Lin Zheng, whose face had turned purplish-blue from holding his breath, aside, a cold smile on his face, and said calmly:
"It's nothing, that spear just pierced a zombie."
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng's face turned deathly pale.
He knew all too well the price he would pay for being scratched by a zombie.
Not only that, he even personally poured zombie blood into his boss's mouth, watching helplessly as his boss gradually turned into a zombie in despair.
In the end, he smashed his boss's head without any effort.
Knowing that you are about to die is an incredibly despairing experience.
Li Cheng glared at Huang Zhao, his eyes wide with fury, and cursed through gritted teeth:
"You're so cruel..."
Faced with Li Cheng's angry rebuke, Huang Zhao had no intention of wasting words with such a person, and he turned and walked towards Alice.
At this moment, Alice realized that the spear she had thrust out had infected Li Cheng, and a wave of fear and lingering dread washed over her.
In her panic, Huang Zhao's warm, large hand gently caressed her delicate face, and a gentle yet firm voice reached her ears:
"It's alright, don't blame yourself."
These words seemed to possess a magical power, instantly calming Alice's previously panicked heart and easing her fear.
Just then, Qin Yi, who had gone out to attract zombies, hurriedly returned to the park.
He immediately noticed the unusual situation here.
Li Cheng, with more than twenty men, surrounded Huang Zhao and his three companions.
Qin Yi's heart tightened, and he immediately sped up, rushing towards them while shouting loudly:
"Lord of the city! What happened?"
No one dared to stop Qin Yi, who carried a heavy hammer as tall as a person and had a burly and robust physique.
The henchmen who had been blocking the way immediately made way for them.
The powerful aura emanating from Qin Yi was even more formidable than that of Li Cheng and Lin Zheng combined.
At this moment, even the most foolish of these underlings understood that they had messed with someone they shouldn't have.
After all, even their two leaders had been easily dealt with by Huang Zhao.
However, since Huang Zhao had not yet spoken, they dared not run away on their own and could only obediently gather behind Lin Zheng, waiting tremblingly for Huang Zhao's judgment.
As for Li Cheng, no one around him dares to approach him now that he is about to turn into a zombie.
At this moment, Li Cheng had fallen into deep despair because he realized that he was about to transform into a terrifying zombie.
However, when he discovered that he had been abandoned by everyone, the person he hated most was not Alice, who had turned him into a zombie.
Instead, he turned his head, glared fiercely at Lin Zheng, and roared angrily:
"Why am I the only one who has to become this awful zombie, while you all remain unharmed!"
"We promised to share joys and sorrows and make something of ourselves together in this apocalyptic world!"
"You traitors! Since that's the case, let's all turn into zombies!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Cheng pounced on Lin Zheng and the others like a madman.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, the twenty-odd people were instantly terrified and scattered in all directions, trying to avoid Li Cheng's attack.
Several of the more astute individuals attempted to move closer to Huang Zhao's location.
But before they even got within 20 meters of Huang Zhao, their heads exploded as if struck by a heavy hammer, splattering blood everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, three headless men had fallen.
Seeing this, no one dared to approach Huang Zhao again.
"He's the devil!"
Lin Zheng also felt a chill run down his spine, and a sense of fear rose in his heart.
He felt that Huang Zhao in front of him had turned into a terrifying monster, making him afraid to look directly at him.
They had no choice but to quickly change direction, trying to avoid Li Cheng who was getting closer and closer.
"Li Cheng, don't come any closer! If you do, I'll fight back!"
Lin Zheng shouted loudly as he nervously backed away.
His voice was full of warnings and threats, but also carried a hint of helplessness and despair.
Huang Zhao, with Alice and Ning Chuxia in his arms, watched the scene with great interest.
A mocking smile appeared on his face, as if he was quite interested in the farce.
"What a wonderful farce! When they came, I heard they were coming to seek refuge in Dawn City."
Huang Zhao said softly, his tone tinged with sarcasm.
His gaze swept over the people in the chaos, and a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.
"In Dawn City, where nearly ten thousand survivors have emerged, it is unknown how many more people like this exist."
Ning Chuxia turned to look at Huang Zhao and saw the worry in his eyes.
She also understood that people like Li Cheng were not isolated cases, and there must be many such people in Dawn City.
Ning Chuxia offered words of comfort:
“You have done very well. The reason you are so unscrupulous is because you are not holding a knife to your head.”
“You are the sword hanging over Dawn City right now. As long as you are here, the members of Dawn City will not become like them.”
Ning Chuxia's words were like a spring breeze, dispelling the gloom in Huang Zhao's heart and filling him with warmth.
