Lord of End of World-Chapter 113

Gong Lixin raised his head and discerned the surrounding sounds with his ears carefully. It was very noisy and vast. In addition to the howling wind, there was the crunching sounds of street shop signboards being blown, the sounds of shouts from the shacks of coffee houses, the sounds of shattered glass of window falling from skyscrapers, the sound of plastic bad shredding and flying in the air…taking his attention off of his other four senses, he gathered them all on his ears and, eventually, managed to tell there was a foreign object flying in the sky.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, bringing all the dust on the ground into the air and getting into the eyes of others, blurring their visions. When the eyes were opened, even just a little, dust would fall in, causing pain and irritation. The group didn't dare look up nor look at each other anymore and lowered their bodies one after another. They clung to the surrounding fixed object to prevent themselves from being blown away by the hurricane.

In this situation, there was no way to fight. If there really was a high-level zombie, they had no choice but to wait for death. An ominous premonition arose in everyone's heart.

"Brother Lin, Brother Song, quickly move your mental energy to protect your whole body, there's two wind blades that are coming." Gong Lixin warned and stood up with a blade across his chest. His pair of cat-like eyes contracted, making his eyes look as sharp as a knife. He moved to the group of four, grabbing them in a flash with his hand right alone when a strong wind blade was about to chop off their heads.

The wind blade was deflected but didn't break. A slamming sound resounded against a car beside the four and the car was cut into two. The front of the car fell to the ground and the broken parts and metal pieces were immediately swept up by the win and hovered in the air. The glass was smashed and the broken glass was also swept into the wind and, like the wind blade, turned into an invisible weapon.

Seeing that Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran were shrouded in golden and red shimmering light respectively and were not injured by the blade nor the sharp weapons hidden in the wind, Gong Lixin concentrated on protecting the four people just to honor the word Brother Song had promised them. A promise of safety. He was a man from ancient times and he took his promises very seriously.

Seeing the slender teenager moving so freely within the hurricane, coming and going as he pleased and waving away wind blades aimed towards them one by one, taking on the rigorous duty to protect them, the four thought in their hearts 'I have seen God' with reverence and deep shock. Struggling to survive for two years in the apocalyptic days, they had seen cannibalism, killing and harming others, but they had never seen anyone so devoted in saving a few strangers. Seeing that the person struggling to help them, the passion in each of them ignited at this moment and could hardly be described by words.

They came forward to help the teenager but quickly shook their hands and feet off of the task as soon as they did. They couldn't even stand, so they could only cling to a sturdy object tightly without disturbing the teenager.

Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran covered their entire body with a layer of energy, so they were not afraid of the coming and going of the wind blades in the air. But nothing could be seen except dust and they couldn't even find the target even if they wanted to fight back.

Gong Lixin swung his blade in a sword dance, hitting countless wind blades. But the wind was everywhere and even if he blocked them, one or two wind blades would still scratch the skin of the four, spreading the blood through the wind with the smell of fresh flesh and blood through the air.

Right then, a sudden change occurred in the air. Three shadows broke through the dust and quickly rushed to the injured four people. Gong Lixin's eyes were bright and he kicked away the leading shadow before cutting off the head of the second shadow that followed. The head fell to the ground and was blown by the wind and rolled under the wheel of a car. The last shadow met his thunderous palm and his skull burst. Red and white brain matter was blown everywhere by the wind, like blooming flowers.

Gong Lixin's movements were quick and he took out the cyan crystal nucleus that was about to be blown away by the wind from the brain matter and brought it in front of his eyes for a quick look. Cyan, neither too dark nor too light, so only a third-level low-grade. Could a third-level low-grade create such a big momentum? Even if it's three zombies together, it's impossible! Moreover, now that the three were dead, the hurricane still remained, which proves that there were more wind zombies around.

Gong Lixin was shocked. He put the crystal core in his pocket and said to the four, "The wind is created by zombies and their level may be third-level low-grade and above. I'm afraid I can't protect you, so avoid it to the best of your abilities."

Killing two third-level low-grade wind zombies so easily, how high was this youth's level? The four were already scared stupid. They heard what he said and nodded, but their bodies still remained motionless.

Gong Lixin frowned, blocked a few more wind blades, found a truck on the side of the road and carried the four people to hide at the bottom of the truck. He quickly joined Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran afterwards.

Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran jointly killed the zombie that had been kicked off by him. They were also digging out the nuclei to check its level and their faces looked surprised at the sight.

"Brother Lin, Brother Song, the situation's not good." Gong Lixin avoided the wind blades easily as he approached the two and began to speak.

"This is a group attack by a group of wind-type zombies. I've never seen other zombies of the same ability gather to hunt together and all their levels are third-level low-grade or above. This is too weird! Did they evolve? Did they gain wisdom and understand division of labor and how to cooperate?" Lin Wenbo frowned, feeling cold all over at his own speculation. If that was the case, the situation for humanity would become even more difficult.

Zombies are different from humans. Their use of abilities was done so by instinct, so they could reach their full potential easily. With this inherently powerful nature and add in this new found wisdom, zombies would undoubtedly soar into the sky, replacing humans as the creature at the top of the food chain.

Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo thought of the same thing and their face turned ashen and their heart sank. Only Gong Lixin still showed a clear expression after he understood the situation at hand. His mind was thinking about how to deal with the group attack.

"Group attacks are actually easy to deal with. Haven't you been practicing big killing tricks? Try it out today." Gong Lixin slashed and killed a zombie trying to get close to the shelter of the four and threw its head under a car to dig out the nuclei after the battle was over.

"Alright, we'll give it a try." Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran jointly killed a zombie, learned from Gong Lixin's trick and threw the head under a car on the side of the road to avoid it being blown away by the wind.

"Use it there, where there are the most number of zombies." Gong Lixin advised, pointing at the dusty sky. The third-level low-grade wind zombies had learned how to fly in the air and liked to sneak in from up high, like assassins from ancient times. They knew by instinct what kind of attack method would make the most efficient use of their ability.

Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran nodded, spread their palm upwards and secretly charged. The two balls of golden and red that looked both dangerous but extremely dangerous, formed in the palm of their hands. Gong Lixin backed them up, killing all the zombies flying in the air.

Sweat beaded on their foreheads and the energy surrounding their body completely disappeared, a light ball finally condensed successfully and the vast amount of power radiated in the air with dazzling light, making the oncoming zombies afraid. The four people hiding underneath the car also felt this suffocating power and their faces became pale. Extremely curious about what was going on, they steeled their minds and checked to see the golden eyed and red eyed man holding two balls of light. Xiao Shui stupidly murmured, "I can't believe it, a Super Saiyan!"

Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo took a deep breath and threw the ball of light in the direction indicated by Gong Lixin. The gold and red spheres collided in the air, producing a violent atomic reaction. Only a loud noise was heard followed by a shocking wave that spread out. The wave had countless fireballs and thin metal blades. It spread out to an entire block in an instant. The light of the flames and the cold light of the metal complemented each other and it seemed almost as if a volcano erupted, bursting into the air and attacking everything in the air and on the ground indiscriminately.

Lin Wenbo, Song Haoran and Gong Lixin had already moved towards the bottom of a car on the road side and were not affected by it. Zombies though, scared by coercion, didn't dare move. They were struck by scattered stray bullets and fell from the sky. There were those who were directly bombed at the beginning and died on the spot, while others were hit and fell to the ground and roared and struggled as they then burned to the ground by the flames, making for an extremely tragic scene.

As the zombies fell, the wind gradually weakened. When all the dust settled, the neighbouring area could finally be seen and they finally saw the golden light of the sun as it set behind a building, staining the sky a bright, blood red colour, setting the tone for the dead bodies laying around. Truly a spectacular scene.

The four people hiding underneath the car slowly crawled out, their heart finally gaining some insights today. It turned out that humans could be so powerful. They looked at the three who had already recovered and were squatting down on the ground, digging out the nucleus of zombies. They watched them with fanatical worship in their eyes.

Gong Lixin picked up all the zombie heads and piled them up, splitting them in one shot as if splitting a watermelon, before taking out the crystal nuclei inside and carefully pocketing them. The strength of these zombies wasn't weak. They were all low, mid or high-grade. When given to Gu Nan and Cao Yanan, they would definitely be promoted in a short amount of time.

Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo also crouched down to help, handing turquoise crystal nuclei to the serious and busy young man while enjoying his joyful and intoxicating smile from the corner of their eyes.

The youth who looked like a crystal doll crouched amongst a bunch of skulls, splitting them with a single stab, instantly cutting them in half, and pushing the red and white brain matter aside to pull the crystal nuclei, all with a happy expression and as if he had no worries in the world. Golden Eyes and Red Eyes pampered him by also crouching down and watching him with a smile, making for a wonderful picture. The corners of the four people's mouth twitched as they slowly got up. They had a good impression about the crystal doll in their heart, but when it's over, their impression of him changed once again.

"Rinse the wound with this and then wrap it tightly so as not to let smell of blood leak out." Gong Lixin took out a bottle of alcohol from his backpack when he saw the four people staggering over with strange expression on their faces. Alcohol flushed their wounds with a sharp tingling sensation and the strong odor of alcohol easily covered the bloody scent, which truly made it the best medicine for cleaning wounds during these apocalyptic days.

The four also understood this truth, took the alcohol, gritted their teeth and poured it onto their wounds before wrapping it around with thick gauze that had been prepared for them.

After the four took care of their wound, Gong Lixin continued to dig out crystal nuclei and putting them away. After he was done, he rinsed his hands with the rest of the alcohol and the seven walked towards the five-star hotel that was a block away. After taking two steps, Gong Lixin's eyes narrowed and he pushed Song Haoran down. The two held each other and rolled three or four meters before standing back up. The concrete ground where Song Haoran had been standing was split by a strong wind blade and had a three-meter long and two-meter deep half moon cut after the dust scattered.

They had never seen such a strong wind blade! The faces of the seven men were horrified. They looked up and in the direction of the wind blade.

They saw a zombie standing on the mast of a traffic light on the right side of the road. Pale yellow, stinky saliva flowed from its sharp teeth, long silver thread flew onto the road and calm eyes exuded a terrifying aura as he looked straight at the seven of them.

Its pupils were a dark turquoise, purer than those of any third-level zombie. There was also the aura coming off of its body.

"It's a fourth-level low-grade wind ability zombie!" Lin Wenbo said with astonishment.

The fourth-level wind zombie moved like lightning, flying silently and concealing its skills. The use of his ability was as if it was carved into its bones. Even Gong Lixin's five senses hadn't noticed its trace until just now.

This was a strong enemy and he would lose if he didn't do his best! Gong Lixin stared, his inner aura leaking out, his momentum suddenly changing.

Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran, who had already exhausted their abilities and had no energy to participate in this battle. They, however, noticed his change and pulled the four men, who were scared to death, as they slowly backed away, hiding in a relatively safe corner as to not disturb the teenager.
