60: Chapter 58: Slaughter Feast
60 -58: Slaughter Feast
After they passed the sign reading “Black City,” they officially entered the territory of Black City.
As Li Qian had said, it looked like an empty city.
Su Mo watched the car drive all the way here without seeing a single zombie, which somehow left her feeling uneasy.

The county’s buildings indicated it was bustling before the apocalypse, so it shouldn’t be devoid of zombies.
Apart from wind-whipped newspapers fluttering in the air and wrecked cars blocking roads, Su Mo saw no traces of zombie activity.
“Damn, another dead end,” Ah Da slammed the steering wheel forcefully as the car ahead turned around, compelling him to do the same.
“Has no one come through this central area before?” Su Mo became increasingly vigilant, her expression tense.
She held a knife in one hand and rested the other on her knee, with a gun strapped to her thigh, ready to be drawn at any moment.
“Yes,” Li Qian responded from upfront, “This area is the closest to the prison, and it’s our first time coming inside.”
So far, his scanning range had detected nothing.
The three vehicles twisted and turned through the city before finally stopping on a road leading to the business district.
The driver in the lead vehicle communicated to the other two cars via walkie-talkie, “No way through.”
“Received,” Ah Da extinguished the engine, glanced at the rearview mirror, and asked, “Li Qian, are we ready?”
The question carried a hidden meaning, and the man in the passenger seat’s eyes flashed; he nodded in silent agreement.
The three cars were parked by the roadside, and about a dozen people got out, all geared up and ready to go.
Lu Chen looked at Su Mo as he slung his backpack over his shoulder, and they both got out of the car.
A few people began to walk deeper into the business district.
“Are we going to find food here?
These are all office buildings,” Su Mo casually asked while holding her knife, her sense of alertness peaking.
“Looking for food?
No, no, no, we won’t need you for that,” Ah Da sneered, his muscular arm lifted the gun and aimed it at Su Mo, pulling the trigger.
Their guns were equipped with silencers, and this just-begun slaughter was both bloody and silent.
Prepared, Su Mo quickly curled up and rolled to the side.
Almost simultaneously, Lu Chen conjured Ice Blade and shot it at Ah Da.
A wall of earth erupted from the ground, blocking Lu Chen’s attack.
He did not pursue the attack, and instead, quickly pulled up Su Mo, and they dashed into an office building.
He sprinted into the lobby, kicked open the door to the fire escape, and said calmly to Su Mo, “We need to draw some of them away.”
“Okay,” Su Mo understood; outnumbered, the smart choice was to break them up and deal with them one by one.
She dashed up the stairs right behind him.
Ah Da and his men swiftly followed in pursuit.
Jianxiong punched the chest of the person next to him and pressed a hand against a nearby dilapidated car, his large body nimbly rolling over the hood to temporary safety behind the vehicle, avoiding bullets and superpowers aimed at him.
Li Qian, holding a gun, blasted the head off a burly man who had found a position to shoot at Jianxiong; bits of skull and brain painted the ground.
“Fuck, Li Qian has betrayed us!” the blood splattered one of the accomplices, who screamed in shock and disbelief.
The most trusted man of Shen Du had turned his back on them.
This took everyone by surprise.
Those who had been concentrating fire on Jianxiong instantly divided, half of them ready to shoot at Li Qian, but he had already vanished without trace.
What terrified them even more was that Zhao Changsheng, recognized as the most powerful wielder of superpowers, cast a Thunder Ball onto the thigh of a burly man about to follow into the office building, causing the man to wail and collapse to the ground.
“I won’t allow you to hurt my Momo,” she said with a wicked smile, the very image of a lethal beauty.
As soon as the words left her mouth, someone fearlessly blocked her way—the person was radiating a golden color and looked invulnerable to blades and guns.
He threatened Zhao Changsheng, “Zhao Changsheng, don’t forget the agreement you had with our boss!”
“Agreement?” She let out a seductive laugh, her fox-like eyes turning dangerous, and the Thunder in her hands crackled fiercely: “Yes, we had an agreement, but after your boss succeeded in his plan, he never intended to let me go, which annoys me quite a bit.”
At that, she activated the superpower within her body, attacking him with endlessly murderous intent, her hands turning into claws.
Momo followed Lu Chen as they ran swiftly through the stairwell.
Although she had only three days of training, the results were significant, and she still retained most of her stamina.
The speeds of both parties were matched, continuously maneuvering through the stairwell.
They couldn’t aim properly, and a stocky man, slightly shorter in stature, darted up behind Ah Da.
“I’ll handle this.”
He reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out a seed, flinging it upward with force.
His hand shone with a green light, and several vines shot up into the air, rapidly growing toward the higher floors as they followed their master’s will, one of which wrapped around the ankles of Su Mo and Lu Chen.
To avoid injuring her head, Su Mo covered it and forcibly rolled over, only to be yanked down and slammed hard against the stairs.
“Uh,” she grunted, pain spreading throughout her entire back.
Half of Lu Chen’s body was hanging outside, his foot caught by the vine in mid-air, one hand clutching the railing with veins popping as he resisted, preventing himself from falling.
The Ice Blade in his other hand quickly coalesced and sliced through the vine around his foot, and using incredible arm strength, he flipped back onto the staircase.
Su Mo, not caring about the pain, cut through the vine, drew the revolver from her thigh, and started shooting at the source of the seeds.
Her marksmanship was exceptionally precise, and the vines were quite fragile; they retracted and turned yellow after a few shots.
Ah Da, seeing they were successfully held back, raised his gun to spray bullets at them.
After a quick glance down, Su Mo, finding her gun out of bullets, slotted it back into her leg holster and threw a corpse from her System Bag to block the incoming bullets.
The head and body rolled to Ah Da’s feet.
He instantly recognized the corpse: “Hu Er!”
Their brother!
It was really these two who killed him!
“Kill them!” Ah Da’s eyes bulged with rage as he yelled furiously, his gun in hand and superpower surging.
Earthen mounds popped out from under the stairs where Su Mo and Lu Chen stood, and the concrete floor buckled above layer by layer, causing the staircase to begin collapsing.
Seeing this, the man beside Ah Da reached into his pocket, ready to pull out another seed.
“Run!” Lu Chen shouted quietly and pulled Su Mo over him, and two Ice Blades shot out rapidly toward the person releasing the vines.
The man, unable to dodge in time, was pierced in the heart by a blade.
Blood splattered all over the wall, and with eyes wide open, he fell unwillingly.
The two sped up their pace once more.
The staircase continued to collapse behind them until Ah Da’s superpower was exhausted, and they still hadn’t caught them.
He shot a furious burst at the stairwell and snapped viciously, “Seal off the exits!”
A few of them hurried downstairs.
Su Mo followed Lu Chen all the way to the rooftop; he kicked the door to the roof open, and both walked out.
The fierce sunlight and gusts of hot air caused her a moment of dizziness.
“Take a sip,” the man offered her some Biluochun Tea from his bag.
