Chapter 109 - 107: When Mengde Laughs, Life and Death Are Unpredictable

Chapter 109: Chapter 107: When Mengde Laughs, Life and Death Are Unpredictable

"Boss, what’s going on with your mouth?"

Brother Jingfu asked, noticing the change in Mengde’s expression.

"It’s nothing."

Mengde shook his head.

’So, this Run Tu guy is a real simpleton, huh?’ he thought.

’And a simpleton like this is pretty easy to wrap around my finger.’

Soon enough, Mengde had learned his story.

Just as he’d said, Run Tu was from the nearby Zhou Family Village.

After the apocalypse began, he had banded together with survivors from a few neighboring villages to form a Survivor Base.

Relying on their awakened Superpowers, the group managed to survive this apocalypse with nothing but kitchen knives, axes, fishing spears, and other melee weapons.

When the supplies nearby ran out, they were forced to venture out in search of food.

Who would have thought that as soon as they left, they would run into that Tier Four Zombie from before.

Dozens of them had entered the warehouse, but now, only the five of them were left alive.

To be honest, for them to have escaped from that many zombies alive, they had to be pretty capable.

Run Tu was a Tier Three, S-Level Earth Superpower User.

The other four were all Tier Two Superpower Users.

Their characters weren’t bad either, at least from what Mengde had seen.

If Run Tu hadn’t risked his life to cover their retreat, the others would have long been dead among the zombie horde.

Hearing this, Mengde felt a desire to recruit them.

"It’s a shame we can’t beat that beast. We can’t avenge our brothers from the village."

It was clear that Run Tu and his group shared a deep bond.

Because as he spoke, the honest faces of Run Tu and his men were filled with hatred.

Their desire for revenge was palpable!

An idea sparked in Mengde’s mind.

’Isn’t this the perfect chance to recruit them?’

Of course, Mengde couldn’t just say that out loud.

’How can I dare to take on such a delicate job without showing off a little strength first?’

"By the way, Brother Mengde, are you guys also here to gather supplies?"

Mengde nodded.

’We’ve talked long enough. Time to deal with that Tier Four Zombie inside.’

"We’ll go with you."

As Run Tu spoke, the few men behind him nodded repeatedly.

"No need. You all can just watch."

"I’ll be quick!"

Mengde waved his hand, refusing their offer.

He didn’t think much of a mere Tier Four Zombie.

If he let Run Tu and the others follow him in, he’d probably have to waste energy saving them.

Watching Mengde and Aoxue walk resolutely toward the warehouse, Run Tu immediately grew anxious.

"Brother Mengde, be careful!"

"That zombie monster is really tough. Dozens of us were no match for it..."

Run Tu wanted to say more, but Brother Jingfu stopped him.

"Don’t worry, don’t worry! The boss is invincible!"

"No one is a match for the boss!"

"You guys just wait and see!"

Brother Jingfu was full of confidence, and he wasn’t just talking nonsense.

In all his time since the apocalypse began, he had never seen a single person or zombie last more than three moves against the boss!

He just steamrolled his way through everything!

Even he, a Tier Three Peak, was no exception!

And while they were talking, Mengde and Aoxue had already reached the warehouse entrance.

The inside of the warehouse was pitch-black, like an abyss swallowing everyone who entered.

Mengde wrapped his arm around the woman’s waist.

A blush immediately flashed across Aoxue’s stunningly beautiful face.

She subconsciously tried to struggle, but Mengde stopped her.

"Don’t move!"

"I’m trying to locate that zombie!"

’He hadn’t wanted this woman to come in with him in the first place.’

’But she just had to come in and see for herself...’

’What could he do... He couldn’t very well refuse her...’

Unexpectedly, however, hearing his voice only made Aoxue struggle even more.

"No... You’re touching... *that*..."

Mengde’s Telekinesis Perception was active the whole time.

A quick scan was one thing...

...but after seeing it, all he could think was... ’holy crap...’

His hand... had been hovering over the Iceberg Goddess’s mysterious ’forbidden zone’...

’Awkward...’

"Ahem... force of habit, force of habit..."

Aoxue’s face grew even redder.

’No wonder Jiayi was always saying this man’s specialty was the "sneak attack"...’

’This sneak attack really was impossible to defend against!’

But she had to endure it. Making a sound would be bad.

"Mmmph~"

Watching the Iceberg Goddess struggling to endure, Mengde couldn’t help but reveal a wicked smile.

’This woman... she can really take it...’

As they ventured deeper, the inside of the warehouse grew brighter.

What came into view was a mountain of supplies... and over a hundred zombies.

At this moment, they were staring hungrily at the intruders.

And at the very back, the Tier Four Zombie stood imposing.

"Finally found you!"

Mengde grinned. Its fate was sealed.

Even with over a hundred zombies in the way, the Tier Four Zombie immediately sensed the impending danger.

"HRAAGH!"

Following its shriek, the hundred-plus zombies surged forward like a tidal wave.

There were Tier Ones, Tier Twos, and Tier Threes everywhere!

But Mengde showed no fear.

Neither did Aoxue. Leaning against this man, she had nothing to be afraid of!

Mengde directly cast "Black Tortoise Defense," a top-tier defensive tool, on her!

With this protecting her, she wouldn’t have to be afraid even if she ran into that Tier Four Zombie!

Of course, Mengde wasn’t about to give these zombies a chance to get close.

"Earth Swamp!"

This was the second Earth Superpower he had obtained from Fei’er that night!

This Superpower was simple. It had only one purpose!

To entrap, slowing down any person or zombie hit by it, and eventually devouring them with the power of the swamp!

And it was an area-of-effect crowd control Superpower!!!

Now, with a soft cry, an earthy-yellow ball of light had already condensed in his hand!

Watching the oncoming zombie horde, he threw it with a backhand motion.

"YEET!"

A bright yellow light instantly bloomed in the midst of the zombie horde.

The next second, a swamp imbued with a mysterious devouring power formed beneath the zombies’ feet!

Black bubbles even gurgled to the surface!

The sight alone was terrifying!

The effect was also extremely clear; the zombies that had been baring their teeth and claws just moments ago were now immediately mired in it.

It was as if their legs had simply vanished.

They could only struggle endlessly where they stood.

But this was a swamp!

The more you struggle, the faster you sink!

And so, their zombie bodies began to sink, little by little...

And now, it was Aoxue’s turn to take the stage.

"Go for it! Use your Ice Superpower!"

’Since I already took advantage of her a little, I have to give her a chance to show off, right?’

’You have to give a little to get a little, don’t you?’

Hearing Mengde’s words, Aoxue nodded.

Pinning down his misbehaving hand, she extended her own fair hand, her face blushing.

An ice-blue light began to radiate!

The ground was immediately covered in frost.

And it spread, bit by bit, toward the zombies trapped in the swamp.

The swamp was naturally full of water, making it a perfect match for Aoxue’s Ice Superpower!

Soon, all the zombies were frozen solid right where they stood.

They were like individual works of art, quite the spectacle to behold...
