Chapter 39 (1/2)
With Yu Yue's guidance, they made it to the park without any incidents.
A moment later, another one of their cars came rus.h.i.+ng towards them, as a bolt of ice fired into the distant. Bai Jing recognized this as the manifestation of someone's mutant ice powers. Xiao Sa's men must be really talented people.
After getting off the car, Bai Jing was surprised and also found it a bit strange to learn that the owner of the ice power was Xie Minhang. If he was not mistaken, in his last life Xie Minhang should have been a psychic warrior, so how could his powers have mutated into the ability to control ice in this lifetime?
But the reality was that if he could be reborn, then a person changing their mutant powers couldn't be a big deal. So in fact, after thinking about it, he decided not to probe this situation any further. The more ferocious Xiao Sa's men were, the more capable they would be at dealing with the current situation.
“Run quickly.” Yu Yue shouted as he pointed a shaky finger towards a certain direction.
Everyone's minds focused and Bai Jing intently stared at the direction that Yu Yue was pointing towards. Then suddenly, the third car came from a dirt road, followed by more than a hundred vicious looking zombies. He didn't hesitate for even a moment, as he brought out his gun and coldly said: ”Aim for the head and use a silencer.”
Hearing his words, those who had wanted to run back into the cars paused, a cold sweat breaking on their foreheads, and their hearts thundering loudly in their chests. Young master, this is not more than ten zombies but more than one hundred zombies.
Without waiting for them to make up their minds, a solemn and murderous aura surrounded Bai Jing's whole body, before the m.u.f.fled sound of bullets firing was heard, one accurate shot after another. Even the man who had previously been doubtful of Bai Jing's abilities couldn't help but be impressed by him.
Bai Jing saw them staring, and frowned: “What are you doing?”
Li Yi’s shrugged while shaking the gun in his hand and said: “No silencers.”
They had just stopped in this area so they could reorganize themselves. The sound of bullets firing would definitely rouse the curiosity of other people in the vicinity, or even attract more zombies to their location.
Bai Jing didn't bother being conspicuous as he took several guns directly from his dimension, before tossing them to the other: “I'll divide them up yourselves.”
“Thank you young master Jing.” Li Yi smiled. This time it was a sincere thank you. My G.o.d! Not only were the guns good, but he didn't expect that this young master Jing would be such a genuine person. At least towards them, he hadn't hidden anything.
The ability to use a hidden dimension? Li Yi eyes lit up. The first thing that came to mind was the convenience of moving things.
Bai Jing wasn't interested in paying attention to him. No matter how he looked at it, he needed to continue concentrating his energy on shooting at the heads of the zombies coming towards them.
Several other people who didn't want to be left behind on the action also quickly made their move. Then they saw a speck of light s.h.i.+ning on top of the car that was approaching them, which then turned into a large flame.
”f.u.c.k! Has someone else awakened their powers? “Liu Wei shouted as the flame came alive. Admiration flashed in his eyes when the fire grew even more ferocious.
Bai Jing thought to himself: that is the ability to control fire, isn't it? It wasn't surprising that people worthy of being part of the criminal underworld would awaken mutant powers. What was unexpected was that all their awakened abilities were in the attack category.
Bai Jing sneered, not bothering to take this to heart and only indifferently saying: ”In addition to these abilities, when facing a life and death situation, you can experience a breakthrough in your spiritual power, which can also stimulate any hidden potential in your body.”
Liu Wei’s eyes lit up and the others also seemed to have perked up their ears, their expressions eager as they rushed, like a bunch of barbarians, to fight with the zombies.
“Young master Jing, is what you said really true?”
Bai Jing didn't look at them. Instead he shot at a zombie's head and then coolly said: ”It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. The important thing to know is that if you are scratched by a zombie, you will also become a zombie after seven days. You must be careful.”
Everyone froze. As they stood there silently, s.h.i.+vers run through some, while others began to think about the brothers who had been scratched, thinking about their elder brother’s decisions. At first they hadn't clearly understand them, but now after hearing Bai Jing's words…
The energy around Yang WenHao suddenly became dark, his eyes turning red as he aggressively asked while still firing his gun: “How would you know?”
Bai Jing sneered. Realizing that being kind wouldn't cut it, he said loud and clear: “I will always have information, so you better remember to keep your mouth tightly shut. If it hadn't been for my respect for Xiao Sa, I would have already sent you to your death.”
Without stopping his shooting, Li Yi quickly maneuvered his way towards them, in the hopes of mediating between them: ”Please don't get angry young master Jing. It's just that his heart is aching because his brother was scratched by a zombie, and will probably have to be locked up in a cage. Don't tell me there's no hope for him?”
Bai Jing shot him a quick glance: “There is. If he can awaken a mutant power within those seven days, then he won’t turn into a zombie. He will need great willpower in order to do this. But…”
Bai Jing didn't finish his sentence. Not interested in dealing with them any longer, he quickly looked back at Xiao Sa who was in the car, a slight warmth filling his heart. This guy is always so tough, preferring to face everything all by himself.
There were fewer and fewer zombies, but now more than half of them were less than two hundred meters away from where they were. Seeing that the zombies were getting closer, Xie Minhang hurriedly said: “Head for the cars, we fight from there.”
Bai Jing didn't think twice as he and the others immediately got into the cars then slightly cracked open the windows to shoot out of. Seeing that the situation was now turning for the better, the originally nervous mood turned to relief in everyone's heart.
Even Yu Yue couldn't resist the itch to pick up a gun, which he aimed and accurately shot at a zombie's head, shocking everyone. Liu Wei was flabbergasted: “Little brother, it seems like this isn't the first time you have handled a gun, right?”
Yu Yue was stunned as excitement started welling up in him again. He didn’t think that shot would be so accurate. He just followed his intuition, and so when he aimed he instantly hit the target. He was feeling quite proud at the moment so he bragged: ”Brother, of course this isn't my first time using a gun.”
It was obvious to Bai Jing that if compared to other people, a psychic warrior would definitely be better. Looking at Yu Yue's smug expression put him in a bad mood, so he decided to burst his bubble and said: ”The gun you previously handled was a water-gun, right?”
Yu Yue's ego was instantly deflated making him annoyed, but he didn't dare refute him. His intuition told him that young master Jing absolutely knew about his situation, so he just pretended to laugh and said: ”young master Jing you flatter me. I have also used an electronic gun; playing CS (initials for game called Counter Strike) is super fun.”
