Outside the woods, Lin Qiao made no response to Gao Haoyun’s shouts, but stood at the edge of the woods, gathering the energy in the space toward the woods.
As Lin Qiao showed up and stared at the woods with a strong intent of killing, the group of zombies in her space who were feeling pretty bored immediately figured out that she had thrown another enemy into that woods and prepared to exhaust him or her to death.
“Who is it this time?” Lu Tianyi folded his arms as he leaned against the guardrail on the balcony of the second floor of the building he lived in.
“Awoo…” The young tiger was lying beside the guardrail lazily. It opened its mouth wide and bared its sharp teeth while yawning, then wagged its tail twice.
Downstairs, the ones who were playing cards and those who were sitting on the stairs counting ants had all stopped doing their things, now looking at the woods with curiosity. However, none of them moved toward the woods area.
They could use some snacks while watching that interesting show!
Jingyan was sitting on the edge of the balcony on the second floor of the building that was located next to Lu Tianyi’s. She curled one of her long legs and leaned against the wall, looking at the woods area expressionlessly.
At that moment, a stone suddenly appeared in Lu Tianyi’s hand. He threw the stone at a zombie who was bending in the vegetable field before his building.
“Pesticide! I’ll kill you if you stole any of my cucumbers!” He stared at the zombie and cursed.
In the field, Pesticide froze briefly, then slowly reached out a hand and caught a worm from the cucumber trellis. After that, he turned to look at Lu Tianyi while putting the worm into his mouth.
“I’m here for the worms!”
The others made no reaction to that, as Pesticide was always looking for worms to eat.
Lu Tianyi gave him an unfriendly glance, then turned to continue watching whatever was happening in the woods area.
“Owooo!” Bowwow ran under Lu Tianyi’s balcony and sat down, then raised its head and barked at the young tiger who was lying on the balcony. The young tiger glanced down at Bowwow, then turned its head away with dislike. It just put its chin on its folded paws, wagging its tail from time to time.
At that point, the mushroom darted out of the woods. With that, Bowwow immediately turned to the mushroom and forgot about the young tiger.
“Oh, the mushroom comes out!” Lu Tianyi said while watching the mushroom run over like a hurricane with its roots swinging quickly. The other zombies turned their eyes to the mushroom simultaneously, then quickly turned away. They knew that the mushroom would not stop in front of them!
As they thought, the mushroom rushed over and whooshed across the clearing before the three houses. When the mushroom came over, Bowwow sprung up happily to chase behind it.
The two of them made a large circle around the vegetable field before the house area, then dived into the grassland behind the field. Two seconds later, a bucket-sized snakehead popped up from the grass. Soon enough, the snakehead sank back into the grass and disappeared.
The zombies in Lin Qiao’s space were used to that. They only gave the zombie a quick glance before turning their heads back to the woods.
At that moment, the trees surrounding Gao Haoyun had all been frozen by him. He charged at a tree in front of him and kicked on its frozen trunk.
However, the tree stayed absolutely still.
A normal tree would have been shattered by a slight touch after being frozen by Gao Haoyun’s level-eight ice power. But now, his power was doing no harm to that tree.
“Bloody woman! Show your face! B*tch! You damned witch!” Gao Haoyun was so angry and panicked. He yelled at the top of his lungs, but that woman never showed up. After that, he started running in one direction. However, no matter how long he ran, the woods surrounding him always remained the same, with no edge to be seen.
The longer time he spent in that woods, the more agitated he felt. He couldn’t stay calm while thinking about his situation. He had one thought in his mind that was leaving that scary place. He believed that once he got out, his power would come back to him.
He ran for a long time and lost more and more of his energy. At last, he even needed to gasp for air. But, he still could not get out of these mysterious woods.
Gao Haoyun had even forgotten about his virus infection at this point. He forgot to suppress the virus in the injured area of his body, and it started spreading inside his body.
After a while of running, he suddenly started feeling cold and his limbs became powerless. He stopped and bent over, propping both palms on his knees to rest.
It was dark in the woods, so he didn’t notice that his fingers were turning black.
“You can’t run. And… you can’t survive,” Lin Qiao’s voice was suddenly heard from every direction.
Gao Haoyun immediately stood straight and cursed with a ferocious look on his face, “You bloody b*tch! Show your face if you dare! Do you think you can kill me by putting me into this place?”
“I don’t have to kill you. You’re about to be killed by the zombie virus. Haven’t you realized that yet?” Lin Qiao still didn’t show her face but teased him.
Hearing the word ‘virus’, Gao Haoyun was stunned. Then, his heart sank. He finally realized that he had stopped suppressing the virus near his wound. Currently, the virus had occupied his body.
No wonder he felt so cold! He had ice power, so how could he possibly feel cold!
Realizing that, Gao Haoyun despaired. He lost his flexibility as if he had gotten frozen up. Slowly, he raised his hands and looked at his fingers. Under the dim light, he saw his black nails.
As he was distracted, a flake of dark fire rose from behind him and suddenly wrapped up his head.
“Eh… Ah…” The strange scream that came from his throat ceased before it could be finished.
The fire shrouded his head and immediately grew larger, quickly spreading to the rest of his body. In a couple of seconds, a blue energy nucleus fell to the ground while Gao Haoyun’s entire body vanished.
Lin Qiao leaped down from a tree, then bent over and picked up the nucleus.
Gao Haoyun had no power to defend himself against her netherworld fire at his last moment because the virus was eating him. Lin Qiao could have let him turn into a zombie, but in that way, she would lose a level-eight energy nucleus. For the nucleus, she chose to kill him before his transformation.
If she didn’t kill him, his energy nucleus would lose its power and disappear when he died, and then he’d turn into an ordinary zombie.
