"Xiyu, lock on the level-2 mutant zombie," Jiang Liushi said and stepped on the gas pedal, holding the steering wheel with both hands.
"I'm trying." Ran Xiyu stared at the front. She expanded her spiritual vision in all directions slowly, searching for that level-2 mutant zombie. Just then, she suddenly closed her eyes and shouted, "I found it!" Ran Xiyu also shared its location with Jiang Liushi through her spiritual vision.
"I see it," Jiang Liushi answered. He paid all his attention to a flickering spiritual light, which was deeply hidden amongst a dense pack of zombies. At the same time, when looking at it, they got an intense sense of danger, just like the feeling an animal got when it faced its natural predator. Ordinary people would feel that way even when meeting ordinary zombies. As for a level-2 zombie, they could even freeze from fear and lose their courage to escape.
Suddenly, the level-2 mutant zombie seemed to have noticed them.
"It's coming our way!" Ran Xiyu said immediately.
Actually, Jiang Liushi's minibus' engine sound had attracted many zombies. Suddenly, amongst the approaching zombies, a growl as loud as a rumble of thunder sounded. Thousands of zombies roared at the same time as if answering to a general's calling. The roaring sound, as well as their charge, shocked Yang Ying and others who were still far behind.
"Inform Zhang Hai to drive a little farther away," Jiang Liushi ordered as the armored off-road could only deal with small zombies' group.
"Yes." Ran Xiyu immediately conveyed Jiang Liushi's order to Zhang Hai and Sun Kun in the rear.
…
From the small building where Wei Feifei and her desperate teammates were trapped, they heard a horn's sound, but they couldn't see anything. However, at this moment, they noticed that the raw and loud sound was coming from the streets below them.
"Is it Yang Ying?" Peach and some other members quickly took a sneak out from the curtain gap. After seeing the scene below, they were totally shocked. All the zombies in the vicinity were rushing in one direction just like a flood. And they saw clearly that at the other side, a minibus was rushing toward the terrible zombies' group.
"It isn't Yang Ying," Wei Feifei said. She was familiar with Yang Ying, and she knew that he didn't own a minibus. Moreover, it was impossible for Yang Ying to have come to their rescue as she had yet to give him their answer.
"Who are they?" someone asked.
They were all struck dumb as they saw that the minibus not only did not turn around to flee from the approaching zombies, but it was also accelerating toward the zombies' group! Compared to the entire zombies' torrent, the minibus looked too small and insignificant.
…
"Oh, my God! Those people are suicidal!" Yang Ying shouted after seeing this scene. He originally wanted to make a killing from this battle, but he suddenly changed his mind.
On the contrary, he thought that they should leave this place as fast as possible so as not to be affected. As for Wei Feifei, he knew that she and her team had now a chance to run away due to the minibus' distraction. His preparations were all for naught, and it was all because of the minibus. Yang Ying was annoyed to the point that he had the urge to kill somebody.
"F*ckers! Of all places, why did you have to choose this one to die!?" Yang Ying cursed.
In Yang Ying's mind, this group of people was doomed to die. Otherwise, there was no way he could leave the matter at that.
At this moment, Jiang Liushi's minibus collided with the zombies on the frontlines.
'Boom!'
When the loud noise reverberated through the entire area, Wei Feifei's pupils suddenly shrank, and Peach, as well as the other members, were also stunned. They all clearly saw a devastating airstream had come out of nowhere. From wherever the airstream passed, the zombies in its way would be turned to minced meat or sent flying! The terrifying airstream had smashed the blood-curdling torrent of zombies.
Yang Ying, who had just cursed, almost bit his tongue. His eyes opened wide, and his jaw almost touched the ground from the incredible scene. At the same time, he noticed that even though the minibus kept crushing the zombies in its path, its speed wasn't affected at all. And if that was not enough, he also saw a ram with sharp spikes coming out of the minibus. And after equipping it, the minibus slammed even more zombies in all directions while advancing further into the zombies' group.
"Eh?" One of his members exclaimed while swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
Yang Ying felt it was unbelievable. Not only was his conjecture wrong, but Jiang Liushi's shabby-looking minibus was akin to a mobile meat grinder, sweeping away all obstacles.
Suddenly, a zombie jumped from the zombies' group and landed on an abandoned car. The already exhausted tires went straight down, and the whole car fell directly on the ground with its roof completely sunken! Then, the zombie disappeared from its roof.
'Boom!'
A loud sound came from the minibus, and countless spider-web-like patterns appeared on the cab's window. The high-speeding minibus even showed a shift in direction.
Jiang Liushi immediately adjusted the direction according to Starseed's tips. The superior performance of the minibus had played a very strong role at this time. Jiang Liushi steeped on the brakes in time, and the harsh sound caused by the friction between tires and the ground sounded before the minibus' swaying tail swept a lot of zombies.
"The level-2 mutant zombie!" Yang Ying shouted.
They were all shocked to death when they saw that scene. The strength and speed of this mutant zombie were all terrible. If they were the one facing the mutant zombie, he was afraid that his car would already have been overturned. Yang Ying felt that he had underestimated the level-2 mutant zombie. Although it was a level-2 one, it was probably stronger than the average level. Yang Ying considered himself lucky. Fortunately, he had changed his mind, or else, he may have suffered a big loss.
However, he never expected that the minibus could show such a good performance. All of his members were astounded by that minibus, but they still believed it was a matter of time before it became scrap metal.
After Jiang Liushi stepped on the brakes, he immediately jumped out of the driver's seat. "Ying!" Jiang Liushi shouted. And then Ying immediately took over the driving of the minibus.
The zombies around had already surged like the tide, and Jiang Liushi's minibus was blocked. The window was surrounded by zombies, and the whole car was swaying. Those zombies could tear iron with their teeth and fingers, but they couldn't even leave a scratch on Jiang Liushi's minibus.
'Boom!'
Suddenly, an explosive sound echoed and a raging flame followed, wrapping all the zombies before the minibus. The thickened gasoline could last for ten minutes as soon as it came in contact with a combustible substance, and sparks would splash around and trap more zombies into the flame! Thousands of degrees of high temperature caused the air around the minibus to be distorted.
Initially, everyone was under the impression that the minibus would be unable to run wild again, but to the extraordinary scene left them all shocked. The minibus repeatedly subverted their common sense.
"Is it really a minibus? It is a weapon loader!" Yang Ying exclaimed in shock.
Jiangning's survivors thought highly of their cars. In order to judge whether a team was strong or not, the cars they were driving played a significant role. But this minibus was indeed outrageous!
Yang Ying gulped, and then he said, "Even if that minibus is strong, it's useless. It's impossible for it to attack that level-2 mutant zombie!"
"I agree with you." Fang Shengjin nodded.
Seeing Jiang Liushi's minibus push its way by shoving or humping, Fang Shengjin's expression finally changed. That level-2 mutant zombie was simply a humanoid mutant beast. But it was more powerful and flexible than a mutant beast.
At this time, a saucer-shaped room was raised on the minibus' roof. Inside it was Jiang Liushi carrying his sniper rifle. In an instant, Jiang Liushi's gaze became extremely focused. The level-2 mutant zombie couldn't be captured by the naked eyes, but in the mental field, it could be locked by Jiang Liushi. At the same time, Jiang Liushi activated his brain domain. As a result, everything around them fell in slow motion before Jiang Liushi's eyes, and he swept through the distant zombies' group.
'Where is that level-2 mutant zombie?'
Seeing a sniper in that minibus, Wei Feifei became excited. She was also a sniper, and due to her special ability, her team could live in Jangning. An excellent sniper could kill more powerful enemies than themselves. Wei Feifei's sniper ability was also famous in Jiangning, but that level-2 mutant zombie was too powerful to be shot. Otherwise, how could they have been trapped there for a week? She really wondered about that sniper's ability.
"Feifei, almost all the zombies were attracted by that minibus," One of her members said suddenly. In fact, their encirclement had been transferred. In other words, they could slip away without any danger. It was indeed an excellent chance for them to escape.
However, Wei Feifei hesitated for a bit, but she made up her mind and said, "You go first. I will stay to help." She could support Jiang Liushi so it would be better. After all, this strange team had rescued them. Moreover, Wei Feifei thought it was impossible for them to succeed. At most, they could delay the inevitable, but she still decided to help in return.
Peach shook her head and said, "Well, I'd also like to stay here." She didn't want to leave Wei Feifei alone, and she also thought that Wei Feifei's decision was right. After all, that team had helped them.
'Bang!'
However, just at that moment, a gunshot sounded, and the sniper in Jiang Liushi's hands spewed a long flame.
As soon as Wei Feifei saw that, she looked through her sniper rifle's scope and narrowed her eyes slightly. The moment she did that a small drop of water appeared in her eyes and everything in her sight became clear rapidly.
But Wei Feifei could not find the level-2 mutant zombie, but instead, she clearly saw a new wave of fresh blood.
'Hit it?! Unimaginable!' However, she wasn't sure.
Jiang Liushi was preparing for the second shot. He had already paid all of his attention to the first shot, but it had just caused the zombie a flesh wound. It was obvious that the level-2 mutant zombie had an extremely fast speed. Fortunately, it definitely had a certain impact on the movement of that mutant zombie.
Jiang Liushi had already used his brain domain abilities to the limit. Everything around him, even the dust in the air could be clearly seen by him.
Suddenly, the level-2 mutant zombie appeared in a group. It stepped directly on the zombies and rushed toward Jiang Liushi's minibus, and its target was the gunner room!
Jiang Liushi had completely irritated the level-2 mutant zombie.
"I found it!" Wei Feifei also captured the mutant zombie's figure, but she couldn't pull the trigger. It was too fast! She could only see the afterimage of that mutant zombie. From the motion of pulling the trigger to the bullet hitting the target, some time was needed. As a result, it was impossible for her to shoot that zombie. Her heart was tightened. With the terrible power of that level-2 mutant zombie, that gunner room would be flattened instantly. The sniper inside would be crushed into meat paste! Wei Feifei's heart was full of despair and regret. She wanted to support them, but she didn't even have the chance to shoot.
Yang Ying, who was watching that scene in the distance, felt nervous as soon as he saw that level-2 mutant zombie. Only he as well as Fang Shengjin could catch an image of that level-2 mutant zombie. As for the other members, they could only feel a kind of strange force, which forced them to run away as quickly as possible.
However, in the gunner room, Jiang Liushi remained as steady as a rock.
'Boom!'
At this moment, the level-2 mutant zombie abruptly appeared in front of Jiang Liushi's minibus, but it came to a sudden stop. They could all see its long arms and feet. The first time, Jiang Liushi had caused a flesh wound on its leg, but now a big hole had appeared on its abdomen. Although the zombie's body had a strong defense, it was impossible to block the destructive and penetrative power that the sniper's bullets carried from such a close range.
Wei Feifei suddenly looked up and stared at the sniper incredulously as the level-2 mutant zombie had been stopped within a second.
Yang Ying almost jumped up from his seat. 'This…The f*ck? The level-2 mutant zombie was hit? Impossible!'
