Lord of End of World Chapter 77

The petrochemical group was really rich. The gates to the fuel depot was truly a magnificent sight to behold. The open s.p.a.ce in front of the gate was vast and was purely used for decorations. It was mostly decorated with bonsai trees and flowers.

Five armoured vehicles slowly pa.s.sed the gates, attracting a lot of evolved zombies. But the thick steel plates and strong fuel smell masked the smell of humans. They scratched the vehicles with their sharp nails, but seeing that it didn't do anything, they went back to idling.

When the zombies were no longer curious about these moving iron boxes, all the ability users slowly let go of the breaths they had been holding and looked at Gong Lixin.

Gong Lixin looked at the terrain through the window, picked up the communicator and ordered, "Reverse and exit the open s.p.a.ce. This will be our battle circle so be careful to not be affected."

Five cars exited the open s.p.a.ce and stopped on the roadside.

"Big Brother Song, you have to wait here for a moment before you can go in." Gong Lixin cautiously addressed Song Haoran.

Song Haoran nodded and told him to be careful in a soft voice.

Gong Lixin promised and said to Li Dongsheng, "Give me the cup."

Li Dongsheng's book disappeared in mid-air and became a stainless-steel cup. Seeing this bright and light cup, some members of their group were shocked, especially Luo Dahai. The confused look in his eyes from just having woken up instantly faded and a pair of fierce eyes emitting a faint green light replaced them. He looked like a wolf that had been hungry for several days.

"Okay, let's go. Open up the way for Sun Tiantian." Gong Lixin ordered and his team members acted in unison, their relaxed and easy-going behaviour disappeared and was replaced by fanatical warfare. The chill revealed by their eyes were akin to that of murderers and the group left behind in the truck felt their scalps go numb.

"Young Master Gong isn't thinking of using that trick, is he?" Two members of Song Haoran's group whispered amongst each other.

His companion gulped, his voice a bit dry as he said, "That's probably it." His words just fell when his throat seemed to feel uncomfortable and there was a feeling of nausea.

They saw a team of idlers turn into a group of madmen in just a second. The five newly recruited people were shocked. Then they saw the blanched face of their teammate who looked like he had consumed a.r.s.enic, and their curiosity reached new heights.

Gong Lixin and his team got out of the vehicle from the front, and the newly recruited members squeezed in front of the window to watch. They wanted to see the real power of the legendary strongest team.

"I advise you not to look…" An old team member kindly advised. He barely even finished speaking before he was dragged by his companion, to prevent him from stopping the recruits.

The five turned back and questions filled their eyes. The team members who had taken the good old man down waved at them and smiled before saying with a dry mouth, "Look, look. You will know after seeing it yourself."

Although the five people hesitated, they still couldn't hold back their curiosity. They looked out the window.

They saw Gong Lixin standing in the same place as the stainless-steel cup. The other eight people stayed together slashing down screaming zombies except Sun Tiantian, who was in the center and ran around the big empty s.p.a.ce the size of a basketball court.

The skills of the eight people were indeed true and their abilities in killing zombies were strong. They easily confronted the zombies with wonderful knife work and st.u.r.dy physical strength. Don't mention the first-level zombies without abilities, even the second-level zombies with abilities were often too late in releasing their attacks when they died under their blades. Sun Tiantian kept on running laps and there was a circle of black blood that formed around the open s.p.a.ce.

The five were stunned by the physical strength of the members of this team. After a while, they retrieved their hanging jaws and curiously asked, "Why is she running around the open s.p.a.ce?"

"Ah, Sun Tiantian is an earth ability user. And a good one too. Every time she takes a step, the concrete floor where she stepped on and a few hundred meters below it would transform into sand." A team member kindly explained.

"What's the use of turning the concrete floor below her feet into sand? Isn't she wasting her ability?" The five people's eyes were closely locked to the movement of the group and they asked with a deeply confused tone.

The older members were blue and green and had a difficult time explaining. "Don't ask anymore, you will know when you see it."

Song Haoran's expression was very calm and he looked at the new members with a sense of interest, as if he was looking forward to the upcoming show.

The five people no longer asked questions and concentrated on observing the confounding group.

After protecting Sun Tiantian as she ran in circles, the nine returned to where Gong Lixin stood. They stopped killing zombies that ran their way when they heard and smelled them. Gong Lixin walked to the center of the open s.p.a.ce circled by Sun Tiantian and opened the lid of the stainless-steel cup and placed it on the ground. Then, at the tip of his fingertip, he condensed a small flame and threw it into the cup.

The liquid in the cup boiled and reddish mist gushed from the mouth of the cup and floated into the air.

The zombies who had fought against the nine people were excited and they all made their way over, like a h.o.a.rd of c.o.c.kroaches. Stinky saliva flowed out of their mouths and dripped to the ground. In the vicinity of the fuel depot, other zombies also smelled the scent and hurried over.

"A horde of zombies is coming! What's in the cup?" The five men screamed in horror.

"Only a cup of blood. Don't panic, nothing will happen." Song Haoran's arms were wrapped around his chest and his mouth curved up into a relaxed smile. The other members didn't have such strong psychological nerves. They had already turned pale and their lips, purple. However, the panic in their eyes was not because of fear, but more because of disgust.

"Is it okay to boil a cup of blood? Do you know how many zombies the b.l.o.o.d.y smell will bring? Tens of thousands of them! How are they going to deal with tens of thousands of zombies? Team leader, call them back! This is simply looking for death!" The five people anxiously shouted, but seeing Song Haoran's indifferent att.i.tude, they went to pull open the car door without much thought to go save the group.

Very satisfied with the reaction of those five people, Song Haoran smiled and held the handle of the door closed and firmly said, "Lixin hasn't finished. You all continue to watch. Believe in me!"

They stared at Song Haoran for a moment before finally retreating in their footsteps under his strong gaze. The five softly returned to their seats and looked out the window desperately. Their eyes immediately widened as big as saucers.

They saw countless black shadows flashing out from the corner of the nearby fuel depot that was rushing towards the ten people. Most of them were powerful first-level zombies, but there were also many second-level zombies, including a few high-grade zombies.

When zombies evolved from the first level to the second level, the original turbid eyes will gradually return to a clear colour and one could distinguish between white of the eyes and their irises. Different from humans though, their pupils were like those of a wild beast's and there would be no other emotions besides hunger in them. Everyone said that the eyes were the windows to one's soul. And with such a look in their eyes, the soul of second-level zombies must be even more terrible. Many ability users didn't dare look into their eyes that were filled with death and darkness whenever they fought against them.

Right then, so many zombies held hunger, thirst and greed in their eyes as they stared at the ten people in the open s.p.a.ce. Among the team members, there were a few whose pupils had turned into a different shade of colour, which made it fascinating to look at yet still caused people to shudder.

The five men looked back and saw Song Haoran's eyes, which had a trace of colour around his pupil. The team leader's eyes had changed, showing that his rank was that of a rare second-level high-grade or even a third-level ability user. Right now, only he could cover the team and safely bring the members of the team back. It should be known that if the eye colour of a team leader had not changed, then that team was considered to be weak. Of course, the team leader of the third group was one of the better ones, his iris had a layer of light gold colour which must mean that he was a metal system ability user. The strength of their leader wasn't bad either.

But Song Haoran didn't move, just smiled and waited patiently.

The five people felt cold in their hearts and, for the first time, doubted their choice in joining the Gong family base. However, the scene before their eyes shocked them and made them quickly forget their disappointment at the moment.

Outside of the window, the members of the team didn't go up and kill them as they did at the beginning, but patiently kicked zombies towards the center of the open s.p.a.ce. There was no fighting, no dazzling use of abilities. It was quite clean, and in just a few minutes nearly 100 zombies stood in the center of the open s.p.a.ce.

Gong Lixin saw this and shouted, "Retreat!"

The team members quickly retreated from the open s.p.a.ce and Gong Lixin stood at the edge of the open s.p.a.ce and inserted the blade in his hand into the ground. His internal force flowed through the blade and into the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

The spot Sun Tiantian had used her sandification, became the culprit that tore open the land. The cement blocks made a cracking sound and the cracks spread along the steps Sun Tiantian had taken and, eventually became a circle.

Gong Lixin turned the handle of his blade and forced more internal force into the ground, shattering the solid land under his feet. With a loud bang, the entire open s.p.a.ce collapse, forming a huge pit. The zombies who were kicked into the open s.p.a.ce instantly fell and became piles of dead meat.

The five people on the sidelines were stiff and trembled. They looked incredulously at the blade in the thin teenager's hand.

How much strength did it take to collapse a s.p.a.ce as wide as a basketball court? Could humans really do such a thing with their hands? Could such a peerless power that only appeared in legends, appear in front of them? They were completely stunned and couldn't believe their eyes.

However, the shock brought on by this team was far from over. Right when the open s.p.a.ce collapsed, Gong Lixin leapt high and fell lightly beside his companions. The ten stood there as all the zombies that attacked fell down the deep pit.

Luo Dahai walked up to the pit and sprinkled a large number of plant seeds then, with a wave of his hand, a soft green light appeared to catalyze the seeds' growth. Spiked vines madly spread out at the bottom of the pit and plunged into the bodies of zombies who were kicked into the pit. Like a vampire, the vines absorbed their bones and then quickly blossomed into white flowers before turning into a string of grape-like blueberries.

"Erosion vine? He actually has the seeds of Scutellaria?" The five people yelled with incredulities and were dizzy from one shocking reality to the next.

Scutellaria was one of the most horrific mutant plants that came into existence to date. Its vines absorbed bones of humans and zombies as if it was fertilizer. Once the berries burst open, its juice was more corrosive than even the strongest acid and could even melt metal. The seeds of this plant were weapons for all wood ability users, but no one had ever seen someone use it. It was because the people who tried to pick up its seeds were turned into corpses.

The bottom of the pit was covered with blue berries and the green vines showed their thriving state. However, the following actions of the ten people destroyed this unique beauty. They didn't even use their full force and didn't bother with unnecessary fighting. They only used fists, wind blades, fireb.a.l.l.s and ice cones to knock zombies into the pit. Their movements were fast and didn't drag on the fight.

These zombies, whether they were first-level or second-level, or even second-level high-grade, crushed a bunch of berries as they fell into the bottom of the pit. The blue juice from the berries instantly melted their bodies into a pool of black pus. There were more and more zombies falling in and Luo Dahai wasn't idle either. He once again catalyzed the seeds in the berries, forming a new blue-green h.e.l.l that engulfed these zombies.

Thousands of zombies roared at the bottom of the pit as they struggle, but were melted into a bubbly liquid. The think, pungent smell of roses came through the thick steel plates of the truck and into the noses of the waiting people, making them pale and nauseous.

This was a h.e.l.l created by human beings, which discouraged even zombies who smelled the same tragic smell of death. They already had a primitive sense of crisis now, so they were afraid and no longer went to attack the group of ten, but instead, turned around and fled and used all their efforts to escape.

In the apocalypse, only human beings were afraid of zombies and no zombies were frightened by humans and fled. However, these five people had finally seen a miracle on this day. The suffocating stench filled their noses and the deep pit of bones in front of their eyes had repeatedly stimulated their nerves, causing them to almost faint.

"Brother, hold on. It will be our turn to go out there later." An old team member crumpled two pieces of paper to plug his nose as he moved his line of sight away from the window as he kindly reminded them.

"I saw it. This is one of that team's famous stunts - the pit kill! When I first saw it, my legs were stiff from fear. After going back to the base, I had nightmares for days. I couldn't even eat rice properly. Hey, you. This is not the only trick the team has, but you'll get used to it by then.

“Newcomers need to go through a process of adaptation." The old team member, who initially encouraged the five people to look outside, joked.

The five people slowly turned around, pale and nodded with a stiff face as they all repeated in their hearts: the legendary most powerful team is fu**ing fierce! Even the zombies are scared!
