Lord of End of World

Chapter 75

Lin Wenbo and his entourage were searching for supplies from house to house. In this group, all of them were talented and powerful ability users, but when it came to actual combat, they lacked courage and experience. It was obvious that they had trouble with first-level zombies who were more powerful and quicker, but they were also very reluctant to deal with clumsy primary zombies. There were a few whose natures were weak and timid. These people were already scared stiff and had tears running down their face, completely losing all their fighting power.

Lin Wenbo dealt with four evolved zombies and looked at Zhao Ying and Li Jie, both of who were shivering in the corner and shook his head in disappointment.

So what if they are talented? Without a strong heart, giving them power was like a child holding a giant sword. It may look powerful, but in fact, one couldn't support it so, what's the point.

"Get back on your feet. If you can't kill zombies, you should at least be able to outrun them. Are you waiting for zombies to eat you?" Lin Wenbo indifferently reprimanded them before raising his hand to signal to several people with more calm personalities to step forward and pull them along.

These people supported each other and walked toward a residence, hoping that after the fight, they would have a good harvest to soothe their devastated hearts.

Just as they walked towards the door of the cellar, they met Gong Xiangyi who was coming up from below. She brushed her hair back and regretfully said, "There's nothing inside. In the summer, the cellars are normally empty. Let's go inside the house instead to check."

The crowd heard her words and their excited expressions immediately died. Some people didn't give up and went down to see, but seeing that it was empty and there wasn't even a grain, they were very disappointed.

Now, everyone had to enter the house to search for things like rice left by the owners and snacks and biscuits that could still be eaten. Although there were only a few things, it was still better than nothing.

Lin Wenbo looked at the clean and perfectly empty cellar. When he came up, he stared at Gong Xiangyi, glaring at her and opened his mouth to say something.

Right then, the sound of distant bells rang out in the sky above the village and penetrated into the ears of the people. The bell came from the east side of the village and Lin Wenbo's heart felt tight. He immediately dropped the issue with Gong Xiangyi and ran to the source of the sound. At the same time, Song Haoran immediately killed an evolved zombie in front of him and ran in the direction of Sunguping.

In Sunguping, the ancient bell was still ringing and still echoed out. Li Dongsheng held the rope of the bell in his hand and stared at its trail. The other eight people were in their fighting position and in pairs of two stood back to back, they were all tense due to their nervousness.

Gong Lixin's hands were beside his body and his body was straight. His fighting posture looked easy and leisurely, which allowed his team members to see his confidence. Despite the ridiculousness and danger, despite the fact they were facing hundreds of zombies at the same time, they still did not hesitate and were fearless. Because they believed this young man more than believed in themselves. (T/N: The belief of the cult is strong)

"Be ready. I will send one or two zombies your way and you will kill it together." Gong Lixin whispered. Even before his voice fell, he moved in a ghostly manner as the first zombie that heard the sound came. He ferociously kicked one zombie while grabbing hold of the collar of another before throwing it into the battle circle of Wang Tao and the others.

Wang Tao and the other members' eyes were bright and they quickly waved their weapons, ready to kill it. Eight people faced off an evolved zombie. Although there was still a lack of tacit understanding in their cooperation and the use of abilities during battle was still not proficient, it was still very easy to kill it.

When Gong Lixin saw this, he would grab hold of the first zombie within reach and throw it towards Wang Tao and the others and let them face off against another zombie that rushed into their battle circle. After doing so, with both hands and feet, he would repel the rest of the zombies.

His ghostly figure left a shadow in the field, making the fight of Wang Tao and the others as secure as possible. Of course, he could turn all these evolved zombies into ash in an instant, but he didn't do that. Instead, he very patiently pushed them away then put one or two of them when Wang Tao and the others were ready.

When Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran arrived, they saw this scene. The youth's expression was very dull; his palm pushed and his foot kicked and a dead zombie would fly out once in a while, while one or two were given to his team members. It was as if, a female cheetah would capture a weak prey and hand it over to her cub to train it for survival.

Yes, in the eyes of others, he was so powerful that the evolved zombie was weak to him. In the hands of the young man, they were as weak as ants. He could play with them freely and could play with not only one enemy, but a hundred.

The crowd was stunned and stood on the sidelines and dared not enter. After a few more minutes, the primary zombies who were slow to move also arrived, and the wide Sunguping suddenly seemed crowded.

Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran wanted to lead their team to fight, but they retreated after hearing the cold voice of the teenager.

He summoned fierce flames and foggy snow and attacked the zombies. The hordes of zombies couldn't even struggle before they were turned into black ash and scattered in the air while another group of zombies were frozen into ice and stood in place.

More and more evolved zombies came. The teenager didn't have the patience to handle them one by one. He closed his five fingers together to form a knife and neatly cut off the heads of all the excess zombies. And his team members have killed many zombies and slowly became a joint force two, then four and finally, even the younger generation, Sun Jie, could condense a few ice cones and fly them through between an evolved zombie's brows.

The young man who was young and tender had gone through a few dozen minutes of killing and had evolved into a beast among human beings. He resembled an incarnation of Ashura and seemed to be killing the body of gods. He killed them and they succumbed to his power. The other two groups watched on and their heart jumped and burned with envy.

"Major General, I really envy those team members!" The soldiers standing next to Song Haoran slowly let go of her breath, sighing in a low voice.

Young Master Gong not only had unrivalled strength but also had tenacious belief and selfless love. His ruthlessness towards the enemy brought out his deep affection for his team members. In order to let his team members grow quickly, he tried his best and spared no effort. How lucky was it to meet such an unselfish friend in this life?

Song Haoran didn't answer his words. His sharp eagle eyes were not willing to leave Gong Lixin. At this moment, he clearly realized that Gong Lixin held his heart. The young man held it completely and he didn't even want it to be returned to him. In the past, such actions would be considered a commendable move by him. But now, he couldn't say anything for the fullness of his heart was filled with longing.

He didn't want to be only considered as Gong Lixin's friend. He wanted to be the most important, special and 'unique' person in the teenager's mind. He wanted to be superior to everyone, even Uncle Gong, no matter what. The hot burning feelings burned into ashes and he was left with a sweet feeling.

His dark eyes were filled with fanatical love as Song Haoran stared at the teenager who continued his slaughter. He laughed and laughed, and his laughter contained the firmness of his resolve.

Seeing his expression, Zhao Ying, whose legs were still soft, felt as if a big hole opened up in his chest and he didn't know how to fill it up. How could he measure up to Gong LIxin? Compared to Gong Lixin, he was just a small rice grain. He could never compete with him for Song Haoran.

Lin Wenbo glanced at his good friend and his eyes turned to the dazzling teenager on the field once again. The pain in his chest made him want to lose control. The teenager in front of him looked like the sun and, and although it was breathtaking, it was something he couldn't touch in this life. Aside from watching him from afar, he secretly thought about him, but there was no way for him.

The tingling of his chest was becoming more severe. His hands clenched into fists, and you could see how white they were.

Gong Xiangyi recovered from the horror and screamed, "How can he do this? If he kills all the first level zombies, what do we do? How can we upgrade without crystal nuclei?"

Lin Wenbo stared at her for a long moment and tried to maintain his calm tone. He quietly said, "You want to get nuclei, the go and kill and get them yourself, I won't stop you! Anyone who wants to go, go ahead!" His team members looked at him and into his sharp eyes.

Everyone was silent. No one dared to go forward and steal his kills. Young Master Gong's kills were not something they could think of getting. Before, they dared to take action, but now, they couldn't even afford to even think about it. Thousands of zombies were slaughtered by one person and none of them could resist Young Master Gong.

"If you don't want to kill zombies, then go and collect supplies for the base. Let's go." Lin Wenbo said before raising his hand to signal them along.

Everyone promised of doing so and retreated from Sunguping. There was no way they could blame Young Master so, they took the opportunity to get more food. Song Haoran saw them leave and left with his team members as well.

While team members moved far ahead, Lin Wenbo grabbed Gong Xiangyi's arm and brought her to a corner and whispered, "Gong Xiangyi, don't smuggle the goods. These things are for everyone, not just for you. You're hurting the interest of the base. Do you know that because of the lack of food you misappropriated, people in the base might starve to death? If you let me discover this the next time, you will honestly stay on the base the next time and won't come out."

After his words fell, he couldn't bear to see Gong Xiangyi's face and didn't bother to turn around as he left. Gong Xiangyi's chest violently rose and fell as she stood alone for a long time as she dealt with her anger.

The killings in Sunguping were still going on. Even Li Dongsheng, who was on the sidelines, was also motivated by the high morale of his team members, carrying a knife and, without hesitation, slashing here and there.

After nearly one-hour of killing, Sunguping had already become a battlefield where the blood flowed like a river. The bodies of zombies were strewn everywhere outside of their battle circle. There wasn't even a place to rest their foot. The summer breeze blew and the thick bloody smell spread up into the sky.

Wang Tao and the others had long become exhausted. Their hands and feet trembled and they could barely stand without support. Gong Lixin on the other hand, didn't even have a drop of sweat and his breath was not compromised. His light clothes leisurely swayed in the wind as he looked at Li Dongsheng and faintly said, "Go and ring the bell again."

Li Dongsheng let out a sigh and pulled the rope to ring the bell without hesitation, ringing the big bell.

The large bell rang throughout the area and Li Dongsheng pulled at it a dozen more times before staring at the intersection as he prepared himself for a fight. However, after a minute passed, no zombies appeared. Two minutes passed and there was still no sign of movement.

After waiting for three or four more minutes, Gu Nan pushed up against his knees and his burning eyes landed on the leisurely and upright Gong Lixin. He decided to open his mouth and say, "Young Master Gong, I think we probably killed all the zombies in this village."

"So soon?" Gong Lixin scrunched up his brows and looked around at the mountain of dead corpses. After pondering for a while, he nodded and said with a smile, "Well done!"

Three successive 'bangs' rang out as the still-standing people suddenly fell on their knees. Their hands were on the ground and they couldn't control their laughter. Even if they died, they still got Young Master Gong's approval. But not only did they not die, under Young Master Gong's protection, they didn't even get a single wound and also killed all the zombies in the village. What was this? A miracle? Today, they had overcome themselves, and tomorrow, they would eventually defeat the catastrophe that destroyed their world.

Gong Lixin's mouth was hooked up in a smile as he quietly looked at the nine people who kept on laughing. His hard walls were unconsciously cracked and there was a new kind of emotion. An emotion he had never experience before slowly penetrated into his heart.

Caressing his hot chest, he also laughed with a small voice. Letting the nine of them lay down and rest, he dug out the nucleus of the evolved zombies one by one and packed them in a bag.

When Song Haoran and the others heard the endless sound of bells, they ran back to check the situation only to be faced with hundreds of thousands of zombie bodies.

"Gong, Young Master Gong's village!" A soldier covered his mouth and nose, blocking the suffocating smell, stuttered out.

"Go. Get the food of each household and carry it to the open space of the village. I'll inform the base to send us a few more trucks to help us transport." Song Haoran said numbly, but with a smile.

At the base, Gong Yuanhang, who was waiting anxiously for his son's return, immediately connected the phone. After listening to the report, he still had an incredible expression on his face.

"Leader, what's wrong?", asked uneasily a district leader reporting on their district's activity.

"The group led by Lixin killed all the zombies in Yangjia Village. Go and send out a few trucks to help transport the food back." Gong Yuanhang stabilised his thoughts and ordered.

The district leader was stunned and ignored his image. All killed? More than a thousand zombies killed in less than two hours? Impossible?! When the mission was first issued, they expected that it would take at least four or five days to completely rid Yangjia Village of zombies.

"Right, send a few more people to the vegetable gardens of Yangjia Village to pick vegetables. After Yangjia is secured, we can easily send people who know how to farm to take care of the fields. Alright, let's get going." Gong Yuanhang raised his hand and urged him on.

The district leader followed his order and sent the car to meet the teams.

When the people saw the food and vegetables brought in by one truck after another, they immediately boiled up with joy and hope spread out like the sea, drowning the entire base. Gong Lixin and his team also became famous and embarked onto the path to become legendary existences.
