Chapter 742: Battle
Not far away.
Song Wenwen was crouching on the ground, holding her head.
Shivering.
The violent brainwaves caused her to freeze for a moment.
The fear from deep within her soul made her extremely uneasy.
Song Ning was sitting in the car, looking in shock in the direction of Leng Yebai, and he could feel the energy fluctuations coming from Leng Yebai.
Even though he was just a Fifth Rank Superpower User, Song Ning felt that Leng Yebai’s presence was even stronger than the Base Commander by a third.
When did Leng Yebai become so powerful?
Bai Xiqin rubbed her head hard.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she wouldn’t have given Fusang Tree Leaves to Zhang Yiming, or she would have done it secretly, not letting Leng Yebai follow!
Clearly, it was her own decision, how did Zhang Yiming end up clashing with Leng Yebai!
She remembered that Xiao Ming used to not get angry so easily, even if he was upset, he wouldn’t be like this.
"I regret it."
Zhang Yiming inexplicably said a sentence, his eyes bloodshot.
The scenes in his mind changed wildly, all of them were visions of the future.
Xiao Niu trusts humans too much now, in the future, she dies at the hands of human researchers, yet she still imagines collaborating with human research institutes.
The human research institute shouldn’t exist.
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming and Zhang Yiming’s memories were fused in this body, making Zhang Yiming restless.
Paranoia, mania, suppression, and various negative emotions intertwined.
Zhang Yiming could suppress his inner dissatisfaction, facing everything with a warm and sunny demeanor.
But Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming couldn’t.
He had lived through so many years without her in the apocalypse, worse than death.
Just hearing a bit of news about Bai Xiqin wanting to collaborate with the human research institute, he couldn’t control himself, unable to suppress that touch of resentment.
A crazed emotion flickered in Zhang Yiming’s eyes.
In that moment, Zhang Yiming even wanted to destroy all the human research institutes, destroy all the safe bases.
With only himself by her side, protecting her, no one could bully her.
Those eyes were deep to the extreme, completely void of the former warmth and sunlight.
The violent factors in Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming’s memories were magnified infinitely, and the fear of losing everything was blatantly laid bare in front of him.
The negative emotions reached their peak, Zhang Yiming was no longer disguised, the killing intent in his eyes was almost tangible.
At this moment, he truly wanted to kill Leng Yebai.
Leng Yebai stood in front of Bai Xiqin, noticing that Zhang Yiming had already begun to lose himself, and said in a low voice, "You go to Song Ning."
Bai Xiqin didn’t move, she could also feel that something was off with Zhang Yiming.
Black flames erupted from Zhang Yiming’s body, like a black Fire Dragon, ready to charge at Leng Yebai at any time.
The purple lightning on Leng Yebai’s body grew more intense, ready to strike Zhang Yiming at any time.
It was Zhang Yiming who made the first move.
The black Fire Dragon transformed into trails of Fire Snakes, rushing to attack Leng Yebai.
The black flames that came rushing were not scorching, but carried a chilly wind.
Zhang Yiming’s flames had always been a normal bright yellow, the black flames contained the zombie virus, too sinister, Zhang Yiming generally did not use them.
Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming always used the black flames, devouring flesh and blood, the resentment to destroy safe bases was completely aroused.
At this moment, Zhang Yiming could no longer discern whether he was his present self or his future self.
Purple lightning and black flames collided, transforming into a fierce energy storm.
A powerful wave surged from the point of impact.
Uplifting the snow on the ground.
Zombies within a ten-mile radius suddenly became quiet, no longer devouring flesh, standing trembling in place.
Whether ordinary zombies or High Rank Zombies, all were the same.
Bai Xiqin looked at Zhang Yiming and Leng Yebai tangled together, quickly mobilized her superpower, an invisible force of control suddenly acted upon them.
Leng Yebai knew it was Bai Xiqin, allowed the control to act on his body, superpowers agile, eyes constantly watching Zhang Yiming’s movements.
Zhang Yiming seemed to have already lost his senses, his eyes filled with bloodshot lines.
When the controlling force acted on him, black flames shot towards Bai Xiqin.
"Zhang Yiming!"
Leng Yebai was the first to react, blocking in front of Bai Xiqin, with lightning seeping from his fingertips to meet it.
The time to gather lightning was too short to completely neutralize it, part of the black flames directly burned onto his body.
Leng Yebai let out a muffled grunt, his body emanated a layer of frost, wrapping the black flames in frost, extinguishing the black flames.
"Zhang Yiming!"
Bai Xiqin’s control increased, forcing Zhang Yiming, who was in an attacking state, to take a step back.
Zhang Yiming’s crimson eyes had a moment of daze.
"Does it hurt?"
Green light seeped from Bai Xiqin’s fingertips, quickly landing on Leng Yebai’s abdomen.
The black flames had burned a hole in the down jacket, fortunately, Leng Yebai reacted quickly, preventing the flames from burning the skin, but the strong attack had impacted his body.
"It doesn’t hurt, I’m fine."
Leng Yebai grabbed Bai Xiqin’s hand, preventing her from continuing to heal, pulling her behind himself.
Bai Xiqin’s voice made Zhang Yiming calm down instantly, the black flames on his body dissipated immediately.
"You should wake up."
Leng Yebai could feel that Zhang Yiming had just been in a manic state.
He remembered Fan Liping’s words, saying Zhang Yiming had been different those days, his brainwaves very unstable.
Was it because of the fusion of memories?
"I’m sorry, I..."
Zhang Yiming didn’t answer Leng Yebai’s words, looked helplessly at Bai Xiqin, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.
The unknown irritability and ferocity just now inexplicably filled his mind, various obstinate emotional fluctuations were intense.
For a moment, he didn’t know what he was doing, who he was fighting.
He just wanted to kill the enemy.
Zhang Yiming’s heart sank to the bottom.
This is a zombie.
Zombies are emotionless killing machines, even if he restrained, there would be times when he couldn’t control himself.
He thought, as long as he restrained himself from devouring flesh and blood, even if his blood was black, he could be like a normal person.
But, he just struck the one he wanted to protect the most.
He indeed doesn’t deserve to live under the sunlight...
"There are good people and bad people. Just like there are good and bad zombies. Your concern is normal, I’m worried too, but if we stop because of worry, things will only get worse."
Leng Yebai extended his right hand toward Zhang Yiming, continuing to say,
"What once happened is hard to accept, but we can’t live in the past, the present is different from the future that once was. You, I, Xiao Niu, grandpa and grandma are all different now."
"Do you think you’re incompetent, that you can’t change the future, so you choose to retreat?"
Zhang Yiming looked at the fingers in front of him, eyes dim.
Yes, he felt incompetent, not good enough.
He could barely control his own emotions.
