Chapter 780: Assassinate Hu Zhiyong

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

This time, the lightning attack clearly had a target. Without a doubt, it was under control.

As Wu Chengyue had taken a few lightning strikes, the pointless attack stopped. Although, the thunder could still be heard from the dark clouds in the sky.

The distance was long, but Lin Qiao could still sense that Mo Yan had restrained his vibe. It seemed that his mind was still clear, and that he was still able to control himself.

She slightly dropped her eyes and stood beside the others, as if she was nothing but pretty.

The zombies surrounding the base were under level-two. Not even one level-three could be found. Lin Qiao assumed that Mo Yan had hunted all higher-leveled zombies that he and his subordinates summoned, because she had sensed that all his subordinates were on the verge of breakthrough.

She wondered how much Mo Yan had improved himself, and if absorbing too many zombie nuclei had caused him to lose control.

As Lin Qiao was making guesses about Mo Yan’s condition, a strong wave of lightning bolts suddenly fell from the dark clouds.

Hundreds of lightning bolts covered an area hundreds of meters in radius, including where the group of base leaders stood. Seeing that, the people immediately moved to dodge.

Wu Chengyue was able to absorb a couple of lightning bolts, but not hundreds of them at one time.

Hu Zhiyong, who was in a poor condition, reacted more slowly than the others. But still, he leaped away quickly enough. However, he was still in the air when a lightning bolt came from nowhere and hit him.

The lightning bolts landed on his body, as it was impossible for him to dodge in the air.

“Ah…” He screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

The others heard him once they landed on the wall top. They immediately turned and saw Hu Zhiyong lying on the ground outside, shaking. His entire body had been burned black, and was smoking.

Wu Chengyue landed on the other side of the wall, his eyes glowing dimly.

Lin Qiao too had landed back onto the wall top. She looked at Hu Zhiyong, then at Wu Chengyue, her mouth corners twitching slightly. After that, she slightly twitched a finger and released a tiny wisp of black fire.

Lying on the ground, Hu Zhiyong had his disordered energy leaking from his entire body. He had suffered a bad dizziness, and couldn’t even struggle back up from the ground. Thankfully, Si Kongchen had cleared that area just now with his fire dragons. So, there were no zombie bodies on the ground, only black ashes.

His frozen arm had fallen into pieces. The wound wasn’t bleeding, but was frozen into a bluish pale color.

Before he woke up, the tiny black fire flake landed on him, then exploded into a raging black fire.

He didn’t scream again, because the fire had devoured his throat. Within a blink, his head started vanishing too.

Within a short time, Hu Zhiyong, a level-seven man, was gone. Only a glowing energy nucleus was left on the ground.

“Hu Zhiyong!” After landing in a safe area, Liu Zhinan didn’t immediately notice that Hu Zhiyong had been brought down by the lightning. By the time he followed Hu Zhiyong’s vibe and saw him on the ground, the fire rose from his body and swallowed him.

Liu Zhinan popped his eyes with disbelief. The others were all too shocked to react as well.

Si Kongchen made reactions before the others. He glanced at Wu Chengyue and found the latter wearing a surprised face as well.

“Did Chairman Hu just die like that?” Gao Haoyun landed beside Si Kongchen with surprise as he looked at the glistening energy nucleus on the ground and said.

Right at that moment, a figure flashed off the wall over to the energy nucleus and brought it away. Hou Guozhong flew back to Si Kongchen and handed him the energy nucleus.

He possessed level-seven wind power, so he was surely faster than the others.

With a grim look, Si Kongchen held the energy nucleus, then looked at Hou Guozhong, who just nodded.

After that, Si Kongchen gave Wu Chengyue a meaningful glance.

The others had no idea why a bolt of lightning hit Hu Zhiyong. They thought that was because he didn’t react fast enough to dodge the lightning attack due to his bad condition.

Only Si Kongchen had grasped a faint energy wave from Wu Chengyue when that happened. However, he couldn’t sense the source of the black fire.

Si Kongchen pulled a long face, but didn’t do anything.

Liu Zhinan and Hu Zhiyong had been going against him the whole time. They believed that they didn’t need to be afraid of the Chief anymore, and had reached level-seven. Si Kongchen would not tolerate them if they weren’t strong and useful for the base.

Now, when their powers were really needed, one of them died so soon.

The two of them were in charge of some science projects. However, they weren’t the best scientists in the base.

Following a series of thunder, a new wave of lightning bolts fell.

“I have sensed it! He’s in the Southwest!” At that time, Wu Chengyue burst in a shout and pointed at the Southwest. Hearing that, Si Kongchen and Gao Haoyun immediately darted at that direction.

Among all, Gao Haoyun and Si Kongchen wanted to kill the zombie emperor the most.

Gao Haoyun didn’t care about the people in Heilong Base, but did care about the supplies in that base. The massive zombie attack that the zombie emperor caused had destroyed the base. How could he not hate the zombie for that?

He wanted very much to kill the zombie emperor, but he was aware that he wasn’t able to kill it alone. In terms of superpower, his power wasn’t as effective as the zombie emperor’s lightning power; in terms of energy amount, he might be no worse than the zombie emperor, but he didn’t have the strong body that the zombie emperor had.

He cared about the supplies in the base, but valued his own life more. Therefore, as the situation turned bad, he immediately gave up on the base and left.

Now, he had joined Huaxia Base. As a level-eight superpowered man, he was on an equal footing with Si Kongchen. Therefore, he wanted Si Kongchen to help him kill the zombie emperor.

However, Huaxia Base people hadn’t even located the zombie emperor, not to mention kill him.

Therefore, once Wu Chengyue pointed out the possible location, Gao Haoyun and Si Kongchen moved together.

While the people fought against the zombie emperor outside, the zombies in Lin Qiao’s space were already bored enough, such that they had even started playing cards.

Yes, they were playing cards! They had no memories, but were smart enough to play cards. Lu Tianyi introduced the rule once, then they started the game quickly.

Lu Tianyi was bored, so he made Pesticide and Jingyan play cards with him. Xiao-xiao and the other zombies were watching them.
