Chapter 72: Mom, I’ll Just Eat One

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Linting Community.

Bai Tianyu and the others faced off against Lian Jie.

The atmosphere was tense, and a fierce battle was about to break out.

As Lian lie’s breathing became heavier, the tension grew.

But behind Lian Jie, a pair of hands wrapped tightly around his waist.

“Child! Child! Calm down, calm down!”

It was Xu Rufang who stopped Lian Jie.

Xu Rufang’s presence diluted the tense atmosphere.

Bai Tianyu and Lian Jie’s gazes fell on this mother.

Sobbing sounds could be heard, and Xu Rufang cried out, “Lian Jie! Lian Jie! Even if you’ve become like this, you’re still Mommy’s good son. But we can’t do things that are against the law, like killing people.

“They’re good people, and so are we. If you attack them, we won’t be good people anymore.”

“Jie, listen to Mom’s advice. Let’s go, let’s leave now. Let’s stay far away from them, let’s not engage with them.

Bai Tianyu:”???”

What is going on now?

Soon, he saw Xu Rufang reaching out her hand to Lian Jie’s mouth.

“Jie, Mom knows you’re hungry. Come, I’ll give you something to eat. We’re good people. We don’t eat people. Come, be good…”

The smell of flesh and blood made Lian Jie open his mouth, revealing teeth that resembled those of a shark.

“Crack.”

He bit off his mother’s arm. Then, to everyone’s astonishment, Xu Rufang’s hand grew back at an extremely fast speed.

Bai Tianyu was enlightened.

Despite Bai Tianyu’s burly appearance, he was quite meticulous.

Looking at Xu Rufang, Bai Tianyu frowned. “Awakened one!” Superpower of self-healing!

This type of Awakened person was not scary, and self-healing was not a powerful superpower.

However, this ability combined with a zombie became extremely terrifying!

Zombies fed on humans and Awakened ones. By devouring their flesh and blood, they absorb mysterious factors to complete their evolution.

Unlike Awakened ones who needed zombie crystals of the same level to level up.

Huo Sheng’s research showed that the advancement of zombies only required a sufficient amount of flesh and blood—this was the advantage of zombies.

And Awakened ones had much more mysterious factors in their flesh and blood than ordinary survivors. In other words, Awakened ones were perfect supplements to high-level zombies.

When a self-healing Awakened one cuts off his flesh to nurture a zombie… the speed at which this zombie advanced could be imagined!

Bai Tianyu wanted to curse in his heart…

Did Xu Rufang know what kind of monster she had raised?

There was a high chance that she knew.

But she had no choice. He was her son.

Even if he turned into a zombie, this was an unbreakable bond.

Looking up at Lian Jie again, Bai Tianyu could see that as Lian Jie swallowed Xu Rufang’s arm, the red light in his eyes slowly dissipated.

The tyranny of the zombie gradually subsided as he ate, and human rationality began to regain control.

After taking a deep look at Bai Tianyu, the tentacles on Lian Jie’s back wriggled and wrapped around Xu Rufang.

“Mom, I’ll listen to you. Let’s go.”

When Lian Jie said this, Xu Rufang’s face showed a relieved expression,

“Alright, let’s go and stay far away from them.”

The other tentacles wrapped around the protrusions on the wall, carrying Lian Jie and Xu Rufang down from the third floor.

Using tentacles instead of feet, Lian Jie and Xu Rufang gradually retreated into the distance.

Bai Tianyu did not intend to to pursue them—he was only a Level 3. Although he had Level 4 combat power after activating his superpower, he was still a little inferior to Level 4.

Just as the battle was about to end…

Lian Jie suddenly stopped in his tracks.

More saliva dripped from his mouth like a waterfall.

Looking at Bai Tianyu, Lian Jie suddenly grinned.

“Mom, since we’re leaving, let’s take some food with us.”

“Boom!”

The tentacles swung through the air, accompanied by Lian Jie’s eerie voice. “Mom, I’m sensible.

“I’ll just eat one!”

The tentacles struck with a howling sound.

At the same time, Xu Rufang’s panicked voice rang out.

She wanted to stop Lian Jie, but the evil nature of zombies was inherent. Even though there was a mother-son bond, it could not stop the inherent instinct of zombies!

Boom!

Bai Tianyu did not retreat even half a step and forcefully blocked the attack of the tentacles—he could block one, but not seven!

Another tentacle ruthlessly struck Bai Tianyu, sending him flying like a bowling ball.

As he quickly got up from the fall, Bai Tianyu suddenly heard a scream.

It was Lin Bai, who was wrapped by a tentacle.

In the next second, that tentacle suddenly sprouted numerous sharp teeth, grinding Lin Bai into pieces like a meat grinder.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Bai had vanished without a trace. Even his bones and hair were devoured by the tentacles.

Bai Tianyu’s eyes widened in disbelief!

Lian Jie, on the other hand, let out a satisfied burp.

The flesh and blood of an Awakened person that tasted different from Xu Rufang aroused Lian Jie’s appet.i.te.

“One more bite, Mom, just one more!”

As he muttered, he turned to look at Bai Tianyu.

This one is of a higher level, so he must be more delicious!

Just as this thought emerged, he suddenly felt a pain on his forehead.

A sniper bullet struck Lian Jie’s forehead with precision, followed by the sound of a gunshot.

More than 10 kilometers away, Lu Ming, who was on the watchtower, observed the situation and pulled the trigger, hitting the bullseye accurately.

However, firearms were indeed somewhat powerless against higher-level zombies.

Even an anti-material sniper rifle, despite its formidable killing power, was insufficient against the eerie characteristics of zombies.

Even though the sniper rifle bullet had blown open Lian Jie’s forehead and shattered his brain matter, the wound on Lian Jie’s head rapidly healed at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed, within less than a second, leaving no trace of the sniper rifle’s damage.

“This recovery speed is so fast…”

Lu Ming frowned, feeling the difficulty of the situation.

Picking up the Tyrant slingshot, Lu Ming hesitated for a moment and put it back. The power of his slingshot was slightly stronger than an anti-material sniper rifle, but it was also limited.

As for that strange zombie, the difficult part was not its defense, but its recovery ability.

Lu Ming muttered as he picked up an iron discus.

“Then let’s try this.”

This shot left Lian Jie slightly dazed.

But it did not matter.

Lian Jie naturally understood that the military had firearms.

Ordinary firearms could not break its defense, and firearms that could break its defense were not a big deal in the face of its terrifying recovery ability.

Ignoring the sniper whose location was unknown, Lian Jie stared at Bai Tianyu with bloodshot eyes. Paying no attention to Xu Rufang’s cries, he prepared to have another meal.

Until an ear-piercing boom echoed in the sky!

The iron discus thrown by Lu Ming flew far faster than the speed of sound, so when everyone heard the howling sound, it was already too late to react.

A “boom” sounded in the Linting Community.

The smoke and dust waves rose nearly 10 meters into the air.

Bai Tianyu, who had just steadied himself, felt a wave of air surge over and send him tumbling.

Xu Rufang’s screams and Lian Jie’s angry roars rang in his ears.

As the dust settled, the scene of carnage entered Bai Tianyu’s sight..
