Chapter 57 Negotiation
He manipulates zombies, mutated plants and animals, and all life forms and mutants of a lower level than himself.
Including humans!
He can manipulate anyone whose level is lower than his.
Yu Yao strongly suspects that Xiao Lin's death is inextricably linked to him.
Even the mutated bird that startled Du Yuan just now was likely made by him.
A horde of zombies suddenly gathered outside.
It's hard to determine whether he was involved or not.
After all, he was already at the late stage of level 1, so controlling level 0 and early stage level 1 zombies and mutated beasts was not difficult for him.
Faced with a sesame dumpling that is even more cunning than the one hidden by the second brother, Dongfang Jin.
All she could do was stay vigilant and avoid falling into his trap.
She subconsciously moved closer to Chi Heng.
He also used his mind to inform Chi Heng: "He has the ability to control zombies."
Chi Heng paused slightly, silently protecting Yu Yao beside him, standing between Lin Fengmu and Yu Yao.
He said to her, "Follow me, and be careful."
"it is good."
Du Yuan watched this scene and couldn't help but scoff softly.
"You guys have the nerve to be so careful? Shouldn't the one who should be most careful right now be Brother Mu?"
Zombies are bloodthirsty, a characteristic everyone knows.
Now that Lin Fengmu is injured, the smell of blood is most likely to attract the zombies' swarm.
In this situation, they are indeed at a disadvantage.
As if to confirm Du Yuan's words, a dark figure suddenly burst through the office door and headed straight for Lin Fengmu.
The foul-smelling wind ruffled Lin Fengmu's soft black hair, carrying a terrifying killing intent.
Fortunately, Chi Heng reacted quickly enough.
Before the opponent could even make contact with Lin Fengmu, he used wind blades to shred them, leaving behind a mess of broken bones and flesh.
Looking at the gruesome pile of bones and flesh, Chu Chenzhou whispered to Lin Fengmu, "The speed-type zombie is really coming for you."
"It's nothing," Lin Fengmu said, raising her eyes to look at Chi Heng. A glint flashed in her dark eyes, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"I originally wanted to hitch a ride with them to find the mutant cat, but now it seems I might become a burden. In that case, sir, please take Little Fish and leave first."
Yu Yao gritted her teeth inwardly.
They really did put on a show of tainted sesame dumplings.
She was already tempted to reveal her healing abilities, lest he take advantage of her.
Chi Heng secretly pulled her restless wrist and said to Lin Fengmu, "Stay put."
Lin Fengmu's gaze fell on Yu Yao's wrist, and when he looked up, his coldness was evident.
"Oh... well then, I'll gladly accept your offer."
With Lin Fengmu's words, the Xuanfeng team immediately assembled and took their positions.
While catching up with Chi Heng and Yu Yao, they also protected the injured Lin Fengmu in the center, and walked out of the office area together.
The corridor outside the office area was now completely blocked by zombies.
Chi Heng continued walking, calmly raising his hand. A strong gust of wind instantly overturned all the zombies, revealing an empty corridor.
Having some understanding of Chi Heng's combat capabilities, the members of Xuanfeng Squad did not show much emotional change.
They remained quietly guarding around Lin Fengmu, then quickly moved towards the stairwell.
As a sensory ability user, Chu Chenzhou proactively reported the locations of the other people.
By a twist of fate, Yu Yao's ability to sense the location of her teammates was concealed.
On the staircase between the seventh and eighth floors, the group encountered Luo Pingjing.
After confirming that Luo Pingjing was also unharmed, the group continued to move down to the fourth floor where Qi Xian was being held.
Chu Chenzhou, curious about Qi Xian's special treatment, couldn't help but ask, "What's the deal with this guy? Why is he being locked up in solitary confinement?"
Yu Yao did not expect Chi Heng or Luo Pingjing to answer his question.
He had no choice but to answer himself: "He probably got a grudge because the luncheon meat in Third Brother's bowl was too spicy?"
"Huh???" Chu Chenzhou gave an exaggerated question mark face, "You got burned by the spiciness while sneaking a bite?"
Yu Yao shrugged helplessly.
"Anyway, we didn't do anything else."
This answer undoubtedly amused Chu Chenzhou. "Alright, alright, that does fit that guy's style—both domineering and unreasonable!"
Yu Yao nodded in agreement, "Indeed, domineering and unreasonable!"
Chu Chenzhou added, "But that guy is really troublesome. He can teleport, and he's even slipperier than a fish just pulled out of the river. What are your thoughts?"
Ideas? She has them, but she can't implement them for the time being.
Luo Pingjing walked quietly beside Chi Heng, her mind racing.
Even after going up to the fourth floor, I still couldn't figure it out.
......
When they arrived, Qi Xian, who was covered in wounds, had already been rescued.
Dongfang Jin and Jiang Yi are currently engaged in a fierce battle with a second-tier speed zombie.
Second-tier speed zombies are already considered to be able to come and go without a trace.
If Luo Mei hadn't been there to restrain him, an ordinary person probably wouldn't have even been able to catch a glimpse of him.
Fortunately, both Dongfang Jin and Jiang Yi are seasoned veterans with top-notch agility and speed.
With the addition of his superpowers, he was able to hold his own against the zombies despite being at a lower level.
Seeing this, and noticing that Qin Zhao and Chen Sanxu were preparing to join the battle, Yu Yao quickly grabbed her knife and rushed over.
We can't just hand over the crystal cores and experience points of a second-tier zombie.
You know, she was only a little over 3,000 points away from reaching level 15.
Perhaps knowing Yu Yao's thoughts, Chi Heng also made a move, and his first move was a deadly one.
They took advantage of the moment when the zombies were caught red-handed by Dongfang Jin and Jiang Yi.
It was swept up by a tornado containing deadly wind blades, and then ripped apart.
Swift and clean, leaving no trace of corpses.
Qin Zhao and Chen Sanxu, who had just entered the battlefield, froze on the spot, looking at Chi Heng as if he were a monster.
Ignoring their horrified gazes, Yu Yao contentedly sheathed her twin swords and glanced at the level-two crystal core she had just acquired in her backpack.
There is also the "Swift Stone," which can be used for equipment forging and has the effect of increasing speed.
And with his experience bar having increased significantly, he couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
Where can you find such a reliable teammate?
......
After dealing with the zombies, Yu Yao and the others quickly surrounded Qi Xian.
He was targeted by the mutant cat and suffered many superficial injuries, but fortunately none of them were fatal.
All it takes is cleaning and applying some medicine.
Just as Jiang Yi was treating Qi Xian's wounds, Chi Heng came to Luo Mei's side and asked, "Do you know where that mutated beast is?"
Luo Mei raised her chin, gestured with her eyes to the upstairs, and said, "Up there, it is indeed a cat, black."
The mutated cat attacked suddenly, and stopped just as suddenly. It hadn't made a move for a while, which made people feel uneasy.
"Could it be that its superpowers were exhausted? It slashed at me several more times afterward, but each time the force was lighter than before."
While enduring the pain and pretending to be calm as Jiang Yi cleaned his wounds, Qi Xian revealed his inner thoughts.
Dongfang Jin said, "It's not impossible."
"This guy is definitely up to no good!" Luo Mei said through gritted teeth.
It has been playing tricks on them for so long, how could it possibly end without a clear beginning or end?
Qi Xian sighed, "Yes, the main problem is that we still can't catch them."
This was the first time since the end times that they had encountered such a powerless situation.
Chi Heng frowned and pondered, then looked at Luo Mei: "Xiao Liu, do you know mind control?"
Luo Mei opened her mouth in surprise, her fox-like eyes twitching slightly.
After a long pause, she bit her lip and said with difficulty, "My abilities are temporarily..."
This cannot be blamed on Luo Mei. She is only a late-stage first-tier mental ability user, and she has no way to use such a complex ability as mental control.
She wasn't Shi Ying who had turned into a zombie, so she naturally had the ability to control zombies weaker than her, and she could easily use mind control.
After listening, Chi Heng nodded calmly, "I understand."
Luo Mei looked deeply ashamed. "I'm sorry, boss..."
Chi Heng shook his head and comforted him, "It's not your fault, I was just thinking too simply."
Just then, Lin Fengmu, who had been standing by as a background figure, spoke up.
"I could try to control it for a few minutes."
Chi Heng turned his head, his expression calm.
"How many minutes?"
"five minutes."
Chi Heng nodded: "That's enough."
Lin Fengmu hesitated for a moment, then said, "However, I have a favor to ask."
"You said."
"Could you not kill it too quickly? My things are still in its hands."
As expected, Chi Heng fell silent upon hearing this.
After all, items in the spatial ability space cannot be taken out unless the ability user and the mutated beast do so willingly.
“If I can control it, I will naturally have a way to make it hand over my things on its own. However, in this process, I need your help to restrain it,” Lin Fengmu continued.
"Okay, but in five minutes, regardless of whether you've gotten what you wanted, I'll kill it."
Chi Heng does not have a hobby of abusing cats.
But this mutated cat attacked without any regard for the facts.
They threw them into the most densely populated area of zombies and even injured Qi Xian like that.
If they were ordinary people, they would have lost their lives by now!
Such a mutated beast has an evil heart.
Damn!
