Chapter 136: Sneak Attack

On the street outside the tracks, a massive explosion roared.

The huge commotion startled everyone. As far as the eye could see, several of the Black Crow convoy’s charging off-road vehicles were now blown to pieces, burning fiercely with billowing black smoke.

Yellow Hair and his group of thugs were instantly obliterated, with only a few fragments of their coats fluttering down in the wind.

At this moment, the purple-haired woman, Luoluo, sitting in the passenger seat of the heavy truck, finally sensed the crisis after seeing Guo the Second, Yellow Hair, and Da Yong all get killed one after another. Her face turned pale, and her eyes desperately searched for Qiu Long.

The entire convoy was now in disarray. Qiu Long was the strongest in the group of four, and his vitality was extremely strong. As long as he was still around, the convoy could hold its ground.

On the other side, Lin Xian saw more and more zombies pouring in from the city streets, and the surrounding fog grew thicker. His expression also became grave.

“Kiki, Shasha, cover me! I’m going out! That metahuman can’t be too far away!”

This ability to drive zombies was simply too terrifying. The zombie army that night had nearly overturned the train. Lin Xian didn’t dare to be careless. He immediately grabbed his gun and electric blade and charged out of the car.

*Hum!*

A wave of telekinetic force sent dozens of zombies blocking the side of the train flying, clearing a path for Lin Xian.

Shasha followed Kiki out of the car, firing her grenade launcher in a wide arc.

*Thump~Bang!*

*Thump~Bang!*

Grenades continuously exploded among the zombie horde. At the same time, the heavy firepower from Xu Jin’s convoy fired wildly, and the surging zombie groups fell in droves.

Lin Xian’s machine gun fired nonstop. With his electric blade in his right hand, he charged straight into the fray, his eyes constantly scanning the direction of the Black Crow convoy.

*Rat-a-tat-tat!* A burst of bullets rang out in the fog. Lin Xian flashed out from behind the track’s perimeter wall, directly using a Flashback to rush into the group of vehicles and slay two thugs who were firing at the train.

A drone flew past behind Lin Xian, and Kiki’s voice immediately came through his earpiece: “Lin Xian, at your two o’clock, there’s a black truck! There’s a woman in the passenger seat!”

In the rear, Kiki held a mobile terminal, operating the drone while zooming in on the image. She quickly discovered a strange woman in the truck’s passenger seat, her eyes flashing with green light, which was definitely a sign of some kind of metahuman ability.

Hearing Kiki’s words, Lin Xian didn’t stop. A stream of bullets shot towards the heavy truck’s cabin.

*Clang, clang, clang!*

The bullets hit the truck to no effect; even the glass was bulletproof and thickened. However, it made the purple-haired woman see Lin Xian. Seeing the woman’s panicked expression through the window, Lin Xian knew he had found the right person!

*Whoosh!*

Electric Surge gathered in his palm, and he was about to strike. But at that moment, a sound of rushing flames suddenly came from Lin Xian’s left.

*Boom!*

A pillar of fire shot into the sky, and a man covered in crimson red broke away from the flames, charging towards Lin Xian at an extremely high speed. It was Qiu Long!

Qiu Long launched a sneak attack from the side and rear, his fist whistling as it aimed directly for the side of Lin Xian’s face!

Lu Xingchen hadn’t expected Qiu Long to suddenly attack someone else while they were fighting. He wanted to warn him, but it was too late.

Unexpectedly, just as the fist approached Lin Xian, Lin Xian had already sensed it. With a flip of his left hand, a large metal shield formed in an instant!

*Thud!*

Qiu Long had thought this surprise punch was a sure hit, as Lin Xian hadn’t even turned his head. But now, his fist slammed directly into a thick iron plate. The immense force transmitted through, creating a dent in the plate, but it didn’t harm Lin Xian in the slightest.

Qiu Long’s expression changed drastically. Where did this steel come from? Wasn’t this person an electro-type metahuman?

*Pzzt!*

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, a dazzling arc of electricity suddenly shot towards his face!

The arc flashed, and a hole was instantly burned through Qiu Long’s face, piercing from the side to the back of his head. No blood splattered. Lin Xian had already turned sideways and kicked, striking the large steel shield and sending both it and Qiu Long flying!

*Boom!*

Qiu Long was kicked away. Before he even landed, a pillar of fire shot over and engulfed him.

“Be careful, this person’s vitality is very strong!” Lu Xingchen’s voice came from behind.

Sure enough, Qiu Long, now heavily injured after his failed sneak attack, charged out of the flames, his body charred black. But he didn’t charge towards Lin Xian and Lu Xingchen. Instead, he changed direction and rushed towards Shasha and Kiki on the Infinity.

“Damn it, he wants to take hostages to seize your train!”

Seeing Qiu Long charging towards the two young girls, Shasha and KIKI, Lu Xingchen’s face changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth in anger. This insidious guy couldn’t win a fair fight, so he resorted to dirty tricks. He hated people who used such tricks the most. Enraged, he stomped his feet, wreathed in fire, and leaped out.

“The god is here! How dare you!!!”

Lin Xian, on the other hand, had a strange expression as he watched this scene.

*This guy… is so damn chuunibyou.*

*And that Qiu Long is even more of an idiot. He could have run in any direction, but he chose to run towards Kiki…*

Qiu Long’s eyes were about to split. His convoy was defeated, and he knew he was in a desperate situation. His sneak attack on Lin Xian had failed, and he couldn’t beat the fire-user. In his desperation, he happened to see Shasha and Kiki by the tracks. These two young girls seemed to be important teammates or family to Lin Xian. And Lin Xian was the leader of that train; even Xu Jin and Shu Qin’s convoys followed him. He thought that if he succeeded, he might be able to turn the situation around in an instant!

Over there, Shasha’s face changed as she saw a blood-red figure charging over. She retreated in panic and bumped into Kiki’s arms behind her.

“Brother!!” Shasha shouted.

“Calling for anyone is useless!”

Qiu Long’s face was savage. The blood energy on his body had turned a brownish-red, indicating that his power had reached some kind of limit.

He leaped up, jumping out from the zombies, and used all his strength to prepare for a counter-kill.

But who would have thought that after he jumped, he never came back down.

His entire body was suddenly frozen in mid-air!

Qiu Long looked up and saw the young girl before him with a cold gaze. Her long hair floated without any wind, her eyes glowed with a fluorescent light, and a terrifying controlling force suppressed his entire body!

“Brother?”

He couldn’t understand. The one using the ability was clearly a girl, so why was the little girl shouting for her brother?

In the next instant, before Qiu Long could react, a huge black shadow charged over violently, raising a greatsword of forged steel!

Qiu Long’s eyes widened in shock, and his heart instantly turned cold.

*So the brother is here…*

Dalou, seeing Shasha and Kiki being attacked, charged over with a face full of killing intent. With a furious roar, he raised his sword and slashed!

*Pzzt!*

Qiu Long was instantly cut in half at the waist!

Kiki waved her hand indifferently, throwing him into the zombie horde. The countless zombies smelled the strong scent of blood and suddenly rushed over madly, beginning to tear at Qiu Long’s corpse.

Lin Xian couldn’t help but frown at this scene. It was too brutal.

“Be careful, his recovery is very strong!”

At this moment, a flash of fire descended. The dashing Lu Xingchen shot out a great fire, roasting a patch of zombies, and once again reminded Kiki and Shasha. But after blasting the zombies away and getting closer, he saw that Qiu Long had already been torn to pieces, deader than dead.

“He’s already like this. Can he still recover?” Kiki responded with a frown.

Shasha, on the other hand, had a disgusted look on her face. “Ew, he’s already turned into zombie poop. How could he possibly recover…”

Lu Xingchen was stunned, not expecting the young girl before him to be so powerful. He hadn’t gotten to show off at all, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.

“Brother, what’s wrong with you?”

At this moment, Shasha looked at Dalou beside her. The veins on Dalou’s face were starting to turn red, as if he had been affected by Qiu Long’s blood energy just now.

“It’s nothing…” Dalou frowned and waved his hand repeatedly.

He didn’t know what was going on. After killing Qiu Long just now, that wave of blood energy had rushed at him, causing the flesh and blood all over his body to become agitated.

“Amazing, amazing.” Lu Xingchen looked at Kiki. He had seen her invisible telekinetic power just now and was instantly awestruck. He said with a look of admiration, “This is the first time I’ve seen a telekinesis-type metahuman. I used to want the ability to move objects with my mind the most.”

“But…” He took a deep breath with a wistful smile and said to Kiki and Shasha as if talking to himself, “But such is fate. Now I have been called by the God of Fire. In this apocalypse, I swear to use this divine flame to burn away all the world’s anomalies. If heaven had not birthed me, Lu Xingchen, the long polar night would have been eternal darkness.”

Lu Xingchen snapped his fingers, and a small flame ignited at his fingertip. “Alas, it can’t be helped. With great power comes great responsibility. This feeling, I’m sure you feel the same as I do…”

Kiki watched this guy talking to himself, her frown deepening. He looked like a perfectly normal person, but why was his style so strange? Could it be that his intelligence was a bit…

“Hey, big brother.”

Shasha’s voice interrupted Lu Xingchen’s self-indulgence.

*Boom!*

“What is it?” Lu Xingchen raised his hand and shot a burst of fire, blasting away the zombies behind him with a casual and composed air.

“That…” Shasha pointed towards the distant street. “That RV, is it yours?”

*Hmm? RV?*

*What RV? You know I have an RV?*

The familiar word reached Lu Xingchen’s ears. He immediately turned his head and saw a high-end RV speeding away in the distance. Wasn’t that his meticulously crafted “Vulcan”?

“Holy shit!! My car! My car!! Who the fuck drove my car away!!!!”
