nChapter 72: Mom, I’ll Just Eat One

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

nLinting Community.

nBai Tianyu and the others faced off against Lian Jie.

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

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

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

n“Child! Child! Calm down, calm down!”

nIt was Xu Rufang who stopped Lian Jie.

nXu Rufang’s presence diluted the tense atmosphere.

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

nSobbing 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.

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

n“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.

nBai Tianyu:”???”

nWhat is going on now?

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

n“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…”

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

n“Crack.”

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

nBai Tianyu was enlightened.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

nAnd 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.

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

nBai Tianyu wanted to curse in his heart…

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

nThere was a high chance that she knew.

nBut she had no choice. He was her son.

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

nLooking 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.

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

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

n“Mom, I’ll listen to you. Let’s go.”

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

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

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

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

nBai 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.

nJust as the battle was about to end…

nLian Jie suddenly stopped in his tracks.

nMore saliva dripped from his mouth like a waterfall.

nLooking at Bai Tianyu, Lian Jie suddenly grinned.

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

n“Boom!”

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

n“I’ll just eat one!”

nThe tentacles struck with a howling sound.

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

nShe 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!

nBoom!

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

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

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

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

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

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

nBai Tianyu’s eyes widened in disbelief!

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

nThe flesh and blood of an Awakened person that tasted different from Xu Rufang aroused Lian Jie’s appetite.

n“One more bite, Mom, just one more!”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

nEven 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 astonishing speed, within less than a second, leaving no trace of the sniper rifle’s damage.

n“This recovery speed is so fast…”

nLu Ming frowned, feeling the difficulty of the situation.

nPicking 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.

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

nLu Ming muttered as he picked up an iron discus.

n“Then let’s try this.”

nThis shot left Lian Jie slightly dazed.

nBut it did not matter.

nLian Jie naturally understood that the military had firearms.

nOrdinary 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.

nIgnoring 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.

nUntil an ear-piercing boom echoed in the sky!

nThe 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.

nA “boom” sounded in the Linting Community.

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

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

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

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