nChapter 83: Spare Your Life?

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

nSima Xiao considered himself adaptable, just like his tentacles.

nIn this situation where the monster had clearly targeted him, he was willing to beg for mercy, even if it meant kneeling or doing something more shameful.

nLooking at the very human-like Tier 4 zombie in front of him, Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, “You can talk?”

nSima Xiao flashed a fawning smile, “Yes, I can, sir.”

n“And you also know how to beg for mercy…”

n“Yes, I can do that too.”

nLu Ming gasped, “You’re not lacking in intelligence…”

nSima Xiao’s expression froze and he was speechless.

nHigh intelligence meant that he knew how to play tricks, which meant that he was more dangerous under the same circumstances.

nAt this moment, when he heard Lu Ming’s compliment, Sima Xiao did not feel honored. Instead, he felt that he was one step closer to defeat.

nLu Ming saw Sima Xiao’s expression and even vaguely guessed what it was thinking.

nSlowly squinting his eyes, Lu Ming made up his mind.

nHowever…

nThere were some issues that needed to be addressed first.

n“Do tentacle monsters like you have a name?”

nFaced with Lu Ming’s question, Sima Xiao was quite willing to share everything!

n“Yes, zombies like my type are called Devourers.”

n“What about the big guys?”

n“Those are called Tanks.”

n“Are they all Level 4?”

n“Yes, all of them are Level 4?”

n“Do you have any special abilities?”

nSima Xiao’s eyes darted around, considering lying and making himself appear useless. But then he saw Lu Ming lifting the big sword and patting his shoulder with the heavy blade…

nIt felt like its shoulder was crushed.

nIn this situation, Sima Xiao decisively suppressed his scheming thoughts and hastily replied, “Tanks are an advanced version of Tyrants and have no special abilities! Devourers, on the other hand, can obtain special abilities by devouring Awakened ones, hence the name Devourers!”

n“Of course, we all have the ability to command low-level zombies.”

nLu Ming removed his sword and nodded gently. “Then you Devourers are very powerful.”

nSima Xiao smiled flatteringly again, “No, not that powerful. Definitely not as powerful as you, Big Brother.”

nNo **…’

n‘With my system, of course, I’m powerful.’

nLu Ming naturally would not tell Sima Xiao about this. After thinking for a moment, he said, “It’s not impossible for me to spare your life… but you have to help me do something.”

nSima Xiao eagerly nodded, “Of course! No problem! Whatever Big Brother wants me to do, I’ll do it!!”

nIn order to survive, Sima Xiao was simply going all out.

nHearing this, Lu Ming raised his sword again.

n“You said that you can control low-level zombies. Now, please get all the low-level zombies to come to me.”

nMoving his feet lightly, Lu Ming activated th Swordstorm again. As he accelerated, he said, “After I deal with this zombie wave, I’ll seriously consider my arrangements for you.”

nThe Swordstorm was activated again.

nBut this time, Lu Ming did not need to go find the zombies; instead, the zombies came looking for him – which was very satisfying.

nAt least Lu Ming no longer had to worry about his house and supplies being destroyed.

n“Everyone, come here!!”

nSima Xiao roared at the sky, giving his command.

nThe voice sounded extremely domineering… but it still could not hide its treacherous nature.

nHowever, this was not important.

nIn any case, the average zombies did not have high intelligence. If they were not stupid, who else could they scam?

n“Ha.”

n“Huh.”

n“Hey!”

nThe three Tanks did not care about their senior’s fate at all; they were like ferocious generals who had fallen into a trap and were unafraid of death!

nThen, they were hammered…

nFollowing behind the Tanks were the Tyrants, Hunters, Giant Zombies, and even ordinary zombies.

nThe overwhelming number was about to drown Lu Ming.

nHowever, after becoming an Awakened, Lu Ming not only had great strength and speed but also terrifying endurance.

nThe Swordstorm he set off, like an abyss, continuously devoured all the zombies.

nFive hours later.

nInside the shelter.

nZhang Chengcheng and the others were still standing on the platform, dumbfounded, watching the diminishing zombie horde in the distance and the eye of the storm.

nHowever, unlike before, there were several more people on the platform.

nHuo Sheng, Bai Tianyu, and a few soldiers from the official shelter.

nTheir expressions were the same as Zhang Chengcheng and the others—open-mouthed, as if their worldviews had collapsed.

nIn fact, Bai Tianyu, Huo Sheng, and the others had already arrived at the battlefield when Lu Ming killed the first Tank in the morning,.

nThey had brought along Awakened ones and heavy weapons.

nWhat they carried was a determination to fight to the death!

nIt was definitely impossible to give up the gathering place on Guangping Street and Lu Ming. Huo Sheng still understood the logic of sharing a common fate.

nTherefore, in fact, Huo Sheng had already treated this battle as a life and death battle for the survivors of Nanxiang City!

nWith determination and courage to fight to the death, Bai Tianyu and the others arrived at the front line.

nUnexpectedly, Lu Ming’s solo show had completely refreshed their worldview!

nThey stood there for five hours.

nAfter watching Lu Ming’s personal show for five hours.

nIt was only when the zombie wave was about to be defeated that Huo Sheng smiled bitterly. “We came here for nothing…”

nIt was indeed a wasted trip.

nThe Awakened in the official shelter had come for nothing.

nThe activation of heavy weapons and so on was in vain.

nBai Tianyu did not respond to Huo Sheng’s words.

nHe just stared at Lu Ming intently until Huo Sheng pushed his arm. “What are you thinking about?”

nBai Tianyu shook his head gently and asked in confusion, “I was just thinking that Lu Ming and I are both humans. Why is the difference so big?”

nBai Tianyu could no longer understand Lu Ming’s strength…

nHowever, he was greatly shocked!

nHuo Sheng smiled freely. “Don’t think too much if you don’t understand. Let’s go. Come with me.”

n“Where are we going?”

n“The front line, find Lu Ming and…”

nAs he spoke, Huo Sheng vaguely looked at Sima Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground and not daring to move.

n“And that thing.”

nThe Swordstorm that lasted from morning to afternoon finally stopped.

nIt was as if the dark clouds had dissipated today, revealing the warm afternoon sun.

nSunlight fell from the sky and shone on the ground, illuminating the forty-meter-long sword, the man as strong as a bear, and the scarlet carpet under the man’s feet, as well as the Tentacle Monster kneeling at the man’s feet not far away.

nAt this moment, Lu Ming’s chest was heaving.

nHe was indeed a little tired. He felt a little tired—like a university student with good physical fitness who had run a thousand meters.

nAfter resting for a while to calm his breathing, Lu Ming took a deep breath, but he only felt that his mouth and nose were filled with the smell of blood.

nHe turned to look around.

nThe zombie tide had already turned into minced meat that covered an area of a few kilometers. Blood-red substances covered the ground, and it felt soft and sticky when one stepped on it.

nNot far away, Bai Tianyu and Huo Sheng walked over quickly on this ground and quickly arrived beside Lu Ming..
