BC Chapter 164
by VolareChapter 163
Although Lu Ziming had fought zombies many times, this was the first time since losing her memory that she had encountered such a strange mutant like Lingyuan, and the first time she had a chance to fight him.
She was very curious, so she seemed a bit stunned as she watched Lingyuan constantly change. Although she knew that Xu Rubing, like herself, was also a mutant, they had never truly fought each other, and she had never encountered a crisis that forced her to change her state. So, this was the first time she had seen a mutant demonstrating state changes in front of her.
Wow… looks very powerful, the eyes, eye color, and aura have all changed… How did he do that? Can I do that too? Actually looks pretty cool. Lu Ziming stared blankly at Lingyuan’s transformation, constantly questioning and commenting in her mind.
Once Lingyuan completed his state transformation, Lu Ziming’s eyes instantly regained the clarity of thought.
As if some sense within her body was reminding her, even without Lingyuan making a sound, Lu Ziming instantly discerned his intention to attack.
Oh! Here it comes! For some reason, Lu Ziming’s spirit became exceptionally excited after the other party completed his transformation.
Even when she saw him charging towards her with a sword-like attack, she remained completely unmoved. There wasn’t a single distracting thought in her mind, her eyes fixed on his movements, her gaze instantly turning cold.
Yao Jinglin, standing behind her, although a normal person, could also see that Lingyuan’s current state was very wrong, obviously dangerous and troublesome for Lu Ziming. But just as Yao Jinglin’s anxious worry was about to fully rise, she keenly noticed that Lu Ziming’s whole person had undergone a different change in an instant. Her previously lazy standing body instantly tensed all the muscles in her back, and her body leaned slightly forward, clearly entering a state of combat readiness.
This instantaneous change was not unfamiliar to Yao Jinglin. In their daily physical training, obstacle crossing events were usually timed, and everyone was straining with a spirit of not admitting defeat, not wanting to lag behind others by even a second. So, before and after the starting whistle, everyone’s state would change instantly, switching from casual laziness to seriousness in a second, and striving to do their best in the subsequent process.
Just like Lu Ziming now.
Lingyuan’s speed was so fast that it was easy for onlookers to lose track of his movements in the blink of an eye, like a video suddenly skipping frames. Yao Jinglin watched nervously, secretly clicking her tongue – this man was definitely toying with her when he fought her just now, if she had encountered Lingyuan in this state just now, she probably wouldn’t have lasted even one move and would have been instantly killed by him.
Is this the difference between mutants and ordinary people? So vast, so terrifying. It was like boxers of vastly different weight classes being put into the same match – with no chance of winning.
Then, can Lu Ziming withstand his anger? Yao Jinglin’s naturally drooping hands slowly clenched with worry. She knew Lu Ziming, and she had observed Lu Ziming in her previous experiences fighting zombies. Overall, she was indeed a step ahead of her at that time, but now facing this unknown mutant man from nowhere, she was not sure what the result would be – after all, her understanding of Lu Ziming still remained from the time when Lu Ziming silently left.
Once Lingyuan moved, he locked his eyes on Lu Ziming in front of him. He was sure that when he swung his weapon to attack forward, Lu Ziming was still standing there, but when the weapon came down the next second, it landed directly on empty space, smashing the ground and sending dirt and rocks flying.
What?! He only blinked! How did that detestable woman disappear instantly?! He moved so fast, how could she have dodged! Lingyuan’s eyes widened instantly, his blood-red eyes filled with surprise and suspicion.
Could that woman be a ghost?! Lingyuan’s mind raced, suspecting this but immediately dismissing the absurd guess in his mind.
How could that be! It’s already outrageous enough that zombies have appeared in modern society, if ghosts and gods appeared as well, would humans even be able to survive?
However, no matter what he thought, Lu Ziming’s skills were far more than that. Almost at the same time as his unrealistic thoughts arose, a heavyweight strike had already landed on his back shoulder.
Lu Ziming’s movements were even faster than Lingyuan’s just now. Even Yao Jinglin, who was watching intently, could hardly capture her complete movements, only feeling as if her character in the game had activated a flash skill. Only Lingyuan’s body, which was being beaten and twitching in different postures, directly reflected Lu Ziming’s combat power.
The sounds of thumps were endless. Clearly, Lu Ziming, who was this serious for the first time, was enjoying the mental gratification of immersing herself in this beating of her enemy. She even deliberately didn’t use spikes to quickly finish off the white-clothed man, naturally using his durable body to vent her anger.
However, Lingyuan’s body was indeed worthy of being a mutant’s body. He was still conscious until Lu Ziming thought about taking a short break in a short period of time. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably have fainted on the spot after being hit by Lu Ziming’s unadorned first blow.
After all, Lu Ziming’s blow was extremely powerful, and the target was aimed at the other party’s back chest – the human brain and heart are extremely sensitive and fragile, and they may be directly killed if they are accidentally hit or shaken violently.
And Lu Ziming, who didn’t hold back at all, was of course surprised by the other party’s toughness, so she didn’t hold back in the subsequent attacks, just wanting to see how long this guy could last under her hands.
At this time, seeing that Lingyuan, who was lying on the ground, was already gasping for breath, and the blood-red eyes that were still majestic and murderous just now had also lost their light, Lu Ziming finally stopped. Then, she leisurely walked up, sighed and squatted next to Lingyuan’s head, who still had a trace of consciousness and was struggling to support himself, and sighed: “I’m tired, I don’t want to move even a finger, why don’t you be more powerful, as long as you hold on to this second, maybe the one who dies in the end might really be me.”
“…Uh…uh…pfft…” Lingyuan, who only had one breath left, heard Lu Ziming’s remarks that could make the dead angry and come back to life, and his eyes suddenly burst into a brief moment of brilliance, eagerly opening his mouth as if wanting to refute Lu Ziming, but in the end, he couldn’t utter a word. Instead, because of the serious injury, he was attacked by fire in his heart and spat out a large mouthful of blood, and then his head tried hard to lift up, but he just struggled twice before falling to the ground without making a sound. Looking at his half-open eyes, it was clear that he died with resentment.
