BC Chapter 163

Lu Ziming was still a bit dazed even after she had completely shielded Yao Jinglin behind her. She didn’t understand why she had instinctively acted to rescue the woman behind her. Although it was part of her and Xu Rubing’s plan, her personality wouldn’t have allowed her to intervene so hastily.

But now that she had already saved someone, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and face the situation head-on.

What Lu Ziming didn’t know was that the secondary mutation she had just undergone had further strengthened her body, so even against You Lan and Ling Yuan, she had a fighting chance, let alone just Ling Yuan in front of her.

As early as when the two of them were fighting their way out of the mall, Xu Rubing had already noticed Lu Ziming’s changes. Originally, when she faced Lu Ziming, she could have completely crushed her, after all, she had experienced the secondary mutation before Lu Ziming. But since Lu Ziming had also experienced the previous secondary mutation, her skills had already surpassed her own—Xu Rubing had always been good at using a bow and arrow. If they were at the same mutation level, Lu Ziming, who liked rock climbing, would have a stronger physical build.

According to Xu Rubing, Lu Ziming’s skills were now more agile than a monkey. For example, when they faced the super-speed zombies before, Xu Rubing’s first thought was actually to escape, because she knew how difficult these super-speed zombies were. Her weapon was suitable for long-range sneak attacks but not for close-quarters combat. At close range, her skills were far less explosive than those of the super-speed zombies, so avoiding them was the best choice at the time.

But just as she wanted to tell Lu Ziming her thoughts, Lu Ziming didn’t wait for her to speak and charged towards the super-speed zombie with the field shovel she had looted from the outdoor equipment store.

With quick movements, neat skills, and no hesitation, Lu Ziming swung the shovel at the super-speed zombie.

The zombie on the opposite side was obviously intelligent. When it saw that Lu Ziming’s weapon had already swung in front of it, its rushing body suddenly contracted, and its entire body squatted down. With extremely strong body flexibility, it pressed down, directly prostrating on the ground, successfully dodging Lu Ziming’s swing. Then, its speed only slowed down slightly before extending its sharp claws towards Lu Ziming’s lower body. According to the super-speed zombie’s explosive power, if this attack landed, Lu Ziming’s intestines would probably be pulled out.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ziming seemed to have anticipated its next move in advance. She directly followed the force of her horizontal shovel swing, lifting her body into the air, twisting around to dodge the super-speed zombie’s grab. When her body landed, she directly kicked the super-speed zombie’s back, causing the zombie to roll a full 360 degrees.

If the zombie hadn’t gotten up from the ground quickly enough, Lu Ziming would have already planned to charge over with the shovel and give it another hit.

The field shovel in Lu Ziming’s hand was a very practical tool. It was extremely useful for outdoor activities such as picnics and camping. There was also a reason why Lu Ziming chose this field shovel as her weapon. First of all, this thing was a structure of several small sections, which could be combined and changed in length and use by twisting. Secondly, although the shovel head was spade-shaped, both sides of the pointed head had extremely strong shapes. One side was like a blade, and the other side was like a pointed serration, and the shovel head also had replaceable spikes and tools of other shapes.

Just like when she was facing the super-speed zombie, she was thinking of directly cutting the zombie’s most vulnerable neck with the subsequent hit, but the opponent’s reaction speed was too fast, and it didn’t give her a chance to solve it in two hits, so she had to go through a hard battle to take down that super-speed zombie.

The situation in front of her was different. After all, the zombies she encountered before were just zombies. Even if they had some residual intelligence, they couldn’t compare to the meticulous and calculating normal people. But the white-clothed man Lu Ziming was facing was not those mindless zombies. Although he was angered by Lu Ziming, he still had reason.

This made Lu Ziming have to treat the other party more carefully and cautiously. She pulled out the field shovel from behind, which had been replaced with a spike as a weapon. The entire field shovel had become a half-length spear, and the shovel handle was shining with a silver cold light.

Ling Yuan, who had climbed up from the ground, also raised his weapon, gritting his teeth in restraint. Although he tried his best to endure the burning pain on his face, he still couldn’t hide the slight trembling of the muscles on his face, which had betrayed his forbearance.

“I will kill you!” Even when he was forced to become one of the gu worms in the laboratory, fighting with those people until he was bruised and confused, he had never felt so humiliated as he did now.

With full of anger and shame, Ling Yuan completely let go of his state, so the veins on his neck bulged, as if a small, invisible airflow was walking under his skin. A small bulge quickly moved from his skin covered by clothes along the route from his chest to the top of his head towards his eyes.

Ling Yuan also slowly closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them, his aura was completely different, it was completely different from just now. The blood lines in his eyes were as dense as spider webs that were solidifying, until the whites of his entire eyes were covered with blood, the still black pupils, coupled with the surrounding crimson, made Ling Yuan’s face look more like a demon just crawling out of hell.

With murderous aura and resentment, Ling Yuan’s pair of blood pupils directly locked onto Lu Ziming in front of him, let out a suppressed low roar, and his whole person crashed into the unresponsive Lu Ziming like a flash of white lightning.
