Chapter 475: The Essence of the Baseball Bat
“How can it be a human…”
Bi Fang couldn’t believe her eyes. A human was walking among the zombie horde, and the zombie following behind her seemed to be her underling.
No, it seemed she was commanding these zombies.
Ren Zhonglong searched through all his memories but couldn’t find any warning from the company about this.
Only some fused individual zombies could command some zombies to attack. After observing for these few days, the number of commands was still limited. It was not like now, where the corpse tide was like a sea wave. The entire black market had instantly become a paradise for zombies. Everyone had been infected and turned into zombies.
“Who are you?!”
Ren Zhonglong looked at the beautiful yet unfamiliar woman before him. He was in no mood to appreciate her long legs and perky butt. He felt she was exuding an aura of death.
“My name is Number Nine.”
A voice without any emotional fluctuation came from Number Nine’s mouth.
Number Nine?
Ren Zhonglong didn’t know this character at all. After all, even the most perverted man knew to call himself Tang Ze.
“I don’t seem to have any grudge against you. Why did you attack here!”
Number Nine stared at Ren Zhonglong. This made Ren Zhonglong feel as if he were being stared at by a poisonous scorpion. His whole body was uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Ren Zhonglong remembered that a city under Giant Arm’s jurisdiction had fallen, and an Arm-level had even died.
Looking at the man standing behind Number Nine, could it be!
“Your strength is not bad. Join me,” Number Nine said flatly, even extending her fair palm.
Ren Zhonglong gasped for breath and suddenly shouted, “You want me to become a zombie? Impossible!”
With that, he raised his knife and slashed at Number Nine.
A fierce flame even gushed out from the blade.
“Fierce Flame Slash!”
This one slash landed fiercely on Number Nine’s shoulder. The blade even cut in. This made Ren Zhonglong’s terrified face show a hint of a smile.
But when he wanted to pull out the blade, it seemed to be stuck.
What was going on?
In an instant, Ren Zhonglong saw her five fingers pierce into his own chest. He could even feel her nails touching his heart.
“A very strong heart.”
Number Nine said softly, pulling out the knife on her shoulder. The wound immediately healed. Ren Zhonglong had thought Tang Ze was already formidable enough, but the woman before him seemed even more formidable. This self-healing ability was unbelievable.
Number Nine released Ren Zhonglong. She felt the temperature of the blood on her fingertips and licked it with her scarlet tongue. Her two pupils became scorching.
Ren Zhonglong, who had fallen to the ground, clutched his chest. He felt his consciousness getting more and more blurry. His brain seemed unable to control his body, as if it had detached.
Ren Zhonglong, propped up on the ground with both hands, struggled to raise his head. In the end, he could only see Number Nine’s high-top high heels. He collapsed powerlessly to the ground, his skin beginning to dry up.
Bi Fang couldn’t believe that the powerful Ren Zhonglong was gone just like that. He was the leader of the Freelancer Alliance.
Just as Bi Fang thought Ren Zhonglong was dead, he slowly stood up, walking into the corpse horde with a swaying gait, and then turned to look at Bi Fang.
Bi Fang’s whole person sat on the ground powerlessly. He had become a zombie…
“Come here,” Number Nine said softly.
Bi Fang subconsciously shook her head, but her legs very honestly stood up, walking toward Number Nine step by step with a pleading look.
Number Nine extended her finger and caressed Bi Fang’s cheek. “You are very beautiful.”
Bi Fang’s tears immediately streamed down, falling onto Number Nine’s fingers. “I am willing to follow you, to serve you. You are also a human. You can’t let a zombie serve you, can you?”
But just as she finished speaking, Number Nine’s finger pierced into Bi Fang’s forehead. And Bi Fang’s eyes rolled back. Her ear, however, heard Number Nine’s voice.
“I am not human.”
In a few seconds, Bi Fang also became a member of the corpse horde. Her originally ink-black long hair now had only a few sparse strands. Her eyes were sunken, and her skin was dry…
With everyone in the black market infected, Number Nine continued to head south. Although she had no destination, wherever she passed, not a blade of grass grew.
And this time, the black market also added two million to the corpse tide. Plus the original two million, the corpse tide army in Number Nine’s hands could overturn any city.
But at this moment, Tang Ze was heading north.
A few nights later.
A plain Volkswagen was driving on the road. The car was even playing upbeat music. It felt like a road trip.
Tang Ze, who was driving, stroked Ji Lan’s hair, a satisfied smile on his face.
“Hiss, madam, you’ve hurt me.”
Ji Lan sat up straight. “My hair is about to be pulled out by you.”
“Isn’t it almost there? Hurry up, hurry up.”
Suddenly, Tang Ze shouted, “Wait.”
“What’s wrong with you now?”
“There are lights.”
Ji Lan looked up. Sure enough, there was a light in the dark night. They had passed by many cities these few days, but basically, there were no living people. It was all zombies. To be able to see a person now felt like winning the lottery.
“Madam, do you think they will kindly take us in? Oh dear, don’t be greedy yet.”
“I just like this.”
“…”
Tang Ze sighed. The madam used to be a proper person. Ever since she had been with him, she had started to be improper.
If it weren’t for him being strong enough, he would probably have been sucked dry.
As they got closer to the city, Tang Ze also saw the name of the city on the road sign.
Dashan City.
Whose territory was this again?
But there weren’t many zombies around here.
“Madam, let’s just walk in.”
“Can’t you not call me madam?”
“I also like this.”
“…”
The outskirts of the city were still pitch black. At night, as long as you didn’t make too much noise, the zombies were basically like obedient babies.
On the road, Tang Ze’s arm was on Ji Lan’s shoulder. “Madam, your outfit today is a little sexy.”
“Didn’t you say you wanted it to be sexy?”
Ji Lan rolled her eyes to the back of her heels. An ordinary woman probably couldn’t stand him.
Tang Ze let out a strange “oh” and secretly tried. “Madam, you actually…”
“Isn’t it convenient for you?”
Tang Ze gave a thumbs-up. The madam still knew him best. “But be careful. Don’t expose yourself.”
“Do you still care about this?”
“That’s right. At least you’re half of my collection.”
Ji Lan felt this conversation couldn’t go on. If it continued, she would collapse.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the sealed-off area. Like most places, it was stacked with containers.
A searchlight immediately enveloped the two of them. “Who’s there!”
The people on the container seemed to be startled. Crossbows and everything were aimed at the two of them.
Tang Ze shouted, “We are wanderers.”
Perhaps the voice was too loud, waking up a few nearby zombies. They immediately rushed toward Tang Ze.
And Tang Ze, holding the Sleep-Aid Divine Artifact, began to kill the zombies. However, his slightly slow movements made these people relax. They were just ordinary people. The person he was protecting seemed to be a woman, wearing a hat.
Five minutes later, Tang Ze was panting. Ji Lan secretly looked at Tang Ze. It seemed quite interesting.
“Hey, take off your hat.” a man shouted.
Tang Ze paused for a moment. “This is my wife.”
“Then are you looking for death?!”
An arrow was shot directly at Tang Ze’s feet.
Tang Ze let out an “oh dear” in his heart. So fierce.
Ji Lan suddenly shouted weakly, “Don’t kill my husband! I’ll take it off.”
Tang Ze: “…”
You’re not even going to act? You’re acting quite well.
Ji Lan thought to herself, Aren’t I just playing along with you?
As Ji Lan took off her hat, her beautiful face was displayed before a group of men. Their saliva was about to come out. The night shift was already hard. They hadn’t expected to be so lucky tonight, to run into a peerless beauty. Her figure was too explosive.
“The woman comes in! The man, scram!” the leading captain shouted in a low voice. He didn’t even think about anything else. His intelligence had already followed Ji Lan’s five senses.
Ji Lan hid behind Tang Ze with a scared look. “No.”
This weak appearance made the men laugh. Their minds were already filled with images of ravaging her. It was so exciting.
“If you don’t come over, I’ll kill your husband!”
Everyone had switched to guns. Truly, a self-thrown net.
Tang Ze put the Sleep-Aid Divine Artifact into Ji Lan’s hand and shouted, “Don’t shoot! I’ll let my wife go in.”
“Hmph.”
The captain snorted coldly. What a useless man.
A door opened on a container in the corner. “Come here.”
Ji Lan held the baseball bat and walked over. For these men, she was no threat. They just wanted to play with her jade-like legs.
Just as Ji Lan walked in, she saw she was surrounded by men. She said pitifully, “What are you doing? Don’t come over.”
With that, she even raised the baseball bat in her hand.
“Hahahahahahahaha.”
Seeing the peerless beauty’s scared appearance up close, the men were extremely satisfied.
The captain even said with a mischievous smile, “Beauty, don’t be afraid. If you serve me well, there will be no shortage of good food. It’s better than wandering outside.”
With that, he stretched out his grimy hand, as if to leave a mark on Ji Lan’s chest.
And Ji Lan let out a scream, closed her eyes, and raised the Sleep-Aid Divine Artifact in her hand. With a muffled thud, the smiles on the men’s faces froze.
The captain’s head had been smashed by her.
Ji Lan suddenly discovered that it was indeed quite fun. The corner of her mouth curled up. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t control my strength well.”
“Quick! Kill her! She’s a fused individual!”
A man beside her reacted. He hadn’t expected the man not to be, but the woman was a fused individual!
Ji Lan didn’t use her ability either. She swung the baseball bat, and heads flew off their bodies, flying into the night sky.
The few men beside her were so scared they were paralyzed. The crossbows were useless against her.
“Didn’t you want me to accompany you? Why are you running? Come here.”
Seeing a few start to turn and run, Ji Lan leaped, directly blocking the escaping men. At the same time, she swung the Sleep-Aid Divine Artifact. One hit, and they would sleep until their next life.
Just then, gunshots rang out. At the same time, it alerted the zombies outside, and the people in the city.
Unfortunately, the bullets had no effect on Ji Lan. They all fell at her feet. Ji Lan’s figure flashed, one bat for one child.
In a moment, the defense point of more than twenty people was completely smashed. Only a young man was left, hiding on the ground.
Tang Ze, at this time, was holding a Huazi. He walked in from the door beside him. “Tsk, I told you to keep your movements small.”
Ji Lan rolled her eyes.
“And also, you have no feel when you hit like this. You don’t understand the essence,” he said.
With that, he beckoned with his finger. Ji Lan gave the baseball bat to Tang Ze.
“First, you have to hold it tightly with both hands. Second, you have to hold back your strength. If you don’t, that’s called playing whack-a-mole. Watch me demonstrate.”
With that, he walked up to the young man.
And the young man looked at the dripping baseball bat, his face pale.
“Don’t kill me! I have old people at home and young ones to take care of…”
Tang Ze let out an “oh.” “Be good. Close your eyes.”
The young man closed his eyes in terror. His pants were already wet. Tears and snot flowed freely.
Tang Ze twisted his neck. “Madam, learn from this.”
“I’m watching.” Ji Lan crossed her arms.
“You have to raise it high behind you, and your body has to sway. Treat yourself as an ordinary person, and then swing down.”
With a muffled thud, a streak of blood flowed from the young man’s forehead.
And Tang Ze said, “Madam, did you hear that?”
“I heard it. The crisp sound of the skull cracking. Let me try.”
“Come quickly. I’ll teach you how to play. This is the essence.”
At this moment, the scene, if placed in the past, would be a man holding a woman and teaching her to play golf.
But now, it was knocking on heads.
Another muffled thud. The shattered skull could already be seen.
“That’s right. Just like this. Find the feeling yourself.”
Tang Ze patted Ji Lan’s head.
And Ji Lan also seemed to have found the feeling. She knocked one bat after another. But in her heart, she was thinking, When I was killing the Tang family people before, I should have knocked them to death like this! Let them die in pain!
Just then.
A few cars drove over from a distance. The headlights happened to shine on Ji Lan. It felt like watching a horror movie.
