Just as her fingers were still rapidly tracing on the glass, a loud BARK rang out. Rollo wrinkled his wet nose, his fur standing on end as he glared fixedly at the hovering female corpse and issued a warning.
The woman abruptly raised her head. Her crimson eyes instantly locked onto Rollo, the ferocity in her gaze seemingly sharp enough to pierce through the heavy curtain of rain.
The dead silence was thoroughly shattered. Everyone present jolted, snapping back to their senses. In the next second, the woman catapulted herself into the air from the third floor. With a WHOOSH of wind, she lunged straight at Rollo!
In the nick of time, Little Sweet Potato’s countless vines surged forward. However, the woman’s speed was astonishing. She twisted and dodged mid-air, leaving overlapping afterimages that made it look as if she had split into multiple clones, narrowly evading the trapping vines.
SWISH!
A piercingly sharp sound echoed. Water Blades, encased in dense micro-bubbles, materialized out of thin air. With fierce whooshing sounds that tore through space, they shot rapidly toward the aerial afterimages.
Luna Dawson’s eyes narrowed. She raised a hand and made a vicious grabbing motion. The falling raindrops instantly gathered, condensing into a massive water sphere that firmly engulfed the entire area where the woman was darting around. Inside the sphere, the Water Blades seemed to have eyes of their own. They relentlessly chased and stabbed at the woman’s figure, denying her a single moment to catch her breath.
The woman thrashed like a maniac, frantically crashing into the sphere’s membrane. The surface rippled layer upon layer but remained completely unyielding. As Luna slightly curled her fingertips, the water sphere shrank tighter and tighter. The woman’s hideous, contorted face was magnified, clearly imprinted in everyone’s sight. Her grayish-blue eyes were murky and bulging, and the corners of her mouth were torn all the way to her ears. Viscous drool mixed with rainwater dripped endlessly from her maw.
Seizing the opportunity, Little Sweet Potato’s vines danced wildly, whipping the woman over and over again. The bizarre zombie was battered back and forth like a broken ragdoll, leaving her covered in wounds. Yet, those gashes rapidly healed at a visible rate. Just as she was beaten until completely disoriented, Luna manipulated the countless Water Blades to surround her in a full 360-degree, inescapable perimeter.
SLASH!
The Water Blades acted like freezing bolts of lightning, ruthlessly piercing into the woman’s skull. The speed was so fast that she couldn’t even form the thought of dodging, let alone allow the naked eye to track the movement!
“Heh, so it’s a foreign ghost. Go to hell!” Luna’s voice was as cold as ice, laced with unquestionable killing intent.
Little Sweet Potato’s vines cooperated in perfect sync, instantly piercing through the woman’s head. With a sudden, vicious yank, two glistening Crystal Cores were forcibly gouged out. Mashed brains gushed out like an opened faucet with a loud SQUELCH, splashing into the puddles and kicking up murky sprays. The woman’s corpse hit the ground with a heavy THUD. Dark red puddle water splashed onto her rotting cheeks, highlighting the resentment and malice lingering in her grayish-blue eyes.
The exact moment this Tier Four Zombie completely lost all signs of life, the entirety of Decron seemed to have its awakening switch flipped. It instantly came alive! No, it was more like a descent into a terrifying frenzy born from the absolute dead silence!
ROAR!
SCREECH!
HAHAHA!
High-pitched, shrill, and endlessly malicious shrieks erupted from every dark corner of Decron. They sounded like a blaring war horn, vibrating painfully against their eardrums. The monsters hiding in the depths of the dead city no longer bothered to conceal their tracks. They erupted with astonishing speed and violent hostility, swarming toward a single direction. The zombies had been unleashed!
HOWL!
Like a raging tide, the zombies advanced madly toward the safe zone, one wave towering over the next. Amidst the pattering rain, sky-filling sinister laughter and raspy roars mixed with overwhelming, heavy footsteps. The sounds echoed from all directions, acting like an invisible, giant net slowly closing in around them. It was a zombie horde! A horde with numbers far beyond imagination!
Luna had just safely stored the two Fourth Order Crystal Cores away when her gaze swept into the distance. Wherever the powerful searchlights illuminated, a dense, blackened swarm of zombies was sprinting madly in their direction. Having rotted for over half a year and washed by days of continuous rain, the shredded flesh on their bodies mingled with pus and blood. The gore splattered everywhere as they ran, emitting a nauseating stench.
Leading the pack was a tall, young male zombie. His eyes had long been gouged out, leaving only two pitch-black sockets. His waist and abdomen were torn completely open vertically, exposing his kidneys. The internal organs from his abdominal cavity, mixed with sticky intestines, dragged along his sides, yet they didn’t hinder his movements in the slightest. He was clearly a speed-type Superpower User, as he charged the fastest. Arms swinging wildly and a massive mouth torn to the ears, he let out a guttural howl, lunging at Luna and her group at full speed.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
CRACKLE!
Various superpowers erupted instantly, resembling fireworks blooming in the sky. With crackling pops and blasts, they bombarded the undead horde. The vanguard of zombies fell in rows on impact like dominoes. However, the zombies behind them showed absolutely no fear. Trampling over the corpses of their own kind, they continued their frenzied charge.
Everyone was so tense that their palms sweat and their fingertips ran cold. As one wave of zombies fell, more surged forward to take their place. They were densely packed and seemingly endless. When the sheer density of the crashing zombies began to overwhelm the group’s superpower attacks, a few of the monsters finally broke through the defensive line, charging within a hundred-meter radius.
At this moment, everyone’s scalps went numb. Fear spread through their hearts like a rising tide. No wonder the previous squad had been completely wiped out! This scene before them was the largest zombie horde they had ever witnessed since the apocalypse began! Decron once boasted a population of over ten million. Even if more than half had died, there were still millions of zombies roaming the city. Now, these densely packed zombies swept across like a swarm of locusts, trampling over every ruin in the city. Countless condemned buildings were battered by the crowding zombies until they teetered precariously, ultimately collapsing with a deafening crash that kicked up a sky full of mud and gravel.
This was a terrifying force that their small team of less than a hundred people simply could not withstand. They were doomed!
Just as despair began to consume the group, Luna sprang into action. She raised her hand and violently thrust it toward the hundred-meter mark. BAM! BAM! BAM! Several thick Water Walls instantly erected themselves. The leading zombies slammed hard into the barricades, producing dull thuds upon impact. They could only scratch and roar helplessly against the walls, entirely unable to break through. Immediately after, Luna flicked her wrist. Countless high-speed Water Bombs emitting white smoke materialized out of thin air. They whistled past everyone, radiating an intense burning sensation. In an instant, they corroded and melted the heads of an entire ring of zombies gathered outside the walls.
Before one wave ended, another began. The Water Bombs poured out relentlessly, piling the zombie corpses into a mountain in front of the Water Walls.
The members of the Genesis Team and Omni Squad were completely dumbfounded. Who had ever seen the indiscriminate slaughter of a Fourth-rank Water Ability? They were witnessing it today! One had to know, the ones charging at the very front were all highly agile Tier Two and Third-tier Zombies! That monumental wave of superpower fluctuations swept over them like a tsunami, and all of it was surging from Luna!
Dylan DuPont was utterly astounded. At this moment, he finally understood why the higher-ups had specifically issued a notice mandating them to fully cooperate with Luna on this mission. She truly lived up to her title as the captain of the First Squad! Luna’s strength was actually powerful to such an insane degree!
Kyle Keith’s gaze was filled with extreme shock. He stared at the hellish rainy night before him, his complicated eyes finally settling on Luna, who was raising her hands and unleashing boundless superpowers. He wondered, “Is this… really a level of superpower a human can possess?”
