Chapter 83: Spare Your Life?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sima Xiao considered himself adaptable, just like his tentacles.
In 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.
Looking at the very human-like Tier 4 zombie in front of him, Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, “You can talk?”
Sima Xiao flashed a fawning smile, “Yes, I can, sir.”
“And you also know how to beg for mercy…”
“Yes, I can do that too.”
Lu Ming gasped, “You’re not lacking in intelligence…”
Sima Xiao’s expression froze and he was speechless.
High intelligence meant that he knew how to play tricks, which meant that he was more dangerous under the same circumstances.
At 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.
Lu Ming saw Sima Xiao’s expression and even vaguely guessed what it was thinking.
Slowly squinting his eyes, Lu Ming made up his mind.
However…
There were some issues that needed to be addressed first.
“Do tentacle monsters like you have a name?”
Faced with Lu Ming’s question, Sima Xiao was quite willing to share everything!
“Yes, zombies like my type are called Devourers.”
“What about the big guys?”
“Those are called Tanks.”
“Are they all Level 4?”
“Yes, all of them are Level 4?”
“Do you have any special abilities?”
Sima 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…
It felt like its shoulder was crushed.
In 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!”
“Of course, we all have the ability to command low-level zombies.”
Lu Ming removed his sword and nodded gently. “Then you Devourers are very powerful.”
Sima Xiao smiled flatteringly again, “No, not that powerful. Definitely not as powerful as you, Big Brother.”
No shit…’
‘With my system, of course, I’m powerful.’
Lu 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.”
Sima Xiao eagerly nodded, “Of course! No problem! Whatever Big Brother wants me to do, I’ll do it!!”
In order to survive, Sima Xiao was simply going all out.
Hearing this, Lu Ming raised his sword again.
“You said that you can control low-level zombies. Now, please get all the low-level zombies to come to me.”
Moving 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.”
The Swordstorm was activated again.
But this time, Lu Ming did not need to go find the zombies; instead, the zombies came looking for him – which was very satisfying.
At least Lu Ming no longer had to worry about his house and supplies being destroyed.
“Everyone, come here!!”
Sima Xiao roared at the sky, giving his command.
The voice sounded extremely domineering… but it still could not hide its treacherous nature.
However, this was not important.
In any case, the average zombies did not have high intelligence. If they were not stupid, who else could they scam?
“Ha.”
“Huh.”
“Hey!”
The 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!
Then, they were hammered…
Following behind the Tanks were the Tyrants, Hunters, Giant Zombies, and even ordinary zombies.
The overwhelming number was about to drown Lu Ming.
However, after becoming an Awakened, Lu Ming not only had great strength and speed but also terrifying endurance.
The Swordstorm he set off, like an abyss, continuously devoured all the zombies.
Five hours later.
Inside the shelter.
Zhang 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.
However, unlike before, there were several more people on the platform.
Huo Sheng, Bai Tianyu, and a few soldiers from the official shelter.
Their expressions were the same as Zhang Chengcheng and the others—open-mouthed, as if their worldviews had collapsed.
In fact, Bai Tianyu, Huo Sheng, and the others had already arrived at the battlefield when Lu Ming killed the first Tank in the morning,.
They had brought along Awakened ones and heavy weapons.
What they carried was a determination to fight to the death!
It 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.
Therefore, in fact, Huo Sheng had already treated this battle as a life and death battle for the survivors of Nanxiang City!
With determination and courage to fight to the death, Bai Tianyu and the others arrived at the front line.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ming’s solo show had completely refreshed their worldview!
They stood there for five hours.
After watching Lu Ming’s personal show for five hours.
It was only when the zombie wave was about to be defeated that Huo Sheng smiled bitterly. “We came here for nothing…”
It was indeed a wasted trip.
The Awakened in the official shelter had come for nothing.
The activation of heavy weapons and so on was in vain.
Bai Tianyu did not respond to Huo Sheng’s words.
He just stared at Lu Ming intently until Huo Sheng pushed his arm. “What are you thinking about?”
Bai 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?”
Bai Tianyu could no longer understand Lu Ming’s strength…
However, he was greatly shocked!
Huo Sheng smiled freely. “Don’t think too much if you don’t understand. Let’s go. Come with me.”
“Where are we going?”
“The front line, find Lu Ming and…”
As he spoke, Huo Sheng vaguely looked at Sima Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground and not daring to move.
“And that thing.”
The Swordstorm that lasted from morning to afternoon finally stopped.
It was as if the dark clouds had dissipated today, revealing the warm afternoon sun.
Sunlight 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.
At this moment, Lu Ming’s chest was heaving.
He was indeed a little tired. He felt a little tired—like a university student with good physical fitness who had run a thousand meters.
After 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.
He turned to look around.
The 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.
Not far away, Bai Tianyu and Huo Sheng walked over quickly on this ground and quickly arrived beside Lu Ming..
