Battle Zombie Beasts

"Zeyu, what are they talking about? What food?"

Lei Dashan thought he had smartened up. He didn't ask the Yun Brothers, instead, he enquired Zhou Zeyu in a low voice, but…

"What food? Crystal nuclei."

"Huh?"

"Who would put crystal nuclei in the mouth? Yun Cheng a bit hardcore, isn't he?"

Lei Dashan once again opened up his eyes in shock. He got nothing to say about this. But of course, he wouldn't have thought that Yun Cheng ate crystal nuclei because he was a zombie. Superfunction possessors, however, would absorb the power of a piece of crystal nucleus by holding it in hand. Referring to crystal nuclei as food did sound a bit hardcore.

"Why do you have to be nosy? We can never understand those sick bastards."

Chen Hua had truly smartened up. He sympathetically patted Lei Dashan on the shoulder. To view the Yun Brother as ordinary people was the biggest mistake one could make. If you were curious, you'd better keep your curiosity to yourself.

Lei Dashan looked at Chen Hua with teary eyes. He couldn't have known they were talking about crystal nuclei, he thought it was real food. Damn, Yun Cheng was innocently wicked.

"Get ready to go into the village. Beware the zombie beasts, there are a lot of them and their level is high. I see dozens of level-4 zombie beasts and some level-4 zombies. No mutant pandas have been detected at the moment."

Yun Che didn't care about the little conversation they were having over there. He held Chenchen with one hand and Heiyu with the other while staring off into the village imperturbably. Yun Cheng stepped forward, closed his eyes and brought forth his superfunction energy. Humans had no unusual feelings but the zombies could clearly sense the Overbearing Airs from him.

*Roaaaar*

The zombies backed up in fear. Some fell into the fields, some were stomped by other zombies during the jostling. The noise they made showed they were scared. Chaoyang and Peak had been used to this, Joy and Loser, however, were stunned. They gawked at the scene, having no clue what they were seeing. "What superfunction can scare zombies?"

"Heehee, look, brother, I'm good, aren't I?"

Looking at the cleared path, Yun Cheng clapped his hand. He turned around, picked Chenchen up and claimed credit without noticing the stunned crowd over there. Yun Che praised him, "Yeah, you're the best."

"You're awesome, Uncle Cheng!"

Chenchen gave him a thumbs-up. He saw Uncle Cheng as Ultraman No. 2 and he would become Ultraman No. 3 when he grew up.

"Heehee!"

Being praised both by his brother and nephew, Yun Cheng beamed, showing his even, glossy teeth. Leng Yehan gave him a loving smile. After making eye contact with Yun Che, he stepped up with the blade in his hand. "Let's go."

Led by Leng Yehan, the core unit of Peak cleared the way, the secondary unit followed closely, then Joy and Loser. Xing Feng, Yun Che and the other Chaoyang people were at the end.

Woof!

Right after the team stepped into the village, 8 zombie dogs rushed out, foul fluids dripped from their sharp tusks. The dogs came for the team alongside all kinds of superfunction attacks. Leng Yehan jumped up and struck the burning blade ferociously at one of the dogs.

Boom!

Arrwwwuuff

Zhou Zeyu fired superfunction at the zombie dogs. Yun Che shouted out behind them, "All those under level-4, retreat! Those are level-4 zombie dogs. More zombie beasts are coming."

Humans could hardly battle zombies and zombie beats at the same level, much less one level lower because humans were physically weaker than zombies.

"Haoling, attack!"

Xing Feng calmly gave the order. Chaoyang warriors charged at the dogs. All the under level-4 superfunction possessors retreated and covered them. Xing Feng, too, joined the battle, the Yun Brothers and Chenchen didn't.

Thump!

Booom!

On the road, all kinds of superfunction clashed. Led by the zombie dogs, zombie cats, chickens, ducks, even pigs rushed out. They used to be livestock in the countryside. These animals weren't strong before the doomsday but through zombification, they were as dangerous as the zombie dogs. And they were at least level-3. The battle with nearly a hundred zombie beasts was strenuous even for the level-4 superfunction possessors.

"Ugh! Fuck you!"

An earth zombie cat hit Zhou Zeyu on the back right after he threw out two overpowering tornados. As he spat out blood, he fought back by throwing the blades of wind at the cat. Everyone else was struggling. After all, they were outnumbered by so many same-level zombie beasts, so none of them got to take a breather.

"It isn't right. Haoling didn't mention all these zombie beasts, there must be something wrong with the village."

Yun Che knitted his brows and muttered as they were at a disadvantage. He quickly scanned the air panel for something and there it was!

"Damn, a level-5 zombie beast!"

Yun Che cursed. Jiang Yuan who was the nearest to Yun Che leaned in and asked, "Che, should we go help Captain Xing and his men?"

He had no idea what a level-5 zombie beast meant, all he knew was that he was only level-3 and that he needed to urgently level up through more battles. Not until the four former dorm-mates of Yun Che joined Peak did they realize all members of the core unit of Peak had become level-4 and that those who didn't join any battles, for example, Yun Yao, Mr. Zhan and Mr. Chen, had become level-3. Thus, their leveling surely was pressured.

"Che, send us to battle."

Kong Jiawen, too, was anxious. The poor young man hadn't even reached level-3. His level was the lowest in Peak other than Chenchen. So during his first quest, he didn't even allow himself to be scared. He ordered himself to adapt to the intensive battles. He was always the first to charge at the zombies whether the enemies were level-2 or level-3. He had been injured many times in the past few days. Hadn't Lu Haixuan cured him, he would have become a zombie or dead.

"Che!"

The other three former dorm-mates of Yun Che, Zhu Zeping, Jin Chengxi and Wu Kunqi, all looked at Yun Che. Their eyes were filled with the desires for battle. These level-3 superfunction possessors craved for a breakthrough.

"Fine. The five of you stick together, don't split up."

Yun Che gave his permission after scanning every one of them.

"OK."

The five of them plunged themselves into the battleground after nodding their heads. The rest of the level-3 superfunction possessors from Joy and Loser switched their eyes toward Yun Che as well. Since their captains were in battle, they took orders from Yun Che at the moment.

"4 or 5 people a group. Remember, cooperate and stick together. I want zero casualties."

"Yes, Captain Yun!"

After being given the permission, the anxious superfunction possessors threw out their superfunction before they charged at the zombie beasts. Meanwhile, a zombie chicken flew at Yun Che across the crowd. The zombie beasts would mindlessly attack the human being at the highest level, and their target now was undoubtedly Yun Che.

"Piss off!"

Thud!

Before it reached Yun Che, Yun Cheng rushed over to shield his brother. When his light ball hit the chicken, half of its body exploded.

*Cluck Cluck*

The zombie chicken wasn't dead but it couldn't stand on its feet. It kept crowing at Yun Che. Yun Che threw a streak of lightning at the chicken. Its head was cut in half, its crystal nucleus got sucked into Yun Che's pocket.

"Brother, I smell some delicious! Very delicious."

Yun Cheng picked up Chenchen with one hand and held Yun Che's hand with the other hand in excitement as he sensed a higher level crystal nucleus.

"Yeah, a level-5 zombie beast. Don't be overexcited, it'll be a tricky one."

Yun Che shook his head and once again stared off into the village. "Why isn't it attacking us along with these zombie beasts? I'm sure it wasn't here when Chu Haoling came here a few days ago, otherwise, they wouldn't have made it home alive. What is it?"

"Don't worry, I'm better than it. Let's go find it, I'll starve if it runs away."

Once there was tastier stuff, Yun Cheng didn't care about level-4 crystal nuclei anymore. All he wanted now was the level-5 crystal nucleus.

"When did I let you starve, huh?"

Yun Che gently and lovingly knocked him on the head. He whistled after giving a look at Xing Feng and his men fighting the zombie beasts, the two eagles came to them. Xing Feng looked back at them upon hearing the whistle with his disapproving eyes, but being caught up in the battle, he couldn't stop Yun Che even if he wanted to. He could just watch the eagles land in front of Yun Che.

"Eagles, join the battle."

But Yun Che didn't sit on the eagle. He knew his brother was eager for the level-5 crystal nucleus, but they couldn't leave at the moment. Once Yun Cheng was gone, the zombies would attack the team. It would only put them in a worse situation. The only solution was to wipe out all the zombie beasts here before going into the village to find the level-5 zombie beast.

*Coo coo*

The eagles were confused because their master specifically told them to protect Yun Che.

"I'll be with you. Relax, your master won't blame you."

As he spoke, Yun Che had held his black blade in his hand. The eagles obeyed and flew to the battleground. Heiyu, however, got agitated on Yun Che's shoulder. "Are you going to fight as well, master? Come on, I'm not bullshitting you here, what if you are pregnant? What if the fight affects the baby?"

Most times, Heiyu was a bad pet, but when it came to Yun Che's health, he became serious.

"Even if I am, it's just a fertilized egg. Affects what? If I don't join the battle now, we'll be in bigger trouble."

Yun Che looked askance at Heiyu. He knew his body and these were level-4 zombie beasts whereas he was already level 5, so these beasts couldn't harm him. As long as he wasn't injured, it should be fine.

"Brother…"

"Sorry, Cheng, that we can't find you the snack for now. If you're gone, the zombies will attack our friends and Han will be in danger. Which one is more important to you? Han or the level-5 crystal nucleus?"

"Han!"

Yun Cheng blurted it out without thinking, meanwhile, he moved his eyes toward the battleground. Yun Cheng suddenly rushed to Leng Yehan upon seeing he was injured.

"Heiyu, hold on tight."

A hint of contentment flashed in Yun Che eyes. He yelled and followed his brother with the blade in hand.
