“How troublesome.” The black-robed man looked impatient. He turned around and glanced over Tang Ling, but ultimately grunted with disdain. What was he trying to express?

However, in the next second, the black-robed man made a move that drove Tang Ling crazy.

Casually, he tossed his little sister behind towards the group of zombies.

Seven to eight zombies swarmed over, and one of them caught his little sister. Tang Ling saw with his own eyes that the sharp nails of one of the zombies easily tore through his little sister’s robe and grazed her skin, making her bleed instantly.

The other zombies had almost no resistance towards the stimulation of blood. They gathered around with the excited roars of hunger.

“She’s a decent prey. You guys better be gentle with her.” The black-robed man’s words drifted along with his sneering laughter and in the next second, Tang Ling realized the man had strangely disappeared.

However, the man’s hateful and detesting voice was still lingering further away. “That troublesome one should taste decent also. Feast on him too.”

All the words entered Tang Ling’s ears, yet his mind suddenly blanked out uncontrollably for three to five seconds.

Was it three or five seconds? Tang Ling did not understand why would he think about such a strange question. His body felt like it was being devoured by a black hole whereby every second was torture for him.

Where was the devouring black hole? It seemed to come from his chest.

“Big… Brother.” A weak call suddenly woke Tang Ling up. He saw his little sister pop her head out from between three to four zombies. Blood was dripping from her hair while her eyes were in despair, and she seemed to display a lot more of reliance and the heavy feeling of parting.

Tang Ling exploded!

He erupted that very moment. He watched his muscles throughout his body bulge up hugely and unusually. The bulging quickly made his clothes burst and so did his skin. Therefore, the follicles on his skin started to bleed in small areas, staining the strips of clothes red.

He felt his bones crack and he was growing tall swiftly. Several other zombies that ran towards him looked small to the point that they were only half his size.

More importantly, Tang Ling was controlled by a frenzied consciousness. All that was left in his heart were emotions that he madly wanted to vent. The other thing was power. There was a lot of power in him, and it was power similar to a mutated beast’s.

Tang Ling stepped out and sped forward. Neither did he realize that his steps were as heavy as the frenzied bull crossing the land, nor did he know that he was as fast as an iron pellet being fired.

Roar!

The zombies were not scared of him at all. Their mouths reeked as they opened up and bared their fangs at Tang Ling while sprinting towards him. However, on the point of contact, Tang Ling shoved them away powerfully and grabbed them back to mercilessly tear them into two.

“Argh!” Black blood from the zombies spewed in front of Tang Ling, splashing his head and face, but Tang Ling felt that his burst of emotions needed blood like this to be spilled. Only then could he try to calm the torturing scorching sensation in his body a little.

Nonetheless, it was not enough, not at all. Tang Ling’s eyes move to the side as he locked his sights on a zombie closest to him. His hand grabbed the zombie by the skull. It was not strenuous at all as all five of his fingers rammed into bone. With a quick tug, that zombie’s crown was removed in a single motion.

The wail from the zombie was irritating to Tang Ling. He grabbed the zombie whole and rammed it with his knee. The zombie was distorted to an eerie 90° angle; even the spine was clearly broken.

No, it was far from enough! Tang Ling continued to step forward. A single kick from him perforated the next zombie’s chest before it was stomped beneath his foot. He mercilessly shook his foot, swinging the crushed zombie’s body a dozen meters away.

Other than that, it seemed like there were several more zombies that came out from the settlement.

Come! Come on… but I seem to have forgotten something important.

Tang Ling fell into tremendous pain as he continued his frenzied slaughter which prevented him from remembering anything. He was like a highly efficient killing robot who knew no exhaustion. Only the glimmering red shine in his eyes was flickering fiercely.

It seemed like he ought to burn his vitality to the end until everything was destroyed to escape from the deepest pain in his life.

Further away, a strong-looking figure that was as buff as a mountain appeared on the top of the southern wall. Behind him was an unusually huge longsword. He seemed like he was looking for something.

He soon noticed Tang Ling beneath the sector wall fighting the zombies. He sighed before he simply jumped off the sector wall that was more than a hundred meters tall.

In Safety Sector No. 17 in May, heavy rain had been continuing for three straight days.

People from before the end of the era could hardly imagine how summer, which should be scorching hot, was impeded with ruthless rain that was swirled around by the cold wind. It was as cold as winter. What kind of scene was that?

However, it did not stop the people of Safety Sector No. 17 from celebrating. Rainwater with the standards of Level 4 drinking water was always precious.

If it were in the past, even an hour of drizzle was considered a blessing from heaven, let alone a storm that lasted for three straight days.

If this city’s less than complete drainage system could be stronger, it would be a lot better.

“Though I am willing to bet that they are very happy now, the water that drowned their houses are all Level 4 drinking water.” Su Yao had a cigarette lingering at the corner of his mouth. Smoke came out from his nostrils while he was joking with the cooking maiden who was boiling some soup. His mischievous hand even conveniently slapped her buttock which was as plump as a peach.

The cooking maiden was not angry. Instead, she glanced over Su Yao coquettishly. At the end of an era, such a strong man symbolized safety, so she did not mind spending a beautiful night with such a man.

Unfortunately, Su Yao did not plan to carry on. He greedily sucked the last puff from his cigarette before gave his order, “When the soup is done, send it directly to room 706. For the sake of such a great dish, you can keep one or two pieces of meat inside.”

The cooking maiden agreed with a smile, and she gave Su Yao several coy smiles for being such a generous man. He simply presented her with one to two uncontaminated meat, and on top of that, the meaty soup contained a piece of Level 1 beast bone that was being stewed.

“The meat has absorbed the meaty flavor of the soup, so it will be delicious. I wonder if he got the hints from my eyes?”

The cooking maiden’s heart almost popped out as her thoughts were racing through her mind. However, Su Yao had already turned around and left.

Standing in front of room 706, Su Yao was delighted. He was savoring the soup he had earlier and was thinking about whether or not to knock on the pretty cooking maiden’s door tonight.

When the door was pushed open and he saw the figure of a slim teenager by the window, Su Yao’s face turned gloomy once more.

He closed the door, walked into the room and held the teenager by the window up. He stared at the pale young face with his squinted eyes.

“It’s almost a whole day since you woke up. Are you planning to stand in front of the window forever? Are you not going to react to my words forever? My patience is wearing thin.”
