Chapter 42: Sudden Attack

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_

Xie Dong merely glanced at him before concluding that he was the one with the space power. He recalled from before and realized that Huang Xiao and the others had always been protecting this man, intentionally or not. He never noticed anything abnormal at that time, and just thought that they were close.

Now, as he rethought everything, he figured out that it was actually because those few people had known about this man’s space power since long ago.

This man drew back to a corner, intending to avoid the battlezone created by Xie Dong and Huang Xiao.

However, right at this moment, he saw something flash across the air with the corner of his eye. He turned his head to see a figure flash into the window behind Huang Xiao. It reached behind Huang Xiao’s back within a blink while completely ignoring the wild wind around his body, then directly reached out a hand and inserted its sharp claws into the back of Huang Xiao’s head.

This figure then nimbly waved its arm, sending Huang Xiao flying out along with his wind without even letting him moan in pain. With that, half of his skull remained in this creature’s hand.

The space-powered man widely opened his eyes and watched this unexpected scene. Meanwhile, he clearly saw this figure which shot in through the window, and found that it was a female zombie.

Right after the female zombie threw Huang Xiao out, the space-powered man raised his gun and fired at her almost reflexively. But, the zombie caught the bullet with her palm by merely clenching her fingers.

Seeing this, the space-powered man was dumbfounded. And before he realized what happened, the zombie moved again.

It flashed across the air and disappeared; but in the following half a second, it appeared right next to him and grasped his arm with a claw. Next, he felt that he was flying in the air with his eyes dazzled.

When he came back to himself, the scenery before his eyes had changed.

He was standing by a small lake.

After that, he felt his arm being loosened, and then noticed that a zombie was standing by his side!

He subconsciously drew back and raised his gun. However, a hand suddenly gripped his gun before he fired. Then, the gun was gone as he felt his hands being shaken!

He immediately turned his head toward the hand, and saw Xie Dong standing a meter away from him, holding his gun and swinging it in circles.

“Xie Dong! What are you doing! Why don’t you deal with this zombie? Why did you seize my gun?” The space-powered man blew a fuse once he found out that Xie Dong was the one who had taken away his gun.

He believed that even though internal contradictions now existed between them, he and Xie Dong should still fight against the female zombie together. After all, when facing a zombie, people should always deal with it first and only then settle their internal problems.

This had gradually become a rule since the post-apocalyptic era started. As for things like Huang Xiao sending his teammate into zombies’ mouths, it could only be explained as the most common dark stuff in this post-apocalyptic world. Of course, this kind of thing was an exception.

This space-powered man just hadn’t gotten a clear understanding of his situation yet. He subconsciously wanted Xie Dong’s protection like before once he encountered a danger, but forgot about the fact that he had betrayed Xie Dong not long ago, and that he had joined hands with the others to push him into a crowd of zombies.

Hearing his words, Xie Dong said nothing but coldly turned up his mouth corners, standing where he was while looking at him with a sneer.

Seeing the sneer on Xie Dong’s face, the space-powered man finally recalled that he had betrayed Xie Dong earlier on, and paused shortly.

So, no one would protect him now! He was just a space-powered man, and before the old world ended, he was no more than an office worker; he was never a strong fighter. He managed to survive in this post-apocalyptic world only by relying on others’ protection. Fortunately, he activated the highly useful space power later on, and that earned him the protection of Huang Xiao and his people.

However, Huang Xiao died seconds ago, so he had fallen into a situation with no protector by now.

At this moment, Lin Qiao threw a crystal piece which was in her hand to Xie Dong. When Xie Dong caught it, she flashed before the space-powered man’s face and gripped his throat.

“Eh… Eh… Aw…” As his throat was squeezed, the space-powered man was immediately disabled from breathing, and instantly realized what was happening. Once he saw the pair of black eyes staring straight at him, he began shaking right away because of fear, even forgetting to struggle. His entire face was reddened while he couldn’t breathe, his eyes filled with despair and fright when looking at Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao gazed into his eyes, clearly sensing his thoughts.

‘I-I-I’m gonna die… I’m gonna be eaten by this zombie… She’ll bite off my face… My stomach will be ripped open, and my heart and guts will be dug out to be eaten… This is so terrible… This is just so terrifying…’

Reading this man’s mind, Lin Qiao was amused. This man had been giving himself scary thoughts. She had no intention to do anything to him, yet he had been making himself picture these horrible scenes. He was scaring himself to death, wasn’t he?

At this point, she picked up a small piece of paper, with one single word written on it.

‘Space.’

Next, she put the piece of paper before the space-powered man’s eyes for him to read. She planned to make him hand out everything in his space and then let him go.

But as a result, when this man, who was under fear and panic, suddenly saw the word ‘space’, Lin Qiao immediately sensed the energy nucleus in his head, which seemed to have an opening in it.

Unexpectedly, she directly saw everything inside that energy nucleus.

‘En? Eh? Damn! What is going on?’

Lin Qiao was dumbfounded right now, having no idea why this would happen. How could she possibly see inside another person’s space? Wasn’t the owner of a space the only one who was able to peer inside it?

She closed her eyes shortly with confusion, feeling that the opening of the space-powered man’s space had grown larger after she did. The enlarged opening allowed her to see more clearly than before, but when she reopened her eyes, the opening began shrinking.

She then looked at this space-powered man’s face and found that he was already showing the whites of his eyes, seeming to have fainted.

Seeing this, Lin Qiao was left a little speechless.

She really hadn’t done this on purpose!

In the next instant, she relaxed her grip in shock, then watched the space-powered man fell softly to the ground. Meanwhile, she felt that the opening of his space had been closed.

She turned her head confusedly and glanced at Xie Dong, finding him looking at her also with confusion.

However, Xie Dong had more puzzles in his eyes.

Why did Lin Qiao suddenly rush into the room and kill Huang Xiao? Didn’t she say that she would let him take revenge for himself? And why did she bring him and this space-powered man inside her space? What had she done to him? Was this man scared senseless by her?

These sudden changes weren’t in conformance with what she had told him earlier, causing him to feel seriously perplexed.

After looking into his eyes and learning his thoughts, Lin Qiao took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote down a sentence.

‘Level-five zombie showed up outside.’

This single sentence explained the sudden move that she made just now.

Outside her space, a figure swiftly leaped over from a distance like a fierce beast right after Lin Qiao dragged the two inside.
