Chapter 147: The Zombie Emperor

“Pata”.

A gray-white nuclei fell to the ground, rolled twice on the ground, and then stopped.

Along with it, a few off white crystals were laying scattered in the dust.

Xie Shili opened his eyes.

He slowly stretched out his hand, and cluster of scorching flames suddenly rose from his palm. The surrounding air was slightly distorted by the high temperature, and then, a light icy blue colour spread from the root of the flame bit by bit, with crackling sound of freezing ice.

Under the ice, the fire was still flickering.

The scorching hot crimson and cold ice blue intertwined, interdependent and symbiotic under almost inhuman level of control, existing in harmony and with strange beauty.

The dancing flames were reflecting on the round surface of nuclei on the ground and the icy flames dispelled the darkness of sunset, giving it a deadly beauty.

They were still at the city center

Under the dim twilight of the open sky, the fiery red was even more distinct.

Without Ge Xiu’s aura exerting suppression, some zombies have showed their heads. They wandered here attracted by the light and heat, their dim pupils reflecting a greedy gleam, roars and growls came from their throats as they staggered towards the direction of the fire.

The black rush of zombies gathered again.

Xie Shili quietly watched the crowd of corpses approaching, his black eyes reflected the cold burning fire, which was as hot and dangerous as afterflames of a fireplace.

He moved his fingertips imperceptibly.

In the next second, there was a booming explosion, violent flames soared into the sky, and instantly blazing fire set on the nearest zombie.

With just a little spark that splashed on the ragged and dirty clothes, a monstrous fire grew in seconds.

One after the other, the flames burned rapidly.

The rotting body under the clothes became the best fuel and firewood for the flames. The flames devoured and purified everything, instantly spreading through the entire block. The fire flames licked the gradually dimming night, and greedily pulled one corpse after another into blazing inferno.

Like karmic fire, it ignited whole bodies on fire in a instant, the flames were roaring and rising into storming waves in the night.

The roars of zombies came from crackling fire, black charred bones were still licked by flames, like a scene from hell.

Even the black sky was dyed reddish.

In the next second, the flames suddenly extinguished.

The crackling sound of the burning fire disappeared instantly, and the whole block returned to darkness and silence. The bodies of zombies burned black by flames crashed down, the bodies scorched by the high temperature instantly crumbled into several pieces, but among them there were glimmering pieces.

——One by one, crystal cores revealed itselves.

All the zombies burned whole, only the crystals in their heads remained intact.

Such terrifying accuracy and control over abilities were the peak among the strongest of abilities.

Xie Shili’s eyes were pitch black, and the flames in his eyes had slowly extinguished, leaving only the boundless dark abyss.

He raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

The air was filled with the smell of the fire, slightly blown away by the wind, flinging up ashes on the ground and rolling them over to Xie Shili’s feet.

He could feel that his ability had not only fully recovered to its previous peak level, but had also improved to astonishing level —this was the feeling of being completely reborn, like rebirth.

And all of this was due to that strange high-level zombie.

Xie Shili took a deep breath, turned his head and looked behind him: “Thank…”

However, before he could finish speaking, a body slammed into him, and the ensuing impact made Xie Shili swallow back the words, he involuntarily took half a step back, raised his hand to support the young man who had fallen into his arms and barely managed to stabilize his figure.

The young man wrapped himself tightly around his body like an octopus, and then bit Xie Shili’s neck.

He didn’t really bite, just took took his shoulder into his mouth, gnawing on it like a teething stick.

Xie Shili: “…”

At first unaccustomed, but second try familiar.

He sighed, instead of pushing away like before, he raised his hands to support the other’s shoulders, preventing him from slipping off his body.

“Do you still want to change clothes?”

The furry head buried on his shoulder and neck moved up and down, as if nodding.

——In this process, he didn’t let go of his bite in the slightest.

Xie Shili put one arm around the young man’s waist and stretched out his long legs, walking back towards the mall.

Number One, Two, Three and Four stared blankly at the figures of the two people gradually shrinking, and finally disappeared at the door of the shopping mall.

The four zombies looked at each other blankly.

Number One: Woo aooh aooh (Whoa, what’s Boss doing? Are we going to have number five?)

Number Two: Woo ahh (unlikely)

Number Three: Woo ahh arrgh aoo aoo (I don’t think we’ll ever have number five)

Number four: Woo woo woo ahh (are you hungry?)

Number One, Two, Three, Four: Arrgh (hungry.)

Inside the store.

Xie Shili realized for the first time that changing zombie’s clothes was more difficult than killing a zombie.

——Especially when the other was constantly trying to pounce on him, to grab his shoulder to grind teeth on.

But, it was also completely impossible for him to change his clothes when the two of them were close together.

A layer of hot sweat soon broke out on Xie Shili’s forehead.

Desperately tearing Ge Xiu off himself again, he stretched out his hand to hold Ge Xiu’s shoulder, and subconsciously raised his voice: “Don’t—!”

The young man looked back at him blankly, his expressionless face inexplicable had a feeling of confusion.

He paid.

His hair was messy, his clothes were only half worn on his body, and half of his pale arms and slender waist were exposed in the air, as he looked up at him with an innocent and puzzled expression.

Xie Shili’s heart softened, and he let go of his hand—— so the other rushed forward again.

Then he opened his mouth and bit the same place.

“…”

Xie Shili sighed wearily.

…Forget it, what else can he do other than be patient.

Finally, half an hour later,

Xie Shili walked out of the store holding Ge Xiu who had already changed his clothes. The other was still glued to the same place on his shoulder, the small piece of skin hurt a little from being bitten. It was wet thoroughly with saliva, making it feel a little chilly when the wind blew.

Number One to Four had already diligently collected the crystals from the entire place and put them in their backpacks.

Ge Xiu was hungry again.

He finally let go of the reddened piece of skin that he had gnawed on, and then jumped off Xie Shili’s body, held onto one of the backpacks, took out a nuclei and wanted to stuff it into his mouth.

Xie Shili frowned.

He said: “Wait.”

Ge Xiu paused, he thought for a while, yes, it seems that these crystals were indeed not his own.

He reluctantly put down the nuclei in his hand.

Xie Shili squatted down and took out the water he had just taken from the mall from his backpack, unscrewed the bottle cap, washed away the burnt flesh and brain matter left on the spar, and handed it back to Ge Xiu:

“It’s ok now.”

Ge Xiu gave him a blank look, and then stuffed the nuclei into his mouth.

Crunch munch.

Immediately afterwards, four sidekicks rushed one by one and ate one after the other, with clear tacit understanding and a fixed procedure.

Soon, a whole bag of crystals was bottomed out.

Ge Xiu stopped eating suddenly.

Xie Shili noticed that the other had halted and turned his head to look at the zombie beside him, raised his eyebrows and asked:

“Are you full?”

Ge Xiu lowered his head and glanced at the thin layer of crystals that was left—

Ah, that’s all there was left.

Once he calculated it like this, it seems that he suddenly owed something to the other party.

Soon, he thought of a good way.

Ge Xiu tilted his head expressionlessly, and pointed to his neck peeking from the collar.

—Try mine too?
