Chapter 79 My Man Is So Cool
“This is…”
“It is an energy crystal, by absorbing it, you can awaken your special power.” Hikaru said.
Laylah was a little surprised to hear that: “Oh! So… why don’t you use it.”
Hikaru shrugged: “I gave you for a reason, so don’t worry about it. If you don’t like it, you can give it back to me.”
“Huh!” Laylah immediately put the stone in her pocket: “Did you know that if a man gives a gemstone to a woman, it is the same as a marriage proposal?”
Hikaru : ( ) _ _ _
“You think too much, I am helping you because…”
“Ah! I understand! You don’t have to say it.” Laylah smiled mysteriously.
Hikaru also didn’t want to hang around with her for long, he had work to do in the city.
He waved his hand, and the body of the Zombie disappeared before everyone’s eyes like a magic trick.
Everyone was startled, but they dared not ask any more questions. After all, everyone had their own secret. If it made Hikaru uncomfortable, they were afraid that they would end up like the zombie.
Hikaru took the body because he saw a mark hovering over the corpse of the zombie he had just killed.
That symbol showed numbers 15 and 42. He didn’t know what the symbol meant, but he knew it was the symbol for the function “Fusing Space”.
Then, Hikaru turned to leave.
“Where are you going?”
Hearing Laylah’s question, Hikaru stood up, carried the ax on his shoulder, and looked towards the city: ” I am going shopping.”
Delmor was dumbfounded hearing that. However, seeing how Hikaru easily killed the zombie, he could only sigh.
That’s right, with Hikaru’s current strength, even if he faced a hoard of zombies, he would easily survive.
Laylah suddenly said: “Behind that fire there are more than 2,000 Zombies, although you can kill that weird zombie, you can’t face all the 2,000 zombies.”
“2,000 zombies?” Hikaru frowned, he sensed something was wrong: “You mean… behind this fire 2,000 zombies gathered to attack you?”
“That’s right.” Laylah nodded: “Anyway, you just proposed to me, even though I haven’t agreed, I don’t want you to be in danger either.”
Hikaru didn’t feel happy either, he knew Laylah was just joking.
He shook his head and moved toward the fire in front of him, when suddenly, Delmor said, “Wait! Hikaru, you can’t make it through that fire.”
Hikaru stopped, looked at Delmor, then swung his ax, slashing a streak of light towards the fire.
BAM!
The trail of light instantly split a car in half in the middle of the road.
The attack was so strong that it created a gust of wind that blew the flames apart, and revealed a small path.
The same gust of wind also blew towards Delmor and Laylah causing them to shield themselves with both of their hands, Rina sat on the ground defenseless so she was blown away, and she rolled several times on the ground.
The storm passed, and Delmor was stunned because the oil tanker was cut in two like a cake.
Apart from that, the fire split revealing a small passage.
Hikaru now turned his head to look at Delmor and said in a very calm voice: “What did you just say?”
Delmor: “…”
Do you really need to slap my face to this extent?
Delmor wanted to speak, but he knew that if he did, he didn’t know if Hikaru would cut his head off like he just did with the monstrous zombie.
Delmor hastily shook his head: “No… I didn’t say anything… you… you misheard.”
Hikaru smiled and nodded, then headed towards the city with the ax on his shoulder.
Suddenly, he stopped walking and turned his head. Behind him, only about 3 feet away from him, Laylah, who was smiling mysteriously, was following behind.
“Why are you… following me?”
“Heh?! I was worried about you so I am following you to protect you.”
Hearing that, Hikaru shook his head: “I don’t need it, it would be better for you and the others to find a safe place to hide.”
“Hide? Is there a safer place than your home? You should remember, you agreed to let me stay at your house. Even Velys promised to prepare a room for me.”
Hearing that, Hikaru sighed and said, “It’s up to you. However, if you come, I will just leave you alone in my mansion, other people are not allowed inside.”
“You’re so stingy!”
“Yes, I am a stingy person, I am not only stingy, I am also very greedy, especially with beautiful girls like you.”
Hikaru said while smiling, his smile was like that of a predator that was looking at their prey.
“Ah! It’s scary…” Laylah pretended to cover her chest with both hands, then smiled: “So… when do you plan to ‘eat’ me?”
Hikaru: “…”
He seemed to underestimate Laylah’s line of shame.
Suddenly, Laylah took off the second button of her shirt, revealing a corner of two huge mountains, her skin as white as snow, with a little sweat on top that made it even more sexy.
“What?! Would you like to enjoy this meal?” Laylah said while smiling mysteriously.
Hikaru seemed to be mesmerized, but then he shook his head and said, “nope, Velys is much prettier than you.”
Laylah knew that Hikaru was just teasing her, but no girl felt good when compared to another girl, especially in terms of beauty.
Laylah pouted and said, “Yes… your Velys is the best, your Velys is the best.”
As Delmor saw Laylah and Hikaru talking, he forgot that this was the end of the world, and that there were zombies everywhere.
The two of them didn’t seem to be afraid or feel that the world was ending.
At this point, Delmor realized that when someone possesses absolute power, no matter how much the world changes, it won’t matter.
Hikaru shook his head, he didn’t want to pay attention to Laylah anymore, so he continued walking.
“Behind that fire there are more than 2,000 Zombies, do you still want to go?”
Hikaru didn’t answer Laylah, he just kept walking, Laylah also continued to follow him. 𝘦.𝘰𝘳𝑔
Akiko and Delmor stood at a distance, and looked at each other.
“You… Do you want to follow them?”
Hearing Delmor’s question, Akiko shook her head: “I’d love to follow them, however, I’ll only cause more trouble for them.”
Delmor nodded at that: “So… Do you want to follow me? We can find a safe place, and establish a base for survivors.”
“Um… that’s fine.”
Delmor nodded, then took off his jacket and walked over to the zombie that was killed by Hikaru.
When Hikaru killed this bizarre Zombie, “The Apocalypse Encyclopedia” informed him that this Zombie’s top layer was the material for making armor.
Because of that, he put the head that had been cut in two by Hikaru into his coat, then wrapped it carefully.
“What do you want to use its head for?”
Hearing Akiko’s question, Delmor smiled and said, “I just want to do some research. After all, its skin is very hard, if we can use its skin as armor, we don’t need to worry about being attacked by Zombies anymore.”
In fact, Delmor wanted to take the entire body of this Zombie, however, Hikaru took the body, leaving only the head.
Delmor also dared not ask for the body of that Zombie from Hikaru.
…
Hikaru walked past the fire and frowned at the scene in front of him. This place was like hell, fire was burning everywhere, normal people were trying to run away from zombies but all their efforts were useless.
Zombies were everywhere, they were numerous, like a swarm of ants.
Laylah also frowned at the sight, but she had spent two days in this hell, her mind had also gradually adjusted to the current world.
“If you run away now, there’s still time, if you decide to stay here, I can’t guarantee your safety.”
“Ahh! Are you concerned about my safety?”
“If you turn into a zombie, you’ll be ugly, I don’t like ugly women.”
“Huh! Don’t worry, I won’t bother you because…” Laylah said and as she stretched out her hand, a miniature tornado appeared on it.
Hikaru saw what appeared in Laylah’s hand and frowned, “Since when?”
“Since you gave me the stone in that particular zombie’s head.”
Hearing Laylah’s reply, Hikaru didn’t feel too surprised. She was the main character anyway, so her easy power awakening was understandable.
It’s just… Hikaru felt a little disappointed. He thought that Laylah would awaken space powers or some kind of badass superpower.
It was just the wind element… which was much weaker than Velys element.
Laylah saw Hikaru’s slightly disdainful gaze and pouted, she then threw out the miniature tornado in her hand.
The whirlwind turned into countless sharp winds similar to his “Light Split” skill.
Tsk! Tsk!
Countless sounds of things being cut rang out. Hikaru saw that at least about 10 Zombies had been slashed by the sharp winds like knives, the cuts were deep enough to touch their bones.
However, it was not as sharp as Hikaru’s “Light Split”, which could cut human bones easily.
But Laylah had only just awakened her superpower, and her power was already so powerful, if given time to develop, he was afraid her strength would be even more terrible.
“Then… you take care of yourself.”
After saying that, Hikaru kicked a nearby car.
BAM!
His kick was so strong that the car was dented and pushed a distance of more than 3 meters before it flipped over.
The zombies immediately stopped what they were doing, and focused their attention on the source of the sound.
Right after that, like hungry wolves, they rushed towards Hikaru.
“Inside those Zombies there are a few survivors, you…”
Hikaru heard Laylah’s words and shook his head: “It doesn’t matter to me whether they are alive or dead, if they get in my way, they must die too.”
That’s right, he was not the main character, he didn’t need to worry about those people.
That is the main character’s job, his job was to destroy these Zombies and get as many energy crystals as possible.
Right after that, he charged at the zombies with an ax, Laylah who was in the back could only sigh.
Hikaru leapt forward, and swung his ax, a flash of light flashed at the head of a group of zombies, knocking them to the ground.
Hikaru also didn’t need to stop to collect energy crystals, as that was solved by the “Auto pick up” skill.
Laylah stood in the distance, and stared at Hikaru with eyes full of admiration.
A Zombie suddenly rushed towards her, Laylah didn’t even look at it, she just gently waved her hand, and a blast of wind appeared and turned into countless slashes that went towards that Zombie, turning it into a bunch of shredded meat that fell on the ground.
“Ah! My man is so cool…”
