Apocalypse — Chapter 93: Warning! B-rank Zombie!

Lan Siruo glared at the zombies surrounding her and bared a pair of small, gleaming fangs.

She raised her hands and tried to look fierce.

Her claws resembled Wolverine’s from the movies before the apocalypse. They could retract and were razor-sharp.

Yet no matter how Xiao Yi looked at her, he found her pose cute rather than threatening.

A C-rank Agility-Type Zombie roared and lunged at Lan Siruo.

The others swarmed her from every direction.

Just as the injured Lan Siruo was about to disappear beneath the horde, a figure dropped from the sky.

A flaming, long-handled modao swept through the crowd. In an instant, four or five C-rank Agility-Type Zombies were cut down.

Before this man’s blade, the C-rank zombies had no chance to resist.

Xiao Yi’s appearance immediately put the spider zombie on guard.

The C-rank zombies under its command also halted their attacks.

“Hello, Lan Siruo.” Xiao Yi turned toward her and greeted her with a smile.

Lan Siruo cocked her head and stared at him. The hostility in her eyes abruptly softened.

But confusion and pain soon spread across her face.

She seemed to be struggling desperately to remember something, yet nothing came back to her.

All she knew was that the man before her felt familiar. She instinctively wanted to be close to him.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Yi remembered Keke’s condition and shook his head helplessly.

“It seems she’s the same as Keke. Becoming a mutant damaged her mind, and she has probably lost her old memories.”

“But that might be even better. It’ll make her easier to control.”

After muttering to himself, Xiao Yi turned toward the spider zombie.

He had never encountered anything like it.

Its entire body was assembled from severed zombie limbs, as though numerous zombies had been cut apart and reassembled into one monstrous humanoid spider.

It was both grotesque and revolting.

【Beep, beep, beep... B-rank Spider-Type Zombie detected...】

【Warning: This zombie possesses extremely powerful physical defenses!】

【Warning: This zombie specializes in mental attacks. Creatures with a Spirit attribute below 80 cannot withstand them!】

【Warning: This zombie can command other zombies!】

The System’s warnings made Xiao Yi’s heart leap.

His luck was incredible.

He had actually found a B-rank zombie!

A B-rank zombie was the key to breaking through the limits of the human body.

If Xiao Yi killed and buried it, his physical attributes would surpass humanity’s natural shackles.

He would become a transcendent human and obtain a transcendent skill.

The temptation was irresistible.

What mattered most in the apocalypse?

Power, of course.

Before absolute power, everything else was meaningless.

But as Xiao Yi stared at the red warnings, his expression gradually became solemn.

He was powerful, but his opponent was a B-rank zombie specializing in mental attacks.

His Spirit attribute was only 85.

The mental attack would not break him outright, but it could easily interfere with him.

Xiao Yi could not be certain he was a match for this B-rank Spider-Type Zombie.

As Xiao Yi studied it warily, the creature was also observing him.

It sensed the threat he posed.

“Hiss!”

A hideous shriek erupted from one of the creature’s enormous mouths.

A visible sonic wave surged toward Xiao Yi.

His vision blurred, and he nearly lost his footing. A faint but unmistakable dizziness filled his skull.

Lan Siruo, hiding behind him, fared even worse. Under the immense mental pressure, she could barely remain standing.

While Xiao Yi was disoriented, the C-rank Agility-Type Zombies waiting around him charged at tremendous speed.

The ordinary zombies nearby also began converging on the area in response to the shriek.

This was the power of a B-rank mental-type zombie.

It could disrupt even Xiao Yi.

A Spirit attribute of 85 already placed him among humanity’s elite, and his Constitution was equally formidable.

Yet the psychic sonic wave still affected him.

Xiao Yi forced down the dizziness and swung the Blade of Sin, driving back the C-rank zombies closing in on him.

But his movements had become noticeably slower.

Attacks came from every direction. The zombies fought with their usual suicidal ferocity, heedless of their own lives.

Several wounds opened across Xiao Yi’s body.

Blood ran from them and dripped onto the Blade of Sin.

Rage filled Xiao Yi’s eyes, gradually turning them a terrifying shade of crimson.

This was the first time a zombie had injured him since he obtained the System.

It enraged him completely.

“HRAAAAGH!”

Xiao Yi unleashed several savage slashes, cutting down the zombies around him in swaths.

At last, the flames surrounding the Blade of Sin erupted.

From the blade to the hilt, the entire weapon turned blood-red.

Even Xiao Yi’s body ignited with raging crimson fire.

His blood-red gaze locked onto the B-rank Spider-Type Zombie.

His figure suddenly blurred into an afterimage.

Then he sprang into the air.

“SANCTION! OF! SIN!”

The crimson flames on the Blade of Sin exploded, and the weapon crashed toward the B-rank Spider-Type Zombie with overwhelming force.

【Sanction of Sin: Unleashes a wide-range soul attack that ignores all physical defenses.】

The B-rank zombie opened its enormous mouths and released a deafening howl.

Another visible sonic wave burst forth.

Shhk!

The wave was torn apart instantly.

The Blade of Sin came crashing down.

All three of the creature’s heads exploded at once.

Its body was cleaved in two by a single strike.

Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!

The sound of bursting skulls rang out like firecrackers.

Within the area engulfed by crimson fire, zombie heads exploded one after another.

Their bodies collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Yi landed lightly and drew a deep breath.

The crimson flames surrounding him slowly faded.

The fire on the Blade of Sin returned to blue.

With a single strike, every zombie within fifty meters had fallen with its head blown apart.

Not even the B-rank Spider-Type Zombie could withstand such a devastating attack.

Xiao Yi closed his eyes and rested for a moment. Then he placed the B-rank zombie’s corpse inside his Spatial Pouch.

He stored the remaining C-rank corpses one by one as well.

The harvest had been enormous.

In addition to the B-rank Spider-Type Zombie, he had obtained more than thirty C-rank corpses in one sweep.

When he was done, Xiao Yi turned toward the catgirl curled up in the corner.

Lan Siruo had lost consciousness. She lay there like a sleeping cat, her body tucked tightly against the wall.

When Xiao Yi unleashed Sanction of Sin, she had instinctively darted backward.

That single retreat had saved her life.

Sanction of Sin did not distinguish between friend and foe.

Anything within its range was struck without exception.

Yet even at the edge of the attack, the force that brushed Lan Siruo had been more than she could endure.

Xiao Yi walked over, bent down, and lifted her into his arms.

She was light and soft, like carrying a large cat.

He studied her face carefully.

Apart from the pair of feline ears, she had barely changed.

She was still as beautiful as ever.

If anything, the cat ears made her appear even more charming and adorable.

They gave her beauty an entirely new allure.
