I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1043 - 1039: Transformations 4

Chapter 1043: Chapter 1039: Transformations 4

The environment inside the shelter was exposed to Lin Jie’s eyes as the steel door opened, revealing a long corridor leading to an unknown destination. The recessed lights on the ceiling emitted a dim glow, and right before him, a man was stuffing a card into his chest pocket and then looked up at Sun Wen with a smile, extending a hand.

"Welcome home."

"Hahaha~"

The two embraced and joked around for a bit, and it was clear that Sun Wen had a good relationship with this man.

After releasing each other, the man’s gaze shifted to Lin Jie, pointing at him with a questioning look to Sun Wen, "Who is he?"

"Oh, he’s from the surface, the first survivor we’ve found from up there to date," Sun Wen said with a smile, but he quickly realized that the man kept staring at Lin Jie, his eyes slightly narrowed, measuring him up.

"Hey, Old Guo, don’t worry, he’s just an ordinary person, there’s no danger."

Sun Wen’s words went in one ear and out the other for the man known as Old Guo. Unlike Sun Wen, who bought his way in with money, Old Guo had been part of the defense force before the Apocalypse, and he had even fought in a peacekeeping war on the Flame Sand Continent. A man who survived the battlefield, clawing his way out from piles of corpses, was no ordinary person—his perception of danger was razor-sharp.

As for Sun Wen, a wealthy man who spent his days in an office, he had grown a bit portly and had never seen a dead body before the Apocalypse. Inside the shelter, aside from a rebellion that erupted four years ago, resulting in a hundred or so fatalities, the rest of the time the shelter was very safe.

Sun Wen might not have been able to feel it, but Old Guo could sense an extremely dangerous aura emanating from Lin Jie!

Their gazes met. Compared to Old Guo’s tension, Lin Jie seemed very calm, showing not a trace of fear.

At that moment, the three soldiers accompanying Old Sun noticed something off about Lin Jie and hastily pointed their guns at his head.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Jie looked at them with a sinister smile, then with a sudden force, the handcuffs on his wrists snapped like they were made of paper. He then tore them off piece by piece right then and there.

His actions left the surrounding soldiers dumbfounded. In the shelter, of course, there were evolved strong humans who would misuse their personal strength, but this was only for a while. Soon enough, laws about this matter emerged, restricting the actions of the evolved. And for the means to control those who had evolved, the material used for restraints was no ordinary kind. Even those evolved humans couldn’t break free from handcuffs like the ones Lin Jie had snapped so effortlessly!

It was inconceivable!

What could this imply? If New Humans couldn’t break free from those cuffs, how could an ordinary person?

There was only one possibility—he was no ordinary person! They just hadn’t noticed. Sun Wen and the others failed to sense the New Human aura coming from Lin Jie, mistaking him for an ordinary person!

"Prepare for battle!" Sun Wen roared, and the few people in the elevator immediately jumped out, their weapons aimed squarely at Lin Jie’s head.

But Lin Jie was unfazed. The strongest in his eyes were merely Sun Wen and another man called Old Guo, both of whom were just Level 4 New Humans. But him? Level 7!

In Lin Jie’s eyes, the few people present were no different from ants. To deal with them, all he needed to do was lift his foot and bring it down, turning them into mush!

His gaze shifted toward the "extractors" held in the hands of Sun Wen and his group, and Lin Jie let out a strange laugh. His smile, as it took shape on his face, gave off an eerie sense of helplessness and despair.

"Since you guys like this thing so much, how about I generously offer it to you?"

As he spoke, Lin Jie began to loosen his muscles, and Sun Wen and his companions immediately tensed up.

"What are you doing? Stay there! Don’t move, or don’t blame us for being merciless!"

"Oh, really?"

With a cold laugh, a surge of energy rolled towards them like a giant wave in the ocean, in the face of which they felt like tiny boats struggling to advance on the raging sea, ready to be submerged at any moment!

[Warning! Warning! An intruder has entered the shelter, all combat personnel please rush to exit B1 immediately!]

[Warning! Warning! An intruder has entered the shelter...]

Old Guo had just activated the alarm, and before he could even catch his breath, he saw Lin Jie’s figure flicker within the elevator and then vanish from the spot!

"Be careful!" Old Guo shouted, alerting everyone around him.

He too was afraid, feeling that this powerful presence was leagues apart from even the strongest in the base!

It must be a creature that has evolved more than six times! And the most any creature in the shelter had evolved was five times.

Just as Old Guo finished speaking, in the next second, Lin Jie appeared before him like a specter. Sun Wen in the front didn’t even have time to react before Lin Jie grabbed his neck and swept up to the ceiling with a "whoosh".

Bang!

A muffled sound followed. Old Guo still couldn’t see what had happened. Was Sun Wen dead? He could only see a large dent in the ceiling, with sand and stones spilling down continuously. Soon, a silhouette fell from behind him, and Old Guo quickly realized it was Sun Wen.

"Old Sun! Are you alright?"

Unable to see Lin Jie anymore, Old Guo knew he was no match for this adversary, and realized that any further effort would be in vain. His first priority was to check on Sun Wen.

Strangely enough, Sun Wen wasn’t dead, not even visibly injured, yet he was writhing in agony as if he’d been beaten all over, screaming in pain, his body convulsing non-stop.

"What’s wrong with you?" Old Guo asked anxiously, but Sun Wen had no strength left to reply, continuing to scream in pain.

"Ah! Ah! Ah my neck... something’s on the back of my neck, help me—help me take it off, it hurts so much!"

"What?" Old Guo was startled, but he quickly realized what was happening and turned Sun Wen’s body over. There, on the back of Sun Wen’s spine, was the "extraction" that they had taken from Lin Jie’s backpack!

Now, like a bug, this extraction had its four limbs pierced deeply into the flesh of Sun Wen’s neck, and the transparent glass-like body at the backend was rapidly filling with red liquid—Sun Wen’s blood, which was dyeing the bug’s belly red!
