Chapter 500: Chapter 497 Assimilation Infection _1

The remaining five motorcycles of the Flying Tigers gang slowly passed by Tang Ye, hoping against hope that he would stay motionless. For God’s sake, don’t move!

Anyone who could catch bullets had to be a Level 4 New Human or above. This couldn’t possibly be human anymore; they should be called monsters!

Ideals are plump, but reality is skinny. They wished Tang Ye wouldn’t move, but he did, and he didn’t hold back!

Bang!

With a kick, he hit a motorcycle. The rider and the vehicle were smashed into the barrier as if hit by a high-speed train. The steel-made barrier twisted like plastic and then broke.

Boom!

The motorcycle finally exploded into pieces as it crashed onto a cement slope, unable to withstand Tang Ye’s explosive force. The flames resembled a beautiful phoenix soaring up into the sky and then dispersing. As for the people on the vehicle, they were all reduced to ashes!

Seeing this, the riders behind began to tremble. One of them, whose hands were shaking uncontrollably, swayed his vehicle and finally fell, sliding a long way before hitting a guardrail. The unlucky individuals moaned in agony, the intense pain prompting them to touch the badly scuffed backs.

They turned their bodies only to collide with another comrade. They grabbed the person behind them, and with their smoking motorcycle, rolled over the guardrail into the valley below.

Each of the other three motorcycles was chopped into pieces one after the other by an enraged Tang Ye using his flesh and blood knife. Everyone watched, their mouths agape, and were unable to snap back to reality for a long time.

"This... This is a monster?"

They all began to doubt whether Tang Ye was human. A Level 3 New Human’s strength was something they could accept, but catching bullets barehanded and chopping motorcycles with a blade? Wasn’t this a bit too much?

At this moment, they felt as if they had crossed into another world. Catching bullets barehanded!!

They had only seen such things on TV. Now, it was happening right before their eyes?

"What are you gawking at? We should be going."

Upon glancing at Nannan and noticing she was unscathed, Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Qiongli’s heart, too, dropped from her throat. If it hadn’t been for him, Nannan and Bai Xinran would be dead.

"Thank you."

Qiongli’s initial disdain for Tang Ye eased somewhat. While she still found him revolting, compared to Brother Zhang, Tang Ye was far better!

This interim incident passed, and people returned to their cars feeling reassured. But they did not notice the strange transformation taking hold of one of Tang Ye’s wounded bodies. From within the valley, a man staggered to his feet, glanced at the comrade’s corpses pinned underneath him, picked up a phone from one of them, and spoke into it while walking away: "Brother Tong, many people are heading your way... they should have lots of stuff with them... We ran into some trouble, I am the only one alive now... There is a strong one among them... must be a Level 4 New Human... Ah!"

He struggled, squatting down by a big tree. The burning sensation in his back prohibited him from breathing, but when he was about to speak again, a silvery figure suddenly jumped in front of him.

This was a strange creature with skin that shone like silver. It had a human-like body, but its feet were replaced with fleshy buds that looked like they were chopped off and regrown — not human feet, but silvery tentacles intertwined to form stubs!

Its eyes were black, with no whites. The eyes seemed embedded with a blood-red pearl, utterly disturbing. The emanating decay stench confirmed that it was a zombie!

He was startled, having never seen such a peculiar zombie. Weren’t zombie eyes always all white? Why were its eyes like this?

But he didn’t have time to think. Realising it was a zombie, he immediately took out his gun and aimed it. However, a shower of bullets only resulted in sparks flying from its skin!

"What!" The gang member was filled with horror.

Hehe~

With a low growl, the strange silver entity turned into a speed as swift as a Level 1 speed-evolution zombie. It advanced towards him, lifted him up and bit off a huge chunk of his flesh!

Ahh!

The scream echoed throughout the valley. His phone fell to the ground, a voice emerged from it, "What happened? Say something!"

But the next second, the zombie stepped on the phone, shattering it. There were no more cries from the other end.

...

"If we keep travelling, there’s no way to find food. Apart from getting into the city, all the fuel stations and service areas are likely to have been traumatised by the Flying Tigers."

"So what should we do? The mysterious person drove away the zombies in Lin City, but what about Mingzhen City or the other towns?"

"There is no choice. Here if we do not encounter the Flying Tigers, we are safe, but we will starve to death, if we enter the cities, we will face danger, and die sooner!"

"There’s only one solution: to rob! If we do not take action, our fate will be death! It’s better to take a risk!"

"You mean..."

"Yes! To rob the Flying Tigers’ goods!"

"But they have guns!"

"What is there to fear, we have nothing to lose. We’ll die either way. What if we succeed?"

"Moreover, I’ve heard that the Flying Tigers have a vast amount of food. If we succeed, who needs sanctuary? We could just live there for the rest of our lives!"

The composed middle-aged man said this to the others, a look of longing flickering in his eyes as he mentioned the enormous quantity of food.

"That’s a pipe dream!" scoffed Brother Zhang.

"The Flying Tigers are far from simple. Even if we had all hands on deck, we still wouldn’t stand a chance at overthrowing them around here. Not to mention, we don’t even have one gun among us. If I’m not wrong, the gang on this road is a single faction led by two brothers."

"How do you know?" The man looked doubtfully at Zhang.

"I used to be a member of the Flying Tigers, but on the other route. The names of the bosses here spread to our region two years ago. Their names are Chen Zhou’an and Chen Zhouquan. If they are still alive, Chen Zhou’an should already be a Level 4 New Human now..."

"Level 4? How could that be possible?"

"That guy is obsessed with evolution. Whether that’s true or not, I don’t know. If he really is a Level 4, then assisting him may prove difficult. Moreover, if we actually rob the Tigers, it would spark a total retaliation. If it comes to murder, we’d have to kill everyone at their base! Could you... bring yourselves to do that?"
