Chapter 507: Chapter 504: So, I Have This Ability_1

"What kind of zombie is this?"

"Why aren’t its eyes white? And wasn’t the member of the roadster gang a New Human? How could he have turned into a zombie?"

"It looks like its defense is incredibly strong..."

People exclaimed, stepping back in shock. A few survivors who had picked up some guns when Tang Ye killed the roadster gang started shooting at the zombie.

"Move out of the way!"

Bang, bang, bang!

A series of bullets, which would have left a mark on any ordinary Level 3 zombie, ricocheted off this zombie’s silvery skin, making a metallic clanging sound.

Clang, clang, clang...

"Damn! It’s useless!"

Roar!!!

In response to the assault, the zombie roared in rage. It instantly blurred into a silver shadow, leaving a string of afterimages as it charged towards the nearest survivor.

"No!" The survivor screamed, rushing towards Bai Xinran. Seeing this Qiongli hurriedly ran over.

"Xinran, run!"

Bai Xinran was so scared that she had frozen. She had no idea when this zombie had appeared. The sight of the survivor rushing towards her sent her into a panic, wanting to move away, but she found herself unable to budge.

"Get out of the way!"

Qiongli moved with a speed comparable to that of the zombie. Just as it was about to reach the survivor, she managed to shove the survivor aside. However, the force of the shove left her shoulder numb, as if she had collided with a piece of steel!

Without bothering to check whether she was hurt, Qiongli saw the zombie staring at her with chilling eyes.

"Kill!"

With a shout, she swung her military dagger towards the zombie’s head. The zombie didn’t bother dodging and simply clenched a fist, using the most straightforward method to attack.

Snap!

Crack!

Bang!

A series of alarming sounds echoed. Qiongli stopped dead in her tracks. Everyone did. The seemingly sturdy military dagger broke into pieces when it hit the silvery-white skull of the zombie. Qiongli was in shock as she was thrown back several meters, as though hit by a train.

When she managed to push herself up, staring at the broken dagger in her hand, she was flooded with questions.

What level is this zombie? Initially, the zombie gave off the aura of a Level 3, but after having crossed swords with it, its astonishing defense led her to believe that even a Level 4 zombie wouldn’t stand a chance. Its strength also isn’t something a Level 3 zombie can contend with, it seemed almost double!

She’d fought with other Level 3 zombies and had a certain understanding of their abilities, but they definitely couldn’t compete with the one in front of her!

Hee, hee ...

After two low growls, the zombie, who had turned out to be Wang You, charged at Qiongli and looked set to kill her!

"No!"

Bai Xinran screamed in fear, fearing that Qiongli would die at the hands of the zombie, but Tang Ye was faster. He seemed to have teleported, placing himself between the zombie and the others.

Bang!

The head-on collision with Tang Ye pushed the zombie back a few steps. It saw Tang Ye and, in an instant, it retracted its aura, crouched slightly as if bowing its head to someone of high status.

Tang Ye felt strange too. After discovering this zombie he had infected, he felt like there were a few more "positions" in his mind. It was like along the way, he had infected more zombies, each giving him their blurry perspectives.

These perspectives did not belong to him, yet he was able to see through the eyes of several dozen infected zombies, mostly those he had infected during his fight with the roadster gang.

There was even a perspective granting him a view of himself. It clearly belonged to the infected zombie standing in front of him!

That meant the perspectives he got belonged to the zombies he had infected.

"So, I have this ability!"

Furthermore, he had a familiar feeling. Like when facing Ah Fu, if these infected zombies had any thoughts of betrayal, he could easily manipulate their thoughts, killing or torturing them to death.

Although the zombie in front of him was projecting feelings of reverence, Tang Ye didn’t reciprocate. An infected Level 2 New Human transforming into a zombie, that too a strange black-eyed, crimson-pupiled zombie unlike the standard white-eyed zombies, would make Qiongli and the others suspicious of him.

But for Nannan’s sake, he had to hide it. He only wanted to ensure Nannan was safe and looked after, ideally in a stable survivor base, with Qiongli taking care of her. Only then would he truly be able to let his guard down.

In a flash, Tang Ye released an immense surge of Level 6 New Human energy. With a swift and accurate swing of his blade, he beheaded the transformed zombie.

Thump, thump!

Watching the zombie’s head roll around on the ground, Tang Ye let out a sigh of relief. However, when he saw the heads of the crowd, he noticed their expressions seemed off.

His heart skipped a beat, but soon after, Qiongli yelled out, "Watch out, it’s not dead yet!"

Uh ...

"So that’s what it is..." Tang Ye initially thought they had grown suspicious of him, but after hearing Qiongli’s remark, he was stunned.

"It isn’t dead? How is that possible? This... Ah, crap!"

He suddenly realized that even without a head, he could survive, which meant the zombies he infected had inherited the same trait, right?

Turning around, he saw the zombie’s head slowly regrowing, the speed was slow but it clearly proved that the zombies Tang Ye infected no longer had the previous vulnerability of a headshot being fatal.

Qiongli and the others stared in disbelief.

Was this really a zombie? It could still live without its head? The unsettling thought that if these kind of zombies started appearing in large quantities arose among them. How could humans still hope to survive?

But how could Tang Ye just stand there and watch the zombie regenerate? With just a light wave of his hand, he clenched the zombie’s throat, and with a simple thought, he absorbed every bit of mutated anti-life matter from the zombie’s body into his own.

Once all the anti-life matter was gone, Tang Ye noticed the hardness of the zombie’s skin began to decrease, ending up soft and limp. He reached in, plucking a blood-red Evolution Crystal from the zombie’s spine.

He’d never seen such an evolution crystal before, and everyone stared at it, but couldn’t figure out what it was.

"Let’s go."

With a brief comment, Tang Ye sat back in the vehicle. Qiongli gave him a complicated look as they all waited for Bai Xinran to wrap things up before setting off again.

Because the long-haired young man, Wang You, had turned into a zombie and was subsequently killed by Tang Ye, they couldn’t make it to the promised location. Nannan seemed to be feeling hungry and had been crying since three o’clock, despite Bai Xinran and Qiongli’s best attempts to soothe her.

The streets at night were pitch-black like ink. They parked near a gas station, and many immediately rushed into the convenience store, hoping to find something to eat.

Unfortunately, just like the previous gas station, all of the supplies had been taken by the roadster gang.
