Chapter 47: I’m a Vibe of Delicate Weakness (16)
The last time Chen Yang felt a strong sense of life-threatening danger was at the very beginning of the mutation, and now he felt it again from Jiang Zhiyan’s eyes.
She nimbly dodged his attack and rapidly closed in. Someone behind him fired a gun, the bullet grazing her.
She didn’t seem afraid at all, her approach not slowing down in the slightest, not even pausing. She barely avoided each bullet, and it was unclear whether they were just bad shots, or if Jiang Zhiyan was dodging them.
Chen Yang’s body was completely distorted, no longer human-shaped. He tried to trap Jiang Zhiyan, but she somehow pulled out a knife and sliced off his outstretched arm.
The pain made him dizzy, and he stared at Jiang Zhiyan. This shouldn’t be happening. His body, when his ability was activated, was almost like liquid. Even if it was severed, it could be reattached. But after being cut off by Jiang Zhiyan, he couldn’t feel his arm anymore.
Bright red blood sprayed onto the ground, his severed arm landing on the hot asphalt, and he could almost smell the burning flesh.
To prevent Jiang Zhiyan from continuing to attack, Chen Yang was forced to deactivate his ability.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Zhiyan was standing right in front of him.
“I heard you want us dead?” Jiang Zhiyan asked.
Chen Yang took two steps back, leaning against the car, and looked at Jiang Zhiyan in terror, forcing a laugh: “I think there might be some misunderstanding between us.”
“I don’t think so, after all, even with your right arm severed, your left hand can still gesture.” Jiang Zhiyan flicked her wrist, and the fan flew out, the person who was about to attack from behind the car collapsing.
Chen Yang watched as the fan sliced through two people’s throats and then flew back into Jiang Zhiyan’s hand.
His gaze fell on the fan. It didn’t look like something humans could currently produce. He lowered his head, a greedy and inquisitive look in his eyes.
The others who wanted to attack stopped and exchanged glances, ceasing their resistance for the time being.
The gap in strength was too great, they had to think of other ways to survive.
They had seen this girl at the base before. She looked delicate and fragile, as if she had never experienced any hardship, but who would have thought she was like this? Her attacks were too fast, as if she had done this many times before.
“You can’t kill me.” Chen Yang leaned against the car, staring at Jiang Zhiyan. “One of our team members can monitor people’s life status and see how they die. Before I came out, I asked him to use his ability on me. If you kill me, he will immediately receive a notification, and you and your team members won’t be able to return to the base. The other members of your team at the base will also be in danger.”
“Let me live, and with my connections at the base, I can make your lives very comfortable.” Chen Yang continued. “I can make sure every member of your team has a decent weapon.”
The expressions of the others turned ugly. They didn’t have anything to bargain with, and Chen Yang’s words clearly showed that he wasn’t planning to save them.
Although they knew what kind of person Chen Yang was, they still felt angry.
“Boss, Boss, my ability is very powerful, I can transfer all their abilities to you, can you please spare me?” A skinny person scrambled out of the car, looking at Jiang Zhiyan ingratiatingly. He dropped to his knees and kowtowed twice.
“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me.” His voice trembled, looking terrified. “I’m really, very useful, Chen Yang’s team was able to level up so quickly all thanks to my ability.”
Jiang Zhiyan frowned. Looking at him like this, she thought she had traveled back to ancient times. His words also made her feel very uncomfortable. How many people had they killed?
She looked down at the back of his head and asked, feigning interest: “Oh? How does it work?”
“You just need to place your hand on the corpse. Whosever ability you like, we can arrange it, I’m very useful, really.” He crawled towards Jiang Zhiyan. Reaching her feet, he suddenly reached for her ankle. Jiang Zhiyan lifted her foot and stomped his head into the asphalt.
Jiang Zhiyan chuckled: “Interesting.”
She applied a little pressure, the five fingers of his hand, which had transformed into knives, flailing uselessly in the air. Flames and electricity erupted from his body, but to no avail. He quickly went still. The others’ veins bulged.
None of the people present were good, but they were still terrified by Jiang Zhiyan’s actions.
The system sighed, Jiang Zhiyan was completely on a different level. It was really curious about her mental state.
Jiang Zhiyan was even more terrifying than the aliens. Some wanted to run, but Jiang Zhiyan’s stones seemed to have eyes. The remaining people started pleading for their lives, pledging loyalty, and demonstrating their value.
Jiang Zhiyan didn’t spare a single one. Rather than believe that trash could be reformed, it was better to just kill them and eliminate the problem at its root. Soon, only Chen Yang was left. Of course, she wasn’t planning on letting him go either.
“That person will know how you die, right?” Jiang Zhiyan smiled at Chen Yang, severing the tendons in his hands and feet. “Why would you think that in this situation, I would need to do it myself?”
She knocked him unconscious and threw him beside the car.
Jiang Zhiyan left the road and returned to the shopping mall, which was huge. With only twelve of them, the probability of encountering each other wasn’t high. She went to the commercial street behind the mall, found a supermarket there, and filled a shopping cart.
Shortly after she left, a group of aliens gradually gathered there.
The system finally realized that the aliens’ sole purpose in this world was to be scapegoats for Jiang Zhiyan and help her dispose of bodies.
“Even if it was the aliens who killed them, Chen Yang’s state isn’t right.”
“Whatever, as long as they can’t trace it back to me, it’s fine. Not right or not, plenty of people die in strange ways during the apocalypse, and no one cares, right?” Jiang Zhiyan twitched her lips. “That ability transfer, how many of those deaths do you think were caused by humans?”
Jiang Zhiyan pushed the shopping carts to the entrance of the mall one by one.
“Where did you go? We couldn’t find you.” Qian Rongrong, seeing Jiang Zhiyan, waved and said softly, “We thought something happened to you, you scared us to death.”
“I just wandered around here.” Jiang Zhiyan twirled, showing off her new dress. “Picked out some new clothes.”
Qian Rongrong gave Jiang Zhiyan the middle finger: “Tell us next time. Si Xu went looking for you several times… I’m going to take a look too, it’s not convenient to wash clothes, and the clothes we’re wearing are starting to stink.”
“Sorry, I didn’t plan on going shopping at first, then I’ll go find her. But I did activate my ability, so it’s normal that you couldn’t find me…” Jiang Zhiyan turned and went into the mall.
Si Xu was on her sixth round of searching, and this time, she saw Jiang Zhiyan immediately. She was like a beacon, a 800-watt lightbulb in the darkness.
Jiang Zhiyan waved at Si Xu, then deactivated her ability, running towards her cheerfully.
“Senior, I heard you were looking for me.”
“Yes, I couldn’t find you, I’m glad you’re okay.” Si Xu glanced at Jiang Zhiyan. “Did you change your clothes?”
“You noticed at a glance, Senior Qian didn’t even notice just now.” Jiang Zhiyan twirled, then asked shyly, “Senior, do I look good? How is it?”
“You look good.” Si Xu nodded. “Anything else you need to get? I’ll go with you.”
Jiang Zhiyan looked around: “No, I’ve got everything. Senior, do you want to look around? I’ll accompany you!”
She couldn’t leave yet, she didn’t know if the aliens had been dealt with.
“Okay.” Si Xu nodded, and Jiang Zhiyan leaned close to her, affectionately hugging her arm.
The system, looking at Jiang Zhiyan, felt like it was about to split in two.
About five hundred meters away, on the road, a group of aliens mercilessly crushed the cars and corpses.
The person who had been chatting and laughing at the base suddenly widened their eyes and started coughing violently: “Chen Yang is dead.”
The people around him looked at him in shock.
…
This mall was the first place raided by their base, so it was still mostly full. Even after filling the vehicles and piling things on the roofs, there were still many items left.
And they were quite lucky, there were almost no aliens here. There had been a few originally, but after Jiang Zhiyan lured them away, this place was completely clear.
On their way back, they saw the carnage on the road and stared wide-eyed in shock. The driver subconsciously slowed down.
“That looks like Chen Yang’s car.” Lao Yang opened the window. “It is, I see their team’s logo. Fuck, they really came to cause trouble for us, hahaha, but I didn’t expect them to be dead! Dead here! Serves them right!”
He excitedly slapped the car window: “Oh man, I haven’t been this happy since the apocalypse started. I’m going to exchange points for a bottle of wine tonight to celebrate.”
“How did they die?” Qian Rongrong also opened the window and looked out, then quickly pulled her head back in, the scene too bloody.
“No signs of resistance, looks like they were crushed.” Xue Lin said. “It seems like they died before encountering the aliens.”
Jiang Zhiyan, listening to Xue Lin’s voice on the walkie-talkie, frowned. This person’s sixth sense was terrifying.
“Look at the redhead’s head, the wound on his neck is very clean.” Xue Lin continued. “Looks like it was done by a human.”
“Indeed, some of the bones are also broken very cleanly.” Lao Yang said.
“Ew, why are you looking at such disgusting things? They’re dead, let’s just go. Since they’re all dead, there must be something terrifying here.” Another person said, quickly closing the window.
Jiang Zhiyan leaned against Si Xu, closed her eyes tightly, and shuddered: “Xue Lin, stop describing it, I’m scared just listening to it. Senior, I’m definitely going to have nightmares tonight.”
“Xue Lin, that’s enough, it has nothing to do with us. Let’s find a gas station first and then go back.” Si Xu put her arm around Jiang Zhiyan’s shoulder.
“Do you think this is related to the incident at A University?” Xue Lin asked.
