Chapter 47: 3.4

Four cars passed through the zombies on the road. Many ability users would use their ability to clear up the way, like the air ability user in front who used his power to push the zombies out of the way.

Yunyu was in his own vehicle with a driver in front. There were only him and Ling Kai on the backseat.

Yunyu was dazed the whole time, he said nothing and cared about nothing. In the background setting, Bi He would be the one who pestered Yunyu about many things. But now the gentle, handsome man had been replaced by this intimidating man with amber eyes who wouldn't stop staring at him.

Yunyu was intimidated by Ling Kai's unsettling stare, but his character setting prevented him from being scared or intimidated by anyone. He glanced at Ling Kai and asked, "Eyes on the road."

"Why should I? I'm not the driver."

"Eyes on something else," Yunyu was getting uncomfortable, but Ling Kai didn't let him off. As if he was specifically targeting him:

"I am your backup, President, I should keep a tight watch over you, right?"

[System! I can't, Ling Kai is too scary!]

[Pupa: Bear with it, you have to fill the Breakmeter anyway.]

[How would the world get destroyed anyway? If Ling Kai is THAT powerful, I don't think needs to wait and pose as a soldier. He could just kill everyone in one go.]

[Pupa: Let me retrieve the data about it.]

Pupa paused for a moment, then showed a hologram that depicted the image of Bi He killing everyone in his sight. Bi He was merciless as he slaughtered everyone with a newly found power, which seemed to be a lightning power similar to him. Meanwhile, Ling Kai was behind him, laughing as he kissed Bi He while letting the bloodbath in front of his sight.

While Yunyu still retained his flat face as President Ru, he was shocked in his mind, because he didn't expect the gentle Bi He would turn violent like that. Bi He in the hologram was devoid of emotion, like a cold blooded killer.

[What caused Bi He to be like that? He doesn't have offensive power at all. Was it Ling Kai?]

[Pupa: It seemed to. Bi He swallowed a part of Ling Kai's original brain bead, and it turned him out of control and slaughtered everyone, for the reason of how Bi He could swallow Ling Kai's brain bead, that is apparently not detailed here.]

[… holy shit. That's scary as hell.]

Yunyu finally glanced at Ling Kai whose eyes stared at him like a hungry wolf. He shivered, but braced himself as part of acting, "Since your ability is redirecting attack, I don't think you will be useful during this expedition if you are near me."

"Why is it?" Ling Kai raised his left brow, he smirked, "President Ru seems to be nervous around me."

"I judge objectively. I cannot use my power in that supermarket, because it is too destructive. I would assign you with another ability user, probably ice ability user."

Ling Kai smiled mysteriously and then leaned on President Ru's shoulder, he whispered, "President Ru, you must come with me if you want to know something important."

Yunyu reacted immediately by pushing Ling Kai and raised his index finger, a small ball of electricity swirled on his index, "I do not play around, Kai."

Ling Kai chuckled slightly. He caught Yunyu's wrist and grip it tightly. Yunyu tried to retract his hand, but Ling Kai's strength was amazing, he was astonished when Ling Kai parted his lips and swallowed the electric ball.

Ling Kai licked Yunyu's index finger until it was wet with his saliva, then he grinned at the stunned President Ru and said, "And I'm not playing around, President Ru."

[Wow… that's hot.]

[Pupa: He overpowers you and sucked your attack like it's nothing, focus, you pervert.]

[A—Ah! Yes! I mean, scary! He is so scary!]

Yunyu's eyes immediately darted at the driver in front, but the driver didn't seem to react at all. He just drove like there was nothing wrong in the back.

"I already fiddled with his mind, he will not notice anything wrong," Ling Kai said.

"Who are you?" Yunyu asked cautiously.

"Obey my command if you want to know," Ling Kai released Yunyu's hand. He watched as Yunyu gulped and avoided his eyes for a second, "Are you scared, President?"

Yunyu resumed his posture and glared with his cold eyes, "I will not spare you if you dare to do something harmful to my people."

"That depends on your performance, President Ru," Ling Kai laughed again and raised his legs, he rested his legs on the driver's shoulder and leaned on the seat, "Just follow my command."

Yunyu kept his straight posture while staring cautiously at Ling Kai who looked very relaxed. Ling Kai found it funny that the President was a lot more interesting than he thought, especially after he extracted all information about Presiden Ru Lan from his vice president.

He was hostile towards Ru Lan because Ru Lan had an electromagnetic barrier around his mind, maybe it was part of Ru Lan's ability, but it made Ling Kai unable to read Ru Lan's mind. But after he extracted the information from Bi He, he felt that President Ru Lan was more challenging.

'I guess, it's more fun with this guy.'

[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to 0%.]

[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 20%]

[I honestly don't know what is in this guy's head. He is so unpredictable. Yesterday, he was hostile at me, and today, he is acting like this.]

[Pupa: You still have to keep your guard up.]

***

They arrived at the abandoned supermarket. The supermarket was quite big with five floors. Yunyu divided the group into four to inspect each floor, and Yunyu will go to the fifth floor only with his backup, Ling Kai.

Their objective was not to find food, because it had been ten years since the apocalypse, but to find weapons or armoury left by those who might use this supermarket as shelter, or to find the glow zombie. A type of zombie with glowing yellow head, this type of zombie contained a very precious brain bead and they usually lurked inside a building. However, glow zombies could be very aggressive and its teeth were sharp and lethal.

Of course, it was all Ling Kai's instruction for the President.

After everything had been assigned, Yunyu and Ling Kai headed to the highest floor of the supermarket. Yunyu kept his guard on while Ling Kai walked around leisurely. His amber eyes glowed in the dark.

Meanwhile, Yunyu watched from behind as Ling Kai strutted around, not minding the zombies around them. In fact, the zombies tended to avoid them, which was strange.

Ling Kai grinned at the cautious President and asked, "Do you need a glow zombie? Then I shall make you one."

Ling Kai pointed at one passing zombie and within a minute, the regular zombie's head slowly showed a yellow glow and its teeth turned as sharp as razors. The regular zombie turned into a glow zombie. Ling Kai pointed at President Ru and commanded the zombie, "Attack."

The ferocious glow zombie charged towards Yunyu. Yunyu stepped back and pointed his index and middle finger at the glow zombie and two small balls of electricity swirled on his fingers, the electric ball turned into laser beams and Yunyu shot it at the zombie, aimed at its head.

Usually, the zombie wouldn't avoid the attack because the laser beam was very fast, but this glow zombie avoided his two laser beams skilfully.

"What?!" Yunyu took a few steps back and kept shooting the zombie with his laser shot. He couldn't create destructive lightning here, because he was at the highest floor of this supermarket. If created a huge explosion, then he would kill everyone.

"Do you think you can kill this zombie easily?" Ling Kai was intrigued with President Ru's persistence. He could just blast this glow zombie with destructive lightning like what he did yesterday, but he chose not to, to protect his people.

He watched amusingly as the President tried to kill the glow zombie with many small laser beams, like a gun. Ling Kai moved the zombie with his eyes to avoid all the laser beams.

"Ah!" Yunyu's leg stumbled upon something and he fell on his butt. The glow zombie lunged at him, ready to devour him.

[System! I'm going to die!]

[Pupa: Ah… I have to prepare for a restart, it will take a while. You may be in tremendous pain before the setting is ready.]

[You are really going to let me be chewed by a zombie?!]

Yunyu watched as the glow zombie lunged at him, but suddenly stopped when its teeth were only an inch away from his body.

Ling Kai laughed amusingly as he pushed the zombie away. The glow zombie reversed back as a regular zombie. He stared down at Ru Lan who was obviously cornered, but didn't close his eyes at all. This guy got guts.

[Pupa: Ah, that's so close. How unfortunate.]

[You black bellied evil system! I want a refund!]

[Pupa: I've prepared the restart setting for nothing.]

Ling Kai's amber eyes glowed as he crouched in front of the petrified President. Ling Kai opened his mouth, "I am Ling Kai, the Zombie King. President Ru, I will make you eat my brain."
