Volume 6: The Twelve Wallfacers Chapter 20: The Illusion of the Third-Order Desire Zombie
The world suddenly changed!
The surrounding scenes receded like the tide, and Sun Li's eyes closed and opened again. He had returned to university, and standing in front of him was his ex-girlfriend with whom he had broken up peacefully after graduation.
He slowly walked down from the height, looking at the beautiful woman with long flowing hair whom he had thought about day and night, tears welled up in his eyes.
The woman smiled at her and said, "Sun Li, why are you daydreaming? It's time for physical education class. Didn't you say you would take me to play volleyball today?"
"Physical education?"
Sun Li was a little confused. He had forgotten a lot of things. Everything in front of him was so real and beautiful, but he always felt that he had forgotten something very important. "Did something happen before?"
"Have you fallen asleep? I just saw you sleeping on a seat on the first floor of the library. Did you have another nightmare? Oh no! Hurry up, hurry up, we're going to be late. The PE teacher is a very fierce old woman!"
The girl stuck out her tongue after she said that, which was very cute.
"Oh, yes, I heard that the PE teacher is a 40-year-old virgin with a weird temper!"
Sun Li shook his head, getting rid of those messy memories, but he still felt a little heavy in his head. He followed the girl to the playground.
The two of them chatted and laughed, just as sweet and warm as many couples in college, and the time was quiet and good.
But Sun Li always had a doubt. He felt like he had forgotten something important...
…
The scene in front of 15-year-old Huo Zhenqiu suddenly changed. The huge meat ball zombie disappeared. His body suddenly fell. When he opened his eyes again, he was sitting in a familiar bedroom. There was a movie playing on the LCD TV in front of him: "Resident Evil 6".
"How did I get here, zombies! Where are the zombies!?"
He waved his hands, trying to gather the metal objects in the surrounding buildings into his hands for defense.
Although I have been in the Corpse Killing Team for a short time, staying vigilant in any place is a necessary quality for everyone.
But the bed and the surrounding walls did not react at all, and a metal spoon lay quietly next to him, without any movement.
"Where's my power!?"
Huo Zhenqiu looked at his hands in horror, as if he couldn't figure out where the supernatural powers he had worked so hard to cultivate every day had gone.
At this moment, the bedroom door suddenly opened.
Huo Zhenqiu jumped back and looked at the person at the door vigilantly, and then... he suddenly froze.
"mom……?"
A middle-aged woman in her 40s came over and touched Huo Zhenqiu's head affectionately.
"You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense in broad daylight? Where did the zombies come from?"
Then, she looked at the "Resident Evil 6" playing in the room and pointed at Huo Zhenqiu's head. "Xiaoqiu, I told you not to watch these horror movies. You started talking nonsense in broad daylight. Won't your classmates laugh at you when you go out? In the words of you young people... this is the late stage of Chuunibyou. And you have superpowers? Show me one of your superpowers. I feel that your greatest superpower is... you have no idea how embarrassing it is to be a Chuunibyou!"
His mother's words echoed in Huo Zhenqiu's ears, making him feel as if he was supposed to be here.
"Could it be that all that was just a dream, like Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly? Homeland No. 1... zombies... people with special abilities... it turns out that it was all a dream of mine!"
The mother next to him laughed at her son's anger.
"You! The teacher said that you have the most vivid imagination. Why don't you follow your uncle to learn online writing? He makes a lot of money writing online. I heard that he is now a level 4 writer and can earn several thousand yuan every month. My Qiuqiu is so talented that he will definitely be better than him! He will become a level 100 writer in the future!"
As she spoke, the mother rubbed Huo Zhenqiu's head lovingly and said, "Come on, son, I'll take you to KFC for lunch today!"
When Huo Zhenqiu heard that they were going to have a big meal, he felt like drooling. He loved KFC the most!
The dream I just had was immediately thrown out of my mind.
"There's no such thing as the end of the world! The world is at peace, hahaha~! It's time for a feast!"
While changing his clothes, Huo Zhenqiu shouted that he wanted to eat French fries, hamburgers and fried chicken.
But before he left, he looked at his tall and handsome self in the mirror and suddenly felt that something was wrong...
…
The baby-faced Bai Hang was eating a pancake in his hand and in a blink of an eye he was back at the orphanage.
"Huh?"
Bai Hang blinked again, and the pancake in his hand disappeared, "Oh my god! Where's my pancake?"
However, the next second, Bai Hang was stunned by the sound of playfulness coming from behind.
"Xiao Bai, we are going to play sandbag throwing and we are short of one person. Do you want to come and play?"
"Xiaobai will definitely come, hurry up, everyone stand up, Xiaobai, you come first to receive the sandbag."
Bai Hang turned around stiffly and saw his two best friends in the orphanage, a boy and a girl.
They were inviting Bai Hang to play sandbag throwing with them. Bai Hang looked around and saw that this was the place where he had grown up - Red Maple Orphanage.
He is an orphan.
But he was not lonely since he was a child, because... in the orphanage, he had friends, teachers, and the director. They were a big, happy family. They never thought of themselves as abandoned orphans, but believed that they had a family bigger than anyone else. They had many parents, grandparents, and many brothers and sisters who played together. They were very happy...
However, on Bai Hang’s 15th birthday, the orphanage caught fire unexpectedly... and was burned to ashes.
He was the only one present who was lucky enough to survive and he didn't suffer any injuries.
That day, Bai Hang knelt beside the ruins of the orphanage and cried until he fainted...
After cooperating with the police to investigate the cause of the fire and ruling out his suspicion of arson, he was transferred to another orphanage.
But there, everyone said that he was an unlucky person who killed all the children in the orphanage and the director. He was destined to be unlucky and the most unfortunate person in the world. Anyone who made friends with him would die miserably.
The children were all spreading the news, and even the teachers, nurses and the dean were quite wary of him and would avoid any contact with him if possible.
Bai Hang lived there alone for a year...and the end of the world came.
“Bang!”
"Bai Hang, what are you doing standing there? The sandbags are falling on you!"
Bai Hang's thoughts quickly withdrew from his memories and returned to the familiar kindergarten and these familiar friends.
And those unpleasant memories faded away, as if nothing had happened.
"It's great that you are all still here..."
Bai Hang quickly joined in their sandbag throwing game, and with his extremely lucky dodging and agility, none of the sandbags hit him. Other friends could be heard saying, "Oh my god! None of them hit him. Xiaobai, you are so lucky!"
There was laughter and joy in the Red Maple Orphanage...
…
Many people in the super team have their own code names. One of them is a heroic girl with short hair codenamed Mulan. She is the one with extraordinary mental power in this team.
As the zombie in the hall walked out, she felt an overwhelming spiritual power gushing out.
This force covers the entire battlefield, leaving no blind spots!
Even though she was a person with extraordinary mental powers, she could .
And others were infected one after another.
Even their captain Sun Li was like a zombie, walking forward with stiff movements.
Coincidentally, the expressions on everyone's faces changed from nervousness to disbelief, and finally they slowly relaxed and revealed genuine smiles.
It seemed that the spiritual power of the zombies did not make them feel pain, but rather a sense of joy from the bottom of their hearts.
"Damn it, the battle hasn't even started yet and everyone has already fallen into an illusion? It's a pity that my mental power is no match for this third-level zombie, otherwise I could have imprisoned it in my consciousness cage..."
"Wake up! Everyone wake up! We are fighting, there are zombies ahead!"
Hua Mulan shouted loudly, but the others showed no sign of waking up.
Only one sturdy male team member showed a confused look on his face and looked at Hua Mulan: "Hey, Mulan, what happened to them? Why do they look like pigs? The zombie in front is so scary. No one is interested in it? No way, no way, is my teammate's XP so weird?"
Hua Mulan's face was filled with black lines. "I almost forgot about you, Tyrant! The zombies' mental attacks are the same as mine. They should have no way to deal with you. Great, are you able to move freely now?"
The man called the Tyrant stretched his legs, raised his hands, and jumped twice on the spot: "Not only is it free, but it's even stronger than before. So this means that this zombie has put a debuff on me, right?"
He was a little slow to realize it.
"That's right, that's all. First, you should... Oh no, look, that meatball zombie is coming!"
After losing the suppression of everyone's firepower, the meat ball zombie raised its head again.
It had countless scars on its body and was missing limbs, but its body had a strong ability to recover. It consumed its own flesh and sewed up the missing parts. After some repairs, its entire body shrunk by nearly half in size, but it returned to a healthy state. At this time, it rolled over with a roar, and its target was the location where the crowd was most concentrated!
"roar!!!"
Inside the ZY Studios, in a hall that looked like a photo studio, stood a very strange zombie.
Its body is not as huge and muscular as other third-order zombies. It has a plant-like body with a flower-like base underneath, from which extend flesh branches. Each branch has an organ similar to eyes and mouthparts. These mouthparts look hideous, some like a mace, and some like a sharp mouth covered with thorns, which are very creepy!
However, it can be roughly seen that it is set up to meet the needs of people of different genders.
Third level desire body zombie!
This type of zombie is described in the "Zombie Encyclopedia" textbook compiled by No. 1 Home. It is extremely rare!
It was created to seduce humans so that it can inject its own young into the human body, causing women to become pregnant without knowing it, while men are clamped in its mouthparts and completely sucked dry of blood and flesh to become its nutrients.
The means are extremely horrific!
But... the person targeted by it will not feel the slightest pain, but will instead experience what he wants most in a dream.
At this moment, everyone's bodies were unconsciously moving towards the Desire Zombie. They walked slowly and gathered together unknowingly. The Meatball Zombie seized this opportunity and rolled over fiercely, bringing with it green poisonous mist.
"Good fellow, I'm the only one left, can I fight? Usually you look down on my ability, but you still don't believe me when Jin said it's an A-level ability. Now you know who's the most powerful, right? You may be able to exert 0%~! 200% of your strength, but I can always exert 100% of my strength, under any circumstances."
Although he was talkative, his hands were not slow at all. He quickly took out a large sausage, which was a supernatural food, from his pocket and ate it. His body suddenly swelled up.
At the same time, he activated his own supernatural powers, and a circle of golden domineering protection appeared outside his body. There was also a layer of orange film all over his body, which continuously absorbed the surrounding debuffs. He could not help but resist all the mental power from the zombies, and was completely immune to the poisonous fog of the meatball zombies.
His special ability is - Domination!
He is immune to external evil and all poisons, and when in a negative state, he can absorb these negative states and turn them into his own strength, becoming more and more powerful as the battle goes on!
He swung his sandbag-sized fist and slammed it hard into the meatball zombie.
“Bang!”
The ball bounced away and he was thrown back more than 10 meters.
His body collided with everyone, but the people he bumped into didn't feel anything at all. They just groped their way up and continued to walk towards the flashy and lustful zombie, as if it was the thing they wanted most in their life.
Hua Mulan shouted anxiously in the air: "Ordinary collisions are useless. Try to cover their bodies with your special powers. Or try to shake them hard."
"My power can't leave the body, and I don't have time to shake them! Let me deal with it first!"
As he said that, the Tyrant started fighting with the Meatball Zombie.
The Tyrant who had taken the big sausage was evenly matched with the meat|ball zombie that had been weakened by half. The man and the zombie were fighting continuously below. The Tyrant used his body to protect his teammates to prevent them from being hit by the meat|ball zombie.
But neither it nor the meat|ball zombie can resolve the battle quickly. Its special ability can absorb the ubiquitous spiritual power impact and the zombies' poisonous fog to grow. However, it is still impossible to completely suppress the meat|ball zombie in a short time, let alone rescue teammates. Under the spiritual guidance of the desire zombie, the teammates continue to approach it. The distance between the two sides is less than 50 meters.
If we let them go any further, they will all be eaten in no time!
The situation was once in crisis!
Mulan in the air wanted to take out weapons from her [Traveler's Belt] to provide support, but her body could not move.
With her strength as a second-level transcendent, she has already reached her limit in resisting the mental attacks of the third-level desire zombies.
It is simply unrealistic to want to escape or fight back. If she could eat one of Shen Jin's carrot supernatural food in advance, she might be able to completely get rid of the control of the desire zombie.
"That's right! Tyrant, quickly drive the meatball zombies back and take a big carrot from your bag for me to eat!"
"good!"
The Tyrant used a combination of punches to force the meat|ball zombie back, and casually sprinkled a piece of [Crystal Core Bomb] to cover the meat|ball zombie, "Boom boom boom!"
[Crystal Core Bomb] Although its killing power against level 3 zombies is limited, it can still cause some hindrance to them when the number is large.
This bought the Tyrant some time. He quickly took out a supernatural carrot from his bag, took off with a catapulting motion, and accurately threw the carrot into the mouth of Mulan who was floating in the air.
Hua Mulan only felt a warm current flowing into her body along her esophagus. Then her physical abilities surged, and her mental power began to spread wildly. The invisible mental power that locked her around began to crack...
“Bang!”
A crisp sound from the spiritual world allowed Mulan to completely break free from the mental control of the desire zombies, and her body regained its flexibility.
On the other side, the Tyrant was fighting with the Meatball Zombie. Mulan used her special powers to resist the attack of the Desire Zombie while flying towards her other teammates.
"Captain, wake up, Captain, wake up! Don't be confused by it." Hua Mulan shook Sun Li hard, but Sun Li remained unmoved. He squeezed his body forward. Even with her extraordinary spiritual power, she could not stop Sun Li at all.
After trying several people, she found out... conventional methods were useless!
"It seems that only mental power can free me from the control of mental power. I wonder if I can withstand it in this state."
Mulan sat cross-legged in the air, with a strong spiritual force radiating outward from her body.
Around the other teammates, there is a thick mental barrier that covers every corner of their bodies. Mulan's mental power is like an ant in front of the third-level desire zombie, trying to shake a tree.
"Although I can't free you from the zombies' control, I can still help you open a tiny gap in your mental suppression. From now on, it's up to you! Everyone's mental power is extremely strong. It depends on whether you can use it. Believe in yourself. The power of your mind is enough to tear through everything!"
Mulan closed her eyes, and her body emanated a thread of spiritual power as thin as a needle but extremely tenacious, which cut a small gap in the spiritual stance of the people around them. The spiritual power of the desire zombies was constantly repairing these gaps, and the man and the corpse were deadlocked in the air.
The situation of the Tyrant in front is not very good.
Originally, he was evenly matched with a meatball zombie, and as he absorbed the power of these debuffs, his body was slowly surpassing the meatball zombie. He only needed to fight for a while longer and he could completely kill the meatball zombie.
But... the Desire Corpse did not absorb his mental power, and waves of sound came out from its mouth full of fangs and attacked the Tyrant directly.
The Tyrant was instantly blown away by this force.
This is not a debuff, but a real physical attack.
The psychic zombies began to convince people with reason...
After rolling several times in the air and falling to the ground, the Tyrant was knocked away by the Meatball Zombie as soon as he stood up.
Mulan, who was floating in the air, remained unmoved and just tried her best to stimulate her mental strength.
Open a tiny gap in the mental control of the teammates around you.
"Get rid of it, wake up everyone, wake up!"
On the ground, Tyrant was beaten up by the Meat|Ball Zombie and the Desire Zombie. Seeing a lot of scars on his body, his strength and mental state were also declining. With his current ability, he could not beat the two zombies together.
“Bang!”
After he was knocked away again, the meatball zombie suddenly swung out its two claws, piercing through the golden film and the craftsman soul armor on the outside of his body and inserted into his shoulder blade.
"ah!!!"
The Tyrant was caught by the Meat|Ball Zombie's claws, while the others were still walking towards the Desire Zombie in a daze. The distance between them and the Desire Zombie was only 20 meters!
Danger! Danger!
Cold sweat broke out on the Tyrant's forehead, and he was about to be dragged back by the meatball zombie. At that time, his limbs would be crushed to pieces like the Resurrected ones, but he did not have the resurrection ability of the Resurrected ones!
"Mulan, save me!"
Mulan did not answer. She used all her powers to the fullest. The next second.
A dark figure stood up from behind the meatball zombie...
