Chapter 603: Chapter 602: Somehow I Knew This Call Wouldn’t Go Through

Whoosh——

Water elements that appeared out of nowhere formed the phantom of a tidal wave, fiercely slamming down on the vehicles and the infected on the street.

The splashing water was turbulent, pushing the flattened cars far away before slowly dissipating. Cars on the entire street were scattered messily as if struck by a flood, some even crashing directly into storefront windows, leaving behind large, clearly visible water stains on the road.

Shao Zifeng sighed upon seeing this scene. Although Jingjing had learned Sky Control, it was after all an aquatic creature. The Wave Riding move just now could easily raise a giant wave several meters high at sea, relentlessly slapping the target.

Glancing at the infected, distorted beyond human recognition on the ground, Shao Zifeng planned not to linger any longer. Now that the infected had appeared on the streets, it seemed they could no longer hold back from taking action.

Just as he was about to leave, that man suddenly said, "Shao... brother?"

Shao Zifeng looked down in surprise, only to see an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in a somewhat messy state, still in his pajamas, indeed looking a bit familiar.

Upon seeing Shao Zifeng’s face clearly, the man’s face lit up with joy, "Shao brother, it really is you!"

"I, we fought the ghosts together before."

With that, Shao Zifeng suddenly remembered who this man was, "The Beihai Young Master, that Ma Jiaming who had a stroke?"

Ma Jiaming’s face stiffened. Was this kid really that bad at speaking?

I said I had a stroke, dammit, for whom?

Shao Zifeng also realized he might have misspoken. After all, the man had exerted quite an effort for him back then. He quickly laughed it off, "Just kidding, Brother Ma, don’t mind it."

"Not at all," Ma Jiaming examined Shao Zifeng and Jingjing up and down, "I always felt that you were an extraordinary man, Shao brother. My judgment wasn’t bad."

"You flatter me..."

Just as they exchanged a few pleasantries, an alarm sounded again over the capital.

Ma Jiaming slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory, Shao brother, come with me."

Shao Zifeng looked around the deserted street, perplexed, "Where to?"

"To take shelter," Ma Jiaming said, helping his wife while speaking anxiously, "Follow me, I know these streets well, don’t ask now... it’ll be too late if we don’t leave now."

Ma Jiaming took a few steps while supporting his wife, but seeing Shao Zifeng still standing in place, he urged anxiously, "Come on, young man, move!"

Shao Zifeng shook his head, "I have a friend and I don’t know how he’s doing now; you go first, Brother Ma."

Ma Jiaming looked puzzled, "Then why don’t you call him?"

Shao Zifeng’s expression stiffened as he reached into his pocket for his phone.

The two men had a stare-off, and the atmosphere suddenly grew a bit awkward.

Thinking he had misspoken, Ma Jiaming cautiously asked, "Phone’s out of battery?"

Uh...

Shao Zifeng took a deep breath and then nodded solemnly, "Yes, it’s out of battery."

"You should’ve said so earlier," Ma Jiaming scolded him, reaching into his pocket, "Making a call shouldn’t be this complicated, use mine... uh."

The two men stared at each other again as Ma Jiaming realized he hadn’t brought his phone.

Shao Zifeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He saw an Abnormal Administration Bureau official vehicle approaching from the distance, "Brother Ma, I’ll go first, let’s have dinner sometime."

He then patted Jingjing’s big head.

Accompanied by melodic whale songs, Jingjing carried Shao Zifeng slowly toward the night sky.

Behind him, Ma Jiaming’s faltering voice carried, "Shao... brother, come back, your... sister-in-law... phone..."

Shao Zifeng’s mouth twitched, and he flew towards the central venue with even greater speed.

"Sorry! The number you have dialed is currently unavailable, please try again later. Sorry, The subscriber..."

Shao Zifeng looked at the cellphone in his hand.

It wasn’t that he had forgotten to make a call. He just somehow knew deep down that the call wouldn’t go through.

Yes, that was it.

With this thought, his mind suddenly cleared, and he serenely tucked the cellphone into his pocket.

...

"Xiang Nan, be careful!"

Xiang Nan had just pulled a dagger from the neck of an infected when he swiftly turned around, only to see another infected, with a ferocious face, lunging at him.

The infected, appearing to be a young woman, had tattered clothes. Her ferocious face with bulging veins and purple-black threads writhing like iron worms. Her teeth, flickering with a cold light, magnified rapidly in his sight.

"Gah—"

The Cannon Clamp Shrimp Soldier’s tail coiled and slammed into the ground, launching itself like a cannonball through the burst turf. Its massive clamps slightly open, twisted energy waves rapidly compressed, and it smashed heavily into the female infected’s abdomen.

"Ahh!!" The female infected bent at the waist, her eyes bulging as she flew towards the sky, with a rapidly expanding energy orb still in her abdomen.

Boom!

The energy orb exploded suddenly, instantly enveloping the female infected in a cloud of pure white steam.

Splash!

With the sound of a heavy object falling, the female infected smashed onto the lush grassland, her body rigid and slightly steaming, evidently dead beyond any doubt.

They were now retreating to a corner, where dozens of vines haphazardly formed a simple defense network. Beyond that lay a chaotic scene.

Facing the infected, everyone tried to squeeze into the middle of the crowd. At least in the middle, others could take hits for them. But it was tough being in the center, as everyone was squeezed until they could hardly breathe.

Looking at the female corpse in front of him, Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully said to Li Yiming, "Thanks."

Li Yiming nodded, his gaze sweeping over several teammates, "Can you all still hold on?"

Casar glanced at his Snow Feather Owl and Nightmare Kite. "I can."

Xiang Nan’s sore fingers gripped the dagger tightly, his Resentful Spirit sticking close by his side, "I’m fine too."

Hu Shiwu, hugging the sleep orchid, cheekily joked, "A man, in front of a woman, must stiffen his neck and say ’Am I not tough’ even if he can’t hold on..."

Before he finished, several sharp glares shot his way, and Hu Shiwu shrank his neck, no longer daring to talk frivolously.

Seeing that his teammates could hold on, Li Yiming said to Li Yiren, "Yiren, protect Teacher Xiaoyu. We’ll go out and kill a few more."

Li Yiren cradled a small water ball-like pet in her arms, "I will, be careful."

Watching their backs, especially Li Yiming’s somewhat slim figure, Li Yiren suddenly felt like her brother seemed like a different person, becoming more dependable.

On the other side of the central venue, several tall Rock Barriers formed a semicircle, within which Chen Yixin and her research team were encircled.

Outside the Rock Barrier, several infected with ferocious faces stretched their arms through the gaps, their fingers frantically scrambling for something.

"Roar!"

A saber-toothed tiger over half a meter tall stood in front of Chen Yixin, breathing out a blast of cold air.

The arms reaching in had visibly accumulated a layer of white frost on the rock wall, and several male researchers took the chance to smash down with stones.

Crack!

Several arms fell to the ground, with at least a dozen already piled beneath.

Chen Yixin looked worriedly outside, as the number of infected seemed to have increased again.
