Chapter 358: Escape

Then, he looked at Adam and said, "Before we leave this place, I have to get what I want first. Otherwise, even if you kill me, believe me, you will not get your sister."

Jason already had an idea that he possessed an advantage in this situation. It was very clear that Alicia was very important to Adam. And the same to him, that human was important to him.

So, they could have gone ahead and made an exchange. But previously, believing that he was going to be capable of dealing with Henry and the others, he decided not to talk about this matter.

As long as he could get what he wanted here, he could go ahead with the plan that he was having about Alicia. But right now, it seemed that it was going to be impossible. The only thing that could happen was for him to get one while losing the other, but he could not get all of them together.

The most important thing right now was to make sure that he gained that human. As for Alicia, he could still go ahead and get her, and not only her, but even Adam and the others. But of course, all of that required him to get stronger, and that was something that he was intending to do the moment that he got out of here.

Since he currently held the initiative, he decided to utilize it. But, he had not expected that Adam was going to act in a crazed manner just like this. He had expected that Adam was going to compromise, but he had not expected that Adam was going to attack him.

The moment that he said those words, Adam was infuriated immediately. How dare a zombie tried to threaten him about his sister? He had not seen his sister for more than 10 years. And right now, after realizing that she was still alive after 5 months of the apocalypse, he was definitely excited about it.

And since he was here, there was no way that he was going to allow for her to perish. So, at this point, the moment that the zombie threatened his sister, that was the time that Adam completely lost his mind.

Jason had not prepared himself for an attack. So, the moment that Henry punched forward, Jason did not even have a chance of blocking the attack.

Bang!

The attack landed squarely on Jason’s face. Jason was immediately launched backwards. At the same time, he felt that his head was buzzing, as he felt completely dizzy while struggling to get back onto his feet from the ground.

At this moment, Jason had already began bleeding. It was just that the blood that was leaking from his nose was black, unlike the human blood that was dark red.

Adam was just about to attack yet again when suddenly, he felt a hand grabbing him by the shoulder. Instinctively, he launched a punch towards his back the moment that he turned around.

Thump!

Nevertheless, the attack that he launched was easily stopped and grasped inside another hand. When he looked over, he realized that the one who had held him was actually Henry.

At this moment, Adam finally began calming down as he began thinking clearly. Although he did not understand how Henry had arrived here that fast, nevertheless, he was quite relieved that Henry had prevented him from continuing with what he was doing.

After realizing that Adam had calmed down, Henry released his hand. Then, he looked at the zombie that was already back on his feet. Then, he approached slowly.

At this moment, Jason could not help but tremble a little at the presence of Henry. Just Adam himself was enough to cause him trouble, completely dominating him. But right now, he had observed as Henry easily stopped Adam’s punch.

It did not look like he had struggled in order to prevent that punch from landing. Instead, it looked like he had done everything effortlessly. From just that, Jason could easily tell that Henry was way stronger as compared to Adam.

After Henry approached Jason, he looked directly into his eyes and said with an indifferent voice, "You know what I don’t like, it is if someone is trying to give me a threat."

Jason frowned after hearing what Henry had said. This was definitely not what he had been expecting that Henry was going to say. After all, he had just prevented Adam from continuing to beat him up. So, could it be that Henry was also here because he wanted to beat him up personally?

"What are you trying to imply?" Jason asked as he cleaned the blood that was still coming from his nose. But after several attempts of cleaning the blood and realizing that the blood did not stop from coming out, he simply ignored it, allowing it to continue flowing from his nose.

"What I am trying to imply is simple. You have my fiancée. And here you are, trying to tell me that you are going to hand her over only after we hand over whoever it is that you are here for? Do you think that you can negotiate with us?" Henry asked.

At this moment, he did not even release his aura, but just the way that his eyes were looking at him, Jason felt his body subconsciously trembling. But still, he managed to prevent himself from losing his composure in front of Henry.

Adam who was a distance away could not help but smile a little. This was definitely the first time in 10 years that he had ever heard Henry referring to his sister as his fiancée.

Although Adam understood that currently, with the apocalypse in place, Henry could simply ignore the matter of the engagement that had been made before, but still, with Henry claiming about Alicia being his fiancée, that implied that he had not given up on that issue.

With his pupils contracting, Jason looked at Henry and asked, "Do you think that I really don’t have the privilege of negotiating with you guys? Right now, you don’t know where you can find your fiancée. So, this is going to be an exchange. You get what you want, and I get what I want. Simple."

"Let me tell you one thing. If anything happens to her, I’m going to make sure that all the zombies within this place are going to be cleared out. And that is going to happen soon." Henry said in a calm voice.

But as Jason listened to what Henry had said, he did not think that Henry was joking at all. In fact, dealing with the zombies that were currently present within this city was definitely not simple.

But since Jason did not understand the capabilities of Henry and his group, he did not want to take any risk. Simply put, he understood that if he continued being here, he was going to be at a great disadvantage.

"Since you don’t want to cooperate, then don’t blame me for what is going to happen." Jason gritted his teeth and said in a threatening voice.

But he had just finished saying those words when suddenly, Henry attacked without a warning. Completely unlike Adam, Henry’s attack was extremely fast.

Bang!

A punch landed on Jason’s chest. At this moment, the bones on his chest immediately cracked. Additionally, several bones went ahead and pierced through his heart and lungs.

It was clear that this simple punch had already injured Jason grievously. Jason had completely lost his combat power. No matter what, he was definitely not capable of even defending a single attack from Adam with his current condition.

Henry on the other hand looked at Jason who had already been launched about 10 m backwards by his punch. His eyes were extremely cold as he looked at him. Then, he began approaching slowly.

It was good enough that Jason had not commanded the zombies to do anything to Alicia. Although this could not be proven, nevertheless, it was better to get rid of this zombie. Leaving this zombie alive was definitely not a good decision, considering that he was going to pose a great danger in the future if he managed to get stronger than the level that he was in right now.

Jason also immediately realized that Henry was having the intention of eliminating him. At this moment, he could feel danger surrounding him. And he immediately realized that if he continued staying here, then he was bound to die. He did not even have a chance of resisting against Henry.

He did not know about what current power level Henry was at, but still, it was definitely not simple. He was at the diamond rank, that was guaranteed. As for the level, he definitely was above level 3 of the diamond rank.

Using his functioning right hand, Jason immediately took something from his pocket. It was a crystal bead. Then without hesitation, he clenched tightly on the crystal bead. At the same time, since his hand was bloody, It immediately spread on the crystal bead.

The moment that the crystal bead touched the blood, it began shining with a red light. At the same time, as Jason exerted pressure on it, it began cracking.

Henry had already realized that Jason had taken something from his pocket. He did not know what it was that Jason had taken out, but it was definitely not something good.

So without hesitating, he immediately increased the speed at which he was approaching Jason. He was intending on making sure that he killed Jason, not giving him a chance of getting out of here, or launching an attack if that thing that he had taken from his pocket was going to be used for an attack.

But just after he arrived in front of Jason, a red light suddenly erupted from the crystal bead that had been crushed by Jason. In the next moment, it formed something like a barrier around Jason.

Henry did not stop attacking because of the appearance of the barrier. But instead, he still went ahead and launched his attack using the sword that he had already drawn as he was charging over.

The sword slashed through the barrier. But immediately after it cut through the barrier, the barrier together with Jason both disappeared.
