All five of them were hiding underneath cars, their eyes were fixed on the unfinished building surrounded by a group of zombies. They didn't know what was inside that interested the zombies so much.
"There's a person inside. They seem to be in trouble." Gong Lixin approached He Jin and whispered in his ear.
The warm breath tickled He Jin's ear and he thought he smelled a unique fragrance from the other's breath even when there was no such thing. His expression became stiff and so had his lips. He asked with his eyes instead: How do you know?
Gong Lixin pointed to his ear, indicating that he heard it.
Soon, the truth revealed itself. They heard faint screams coming from the unfinished building, the panicked wails were filled with despair. Obviously, there was a living person inside and the sound they made attracted many zombies. The zombies' hearing was very sharp so they had noticed the sound almost immediately.
He Jin looked at Gong Lixin differently. This child's hearing was comparable to those beast-like zombies! What he didn't know was that compared to what Gong Lixin was truly capable of, these zombies were mere flies.
The screams got louder and louder, and soon a man with a dirty and ragged appearance appeared. He stumbled and ran towards the iron gate, followed by a single zombie. It was obvious the two men were originally homeless people who lived in that unfinished building. One of them had changed into a zombie and the unaffected man became his prey.
The beggar wanted to climb the grills of the iron gate and get out of the secluded area. He went up to the front but saw the group of zombies waiting outside of the iron gate. He glanced back, then in front before he yelled at the sky and fell to his knees in despair. There was no escape ahead and he would just get chased by remaining here. The homeless man shed tears, his legs going soft and he continued kneeling on the ground. He had given up on running.
He was desperate to live, but it was better to die.
The zombies roared continuously because though fresh food was close at hand, they were unable to reach it. The zombies outside of the gate could see, hear and smell but they couldn't touch their food. A few zombies in front of the iron gate began to get mad. The homeless zombie quickly ran up to pick up his food while the crying sound attracted more zombies to the unfinished building.
The homeless man was completely immersed in despair at this moment and was only waiting for his companion to swallow him. He didn't even bother resisting.
"His crying will lead more zombies here. And when his friend tears him open, the smell of fresh blood will spread and the building will be flooded with hordes of zombies." He Jin said in a low voice. It was hard to find a perfect temporary resting place, so it was normal he was in a bad mood.
Under another car, Wu Ming, who was only a few feet away from He Jin, was somewhat anxious and whispered, "What do we do? Do we just wait here or do we try to save him?"
He Jin's face was cold. "There's no way to kill the zombie chasing the homeless man and trying to save him would cause too much noise." He whispered to Wang Tao on the other side, "Lend me your axe."
Wang Tao nodded. "Here." The axe slid across the ground.
He Jin picked up the axe and patted Gong Lixin's soft hair. With warmth in his voice, he said, "Hey, wait here, I'll come back soon." He didn't wait for Gong Lixin to answer, he quickly rolled from beneath the car and began cutting off the incoming heads of several zombies before running towards the iron gate. When he was close enough, he threw the axe in his hand.
The axe was accurately thrown past the zombies and iron gate, deeply embedding itself in the homeless zombie's head. The zombie had already rushed to the homeless man's side, but after his skull was hit, the zombie fell over and it's heavy body pressed against the homeless man. The rancid black blood splashed across the homeless man's face.
"Ah!" The homeless man held the dead zombie, staring at the cracked skull as brain matter oozed out of its head. He could no longer restrain the fear in his heart and screamed. The piercing sound reverberated throughout the entire area.
"Fuck!" He didn't expect that after killing the zombie, the homeless man's screaming would be even louder. Veins popped up on He Jin's forehead due to how frustrated he was.
From behind him, a light gust of air passed him and a stone hit the homeless man's temple with uncanny precision. The screaming man’s face turned white and he fainted, lying still on the ground.
He looked back and was surprised to see Gong Lixin standing behind him, looking up at him with his small face and his crystal-clear ebony black eyes.
"Was that stone thrown by you?" He said with disbelief. He used a stone to stun such a big man 30 meters away. What would his true strength be in future? How could this teenager be a master who was no less stronger than him?
"Yeah." Gong Lixin nodded, not realizing the kind of shock he caused with such a small trick.
"M, m, master!" Lu Yun stuttered from his position at the bottom of the car. Wu Ming was also stunned. They had always known that He Jin was a top-level expert, but didn't expect that Gong Lixin, who seemed weak and delicate, had strength not inferior to the other. Moreover, Gong Lixin hadn't even finished maturing yet, so his future was even more limitless!
'It was their luck to have met Young Master Gong!' Wu Ming secretly rejoiced.
"Tsk, what's so impressive about that. Gong Lixin can even use a branch to break open zombie heads, this is nothing!" Wang Tao muttered, a proud expression could be seen on his face as he worshiped Gong Lixin.
Wu Ming and Lu Yun looked at each other, their eyes full of doubt. However, Gong Lixin was indeed a master. He had jumped across countless roofs and hadn't even been the tiniest bit out of breath. And the throw just now. Even without Wang Tao's exaggeration, it wasn't too hard to for the others to imagine something similar.
The three people who still beneath the cars were shocked by Gong Lixin, while the person himself was still as calm and steady as always. The two people causing trouble were taken care of.
He Jin and Gong Lixin threw a few more shots and the movement around the building subsided but they also caught the zombies' attention. The zombies turned their heads towards them and roared before coming after them. Fires ignited within the zombies' black eyes due to them sighting their prey. Their hunger was unbearable.
"I'll lead them away. You take the others over the wall." He Jin's quickly ordered, not waiting for Gong Lixin to speak before he rushed off in a certain direction. He'd already planned everything out the moment he climbed out from beneath the car.
The noise He Jin made was very loud and immediately attracted most of the zombies towards him. The remaining ones formed a small group and began swaying towards Gong Lixin.
Gong Lixin innocently looked at the zombies as he used his feet to kick the zombies. One after another, zombies were swept away, their skull breaking with a single kick. All the zombies that had been surrounding him just a few seconds ago were now piles of motionless flesh. The bodies created an indescribable scene.
"O-o-one move!" Lu Yun once again stuttered and his reverence for Gong Lixin could not be any higher. This was the legendary martial arts master! Killing zombies was easy as cutting vegetables.
Wu Ming's expression also showed a bit of awe. Although he was not on the same level as He Jin, he could also be regarded as a first-class master, or else he would not have been sent by Lu Zhenxuan to protect Lu family's heir. But after seeing Gong Lixin fight, he knew he couldn’t even hold a candle to Gong Lixin's moves. It seemed that the gap between him and Gong Lixin was worlds apart. It was very likely that even He Jin was not Gong Lixin's opponent.
'How did Gong Yuanhang train his son? He's too young!' Wu Ming sighed in his heart.
After killing the zombies around him, Gong Lixin walked to the side of the cars where his group was hidden under. He whispered, "It's safe for now, hurry up and go over the wall."
"Yes, thank you Young Master Gong!" Wu Ming quickly pulled Lu Yun out. His attitude towards Gong Lixin was no longer casual but instead respectful. Looking at Gong Lixin's clean and fresh clothes, he also felt a little embarrassed. It turned out that Young Master Gong killed zombies without getting a single stain on his clothes. He had thought that Young Master Gong had no strength and relied on Wang Tao to protect him. He really was blind!
"G-g-Gong Lixin, thank you!" Lu Yun scratched his head, embarrassed. He looked at the young boy with a calm expression. His eyes were filled with eagerness.
"Stop dilly-dallying, let's hurry and escape." Wang Tao climbed out from beneath the car and pulled Gong Lixin towards the unfinished building. He urged the others while he ran.
Gong Lixin withdrew his arm from Wang Tao's hold and kicked a zombie. He went ahead and began clearing the way, the three people behind him reached the unfinished building without any trouble. Gong Lixin jumped over the three meter high wall from the ground. The people at the base of the wall were stunned. Gong Lixin reached out to them and whispered, "Come up."
"He-hea-heavenly foot work!" Ever since he saw Gong Lixin's throw, Lu Yun had been stuttering constantly. [2]
"Come on." Gong Lixin frowned slightly, leaning forward with his hand outstretched. Lu Yun, with an adoring expression, quickly stepped up to the wall.
"Oh, good! Thank you!" Lu Yun returned to Earth and held Gong Lixin's hand. Wu Ming held Lu Yun's waist and pushed him up, helping him get over the wall smoothly.
Wu Ming's body was not as bad as the young master so he didn't need Gong Lixin to pull him up. He ran a few steps up the wall before reaching the ledge and jumping over. Wang Tao could jump high, because he was the guard in the school's basketball team so, his ability to jump was naturally very strong. He used the wall as support and quickly jumped to the top, grabbing onto the ledge and going over.
"You guys go ahead, I will go see Big Brother He." Gong Lixin explained seriously. Before he jumped down, a sudden thought crossed his mind. Turning to face Wu Ming, he said, "Big Brother Wu, drag the homeless man into the building or else, when he wakes up, he will cause a ruckus again and lead the zombies over."
"Young Master Gong, let Wang Tao do this. I am going with you to find my brother." Wu Ming waved his hand, his eyes filled with anxiety.
"No need, I will bring him back soon. Brother He will be fine, you can rest assured." Gong Lixin shook his head. He was very clear about He Jin's location. It would be a breeze to bring him back. He doesn't need a helper.
"Then I'll leave it to you Young Master Gong! Your kindness, this Wu Ming won't forget." [3] Wu Ming and He Jin had the same mindset. Seeing how Young Master Gong was braving hardship and danger in order to save the other made Wu Ming feel grateful. But, it also made him sorrowful knowing that he'd be getting in the way if he followed the boy. Nowadays, they were in a society filled with indifference and poison. Very few people in today's society were as kind as Young Master Gong.
In fact, Gong Lixin had a simple and pure mindset. Whoever was good to him, whoever was bad to him, his heart would remember and he will repay the favor in due course. He Jin took care of him along the way and regarded him with kindness. For Gong Lixin, rescuing He Jin was a matter of course. As for other's gratitude towards him, he turned his head and forgot about it. He didn't need others repaying him and neither did he need their gratitude.
In a corner not far from the unfinished building, He Jin held a steel pipe in his hand and had climbed to the roof of a large truck. He frowned whenever he looked down at the group of zombies. His face was cold.
The zombies were mad and hungry; they kept shaking the truck, making it sway and bang against the ground. More zombies were attracted by the sound. And with this many zombies, it was a matter of time before the truck fell over. He smashed his blood-stained steel pipe, before kneeling on one knee and gasping for breath. Even in such a hopeless situation, no trace of fear or despair could be seen on his face.
When he first began getting into fights, he had expected such a day would come. However, he was still reluctant to be swallowed by these zombies. So he decided to fight and kill as many as he could in order to help mankind, no matter how small that contribution was. In fact, he could easily create a bloody road and take care of all these zombies, but he knows that these things are very poisonous. One brush against his skin would be the end. So he had to fight while remaining unscathed making things quite difficult.
He Jin's eyes narrowed as he gripped the steel pipe tightly. His gaze was as sharp as knives, and as fierce as axes. He straightened up and prepared himself to jump and kill as many zombies as he could. [4]

But after seeing Gong Lixin fight, he knew he couldn't even hold a candle to Gong Lixin's moves. It seemed that the gap between him and Gong Lixin was worlds apart. It was very likely that even He Jin was not Gong Lixin's opponent. 'How did Gong Yuanhang train his son? He's too young!' Wu Ming sighed in his heart.After killing the zombies around him, Gong Lixin walked to the side of the cars where his group was hidden under. He whispered, "It's safe for now, hurry up and go over the wall.""Yes, thank you Young Master Gong!" Wu Ming quickly pulled Lu Yun out. His attitude towards Gong Lixin was no longer casual but instead respectful. Looking at Gong Lixin's clean and fresh clothes, he also felt a little embarrassed. It turned out that Young Master Gong killed zombies without getting a single stain on his clothes. He had thought that Young Master Gong had no strength and relied on Wang Tao to protect him. He really was blind!"G-g-Gong Lixin, thank you!" Lu Yun scratched his head, embarrassed. He looked at the young boy with a calm expression. His eyes were filled with eagerness. "Stop dilly-dallying, let's hurry and escape." Wang Tao climbed out from beneath the car and pulled Gong Lixin towards the unfinished building. He urged the others while he ran.Gong Lixin withdrew his arm from Wang Tao's hold and kicked a zombie. He went ahead and began clearing the way, the three people behind him reached the unfinished building without any trouble. Gong Lixin jumped over the three meter high wall from the ground. The people at the base of the wall were stunned. Gong Lixin reached out to them and whispered, "Come up.""He-hea-heavenly foot work!" Ever since he saw Gong Lixin's throw, Lu Yun had been stuttering constantly. 2"Come on." Gong Lixin frowned slightly, leaning forward with his hand outstretched. Lu Yun, with an adoring expression, quickly stepped up to the wall. "Oh, good! Thank you!" Lu Yun returned to Earth and held Gong Lixin's hand. Wu Ming held Lu Yun's waist and pushed him up, helping him get over the wall smoothly.Wu Ming's body was not as bad as the young master so he didn't need Gong Lixin to pull him up. He ran a few steps up the wall before reaching the ledge and jumping over. Wang Tao could jump high, because he was the guard in the school's basketball team so, his ability to jump was naturally very strong. He used the wall as support and quickly jumped to the top, grabbing onto the ledge and going over."You guys go ahead, I will go see Big Brother He." Gong Lixin explained seriously. Before he jumped down, a sudden thought crossed his mind. Turning to face Wu Ming, he said, "Big Brother Wu, drag the homeless man into the building or else, when he wakes up, he will cause a ruckus again and lead the zombies over.""Young Master Gong, let Wang Tao do this. I am going with you to find my brother." Wu Ming waved his hand, his eyes filled with anxiety. "No need, I will bring him back soon. Brother He will be fine, you can rest assured." Gong Lixin shook his head. He was very clear about He Jin's location. It would be a breeze to bring him back. He doesn't need a helper."Then I'll leave it to you Young Master Gong! Your kindness, this Wu Ming won't forget." 3 Wu Ming and He Jin had the same mindset. Seeing how Young Master Gong was braving hardship and danger in order to save the other made Wu Ming feel grateful. But, it also made him sorrowful knowing that he'd be getting in the way if he followed the boy. Nowadays, they were in a society filled with indifference and poison. Very few people in today's society were as kind as Young Master Gong.In fact, Gong Lixin had a simple and pure mindset. Whoever was good to him, whoever was bad to him, his heart would remember and he will repay the favor in due course. He Jin took care of him along the way and regarded him with kindness. For Gong Lixin, rescuing He Jin was a matter of course. As for other's gratitude towards him, he turned his head and forgot about it. He didn't need others repaying him and neither did he need their gratitude.In a corner not far from the unfinished building, He Jin held a steel pipe in his hand and had climbed to the roof of a large truck. He frowned whenever he looked down at the group of zombies. His face was cold. The zombies were mad and hungry; they kept shaking the truck, making it sway and bang against the ground. More zombies were attracted by the sound. And with this many zombies, it was a matter of time before the truck fell over. He smashed his blood-stained steel pipe, before kneeling on one knee and gasping for breath. Even in such a hopeless situation, no trace of fear or despair could be seen on his face.When he first began getting into fights, he had expected such a day would come. However, he was still reluctant to be swallowed by these zombies. So he decided to fight and kill as many as he could in order to help mankind, no matter how small that contribution was. In fact, he could easily create a bloody road and take care of all these zombies, but he knows that these things are very poisonous. One brush against his skin would be the end. So he had to fight while remaining unscathed making things quite difficult.He Jin's eyes narrowed as he gripped the steel pipe tightly. His gaze was as sharp as knives, and as fierce as axes. He straightened up and prepared himself to jump and kill as many zombies as he could. 41 AutumnBreeze: Another person joining Gong Lixin's Cult?
