Cooking Gourmet Meals in the Apocalypse

Chapter 344: Chapter 342: Fine Needle Rain

’Damn it!’

When Chen Xing saw that the zombie horde wasn’t attacking the United States team at all, she immediately warned Xiao Li and Little Chen to be careful.

Someone from the United States’ side had the ability to control zombies.

Otherwise... there was no way the zombies would ignore a team of six or seven hundred Superpower Users to come after them.

Chen Xing’s Spiritual Ability was already past Level Nine and had even reached Full Level with the help of her space, yet she couldn’t control zombies for that long.

Clearly, someone on the other side could communicate directly with the zombies.

Her eyes swept over the group, finally landing on Cheng Cheng.

Besides her, no one else should be capable of it.

’So... that’s why she’d always found Cheng Cheng to be so special?’

She watched as the approaching horde of zombies began to slam against the Defense Shield like madmen.

Although the Defense Shield was sturdy, everything had its limits.

Not even steel could withstand such a relentless assault!

Chen Xing’s heart ached for it.

But... it seemed to be holding up for now.

After all, it had been upgraded to the highest level by her space.

Xiao Li and Little Chen were already busy, glancing at the Defense Shield from time to time, worried it might break.

The two of them weren’t weak, but they couldn’t hold out against so many zombies.

They couldn’t kill them faster than they were charging in.

Chen Xing immediately activated her Spiritual Ability as well.

She instantly located the Spiritual Zombie hiding within the horde.

The creature was actually Level Nine. If she hadn’t upgraded again, she really wouldn’t have been able to detect it.

Even so, it was only temporary.

She couldn’t control it for long. Plus, with someone on the enemy side already controlling the zombies, this key Spiritual Zombie could only be held motionless under her power for two seconds.

She knew she couldn’t win by relying on her Spiritual Ability alone.

So, Chen Xing immediately used her Jiezhi Space to leave the defensive circle and enter the zombie horde.

She knew the Spiritual Zombie’s general location and wanted to try controlling it from up close.

But... the moment she stepped outside the defensive circle, she felt cracks appear on the Defense Shield.

In a panic, she returned inside the circle almost instantaneously.

As she retracted the Defense Shield with her superpower, she simultaneously gathered her Gold Attribute Superpower and began to counterattack.

Above her, countless fine needles appeared, arranged in neat rows as if placed there by an unseen hand.

With a wave of her hand, they scattered around her like a rain of needles, falling upon the zombie horde.

To the astonishment of the onlookers, several hundred zombies around her collapsed in an instant.

Immediately after, another wave of needle rain descended.

At this rate, it seemed impossible for the zombies to even get close.

Seeing the situation turn sour, Cheng Cheng immediately charged forward.

Several Ice Mallets materialized in her hands and flew toward Chen Xing.

The Defense Shield that Chen Xing had retracted instantly reappeared.

The previously cracked Defense Shield was once again as sturdy as it was initially.

’How fortunate that she had retracted it in time.’

The thing repaired itself instantly upon being retracted.

As long as it didn’t shatter completely, it could still be saved.

In that short time, the distant zombie horde had drawn near again and launched a new round of attacks on the Defense Shield.

Chen Xing felt a massive headache coming on.

She couldn’t leave; it seemed the Defense Shield became fragile the moment she stepped away from it.

But if she didn’t leave, how could she capture the Spiritual Zombie?

’Forget it!’

’Time to kill!’

Having gotten a taste of her Gold Ability’s power, Chen Xing gathered her superpower, and countless fine needles flew out from within the Defense Shield, felling zombies in droves.

Cheng Cheng had been hoping to wait until Chen Xing’s superpower was exhausted before making a move.

But half an hour passed, and while the two men inside the Defense Shield had replenished their energy with Crystal Cores several times, Chen Xing’s superpower showed no signs of running out at all.

At a life-or-death moment like this, Chen Xing wasn’t foolish enough to hold back.

She had watched the videos on the USB drive her mother had left behind when she was alone.

They recorded her daily life with her mother—days that couldn’t have been more ordinary, yet were filled to the brim with happiness.

Chen Xing knew that was what her mother had used all her effort to leave for her.

Uncle Zhong’s people could be trusted, but as for these people outside... none of them were leaving here today.

Chen Xing, who had been dealing with the zombies in a conventional manner, suddenly changed the direction of her newly formed needles, sending them flying toward the Superpower Users from the United States.

It was too sudden.

Most of the Superpower Users failed to dodge.

Cheng Cheng, however, was formidable. Not only did she dodge, but she also helped two others by knocking the needles away.

Before the Superpower Users hit by the needles died, Chen Xing first absorbed their superpowers.

Worried that Chen Xing would suddenly target the Superpower Users again, Cheng Cheng immediately ordered them to retreat.

But Chen Xing had no intention of letting them go.

The second wave of needles once again targeted the Superpower Users.

The zombies were mindless; it didn’t matter if she couldn’t kill them all.

But the Superpower Users? She wasn’t in the mood to spare them.

Hit by the needles once more, and though the casualties were fewer than the first time, dozens still fell in an instant.

Although no one said it, the Superpower Users were all starting to get scared.

’This woman is terrifying!’

No wonder the survivors called her a Devil.

But as they retreated, Chen Xing advanced along with them, not letting the distance between them grow at all.

Seeing this, Cheng Cheng immediately waved her arms, unleashing her maximum control.

This time, it wasn’t just the Spiritual Zombie; even the Superpower Users beside her became a little disoriented.

Cheng Cheng’s Control Power was absolutely astonishing.

Chen Xing didn’t understand why she was content to remain by Blake’s side as a mere bodyguard.

As Cheng Cheng’s Control Power intensified, the zombie horde seemed to explode, all of them hurling themselves to their deaths against the Defense Shield.

The THUD, THUD vibrated so intensely it made Chen Xing’s eardrums ache.

Some zombies even smashed their own brains out.

It was at this exact moment that Chen Xing sensed the Level Nine Spiritual Zombie was right outside the Defense Shield.

She immediately exited the Defense Shield, directly located the Spiritual Zombie, and froze it in place for two seconds.

Then, she sent an electric current across the ground, striking the Spiritual Zombie directly.

In a flash, Cheng Cheng was in front of Chen Xing with her Ice Mallets, their sharp icy points aimed straight for Chen Xing’s eyes.

She had deliberately revealed the Spiritual Zombie’s weakness to lure Chen Xing outside the Defense Shield.

The Defense Shield was protecting the other two people; another one couldn’t possibly appear to protect Chen Xing.

Just as Cheng Cheng thought she had succeeded, right as the Ice Mallets reached Chen Xing’s eyes, Chen Xing flickered and vanished.

Cheng Cheng still thrust forward with all her might.

Even with an Invisibility Ability, a person would still be severely injured if hit by an external attack.

She was certain that Chen Xing had turned invisible.

But... her vicious strike hit nothing but air.

’This is impossible!’

No Invisible Man could dodge an attack like that.

As she pulled back her hand, she felt a sharp pain in her eye socket.

As Chen Xing reappeared, the tip of a blade plunged directly into Cheng Cheng’s eye socket.

She was simply returning the favor!

Cheng Cheng cried out in pain but didn’t completely collapse.

As she retreated, her body was suddenly enveloped in a layer of white, radiant mist, dazzling as if she were underwater.
