Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

99: Arrested[At this moment, Xiao Lizi was standing not far from Ling Feng. After the smoke drifted to her side, her reaction was completely different from Ling Feng’s.]

[As soon as Xiao Lizi smelled the smoke, her head began to spin, as if countless tiny insects were crawling around inside her head.]

[She felt her thoughts becoming chaotic, and her body gradually slipped from her control.]

[It felt like being tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand; no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break free.]

[Enduring the dizziness, Xiao Lizi forced out a weak voice and said to the Zombie King Ling Feng, ”Ling Feng, I’m going to relieve myself!”]

[Her voice carried a hint of trembling, as if conveying her current unease to Ling Feng.]

[Zombie King Ling Feng glanced at Xiao Lizi, a flash of impatience in his eyes as he muttered, ”Humans are so troublesome, always needing to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. Hurry up!”]

[In his view, these human physiological needs were very tedious matters, far less simple and direct than those of a zombie.]

[Xiao Lizi was extremely anxious; she felt like a manipulated puppet, the words coming out of her mouth not being her own intention at all.]

[She desperately wanted to control her body and tell Ling Feng that something was wrong, but that strange power left her helpless.]

[She could only watch helplessly as her body was controlled, walking outside step by step.]

[Outside the base, the zombies lowered their heads one after another as they saw Xiao Lizi approaching.]

[They knew she was the King’s woman, and none dared to be disrespectful.]

[Although these zombies looked hideous and terrifying, under the authority of Zombie King Ling Feng, they were like a flock of gentle sheep, obediently making way for Xiao Lizi.]

[Xiao Lizi watched her body walk further away, while Zombie King Ling Feng remained where he was, completely unaware.]

[She was both angry and anxious, complaining in her heart: This blockhead, storing grain is just a wave of the hand, doesn’t he even know to come out and look for me?]

[If the wrongly accused Ling Feng knew what Xiao Lizi was thinking, he would surely feel very aggrieved!]

[He remembered what Xiao Lizi had told him before: ”You must never peek when I’m using the bathroom!”]

[These words were like a binding curse, making him afraid to easily go out and search for her even though he noticed she had been gone for quite a while.]

[He could only stand silently in place, waiting for Xiao Lizi to return.]

[With her body under control, Xiao Lizi walked step by step toward a nearby spot.]

[Her heart was filled with fear and confusion as her feet moved uncontrollably; every step felt like treading on blades, and cold sweat kept breaking out on her forehead.]

[As she mechanically walked to that seemingly ordinary area, a black shadow suddenly darted out like lightning from behind some nearby ruins.]

[Looking closely, it was actually a massive python! This python was as thick as a water bucket, its scales shimmering with a cold luster. Its triangular head was held high, flicking a bright red tongue and making a hair-raising ”hissing” sound.]

[Xiao Lizi’s eyes widened instantly, the terror on her face like a zoomed-in movie frame.]

[Her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat, and The Brain went blank. She instinctively wanted to let out a scream loud enough to pierce the clouds to vent her extreme fear.]

[However, the power controlling her was like an invisible shackle, tightly locking her throat so that she couldn’t make even a sound.]

[She could only watch as the large python twisted its thick body, slowly approaching her. The sound of every scale rubbing together was like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper, pounding heavily on her heart.]

[Xiao Lizi closed her eyes in despair, a horrific scene of being swallowed whole by the python surfacing in her mind, her blood seemingly freezing in her veins.]

[But the expected intense pain did not come. When she opened her eyes again, she found the python had merely wrapped its thick body gently around her and was now moving rapidly like a gust of wind.]

[The wind whistled past her ears, and she could clearly feel the python’s rough scales rubbing against her skin.]

[Clearly, this was no ordinary python, but a snake that had mutated in the cruel environment of the Apocalypse and possessed a Special Ability—specifically, a speed-type Special Ability.]

[Its speed was astonishing; the surrounding scenery receded like a phantom, and Xiao Lizi felt as if she were on a wild, high-speed journey.]

[Before long, the Mutated Snake brought Xiao Lizi before a strange woman.]

[This woman wore a black tight-fitting combat suit; she was tall and vigorous, with long black hair draped casually over her shoulders and eyes that revealed a cold, cunning light.]

[She looked the python-wrapped Xiao Lizi up and down, her lips curling into a cold smile as she said chillingly, ”I’ve finally caught you!”]

[Xiao Lizi’s heart was full of anger and confusion. She was about to open her mouth to demand why this strange woman had captured her, but before she could speak, a strange power surged toward her like a tide.]

[She felt her vision spin, her consciousness began to blur, and her body went limp as if she were falling into an endless dark abyss, instantly losing consciousness.]

[The strange woman looked at the unconscious Xiao Lizi, a hint of vigilance flashing in her eyes.]

[She turned to the several subordinates in black hiding behind her and said, ”Take her away, move fast! Otherwise, if the Zombie King catches up, we’ll still need to set traps. We must eliminate the Zombie King this time; we can’t let him ruin our plans!”]

[The subordinates immediately stepped forward, carefully untying Xiao Lizi from the python and carrying her on their shoulders, quickly running toward a distant base.]

[The Mutated Snake coiled up on the spot, guarding silently and waiting for the woman’s next command, as if it were the sharpest weapon in her hand, ready for the upcoming battle at any moment.]

[Meanwhile, Ling Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, keenly sensed that the surrounding atmosphere was off.]

[His previously calm expression instantly turned tense, his brow furrowing as a trace of unease appeared in his eyes.]

[Ling Feng didn’t dare to be the least bit slack; he quickly focused his mind and activated his mental-type Special Ability.]

[In an instant, an invisible mental wave spread out from him as the center, like a fine net attempting to capture every hidden detail.]

[He focused entirely on sensing the information fed back by his Mental Energy, not letting any subtle movement escape him.]

[”Not here? Where did she go?” An anxious look appeared on Ling Feng’s face, his voice trembling slightly with tension.]

[Xiao Lizi’s disappearance made him frantic with worry; in this world full of dangers, the consequences of a weak girl being left alone were unthinkable.]

[He kept praying in his heart, hoping that Xiao Lizi would be safe.]

[Ling Feng thought of the zombies he had subdued outside; perhaps they could provide some clues.]

[He stepped outside quickly and let out a questioning ”Roar, roar?” to a group of zombies, his voice tinged with urgency.]

[”Roar, roar, roar!” A larger zombie responded to Ling Feng while pointing a thick claw in a certain direction, seemingly telling him which way Xiao Lizi had gone.]

[Ling Feng didn’t think much of it; the situation was urgent, and he didn’t have time for careful consideration.]

[He immediately used his Space Ability, his body seemingly merging with space as he vanished instantly and reappeared on a distant street.]

[As he hurried along, he didn’t relax for a second, continuing to scan with his mental-type Special Ability, not missing any possible corner.]

[However, after searching all the way, there was still no sign of Xiao Lizi.]

[Just as he was feeling incredibly anxious, a peculiar scent reached his nose.]

[It was the scent of a python, mixed with Xiao Lizi’s unique faint fragrance.]

[Ling Feng’s eyes lit up instantly, and he followed the scent, his pace becoming even more urgent.]

[Finally, in a secluded parking lot, Ling Feng found a group of humans.]

[They were carrying the unconscious Xiao Lizi, preparing to load her into a van, seemingly planning to flee.]

[Ling Feng’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot, a fire of rage burning fiercely from the bottom of his heart.]

[He let out an angry roar, ”Roar!” The roar echoed over the silent parking lot like a clap of thunder.]

[Ling Feng’s roar seemed like a special command, instantly summoning nearby zombies.]

[A group of zombies swarmed from all directions, baring their claws and letting out low growls as they surrounded the group of humans.]

[The woman’s face changed drastically, her eyes full of terror and anger as she cursed through gritted teeth, ”Damn it, how could he be so fast!” Her voice became shrill with fear.]

[”Get in the car!” the woman shouted at the top of her lungs, trying to get her companions to flee the dangerous place quickly.]

[However, one of them said with a long face, ”It’s no use, there are zombies everywhere!”]

[His voice carried a hint of despair, and his body trembled slightly with fear.]

[”Then kill them!” the woman said viciously, a ruthless glint in her eyes.]

[She knew there was no way back now; they had to give it their all.]

[”Baldy, watch that woman!”]

[The bald man took the order and stared intently at the unconscious Xiao Lizi!]

[Ling Feng stood to the side, watching all of this with cold eyes.]

[His fists were tightly clenched, his knuckles bulging with veins from the force.]

[His entire body emitted a chilling aura; every inch of his skin seemed etched with endless slaughter and rage.]

[His messy and wild long hair flew freely in the wind like burning flames, manifesting his kingly majesty.]

[His eyes were like deep black holes, flashing with bloodthirsty light as he stared fixedly at these wretched humans.]

[In this Apocalypse, these humans resorted to any means to survive; their greed and selfishness had long since left this land riddled with holes.]

[Hua Tuo of the Silver Time Dimension: Can that Gu insect really control people?]

[Silver Time-Space Zhang Fei: Hey! You doctor, why are you always only interested in these things? That poor girl is already so pitiable, and you’re still thinking about research!]

[Hua Tuo of the Silver Time Dimension: What else? Should I jump in and help her?]

[Iron Time-Space A Kou: Master Xiu’s Mind-Capturing Technique can control people’s hearts and even their movements, but something like a Gu insect entering the body is truly hair-raising!]

[Illusion Time-Space: We also have this type of control Special Ability!]

[Ding Dang from the Copper Universe: Do we have it in our time-space?]

[Wood Time-Space: The Zombie King’s roar instantly makes all zombies obey him; it’s really cool!]

[Sun Ce: Absolute submission—how does he do it?]

[Wang Yase: Maybe The Brain’s structure is different from a human’s?]}
