Chapter 10

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After identifying the criminal, Ling Yichen asked the Hidden Shadow Spider to climb down and help him deal with the zombies.

It was too time-consuming and inappropriate to use the keyhole to open the lock.

The zombies had just turned into zombies and their bodily functions had not been completely transformed. Thus, they were not very agile, but they were not slow snails either.

It was not a completely hopeless situation now, because even if he really could not defeat them, he could just release all the Worker Bees.

Although the Worker Bees could barely deal any damage, they could fly. Each of them was more than a meter long and was big enough.

Ling Yichen had never thought of letting the Worker Bees bring him up. The Worker Bees were not that strong. He only needed to use their bodies as a stepping stone and jump to the second floor.

Ling Yichen could no longer be considered an ordinary human. Although he could not jump up directly, if there was a Worker Bee in the air for him to step on, he could still jump up.

However, he did not do that because it would hurt the Worker Bees or even let them be killed by the zombies.

Currently, Ling Yichen had too few insects on hand. Even if they were Worker Bees, Ling Yichen did not want to ignore them casually.

Moreover, the territory outside was quite big. It was not so easy to exhaust his stamina.

He was cautious, but it did not mean that he could not defeat this group of zombies.

After all, he was the man known as the Undying Demon God. Ordinary people couldn’t compare with him in terms of the combat skills he had trained in the apocalypse, his understanding of the human body structure, and his willpower that far exceeded ordinary people.

Furthermore, Ling Yichen had placed the nail gun in the Insect Nest Demiplane. At such a close distance, if he fired the nail gun ten times in a row, he could guarantee that a head would explode with every shot!

Even though the nail might not be able to pierce through the skull, it could easily penetrate soft tissue like the eye.

In the Middle Ages, an operation to cut the frontal lobe to treat mental illness involved stabbing an ice pick through the eye into the brain and crushing the frontal lobe.

In theory, one could pierce a sharp object into the brain through the eye.

It could pierce through the eyes and into the brain!

In the apocalypse, Ling Yichen had even touched a Barrett and practiced the operation of various firearms. Even if the nail gun was very irregular and there might be a deviation in its accuracy, he would not make a mistake at such a close distance.

In addition, the Hidden Shadow Spider was also guarding the side and could launch a sneak attack on the zombies from time to time. He would not lose!

There were only 25 zombies left in front of him. As long as the zombies further away were not attracted over, Ling Yichen could guarantee that he could wipe out this group of zombies!

The Hidden Shadow Spider did not hold back its trump card. Instead, it used its skill, [Shadow Transformation]!

After using this skill, the Hidden Shadow Spider’s body seemed to have turned into a black shadow. It was illusory, as if it had fused with the shadow of a building and was moving at high speed.

This was the Shadow Transformation skill. The darker the place, the more advantageous it was.

In the dark night, this skill was a godly skill. Unless the opponent used an AoE battle technique, it would not cause any damage to them. This also made Shadow-type Evolvers known as the undefeatable kings of the dark night.

The black shadow, which the Hidden Shadow Spider had transformed into, shuttled quickly on the ground. It could even jump with its spider legs and jump onto the zombie’s head, inserting its forelimbs into their eyes.

The battle lasted for four minutes, and Ling Yichen was panting a little. On the ground, zombie corpses had already fallen.

It was a little tiring, but it was not a big deal. As long as he replenished his energy with food, Ling Yichen would quickly recover to his peak state.

After putting all the zombie corpses on the ground into the Insect Nest Demiplane, Ling Yichen inserted the key into the hole.

Usually, other than Ling Yichen, no one else would use such an ancient method to open the main door.

That person must have seen Ling Yichen using the key in the past and guessed that Ling Yichen had lost his key card. That was why he thought of using this method to trick Ling Yichen.

Oh?

Ling Yichen realized that he could not open the door. Could it be that something had been done inside?

How ruthless!

“Hehe, Hidden Shadow Spider, climb in and take a look.” Ling Yichen sneered.

Unlike some protagonists in post-apocalyptic novels who killed wantonly and lawlessly, Ling Yichen knew that in the future, if humans wanted to survive and reproduce, the population was very important. As the leader of the human race, he naturally knew this.

Under the premise that it did not affect him, he had a certain perspective of the overall situation. He was not the Holy Mother, but this was a thought developed after being the leader of the human race for many years.

However, if they provoked him, he would not care about population issues. He had even slaughtered a city, let alone one person!

The Hidden Shadow Spider climbed to the window on the second floor and then to the first floor with great ease. Only then did it realize that the revolving switch at the main door was entangled by a rope, and the other end of the rope was tied to the stair railing.

This way, unless he could break the rope when he opened the lock, if no one came to untie the rope, he could only stay outside and fight the zombies.

This was ruthless, truly ruthless.

Could it be that this person had some enmity with him?

The Hidden Shadow Spider used its sharp forelimbs and mouthparts to quickly destroy the rope.

As soon as Ling Yichen opened the main door, he took down the rope from the rotating switch.

This rope was the kind of rope used to jump rope. It was really difficult to break it by pulling the door.

“Lead the way, Hidden Shadow Spider.”

Upon hearing this, the Hidden Shadow Spider followed the man’s scent and kept climbing upstairs.

Ling Yichen’s expression was indifferent as he walked up the stairs until he stopped at the door of a certain house.

Too much time had passed. Ling Yichen had long forgotten which neighbors lived in this building. In his memory, they seemed to be dead.

Without knocking, Ling Yichen knew that the man would pretend that there was no one inside.

Ling Yichen took two steps back, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and waited.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a commotion in the room. The sound of fragile objects falling to the ground, the sound of things being smashed, and a man’s scream sounded one after another.

Immediately after, the security door was opened, revealing the person inside.

It was him!

Ling Yichen recognized this person at a glance. It was the young man who had abandoned his father and fled alone.

Did this guy have a grudge against him?

Ling Yichen had no impression of it.

If Ling Yichen remembered correctly, this young man’s name was Li Jia’an. He was quite an honest name, but he lived like the complete opposite.

He was ignorant and incompetent. He had out of high school and accomplished nothing. He lived off the old at home. Furthermore, he was an old hand at nightclubs and a regular at hotels…

Ling Yichen’s impression of Li Jia’an was like this. He heard that his father, who had been abandoned by Li Jia’an and escaped alone, had lost his wife at an early age as she had died in childbirth. Thus, he doted on his son very much. That was how Li Jia’an was raised.

The word ‘trash’ seemed to be tailor-made for him.
