Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

105: Last gamble[Time passed like a white horse galloping across a gap, and the despair in Ling Feng’s heart grew day by day.]

[He tirelessly infused the zombie virus into Little Chestnut’s body every day, but it had no effect, leaving him feeling utterly frustrated and helpless.]

[However, it was somewhat comforting that although Little Chestnut’s body showed no changes, at least it did not rot or smell like other corpses.]

[This allowed Ling Feng to breathe a slight sigh of relief; after all, he didn’t want to see Little Chestnut’s body become unrecognizable.]

[Ling Feng’s gaze gradually became sinister as he stared fixedly at the human Survival Base, secretly making up his mind to stake everything on one throw of the dice.]

[He knew full well that his strength alone was no longer enough to save Little Chestnut. Only by relying on the power of the zombies could there be a glimmer of hope.]

[Thinking of this, Ling Feng suddenly threw his head back toward the sky and let out a low, mournful roar: ”Roar! Roar... ”]

[This roar seemed to be a summons, a call to the zombies.]

[At the same time Ling Feng roared, zombies all across the country seemed to receive some kind of order. They all stopped what they were doing in unison and tilted their heads back to roar in response: ”Roar!”]

[This eerie scene made all humans’ skin crawl, and an ominous premonition surged in their hearts.]

[The teams of Ability Users out on missions immediately recalled that terrifying zombie siege from years ago. The scenes from back then were still vivid in their minds, leaving them with lingering fears.]

[”Quick! Return to the base and notify everyone! This is the Zombie King summoning the zombies!” someone shouted in terror.]

[However, some people chose to stay outside. They believed that returning to the base would only lead to being surrounded by layers of zombies, whereas staying outside might offer a glimmer of hope.]

[”No... don’t go back. If we go back, we’ll have to face a siege. There’s still a chance out here!”]

[”No... I have to go back. My family is still at the base!”]

[Opinions were divided; some chose to flee, while others chose to hold their ground. Ling Feng’s action undoubtedly brought immense panic and crisis to humanity.]

[At this moment, all sorts of thoughts emerged in everyone’s minds, creating clear divisions between them.]

[However, facing such a massive crisis, no one had time to argue or delay! Thus, everyone took action and went their separate ways.]

[Those Ability Users who did not return to the base hurriedly looked for places to hide, hoping to avoid the zombie attacks.]

[Meanwhile, the Ability Users staying in the base watched the zombies surging in like a tide, their hearts filled with despair.]

[”It’s over. We humans are finished!” someone lamented.]

[However, amidst this chaos and despair, Ling Feng arrived quietly at the rear of the zombie horde, holding the seemingly fast-asleep Little Chestnut.]

[He issued an order without hesitation: ”Roar! Attack!”]

[As his voice fell, the zombies surged frantically toward the human base as if driven by some force.]

[The Ability Users in the base were not to be outdone either; they fought a life-and-death struggle against the zombies with all their might.]

[Wave after wave of zombies fell under the attacks of the Ability Users, but even more zombies surged forward in a continuous stream.]

[Once the human Ability Users fell, they were quickly dragged aside by others. No one had any time to treat them at all.]

[In this tragic battle, the lucky ones might be saved by their companions before turning into zombies, keeping their lives; but the unlucky ones could only be devoured by zombies in despair or killed by their own companions before turning.]

[All of this was witnessed by Ling Feng, who stood behind the zombie horde. He watched the heavy casualties of the battle coldly, remaining indifferent to both humans and zombies.]

[Zombie King Ling Feng stood on high ground, overlooking the humans and zombies below. His bloodshot eyes revealed a sense of coldness and determination.]

[He quietly observed the situation and felt the timing was ripe. He waved his hand, signaling the zombies to pause their attack.]

[The zombies immediately stopped their actions. As if under a spell, they became quiet in an instant.]

[Then, he took a deep breath and leaped. He actually rose into the air like a bird!]

[He said in a deep voice, ”Hand over your Healing-type Ability Users!”]

[This scene stunned everyone present. Whether they were Ability Users or ordinary humans, they were all shocked by Ling Feng’s actions, their mouths agape.]

[Especially the human leader; he widened his eyes, looking at Ling Feng in disbelief, secretly marveling in his heart: ”The Zombie King can actually stand in mid-air? How is this possible?”]

[The other Ability Users also breathed a sigh of relief. Exhausted, they collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.]

[After a long period of fighting, they were already spent. Now they finally had a moment to catch their breath.]

[However, the peace on the human side did not last long. When they heard Ling Feng’s demand, doubt and confusion flooded their hearts.]

[”What does he want a Healing-type Ability User for?” someone asked in confusion.]

[”No matter what he wants to do, we absolutely cannot hand over the Healing-type Ability Users!” another person said firmly.]

[While people were discussing animatedly, someone suddenly noticed the girl Ling Feng was holding in his arms.]

[”Look, the girl in his arms doesn’t seem to be a zombie?”]

[”What?” Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes toward the girl in Ling Feng’s arms.]

[An Olfactory Ability User sniffed the air and then said with certainty: ”She’s dead! I can’t smell the scent of a living person on her!”]

[”Then why is the Zombie King holding a dead human girl?”]

[Someone speculated, ”Could it be that the Zombie King has fallen in love with a human girl?”]

[This speculation plunged people into deeper confusion. They really couldn’t understand how a Zombie King could develop feelings for a human.]

[Ling Feng did not have the patience to wait for the humans’ idle chatter. His sinister gaze fell on the humans again, and his voice repeated coldly: ”Hand over the Healing-type Ability Users!”]

[Facing Ling Feng’s threat, the human leader did not back down. He replied righteously: ”Impossible!”]

[Another person turned pale, their body trembling slightly, and explained stutteringly: ”Even if a Healing-type Ability User has the most powerful abilities, they absolutely cannot bring someone back from the dead!”]

[”Exactly, exactly. You could just turn her into a zombie; wouldn’t that be much simpler?” someone chimed in.]

[However, after hearing these words, Ling Feng’s emotions became increasingly frenzied. He roared: ”Turn her into a zombie? If I could easily turn her into a zombie, I would have done it long ago! Hand over the Healing-type Ability Users now!”]

[The base leader gazed at the frenzied Zombie King before him and the restless zombies, knowing deep down that the situation had reached a critical moment. He absolutely could not let humanity go extinct here!]

[Thus, he closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and said in a low, firm voice: ”Go bring Jiang Mili here!”]

[However, as soon as he spoke, the others around him immediately exploded in protest.]

[”Base Chief, this absolutely won’t do!”]

[”Base Chief, you mustn’t do this! Jiang Mili’s ability is only at the Fifth Rank; it won’t be of any use at all!”]
