Chapter 33: The Betrayal of Teammates

A stream of fire rose into the sky. The fire wasn’t so eye-catching during the day, but it went quite high nevertheless. On the ground, scorch marks could be seen all over the place.

Xie Dong and the other four stood in a group, trying their best to defend against the zombies in front of them with their superpowers. At that moment, the five of them looked miserable, their eyes revealing their despair.

This team with one level-four, one-level three, and three level-two superpowered human beings was already a remarkable team. Outside the bases, this team would even have a chance against a level-four superpowered zombie.

However, they weren’t facing a level-four zombie right now, but a level-five one!

The five of them had already been surrounded by a great number of ordinary zombies. Under the control of the level-five zombie, they pounced on this group of people like crazy.

They opened their mouths wide, their eyes filled with a greedy appetite for food. Stretching out their arms, they curled their hands into claws and attempted to approach and rip those human beings apart.

Xie Dong and the other four stood back to back in a circle, releasing their powers to attack the zombies which had jumped on them.

Being supported by Huang Xiao’s wind power, Xie Dong built a round fire wall, keeping his teammates and himself inside. The zombies which dared to come near them would be set ablaze by the fire immediately.

In front of the zombie group was a scrawny figure, its eyes sparkling with a wild sharpness and a frosty lust for killing.

It looked like a man in his forties or fifties, but its body had changed too much already. One could roughly tell its age before death, but could no longer see how he would have had looked originally.

At this moment, its pitch black eyes were sparkling with a distinct red light. The light was vertical and looked like the pupils of a wild beast. This creature bent its spine and stood there with its legs straightened, its deformed hands dropping by its sides. Those hands had become huge, with fingers which were twice as long as those of normal human beings. Its sharp fingernails were three whole decimeters long, and looked incredibly hard.

Other than its dark eyes with their red glow, this zombie had a mouth that had cracked open from ear to ear. As this mouth wasn’t open at the moment, it showed up only as a rough crack which was stained with fresh blood.

It calmly looked at the five human beings inside the encirclement of the ordinary zombies. Its eyes didn’t contain the desperate appetite for food that the other zombies had been showing.

This was a level-five zombie leader. A zombie of this level could not only control hundreds of ordinary zombies and make them follow its directions, but also control a small number of intelligent zombies.

An example of that was the two by its side right now.

The level-five zombie had a very strong vibe, for which reason, the intelligent zombies beside it dared not to go against its will. Otherwise, they would end up being torn into pieces, and their zombie nuclei would be devoured.

At this moment, Xie Dong and the other few had seen the calm zombie in front of them and recognized that it was a level-five zombie leader. With despair in their eyes, they were still unwilling to give up and kept on fighting. While crazily attacking the ordinary zombies around the fire wall, they had been trying to think of a way to escape.

However, they all understood that there was no escape from this level-five zombie.

There were over ten people in this team, but by this time, only the five strongest had survived. The rest of the team had already been torn into pieces and eaten by the group of zombies.

At this point, Xie Dong regretted leaving with his teammates the day before instead of strictly leading them to follow the army. Now, his presentiment had actually come true. That dangerous feeling of being targeted turned out to have originated from this level-five zombie.

None of the five said anything, because any words would be useless right now.

At this moment, a dark expression flashed across Huang Xiao’s eyes. He glanced at Xie Dong, who was by his side, then winked at the other few people. The other three people immediately showed their understanding in the eyes.

By this time, Xie Dong was barely hanging on. He had used too much of his superpower, and his energy nucleus was already showing signs of exhaustion right now. However, he dared not to stop, because once he did, the other people wouldn’t even last for thirty seconds before they were torn apart by the zombies that had pounced on them.

Besides, the zombie leader hadn’t even made a move, and neither did the intelligent zombies by its side. They had all been standing over there quietly, watching and waiting for Xie Dong and his teammates to die of exhaustion.

“I can’t hold on any longer! My energy is running out. We need to think of a way to survive!” Even though the expression on Xie Dong’s chiseled face could still be considered calm, his face was a little pale. The sweat oozed out of his forehead and dripped down his face drop by drop.

At this moment, Huang Xiao’s eyes suddenly shone. He gave a slight nod at the other three, then turned his head and said to Xie Dong, “I have an idea that might buy us some time, but…”

Hearing him, Xie Dong was delighted. He was truly convinced that Huang Xiao had a good idea.

“What idea?” He asked hurriedly.

A faint sneer flashed across Huang Xiao’s face as he laughed, “The idea is… using you as a shield!”

While speaking, he suddenly restrained his power, then turned around and kicked out, directly smashing the unprepared Xie Dong away. Next, the four of them suddenly clasped hands and disappeared from where they were.

Seeing Xie Dong being kicked out with no defense, all the surrounding zombies paused briefly, then pounced on him violently. On the other side, Huang Xiao and the others took the opportunity to enter the space which belonged to one of them within a blink of an eye.

Xie Dong’s face turned extremely dark when he was kicked away. He had never expected to be betrayed by his teammates. But fortunately, he had a top-grade capacity for reaction. After all, he had spent his time in the special forces.

The moment he was kicked out, he hurriedly flipped through the air and the fire on his hands shrank, swiftly wrapping him within a fireball.

The zombies that were pouncing on him got in contact with his fire and started to burn.

“Huang-Xiao!” Xie Dong called out Huang Xiao’s name through clenched teeth, his voice containing a strong hatred and disbelief.

He knew that Huang Xiao had never liked him, but he didn’t think that he would actually go so far as to betray him. Huang Xiao actually wanted him to be eaten by these zombies.

Besides, someone with space power actually existed among them, having a space that had air, so people could stay inside without being suffocated. Xie Dong knew nothing about this! Those few people had always been on Huang Xiao’s side, and had ganged up with him. They kept the space power a secret from Xie Dong, and actually joined hands to kick him out.

Earlier on, he had tried so hard to protect those people, but every single one of them turned out to be ungrateful, brutal, and cold-blooded!

Xie Dong figured that Huang Xiao and the others must have been waiting for him to use up his energy before making their move. After all, only in this way would he die for sure!

It turned out that they had been plotting against him the whole time. No wonder when he fought together with Huang Xiao earlier on, he felt that the latter hadn’t put in his greatest efforts. Back then, he thought that Huang Xiao’s superpower was running out as well, but as he reconsidered things now, he found how wrong he had been.
