Chapter 112 Port City (5)
To avoid attracting the attention of the "Zombie King," Gu Nanfeng and Wei Cheng opened the hatch and went out. Pei Sihao wanted to follow, but Gu Nanfeng locked him in the cabin. He glanced at the stairs to the second floor and immediately went into the cockpit. Ji Lang instantly understood Pei Sihao's idea and wanted to follow, but Lu Yuan stopped him.
Lu Yuan knew that the miniature missiles were definitely powerful, so he immediately led the two children and Ji Lang to the very back of the cabin. If anything unexpected happened later, since the two of them didn't have any special abilities, they had to be the first to run. They also had to take the two children with them and send a yacht to rescue everyone.
The battle outside was about to erupt. Just as Gu Nanfeng and Wei Cheng unleashed their lightning and vines at the "Zombie King," the "Zombie King," who was about to leap forward, suddenly stopped. Ice flowers formed beneath his feet, freezing his feet completely. An invisible aura surrounded his body, forming a cage that tightly bound the "Zombie King." Surprisingly, this heat wave did not melt the frost beneath his feet.
The frost continued to spread upwards, but the two forces of "ice and fire" only made the "Zombie King" pause for a moment. Soon, the frost that had spread to its calves exploded, and the aura surrounding its body also began to mist, as if a cold air was extinguishing the aura.
Fortunately, Wei Cheng's vines arrived just in time and bound the zombie king tightly. The zombie king grabbed Wei Cheng's vines and pulled hard, almost dragging Wei Cheng away. Luckily, Gu Nanfeng reacted quickly. He grabbed Wei Cheng with one hand and pressed down on the vines extending from his fingers with the other. A powerful bolt of lightning rushed towards the "zombie king".
The "Zombie King's" palm was instantly pierced by lightning, leaving a dark hole in its fair hand. Whether it was in pain or something else, it released the vines in its hand and stared at the black hole in its palm. Wei Cheng took this opportunity to immediately retract his vines.
Lin Yun, on the second deck of the yacht, seized the opportunity and stomped his foot. Pei Sihao, in the cockpit downstairs, immediately honked the horn to signal him. Then, a miniature missile flew out from the second deck and shot towards the "Zombie King" on the shore.
The yacht was very close to the shore. Although the area affected by this miniature missile was not very large, its power should not be underestimated. The shockwave would directly destroy the yacht.
As soon as the miniature missile was launched, Lu Yuan and the others ran out through the back door. Then, he quickly released another yacht from his spatial storage, and he and Ji Lang, along with the two children, jumped aboard. Ji Lang was surprised that Lu Yuan could actually produce another yacht and immediately rushed into the cockpit.
Lin Yun and Yang Xiao, who had already launched the miniature missiles, quickly jumped onto the yacht. Lin Yun rushed into the cockpit, exchanged a glance with Ji Lang, and then steered the yacht towards the open sea.
The miniature missile landed, and following the shockwave, Pei Sihao successfully maneuvered the yacht away from the dock. However, the bow of their yacht was still affected, and the entire bow was smashed beyond recognition, taking on water directly, and the hull began to slowly sink.
Gu Nanfeng and Wei Cheng, who were at the bow of the ship, originally intended to retreat back to the cabin to meet up with Pei Sihao, but unexpectedly, a gust of cold air swept them both up.
Clearly, the first micro-missile did not cause enough damage to the "zombie king," so Qin Yuan immediately launched a second missile, sending a tongue of fire towards the cold air that had swept Gu Nanfeng and Wei Cheng back to shore.
The flames affected the "Zombie King's" superpowers, causing Wei Cheng to fall from the sky, almost landing in the sea, before being caught by Pei Sihao who rushed out.
Without hesitation, Pei Sihao released a jet of water towards the cold wind. The water quickly froze into ice upon encountering the cold air. Wei Cheng spotted Gu Nanfeng's position, and several vines spread from his fingertips, wrapping around Gu Nanfeng, whose body was half frozen, and flinging him towards Lu Yuan and the others' new yacht behind him.
On Lu Yuan's yacht in the distance, Lin Yun launched another miniature missile. Gu Nanfeng was caught by an icicle extended from the little child and landed safely on the yacht's deck. Another child immediately helped melt the ice off his body. Once free, Gu Nanfeng grabbed the vines around his waist and, together with Lin Yun and with the help of Lin Xiao's auxiliary ability, pulled all four people still on the original yacht back using Wei Cheng's vines.
Ji Lang drove the yacht far from the coast, while Lu Yuan prepared two more miniature missiles from his spatial storage. If Gu Nanfeng's consciousness probe revealed that the "Zombie King" was still alive, they planned to launch two more missiles to see if he could survive. If he did, they would run away; if he did, they planned to sail the yacht back to see if they could retrieve his crystal core.
As expected, the "Zombie King" was not dead; its energy cluster was still there. Qin Yuan and Lin Yun set up the launcher and fired two more missiles. Only after this did Gu Nanfeng lose detection of its energy cluster.
But when they sailed the yacht back to that area, Qin Yuan and Lin Yun got off the boat and searched around several times, but they couldn't find the "Zombie King's" body.
"Could it be that other zombies got it?" Qin Yuan thought of the time when the little "zombie king" was burned to death, and many zombies appeared nearby trying to take its body away. This time, with such a big "zombie king," there must be even more zombies coveting it.
"Not necessarily, it might not be dead at all." Gu Nanfeng looked at the mess on the shore and told Ji Lang to drive the yacht back to their supply ship. They couldn't go ashore again today anyway, but they didn't leave empty-handed. At least they got a crystal and "captured" two little superhumans.
"They're still alive?" Zhong Qiang also found it unbelievable. Five missiles had hit them, and they were still alive. He couldn't understand it at all.
Their trip ashore took only two or three hours round trip. When they returned to the supply ship, the other soldiers on board could hardly believe it; they had thought they would have to stay out there for at least a day or two.
"It's too dangerous on the shore. If you don't believe me, ask your Captain Ji." Yang Xiao dragged his tired body back to the supply ship, found a chair and slumped down on it. After the explosion, he felt no sense of security about Lu Yuan's small yacht. Only now that he was back on the large supply ship did he feel a little more at ease.
Once aboard the supply ship, Lu Yuan provided the two children with two self-heating rice meals. The children were overjoyed to see rice and couldn't hide their smiles. They quickly finished both meals. Considering that the children's digestive system was not good and they couldn't eat too much at once, Lu Yuan didn't feed them any more.
After the children finished eating, they were surrounded by several adults who were all talking about their special abilities.
"Brother Feng, are their superpowers powerful?"
"Why aren't their arrogance and icy demeanor affected by the other side?"
"Why can his aura trap people and prevent them from moving? Even if our superpowers trap zombies inside, they can still move!"
"Why does this frost spread on its own?"
Gu Nanfeng was at his wit's end. He didn't have a clear judgment yet, but he guessed that the two children might have evolved superpowers and had been acting together ever since, so he had unknowingly formed a fusion effect with their superpowers.
As for the frost spreading, it probably absorbs water molecules from the air. The flames can trap people, which is probably something they developed without knowing it. Thinking about it this way, Gu Nanfeng believes that their special abilities should also produce similar effects. He should have Team Leader Liu take a look when he gets back.
