[1] Apocalypse: Third Rebirth

Chapter 127: You Broke Her

I watched as Zhou Gang Jia's eyes widened at my threat. Was I willing to kill everyone in this room to protect my men? Well, that was a bit of a dumb question, now wasn't it?

I stretched my neck back and forth, trying to lessen the tension in my shoulders as I planned my next move. If we somehow managed to kill everyone in this place, Huang Xiu Yan being the only exception, what would be our next step?

That was one of the biggest problems with my brain, you know, besides the weird random thoughts. I needed to plan the next few steps and have a backup plan for those plans.

Sometimes it got so bad I couldn't even remember my original plan, that was how many backup plans I had.

But I digress. If we killed everyone, we could stay here and claim this base as our own, but then what? What would we do once the people in the city became desperate and came here? Would we open the gates? Lock them out? Would we become a safe zone or refuse entry?

'How about we just deal with the situation before we plan the next 10 years of our lives,' said Wang Chao breaking my concentration. I wrinkled my brows in confusion. How was that 10-year plan? If I was thinking that long term, I would have to see if this base had an area where we could start growing crops. I mean, I saw some parks around, but those wouldn't be big enough to grow all the food that we needed, especially if we became a safe zone.

'I'm sorry I misspoke,' said Wang Chao in a soothing voice. 'We can figure out all of that later, let's deal with this first.'

I was confused. Our next step was dependent on what we were going to do after. After all, was there any point in killing them all if we weren't going to take over their base?

And that was when it hit me. The voice said that it was more than just zombies that had flames, and although I couldn't confirm that right now, I knew that both humans and zombies had vitality. 'Wang Chao!' I gasped, looking at the man beside me to see if he caught on to my thoughts.

There was a moment of silence before Wang Chao spoke, 'Done.'

I breathed a sigh of relief and waited to see what would happen. I mean, it might not even be possible, there were a lot of people here, but if it was! And there was Liu Yu Zeng! I looked back over at Wang Chao, my eyes wide open in shock.

Could we do it?

'Done,' came Wang Chao's voice inside my head. With the plan in place, all I could do was wait and hope that it could be done before the Rear Admiral did something else or noticed something was wrong. I didn't even dare look at Liu Yu Zeng from where he stood just behind me in case I gave something away.

'It's working,' confirmed Wang Chao, not giving away anything on his face. I couldn't see anything different, but I trusted Wang Chao. If he said that my plan was working, then it was working. I started counting in my head as Zhou Gang Jia just stared at me like I had gone crazy thinking that I could take out everyone.

But then I saw it. The Rear Admiral's face started to become paler and paler, sweat started dripping from his forehead and his face wrinkled as if he was in excruciating pain. "What?" he gasped as he suddenly fell to the floor. I didn't know if he was dead or alive and I really didn't care. I watched as it spread out from us, like a reverse wave where bodies simply dropped one after another. There were no screams, no exclamations, no denials, nothing. Where they were once standing, they had now fallen to the floor.

Seeing that the threat had been neutralized, I quickly turned to look at Liu Yu Zeng and Chen Zi Han, concern apparent on my face. "Are you two okay?" I asked, looking them up and down as if I could see anything physical on them to suggest that they were in anything other than perfect condition.
