Rebirth of MC Chpt 102 - 202 (unedited translations)

Chapter 116: Advanced research institute

"That is an evolved zombie. Able to increase its abilities by devouring their kin's brains," Lu Yi who managed to avoid death by the skin of his teeth states as his comrades drag him into the car.

"I'll let all of you handle the normal zombies. As for the evolved one, little Yuan and I will take care of it," Long Zhanye commands as he gestures to Huo Zaiyuan, then removes the steel sword he tucked away beneath the driver seat of the Hummer. "Little Yuan, cover me."

"Older brother Long, what are you planning to do?" Li Qing asks over the earpiece.

"Since putting a bullet in its head won't work, then the only other option is to hack it to bits. You focus on the situation in our vicinity. Report any and all changes!"

Long Zhanye stalks towards the female zombie with Huo Zaiyuan three paces behind. Tossing a few talismans towards the swarm of zombies, a flash of silver erupts, forming two protective screens between the evolved undead and the horde on both sides.

An admiring exclamation comes through the earpiece even as the sound of submachine guns and assault rifles firing ring continuously in the air, bringing down wave after wave of undead.

Beholding the silver wall separating it from the ordinary undead, the female zombie becomes jittery. In a blink of an eye, its expression turns malevolent, low growls wafting out through clenched teeth. The only warning it gave before attacking Long Zhanye is the minute twitch that ran through its body.

The soldier meets it head on, not retreating even a single step back. The blade slashes through the air, aiming to sever the zombie's head from its shoulders. Clearly registering the sword as a bigger threat than bullets, it doesn't attempt to dodge, instead raising both hands to catch the blade.

Two talismans shoot pass Long Zhanye's ears, hitting the zombie's face.

Boom! Boom!

Following two loud explosions, Long Zhanye shifts a step back and withdraws his sword, sustaining no damage on his person.

As for the zombie who is sent flying by the exploding talismans, its entire body is covered in black burns, smoke rising from its skin.

Explosions and flames from a Taoist's talismans wouldn't harm a normal human in the slightest. However, in terms of demonic beings like zombies, they are a very effective killing tool.

"What do you think?" Huo Zaiyuan asks with a small smirk as he walks to stand beside Long Zhanye.

To be honest, he actually doesn't need to lift a hand. Although that evolved female zombie appears to be extremely ferocious, based on Long Zhanye's ability, he wouldn't have any problems bringing it down. However, Huo Zaiyuan feels bored just standing aside and not cashing in on the action. So he decides to play a flanking game with Long Zhanye.

"Speed is quick and its force is powerful." Long Zhanye gives his honest opinion, before tagging on other unwanted personal opinions that makes one feel like blowing their top. "Build is not bad, but skin complexion is too pale and facial expression is too fierce. Sure enough, a woman cannot be too aggressive lest they scare men away."

"......" Upon hearing the last few sentences, Huo Zaiyuan pauses, rendered completely speechless.

A few chuckles come over the earpiece before being hastily stifled as the members of the commando squad are taken by surprise. They never would have thought this infamous legendary figure in the army actually possesses a sense of humour, strange as it may be.

"I wasn't aware you have such unique tastes," Huo Zaiyuan says in an extremely dry tone. "Since you like it, then I'll leave it to you."

"As if I'll like it. In my eyes and heart, there is only one little Yuan." Saying these corny words with a bland face causes goosebumps to rise on the arms of the others listening.
