Chapter 103
A blurred afterimage suddenly appeared in the original spot.
The little darling pounced at empty air.
The bullet also flew through the afterimage.
The next moment, Yun Xiaoxiao sensed a slight disturbance in the air behind her.
Her gaze turned cold as she swiftly thrust the ice pick in her hand backwards.
A muffled groan came from behind.
"Not bad, little one. You've got some skills. Big brother here really underestimated you just now," Ling Jing said through gritted teeth, the corner of his mouth twitching.
"But this just got more interesting."
His eyes darkened as he summoned a wave of black mist that rapidly enveloped Yun Xiaoxiao.
Yun Xiaoxiao felt as if the black mist had hands and feet, grabbing and throwing her.
If she really fell, she'd eat dirt.
Vines shot out from her hands, wrapping around a nearby pillar. Her whole body instantly rebounded, and she clung to the wall pillar like a gecko.
In the next instant, with vines wrapped around her feet and a blade in her hand, she fiercely slashed at Ling Jing.
Ling Jing's eyes flickered as he quickly dodged.
Luckily, he was fast enough. If he had been a second slower, he would have lost his hand.
"You're vicious, little one," Ling Jing said, pressing his lips together, though his smile now held a hint of malice.
"Since that's the case, don't blame big brother for not holding back anymore."
His eyes darkened as he stared intently at Yun Xiaoxiao.
Instantly, Yun Xiaoxiao felt a stabbing pain in her head, as if millions of ants were desperately trying to burrow inside. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Yun Xiaoxiao furrowed her brow and cursed silently.
Another mental ability!
So far, the man before her had already displayed three different abilities.
Mental, dark, and enhanced speed!
These abilities were incredibly powerful!
Yun Xiaoxiao felt a twinge of envy.
The intense pain in her head was unbearable.
If it weren't for her strong willpower, she would have cried out in pain long ago.
In just a few seconds, she had cursed Ling Jing's ancestors eighteen generations back.
However, revenge is a dish best served cold.
Besides, she was still just a five-year-old child.
No rush. Once she gained mental abilities, he'd be the first one she'd kill!
Right now, she couldn't run away or fight back.
Since that was the case, why not just...
Yun Xiaoxiao plopped down on the ground and burst into a loud, pitiful cry.
Her eyes reddened, and tears immediately began to fall.
With her eyes brimming with tears, she looked utterly pitiful.
Ling Jing: ......
She was ready to fight and kill just a moment ago, how did she suddenly start crying?
Indeed, she's still a child after all...
No matter how capable, she still has a child's mentality.
Cry when you can't win?
The corner of Ling Jing's mouth twitched.
He immediately withdrew his mental attack.
"Hey, little one, why are you crying?" he asked, somewhat exasperated.
Yun Xiaoxiao pouted, sitting on the ground like a tiny lump, tilting her head, completely ignoring him.
She just wailed loudly, looking like a fountain of tears.
Ling Jing was completely at a loss. He took out a few candies he had found at the clothing store's cash register earlier and held them out to Yun Xiaoxiao.
"Want some?"
Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at them and grabbed them all.
Then... she continued crying...
Ling Jing: ......
Are children this hard to console?
"Hey, come on, stop crying."
"Waaah~"
Ling Jing: ......
He rubbed his throbbing temples.
"What will make you stop crying?"
"I want to go back to big brother and the others."
Ling Jing frowned, "That's not possible. You need to come with me to Rongsheng Base. After I've taken my revenge, I'll send you back."
Yun Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. She suddenly realized that if she disappeared, big brother and the others would probably guess that Ling Jing had taken her to Rongsheng Base. Perhaps they were already looking for her.
Having figured this out, Yun Xiaoxiao sniffled and finally nodded.
The two reached a temporary truce.
Ling Jing found a random car on the street outside.
Surprisingly, he seemed quite adept at stealing cars.
It was clear this wasn't his first time doing such a thing.
Without keys, he connected a few wires to start the car.
He picked up Yun Xiaoxiao and placed her in the passenger seat, fastening her seatbelt.
Although children shouldn't sit in the front seat, this was the apocalypse – who cared about such rules?
Besides, she wasn't an ordinary child. She was lethal.
Putting her in the back would leave his back exposed to danger, and he wasn't foolish enough to do that.
"Hold on tight."
Ling Jing pressed his lips together, gave a faint smile, and then slammed on the accelerator.
The car shot forward instantly, moving at an incredible speed, as if they were in a street race.
Zombies were sent flying as the car plowed through them.
Ling Jing's speed didn't decrease; instead, it increased. His eyes held a hint of bloodthirsty excitement.
Before long, the car had left the city and was driving on a ring road.
The road was littered with abandoned vehicles – some overturned, some with their hoods popped up from hitting guardrails, some burned to ashes...
The ground was a mess everywhere, with zombie corpses and dismembered parts scattered about.
Occasionally, a few wandering zombies would charge at the car, only to be mercilessly run over.
As they drove on, suddenly there were several loud "bang" sounds, and the car's tires burst.
The car immediately began to shake violently.
Ling Jing's brows furrowed tightly as black mist suddenly poured out, enveloping the car.
The spinning car immediately stabilized and came to a stop.
As the black mist dissipated, the two got out of the car.
"Don't move! Move and we'll shoot!"
Suddenly, a threatening voice rang out from a roadblock ahead.
Then, dozens of figures emerged from behind the abandoned cars all around.
They were all holding guns.
Their faces were fierce and menacing, looking extremely dangerous.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked up. It seemed they had encountered highway robbers...
The car's sudden tire burst was probably due to hidden nails these people had deliberately planted on the road.
"Don't move and hand over all the supplies in your car, or we won't be so nice!"
A burly man in his forties glared at Yun Xiaoxiao and Ling Jing, then signaled his men to go check the supplies in the car.
Ling Jing pressed his lips together and smiled lazily.
"So you want to rob us?"
"Heh, kid, don't put it so bluntly. How can you call this robbery? This is... borrowing."
"Oh~ Borrowing, is it?"
Ling Jing drawled meaningfully.
"Then why don't you let us 'borrow' from you as well?"
"You little punk, are you asking for death?!"
The man's gaze turned vicious.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes lecherously.
"Well, well, I didn't expect you to be such a pretty boy. You look even more delicate than those girls. Don't you think so, boys?"
The surrounding bandits immediately burst into agreeing laughter.
"He really is! That face is quite a sight. Imagine kissing that, how pleasing to the eye, haha..."
"Damn, it's been so long since I've touched a woman. Now even men are starting to look good. Boss, why don't we spare them and take them back for us to play with?"
"Yeah, yeah, and that little girl looks so fresh too. Wonder how it would feel to have some fun with her?"
