Chapter 49 Kobayashi
Looking at Xiao Du's dissatisfied face.
With just a slight twitch of her fingertips, Yu Yao sent the arrow stained with zombie blood flying toward him at incredible speed.
It hovered less than a centimeter from his eyes, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
She spoke slowly, her clear and melodious voice carrying a chill.
Do you recognize this arrow?
Upon seeing the arrow, Xuanfeng's men immediately understood what was going on.
After all, the crossbow that fired that arrow is still firmly held in Kobayashi's hand.
Yu Yao asked again, "Do you recognize the stuff on the arrow?"
As Dongfang Jin and the others looked at the crossbow bolts stained with zombie blood, their gazes toward Xuanfeng's team grew increasingly cold.
Seeing this, Chu Chenzhou wanted to say something, but Yu Yao spoke first.
"I don't understand. All Amei and I did was collect a few barrels of gasoline. How did that anger your people? Was it worth it for you to resort to such dirty tricks to assassinate us?"
Yu Yao pretended not to understand, so Luo Mei pretended to explain it to her.
"What's there to not understand? It's because you're a space ability user, right? If we get rid of you, we can collect less stuff. After we leave, they can come back and kill us all, taking all of He'an's supplies for themselves."
Chu Chenzhou quickly explained, "No, Xiaoyu, you've misunderstood."
"Misunderstand?"
Chi Heng asked in a cold voice, and a terrifying gale gathered in his palm as he raised it slightly in front of Xiao Lin's face.
"Are you saying this has nothing to do with you, and it was all this person's own idea?"
Chu Chenzhou's breath hitched, and he fell silent.
Although it was indeed Kobayashi's idea on his own, Chu Chenzhou couldn't tell him.
Having said that meant I was completely giving up on Kobayashi.
But seeing that the gale force from Chi Heng's palm was about to slit Xiao Lin's throat, Chu Chenzhou anxiously stopped him, saying, "Don't do it!"
Luo Mei, with a lollipop in her mouth, scoffed.
He used a curved blade to lift Kobayashi's chin.
Looking into his terrified eyes, which were filled with fear because he couldn't speak or move, her beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of mockery.
"You're going to protect someone like that? Your so-called Xuanfeng Squad is truly... despicable!"
"What did you say!"
Xiao Du, who had spoken earlier, glared angrily at Luo Mei, tightening his grip on his weapon.
After a long silence, Lin Fengmu shifted his gaze from Yu Yao's face.
She glanced down at Kobayashi, who was easily subdued and too terrified to speak.
He stepped forward and stood between Xuanfeng's team and Chi Heng.
His gaze swept past Chi Heng and landed on Yu Yao, saying, "This was indeed Xiao Lin's fault, but he is, after all, our brother. So, Xiao Yu'er, what will it take for you to let him go?"
His gaze toward Yu Yao was extremely focused, making Yu Yao think that the original owner of this body faced such a gaze every day.
How could I not be tempted?
Fortunately, she wasn't the original owner of this body, so she was immune to that kind of gaze.
Upon hearing these words, a glimmer of light finally appeared in Kobayashi's dejected eyes.
Chi Heng narrowed his cold eyes and blocked Yu Yao's figure once again, his tone chilling.
"Let him go? You're overthinking it!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Du, who was closest to Xiao Lin, said anxiously, "Your people aren't injured, are you really going to hold this grudge? Besides, your people are old acquaintances of our captain and Brother Chen, they're all people we know, why be so petty? And Xiao Lin's ability is useful to you too!"
"No need."
Yu Yao blinked, somewhat surprised by Chi Heng's tough attitude.
Xiao Lin was of course going to die, but he was more useful if he didn't die, so he used his consciousness to communicate with Chi Heng, saying, "Captain, make them pay with crystal cores; they have plenty!"
To everyone's surprise, Chi Heng only replied with one sentence.
"No need, he must die!"
Yu Yao was startled. Seeing that Chi Heng was about to make a move, she quickly reached out and grabbed his arm.
Chi Heng turned around, his gaze lingering for a moment on the small, fair hand that radiated warmth through the sleeve.
He then looked up and said seriously, "He has murderous intent towards you. Keeping him alive will only bring endless trouble."
Compared to the crystal core, Yu Yao's safety is clearly more important.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yao smiled slightly, raised her other hand, and summoned the crossbow bolt stained with zombie blood back to her side.
He said, "I understand, but I think killing him would be too easy on him!"
Yu Yao's actions plunged Xiao Du and the others, who had been holding onto hope, into despair once again, and made them fully realize the ruthlessness of this "pretty face."
Lin Fengmu lowered his eyes and stared at Yu Yao's small hand gripping Chi Heng's arm, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
A moment later, he said, "I will keep him in check, I promise! To express my apology, I will give you all the crystal cores we have. You must know the function of crystal cores."
Those who react quickly already know about the existence and function of crystal nuclei.
Lin Fengmu didn't believe that Yu Yao's team had such combat power, but he didn't know what the crystal core was used for.
But he specifically said "you" instead of "you all".
Yu Yao looked at him in surprise.
He secretly praised himself, saying, "You really know how to handle people. You didn't offend the other side, and your teammates trusted you even more after seeing how hard you worked to save people."
It's nothing more than losing some crystal nuclei.
The members of Xuanfeng's team were clearly displeased upon hearing this, but they didn't say much, only their gazes toward Xiaolin were filled with hostility.
......
Ultimately, with Lin Fengmu's initiative, Yu Yao obtained 136 first-level crystal cores and one second-level water-type crystal core.
It's unclear whether the young people from Xuanfeng tried to hide anything while they were extracting the crystal cores.
But in the end, under Luo Mei's ambiguous smile and the cold stares of Chi Heng and the others, they obediently took out all the crystal cores.
After obtaining the crystal core, Yu Yao didn't make things difficult for Xiao Lin on the surface. Instead, she threw him directly in front of Xiao Du, making a loud thud.
At the same time, with a single grip, he manipulated the air to crush Kobayashi's crossbow and the crossbow bolts stained with zombie blood.
Once freed, Kobayashi saw his most trusted weapon destroyed, but he dared not utter a word of anger!
Chu Chenzhou looked at Yu Yao, who had changed quite a bit, with surprise.
In the end, he just sighed, stepped forward, and helped Kobayashi, who had collapsed to the ground, to his feet.
With the minor incident seemingly resolved, Dongfang Jin and Luo Pingjing resumed their efforts to crack the code.
But Yu Yao had no intention of letting Xiao Lin off the hook so easily.
This man is wicked and has repeatedly suffered setbacks at their hands, so he will surely seek revenge! Of course, Yu Yao will not give him that opportunity.
Not only her, but Chi Heng and the others also had no intention of letting this person go.
Before Yu Yao even threw Xiao Lin out, she had secretly planted an air bomb in his heart.
We'll just wait for the right moment to detonate it and take his life.
Luo Mei also planted a mental suggestion in Xiao Lin's mind.
When they encounter zombies, they can control them to "accidentally" die at the hands of zombies.
The remaining Chi Heng and the others, through their tacit understanding with Luo Mei and a brief exchange of glances with Yu Yao, had already realized that they had already made their move.
Only then did they abandon their intention to take action and pretend nothing had happened, each going about their own business.
......
With Chi Heng's signal, Dongfang Jin, who had already cracked the entire building's defense system, "busied" himself for a while.
Finally, with a pleasant "beep," someone said, "The door is open."
Upon hearing this, Luo Mei, who was casually leaning against the wall, immediately stood up straight and warned, "There are two zombies inside, be careful when you open the door!"
Luo Pingjing gave an "understood" gesture, and together with Dongfang Jin, they took a few steps back, leaving the area where they were vulnerable to zombie attacks.
Chi Heng raised his hand and released his wind-based superpower, slowly blowing open the tightly closed equipment room door.
A roar and a pungent stench followed, and everyone instinctively took two steps back, using their superpowers to prepare to kill the zombies.
Who would have thought that it would all happen in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Lin, who was being supported by Chu Chenzhou, was caught off guard when a zombie with only half a face and a body full of broken and rotting flesh pierced through her with its sharp claws!
Kobayashi stared wide-eyed, looking down at his chest in disbelief.
It wanted to cry out, but could only let out helpless moaning sounds.
Chu Chenzhou was also startled and subconsciously released Xiaolin, quickly retreating.
If Qi Xian hadn't reacted so quickly that he fired two shots at the zombie, smashing its head, Chu Chenzhou would probably have been the next one to be scratched by this speed-mutating zombie!
......
Kobayashi is dead.
The person whom the Xuanfeng team had obtained with 137 crystal cores and treated with great kindness died inexplicably at the hands of zombies.
As Xiaolin's body slowly collapsed, Yu Yao subconsciously looked at Lin Fengmu.
But unexpectedly, their eyes met, and she even saw a hint of... a smile in his eyes?
Yu Yao frowned.
This is a shoddy sesame glutinous rice ball!
He did it on purpose!
