Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Help Her End This Pain

[Level 3 Equivalence Healing, can additionally increase 50 Physical Strength]

A warm current traveled through her body.

Ji Wanwan shivered comfortably, which astonished Ji Xing.

“Sis, does killing zombies make you feel that good?”

Ji Wanwan: “…”

She didn’t have time to banter with Ji Xing and immediately started to replenish her spiritual power using the supplies from System Space.

While recovering, she watched Cheng Ya within the Space Barrier, quickly calculating the time.

The zombies in the distance would take tens of seconds to arrive, while recovering 80% of her spiritual power would take 3 to 5 seconds.

Without a doubt, Cheng Ya was a Level 2 Evolved Zombie.

If she tried to crush her directly, the Crystal Core might also be destroyed. She couldn’t take such a risk and decided to use the conventional method of killing!

5 to 7 seconds to kill a Level 2 Evolved Zombie…

If she could hit on the first try, that would naturally be enough.

But Cheng Ya was so fast…

Ji Wanwan was not confident.

Zombies continued to pour in endlessly, and Ji Wanwan had no more time to consider.

To kill Cheng Ya within a short period, she needed Ji Xing’s cooperation!

“Xing…” Ji Wanwan turned her head toward her brother, before she could speak, she froze.

Her brother’s eyes had become a dazzling gold, a faint golden energy aura radiated around his body, and even the machete in his hand was glowing golden due to the energy resonance.

Her brother had awakened the Gold Element Superpower!!

At such a critical time, he had actually awakened!

Ji Wanwan’s expression brightened: “Xingxing, help hold off those ordinary zombies. I’ll deal with Cheng Ya!”

For fear that her brother had just awakened and couldn’t use his superpower freely, Ji Wanwan did not plan to let Ji Xing join her in dealing with the more dangerous Cheng Ya.

Ji Xing’s amber-like eyes looked at her, and there was a hint of a hardness on his young face that did not belong to someone his age: “Sis, leave Cheng Ya to me, handle the rest.”

Ji Wanwan hesitated.

As if seeing through her concerns, Ji Xing smiled faintly: “Xiao Ya loved beauty the most. Becoming like this, she must be in great pain. No matter what, she was a girl I once loved with all my heart. Sis, let me help her end this pain…”

Ji Wanwan’s lips moved.

In the end, she masked the pain in her eyes and also smiled: “Okay…”

As her words fell, Cheng Ya inside the Space Barrier once again slammed her fist against the Space Barrier in front of her.

“Boom!”

The Space Barrier shattered in an instant, and Cheng Ya pushed off with her hind foot, letting out a roar as she pounced forward.

Ji Xing moved calmly, slightly sidestepping, avoiding Cheng Ya’s attack.

Seeing him so composed, Ji Wanwan let go of her worries and turned to look at the other ordinary zombies closing in.

In that instant just now, Ji Xing could have used his machete to behead Cheng Ya, but he really didn’t want to see such a gruesome scene.

While attracting Cheng Ya’s attacks, he used his gaze to search for anything useful inside the stopped vehicles.

Suddenly, his gaze settled on the overpass line above the parking lot.

“Roar!”

Cheng Ya once again lunged fiercely at Ji Xing.

Ji Xing stood still, but his palm was flowing with a faint golden radiance.

“Boom boom boom!”

The moment Cheng Ya drew near Ji Xing, he pushed off the ground, retreating back swiftly.

At the same time, several pieces of steel plating fell from the sky, forming a tight steel cage that trapped Cheng Ya inside.

“Thud thud thud!”

Hearing the banging and roaring from within the steel cage, a trace of pity crossed Ji Xing’s eyes.

Using himself as bait, he had successfully captured Cheng Ya.

But he couldn’t find joy in it…

The next second, Ji Xing concealed the sorrow in his eyes and raised his hand to pull down the overhead electric cables from a distance. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

He stepped back, took a light leap, and landed on the roof of a car, then lightly raised his hand, conjuring a metallic thin sheet out of thin air.

The thin sheet cut through the cable in midair, slicing open its insulation layer.

“Zzzt…”

The moment the cable was severed, it emitted a blinding electric arc.

Ji Xing looked toward the steel cage on the ground, his lips pursed slightly as he manipulated the electrified cable closer to the steel cage.

“Zzzt!!!”

Ji Wanwan only felt a blinding spark of electric fire come from the direction Ji Xing had left in.

Accompanying the light, a clear sound of explosion was heard.

Ji Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat, and after dispatching a few zombies in front of her, she rushed towards where Ji Xing was.

From a distance, Ji Xing saw his sister’s figure.

“Don’t come over!”

Electricity surrounded the steel cage, and if his sister came over, she certainly wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Hearing her brother’s strong voice, Ji Wanwan felt relieved and immediately heeded his warning, stopping in her tracks.

Under the glaring electric light, Ji Wanwan could clearly see the object at the center of the fire.

A steel cage cobbled together.

Inside the cage, the sound of violent struggle and screeching was heard, but the noise didn’t last long and soon ceased.

After the noise stopped, Ji Xing did not immediately move away the cable, but continued to electrify it for roughly six to seven seconds before tossing the cable back onto the overhead high-voltage power line, to avoid accidentally hurting normal humans.

With the electricity fully subsided, Ji Xing cautiously opened a gap in the steel cage and squinted inside for a glance.

With just one look, he frowned and withdrew his control over the steel cage.

“Boom boom boom…”

Several pieces of iron fell scattered around.

Inside the cage, everything was charred by electricity.

Fire still lingered on the iron plates, the remaining light amid the charring was both glaring and grotesquely spectacular.

Cheng Ya inside the cage had long been electrocuted with no vital signs left.

Her limbs that fell on the iron plate were carbonized by high temperatures, her clothing had all been burned to ash, and her whole body was covered in black and gray.

Ji Xing lowered his eyes with some remorse.

He had not wanted to blow Cheng Ya’s head off, to avoid her dying too disgracefully.

But it turned out to be even more tragic…

He pursed his lips. Jumping down from the car roof, he walked over to Cheng Ya, crouched down, and felt the back of her head.

The partially carbonized bones were fragile; Ji Xing barely touched them, and Cheng Ya’s skull crumbled.

He effortlessly extracted the flaming red Crystal Core, then looked disdainfully at the bloodstains on his fingertips, his beautiful eyebrows raising even higher.

Seeing the horrific scene before her, Ji Wanwan’s mouth twitched, “Is this what you call ending her pain?”

Ji Xing choked, “Did it not end?”

Ji Wanwan couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up, “Solid 6.”

Although the scene in front of them was somewhat absurd, Ji Xing’s heart still ached a bit.

He sighed deeply, “Sis, there aren’t many zombies left in the parking lot now, I believe you can do it on your own, so I’ll take Cheng Ya away first.”

Ji Wanwan was stunned, “Where are you taking her?”

Had her brother been so shocked he had lost his mind?

If their parents saw their son bringing back a charred corpse, wouldn’t they be scared to death?

Perhaps her expression was too comical, Ji Xing looked at her speechlessly, “She’s dead, she deserves a proper burial. I’ve electrocuted her to such a state, I should at least let her rest with some dignity!”

Ji Wanwan chuckled awkwardly, “Ahem, after you!”

Ji Xing snorted and, with a thought, controlled a sheet of iron to lift Cheng Ya’s body, and slowly made his way out of the parking lot.

Watching his retreating figure, Ji Wanwan felt a mix of laughter and tears, murmuring, “You little brat…”

…

Wanjiale.

Watching the approximately three-meter-tall giant zombie punch through the Ice Wall, Xia Li was dumbfounded, “Oh my god…”
