Chapter 6: Dali Protects His Master, A Desperate Escape

With a giant Sangshi as a bodyguard, Chen Yusheng felt instantly more at ease.

When refining this creature, he had specifically drawn the mark of the Shielding Exorcism Talisman on the Sangshi's head; now, even if he held a Warding Off Evil Talisman himself, he didn't have to worry about being accidentally harmed while this big guy was by his side.

After subduing Dali, Chen Yusheng decided to continue searching for food; his stomach was extremely hungry, and he couldn't even be bothered to retrieve the crystals from the dead Sangshi on the ground.

Clutching the Warding Off Evil Talisman, he returned to the street, but hadn't gone far before a group of ordinary Sangshi began following behind him.

"Dali, wipe them all out for me!" Chen Yusheng ordered Dali.

Without a word, Dali stepped forward and threw a punch; with a boom, a Sangshi's head was blown apart instantly.

"Is the gap between ordinary Sangshi and mutants really this big?" Chen Yusheng clicked his tongue.

In less than ten seconds, the remaining few ordinary Sangshi were all finished off by Dali; in front of the giant Sangshi, the ordinary ones were as weak as paper.

"Dali, whenever any Sangshi approach, just take care of them for me!"

Chen Yusheng instructed Dali, and once finished, he began to focus on searching for food.

The shops and supermarkets in the suburbs had long been emptied by others, so he had no choice but to take Dali toward the city center.

The closer he got to the city center, the more items remained in the supermarkets, but unfortunately, most were rotten and impossible to eat.

Fortunately, Chen Yusheng's luck wasn't too bad; in a small supermarket, he found a few bags of vacuum-packed biscuits.

After tearing open the biscuits, he wolfed them down with water; after a few bags, the hunger vanished instantly, and he even regained a long-lost sense of fullness.

"Phew, finally came back to life."

But this wasn't enough; he had to hoard more food to be able to retreat and cultivate in peace.

Next, Chen Yusheng searched a few more supermarkets and gathered over ten kilograms of biscuits.

But just as Chen Yusheng and Dali reached an intersection, an accident occurred.

Roar, roar, roar—

A burst of Sangshi roars suddenly exploded; Chen Yusheng looked left and right, and his face turned pale instantly.

Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Sangshi were swarming toward him in a dark mass.

In front of the Zombie Group were over a dozen Mutant Zombies, including giant Sangshi just like Dali.

There were also mutant types with long, thin limbs that looked extremely fast.

Chen Yusheng didn't dare hesitate for a second; he threw away the biscuits in his hand, leaped onto Dali's back, and shouted, "Dali, run, this way!"

Dali received the order and immediately took off at a sprint.

Hiss—

A sharp, ear-piercing sound suddenly rang out, carrying a strong wave of Spiritual Power.

Following this shriek, countless Sangshi surged out from the houses on both sides of the street and blocked the path directly ahead.

Even though Chen Yusheng held a Warding Off Evil Talisman, these Sangshi charged forward without fear of death.

It was obvious that these Sangshi were being controlled by something.

"Damn it!"

Chen Yusheng cursed, and immediately began drawing a talisman in the void.

The Zombie Group ahead was blocking the way, with a full hundred Sangshi, including several giant Sangshi mixed in.

Chen Yusheng hurriedly shouted, "Dali, charge through!"

Roar!

Dali let out a roar, and his speed increased by a few notches.

"Go!"

At this moment, Chen Yusheng's Soul-Suppressing Talisman was finally drawn; he pushed his palm out, and the Soul-Suppressing Talisman exploded above the heads of the Sangshi group.

Instantly, a hundred ordinary Sangshi collapsed to the ground.

But the giant Sangshi did not fall; they were merely staggered by the impact, like drunken men, yet they continued to charge forward, trying to block Chen Yusheng.

"Go around them!" Chen Yusheng ordered Dali.

Roar, roar, roar.

At this time, violent roars came from behind again.

Chen Yusheng looked back and discovered that several long-limbed Mutant Zombies were catching up at an extremely fast speed.

In this situation, he had no choice but to quickly condense a Soul-Suppressing Talisman again.

Condensing a talisman took time; a few seconds later, a speed-type Mutant Zombie had already pounced right in front of him.

Pfft!

Just as the Soul-Suppressing Talisman was about to take form, a sharp claw viciously raked across Chen Yusheng's back.

"Hiss—"

Chen Yusheng gasped in pain, his back burning; fortunately, the Soul-Suppressing Talisman was finally complete, and he swung his hand fiercely: "Go!"

The Soul-Suppressing Talisman exploded, and the speed-type Sangshi behind him instantly froze, emitting painful roars.

Taking advantage of this gap, Dali carried him in a mad dash, finally putting some distance between them and the Zombie Group.

Chen Yusheng endured the pain and continued to condense a talisman; a few seconds later, another Soul-Suppressing Talisman was hurled out, and those speed-type Sangshi that had caught up again fell straight to the ground.

Next, Dali carried him along the street in a desperate escape, while Chen Yusheng threw out a Soul-Suppressing Talisman every now and then.

He didn't know how long they had been running, but Dali finally reached the outskirts of the city, and the Zombie Group behind them was finally nowhere to be seen.

"Stop, Dali."

Chen Yusheng ordered Dali to stop, then immediately found an empty house and ducked inside.

The wound on his back could not be delayed; the corpse poison from those sharp claws was rapidly spreading through his body along with his blood.

He sat cross-legged and used his True Qi to force out the poison; half an hour later, a stream of black blood flowed from his fingertips.

After the corpse poison was resolved, Chen Yusheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, his True Qi was also almost completely exhausted.

Chen Yusheng hurriedly sat cross-legged to meditate, and in less than three minutes, the 22 strands of True Qi he had cultivated yesterday were fully restored.

He then stood up. "Dali, let's go, out of the city!"

There is a Mutant Zombie in the city that can control Sangshi, so we absolutely cannot stay in the city center any longer. The area outside the city is full of greenery; perhaps we can find something to eat.

On the street, Chen Yusheng sat on Dali's shoulder, walking toward the outskirts of the city at a leisurely pace.

Along the way, they encountered quite a few ordinary Sangshi, but relying on the deterrent power of the Warding Off Evil Talisman, these Sangshi dared not approach at all and could only follow far behind the man and the zombie.

Chen Yusheng was in no hurry to deal with them, intending to lead them outside the city to wipe them all out at once.

Just as he was leading this group of Sangshi toward the outskirts, a group of people on the roof of a five-story building by the street watched in astonishment.

This group of people were all equipped with uniform firearms, all fitted with silencers.

One person even had a rocket launcher strapped to their back.

"Holy crap! What's the situation? Is that person sitting on the giant zombie an intelligent zombie? Would an intelligent zombie dare to leave the city with such a small Zombie Group?"

"Doesn't look like an intelligent zombie; there are no zombie characteristics at all, looks like a living person."

"A living person? Could it be a control-type Ability User? But can a control-type control this many Sangshi? That's nonsense!"

"Look closely, the group of Sangshi behind isn't being controlled; it seems they are just afraid of the giant Mutant Zombie leading them."

As the few were speaking, Chen Yusheng on the street drew closer and closer with the Zombie Group.

"Holy crap! I recognize who he is!" someone suddenly exclaimed.

"Who?" The others all turned to look at him.

"Chen Hai! It's Chen Hai! The one He Shao is currently hunting!"

"You mean He Shao's heart donor? The Chen Hai who escaped? The one with a five-million bounty?"

"Yes! That's him!"

"Hiss—that's five million walking around! As long as we catch him, five million is ours."

"Brothers, are we doing this?"

"Do it! Only a fool wouldn't!"

"Judging by his situation, he's heading out of the city. Let's follow him first, and once we're outside the city, we'll figure out a way to capture him."
