Ch 208 Light of the Apocalypse 8.24

They had been travelling exceptionally smoothly since they first headed out. So smoothly that it only felt like this could be the calm before the storm.

“BaoBao, are you sure that Changle Village is emitting energy flows that don’t belong to this world?”

“I’m positive. But I still couldn’t find it after searching all night.” BaoBao was emotionally tired.

“Let’s go take a look first. Besides that, were there any other problems?” XunMi looked out the window of the car. Her eye kept twitching for some reason. The system map didn’t recognize anything abnormal. Yet XunMi wouldn’t put her guard down. She hadn’t forgotten about last time. But to be honest, she had felt a weird air even before getting into the car.

[Madam Host, I didn’t notice anything else. Oh, that’s right. When I got back, I saw Ming Mei. She was suspiciously coming out of the back of the supermarket and carrying a bag. I did a search through her bag. There wasn’t any dangerous weapons inside.] BaoBao nuzzled into XunMi’s arms and peered up at his madam host.

XunMi frowned and looked at the car behind them through the rearview mirror. Their lineup had changed today. The car Ming Mei was in was now behind them. XunMi knew Ming Mei couldn’t possibly be so kind. {T/N: Maybe being closer in the back was dangerous? I’m confused too by what XunMi means.} But she was still confused about what this could mean.

“Keep an eye on her. I really want to know exactly what she has up her sleeves. Right, BaoBao, wasn’t I rewarded with purification abilities in the last world? Does it come with any limitation to usage?” XunMi decided to get this equipped. Just in case she needed it.  BaoBao opened up the system screen and searched.

[Nope, but it does have a cooling effect. The more you use it, the colder you get.]

XunMi nodded. As expected, there was no such thing as a purely good thing. But at least it was useful to her.

After slowly travelling for another hour, the military leader of their group stopped everybody to rest right before they entered Changle Village. They first chose a few people to go in to check the current situation. After they understood the situation, the rest of them will enter.

XunMi leaned on her own car. The surrounding air was getting more and more humid. Something was off. Her map was still quiet without any changes. But the tension in XunMi’s heart only grew.

Ye MingYe had his eyes on XunMi the whole time. Seeing the restlessness in XunMi’s eyes, he walked forth.

“Mi’er don’t worry. I’m here.” No matter what’s out there, he’ll make sure they regret coming here.

XunMi squeezed her husband’s hand and felt her heart quiet down. But immediately after, XunMi’s eyes widened. She pointed at the group of things slowly making their way over.

“Prepare everyone. MingYe, get in the car. Let’s go.” Her eyesight was great. She could see that those things off in the distance were spiders. Mutated spiders. They made XunMi, who didn’t even have a phobia for spiders, shiver.

Like they say, little ghosts are hard to get rid of. Although these things were small, only about the size of a head, there were too many of them. There could only be disaster when someone bumped into these things. When the others noticed, they immediately began screaming and cursing. Pushing and shoving, everyone ran back into their cars. Without even waiting for others, they slammed down on the pedal and rushed out. If their cars had already left without them, the others began stealing cars.

Even when they got into the cars, they couldn’t leave. All the cars in front of them were blocking the way. In front, mice scurried forward. Just like the spiders behind them, they must have mutated too.

“Let’s fight.” She closed her eyes for a second before opening them. Her eyes were filled with fire.

Song ZiQian quickly came over with his people. Xu Yi and the others gathered on another side. Ye MingYe arranged everyone’s fighting roles and followed XunMi up to the very front. When the spiders were about to reach them, XunMi’s ice abilities erupted out. She stood there, her eyebrows and hair dyed with faint ice and frost. Each spider was wrapped into a white, impenetrable ice crystal. The spiders behind those frozen ones wanted to climb over the crystals to continue forward when they too, froze upon impact to the crystals.

This repeated again and again. It was like they had no mind. They only knew to go forth and go forth.

“MingYe, do you feel like they are being controlled by something?”

Ye MingYe waited for the right timing before shooting out a lightning bolt, smashing the frozen spiders. “Level five zombie.” That thing must have two abilities.  One of them was probably shielding. That would explain why they hadn’t been able to detect them, allowing them to walk right into its’ trap.

XunMi and Ye MingYe shot at all four sides. Meanwhile those with lower levelled skills behind them were in a much more miserable state.  Their screams never ended. Some tried to escape, some tried to dodge. The scene that had just begun to die down once again turned to chaos due to the incoming zombie mice.

Song ZiQian’s men were all strong. They were at least mentally strong enough to handle this. Ling Chen and his group worked harmoniously together. While the rest of the people were flailing, Ling Chen’s section remained safe from harm.

XunMi’s ice abilities were created and molded ‘illegally’ from soul energy. As she was using ice  abilities, she could no longer use mental abilities. Moreover, she felt that right now was not the right time to use it. That level five zombie definitely had mental abilities that allowed him to control so many spiders and mice.

BaoBao was busy keeping his eyes on Ming Mei. He was afraid that she would try to do something to his Madam Host in a dangerous and chaotic time like this. But from the start to the end of the fight, all she did was keep a tight grip on her bag.

Even though they were almost done getting rid of the spiders, there were a growing amount of zombie mice behind them. The other people finally stopped their panicking and began concentrating on fighting back the zombie mice. They were at least able to stop those things from continuing forward.

Song ZiQian nodded towards XunMi before taking his men over to help. Xu Yi and his people took over Song ZiQian’s spot in protecting the back. During the whole fight, Cheng XinYao didn’t act excessively.

Only now did her eyes flash with sudden craziness. Just wait, just a little longer. Then, that person will disappear from this world. 

Malicious intent flashed. No one noticed her expressions in the midst of fighting. Even XunMi and Ye MingYe didn’t notice. Their entire focus was on finishing off the remainder of the spiders. Different colors of different abilities’ halos shined in the small village. Pieces of meat and corpses flew everywhere.
