Chapter 845: Chapter 845: The Jellyfish’s Counterattack

"What’s the weakness?"

Bai Xiqin sensed the fierce hurricane blowing from the direction of the Zombie Kun, the putrid wind nearly closing her eyes.

She raised her hand and tapped Leng Yebai’s hand, which was picking at Zhang Yiming’s fingers.

Leng Yebai stared intently at Zhang Yiming’s distinctly jointed hands before lowering his voice, "Its brainwaves are extremely fragile, not controlled by other brainwaves, and it has lost its sense of smell, unable to even detect the scent of flesh and blood."

In other words, the movements of the Zombie Kun are completely controlled by that sneaky bastard in the background.

And that old guy is hiding in the deepest part of the sea.

The Zombie Kun moves slowly, even with its Wind Ability, it flies slower in the air than ordinary fish.

Its imposing presence and massive size look intimidating, and it indeed has strength.

But as long as you use a flexible body and take advantage of the time difference when those old guys in the deep sea are controlling the Zombie Kun, you can still defeat this Zombie Kun that seems on the verge of collapse.

The rotting flesh on the Zombie Kun hangs loosely, about to fall apart, while Leng Yebai became a Sixth Rank Superpower User within the previous few minutes.

For survivors, a Sixth Rank Superpower User is already an apex being, rarely can anyone, other than someone like Captain Zhang, break through above the Sixth Rank.

In all of humanity, Superpower Users above the Sixth Rank are exceedingly rare.

Moreover, when Leng Yebai enhanced his powers, he used spatial assistance, allowing him to battle even Seventh Rank Superpower Users.

If the Zombie Kun were in its true prime, Leng Yebai plus Zhang Yiming might not be able to defeat it.

But this Zombie Kun on the brink of disintegration is manageable.

"Roar――"

An empty, beastly voice echoed from the front, it opened its bloodthirsty maw, and black slime poured from the holes in its mouth like a basinful of water, splashing into the sea.

The black ink-like slime was quickly diluted by the pale black seawater.

The massive maw almost enveloped the shadows of all three.

The Zombie Kun could easily engulf the three of them whole.

Bai Xiqin noticed that the Zombie Kun had no urge to devour flesh, just mechanically opened its mouth like a broken machine, swallowing irrelevant things.

Compared to those zombies or zombie sea creatures that pounce at the sight of flesh, the Zombie Kun’s actions are indeed abnormal.

This creature, without the sense of smell or taste, is a zombie with no purpose in survival, merely living with hollow eyes.

Zombies still have objectives; devouring flesh is their reason for existence.

But this Zombie Kun is merely a remnant.

A remnant that should have nourished everything with its fall.

"Hold on tight."

Bai Xiqin quietly reminded, then swiftly dodged the Zombie Kun’s bloodthirsty maw using control power.

Bang!

The blackened teeth of the Zombie Kun clashed heavily together.

The decayed flesh around its mouth dropped in large chunks due to the violent shaking.

Large chunks of rotting flesh almost as heavy as Bai Xiqin fell heavily into the seawater.

As the water erupted, a swarm of swimming creatures gathered around.

Some decaying zombie sea creatures below started devouring the fallen rotting flesh from the Zombie Kun!

These are zombie sea creatures from the depths, not zombies from the land.

A dense pack of small zombie sea creatures stirred the seawater with splashes.

Bai Xiqin saw that some jellyfish, originally almost transparent, were now presenting a half-translucent, half-decaying state due to the rotting flesh on their bodies.

With keen eyesight, Bai Xiqin even saw the pathways where the jellyfish absorbed the blackened rotting flesh and dispersed it throughout their bodies.

Bai Xiqin shivered with dread.

On land, zombies do not devour decaying flesh without the command of a High Rank Zombie, nor do they attack their kind.

Only High Rank Zombies, with self-awareness, realizing that the crystal core inside a zombie’s brain is absorbable, would harm their companions.

But no zombie would voluntarily consume a companion’s flesh.

Even though it could benefit their evolution.

Consuming more zombie virus increases the dormant zombie virus within, boosting the potential to ascend ranks.

These jellyfish originally lacked strong attack power—akin to comparing zombie fish to zombie whales and zombie octopus turtles.

Their collective choice to consume rotting flesh is a counterattack for this group.

Over time, their status will be significantly elevated.

Of course, this assumes those old guys in the deep sea don’t interfere.

"What are you looking at?"

While Bai Xiqin was looking at the jellyfish, Zhang Yiming’s voice came from beside her ear, his tone very calm, as if discussing today’s lovely weather with Bai Xiqin.

The sizzling sound of massive electrical currents resonated, purple light casting over Bai Xiqin’s face.

Leng Yebai had already engaged lightning mode, continuously attacking the decaying areas of the Zombie Kun as it turned clumsily.

Huge chunks of rotting flesh detached easily from its white frame, falling once again into the swarm of jellyfish in the sea.

Leaving only Bai Xiqin and Zhang Yiming in leisure.

"Watching the jellyfish."

Bai Xiqin replied to Zhang Yiming, snapping back to focus, quickly using control power to assist.

A dagger strapped to her leg fiercely flew toward the massive body of the Zombie Kun, whose skull was remarkably hard, resistant even in its fragility, not easily broken.

Bai Xiqin opted to cut away the rotting flesh instead.

The rotting flesh seemed useless, yet it could still control the skeleton, serving the purpose of body control.

No matter how powerful a zombie, without a body, leaving just a head is useless.

The small dagger slid swiftly along the skeletal frame, more deft than a chef dissecting an ox.

Huge chunks of decaying flesh flew, revealing many exposed, white bones.

Zhang Yiming, seeing Bai Xiqin act, summoned black flames from his hands instantly.

Black flames momentarily stalled, transforming into a bewitching red.

Ultimately not attacking with the zombie virus.

Compared to the Zombie Kun, the figures of Zhang Yiming, Bai Xiqin, and Leng Yebai were insignificant, overshadowed even by the fallen flesh.

But the energy waves emanating from their bodies rivaled the day when energy tides arrived.

Wave after wave.

Red flames and enchanting purple lightning covered almost the entire body of the Zombie Kun, the decaying flesh falling like dumplings into the water.

The Zombie Kun opened its bloodthirsty maw repeatedly, swinging its nearly hollow tail relentlessly side to side.

Every attack missed.

Bai Xiqin controlled their bodies using control power, avoiding the attacks.

The Zombie Kun’s pressure wasn’t as effective as when on the shore, restraining them from moving.

This was the second weakness Captain Zhang mentioned; the Zombie Kun struggles to assert its pressure on creatures near its body.

The crystal core in its head is inherently unstable; its massive frame can easily see distant objects, but cannot perceive nearby, unable to lock its pressure onto specific nearby areas.

It can only rely on those old guys in the deep sea, using the clumsiest methods to attack opponents.

Survivors onshore, with unable to control their bodies, felt a surge of great reverence toward Bai Xiqin and the trio.

They are (zombie) beasts indeed!
