1009 Losing Control Again

Qiu Lili and Lin Kui glanced at each other. All underground creatures had fallen back, so all the other zombies returned to Qiu Lili. Yun Meng hopped to Qiu Lili's side with one leg and glanced at Lin Kui. She was surprised to see him turn into a big, fluffy cat.

"Why does this look a little familiar?" She then turned to Wu Chengyue and said.

"Oh, get closer to him and you'll know why it looks so familiar," Qiu Lili responded with composure.

"How come he went crazy again? Didn't people say that the superpowered people who had lost control once wouldn't lose control again?" Yun Meng said confusedly.

Qiu Lili turned and glanced at the other, then popped her eyes and said, "Wow, you all look miserable! How long will it take for you guys to heal?"

Except for herself and a few wind-powered zombie leaders, everyone else was injured, almost fully covered in blood. Before returning to the base, they needed to wash the blood off themselves.

Lin Kui's face stayed undamaged, but there was a wound on his right ear. His back looked a little messy as well. He didn't shift back into his human shape, because he had no clothes to wear. If he shifted his shape back, he would be naked.

"Chief had brought the level-seven ones back into her space. Can she handle them?" Yun Meng frowned slightly.

Qiu Lili nodded with confidence as she said, "Yeah, yeah! She's good! But, I wonder how she'll feel when she comes out to find that guy going crazy again and that the big monster having gotten away."

The other zombies didn't know what to say.

"I think she'll laugh at him! Even though he didn't cause extra trouble, he failed his job, didn't he?" Yun Meng thought for a moment, then responded with a wicked smile.

"Has he lost his mind completely? Will he still recognize our Chief like he did last time?" Qiu Lili asked.

The others looked at her silently.

At that moment, Lin Qiao was hiding in her space, devouring the energy that belonged to the ten underground creatures. She had no idea yet that the level-eight creature that she left for Wu Chengyue to deal with had run away, and the man was going crazy.

Qiu Lili and the other zombies gathered together, staying vigilant against those underground creatures which had retreated, while keeping an eye on Wu Chengyue, who was still standing there motionlessly.

Wu Chengyue wore no expression on his face. His pupils turned purple, sparkling brightly in the darkness like the stars. Meanwhile, thunderclouds gathered thickly above his head, and lightning bolts flashed across them without falling. The energy that burst out of his body stayed within five meters around him without expanding.

The look in his purple eyes was icy cold. However, he was slowly turning those eyes from side to side, seemingly searching for something.

…

Lin Qiao wasn't worried about the outside. She spent three hours to drain up the ten underground creatures in her space and burn out their bodies. Only after that did she come out of her space.

She thought the battle would have ended by the time she came out. Even if Wu Chengyue failed to kill that level-eight creature, he should at least be able to cast it away.

As she expected, she didn't sense the scent of those underground creatures when she came out. However, she found Qiu Lili and the other zombies gathering together and watching the man.

"What happened? How did he become like this?" Lin Qiao was surprised to notice Wu Chengyue's current state, so she flashed to Qiu Lili's side and asked with confusion.

"Oh, you're here! You finished off those creatures, didn't you?" Qiu Lili said to her happily, then answered her question, "So, after you went into your space, he had fun torturing that big thing. That thing might have realized that he's a tough cookie, so it attempted to run with its underlings. However, Wu Chengyue didn't let it go. At last, the light that shone out of the creature's skin turned white from red and shone on his body. He then became like this."

"How long has he been like this for?" Lin Qiao asked with a frown.

"About three hours," said Qiu Lili.

While they were talking, Wu Chengyue, who had been staying motionless for over three hours, suddenly turned to them and landed his glowing, purple eyes on them.

"Whoa! Damn! He's looking at us!" Qiu Lili and the others instantly tightened their bodies Somehow, they felt as if they were shrouded by a dangerous vibe.

At that very moment, Lin Qiao had a bad feeling. "No way! Again?" She made her voice sound without thinking. Once her voice faded, the man who was standing on top of a pile of ruins suddenly disappeared from where she was. A strong vibe pressed down toward the group of zombies, who immediately fled in all directions.

In the next second, Wu Chengyue showed up before the zombie group, then raised his head to look at Lin Qiao, staring at her obsessively.

"Wow, he still recognizes Chief! He really loves her!" Yun Meng flashed onto a utility pole and said.

"So, he can still be saved! Good, good." Qiu Lili landed on top of a building nearby.

Noticing that Wu Chengyue had his eyes fixed on Lin Qiao, all the others somehow sighed with relief. Unlike them, Lin Qiao wore a bitter look on her face. She had become a target of his yet again. Under the heavy pressure that was coming from the man, she was actually disabled from entering her space.

What on earth was happening? Couldn't things just go well?

Once again, Wu Chengyue disappeared from where he was and flashed toward her within a blink. She tried again to enter her space, but still failed. Hence, she stopped trying but stayed highly vigilant against him.

She decided to figure out what exactly was wrong with the man.

If he attacked her, she would… just run. She couldn't defeat him or enter her space! What else could she possibly do!

Before she finished thinking, Wu Chengyue showed up right before her along with a fierce, agitated vibe. Weirdly, he stayed half a meter away from her and stood in front of her as he slightly lowered his head to look at her with his pretty purple eyes.

Lin Qiao was very confused, and so were the others.

Under the gazes of everyone on the scene, Wu Chengyue spent a few seconds quietly looking at Lin Qiao, then dropped his head and sniffed at her. After that, he slowly raised a hand, reaching toward her face.

'Is he trying to take advantage of me?' Lin Qiao thought.

Meanwhile, a knowing look emerged from the faces of all the others on the scene.

Lin Qiao turned her face away from Wu Chengyue's hand, then saw the zombies who were surrounding her no less than ten meters away. Noticing the look on their faces, she had her face darkened.

'What the hell are these zombies doing? Watching a show? They need to stay away!' she complained silently.
