Mind control

Two minutes later, everyone in the Residential Camp had gathered on the platform. As Liu Feng had instructed, none of them looked directly into the eyes of the little zombie on the street, which glowed an eerie blue.

Yet in that brief span of time, zombies had already crowded the area beneath the platform. They scrambled over one another to cling to the walls, hungry growls spilling constantly from their mouths.

Liu Feng frowned slightly and immediately summoned nearly 200,000 LV3 Iron-toothed Insects to attack. With support from their firearms, all several hundred zombies lay dead on the ground within minutes.

The little zombie with the eerie blue eyes still stood at the far end of the pitch-black street.

She stared fixedly at Liu Feng on the platform, waiting for the moment he met her eyes.

Just as she began to lose patience, Liu Feng suddenly raised his head and fixed her with a vicious glare.

She seized the opportunity instantly. Her eyes blazed with an eerie blue light several times brighter than before, determined to succeed in a single attempt. She could sense that this human posed a far greater threat than anyone beside him.

Just as she was about to succeed, rows of pale yellow lights suddenly hurtled toward her. Before she could figure out what they were, explosions erupted before her eyes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

LV2 Exploding Insects already had the power to blast a zombie into minced flesh in an instant. So when hundreds upon thousands of Exploding Insects took flight, Liu Feng already knew how the little zombie would end up.

A flash of white light swept past, and the explosion instantly blasted a huge crater into the ground. When the smoke cleared, nothing remained but a foul-smelling smear of blood.

At the sight, the corners of Liu Feng's mouth lifted slightly. He gave a contemptuous snort and said, "No matter how strong you are, you can't withstand my Exploding Insects!"

With that, Liu Feng turned to head back and rest. Just then, however, another person on the platform grabbed the railing and jumped over it.

Liu Feng froze, an uncontrollable shudder running through his heart.

"She's still alive?!"

Liu Feng leaned over the platform railing, searching everywhere for that eerie blue light. If he failed to deal with her, disaster could follow. She might even control everyone in the Residential Camp, one by one, until they were all dead.

"Where the fuck are you?"

Suddenly, Liu Feng's eyes lit up.

"Found you at last!"

Behind a large tree beside the street, an eerie blue light flickered continuously.

By then, she had bewitched another person.

Liu Feng frowned slightly, snatched up a rifle, and slammed it into the back of the bewitched man's head. With a muffled grunt, the man collapsed to the ground.

"Fuck! Let's see if I can't deal with you today!"

With a sweep of Liu Feng's hand, nearly 100,000 Parasitic Insects dropped straight to the ground. They wriggled rapidly, frantically searching for hosts.

In the blink of an eye, the Parasitic Insects had taken control of more than a dozen ordinary zombies.

Under Liu Feng's control, the zombies began closing in on the little zombie.

"Iron-toothed Insects, you're up again!"

At his words, tens of thousands of Iron-toothed Insects formed a massive silver shield and swiftly launched an attack on the little zombie.

After all, the little zombie had only just developed a measure of intelligence. Compared with a normal human, she still fell far short.

Dozens of ordinary zombies hemmed the little zombie in tightly, leaving her unable to move.

By then, the Iron-toothed Insects were also in position.

With a sweep of Liu Feng's hand, the Iron-toothed Insects launched a ferocious attack.

Amid a dazzling flare of eerie blue light, the little zombie finally met her end.

[Ding! Killed an ordinary zombie. EXP +10]

[Ding! Killed an Ordinary Zombie. EXP +10]

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully killing "Mutant Zombie LV2" (mind control type). Gained 1,000 EXP.]

...

[Ding! Killed an Ordinary Zombie. EXP +10]

Only after hearing the system notifications did Liu Feng finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"So she was a mind control zombie. No wonder she could make so many people lose their minds!"

Looking at the system notification, Liu Feng sank into thought.

So far, he had encountered strength-type zombies like the hulking one from before, and mind control zombies like the one that had confused everyone today.

Liu Feng had no way of predicting what kind of zombie he would encounter next. All he could do now was increase his strength as quickly as possible. Only then could he face unknown dangers with composure.

At that moment, Han Bing gradually woke up where he lay on the platform. Seeing seven or eight heads gathered in front of him, he could not help feeling a little frightened.

"Ahem, what... what are you all doing?"

Liu Feng smiled and crouched before him, teasing, "Han Bing, weren't you going to rescue a damsel in distress? Go on, then!"

At the mention of that, Han Bing seemed to remember something. He sprang to his feet with a kip-up. Under everyone's gaze, he stared in confusion at the huge crater at the end of the street.

"Brother Feng, something's wrong. Where... where's that girl?"

With a smile on his face, Liu Feng shook his head helplessly and left the platform.

"Hey, didn't any of you see her? Just now, there was someone wearing..."

Before Han Bing could finish, the fat man beside him cut him off.

"Come on, man, use your head, will you? If what you saw was real, do you think she could have appeared there alive?"

"Then... what did I see?" Han Bing asked uncertainly.

Uncle Ge shook his head and said quietly, with a helpless air, "This might upset you, but I don't want to hide it from you. What you saw was actually a zombie. One that could control people's minds!"

"Holy shit, that's impossible!" Han Bing's face was filled with shock. He could hardly believe any of it. "I clearly..."

This time, without waiting for Han Bing to explain, everyone picked up their guns and left the platform one after another.

"Boss, Brother Feng left instructions just now. You caused everyone quite a bit of trouble today, so you'll be taking tonight's watch."

"I..."

Watching their figures gradually disappear, Han Bing's mind became a tangled mess.

He remembered it clearly. There had definitely been a girl on the street, so why did everyone say there hadn't?

Refusing to believe it, Han Bing stared at the far end of the street and strained with all his might, but all he could see was darkness.

Could everyone be right? Was I bewitched by a zombie just now? Fuck, this is so embarrassing.

The next day.

Morning light shone through the dawn sky, awakening the sleeping earth as another day began.
