QT: Against My Will

174 3.20.79 – Last battle – Downfall of Humanity

Ren Han hugged her tighter. “Please. For me,” saying, his last words were almost inaudible.

“If I weren’t confident enough, I’d hide,” Bing Shi patted his arms in assurance, chuckling, “Why when we are finally getting close, there’s always something getting in between us?”

“Miss Bing Shi, people are waiting,” Qua Tao knocked on the door.

“See?” Bing Shi chuckled.

Ren Han held in a cuss. Feeling her wriggling in his hug, he retreated his arms, sighing, “After all of this, let’s get closer.”

Bing Shi stood up and put on her gas mask, “Sure, if we survive.”

“We will,” A flash of killing intent passed through his sharp dark eyes.

On the open field, millions of people watched the three most distinguished individuals with worshipping eyes. Standing on top of the platform, they emitted power and authority.

.....

“This is not war. We don’t wait for our enemy to surrender. There is no mercy. No forgiveness. No saving. It’s their loss, or ours. Nothing in between.” Yi Zen’s speech was short and blunt.

Bing Shi, knowing everyone’s struggles, spoke out, “Should I encourage everyone to find a purpose in life? A will to fight, when all we ever do is trying to survive? It was always do or die. But if you hang on a little longer, just a little bit longer, a miracle will occur. It always will.”

Ren Han was more than direct, “They already lost. It’s our win. I know you all like proof. I’ll be your proof.”

Nobody saw the face of that man in a black cloak. Shrouded in mystery, his validity made their legs swoon.

Back at the base, when Bing Shi didn’t want to hide, everyone started to protest. Those were evolved zombies; they were capable of logical thinking! It’s too dangerous for her!

Knowing it will be impossible to talk her out of it, Yi Zen made a drastic step. “Take her inside your space,” he spoke to Fu Lian when they were alone.

Fu Lian nodded in understanding.

But what did Bing Shi do?! To prove herself, she always used actions instead of words. When she saw Yi Zen and Fu Lian walking towards her, she stretched out her hand towards a nearby soldier. The soldier started to bump the barrier around his head, afraid to use skills against his head, he gasped for air. Another soldier started to panic when he lost all senses of his surroundings. There was no light, no sounds, no smell.

Everyone watched the scene in terror and looked around for the culprit.

“It was me,” Bing Shi called out and let go of the soldiers, smiling, “I’m not as weak as you thought, huh?”

“Why did you hide it until now?” Yi Zen’s expression turned dark.

Bing Shi shrugged off her shoulders, “To find and trap my enemies,” she waved at Fu Lian, “Thank you for providing a shelter for those in need. Those little ones are our future.”

“You don’t need to thank me,” Fu Lian took out a few bottles of her magical bottles and a box with sweet potatoes, handling them to Bing Shi, “Take it.”

Bing Shi accepted them with a grin, “Aw, thank you.”

Before Fu Lian could catch Bing Shi into her space, Bing Shi flew high into the sky.

“I’m in a hurry. Bye-bye ??,” saying, Bing Shi flew out of the base.

Now, everyone doubted Bing Shi’s fighting skills. Did she really didn’t know how to fight? They thought about the times when she’d always run away from the combat like a scared chicken.

Not waiting for the zombies to appear at their doorstep, Yi Zen’s and Ren Han’s people tried to track down the zombie emperor. Ren Han boosted everyone’s confidence when he used his power to use a nuclear bomb to kill millions of zombies in one shot. Sadly, he lost all the nuclei in the process.

Definitely the strongest man.

Or not?

Yi Zen didn’t hold back and used his secret arsenal of weapons.

Bing Shi was right. Humans were the scariest! Not slacking down, they were on high alert at all times. That zombie emperor or emperors could appear among them at any time.

Ren Han’s and Yi Zen’s base started to back down, feeling tired.

As zombies didn’t need any rest, they fought days and nights in full strength. Day by day, the zombies got closer and closer to the Central city, reaching it, the battle continued nonstop. On Bing Shi’s side, every four hours, a new batch of citizens would switch places with the battered ones.

[“Kuro, who might be the one controlling them?”]

[I don’t know.]

Above all, Bing Shi sitting atop of Kuro’s head switched from a defense mode to an attack mode. After observing the chaotic battlefield, crushing a speed pill, she targetted all the zombies which could move in an inhuman speed, fly, or teleport. After she carried hundreds of zombies before a group of attackers, the fire users manipulated their powers to burn them all down.

The amount of zombies was endless. Despite the number of dead bodies, they didn’t seem to lessen. Bing Shi watched in desperation as one citizen after another fell prey to the undead.

Switching back to defense mode, she protected the humans from being scratched or bitten.

On the other side, there were battles with a single person taking down hundreds of zombies at a time. They usually fought alone or with a wind user. These human monsters were mainly from the combat bases; Earth users were burrowing zombies deep under the ground, Fire users were dissolving and melting all bodies with their heat manipulation. Water users were drying those corpses until they become dust. While wind users were here to act as a support, they created windshields and grouped up zombies for their teammates to take down.

Meanwhile, in the front lines, there was Yi Zen and Ren Han. For everyone’s safety, they fought far away from the main battlefield. Food from Fu Qin and water from Fu Lian enabled them to fight without a break. Being a primary threat, one of them lured out the zombie emperor.
