Chapter 535

: Dealt With It?
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
Presently, on the other side of the park, a minibus was quietly parked by the side of the road. Not far from the minibus, plenty of zombies’ corpses were lying on the ground.
If it were any other day, the corpses on the ground would have attracted all the zombies in the area. It seems that the Black Hole can indeed control zombies and mutant beasts,
said Zhang Hai to Sun Kun. They were both on the gunner room, observing the situation outside.
From their vantage point, they could see the moving Black Hole and its minions, which made them feel nervous. As for Jiang Liushi and the others, who were more powerful than them, they could vaguely see the Black Hole with their eyes through the minibus’ windows. Moreover, as psychic paranormal, Ran Xiyu could pinpoint and lock on its location from far away without disturbing the Black Hole. Hence, she was able to share its exact location with the others through her shared vision.

What strong mental fluctuations! It’s like a huge blob of light
exclaimed Jiang Liushi. Compared to the Black Hole’s vibrant light, the group’s flickering flames, as well as the humans, the others were dull. At the same time, many glowing tentacles were being released from the big blob of light

Those can be called mental tentacles, like the antennae of an insect. They are the Black Hole’s sensory organs, which can help it find food, choose the direction and control the surrounding preys,
said Ran Xiyu.
Upon a close look, the glowing tentacles were countless. They were spread around the Black Hole, forming a special circle. Those tentacles were connected to the mutant zombies and beasts, moving them around at its will. They all had become the Black Hole puppets.
They were all scared after seeing that. In addition, there were some mutant beasts and zombies, which also exuded strong mental fluctuations. They also had mental tentacles, which were connected with a few mutant zombies and beasts.
‘Those should be assimilated mutant beasts, which are equivalent to the Black Hole’s avatars,’ thought Jiang Liushi.

I’m not that confident that the Assault Team can stop them,
said Ling.
How powerful was Ran Xiyu’s mental energy? It was almost impossible for any psychic paranormal in the Assault Team to contend with her. Not to mention detect her! She had already covered the area where the Assault Team was situated and nobody had felt anything!

Let’s wait and observe them first,
said Jiang Liushi.
There were too many mutant zombies and beasts protecting the Black Hole, which even his minibus could not kill fast enough. They needed to wait for an opportunity.
1 km…
800m…
The Black Hole was steadily getting closer to the park. In fact, when it appeared at the edge of the park, it was overshadowed by the tall buildings.
In the moment that it approached a huge building, a deafening sound reverberated through the area, while thick billowing smoke and raging fire made their appearance. At the same time, the building collapsed, killing half of the mutant beasts and zombies in the front of the Black Hole.
The Assault Team had detonated the bombs planted in the building! But that was not all, as more explosions followed from all directions!

Open fire!
Han Yuan waved his hand.
Suddenly, long tongues of fire were blown from the tanks’ cannons as well as the guns’ muzzles. A dense hail of bullets and cannon shells covered the sky, before raining upon the Black Hole.
The successive explosions shook the earth, shattered everything glass-related and cracks appeared on many buildings. As for the bricks around the Black Hole, they were all destroyed, turning into dust and debris. The whole area was charred black and dense black smoke billowed from everywhere. The shower of bullets and cannon shells, aiming at the a single target, had even wiped a handful of level-2 mutant beasts.

Did we kill it?

The soldiers looked at the battlefield nervously, while the paranormals widened their eyes in surprise.

It’s definitely dead!
said Tang Cangyun in excitement.
That was the power of modern weapons. It was precisely because of modern weapons that humanity was able to establish Safety Zones. Level-2 mutant zombies had very strong and flexible bodies, so general guns could not kill them. But it was different for heavy weapons as they could easily injure them, especially in such a concentrated attack like that one. The only drawback was that the ammunition’s consumption was extremely high. If the military were to keep using its heavy arsenal like that, they would have long run out of ammunition.
Although the Huaxia Region had resumed the production of weapons and ammunition, the other Regions had not reached that level. Even if a few of them were able to resume production that would only be on a small scale. Thus, they would still need to use ammunition conservatively. However, in such a critical moment, such restrictions had been lifted for the greater good.
Everyone was staring at the smoke-covered area with halted breaths. They had only one question in their minds; was the Black Hole dead, or not?
Gradually, the smoke started dissipating. At first glance, they could all see a lot of severed limbs and mutilated corpses, which belonged to mutant beasts and zombies. Then, a black cluster of unidentified objects appeared in everyone’s visions. After that, they saw a second cluster and even a third!
‘The Black Hole was blown apart!
shouted a soldier in excitement.
The paranormals had seen that before the soldiers, as well as more black objects that were scattered in pieces.

Was it really blown apart?
Wei Feifei stood up with a confused expression on her face. At the same time, she kind of excited.

Great!
Peach was also surprised, unable to close her small mouth.
Currently, almost everyone was cheering. They didn’t expect that the Black Hole could have been dealt with that easily.

It’s not that simple.
Jiang Liushi had also stood up in the minibus, looking out through the window.
Starseed could still sense that they were in danger. The threat was still looming over their heads. That feeling could be described as a strong desire, just like the desire a beast got after smelling the blood of a powerful opponent. The desire was born from instinct.
In the Commander’s battle tank, Han Yuan was shaking his head. It seemed that he didn’t believe what he was seeing. Although the squad that had been sent prior to theirs hadn’t as powerful weapons as the Assault Squad had, they were not to be trifled with either. How could the Black Hole have been killed so easily?
Suddenly, everyone’s voices seemed to have been stuck in their throats. They all widened their eyes in shock as the black clusters that were all over the place hovered above the ground and started absorbing the surrounding parts, reassembling them back together.
In a few seconds, the Black Hole reappeared before everyone – intact! It was as if the bombardment had never happened!
The Black Hole was still moving slowly. Although it was not fast, everyone felt like someone had grabbed them from their necks while a cold wave of air suddenly passed through the soles of their shoes all the way up to their heads. It was a ghastly spectacle!
Everyone wondered in terror why the bombardment had left the Black Hole unscathed! That simply subverted everyone’s perception!
Jiang Liushi was not an exception, he too was flabbergasted. He already knew that they hadn’t killed it but he hadn’t expected that it would have recovered in such a short amount of time, and without a scratch to top that.
‘Earlier, it was scattered in different places… The bombs worked as it divided it…’ Jiang Liushi thought of something.
At the same time, inside the combat tank, Han Yuan’s eyes lit up!

Yes! That’s what I was searching for all this time! The Black Hole is not a mutant beast, but a body of Black Light Energy! I have to get it!
said Han Yuan in a low voice, clenching his fists.
If Jiang Liushi was present, he would be surprised. How could Han Yuan also know about Black Light? Jiang Liushi had learned about it from Starseed, what about him?

Dmn! Fck!
cursed Tang Cangyun in a trembling voice.
Look! It- it’s coming this way!

After reassembling, the Black Hole changed its direction. Its targets were the tanks and armoured vehicles at the other end of the park.

How- what can we do!?
Peach said in a stuttered voice. Her complexion was deathly pale and she was clenching Wei Feifei’s hands tightly. She had witnessed with her own eyes how the Black Hole had swallowed the corpses on the ground in the process of reassembling. That kind of feeling was even more terrible than being shredded to pieces by a group of zombies. She didn’t want to die that way!
Upon thinking that her delicate body would be swallowed slowly while she was still conscious, Peach was almost scared to death. Wei Feifei hugged Peach tightly. Although she was mentally strong, she had no way to face that undead monster. After all, the memory of that monster swallowing the entire Hejiang Town was still fresh in her mind.
Wei Feifei found the courage and said,
Don’t be afraid! We are here to destroy it!

Wei Feifei was born and raised in Jiangming. When the virus had infected everyone, she had lost all her family and friends. She would never allow a similar catastrophe befall the Jiangming Safety Zone. Wei Feifei’s little hand clenched the hand of Peach. Although she was only 17 years old, at this time the girl’s delicate and childish face was full of perseverance.

All members! Prepare!
Han Yuan’s sounded suddenly through the intercom.
Upon hearing that voice, Tang Cangyun stumbled backwards. His hands were trembling from fear. Earlier, that he hadn’t witnessed the Black Hole’s horror first-hand, he was filled with arrogance. But now, not even a shred of arrogance remained. He had fallen into despair as he didn’t believe there was anything that could harm the Black Hole.

We will follow our original plan and fight! We have to fight! Behind us is the Jiangming Safety Zone! If we go back now, how will we be able to face our compatriots? Many of you have relatives and friends back to the Safety Zone! By defending the Safety Zone, you’re defending your loved ones, your home! Even if we flee, it will be a matter of time for the Safety Zone to fall! At that time, where will we go!? Steel your hearts and move forward!
said Han Yuan passionately through the intercom.
The present paranormals may be relatively strong and capable of staying alive, but their relatives and friends were in the Safety Zone. After listening to Han Yuan’s inspiring speech, many people could feel their blood boil.

I don’t believe that we can’t fight against a black block!


Come on!


If it can’t die with a single explosion, we will blow it ten more times!

Some people were passionate, while others had the same mindset as Tang Changyun.
‘Fckers! If the sky falls down, tall men will support it! Are they eager to meet their Maker that soon!?’
