Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Ready to Die
"Daughter-in-law, hurry up and go! I’ll hold it off!"
Zhang Chen’s face was full of righteous resolve, ready to sacrifice himself.
Bai Xiqin: ???
"Son, you must protect your daughter-in-law well. Leave this to me, and you all hurry up and go!"
As Zhang Chen said this, his expression was very serious, without a hint of hesitation or shyness.
Embracing a determination to die.
Leng Yebai: ...
"You..." Bai Xiqin rubbed her temples and pulled Zhang Chen behind her, "You should just hurry up and run!"
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai could escape into the space if they couldn’t fight it, but Zhang Chen, with his thin and small figure, at best would get stuck between the Zombie Whale’s teeth.
"No way, I must protect you all; it’s my responsibility."
Frost overflowed from Zhang Chen’s hand and was fiercely thrown in the direction of the Zombie Whale.
They were quite a distance from the Zombie Whale; no matter how far, he could hit the target because the Zombie Whale was just too large.
Zhang Chen looked extremely serious and exuded a sense of reliability.
Yet Bai Xiqin noticed the trembling of her fingers and the shaking of her legs.
She was merely a girl of seventeen or eighteen, in such situations, who wouldn’t be scared?
Bai Xiqin glanced at Leng Yebai, indeed, like father like son.
Whether it’s the older or the younger one, just with a face, they could drive countless little girls crazy.
Leng Yebai noticed Bai Xiqin’s gaze and quietly turned his sight away.
He didn’t feel particularly handsome, nor did he think he would make any young girls go crazy.
He just felt that that Base Commander might be somewhat disrespectful for his age.
Aside from that, finding a stepmother is okay too, but could they not find someone so young?
It might easily lower Xiao Niu’s rank!
Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin watched Zhang Chen struggle, already determined that the Base Commander is a troublemaker for young girls.
Actually, the words exchanged between the Base Commander and Zhang Chen were less than a hundred, and the Base Commander didn’t even remember Zhang Chen’s name.
Everything was just Zhang Chen’s wishful thinking.
Someone deep in their fantasy of love never considers themselves to be wishful thinking; even before the other party speaks, Zhang Chen already imagined a lifetime.
In this lifetime, she could help the Base Commander raise kids. To avoid the fear of abandonment for having kids, she would be fine even without them.
Even if that kid is older than her, she’s prepared to become the stepmother and step-grandmother.
There’s no way to outrun the Zombie Whale.
Only facing it is possible.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai naturally didn’t abandon Zhang Chen and run; who knows if the Base Commander might really end up with Zhang Chen.
In case it’s true, if Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai ran, it would be quite the ’great disobedience’.
Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin also made a move, a storm of energy thrown at the Zombie Whale.
"Roar—"
Massive chunks of rotten flesh once again fell from the Zombie Whale, its roar more furious this time than before.
Unable to think, it was fully provoked by Zhang Chen’s Death Energy, driving it madder.
"Daughter-in-law, son, why aren’t you running yet?"
Zhang Chen looked at the agitated Zombie Whale, feeling the ground shaking, and distractedly pushed Bai Xiqin.
"Don’t worry, nothing will happen."
Bai Xiqin stood still, focusing her spiritual power on the steel needle inside the Zombie Whale’s mouth, attacking the softest parts repeatedly, attempting to destroy the Zombie Whale’s brain.
It had already started to penetrate; sweat dripped from Bai Xiqin’s forehead.
But time was running out.
The Zombie Whale thrashed on the ground, its massive body crushing the beach, leaving a deep ravine wherever it went.
In the ravine, chunks of rotting flesh peeled off, emanating a pungent stench!
The three of them ran quite a distance; for the Zombie Whale, it wasn’t very far, just a few more strikes on the ground to reach them.
Bai Xiqin again smelled the stench from the Zombie Whale’s mouth.
The Zombie Whale opened its bloody maw, ready to bite the three with one gulp.
The mouth was shockingly large, easily swallowing all three at once.
Even if Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin were Fourth Rank peak Superpower Users, they couldn’t fend off a thirty-meter-long Zombie Whale.
Zhang Chen bravely blocked Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai, pushing them forward.
Though even if he did, the Zombie Whale’s bloody maw could still swallow them all whole.
Bai Xiqin held Leng Yebai’s hand, quickly moving towards Zhang Chen.
If escape was impossible, only entering the space was an option.
Revealing the space compared to saving a potential step-grandmother seemed more worthwhile.
After all, she was prepared to die for their sake.
"Xiao Niu!"
"Sister Tu!"
"Roar—"
Three voices echoed from one direction.
At the same time, Bai Xiqin sensed two powerful pressures bearing down.
She felt that the immense pressure made time almost stand still, momentarily forgetting to enter the space.
The Zombie Whale, with its bloody maw open, froze in place.
Bai Xiqin turned her head and saw Zhang Yiming, Fan Tangtang, and Xiao Lan Zombie.
Zhang Yiming’s stunned expression hadn’t dissipated, surrounded by an almost tangible chill.
"Sister Tu, hurry over here. We can’t hold on much longer."
Fan Tangtang’s anxious, tender voice came.
"Okay!"
Bai Xiqin quickly grabbed Zhang Chen’s wrist and ran towards Zhang Yiming with Leng Yebai.
Zhang Yiming stepped towards the Zombie Whale, eyes cold.
His small body, in comparison to the massive Zombie Whale, was like an ephemera against a giant.
Yet, by just standing there, he rendered the giant immobile.
His brainwaves had an absolute advantage over zombies on land, effortlessly controlling any Zombie King.
But against ocean titans, he held no special advantage.
Not even future him could use brainwaves to overpower a Zombie Whale.
Today, witnessing a scene that nearly stopped his heart, his brainwaves seemed to reach new heights.
The shackles binding him felt broken.
It was a sensation.
Destruction, devouring.
It was also a realization; unless he destroys everything, he’ll lose everything.
Perhaps because he consumed Ganmu, his brainwaves evolved to a higher level.
Sharper, absolute, frenzied, crushing everything.
Zhang Yiming stopped before the Zombie Whale, staring into its rotting eye, his own filled with undisguised hostility.
Though Zhang Yiming’s silhouette seemed like an ant against an elephant to the Zombie Whale, his presence quieted it down.
"Get back!"
Zhang Yiming’s voice was icily ruthless, as if capable of freezing everything solid.
"Roar—"
The Zombie Whale growled softly this time, lacking the previous aggressive fury, replaced with a touch of grievance.
Facing the small human body before it, capable of smashing him into pulp with its tail, it dared not advance an inch.
The brainwaves from him filled it with terror, prompting a hasty retreat.
A loud slamming sound echoed as the immense body flapped quickly towards the sea, its jumping power astonishing—faster even than when pursuing Bai Xiqin and her companions.
With a resounding splash, the Zombie Whale returned to the oceans.
