Chapter 64: Enemies Face to Face

As for Dongfang Tian, who had originally strived to be the strongest, he now had the least right to speak. Seeing Jiang Yi staring at him, he grimly swept a fierce glare over them, took two steps back, and turned to roar at the only three people left behind him: "What are you still looking at? Go and find the medicine!"

Seeing Dongfang Tian back down, Jiang Yi then swept his gaze across everyone present: "Now, everyone go look for medicine! I will only give you all half an hour. After half an hour, everyone must leave!"

A large number of living humans gathered on the first floor had long since stimulated the endless zombies on the second and third floors. If they didn't leave as soon as possible, being surrounded by zombies was no joke!

Li Huiyu and Zhu Caijun obviously knew the gravity of the situation as well. Ceasing their banter, they quickly led their people to search for the precious medicines!

Jiang Yi's face looked somewhat poor, and his body swayed for a moment before being immediately steadied by Kento: "Jiang Yi, are you alright?"

Jiang Yi shook his head: "I'm fine, just a bit exhausted. Accompany Hanshu and collect some things that are useful to us! Opportunities to find medicine in the future won't be many!"

Though deeply worried about Jiang Yi, Kento still nodded, and together with Guo Hanshu, they picked up their backpacks and headed toward the warehouse that had already been located.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yi slowly walked out of the building step by step, sitting gently on the steps and sighing as he looked at the littered ground in front of the building. The non-stop fighting over the past two days had left him not only physically exhausted, but mentally so tired it was hard to breathe. He could tell that earlier, Guo Hanshu had truly wanted to kill Dongfang Tian, and even he himself had wished Guo Hanshu could kill Dongfang Tian with a single sword stroke, but he could not let Guo Hanshu do such a thing!

Aside from the fact that Dongfang Tian's reputation was truly massive—with people in the cafeteria whispering his name every single day—the most important thing was that he did not want Guo Hanshu to stain her hands with the blood of a living person; he feared she would live the rest of her life in remorse.

Still, Dongfang Tian was indeed a very major problem for him, along with Zhu Caijun. Even Li Huiyu—Jiang Yi couldn't quite figure out what he was really thinking.

Li Gang was likewise his enemy, but perhaps having been frightened out of his wits by him afterward, Li Gang had never bothered him again. Disliking trouble, Jiang Yi wouldn't have minded finding an opportunity to finish him off, but now Li Huiyu had suddenly joined forces with Li Gang. Jiang Yi, who had originally paid Li Gang no mind, fell silent. The current situation was simply too terrible for him.

Just as he was wondering what to do, a low voice suddenly echoed in his ears: "Be careful, don't lure the zombies over. What bad luck, how did it fall to the two of us to go on duty again today?"

"Stop complaining. That incident with Jiang Yi last time has already made Gao Wei extremely dissatisfied with us! You're not stupid; can't you tell that Gao Wei doesn't value the two of us as much anymore? Be careful, brother. Before long, there probably won't be any place for the two of us by Gao Wei's side anymore!"

Jiang Yi snapped up from his squat, his eyes overflowing with murderous intent as his left hand instinctively gripped the skull-cleaving blade!

After a moment of thought, Jiang Yi didn't charge out directly. Instead, he leaned back into the shadows cast by the sunlight. Before long, he saw two male students advancing cautiously while chatting with each other. Clearly, their relationship was very close, and they looked out for each other's blind spots with practiced familiarity.

Jiang Yi gnashed his teeth viciously: "Shen Tong! Wang Hai!"

Never would Jiang Yi have imagined that right now, just as he was about to return to the cafeteria, he would happen to run into the people he hated most.

He watched as the two men approached. One was tall and fierce-looking, carrying a thick, all-metal spiked club in his hand. The other was as fat as a pig, but lacking any kind of endearing amiability; instead, his sinister, hanging-eyed expression made it entirely clear he was no good man!

It was these two who, a few days ago when Jiang Yi went together with them to the female dormitory, had ambushed him and left him nearly dying from zombie poison!

Of all times, fate had finally granted him the opportunity to encounter them acting alone!

Seeing that their destination was also the medical building, and that the pillar he was hiding behind was right on their path, Jiang Yi decided to drop his concealment. He stepped out and stood directly in front of them: "Gentlemen, long time no see."

Shen Tong and Wang Hai were initially startled by whatever had happened here, and as they tensed up, Jiang Yi's sudden appearance scared the wits out of both of them. "Jiang Yi! A ghost!" screamed Shen Tong, whose strength had been enhanced, only to have Wang Hai clap a hand over his mouth: "What are you yelling blindly for? What ghost?! It's Jiang Yi? You actually didn't die?!"

Jiang Yi walked down casually, stopping right in front of the two of them: "What? Are you very disappointed to see that I'm not dead?"

Shen Tong and Wang Hai exchanged a glance, then suddenly broke into ferocious grins: "Yeah! Not getting to see you get eaten by zombies got us chewed out by others, and I've been holding back this frustration for a long time!"

Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "What should we do about that then? Perfect, I've also been meaning to settle accounts with you two properly!"

"Go to hell!" Shen Tong, who had already been gathering his strength, suddenly exploded into motion, swinging the spiked club in his hand straight down at Jiang Yi's head!

"Hum!" The heavy spiked club carried a terrifying momentum! "Boom!" It smashed heavily into the floor tiles, shattering them into stone dust!

Seeing this from behind, Wang Hai's pupils dilated instantly: "Shen Tong! Look out behind you!"

Jiang Yi reached out and pressed down on Shen Tong's shoulder, scaring Shen Tong into hastily whipping around with a sweeping strike! But Jiang Yi had already stepped out of range a fraction of a second earlier.

This sight shocked both Shen Tong and Wang Hai. Staring at Jiang Yi in horror, Wang Hai said in a deep voice: "You awakened!"

Looking at the trembling pair, Jiang Yi pulled the saber from his waist with a savage grin: "That's right, and I really ought to thank you. If you hadn't plotted against me and filled me with such a strong desire for revenge, I might not have managed to pull through that agonizing transformation!"

Wang Hai also put away his earlier nonchalance, solemnly unhooking a heavy steel blade from his back! This weapon resembled a rural straw-cutter used for livestock; the spine of the blade was thick and heavy, the body wide and long, and the edge razor-sharp!

With such a massive blade laid out there, it inspired instinctive dread. Having drawn his weapon, Wang Hai regained some of his courage: "Hmph, so what if you awakened? It's only been a few days, I don't believe you could be stronger than us! Shen Tong, let's take him down together!"

The two of them charged at Jiang Yi simultaneously. Wang Hai's blade swept directly for Jiang Yi's head, while Shen Tong's copper club cunningly smashed toward Jiang Yi's ankles!

They had used this tactic countless times before, and even evolved zombies had fallen to their combined attacks!

Yet this time, the one they faced was Jiang Yi. Having long since been wise to their dirty tricks, how could Jiang Yi fail to guard against this? He stepped back with his body while his left-hand black blade still parried Wang Hai's heavy chopper!

At the same time, he lifted his right foot and kicked straight at the sweeping copper club!

Seeing Jiang Yi's movement, the two felt a surge of elation, internally mocking him for overestimating himself. After all, Shen Tong's strength was enhanced; a single blow from his club could shatter the bones and tendons even of an evolved zombie!

"Clang!" With a muffled strike, the immense force caused Jiang Yi's body to sink, yet the black blade slowly began to bite into the edge of Wang Hai's weapon!

Wang Hai pressed down with all his might, but the sight of his own blade being steadily sliced into by that thin black blade gave him a sudden jolt of terror!

Shen Tong was equally horrified, because his full-strength club blow had been cleanly pinned to the ground by Jiang Yi's foot!

Jiang Yi was not arrogant enough to match strength with a strength-enhanced individual head-on; he had simply utilized his superior speed to stomp down on the spiked club just as it swept past his feet!

Even so, Shen Tong's terrifying force made Jiang Yi's right foot go numb!

Frowning, Jiang Yi suddenly exerted force, slicing through the sharp chopper with his blade and launching a flying kick straight into Shen Tong's chest!

The two retreated simultaneously, but Jiang Yi did not give them a single moment to recover. Gripping the saber with both hands, he charged fiercely at Shen Tong. Before Shen Tong—whose chest felt oppressed from the kick—could react, a flash of black light descended, followed by the heavy thud of his club-wielding arm crashing onto the ground!

Excruciating pain caused Shen Tong to clutch his arm and shriek, while Wang Hai turned tail and fled in terror! He had seen the ruthless, unhesitating deadliness in Jiang Yi's eyes as he severed Shen Tong's arm!

Rolling on the ground in a pool of blood, Shen Tong screamed as he watched Wang Hai's retreating back: "Wang Hai, save me! Take me with you..."

Jiang Yi sneered, his body suddenly shooting forward. His speed of 19 made him vastly faster than the fat Wang Hai. Wang Hai had only run a few steps before his vision darkened. Looking up, he saw the expressionless Jiang Yi and recoiled in fright!

Yet Jiang Yi's blade was already thrusting toward his chest!

Wang Hai crossed his arms to block. The sharp blade swept across his forearms, leaving behind only two shallow bloody trails!

An edge that could slice through an ordinary person's arms had left only minor scratches on Wang Hai, but Jiang Yi's murderous intent had already penetrated Wang Hai's psyche. That strike felt like the hand of a demon, an image Wang Hai knew he would never shake off.

Squatting on the ground and panting heavily, Wang Hai yelled, "Jiang Yi, you can't kill me! I have defense enhancement, your blade fundamentally cannot kill me!"

Jiang Yi frowned. That last strike had felt like hitting a massive tree trunk—resistant and sluggish. Hearing Wang Hai's defiant roar, he suddenly raised his head: "Thanks for the reminder!"

Without a moment's hesitation, the blade in his hand thrust straight for Wang Hai's throat! Wang Hai was startled, hurriedly raising his arms to block, but the expected pain never came. Confused, he lifted his head, only to find that Jiang Yi had vanished from right in front of him!

Jiang Yi stood directly behind Wang Hai, holding the spiked club Shen Tong had dropped on the ground, and viciously smashed it down onto the back of Wang Hai's head!

Wang Hai's body swayed, glanced back at Jiang Yi once, and then his heavy, fat frame crashed hard onto the ground!

Jiang Yi panted a couple of times and tossed the club aside; items meant for strength-enhanced users were still a bit too unwieldy for him to use comfortably.

Feeling strength return to his arms, Jiang Yi grabbed Wang Hai by the collar and dragged him toward Shen Tong! Having lost too much blood, Shen Tong was completely bloodless, his face pale as he watched Jiang Yi haul Wang Hai over like a dead pig, terrifying him into frantic pleading: "Jiang Yi, don't kill me, I'm begging you, we're classmates!"

Jiang Yi sneered: "Don't rush, you can't die just yet!" With that, ignoring Shen Tong's struggles, he grabbed both Shen Tong and Wang Hai by the collar and dragged them into the nearby woods...

What Jiang Yi failed to notice was that in the dark shadows at the entrance of the medical building, a delicate figure had witnessed the entire scene. Out of sheer tension, the marble pillar she was gripping had cracked under her fingers...
