Crossdressing To Survive An Apocalypse - Chapter 366: Trust the process
“Now is the chance!! Yue, run!!!” Shao dashed at it and in the fog, Yue could not see anything.
Suddenly he felt something grab onto his leg.
He hurriedly swung his sword down, but to his surprise, a small ding was heard and his sword was sliced in two.
“What the….” Yue backed away instantly but that string-like thing attached to his leg moved along with him spinning around his body like a cocoon… “Shao, what kind of a zombie is this?”
“I don’t know.” Shao’s voice was heard from the other side of the room. “Just run!”
It was all too late to run now.
Yue’s body was already tangled up in that staring. Nothing he did could break it.
Slowly that smoke started to dull his vision.
Yue used his fire to burn it but it was of no use.
His eyes started to water up and slowly he started to feel his body slowly lose control. the silky strings soon covered his neck and proceed to wind their way up his face “Shao….” He whispered with difficulty.
“Fuck. Yue!” Shao tried to run to him but the zombie did not give him the chance. It kept attacking him in every single direction.
Like a frozen statue, you watched their fight with his eyes wide open. he had never felt this powerless before.
‘I’m…. I’m helpless.,’
He thought he would at least be able to take care of himself, but standing in front of this monstrous zombie he could not even move.
‘no… I should have run when he asked me to…’
Once he had read in a random book that said comfort leaves you weak. He did not think much of it. But right now, he had a drifting feeling that it was true.
He got comfortable in the base and this was the result of it.
He was weak.
Zou Yue gritted his teeth and slowly moved his hand out of the cocoon. ‘I refuse to be weak…. I need to do something.’
“Shao! Get… close….!” He shouted though the silk covering his face.
“What?!” Shao shouted back. “what’s close? ….”
“Come here!” he struggled to hold up his hand. His fire couldn’t defeat the mist and the silk covering his body, but something else can.
“Wait just a bit Yue… I’ll free you!” Shao shouted back and continued to struggle with it.
Yue gritted his teeth. “Why… won’t you… listen….” the silken cocoon muffled his words
“Huh? what did you say?!” Shao shouted back as he stabbed ta the zombie.
The creature dodged it with ease and threw out a huge ball of what looked like spider silk.
“Trust me…” Yue growled with difficulty.
Shao’s eyes met his monetarily. “True what? I really can’t hear you properly….,”
‘Oh my god… bloody understand what I’m trying to tell you!!! this is why it’s hard to fight with others!!’ Yue struggled to move his body and slowly he got close to Shao.
‘Change of plans…’
If he can’t copy the zombie’s ability, he night as well copy his cousins.
Luckily Shao rolled down to his feet after he dodged a huge spider web from that creature. “Here,” Shao handed a dagger to his outstretched hand. “hold on, okay? Just stab at it when it gets close. I won’t let anything happen to you. I swear on my life.,”
Yue mentally rolled his eyes but he quickly took the dagger. Subtly his fingers touched his cousin’s hand, copying his powers. “I can deal with this.” he took control of a portion of metal and formed it into a small sharp knife.
he swung at the cocoon freeing himself successfully.
“What the fuck!” Shao gazed up at him in shock. “You’re not fire?”
“I never said It was my power.” Yue pushed him back and attacked the zombie with the mental ability.
Albeit he was not that good at using it but even so he still managed to push that zombie back slightly.
Shao got up and quickly joined him and they both worked hard to trap that thing inside.
“Do your nail thing.” Yue urged him.
“Well, I can’t do that when it’s running around like that,” Shao grunted as he rushed in with a metal spear.
Yue frowned deeply. They couldn’t keep this fight up. he had already noticed a lag in Shao’s moves. if this went on, they will soon lose energy and the zombie would have devoured them.
He gazed at the silk that he had torn out of. ‘Maybe… but I have to touch it.’
“Shao, let’s trap it on three sides and move it towards me.” He quickly formed a huge wall of metal and trapped the zombie toward his side.
Shao looked at him in shock. “What are you doing? This is suicide!”
“Just trust me this once. I can take it down!! Come on.” He glared at him.
“Fuck it… I hope you have a plan,” cussing out loud Shao caged the zombie with another huge metal wall and pushed it toward Yue.
“growlllll!!!!” the zombie shouted loudly when it noticed that it was being trapped. It charged at the only target it could find close by. That was Yue.
Yue hurriedly trapped on the zombie’s back, copying its powers, and moved back.
But what he did not realize was that there was rubble right behind him.
He tripped and fell on his back.
The creature by then had gotten a hold of his hand.
He watched in horror as the zombie bit into his leg.
“AHHH!!!!!” he instantly used his copied powers to hit the zombie with a huge web trapping it in a cocoon.
“Yue!!!!” Shao immediately formed a huge wall of sword and stabbed the creature right in its neck. This time he successfully stabbed a nail through the back of its neck.
The zombie froze like a statue with its mouth still on his leg.
“Fuck!” Shao pulled it off and held his leg with a deep frown. “I thought you had it under control!”
“I did! but the rubble here…” Yue sat up glaring at the pile of broken bricks. He had not taken his environment into consideration when he trapped the zombie. It was entirely his fault.
His eyes fell on the gaping wound. his torn skin was rapidly turning black. “fuck….” He hurriedly untied his belt and tied it around his thighs. “Cut my leg off…”
Shao frowned. “Your healer. He can heal you, right?”
“It will take longer to go back. I won’t make it, just cut it.”
Shao sat down and held his hand. “Cutting it is useless. Level six zombie’s infection cannot be stopped like that…I’ve tried it……” he gazed at him sorrowfully. “Yue, let’s get you home…”
“No…” Yue licked his dry lips. He sat up, gazing at his leg. It had already turned black. He did not have time. He tightly gripped Shao’s sleeve. “I… I want you to… kill me…. With my powers, I will be a very dangerous zombie. S-so… just kill me now before I turn.”
