Xu Qian couldn't see what it was, but she knew Wang Shangdong was a transformation-type esper.
People like him were the hardest to catch. He could transform into anything.
Wang Shangdong, in the form of a rat, panted. This woman seemed to know where he was!
If this continued, his esper ability would eventually run out. He needed to find a way to escape!
Wang Shangdong ran while observing his surroundings. The ground was littered with corpses. Where could he possibly escape to?
Since the woman could sense his location, it was useless to transform into anything.
His rat eyes narrowed, and his body grew even smaller. He turned and dashed towards the cafeteria.
The worst-case scenario: entering the sewers!
This was the highest floor. The pipes leading downstairs were long. Even if she had wings, she wouldn't be able to catch up.
Wang Shangdong's running speed increased.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes. Something was wrong...
The little green dot had been running aimlessly earlier, but now it was heading straight for the cafeteria?
She turned and instructed, "Xiao Lu, circle around to the back of the cafeteria. If you see anything that moves, be it a rat, a fly, or an insect, kill it all."
"Okay."
With both of them attacking from front and back, Wang Shangdong gritted his teeth and ran hard into the cafeteria. His body's energy was dwindling.
His Level 3 transformation esper ability could only last for two hours, and that was in a static state. Running and jumping like this, he wouldn't last half an hour.
As soon as he entered the cafeteria, a strong meaty aroma wafted towards him.
For some reason, Xu Qian felt a little nauseous.
Suddenly, a black mass darted under a dining chair.
Xu Qian stared coldly. So he had transformed into a rat.
She flicked a wisp of mental energy at it. Wang Shangdong's esper ability was depleted, and he was hit squarely.
The rat fell to the ground, squeaking, and then transformed back into an adult man.
Wang Shangdong spat out a mouthful of blood. He glared at Xu Qian and said coldly, "What deep-seated hatred do I have with you?"
He had run through several floors, and there wasn't a single living person, only corpses.
This meant the Shangdong Base was already finished.
Xu Qian said coldly, "People like you deserve to live in hell."
Wang Shangdong let out a "噗" sound and laughed, his eerie laughter echoing through the empty cafeteria.
"Don't you have to go to hell as well?"
"Look at yourself, how many people have you killed... If anyone is going, you'll be reporting there first."
Xu Qian's expression remained unchanged. She said faintly, "Even in hell, I can pound you into meat paste."
She swung her long saber and slashed at him fiercely.
Wang Shangdong rolled to the side in a sorry state. He clasped his hands together and rubbed them, two large palms crackling with lightning, transforming into small knives that flew towards her.
Xu Qian dodged them all effortlessly.
The man's face was deathly pale; he was clearly at his limit.
He knew he was cornered and began to curse profusely, hurling the vilest insults.
"You bitch, you can say anything bad."
Suddenly, a pale, large hand gripped his neck.
The man's head instantly separated from his body, and his corpse "啪" onto the ground.
The young man's eyes were dark, his hands covered in blood that dripped from his fingertips.
"Qian, I really couldn't stand listening anymore."
Xu Qian's dark eyes flickered slightly, showing no signs of blame.
"Come here."
Xiao Ping lowered his gaze and obediently walked over.
He had never killed anyone like this in front of Xu Qian before.
The killing intent of a zombie had taken over him, and his human instincts had been completely discarded in that moment.
Xu Qian's hands were also covered in dried blood. Her light-covered clothes ensured she remained clean, but her skin was another matter.
With a thought, a packet of wet wipes appeared in her hand.
The girl personally wiped the blood clean from his hands, revealing his long, pale palms.
"It's okay."
"Hm?"
Xiao Ping's green eyes locked onto her small face. If his heart could pound, it would surely be racing like a startled rabbit.
