Chapter 27: Chapter 26 Mind Power!_1

“Hiss…”

A muffled sound echoed. Under the impact of the car’s fierce crash, the skull of the nearly-dead zombie was lifted by the gunblade, causing the strange zombie to die completely.

However, something else was also tossed into the air along with the skull.

Li Ming took a few gasping breaths and quickly took out a bottle of saline solution to replenish the fluids he’d lost during the intense fight. The entire battle had happened in a very short amount of time.

From the moment he spotted the zombie using his superior vision and tried to escape, to the moment he was discovered by the zombie, frantically drove the car into it and finished it off, all of it took less than three minutes.

But whether it was leaping from the car or facing the psychological pressure of the mysterious zombie, or the tension of racing up and launching a quick attack, all of this was unparalleled, so much so that despite the short duration, his energy depletion was extremely rapid.

Li Ming had some realization inside. The slight improvement in his swordsmanship and gun handling had enhanced his abilities overall. His skills of blocking and thrusting with a gun, stabbing with a sword were excellent, and his lower body stability had achieved the same level. Only then could he have performed so many actions while the car was moving at high speed.

Actually, he was also somewhat surprised. The stunts he carried out in movies turned out to be quite smooth, without feeling much pressure.

Li Ming also thought of his fast recovering bed skills… it seemed that the panel’s enhancement was more miraculous than he had imagined.

As his mind spun rapidly, with the death of the mysterious zombie, a weight lifted from Li Ming’s heart. His eyes scanned the area, and he suddenly spotted something strange up ahead.

A white crystal, diamond-shaped, was floating in the air about a meter off the ground.

The crystal seemed to carry a certain attraction, although it was transparent, it still caught the eye right away with its unique presence.

“What is this thing?”

Li Ming felt as though a mysterious attraction had emerged in his heart — to touch it.

His heart pounded uncontrollably, immediately linking this to the strange behavior of the zombie. Could it be that this crystal was responsible for the zombie’s uniqueness?

Or could it be… this unique zombie had condensed this crystal?

To find such a strange existence among the zombies was chilling enough, but the sight in front of him was even more startling.

What exactly had the world become?

Li Ming looked at the crystal in front of him, feeling the pull from deep within his heart, his heart racing.

On one hand, he couldn’t wait to touch it following his instinct.

On the other hand, he feared what kind of negative transformation might occur as a result.

For instance: becoming a zombie?

“[Anomaly inducer detected, quality: impure]”

“[There is a 50% chance of becoming demonic upon absorbing this factor, and a 50% chance of awakening anomalies]”

“[Panel effect initiated, chaotic factors fully expelled, touching the factor will automatically purify it, 100% chance of inducing anomaly: telekinetic power]”

“[Induced anomaly level: basic]”

“[After touching the anomaly inducer, you will gain the telekinetic power anomaly. But the intensity is only equivalent to your mental strength, you can look for ways to train and breakthrough]”

While Li Ming was indecisive, a series of information suddenly appeared as he stared intently at it.

These pieces of information appeared simultaneously and directly entered his mind, causing Li Ming’s eyes to brighten continuously.

Anomaly inducer, this crystal was definitely not simple!

A 50% chance of becoming demonic, does that mean turning into a zombie?

Moreover, the panel had this effect: it could purify this crystal, absorb superpowers!

“So, does this mean that if I absorb this anomaly inducer now, I will 100% awaken telekinesis?”

A series of thoughts flashed in Li Ming’s mind, and he couldn’t help but feel a wave of excitement surge in him.

In his mind, he remembered the strange behavior of the zombie, floating in the air, the strange invisible force…

If he also had such ability, even if it was weak at first, wouldn’t it become stronger with continuous training?

Zombies have no thought process, and their use of psychic powers is rather crude. If he were to use it, how many ways could he develop to use it?

Besides, psychic power is linked to mental strength, so if it can control objects, could it also explore and gather information like the divine knowledge in fairytale novels?

Li Ming recalled the moment when the zombie suddenly noticed him. Feeling that it was highly possible, he eagerly clenched his fist and reached forward to grip the transparent diamond-shaped crystal.

In an instant, an inexplicable fluctuation flashed from within the diamond-shaped crystal. Li Ming felt a sudden pain in his forehead, as if someone had pricked him with a needle.

He involuntarily gritted his teeth, but the pain disappeared the next moment. Accordingly, it felt as if a new nerve had appeared in his brain, making him acutely aware that he could use his mind as a force…

Li Ming instinctively tried to concentrate his mind on his sword.

“Ka-ka-ka…”

The sword trembled slightly in its sheath. Using all his might, Li Ming finally managed to make it wobble out of the sheath, only for it to fall to the ground with a ‘plop’.

“Huff, huff~”

Li Ming took two long breaths, feeling mentally exhausted, as if he needed to rest. Seeing the sword that had fallen to the ground, he sighed helplessly.

“It seems I’ve only just awakened my ability. There’s still a long way to go before I can truly make use of it.”

Li Ming picked up the sword and sheathed it again. He felt that his psychic strength was able to muster a force of at most 1.7 kg, but he was not disheartened.

He could feel the nerve in his brain getting stronger just like a muscle; the more he used it, the stronger it would get. With continuous training, he was sure he would one day do what the zombie did.

Moreover, exhausted psychic power in no way affected his normal actions. Even if he currently used it to aid in fights, it was an extremely good ability, no need to wait for the future.

Additionally, he has only tested the ability of psychic power to control objects. He hadn’t tried to gather information with it, he believed that the potential of psychic power went far beyond this.

“Heh heh heh…”

All of a sudden, a few zombie howls came from behind. Turning around, Li Ming saw the zombies, attracted by his car, finally arriving.

There were about a dozen, scattered around. Li Ming remained calm and speared forward, killing a few in front of him. After advancing and killing two more, he quickly backed off to maintain distance, then charged forward to kill those in front.

Following the same tactics, the dozen or so zombies one by one fell under his spear.

“Huff~”

Relieved, Li Ming looked around and confirmed there were no additional zombies, then turned towards the gas station ahead.

Perhaps because of the mutant zombie, there were no zombies left in the gas station. Li Ming only discovered a few traces of dark red blood.

Feeling somber, Li Ming guessed where those dark red blood stains came from.

“So soon after the apocalypse, there are already zombies with psychic powers. What about other special zombies elsewhere…”

Feeling disheartened, Li Ming sighed, dismissed these thoughts, and with a slightly nervous speed, walked into the gas station.

A quick look around the courtyard revealed six tanks. After making a quick round, he found a small delivery truck nearby. The door was open and the keys were still hanging in the ignition.

His off-road vehicle was totaled, but this truck was perfect.

After loading the leftover bottles of liquor onto the truck, Li Ming filled it with the stock he’d unloaded earlier. Afterwards, he locked the doors and used the diesel and gasoline dispensers to fill the tanks.

Half an hour later, two tanks of gasoline were filled. Li Ming stopped filling them, filled the truck’s fuel tank, and then continued filling tanks with diesel.

After a while, the fourth tank was full, Li Ming immediately stopped filling and tightly screwed the tank lids. Then he got in and drove back to the community.

Perhaps due to the journey he had just made, the return trip was much quieter. The safe environment eased some of Li Ming’s tension, but he didn’t linger, swiftly driving back home.

“Screech…”

The car stopped in front of the small supermarket. Li Ming unloaded one of the tanks for the generator, to ensure enough fuel for the three large freezers full of food.
