Chapter 44: Mining Area: Out of Control Vines

The light in the mine was completely blocked by the fallen rocks.

Fu Jingmo looked at the rocks with cold eyes. A black blade condensed and came out, the broken rocks splashed and fell on the ground. He turned on the flashlight to look, there were a lot of rocks.

Layer upon layer, the sound of the explosion had already come out. Lin Mu must have heard it. Maybe they had already confronted Kang Tianming. Fu Jingmo didn’t delay any longer, and there were several more black blades.

The energy in his body was rapidly draining. He tried to control the black blade within a very small range, only attacking one point, but fortunately, there was already yellow light appearing in the cracks.

Fu Jingmo rushed forward in a few steps, spun around and kicked up, a slightly numb feeling came from his leg, and the last layer of rocks collapsed with a bang.

He kicked his leg and ran out from between the rocks.

Outside was in chaos, the sound of the explosion just now was not only in his mine tunnel, but also outside.

At this time, he saw that the ladder that was originally used as an exit had already collapsed by half. All the miners were squeezed under the ladder, pushing and shoving, not knowing how to go up.

Fu Jingmo’s expression changed, he looked up, half of the ladder had collapsed, and there were still two miners standing on it. If it weren’t for the people below holding up the shaky ladder, it would have fallen down.

Fu Jingmo was about to step forward to help, when two ropes were thrown down from above, and a man’s voice came, “Tie the ladder, I’ll pull you up.”

The miners looked up, they couldn’t see the person above against the light, but the voice sounded very gentle.

They shivered and pulled the rope over, securing the ladder. Although it was still shaky, at least it wouldn’t fall down.

They didn’t know who was above, but the strength was so great.

Fu Jingmo stared intently at the mine, and in a daze, he saw several white figures sticking to both sides of the mine. Those figures were just shapes, very flat…

Just like… a piece of paper…

Watching the miners slowly being pulled up, Fu Jingmo didn’t care anymore, he directly rushed towards Lin Mu’s direction.

——

“Hehe——”

The zombie in the iron door poked out its head. Lin Mu and He Ze stood on the left and right. They had to guard this place. Even if they ran back, they would only lead the zombies to the miners.

There were still women and children there, and besides, he looked up at Kang Tianming behind the iron door. How could Kang Tianming possibly let them go? It was feared that there were explosives in the mine tunnel behind him.

“Mumu, be careful.”

“Mm.”

He Ze’s dagger was too short, so he found a piece of scrap iron from the ground. The first zombie finally came out of the door. Lin Mu flicked his hand, and the vine whip immediately flew out, piercing straight into the zombie’s face.

With a “puchi” sound, the rotten head was pierced with a hole, and the broken flesh splashed out.

The second one, the third one… An endless stream of zombies came out from the door, and the stench filled the entire mine tunnel.

Several zombies rushed towards Kang Tianming’s direction, frantically beating the iron fence, and some of them were already lying on the ground, gnawing at Wu Jin’s corpse.

Wu Jin’s corpse was fresh, and the bloody smell spread everywhere. The vine in Lin Mu’s hand suddenly rushed uncontrollably towards Wu Jin, piercing a blood hole in his wrist.

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, what was it doing? This was not controlled by Lin Mu, but its own consciousness.

Two or three zombies took advantage of this gap and roared to the front.

An iron rod came smashing with a strong wind, cutting off half of their heads. Fortunately, the special ability had enhanced his physical strength. Even with an iron rod, the force of the smash was not something ordinary people could compare with.

Lin Mu angrily pulled, and the vine felt his strength, reluctantly left Wu Jin’s wrist, and anger enveloped Lin Mu’s whole body. Since it had become his subordinate, it couldn’t disobey his words like this.

He gathered all his strength, fiercely swung the vine, and pierced the rock wall. Suddenly, the rock wall splashed with broken stones, leaving a deep trace.

This was Lin Mu’s punishment. He didn’t want things that disobeyed him. In such a situation, even a little bit of uncontrollability could cost him his life.

Kang Tianming outside the iron fence looked at Lin Mu’s side with cold eyes. Lin Mu’s special ability was so powerful!

The zombies couldn’t get close to Lin Mu for a while. He reached out his hand, and a ball of green smoke condensed in his hand.

Oh, it seems that he can’t be kept. He originally thought that maybe he could spare Lin Mu’s life and taste his flavor.

There were little fluorescent lights in the green smoke, and at first glance, it was steeped in deadly poison.

The front was blocked by a large group of zombies. Lin Mu was busy controlling the vine and didn’t see Kang Tianming’s action. It was He Ze, who was half a head taller, who saw it.

He stood tall and big in front of Lin Mu, knocked open a zombie that was close with a stick. The iron stick had already numbed his tiger’s mouth early, and he kicked open another one, shouting loudly, “Mumu, it’s poisonous.”

Lin Mu looked up and saw the green smoke in Kang Tianming’s hand at a glance, and cursed in his heart.

Kang Tianming stared at Lin Mu, his lips slightly opened, and made a “goodbye” lip shape.

With a flick of his wrist, the poisonous smoke scattered and spread towards this side.

Fu Jingmo once said that Kang Tianming’s poison could paralyze people. He and He Ze had never received any training to resist poison. If they were touched by it, even if they were paralyzed for half a minute, they would be torn to pieces by the zombies in front of them.

Behind them were explosives, and in front of them were zombies that they didn’t know when they would be able to deal with. For a moment, Lin Mu felt dazed, thinking that they might die here.

But even so, he would exhaust his last bit of strength.

The zombies crowded forward, and there were at least twenty or thirty lying on the ground. But there were still zombies squeezing out from the iron door.

Lin Mu frowned, he even suspected that this iron door led to the zombie pit at the entrance of the mining area.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the iron door was narrow, so not too many could come out at once.

“Hehe——”

The poison had no effect on the zombies. They stretched out their arms, opened their mouths wide, and rushed towards Lin Mu and He Ze with ugly faces.

The vine whip no longer dealt with them one by one, but swung left and right, hitting the zombies’ heads on both sides with a bang, and a large chunk of flesh was wrapped up with each swing.

Lin Mu could feel the excitement of the vine whip. He snorted coldly, “Wait until I die here, then you can be excited on your own!”

The poison was right in front of him, Lin Mu held his breath, his hand gradually lost its strength, and their physical strength also had its limits. The speed at which he raised the vine whip was getting slower and slower.

The rotten smell was already at his nose.

He Ze killed another one with two sticks and pulled him, “Mumu, let’s go.”

Even if they were killed by the explosives, it would be better than being torn apart by the zombies in front of them.

Lin Mu stumbled, the taste of blood came from his clenched teeth, he was too tired, and he was still worried about Fu Jingmo in his heart, not knowing how he was doing,

That was explosives, Lin Mu didn’t dare to think.

When the hand of the first zombie brushed against Lin Mu’s clothes, a roar came from behind, “Get out of the way.”

Lin Mu’s body shook, and he quickly retreated to the side. With a “whoosh” sound, the black blade flew out. In an instant, blood mist splashed in front, and the heads of a dozen zombies were moved.

Fu Jingmo stood in front of Lin Mu with cold eyes, reached out his hand to hold his forearm, and asked, “Are you okay?”

Lin Mu shook his head, his heart suddenly relaxed. The zombies fell one after another, one batch died and another came up, and the green smoke was about to reach them.

Fu Jingmo condensed black fog, which spread towards Kang Tianming’s direction. The black fog wrapped the green smoke, and it was gradually devouring the green smoke bit by bit.

Kang Tianming on the other side watched Fu Jingmo appear, the smile on his face had long shattered, revealing a ferocious look.

His forehead was all sweaty. As a first-level mutant, just controlling these poisonous smokes had consumed a lot of his ability.

Although compared to He Ze’s special ability, he was already much stronger.

He gritted his teeth and took out a small, black object from his pocket.

That was – the remote control for the explosives.

“Go to hell, all of you go to hell!!”

Kang Tianming was no longer the gentlemanly elite he used to be, and he was roaring with a fierce look on his face.
