Riding on His Coattails and Surviving the Apocalypse - Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Fatherly Love
On Ji Lingtian’s side, Looking at the zombies that appeared in front of them, Ji Lingtian wanted to cry. How could he be a beginner Tier 6? He was a whole grade higher than him. Their base had never even encountered a Tier 5 high-tier zombie before, but now he had directly jumped to Tier 6. What kind of luck was this? Could it be that they were walking too smoothly ahead? The heavens couldn’t see through this relationship? Challenging someone beyond Tier 5 should be left to his brother.

Looking at the zombie crawling towards him with its long tongue, Ji Ling Tian put away his smiling face, his expression extremely serious. This person must have received a lot of abuse before turning into a zombie. Although he had recovered a bit after turning into a zombie, he could still see the wounds on his body. Ji Ling Tian thought of something and wanted to turn his head to look at Xia Xuan, but he did not move in the end.

The Sixth Grade zombie looked at the food in front of him, and his wooden face seemed to be drooling. It had been a long time since he had eaten. The food here was all eaten up, and he couldn’t go out. Looking at the delicious food, the long fingernails of the Sixth Grade zombies cut through the ground and sparked a burst of sparks. Everyone’s faces turned even paler. Only Xia Xuan stared blankly and softly called out, “Dad.”

Ji Lingtian’s eyes flashed with pity when he heard Xia Xuan’s voice. However, the person in front of him was not his future father-in-law, but an enemy who could take their lives. Ji Lingtian was somewhat convinced that both father-in-law and son-in-law were natural enemies. Now, he deeply understood that the difficulty of conquering them was not so high. He was a little nervous.

Speaking of which, how could it be so difficult for him to get a wife? His brother didn’t have such a problem. Lou Xiaoluo was an orphan, and he had to face a zombie father-in-law who couldn’t communicate with her. It was too unfair. Ji Lingtian felt a little indignant in his heart.

Xia Xuan looked at her pale face without any pale eyes. Her two eyes were like black holes, and her mouth was bloodshot. She unconsciously wanted to step forward and be stopped by Ji Lingtian. Now was not the time to stage a warm scene of father-daughter reunion. The zombies on the other side did not have any fatherly love for Xia Xuan before.

The tears in Xia Xuan’s eyes couldn’t stop anymore. Looking at her father who could only crawl and could not even walk upright, Xia Xuan couldn’t help but cry. Her father looked like he had suffered a lot. Even if it wasn’t for the apocalypse, he wouldn’t be able to survive. It was her fault for coming late, and it was because she couldn’t save her father. The others looked at the crying Xia Xuan and the drooling zombie in front of them. They understood the identity of the other party, but their hearts became heavier and heavier.

“Attention, everyone. The opponent’s speed is very fast. He should have awakened his speed ability. Whether he has any other abilities is unknown. Pay attention and cooperate.” Ji Lingtian was the first to attack, The others cooperated with him, Unfortunately, there were too many things that were very suitable for zombies to hide, Their attacks were rarely effective, but instead aroused the viciousness of the zombies. Everyone was protected by a golden shield formed by a golden type ability. Inside, there was a protective shield formed by an earth type ability. Even so, it collapsed under the claws of a Tier 6 zombie. Everyone looked at the short, sharp fingernail. Everyone knew that Father Xia was not only fast, he also had a fingernail that could pierce through everything.

Xia Xuan looked at her father and endured the pain. She wrapped a water ball around her father’s hand to reduce the lethality of his hand. Father Xia threw the water ball away forcefully. Although the water ball was thrown out, it also slowed down Father Xia’s speed and allowed more attacks to play a role.

The other water-attribute abilities also imitated Xia Xuan’s attacks. The water ball tripped Father Xia’s foot, Everyone else focused on defending and attacking, but Father Xia was not fooled after being tricked a few times. He used his advantage in speed to prevent the water type ability from catching him. Ji Lingtian also gathered his strength to complete a fire blade to directly cut Father Xia’s neck. Unfortunately, he was still a step away from being blocked by Father Xia’s arm and only cut off his left arm.

Although the zombies didn’t feel any pain, the rank six zombies were already very smart. They knew that they had suffered great damage and sent all their anger towards Ji Lingtian. Father Xia dodged in front of Ji Lingtian and waved his right claw to approach his face. Ji Lingtian dodged his body and used fire to form a whip attack to widen the distance between them. Ji Lingtian attracted Father Xia’s firepower, which made it easier for other abilities to attack from the side.

Balls of fire spread out, burning the air to become scorching hot. Dry and hoarse roars could be heard from Father Xia’s mouth. Xia Xuan held the remaining grenades in her hand and closed her eyes to make up her mind. Thinking back to his father’s warm smile, Yes, her father was a warm, cheerful, responsible and kind man, He didn’t want to be a man-eating zombie. Xia Xuan wanted her father to rest in peace. She waved the grenade in her hand at everyone. Everyone knew what Xia Xuan meant. The metal and earth elements began to quickly form shields. Ji Lingtian also understood what Xia Xuan meant. Looking at Xia Xuan, who had a bloodless face but a focused expression, Ji Lingtian nodded.

When Xia Xuan threw the grenade at Father Xia, everyone quickly moved behind the shield. The shrapnel after the grenade exploded also fiercely cut Father Xia’s body. The pitch-black blood in his body immediately shot out, and miserable screams continuously echoed in this sealed space.

Because of the seal, the grenades were even more powerful. Fortunately, the surroundings were made of refined steel. Otherwise, it would collapse easily. Looking at Father Xia, who had lost one leg but was still alive, the crowd intensified their attacks. This made Father Xia even more violent. Even though Ji Lingtian and the others were already very careful, four people died in succession.

Ji Lingtian’s expression was very bad. Apart from him being a Tier 5 Adept, there were also Tier 3 and Tier 4 Adepts here, No matter how good the coordination was, no one would be able to last long after this series of battles. Ji Lingtian felt that luckily, Father Xia was the only one here. If he hadn’t killed and upgraded all the zombies, if he had left a few more as his younger brothers, their casualties would have been even worse.

Actually, it wasn’t that Father Xia hadn’t thought of leaving a few of his younger brothers behind, but subconsciously, he seemed to hate these people who were also zombies. Before he turned into a zombie, Father Xia had suffered a lot. He had been injected with a lot of drugs that affected his nerves. Otherwise, with the intelligence of a rank six zombie, he would be smarter.

Ji Lingtian also had doubts, but looking at Xia Xuan, Ji Lingtian chose to keep it a secret. If she knew what injuries her father had suffered before he died, this seemingly strong girl would probably collapse. As Father Xia grew faster and faster, Ji Lingtian knew that the other party wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer, Unfortunately, they soon lost two more people on their side. Father Xia moved quickly. Everyone’s eyes could no longer keep up with each other’s speed. Xia Xuan suddenly saw a sharp claw coming towards her neck. Ji Lingtian’s expression changed and she took out the weapon given by Bai Yuli. Unfortunately, it was too late. Xia Xuan shouted “Dad”.

Hearing Xia Xuan’s voice, Father Xia immediately stopped. His blank eyes stared at the prey in front of him. Ji Lingtian hurriedly opened fire. This spear was very powerful, but it could only launch three attacks. However, it only damaged half of Father Xia’s body. Xia Xuan was still within the attack range of the other party.

Ji Lingtian’s eyes narrowed. A wooden ability condensed a vine to wrap around Xia Xuan’s waist to pull her away. Unfortunately, Father Xia stopped the rescue. However, he did not attack Xia Xuan. He only watched as tears flowed down Xia Xuan’s eyes. Ji Lingtian took the opportunity to attack Father Xia behind Xia Xuan. Father Xia was very angry with Ji Lingtian and opened his mouth to bite her neck.

“No!” Hearing Xia Xuan’s voice, Father Xia stopped again. Xia Xuan looked at Father Xia. A smile appeared on Xia Xuan’s face. Even though the smile carried tears, Xia Xuan was still happy. Her father remembered her. Even if she became a zombie, he still remembered his favorite daughter. Ji Lingtian put the crystal core gun in Xia Xuan’s hand. He knew that Xia Xuan wanted to personally end her father’s zombie career. Xia Xuan’s hand trembled and slowly raised the gun to point at Father Xia.

Father Xia still didn’t move. Everyone felt a little uncomfortable when they saw the scene in front of them. This was father’s love. Even if they turned into zombies and lost the emotional rationality of humans, their bodies still maintained their love. “Sorry, I’m late. I missed you very much. Really, Dad, forgive me. I will avenge you.”

Xia Xuan pulled the trigger. Faced with Xia Xuan’s attack, Father Xia did not dodge. Looking at Father Xia who was burned by the energy gun, Xia Xuan finally could not bear to turn around and throw herself into Ji Lingtian’s arms and cry. Ji Lingtian touched Xia Xuan’s hair and comforted him softly. As a Tier 6 zombie, Father Xia only left a golden core under everyone’s efforts.

A small theater

Father Xia: Our Little Jade is the most beautiful girl in the world. Dad will find you the bravest prince to love you.

Xia Xuan: I don’t want a prince. My father is my patron saint. It’s good that I have a father.

Father Xia: Silly child.

Ji Ling Tian: I, I am that prince.

Father Xia: You? How tall are you, how much do you weigh, what degree do you have, where do you come from, what does your father do, and how much do you earn each year.

Ji Lingtian: That’s not a problem. I can satisfy all the requirements for a male god. My parents have passed away and I have a cousin. It’s too difficult to calculate income. You can spend whatever you want anyway. Buy whatever you like.

Father Xia: Daughter, this man can’t do it. He’s too pompous. What else do you like to buy? I like the Twin Towers in our city. Can he buy them?

Xia Xuan: This.

Ji Lingtian: Father-in-law, this is the property right of the Twin Towers. Anywhere else you like, the whole country can be used overseas. I have a few islands under my name, and they are all transferred to your name.

Father Xia: Daughter, this man can’t be married. He’s a liar with false certificates.

Xia Xuan: Well, he’s a soldier.

Father Xia: Good morning, soldier. Even a soldier is a hero who protects his country.

Xia Xuan: It’s a major general.

Father Xia: Come, let’s go home. Your uncle Wang is a doctor for a nephew. He has the same interest as you. It should be good.

Ji Lingtian: Father-in-law, don’t go. What’s wrong with me?

Father Xia: It’s true everywhere, but as long as you want to marry my daughter, you’re wrong everywhere. Hmph.

Ji Lingtian: Father-in-law, let’s talk again.
