Chapter 57 Corpse Flash [Third Update—Recommended Vote]

“Boss, why did you let them have the fifth-tier zombie?”
Zeng Hongsen asked in confusion.
“It’s simple. Since they’re so arrogant, let them fight the fifth-tier zombie. Once they’re worn out, we’ll strike and wipe them all out. Isn't that the perfect way to profit from their struggle?”
Lu Fei whispered into Zeng Hongsen’s ear.
“Wow!”
Zeng Hongsen was astonished, never expecting the boss to be so clever—not only could he eliminate the zombie, but also get rid of that group of people. It was truly killing two birds with one stone.
His gaze toward Lu Fei brimmed with admiration; he was simply formidable.
The fifth-tier zombie’s severed arm writhed, dripping with fluid, and soon a new hand grew out, lunging at the fat man with the speed of lightning.
A red glow flared in the zombie’s mouth.
“Watch out, Meng Ziyi, move! That’s corpse flash!” Tang Ning shouted in shock, not expecting the fifth-tier zombie to possess corpse flash.
With a deafening roar, the zombie unleashed a massive red beam from its mouth, blasting toward Meng Ziyi.
Meng Ziyi had no time to react and was swallowed by the corpse flash.
The powerful blast not only obliterated Meng Ziyi but also punched a huge hole in the wall, shaking the ground.
Zeng Hongsen gasped in horror, never imagining that the fifth-tier zombie could unleash such terrifying power, killing the fat man in an instant.
Lu Fei was equally surprised, thinking to himself, “System, shouldn’t you explain what ‘corpse flash’ is?”
“Ding. Corpse flash is an attack possessed by high-tier zombies, usually those beyond eighth or ninth tier. However, some zombies with exceptional talents can wield it at the fifth tier.”
“So even zombies have different talents?”
Lu Fei communicated with the system mentally.
“Ding. Zombies not only have talents, but their hierarchy is strict. You’ll understand more in the future.”
“Wow, there’s more to it than I thought.”
Lu Fei was speechless. He turned to see a man with a ring-shaped blade shouting and swinging the weapon ferociously at the zombie.

Qian Li fired her laser cannon at the fifth-tier zombie.
Both attacks struck simultaneously, submerging the zombie in a barrage of force.
With a thunderous crash, the zombie was hurled into the wall, bringing the entire structure down and sending earth and dust flying.
“Damn it, how dare you kill my brother! I'll make you pay!” Zhao Hanxin roared furiously, staring at the rubble where the zombie lay buried.
His ring-shaped blade returned to his side.
“This fifth-tier zombie is too powerful,” Qian Li said angrily as she stood in front of Tang Ning. “Meng Ziyi is gone just like that.”
“Such sentimentality is pointless in the apocalypse. Once someone’s gone, they're gone. As long as we destroy the zombie and avenge Meng Ziyi, that’s enough.”
Tang Ning’s eyes were cold as he stared at the swirling dust.
Suddenly, a red beam shot out from the pile of stones, heading straight for Zhao Hanxin.
Zhao Hanxin’s eyes widened as he raised his blade, but he couldn’t withstand the corpse flash and was sent flying, crashing through several walls before landing on the ground, barely alive.
The zombie’s strength was evident; one blast was enough to kill a man.
Tang Ning seethed with rage, never expecting the fifth-tier zombie to be so much stronger than anticipated. The ones they’d killed before were far weaker—was this where they would die?
Tang Ning immediately turned to the thirty-odd people nearby, his face icy. “All of you, attack now. Otherwise, you’ll all die.”
“Exactly, get in there and hold off that monster,” Qian Li agreed, supporting Tang Ning’s decision.
“Why don’t you go yourself? Didn’t you want to claim the zombie? Here, take it!” Zeng Hongsen sneered.
“Heh… You lack the strength but still want to seize our prey. You can’t even handle it—what a disgrace. If I were you, I’d dig a hole and crawl inside.”
Lu Fei spoke coldly, his gaze fierce and domineering.
“You brat, a mere second-tier, dare to talk to me like this? I could crush you with one hand.”
Tang Ning was furious—not only had he failed to kill the fifth-tier zombie, but he was being ridiculed by a second-tier youth, which was intolerable. “You talk big. If you take down that fifth-tier zombie, maybe I’ll dig a hole and crawl in, as you said.”

Tang Ning sneered, intent on goading the boy into charging to his death.
“Watch closely,” the youth replied. In a flash, he vanished from sight, reappearing before the fifth-tier zombie, and unleashed a punch.
With a roar like a dragon, Lu Fei’s fist sent the zombie flying, smashing through several walls before pulverizing its body into flesh, flames swirling around it.
The power of Lu Fei’s punch was unmistakable.
Qian Li drew a sharp breath—how could such a young man destroy a zombie so powerful with a single effortless blow, then calmly dust off his hands and walk away?
“How… how is this possible?”
Tang Song’s eyes were wide, tongue-tied and dumbfounded, his mind reeling in disbelief.
He couldn’t believe what he was seeing—a second-tier youth had obliterated a fifth-tier zombie capable of corpse flash with a single punch?
He must be dreaming; how could there be such a powerful second-tier in this world? He was certain this was a daydream.
His pride was utterly shattered by Lu Fei’s blow.
His confidence was also crushed.
Terrified, he staggered backward, muttering “Impossible, impossible,” thoroughly shaken. Anyone would have been stunned by the youth.
After all, in their eyes, a second-tier was nothing more than a minor figure, easily snuffed out. Yet this youth had effortlessly destroyed a fifth-tier zombie—a creature that would have given them endless trouble.
It was dispatched so easily.
“What… what are you planning?” Tang Song saw the youth walk toward him with a calm smile. “We… we’re from the F Organization. You’d best stay away from us. Our leader is an eighth-tier powerhouse.”
“Eighth-tier? Is that impressive? If I kill you all, will your leader even know? This is the high-risk zone of Jiuzhou City, zombies are everywhere. If I kill you, it’ll be as if killing a stray dog, and your leader will assume you were devoured by zombies. Do you agree?”
Lu Fei, surrounded by dragon aura like an emperor descended, approached Tang Ning. With a mere gesture, Tang Song was reduced to ashes, and Qian Li’s eyes nearly burst with terror—how could she possibly survive this?
