Afterlife Department

Chapter 466 - Help

Five days later, north.

"Haa… thank goodness. We're almost there!" Jenny said as she slumped on her seat and closed her eyes to rest.

"Same. I am already tired of seeing zombies every time." Lan agreed as she comforted Chichi whose face is green in disgust.

They just encountered a large wave of zombies. Fortunately, they have four level three ability users, and three of them are dual ability users at that, and the five level two ability users who are about to become level three.

"How many are the winter clothes did we get?" Xi Kai asked.

"More than a thousand." Huo Ling answered. Yi Bing took the displayed winter clothes as well as the ones in the storage room while he took the ones in the warehouse.

"It should be enough for the non-ability users in the base, I think?" Jenny asked.

"If not, we already contacted Qi Ming and Hu Feng and had the people in the base study knitting. They should be able to make clothes for themselves." Xi Kai spoke.

They resumed eating when suddenly, they heard the sound of an approaching car. They looked at each other and turned, looking vigilant. They hid behind the bushes and trees and observed the road, only to see that a car was being followed by three cars.

"Hahahaha! Run! Run!" the person from the front seat of one of the three cars following cackled as he maliciously looked at the car that they are following.

Xi Kai, Yi Bing and Huo Ling looked at each other. They have already hidden their two cars so no one would be able to see their cars. They don't have anything valuable in their cars even if they were found, since all their things were hidden in Yi Bing's and Huo Ling's spaces.

"It looks like this is 'chase to steal'." Rei spoke.

"Nah. This is 'chase to also kill'." Lan said.

"Poor them." Lu Lu sighed in distress.

Xi Ke nodded in agreement. Fortunately, they have two space ability users so no one robbed them. It can also be contributed to the fighting skills of Xi Kai's team, as well as Yi Bing and Huo Ling.

"Should we help them?" Jenny asked as she turned to Xi Kai.

"Chichi." Xi Kai spoke. He wants her to determine the

"Yes." Chichi answered and closed her eyes.

The cars have finally stopped since the car that was being followed also stopped. They must have run out of gasoline, or they have given up.

Chichi opened her eyes. "One male, two females and two children – one boy and one girl." She spoke. "The man is injured and his wife is the one driving and looked ill." She told them. "The three cars are all men, and definitely bear ill intentions." She said. "There are fifteen of them, and five are ability users." She added.

"'ill'…" their expressions suddenly changed. They didn't notice that Yi Bing and Huo Ling looked at each other.

"We'll help them." Yi Bing spoke.

Everyone looked at him.

"Although this is the apocalypse, we can't just watch them to die." Yi Bing looked at them. "Although we didn't do anything and just watch, just watching but not doing anything is indirectly killing them." He told them.

Silence fell.

Huo Ling didn't wait for them to speak and came out of hiding before running towards the crowd on the road. What they didn't expect is for another figure to come out.

"Qi Ying!" Xi Kai exclaimed. He helplessly sighed. "I didn't say we won't help them…" he said and turned to Yi Bing and nodded. Then, he turned to his team. "Jenny. Chichi. You two stay here and watch over my parents. Mom, dad, you better stay in the car for your safety." He told them. "Rei. Lan. Let's go!" he said.

"Yes!" they immediately followed and reached Qi Ying while they saw Huo Ling immediately attacked the large group of thugs.

"Help has arrived!" the wife exclaimed and collapsed on the ground while her daughter and the children cried beside her. Meanwhile, the father has already fainted.

"I'll go treat the man's wounds." Yi Bing spoke.

Xi Kai nodded. "Rei. Go bring the mother and the three children to safety." He told Rei. "Lan. You go with me and help Qi Ying and Huo Ling." He said.

"Yes!" the two women answered.

"Tch! Busybodies!" the leader of the thugs clicked his tongue as he placed his hands on the ground.

"Earth ability user!" Lan's eyes widened before she jumped on the car.

"I'll take care of him!" Huo Ling said as he burned the soil.

"Boss, watch out!" Lan suddenly shouted when she felt the wind changed. She immediately erected an ice wall before them and the other group.

"Qi Ying!" Xi Kai called and pulled Qi Ying back when he saw a vine suddenly shot out of the ground. He immediately burned the vine.

Suddenly, they heard something clanging. "Lan!" Xi Kai called when he realized it.

Lan immediately jumped away from the car and erected another ice wall. The spike that appeared on the car of the escaping family stabbed the ice wall.

"Earth, wind, plant, metal… one more." Xi Kai muttered.

As soon as his voice fell, they saw that the ice wall cracked before it collapsed.

"Strength ability user?" Qi Ying exclaimed in shock.

"Heh." They heard someone sneered.

Xi Kai, Qi Ying and Lan turned to see Huo Ling grinning. "Leave the earth and the strength ability user to me. You deal with the remaining three ability users, and their extras." They heard him say.

Xi Kai, Qi Ying and Lan. "…" 'extras'? They thought. But, they didn't waste any time as they attacked at the same time the other group attacked. They believe that Huo Ling can do it, since he said it.

"Lan. You deal with the wind ability user. Qi Ying, you deal with those extras. I'll deal with the plant and the metal ability users!" Xi Kai spoke.

"Yes!" Lan and Qi Ying answered as they immediately acted.

The wind and plant ability user wanted to block Lan and Qi Ying but Lan immediately blocked the wind ability user while Xi Kai burned the vines, making Qi Ying able to run past the two ability users. Xi Kai then electrified the metal ability user who turned his body into a metal.

"AAAARH!!!" the metal ability user screamed. But, he is already dead as soon as he made his whole body a good conductor.

Qi Ying immediately created a large wave of water and hit those extras.

"A dual ability user?!" the plant ability user exclaimed in shock after he saw Xi Kai used lightning when he used fire earlier. He wanted to run since fire is the plant's bane. But, Lan already froze his feet on the spot while trapping the wind ability user inside a thick ice cage. Then, she went and helped Qi Ying deal with those extras.

"Why are you attacking that family?" Xi Kai asked as he interrogated the plant ability user who can't move. The wind ability user has long since died of hypothermia after not able to destroy the ice cage with his wind ability.

"They robbed us first!" the plant ability user answered.

Xi Kai was surprised and turned to where the other were hiding, but immediately burnt the plant ability user who tried to sneak attack him.

"AAARH!" the plant ability user screamed as he looked at Xi Kai in disbelief.

"Oh? You think you can kill me? Think again." Xi Kai grinned. "Although that family is also a bunch of thieves, but they won't be able to kill us easily." He said and laughed as he knocked down the plant ability user.

He turned to look at how Huo Ling is fairing, only to be shocked when he saw the other is jumping around and sometimes looked like flying mid-air, which you can only see in kungfu movies. But, this is real.

"Amazing…" Lan exclaimed and Qi Ying nodded in agreement as they watched Huo Ling slipped in between the strength ability user's arms before rolling when the earth ability user tried to trap his feet, only to hit the strength ability user's legs.

"AAARH!" the strength ability user lost his footing and fell on his back, while Huo Ling rolled on his side and elbowed his neck, which is his weak spot. He died.

"Damn… badass!" Lan exclaimed and Qi Ying nodded beside her while they watched Huo Ling ran towards the earth ability user who tried to catch Huo Ling's legs, only for Huo Ling to skip like a soccer player the way he evaded.

"How long are you going to play? Have you trained enough?" they heard Yi Bing asked.

"Huh?" 'play'? 'train'?" Xi Kai, Lan and Qi Ying thought as they looked at Yi Bing in puzzlement.

Huo Ling immediately leapt high in the air, and then grinned at the earth ability user. The earth ability user erected a wall before him, only for Huo Ling to land on one feet, rolled down, hang on the wall and wrapped his legs around the earth ability user's neck before he twisted it.
