I Transmigrated as the Protagonist and Was Kidnapped by the Villainous Omega - Chapter 39

The moment she saw Ya Zhi make his move, Ling Yuexi’s pupils contracted. She immediately put away her rifle and ran.

Given that astonishing energy fluctuation, if the iron hammer hit the top floor, it was likely the entire building could collapse.

I’m not thinking straight, she thought. Before, I always shot from a relatively safe distance of several hundred meters, but now, I’ve exposed my position so easily.

If this continued, she’d be dead before she could even rescue Cheng Su.

She ran from her previous position as fast as she could. She wasn’t sure if she could escape, but gritting her teeth, she dashed towards the adjacent building.

The giant iron hammer was instantly cleaved in half by the blue light, but the two separated parts still retained some residual force. One half flew diagonally, striking the building with a thud.

Before such immense power, reinforced concrete was as fragile as plastic, instantly obliterated.

The top floor continuously collapsed, cracks spreading rapidly like snakes.

At the same time, Ling Yuexi steeled herself. Just as her feet were about to step into empty air, she leaped, clinging to her long rifle.

The building behind her was like a bombed structure, tottering, with dust rising everywhere.

“Are you insane?!” Seeing his iron hammer cut in half, Ya Zhi’s eyes blazed with fury. “That’s someone from Hong Xiu Zhao, and you actually helped her?!”

The Nirvana glowed with a faint blue light. Su Cheng’s face was cold. With a push of her foot, she charged towards Ya Zhi with the blade in her hand.

“If you dare to hurt her, I’ll cripple you first!”

Blue light surged. This strike was like a startled dragon emerging from the sea, the blade directly threatening Ya Zhi’s face.

Wielding his sole remaining iron hammer, he desperately blocked Chao Feng’s attack. With a loud clang, sparks flew everywhere. Ya Zhi was flung backward by the powerful impact, his hand splitting open and fresh bl00d flowing down the hammer.

His body flew back, smashing through several walls in succession. Before he could even stop, Su Cheng had already bypassed him, intercepted him, and delivered a spinning kick to his face.

Ya Zhi coughed up a mouthful of bl00d and was instantly sent flying upwards into the sky.

He had just managed to adjust his posture when Su Cheng, like a ghost, spun around him again, radiating intense battle intent as she swung her blade to strike.

The original Chao Feng is back!

A flicker of surprise flashed in Ya Zhi’s eyes. He didn’t dare to be careless and hastily wielded his iron hammer to resist.

The two began fighting in mid-air, exchanging dozens of blows in mere breaths. Their blade work was as fast as lightning; their movements were almost indistinguishable. Blade and hammer clashed and separated rapidly, only the constant sparks around them visible.

Ling Yuexi had several scrapes on her body from tumbling to the ground, but she paid them no mind. She quickly got up, clutching her rifle.

Whether facing Chao Feng or Ya Zhi head-on, she had little chance of winning. Sniping them now was the best approach. If she could eliminate both major threats, rescuing Cheng Su would be much easier.

This building wasn’t short, and the view was quite open. Ling Yuexi quickly found a suitable position where she could clearly see the two fighting.

In fact, it was hard not to see them.

The two individuals, at the absolute peak of combat power, fought with earth-shattering force, as if they wanted to overturn District 11.

Ya Zhi’s hammers were like crashing thunder, and Chao Feng’s Tangdao covered the sky and earth. When zombies occasionally stumbled into the fray, they paid them no mind, casually slaying them and continuing their battle, treating them like mere ants.

Calling them a demolition team was an understatement; these two were practically a blasting crew. They riddled District 11 with craters, leaving nothing but broken walls and crumbling ruins in their wake, enveloped in dark, choking smoke.

The fight was in full swing, and just as Ya Zhi was losing ground, Su Cheng seized an opening and was about to land a decisive blow. It was then that a piercing sound suddenly whistled through the air beside her.

That familiar sense of danger made her decisively abandon her attack. She immediately swung her blade to block her temple.

With a sharp “clang,” the blade vibrated violently. The silver bullet was instantly deflected, leaving only a long, lingering echo.

Who the hell is pulling off sneak attacks?!

Turning around, seething with anger, Su Cheng froze for two seconds, then swallowed the curse that had been on her lips.

It’s okay; I can’t blame Ling Yuexi.

After all, I’m Chao Feng right now. Like Ya Zhi, I’m an enemy in her eyes.

Hit by this sneak attack, Su Cheng’s excellent offensive momentum was suddenly disrupted. Ya Zhi roared, seizing the opportunity to counter with a hammer swing, attacking her with the force of a lightning strike.

Hastily bringing her blade back to parry, Su Cheng was caught off guard by this blow, pushed back dozens of steps. Capitalizing on this advantage, Ya Zhi closed in, giving her no chance to breathe. Calculating the angle precisely, he swung his hammer down towards her head.

Before she could stabilize herself, Su Cheng felt a shadow fall over her. The massive iron hammer, like Mount Tai descending, instantly sealed off her retreat.

Just as it was about to land, there was a “bang,” and a silver bullet instantly struck Ya Zhi’s shoulder.

A tearing pain shot through him. His hand twitched, and his strength immediately faltered.

Su Cheng flinched, then quickly dodged backward.

Ling Yuexi wasn’t attacking indiscriminately. Instead, she was observing the flow of the battle between the two. Whenever one gained an advantage, she would seize the moment to land a shot.

She seemed to be deliberately controlling the situation, not letting the battle end prematurely, but keeping the two entangled in a continuous struggle, pulling and wearing each other down.

So that she could ultimately reap the benefits.

A smile tugged at Su Cheng’s lips. This woman is truly devious, she thought.

But… I like it~

Bl00d spurted out, splattering across Ya Zhi’s face. He let out an angry roar, his eyes bloodshot. “I’ll deal with you first!” Without another word, he charged towards Ling Yuexi like a mad beast, ignoring everything else.

“Hey!” Seeing him abandon her, Su Cheng quickly brought her blade to bear and chased closely behind. “Your opponent is me!”

The wound seemed to enrage Ya Zhi.

The ground fractured. Each foot he planted on the ground created deep craters. He was like a mad bull, incredibly fast.

Gathering his strength, he leaped violently, using the wall for leverage. In just a few jumps, he had climbed onto the sixth-floor balcony.

Sensing trouble, Ling Yuexi put away her sniper rifle and immediately retreated. As she ran, she pulled out two Desert Eagles from her outer thighs, rapidly firing several precise shots the moment Ya Zhi peered over.

After a day of high-intensity output, her stamina was largely depleted. Both her strength and accuracy had significantly decreased.

Even with a bullet wound, Ya Zhi’s speed showed no signs of slowing. After climbing over, he pursued relentlessly. His eyes were fixed on Ling Yuexi, looking as if he wouldn’t stop until he tore his enemy apart. Anything he could grab with his hands, be it rocks or iron plates, he indiscriminately hurled forward.

A straight line would quickly lead to being caught, so Ling Yuexi deliberately chose winding routes, dodging the constantly flying objects while occasionally finding a moment to turn and fire a few shots.

Su Cheng followed closely behind. Whenever she caught up and engaged Ya Zhi, he would only dodge and not attack her, unwilling to get entangled, his sole focus on killing Ling Yuexi first.

The three of them thus staged a grand chase, continuously leaping and parkouring between buildings, scaling walls and rooftops.

Someone never dreamed that one day, in a post-apocalyptic world, they would be simultaneously chasing someone in a fight and free-running across high-rise buildings.

*****

Following the route indicated by Tang Jin, the people of Hong Xiu Zhao finally reached the outskirts of District 11.

“…What’s going on here?” The vehicle slowly stopped. Hu Ziyuan looked at the scattered limbs on the ground, her brows tightly furrowed.

“Ya Zhi has arrived.” Tang Jin recognized the familiar fighting style at a glance. But why was he here?

What about Su Cheng and Ling Yuexi?

“Ya Zhi?” Hu Ziyuan grew even more anxious at the name. “What a coincidence!”

As she pondered, a dazzling blue light suddenly shot out from the distant urban area, tearing through the sky and soaring into the clouds.

“…What is that?”

No one present, except Tang Jin, had ever witnessed such a sight before.

“Quick! Drive towards that!” Pointing in the direction of the blue light, Tang Jin felt a surge of urgency. This situation was worse than she had anticipated.

With Su Cheng’s S-grade strength, she wouldn’t need to use a killing blow against ordinary zombies. It seemed they had already encountered Ya Zhi.

The off-road vehicle immediately restarted, and the seven mechs followed, flying towards the urban area.

…

No matter how capable Ling Yuexi was, she was still an Omega.

Her stamina was far inferior to the other two. After running for a while, her speed gradually slowed. Although Su Cheng was pulling at Ya Zhi from behind, he still managed to catch up quickly each time, and the distance between them kept shrinking.

Just as she had jumped to another building, Ya Zhi seized the opportunity to let out a roar. His iron-scented pheromones instantly burst forth. He swung his hammers in wide arcs, throwing them with all his might.

This hammer throw was his final, desperate move. He didn’t believe Chao Feng could sever it again?!

A terrifying force, like a surging tide, swept through. Everything in the hammer’s path was pulverized, reduced to ash. A massive gray shockwave swallowed everything, leaving no place to hide.

Her heart seized. In that moment, Ling Yuexi felt as though she’d been strangled, and despair instantly flooded her mind.

She wasn’t afraid of death; she just felt incredibly unwilling.

Why is the difference in strength between an Omega and an Alpha so vast? No matter how hard I try, I can’t confront Ya Zhi head-on. I can only rely on my firearms for a surprising victory.

She still had so many things left undone. She hadn’t rescued Cheng Su yet, hadn’t had a good look at her again, hadn’t told her directly…

“…Ling Yuexi!”

A heart-wrenching call made her entire body tremble.

It wasn’t a familiar voice, yet it suddenly gave her a feeling as if it belonged to an old acquaintance.

She wasn’t the only one whose eyes turned red; there was another.

Only regret that I realized too late. Before I could even treat her well, how could I…

Su Cheng’s previously blue eyes were now as red as rubies, and all the bl00d in her body boiled in that moment.

Her palm slid along the blade, and hot bl00d immediately stained Nirvana crimson.

The Tangdao trembled violently, its dark patterns shimmering with dazzling golden light.

This single strike, poured with all her conviction and power, reflected a fiery glow through the clouds, sweeping down like an overwhelming force towards the iron hammer. Reborn in Nirvana, the sword energy condensed into a colossal phoenix. Its burning wings immediately collided with the iron hammer, which was wrapped in a shockwave.

Crimson and gray merged. In an instant, the iron hammer turned to ash in a sea of fire.

Collapsing to her knees, Su Cheng tore off her mask and gasped for air. The wound on her left palm bled profusely, and her right arm spasmed again. She instinctively curled up in pain.

The flames gradually dissipated, leaving only billows of thick smoke in the sky.

In a certain crevice of District 11, the ground shook. The zombie, which had been stuck, suddenly loosened. Its feet flailed wildly, pushing off the cliff face for leverage, its hand just reaching the hilt of a blade…

Ling Yuexi was thrown forward by the powerful air current, tumbling several meters on the ground before stopping.

Her clothes were torn in several places. Her once fair skin was now scarred, her silver hair disheveled, and she looked utterly disheveled.

She didn’t know what had just happened, but she had miraculously survived?

Lying on the ground, she rested for a moment. Then, bracing herself with her sniper rifle, she shakily stood up. When she looked behind her, she froze.

The dense smoke slowly cleared, revealing a massive chasm not far behind her, a gaping black hole stretching as far as the eye could see.

All the buildings in this street had been cleanly sliced apart, as if something had cut the world in two…

Judging by the direction, it seemed to have originated from the building diagonally opposite.

Unfortunately, Ling Yuexi’s building was lower. From her angle looking up, she couldn’t see any figures.

Her gaze swept across the other side of the chasm, where Ya Zhi knelt amidst a pile of rubble. He seemed to have lost all strength, his eyes were vacant.

Is it… over?

But where did Chao Feng go?

Ling Yuexi immediately found cover and hid. She gripped her Desert Eagle and waited for a long time, but still, there was no movement.

Has she already left?

Never mind. With Chao Feng’s strength, if that person were still here, she could have killed me by now.

Right now, finding Cheng Su was the most important thing.

Thinking this, Ling Yuexi cautiously emerged, limping to the edge of the chasm. Pointing her gun at Ya Zhi on the opposite side, she activated her voice changer and asked, “Where’s the pink pig you captured?”

She said “pink pig” to make it clearer for Ya Zhi, specifically referring to Cheng Su.

After all, hadn’t he been the one to give her that nickname?

But the person seemed not to hear her. Ling Yuexi asked several more times, yet Ya Zhi remained motionless.

“…Is he stunned?” Seeing Ya Zhi completely dazed and unable to answer anything, Ling Yuexi grew irritated.

What should I do? Where is Cheng Su?

Before she could think of a solution, her peripheral vision caught something. She suddenly noticed a “figure” clinging precariously to a window sill in the building behind Ya Zhi, slowly crawling.

It seemed to be carrying another “person” on its back. Both their hair was a rare pure white, and they were dressed in identical homewear.

A strange feeling suddenly surged in Ling Yuexi’s heart.

Are these… twins?
