When an alien is bound to a world-saving system Chapter 12

“Don't open the door!” The black-haired youth shouted.

But he was still a step too late. The instant the iron chains crashed to the ground, the door was fiercely pushed open by a dense crowd of zombies, scrambling past each other to make their way out!

“Run upstairs!” Chen Da Yong knew that the situation wasn't good. He punched open a zombie that was about to pounce on him and then turned around to run upstairs with the other three people under the cover of whirlwinds and fireballs!

No one noticed that behind them, no matter how many zombies were pushing forward to rush out of the underground floor, the half open door was slowly closing by itself……

With a bang, the door finally snapped shut. The black strands tied themselves into a knot, completely locking the big door. The remaining black strands impatiently poured through the crack in the door and pounced on today's lunch……

“The underground floor is full of zombies! Now, we can only run upstairs through the east side staircase!” Old Chen grabbed his two-way radio and shouted.

“We've already led the group of second level zombies to the 12th floor at the top of the building. Zhao Shu Xuan, Li Ze, stay behind and hide. Wu Han and I will try to lead the zombies down the west side staircase! We absolutely must not let them surround us on both sides!” Xu Yun Cheng's calm command came through the radio.

At the same time, the concealed strands on each person's shoulder were just like microscopic cameras, transmitting sound and image to a certain alien. Just when the four of them ran to the second floor corridor:

“Ah! I think that's a third level zombie!” From the radio came the sound of Li Ze's shout and Zhao Shu Xuan's alarmed scream!

At the same time, through the concealed black strands, the black-haired youth saw a zombie who was wearing a big white gown. Its complexion was pale grey, but it seemingly didn't have any rotten parts on its body. The zombie directly smashed through the door of the nurses station where the pair of sweethearts were hiding and pounced towards the two people!

But at this moment, the person closest to them, Xu Yun Cheng, had already led the horde of second level zombies down to the 9th floor. He couldn't turn back!

The black-haired youth had no choice but to pretend that he was frightened from being closely chased by the underground zombies and frantically ran towards a ward in panic! Then, seemingly in order to evade the zombies behind him, he threw himself out of the second floor window in desperation.

“Xiao Yi!” Old Chen's family of three cried out in alarm, immediately turning around and rushing towards the window.

And at the top of the building, that third level zombie was already approaching the two sweethearts step by step. Lightning struck its body like rain, but they only left fingernail-sized scorch marks. What's more, Zhao Shu Xuan's ice blades couldn't even pierce its skin!

3 metres, 2 metres, 1 metre….. The third level zombie lunged to take a bite at Zhao Shu Xuan. In a moment of desperation, Li Ze rushed to stand in front of her. The doctor zombie grabbed his shoulder and bared its teeth, about to bite down!

Outside the window, the black-haired youth instantly alienated his limbs and torso in midair. He climbed up the outer wall of the building, his speed leaving afterimages, and reached the window of the room where the third level zombie was in 2 seconds. Directly smashing the glass, he then dashed through the window into the room!

At this moment, Zhao Shu Xuan was watching as her lover's shoulder was crushed by the zombie and his face was about to be bitten! She madly threw herself over, pulling at the zombie's arm and dragging it back with all her might. However, fighting this third level zombie was just like an ant trying to shake a big tree. She could only watch in despair as the zombie's teeth bit towards Li Ze's face……

Suddenly, a shadow broke through the window and entered the room! It instantly moved behind the zombie and extended its right hand to grip the zombie's neck, giving it a twist to the left! With a crack, the zombie's neck snapped! The claw that was tightly gripping Li Ze's shoulder powerlessly drooped down. Having been released, Li Ze also sprawled onto the floor.

Zhao Shu Xuan immediately hugged Li Ze and the two of them turned to look at a certain alien with fear and trepidation.

“Xi-Xiao Yi?” Li Ze was trembling as he looked at the black-haired youth whose arms were both intact. Zhao Shu Xuan also stared disbelievingly at him.

The black-haired youth smiled and nodded. He grabbed the zombie head that was still making futile attempts to bite and inserted it onto an IV stand, giving it a quick death. While putting a finger up to his lips and making a ‘shh' gesture, he softly said:

“Help me keep this a secret~”

Then, he leapt out of the window.

“Ah!” Zhao Shu Xuan let out a cry of alarm, but then immediately covered her mouth.

“Zhao Shu Xuan, Li Ze, are you guys okay?” Xu Yun Cheng's slightly anxious voice came through the walkie-talkie.

When the two of them heard this, they glanced at each other and hesitated, not knowing how they should answer. In the end, Li Ze coughed. Trying with difficulty to control his trembling voice, he replied:

“The zombie has already been dealt with. It crushed my shoulder…… you don't need to worry about us. It's not a big injury.”

Outside the building, the black-haired youth precisely jumped down from the 12th floor with the assistance of his black strands and performed a forward roll. Retracting his left arm, he then steadily stood on the cement floor outside the hospital building and look up towards Old Chen's family of three who had rushed to the window. Waving at them, he said:

“I'm fine. It's just the second floor, I didn't get injured.”

After the three of them saw that the youth was completely intact, they then let out a big sigh of relief and shouted at him:

“Don't be afraid! Stay there and don't move. We'll come down right away to protect you!”

After saying this, Chen Da Yong took the lead and jumped down. He then turned around and opened his arms wide, catching the two old folks who jumped down after him. The four people met up without a hitch.

Most of the zombies that were chasing them had already been eliminated by the family of three, leaving only a few left. They surrounded the window and let out a roar, trying hard to create an illusion that they were a big horde.

“Let's now go to the power generation room! We should use this opportunity since all the zombies have been led upstairs!” A certain alien lied.

Old Chen's family of three thought about the densely packed amount of zombies in the underground and hesitated. In the end, Chen Da Yong still clenched his teeth and said:

“Go, let's go now. It's better than heading there after Leader Xu has led that group of second level zombies down to us!”

Consequently, the four of them once again arrived at the staircase leading to the underground floor. Chen Da Yong cautiously stepped forward and opened the tightly closed door. They were all on guard against anything that would jump out!

As a result, the inside was completely empty.

Summoning up their courage, they opened their flashlights and ventured in. They passed in astonishment through the corridor without a single soul in sight. Extremely tense, they only felt that the space around them seemed a little more narrow and cramped than the previous few times they had come here. (On the walls and ceiling, a thick layer of black strands camouflaged in white were tightly crammed together.)

When they finally arrived at the power generation room, the black-haired youth reached out his hand and put the backup electrical generator and a few barrels of diesel into his system space. After notifying Xu Yun Cheng of the success of their task, they then rushed back to the surface.

The four of them waited by the Jeeps for a while. It was actually Zhao Shu Xuan who supported Li Ze and came back first with a big pile of medicine. They were still a little terrified of the black-haired youth and avoided his gaze, getting on the other car. After meeting with Xu Yun Cheng and Wu Han who had scattered the second level zombies in the entire hospital building, the two cars then stepped on the accelerator and charged out of the hospital. Leaving behind an earth wall to stall the zombies, the cars drove off back to the base.

It hadn't even been an hour since they entered the hospital, and yet they were able to bring back the electrical generator they had failed to obtained for the past few years. There was also only one person who received a minor injury. This time, the mission was unbelievably smooth-sailing.

The eight of them returned to the villa in high spirits. Placing that two tonne electrical generator at the entrance of the villa, they then informed the remaining members of the good news!

Afterwards, Change Feng base held a grand celebratory feast: Everyone heartily ate fragrant rice with braised pork made from the fresh meat inside a certain alien's space. They all imagined how blissful their life would be after having the electrical generator! Everyone lively celebrated until midnight, then slowly returning to their rooms to rest. Even Li Ze, who had receive an injury, use his uninjured arm to repeatedly pick up meat, his entire face glowing as he ate.

In the middle of the night, a certain alien who was sleeping suddenly opened his eyes and let out a chuckle.

System 2d14, who was still immersed in the lively atmosphere excitedly said: [Lord Host! You were really awesome today! Just now, is this what's called ‘laughing yourself awake from your dreams'?]

The black-haired youth faintly smiled: “No. I just found out that there's more than one person ‘putting on an act' in Cheng Feng base!”

System 2d14: [Ah?]

The black-haired youth: “You'll know tomorrow morning. Anyway, in this kind of cold and barren world, the black strands will need half a month to cover the entire globe.”

After saying this, a certain alien was bored to death and laid back on his bed.

The next morning

The strong woman Sun Ya Nan was the first to get out of bed to make breakfast. After coming out to the courtyard, she kept feeling that something was wrong. After 5 minutes, she finally reacted; the electrical generator in the courtyard had actually disappeared without a trace! The little bit of sleepiness and joy remaining from last night's celebration instantly vanished. She frantically ran back inside the villa and called everyone to wake up.

After everyone found out this extremely shocking news, they swarmed out the door to look at the empty courtyard. Holding onto the last trace of hope, there were even some people who asked the black-haired youth whether he had put the electrical generator away in his space in order to properly protect it. But after receiving a negative answer, everyone's expressions became grave.

“The earth wall hasn't been touched.” Xu Yun Cheng came to this conclusion after inspecting the surroundings.

“Not even a power ability user can move a two tonne electrical generator.” The big man Wu Yi raised this issue. If they didn't have the electrical generator, the other ability users might still be able to endure through the winter, but for his less than one year old daughter, it was practically like a death sentence. Wu Yi gloomily continued to analyse: “Only a space ability user could have taken it away, and other ability users from outside must climb over the earth wall to enter the courtyard.”

“What are you implying!” Old Chen's family of three couldn't remain sitting.

“This is just according to my analysis.” Wu Yi didn't have the intention of starting a fight. He just gloomily replied with this sentence.

“The members here, a space ability user, you are simply suspecting Xiao Yi! But this is absolutely impossible!” Huang Shen Er angrily said.

“That is indeed impossible……” Zhao Shu Xuan and Li Ze also quietly agreed. How could such a big powerful boss value an electrical generator?

“I also believe in Xiao Yi.” The next person to support the black-haired youth was actually Sun Ya Nan.

Wu Yi calmly stood to the side without expressing any opinion. Wu Han and Chu Nan also hesitated without saying anything.

“Enough!” Xu Yun Cheng finally broke the confrontation between the two sides. “Whatever the case, Chang Feng base is one group, we can't be internally divided! Let's all disperse. Everyone go back and calm down first.”

As soon as they returned to their rooms, System 2d14 indignantly said: [How could they suspect Lord Host! Just yesterday, Lord Host had helped them bring back the electrical generator! Lord Host had also been sleeping in his room the entire night! How could he possibly know where the electrical generator went!] 2d14 was so angry that it could cry!

The black-haired youth: “But I do know!”
