Chapter 388 388 - The final showdown
"Fifty kilometers," Yue whispered paling viably. His trembling hands clung to Fan's sleeve. "he is coming here fast. Everyone, arm yourself. Protect the old and children." He shouted out orders.
They did not have time to panic. every second was precious. Tian and the others hurried around arming themselves to the boot.
The chickens and the other pets were not idle either. The children burrowed around creating man-sized horizontal holes in the ground and Coco went around filling the holes with dried grass from nearby.
"Remove the tree from the car. Let it take root… feed it some seeds," Yue ordered Fan.
His husband did as he was ordered, pulling the huge mutated free from the top of their car. This was their ultimate shield. The powerless people and children can be protected by the tree... as far as the others.
'We were so unprepared… I took it too casually...' Yue gritted his teeth. He ran to Prisitsky and took the rest of the seeds.
The young scientist looked at him like he was crazy. "These trees can kill us all..."
"Better than being eaten alive." He used the same method to germinate all the seeds. He dropped the saplings around them in a circle with their cars in the middle. The tallest mutated plant that they grew a few days ago was in the middle protecting the children.
"Prisitsky, you just control the one in the middle. You guys…. Keep everyone safe.' He gazed at Hary.
His metal limbs melted away and formed an elastic shield over everyone's body leaving him limbless.
Hary nodded stiffly. "Come here." he touched Yue's shoulders and a metal-like armor spread on his skin. "Everyone, line up."
His metal limbs melted away and formed an elastic shield over everyone's body leaving him limbless.
Tian guided him to the car. "Stay in. Drive away when I give you the cue."
Yue grimly nodded. "Fan and I will distract Liwei. He is after me. When I give out the signal, please leave."
"No!" Chen jumped out of the car and hugged his legs. "I won't leave you... I won't leave you all..."
"We will catch up with you guys... don't you believe in Dad." He picked up his baby and kissed his cheeks. "We will be fine... we will get through this as a family." He cast a soft gaze at his child.
His mom was silently sobbing, hugging Zara to her arms and his dad was sitting there with a grim look on his face.
"We will survive!" he shouted
The soldiers all looked nervous. Yue would not blame them if they left. After all, this was the trouble he invited in.
'I never should have let Liwei die like that. I should have burned him at the stake.' He gritted his teeth. "Fan! Tian where's Trexa?! We'll send her with my parents."
Tian looked at him hesitantly.
Trexa was the only one who was able to heal anyone. Plus, with her time reverse they might have a small advantage in this upcoming battle.
But he did not wish to leave his parents so unguarded like this. Hary had lost most of his metal limbs because he had made them into suits for all., Prisitsky's powers were uncontrollable. His tree was still not in control, and uncle Wen was powerless. His dad only had a small plant to protect them. It was not enough.
They needed Trexa more.
Gritting her teeth, Tian bought Trexa who looked confused.
Yue placed the little rat in the car, along with the sobbing child. "Take care of them for me Trexa."
Trexa stiffened slightly. "Squeak…."
"You can't stay with us. Because you are in charge of protecting them all. Keep them safe until we come to find you. Don't be scared if it takes us a few days… we will survive this." he gave a hopeful look to his mum.
She sobbingly held her arms out. "don't Yue... let's run. We'll run until the end of the world… please"
"We can't run anymore…. we have to fight mum. This is our last stance." Yue wiped her face. "Duplicate the food in the cart. It will be enough for a while. Find a safe place to stay. It's getting dark so… please be careful. Take care of the kids, mum."
"don't sound like you're leaving forever. Please... Yue..." she clung to him.
Yue controlled his tears. "I… please stay safe." He pulled away coldly and walked over to Fan's side.
Removing his gloves, he held his hand and copied his lightning ability. "Ten kilometers." His panicking heart suddenly calmed down as he gazed up at Fan's warm eyes.
His lover tightened his grip on his hand.
"We... we have to live. Not just me, not just you. We… I don't want to lose anyone."
Fan smiled softly. "We won't." he gazed at the soldiers who were standing around nervously. "Wind ability users! Come up front! Create a gale. Let's distract them. Chickens, you guys are in charge of the ground under their feet! Coco!" he gazed at the dog. "Well… be fast."
Fan's eyes fell on Tian who had a cool look on her face.
"aren't you going to say anything to Juda,"
Tian gazed up at him with an unknown look on her face. "I… I don't want to."
"What if it's the last?" he whispered albeit softly.
"It won't be."
"It better not be!" Juda screamed from behind. "I'll never forgive you if…. You better come back alive and marry me you asshole! At least turn and look at me."
Tian gritted her teeth and refused to look back.
Fan gave her a confused look.
"Looking back will make me run back to her. can't afford to do that?" she sighed softly. "They are here."
The huge army of zombies rapidly approached them.
And in its lead was a speedy figure. "Yue!!! I'll kill you!!!! I'll kill you all!!!!"
"Now!" the chickens went into overdrive and the ground collapsed underneath zombies feet.
"Wind ability!" Fan screamed.
A huge amount of gale surrounded their team pulling in dust and debris.
"ZOU YUE!!!! DIE!!!!!"
