Chapter 145 Healer

Li Chenzhou, plummeting down, grabbed Xiaoya and pulled her into his arms. He twisted his body in mid-air, crashing heavily onto the roof of a shop below.

These shops were the simple, iron-framed stalls found in the mall's central atrium. The metal frame buckled and snapped as Li Chenzhou hit, and he and Xiaoya crashed straight into the freezer display beneath.

"Bang! Crash!"

A deafening sound of shattering filled the air. Li Chenzhou felt as if he had been hit by a train, and a darkness threatened to overwhelm him.

Just then, Xiaoya reached out and placed her hand on Li Chenzhou's forehead. A cool sensation emanated from her palm, spreading throughout his body.

When he had crashed into the freezer, he had instinctively protected Xiaoya, and his right arm had slammed against the edge, snapping the bone between his shoulder and elbow. Jagged bone protruded from the wound.

But now, under the influence of some mysterious power, Li Chenzhou's arm straightened itself, the broken bone realigning itself. The gushing blood stopped, and the wound began to heal…

At the same time, Li Chenzhou felt the pain in his back and legs gradually fade. It seemed the healing power was not just focused on his arm, but was affecting the wounds all over his body.

Li Chenzhou looked down at Xiaoya in his arms and smiled. "So… you're a healer?"

Xiaoya looked confused, but seeing Li Chenzhou's smile, she instinctively smiled back, her hand remaining on his forehead.

In less than a minute, Li Chenzhou felt completely recovered. Not only had the pain vanished, but he felt incredibly energized.

However, Xiaoya, still smiling happily at Li Chenzhou, grew paler and paler. Alarmed, Li Chenzhou grabbed her shoulders. "Okay, Xiaoya, I'm fine now!"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Xiaoya relaxed, and then suddenly fainted…

"Xiaoya?"

Li Chenzhou panicked and quickly checked her breathing. Thankfully, it was steady. It seemed she had simply exhausted herself healing him.

Scooping Xiaoya up and climbing out of the freezer, Li Chenzhou scanned his surroundings. He grabbed a nearby strap and used it to secure Xiaoya to his back.

They had fallen straight to the first floor, where the most zombies roamed. Despite the loud crash when Li Chenzhou had fallen, the zombies remained indifferent, still crowding towards the source of the summons.

Li Chenzhou looked up. None of the others had appeared. A cruel smile twisted his lips. He immediately charged towards the escalator, heading upwards.

Xiaoya's mental shockwave must have been potent. Even he, with a mental strength of 40, had felt dizzy. Those guys must be unconscious by now.

Li Chenzhou never showed mercy to his enemies. He needed to go back and finish them off. He didn't care about being called a coward.

But to Li Chenzhou's surprise, when he returned to the spot where he had jumped, he found it empty. The scene he had imagined, bodies sprawled everywhere, was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are they?"

Li Chenzhou frowned, looking at the opened stairwell door.

Why? He had felt dizzy under Xiaoya's mental attack. How had those guys not been affected?

There was only one explanation: their mental strength was higher than his.

Li Chenzhou's eyes twitched. Seven or eight awakeners stronger than him? Impossible.

He glanced at Xiaoya, her head resting on his shoulder, and took a deep breath. He didn't believe they were all mental ability users. If they were, they wouldn't have run away.

The only reason they hadn't been affected by Xiaoya's mental shockwave was his War Fog!!!

When Xiaoya had fallen, they had already been enveloped in the War Fog. It must have shielded them from the mental attack.

So, War Fog not only blocked sound and sight, but also mental attacks?

Li Chenzhou scratched his chin. He needed to study this skill more closely to maximize its potential.

Without wasting any time, Li Chenzhou carried Xiaoya up to the seventh floor and back to Duan Lei's room.

Duan Lei, who had been standing guard at the door, opened it immediately. Seeing Xiaoya unconscious on Li Chenzhou's back, he opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.

Knowing Li Chenzhou's strength, Duan Lei believed nothing could stand against him. But now, they had left together and returned with Xiaoya in such a state. There was only one possibility: they had encountered a powerful enemy.

"Boss! What was it?" Duan Lei asked, locking the door behind Li Chenzhou.

"I don't know!"

Li Chenzhou shook his head and waved his hand. "But they're not important. What matters is that we need to get out of here! Out of the city! There's a powerful corpse king nearby!"

"Corpse king?"

Duan Lei was taken aback. He pointed at Xiaoya on Li Chenzhou's back. "It's…?"

"Yes! And stronger than Xiaoya's mother!"

Li Chenzhou nodded. "Xiaoya's mother only gathered the zombies from their residential area. But this one... its summoning range is at least three or four kilometers!"

"Three or four kilometers?"

Duan Lei's face paled.

He didn't know much about corpse kings, but it was easy to imagine how powerful one must be to gather and control all the zombies within a four-kilometer radius.

"We need to leave now. We can't wait for them to wake up. I'll take Leopard, you carry your sister. Stay close!"

Without further explanation, Li Chenzhou grabbed Leopard from the conference table and walked out.

Seeing Li Chenzhou leave, Duan Lei snapped out of his daze. He rushed to pick up Duan Xue and followed him…
