Chapter 478 – Aerial Feast

As the two people were talking, they didn’t notice a figure suddenly appearing on the rooftop of a building ahead.

Even if they had noticed, they wouldn’t have given it a second glance.

The tattered clothes, messy hair, and blood-red eyes clearly indicated that this figure was just a zombie.

On the surrounding streets, there were about twenty more zombies, obviously drawn out by the noise of the helicopter…

They had become numb to the sight of zombies over the past couple of days. No matter how much these zombies roared or tried to attack the helicopter, it was all in vain.

Their “Aerial Squad,” consisting of only three people including the pilot, was not like the mediocre strength of One-Eye and his group.

With superb flying skills, a strict policy of not getting too close to the ground or buildings, constant circling, and not lingering in one place for too long…

These measures effectively ensured their ability to safely and efficiently search for and harass Ling Mo and his group.

However, just as the helicopter approached the airspace above the building, the seemingly unremarkable figure suddenly grabbed the cable behind him and swiftly retreated.

His powerful hands tightly gripped the cable, with blood-red eyes showing a frenzy, veins bulging on his forehead and neck, muscles swelling, and his calves straightened like steel!

With immense strength, he pulled the thumb-thick cable taut like a bowstring.

He fixed his eyes on the helicopter and suddenly sprang out!

The figure shot out like a cannonball, startling the members of the Air Force Corps.

Seeing a dark figure rapidly enlarging before their eyes, the pilot squinted and shouted, “What the heck is that?”

It was the man with the duckbill cap who reacted quickly. He sneered and said:

“Damn, that really scared me. But from this distance, even with a spring, it can’t reach us!”

“Exactly, at this height, unless it can fly, it definitely can’t reach us.”

Another man raised a submachine gun and crouched at the cabin door.

Their expressions were still relatively relaxed at this moment. Over the past two days, they had passed through here dozens of times, encountering zombie attacks about half the time.

However, while they had seen zombies trying to throw things, they had never seen one use itself as a projectile.

This was certainly a new trick, indicating that zombies’ intelligence shouldn’t be underestimated…

Unfortunately, a zombie is still a zombie. Trying to deal with a helicopter in mid-air?

That’s just a dream…

Sure enough, as soon as it reached mid-air, the momentum began to wane.

Seeing that the zombie was about to stop its high-speed ascent and be shot to pieces before hitting the ground… the man holding the gun already had a faint smile of satisfaction.

But at that moment, a bizarre scene suddenly unfolded.

The zombie seemed to step on an invisible rope in the air, pushing down with its feet and using the force to bounce up, appearing right in front of the helicopter.

“What the hell!”

How could a zombie have such precise calculation abilities and that eerie “air step”?!

Before they could think further, the zombie had already swung its fist, and under the pilot’s suddenly widened eyes, punched the helicopter!

“Boom!”

A muffled sound, even louder than the helicopter’s noise!

From fingertip to shoulder, the zombie’s fist exploded with blood, its muscles completely tearing under the rebound force!

But the helicopter wobbled and tilted, with the pilot crying out in panic and the man’s bullets missing their target completely.

After landing the punch, the zombie was slammed by the helicopter’s nose, clinging to it and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Its blood-red eyes locked onto the pilot, and it swung another punch down.

Although the aviation glass didn’t shatter immediately, the helicopter continued to shake.

At that moment, a dozen more zombies appeared in mid-air using the same method.

Some failed to complete the double jump and fell, but more managed to grab onto the helicopter.

A terrifying scene unfolded over X City.

An airborne helicopter was actually surrounded by zombies that could only move on the ground!

These zombies clung to the helicopter, refusing to let go once they had a grip.

“What the hell is going on?! What the hell is happening?”

The man with the duckbill cap shot a zombie climbing to the cabin door and yelled angrily.

“How the hell should I know!”

The other man cursed while firing his weapon, “Keep it steady! How am I supposed to shoot with all this shaking?”

“I’d love to, but…”

The pilot, his face filled with terror, was staring ahead. Several hideous faces were now plastered against the windshield. This was his first time encountering zombies at such close range in mid-air!

Not only that, but these zombies were also pounding on the same spot in unison.

In all his years of flying, he had never encountered such a bizarre situation.

What terrified him the most was that the top-quality aviation glass was beginning to show cracks…

These zombies were like a suicide squad!

To them, the helicopter seemed like a tasty prey.

They pulled with all their might, destroying with all their strength…

“This isn’t just zombies; it has to be that guy, that Ling Mo’s doing!”

The man with the duckbill cap struggled to maintain his balance while trying to shoot down the zombies, shouting as he did so.

“But…”

The other man looked incredulous and said, “This goes beyond ‘commanding’ them, right? And the number… the distance… it’s impossible!”

He shot down another zombie and quickly glanced below: “No, it’s all zombies down there, no humans! It can’t be him!”

“Then how do you explain this situation?!”

“Don’t ask me!”

Just two minutes later, the helicopter suddenly started spewing black smoke, lost control, and began to tilt downward.

“Boom!”

As the helicopter crashed into a low building, the rising smoke and the explosion’s flames instantly engulfed the smaller structure.

“Ugh… cough…”

Through the black smoke, two figures were crawling up from a place less than a hundred meters from the small building.

Despite the helicopter crash, their abilities allowed them to jump out just in time before the impact.

However, they were covered in multiple injuries and blood, looking quite disheveled…

“Hurry, the explosion will attract the zombies…”

The man with the duckbill cap cut himself off mid-sentence.

From a nearby alley, a person emerged.

This person, with a face full of mockery, stared at them and spoke in a calm but incredibly arrogant voice to their ears:

“Nice to meet you.”

Though they had never met before, the man with the duckbill cap immediately felt a chill shoot up from his heels to the top of his head.

This person… was Ling Mo!

Damn, at a time like this…

Even if Li Hao and the others heard the explosion and rushed over, it would still take some time…

“Screw it, what’s there to be afraid of! Let’s go for it!”

A fierce look flashed in the eyes of the man with the duckbill cap. He rolled to the side and swiftly drew his gun.

Such an unexpected move should catch the opponent off guard. The other guy was just a mental ability superhuman; a barrage of bullets might not kill him, but should at least injure him.

However, just as his arm lifted, a sharp pain shot through his wrist, and a gush of blood followed.

“Ah!”

With a scream, the handgun fell to the ground. As he reached for it, the gun eerily slid forward to Ling Mo’s feet.

Without bending down, Ling Mo merely twitched his fingers, and the gun flew into his hand.

“It would be best not to struggle pointlessly… Oh, right, isn’t this what you guys love to say?”

Ling Mo pointed the gun at the man with the duckbill cap and smiled.

“Wait…”

The man with the duckbill cap barely got a word out before a “bang” rang out. Instinctively, he ducked his head.

When he looked up, he saw the bullet had hit the ground a few meters away…

Confused, he lifted his head to look at Ling Mo, only to see the dark barrel now pointed directly at him again.
