Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 69 – Queen of Flames, Mine!

The slaughter continued.

Fire Phoenix’s desperate charge was a laughable, overconfident joke in the face of the white-haired queen’s absolute numerical superiority.

The survivors by her side fell, one after another.

Throats torn open by sharp claws.

Necks snapped by rotten teeth.

Screams of agony, guttural roars, and the crunch of breaking bones intertwined to form an apocalyptic symphony of death.

Lin Fan watched with great interest, even taking out a phone from her Storage Space.

She pressed the record button.

The camera lens aimed at the hell on earth below.

She deliberately gave a few close-ups to the mutated zombies, whose movements were coordinated and disciplined.

Then she zoomed out, framing the entire battlefield and the white-haired woman on the watchtower, who looked down upon all living things like a god.

“Perfect evidence.”

Lin Fan murmured to herself, a cold smile playing on her lips.

Fire Phoenix’s team was completely annihilated here.

That meant the base she left vacant, along with all the supplies and survivors within, would naturally be hers for the taking.

And this recording was the best possible evidence.

Look, we have a common enemy.

A terrifying, white-haired queen who can control the horde of zombies.

Your former leader, Fire Phoenix, died at her hands.

Now, I, Lei Li, the ruler of Fragrant Hills International, will avenge you and lead you to survival.

What a perfect script.

Lin Fan could even imagine how the leaderless, helpless survivors would gratefully throw themselves into her arms after seeing this video.

In the frame, Fire Phoenix’s last subordinate was pounced on by three zombies and instantly devoured.

Now, she was the only one left.

Her fiery-red combat suit was stained with dark-red blood and black ash.

She leaned on her long saber, panting heavily, her chest heaving violently.

Sweat mixed with blood trickled down her cold, beautiful cheeks.

She looked around. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but the remains of her former comrades and a crushing, endless sea of zombies.

Despair completely extinguished the last glimmer of light in her eyes.

“Aaaargh!”

She let out an unwilling roar, squeezing out the last dregs of energy left in her body.

Whoosh!

A fireball, larger than any she had created before, shot out from her hand.

It exploded in the middle of the Horde of zombies, creating a vacuum of fire more than ten meters in diameter.

Hundreds of zombies shrieked in the inferno, struggling before turning to charcoal.

But this was merely a drop in the ocean.

More zombies, from the edge of the sea of fire, continued to advance on her in neat, orderly steps.

After doing all this, Fire Phoenix’s body swayed. Unable to support herself any longer, she fell to one knee.

The long saber in her hand clattered to the ground.

Her consciousness sank into boundless darkness.

“The time is right.”

Atop the mountain, Lin Fan put away her phone, her face bearing the confident smile of a hunter who has their prey cornered.

She tapped her toes lightly on the ground.

Her entire body shot up into the sky like a cannonball.

Her terrifying physical constitution, twenty times that of a normal person, allowed her to unleash an unbelievable jumping force.

A height of over ten meters was nothing more than an ordinary leap for her.

Her figure traced a graceful black arc through the air, easily clearing the military camp’s several-meter-high barbed-wire fence.

She landed without making a single sound.

Like a feather, she landed lightly on the edge of the battlefield.

Rеаԁ on KаtRеаⅾіոɡСαfе

The surrounding zombies seemed not to see her, continuing to close in numbly on the kneeling figure in the center.

Lin Fan didn’t pause for a moment.

Her body instantly became a blur, weaving through the dense horde of zombies.

Before her, the uniformly moving mutated zombies were as sluggish as if they were in slow motion.

She didn’t even need to attack.

Relying solely on her ghostly speed and movement, she easily carved a straight line through the gaps in the horde toward the center.

In less than two seconds.

She had already appeared beside the unconscious Fire Phoenix.

She bent down and, as if lifting a chick, easily scooped up the tall Fire Phoenix with one hand and hoisted her onto her shoulder.

The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, not alerting a single zombie.

It was only when she was shouldering Fire Phoenix and preparing to leave.

The horde of zombies, which had been motionless, seemed to have suddenly received a command. They all turned their heads in unison, their empty eye sockets all aimed in Lin Fan’s direction.

“Roar!”

Several thousand zombies let out a heaven-shaking roar at the same time.

They moved.

It was no longer the previous unhurried encirclement, but a frenzied charge in Lin Fan’s direction.

Carrying Fire Phoenix, Lin Fan glanced back.

She wasn’t looking at the horde of zombies.

She was looking at the military camp’s watchtower.

Just as she expected.

The white-haired zombie queen was standing at the top of the tower.

Her gaze pierced the vast distance, passed over the heads of several thousand zombies, and landed precisely on Lin Fan.

What kind of eyes were those?

Pitch-black and profound.

Reαԁ οո ΚаtReaԁiոɡСafе

Like a lofty deity scrutinizing an ant that had trespassed into its domain.

Lin Fan’s heart skipped a beat.

It wasn’t fear.

It was excitement!

The thrill of meeting a worthy opponent!

The desire to see even more exquisite prey!

She even grinned in the white-haired queen’s direction, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.

It was a silent provocation.

After making this gesture, she lingered no longer and turned to run.

Her speed exploded to its absolute limit.

The muscles in her legs were like springs; every push off the ground sent her flying more than ten meters.

She was like a black-and-white bolt of lightning. With just a few leaps and bounds among the ruins, she left the terrifying tide of zombies far behind her.

Soon, carrying Fire Phoenix, she disappeared into the city’s steel jungle.

On the watchtower.

The white-haired queen quietly watched the direction in which Lin Fan had disappeared. In her pitch-black eye sockets, a barely perceptible ripple seemed to flash.

…

Lin Fan did not return to Fragrant Hills International.

Carrying Fire Phoenix, she found a nearby abandoned residential building that looked relatively sturdy.

She kicked open the security door.

After confirming there were no zombies inside, she walked in.

She casually tossed the “spoils of war” from her shoulder onto a dusty sofa in the living room.

The sofa groaned under the weight.

Lin Fan walked to the window and cautiously observed the surroundings. After confirming no zombies had followed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned around and began to carefully size up her new prey.

Reaⅾ on KatReаdіոɡСafе

Her fiery-red hair, matted with sweat and blood, stuck to her pale, cold, and beautiful cheeks.

The tight-fitting combat suit outlined her curvaceous and powerful body.

Even in her unconscious state, her brows were tightly furrowed with an unyielding stubbornness.

“Fire Phoenix…”

“An elemental controller…”

Lin Fan reached out, her fingertips gently tracing Fire Phoenix’s cheek, feeling the delicate skin.

Her eyes were filled with greed and possessiveness.

Lei Li’s body gave her ultimate strength and close-combat abilities.

If she were to fuse with this body that could control fire, and then add Long Yue’s Psychokinesis…

What kind of powerful existence would that be?

She could hardly wait.

“System.”

Lin Fan called out in her mind.

“Begin crafting.”

She placed her palm gently on Fire Phoenix’s smooth forehead.

A cold, familiar energy surged from her palm, slowly pouring into Fire Phoenix’s body.
