"I'll need at least twelve bolts of lightning to complete the reconstruction of the electromagnetic model in my body!"
Misaka Mikoto slowly sat on the ground and unbuttoned her clothes without hesitation … Misaka Mikoto, who used to throw a tantrum when she was seen naked, probably felt guilty for deceiving Guhan. However, this time, she did not say anything and took off her clothes neatly.
"My body must be in full contact with the lightning in order to completely absorb the power of the lightning."
Misaka Mikoto explained. She hesitated for a while. "I'm forced to do this. It's not a big deal."
"I understand."
Guhan's expression was rather cold. His attitude was completely different from when he was with Misaka Mikoto. To Guhan, protecting Misaka Mikoto was really just a mission. There was nothing else in it.
"I'm sorry … I don't know what else to say other than sorry. I lied to you!"
Misaka Mikoto let out a long sigh. "I promise you that this time, I'll fight to the death for Yuzhang City. As long as I, Misaka Mikoto, exist in this world, Yuzhang City will definitely exist in this world. I'll live and die with Yuzhang City."
"Alright, I thank you too, Ms. Misaka!"
Guhan's expression softened a little, but it was still very cold. "I also promise you that as long as I'm here, Yuan Kou won't be able to hurt you!"
"Thank you!"
Misaka Mikoto nodded. She then looked up at the sky that was filled with dark clouds. After staring at it for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up. "Mr. Guhan, the lightning is coming!"
As the strongest electromagnetic superpower user, Misaka Mikoto's ability to sense lightning was undeniable.
"Mr. Guhan, when the lightning strikes, I'll use all my concentration to control the lightning in my body. I'll leave everything outside of my body to you, Mr. Guhan!"
Misaka Mikoto paused for a while before adding, "If you encounter an opponent you can't defeat, Mr. Guhan, please leave this place decisively. This is my fate, and I'll accept it with a smile!"
Misaka Mikoto then sat on the ground with her legs crossed.
As soon as she finished her sentence, a golden lightning bolt struck down from the sky … Although the lightning bolt was two kilometers away from Misaka Mikoto, it suddenly made a turn in the sky as if it was attracted by something and landed on Misaka Mikoto's body.
'Misaka Mikoto's body is filled with electric currents. She's like a high-energy superconductor that can attract all the lightning within a few kilometers to her body,' Guhan speculated as he saw the lightning strike Misaka Mikoto's body.
However, Guhan didn't know if his eyes were playing tricks on him, but he noticed that when the lightning fell on the sky above the Rain Flower Terrace Monument, the whole sky trembled, as if something had been pierced.
…
Normally, Misaka Mikoto should have turned into a pile of charcoal after being struck by such a powerful lightning bolt.
However, Misaka Mikoto was an ultimate electromagnetic superpower user. Her foundation was also the foundation of a Yang-level Yuan Kou. After the lightning strike, not only was Misaka Mikoto's body not charred, but it also had a crystal-like texture … Some parts of her body were as perfect as a silicone doll. Not a single flaw could be seen, and it made people's hearts race.
"Oh no, the aftereffects of the Three Green Lotus Blades are here again!"
Guhan's lower body was swollen, and he looked like a Mongolian yurt. Guhan did not dare to look at Misaka Mikoto anymore. At that moment, Misaka Mikoto's naked body had a strong attraction that men could not resist.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Just at this time, the zombies that were originally restrained outside the Rain Flower Terrace suddenly became restless, and began to let out terrifying beast-like howls one after another.
'It looks like the Yuan Kou is finally going to attack!'
Seeing the zombies' actions, Gu Han clearly knew that his leisurely time just now no longer existed. These zombies were going to attack the Rain Flower Terrace!
'However, why are the Yuan Kou only attacking now?
Why didn't they attack when Guhan and the others entered the Rain Flower Terrace?
'This doesn't make sense at all!'
Guhan could not figure it out. However, he had a feeling that everything had something to do with Misaka Mikoto who was behind him. When she started to heal herself, the Yuan Kou became agitated and were ready to attack.
Guhan looked at the surrounding terrain. It was a typical highland. On both sides were cliffs that were about ten meters tall, and there was a steep slope at the front and back.
This terrain was probably an extension of the buildings from before the apocalypse.
The cliffs were supposed to be high concrete walls, and the two steep slopes were supposed to be a series of stairs.
Therefore, Guhan's current defensive strategy was very simple. Guhan and Heavenly Reliance would each guard the entrance of a steep slope. Then, Douyu would be the mobile force and reserve force. This was the most typical defensive strategy.
Fortunately, Misaka Mikoto had entered the state of inner vision due to her healing. All her focus was on controlling the lightning that had entered her body, allowing them to rebuild the electromagnetic model in her body. Misaka Mikoto had no energy to care about anything else other than her body.
No matter what, this was the final moment of the mission. As long as Guhan was able to stop the zombies' attack, Yuzhang City would have another strong ally. Moreover, it would be a Universe Level Freedom who had the intention to repay Misaka Mikoto with her own life … More importantly, although Misaka Mikoto said that she would never let her friends be in danger because of her, when Misaka Mikoto was in danger, would her friends stand by and do nothing?
Therefore, as long as he could protect Misaka Mikoto, Guhan believed that there was at least a seventy percent chance that Yuzhang City would have the support of four to five Universe Level Freedom. To Yuzhang City, it would be like a complete tonic.
Of course, if he encountered an opponent that even Guhan felt he could not defeat, then Guhan would not fight to the death. As long as he had the Green Onion Stone and the Training Formation, Guhan would have no problem protecting his own life.
However, when that time came, Misaka Mikoto might really die here.
'Oh well, if that's the case, then it's just like what she said, this is fate.'
Therefore, Guhan was fully prepared to protect Misaka Mikoto … However, after waiting for a long time, the zombies did not attack.
Although they were still restless and howling even louder, they did not attack the top of the mountain no matter what.
It was like a play on stage. They looked fierce on stage, but they would not leave the stage no matter what.
"What are they doing?
Are they trying to scare us? "Yi Tian was puzzled when he saw the scene.
"No, they're waiting!"
Guhan shook his head. He seemed to have figured out something, but he was still confused. "They're waiting for an opportunity, but what is this opportunity?"
"Boom!"
Another bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed near the Rain Flower Terrace. It was attracted by Misaka Mikoto who was sitting there and entered her body. This time, Guhan paid close attention to every detail.
As expected, just like the previous time, when the lightning got close to the Rain Flower Terrace, the sky above the terrace shook. It seemed to shake even more violently than before.
"Guhan, they're moving!
They're starting to move! "
At that time, Yi Tian who had been observing the bottom of the mountain suddenly shouted. Guhan did not have time to think about the strange movement caused by the lightning and looked down.
He saw the zombies that were hopping on the ground and not moving a moment ago suddenly charging toward the top of the mountain at full speed.
"Yi Tian, let's guard each side."
According to their previous strategy, Yi Tian blocked the entrance of the steep slope behind Misaka Mikoto while Guhan threw the Douyu sword in his hand to free Gu Yun. He then instructed her to observe the cliffs on both sides to prevent the zombies from climbing up the cliffs.
"Come on, you useless zombies. This heroine will kill as many as you come!" Yi Tian waved her sword and taunted the zombies.
Unfortunately, the zombies had no intelligence and could not understand Yi Tian's words. In their eyes, Yi Tian was no different from a lively monkey.
With the zombies' speed, it would take them about five minutes to walk from the foot of the mountain to the Rain Flower Terrace monument. After all, normal zombies did not move very fast. Moreover, the roads around the Rain Flower Terrace were mostly mountain roads. For zombies with poor balance, it was very tiring to walk.
However, after the zombies had walked for less than a minute, Guhan noticed that something was wrong with the zombies.
The zombies' eyes, nostrils, and mouths … Wherever there was a hole, there was a black liquid flowing out … Moreover, as time passed, the speed of the black liquid flowing out increased. In the end, it was like a faucet that had been turned on to its maximum capacity. The black liquid gushed out crazily and the zombies' bodies began to shrink. In the end, they turned into a deflated balloon and collapsed to the ground, turning into a horrifying corpse skin.
At the same time, a dimensional vortex appeared and sucked in the corpse skin and the black liquid that flowed out.
In less than two minutes, the zombies died before they could even touch Guhan's body … It was as if their bodies had been squeezed dry by a juicer. Guhan had never heard of such a method of death.
What kind of secret was hidden in this Cemetery of Martyrs?
