Last week, Hong Kong Ind had experienced chaos. Colonel Chan, who was the highest-ranking military officer in Hong Kong disappeared along with the richest businessman, Li Song Ki. They had carried with them a bountiful amount of supplies as well as the only functioning ship, which was brought by Christina from Singapore.


    Colonel Chan was coughing blood as the ck zombie''s sword arm lifted him high in the air.


    Christina lunged.


    Swwissshhh!!! Crkk!!


    Christina''s new sword cut through the ck zombie''s arm that was harder than a stone with ease.


    Jennie caught the falling Colonel Chan and dashed to a corner to inspect him.


    It didn''t look good for the colonel. His chest was pierced through and hollow.. He tried to breathe, but he kept getting choked by the blood pouring out of his mouth. The colonel couldn''t say anything as he stared at Jennie. Within his eyes, Jennie could clearly see his regret and anger, reflecting in his dted pupils before he breathed hisst with eyes opened.


    Jennie wiped Colonel Chan''s eyes closed and then a scared, shaking voice called out to her.


    "Y-Y-You... you''re here! Good, good. Save me."


    A fat man, wearing a luxurious coat, was shivering in the corner wall. He was Li Song Ki. One of Hong Kong''s most influential figures and its richest man. He appeared here after he had left together with Colonel Chan.


    Li Song Ki''s appearance was rugged and had blood stains all over. His shoulder had been ripped but it had already dried. He was limping as he walked over to Jennie with his arms tightly wrapped around a suitcase.


    "S-Save me, woman! I-I have money! I''llpensate you so that you''ll never have to w-work again!" He was stuttering along with his shaking limbs.


    Jennie looked over where he had been hiding, only to notice the dozens corpses of the soldiers. It looked like they all died trying to protect him. Li Song Ki may still be alive, but he was barely hanging on.


    "Let me check your wounds first, Let go of your suitcase," Jennie said as she extended a hand.


    He was dying when he had called out to her. But the moment Jennie mentioned the suitcase, he turned heated and eximed, "No! No! No! Don''t touch my suitcase! This is my treasure!" he then coughed off blood. His wound seems to have worsened.


    Jennie shook her head. This man valued his possessions more than his life. She wanted toment about his greediness but decided to hold her tongue.


    Christina, on the other hand, was still busy fighting the ck zombie. She was actually gauging and adjusting to her newfound power. Fortunately, the power of the early stage earth realm was able to match the speed of the ck zombie. Her reaction had also be faster allowing her to easily predict the direction of the monster''s attack. She thought that if she faced this ck zombie alone, she was sure she''d be able to dodge all of its attacks with ease.


    Christina let out a small smile as she kept testing the new sword against the ck zombie. She was extremely satisfied with how light in addition to how well it could cut through the ck zombie''s limbs. Still, the ck zombie''s regeneration was still absurdly high. Each limb she had hacked, a new one appeared in just seconds.


    She recalled Jennie''s warning not to linger. Hence, Christina released her spiritual energy, passed it onto the sword, and lit it up with bright yellowish-red mes.


    She kept on dodging using the footwork she had learned from the sword art manual she had bought. Christina dodged the ck zombie''s attack on the ground where she stood and ran up to it. She jumped, making a reverse-somersault, and shed the ck zombie''s head in half!


    Spattt!!!


    The giant monster fell to the ground, motionless.


    After Christinanded, she gave a moment to look at the ck zombie''s head, and luckily, she found a yellow spirit stone. Christina picked it up and stored it.


    "Good sh!" eximed Jennie.


    "How is he?" Christina nced at the man in the suit who was already unconscious ..


    Jennie walks over and feels his pulse.She then shook her head and said, "He''s dead..."


    Christina sighed.


    Jennie said with an unpleasant face, "You shouldn''t feel guilty about this greedy man. Even in hisst breath, he only thought about his wealth."


    Jennie grabbed the suitcase from Li Song Ki''s corpse, threw it to a wall. "All the money in this world is worthless! Stupid man!"


    The suitcase sprang open and its content spilled out. Without bothering to look at it, Jennie said, "Come on, let''s leave this ce."


    Christina spared a nce at the suitcase and pointed at it. "That''s..."


    As it turned out, Li Song Ki''s suitcase wasn''t only filled with several diamonds but also a lot of spirit stones.


    "Of no value?" Christina remarked.


    Indeed Li Song Ki was a man with business acumen. He was able to see the value of these spirit stones from the beginning, so he had ordered his men to collect spirit stones. The number of spirit stones on the ground seemed to have filled the suitcase to the brim. Without saying much, Jennie gathered them, ced them back into the suitcase into the storage ring.


    Why Li Song Ki and Colonel Chan were here though was still a mystery. From the information the Firebirds had gathered, Li Song Ki and Colonel Chan sailed to the direction of Macau, west side of Hong Kong Ind. Moreover, where was the ship?


    Fortunately, there were still some soldiers outside who should be able to answer this question. Right now, they had to leave before this ce turned into a zombie yground.


    Christina rushed outside and the 25 Firebird members were still fighting fiercely. They had defeated the three ck zombies but hundreds of zombies slowly pressured them and thousands were still on the way from the Kowloon Park. At least a dozen more ck zombies silhouettes could be seen in the crowd.


    "Retreat!" eximed Christina.


    There only dozens of Hong Kong army troops left and half of them were seriously injured. The one injured were assisted to run.


    "Let''s go! Move!" Maxine opened a path in front while Christina and Jennie guarded the back row.


    "Watch out!!!"


    As they ran while supporting those who were injured, the roofs of the two buildings nearby came hundreds more zombies.


    "!!!"


    Christina utilized her energy to her legs and sword before leaping to face the falling zombies.


    SSSWWIIISSHH! SPLLLAATT! SPLAAT!


    Christina made graceful movements in the air as she spun with her ming sword eliminating tens of zombies with each sh. It was beautiful. She truly was like a fierce firebird.


    "Hurry! The boat isn''t far away!"


    They neared the port but unfortunately, hundreds of other zombies had also made their way there.


    "Aaaa. We''re surrounded!"


    Two buildings on the side, while there were two hordes of zombies in front and their back. They were surrounded. They could go inside multi-story buildings and hop as they did before to find a different way to the pier, but they wouldn''t be able to do that while carrying the injured people.


    Maxine said, "They left us to save themselves! Let''s do the same thing to these bastards!"


    Christina agreed what they did was despicable, however, she wasn''t like them. She eximed, "Get into formation! Close ranks! Fight in groups and look out for each other!"


    Sattt !!! Swisshh !! Pa pa!


    All 25 Firebirds members were earth realm fighters. The red zombies were no longer a threat to them, especially ordinary zombies. And with their efficient coordination, they were able to survive.


    2 minutes... 5 minutes... 10. minutes...


    Facing hundreds to thousands of zombies were still too much for just 25 people. Slowly, they were receiving injuries because of the exhaustion.


    "We can''t stay here. We are not nning to wait for the whole millions of Hong Kong zombies toe here right" Maxine said, wiping her sweaty face.


    "Maxine,e with me. We''ll open a path together," said Christina.


    "Okay, sis!"


    Maxine gathered her strength and waved her clubs with the power of earth realm level 4. Several zombies flew away and finally, a gap opened. Christina rushed at the opening with her ming sword.


    Swisshhh swissshh


    "Now! Follow m—"


    ROOAARR!!!


    "!!!"


    Two ck zombies appeared from the top of the buildings and knocked her back to the wall.


    BAAMMMM!!!


    Christina crashed to the wall, coughing fresh blood.


    ROAAARRRR


    Three more ck zombies appeared from the direction of the Kowloon Park.


    "[emailprotected]</a>#! Damn it!!! Since when did ck zombies be this many!" Maxine stomped the ground.


    After saying that, the nearest ck zombie also managed to hit more one firebird member and injure her terribly.


    "Damn it!" Maxine screamed as she rushed nearest the ck zombie.


    A loud scream from a nearby garden, however, stopped her tracks.


    "Hhhhoooaaaaaa!!!!!"


    "!!!"


    Dozens of fighters appeared from the other side of the buildings. All highly trained fighters. Most of them had tattoos either on their arms, torso, and faces. The leading man, however, was the most eye-catching because of the fierce dragon tattoo on his back.


    "Reinforcements!" shouted Maxine.


    They were Nam''s Hong Kong Triad brethren. Nearly a hundred people flooded into Kowloon Park.
