Chapter 1028: Doomsday Big Boss 32

“Are you afraid of them?” Zhou Tao asked coldly, his gaze fixed on Li Feng.

Li Feng quickly shook his head. “No, boss. I’m thinking about the team. Hu Tongxia is already this strong—what if there are even stronger people with him? Wouldn’t we just be throwing our lives away? And it’s getting dark. If we start fighting now, the noise will attract more zombies. That won’t be good for any of us.”

In the apocalypse, survival was already difficult. For people like them who had awakened abilities, preserving their lives should be the priority—not picking fights out of pride.

But Zhou Tao had just been humiliated by Hu Tongxia. Right now, all he wanted was to get his dignity back. No matter how reasonable Li Feng’s words were, he couldn’t hear them.

“Losing face like this and then running away like a dog?” Zhou Tao snapped. “If I do that, how am I supposed to lead my men in the future?”

Li Feng’s expression tightened. Anxiety flashed across his face—and beneath it, a trace of dissatisfaction.

He acknowledged Zhou Tao’s strength, which was why he had accepted him as their leader. But that didn’t mean he could tolerate reckless decisions driven purely by ego.

At that moment, Hu Tongxia curled his fingers toward Zhou Tao in blatant provocation. “Come on, then,” he said lazily. “Let’s see if I won’t beat you until you kneel down and call me Dad.”

Little Cutie: …

Unbelievable.

This villain really wanted to collect another “son.”

Zhou Tao’s face twisted with rage. “You think you’re impressive?” he growled. “Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out a handgun from his waist.

But before he could even raise it, Hu Tongxia let out a disdainful laugh. “Go ahead. Fire if you can.”

The confidence in his tone was absolute.

For a brief moment, Zhou Tao felt a flicker of unease.

Then—

His heart suddenly clenched.

It felt as though something sharp had stabbed straight into his chest.

His eyes flew wide open in shock. The gun slipped from his hand and hit the ground with a dull thud.

“You… you…” he tried to speak, but no words came out.

The next second, his body collapsed heavily onto the ground.

The sound of him falling snapped Li Feng and the others out of their daze.

Everyone stared at Hu Tongxia in disbelief.

Especially his own teammates—they had never realized just how terrifying he truly was.

In their eyes, Hu Tongxia had always been strong… but not to this extent.

Meanwhile, Hu Tongxia himself stood there calmly, as if nothing had happened.

But inwardly, he was just as surprised.

He hadn’t been completely certain that he could freeze Zhou Tao’s heart just now.

His ability was too strange—even he didn’t fully understand it yet.

But at the moment Zhou Tao attacked, something clicked. Instinctively, he grasped a new way to use his power.

And the result proved it.

His ability could silently infiltrate an opponent’s body… and directly affect their internal organs.
