Chapter 185: There Seems to Be Deception
Glancing at Gu Quan who was eager to join in, Zhang Mu called out, “Brother Gu, why aren’t you coming with us?”
Gu Quan looked at Zhang Mu with a strange expression, as if he were looking at a fool, and said, “Zhang Mu, are you joking? As Beast Tamers, we send our mutated beasts directly. We don’t have close combat abilities like you. You don’t want to go solo, do you? Don’t get ahead of yourself, we are different from them.”
It then occurred to Zhang Mu that he seemed to be displaying the ability to tame as a first-rank evolver, which is why Gu Quan didn’t move. He almost blew his cover.
“Doesn’t it look safe here? So, Brother Gu, can you help me look after my friend? She won’t go up by herself. Let her beetle go up, but I want to play for a while, just play on the outskirts, it’s okay.”
After saying that, Zhang Mu quickly joined the evolver team attacking freely, whispering to Yuan Rui.
Zhang Mu gradually moved away with two mutant beasts, leaving Gu Quan stunned. He asked Yuan Rui, “Miss Yuan Rui, is Zhang Mu always so fierce? He’s usually playful, but this level of battlefield behavior is not sensible at all. I thought Zhang Mu was very steady. Miss Yuan Rui, why don’t you advise him?”
Unexpectedly, Yuan Rui said something that made Gu Quan turn his head disheartened.
“He has always been like this, I can’t control him. It’s no big deal, they are just some small zombies.”
Yes, a few first-rank zombies are nothing to fear, but now on the outskirts of Jin Zhong City, it’s not just a few simple first-rank zombies, it’s zombies in the six digits.
Gu Quan had never seen six-digit humans gathered together in his life. The sea of people ahead scared him completely, and he felt sorry for his beloved general, silently instructing to just display abilities outside and not enter the city. He already felt guilty for not letting the general escape earlier.
Zhang Mu is really too powerful. He actually directly engages in combat like those evolvers. But when he encounters real danger, he will try to control his hot-bloodedness.
Gu Quan sees Zhang Mu as a hot-blooded youth, deeply influenced by emotions. When Zhang Mu gets close, he will come back by himself. Although it might not look good if he is seen at that time, survival is most important. Gu Quan firmly believes that Zhang Mu will come back soon, so he stops worrying about him and focuses on communicating with the general.
Zhang Mu, whom Gu Quan imagined as a passionate young man, was now blending in with the crowd, observing with a cold gaze.
Indeed, although progressing slowly, the passionate hearts of the people around were gradually cooling down as they could see the terrifying faces of the zombies. The psychological pressure was immense, but due to the presence of many people around, they forced down their fear.
Up to now, the zombie horde, like ten thousand ordinary evolvers, still seemed not to have noticed the attack. They just stared straight ahead, suppressing the bloodthirsty gleam in their eyes and the most primal instincts in their bodies.
A sense of unease suddenly flashed through Zhang Mu’s mind. What exactly was this intelligent zombie leader waiting for? And they were curled up so tightly, as if they were compressing something.
A grand siege had already begun, but the opponents were not reacting at all, making it seem like they were just a group of flesh sculptures.
When the humans approached within five hundred meters, the zombie horde finally moved, but it was too late. They were already within the attack range of human evolvers.
Countless energy attacks rained down on the front lines of the zombie horde, instantly crushing hundreds of seemingly fragile zombies as if they were a harvested crop.
However, before the evolvers could feel the joy of a successful initial attack, the sharp-eyed evolvers in the frontline already felt the urge to halt, but the vast army behind them wouldn’t give them a chance to stop.
In this situation, stopping would only lead to being trampled into mush by their own people.
At this moment, Zhang Mu, standing on the back of the mutated wolfhound, finally saw the true identity of the zombie horde.
Seeing this made him stop in his tracks because he was not part of the ordinary evolver crowd of ten thousand, and he was on the outskirts. He managed to stop a few evolvers who couldn’t brake in time.
Because the truth was simply too terrifying.
The shrinking zombie horde revealed a shocking sight – nearly a thousand mutated beasts!
Caught off guard!
At that moment, the vanguard troops had already reached the edge of the zombie horde. A sonic evolver among them shouted at the top of their lungs.
“Quick, retreat!”
But it was too late, as the most dreadful thing happened.
The zombie horde surged forward against the attack, and the hidden mutated beasts seemed to have gathered all their power, unleashing even more explosive energy into the crowd than before.
Fireballs, wind blades, earth spikes… a series of elemental abilities exploded dazzlingly in both camps, cries of pain echoing through the sky. Everyone was mixed up in the fighting together.
Regular evolvers couldn’t retreat, evolvers dared not retreat, humans and mutant beasts everywhere were seen fighting against each other.
Zhang Mu, seeing the situation, promptly made Obsidian Beetle shrink in size, riding the mutated wolfhound as he changed direction and charged towards the west.
He knew the precise reason, so there was no need to start from the heavily defended East City.
The battlefield was too chaotic, nobody noticed Zhang Mu changing direction, now all he could do was to save as many people as possible.
With an Obsidian dagger and the swift speed of the mutated wolfhound, he carved a bloody path.
