Chapter 431: Under the Nest
Zhang Mu stared into his eyes, not saying anything, as he too was searching for answers.
“But we must give it a try.”
Zhang Mu couldn’t think of a better way to respond, suddenly spoke, not very confidently.
“However, you still have your little brother, you still have the Grey Wolf Rider, aren’t they worth fighting for?”
Under the scorching flames of the physical soul, Su Rui’s body became more and more ethereal.
He smiled.
“Maybe.
Actually, I don’t know how to face my Grey Wolf Rider, how to face my soldiers.
As for Su Liang, I feel even more sorry for him.
He was one of the conditions that the other side mentioned for exchange, and Su Liang had already been taken away by those people.
However, when they proposed this condition for the exchange, I thought that he might also be turned into a corpse puppet, so after some hesitation, I agreed.
For him, this way he can keep living without worrying about death and pain, it should be better for him.
Upon hearing Su Rui’s words, Zhang Mu’s brow suddenly furrowed, a bit puzzled.
Su Liang? What does Grave Blood want Su Liang to do?
Last time in Ordos City, other than his brother Su Rui’s arrogance, there was nothing special about him that caught their attention. How could they be interested in him?
“Good luck to you, I…”
Before finishing his sentence, Su Rui’s body was completely incinerated, leaving nothing behind, not even ashes.
Yuan Rui’s soul flame was so powerful that it completely destroyed Su Rui, whose body had already decayed.
Zhang Mu shook his head slightly, even though they were enemies, he found some sense in Su Rui’s thoughts.
Su Rui was a pitiful and miserable person.
After Su Rui disappeared, Yuan Rui fell weakly to the ground. Zhang Mu realized that the mental attack had been too much for her to bear, draining her energy once again.
“What’s wrong with you? What should I do with this dagger? Does it hurt?”
Seeing Zhang Mu alive in front of her again, Yuan Rui was extremely emotional. She saw the dagger piercing his heart and tears welled up in her eyes.
“I’m fine, I have a strong life force, much stronger than that bug Little Black. Look, I’m here bouncing back in front of you.”
Zhang Mu’s words triggered Yuan Rui’s tears that she had held back.
“Please don’t leave, don’t leave me, I’m scared…”
Listening to the sobbing, Zhang Mu gently patted the girl in his arms and tried to comfort her in a soft and soothing tone.
“I won’t leave, I won’t leave you all alone.”
After a quiet moment, a sudden cough behind Zhang Mu startled the embracing couple.
“My brother Zhang Mu, I’m not blind, but with the city in such a dangerous situation, we must hurry back immediately.”
Qizilbash spoke up, the poisonous air dissipated, and the second rank evolvers, now able to move again, helped each other up, already having watched over Zhang Mu and the others for two minutes.
“Since this has happened, there’s no need for any more testing. Over thirty of us will stick together and protect the city.”
Qizilbash helped the just-awakened Hachikuju, confused after being pushed by Su Rui and eagerly asking Qizilbash what was happening.
Uncle Peng touched his dizzy forehead and spoke with a serious expression, “You may not realize the severity of the two million zombie horde surrounding the city. The fifty thousand zombie horde was the largest scale we’ve faced, even with the combined strength of the eight cities at that time. All the evolvers who joined us in battle then should know.”
Many experienced evolvers nodded, remembering the challenging battle against the fifty thousand zombie sea that defended the final two cities. It was a tough fight, only made possible by the unique ability of the leader of the wolf riders to resonate with the cavalry.
With such a large number, even the strongest individual abilities can no longer be effective.
“And the situation of two million and five hundred thousand is completely different, it’s not just a simple matter of quadrupling the quantity, the ability to control their core zombies must be very strong.”
As Uncle Peng was analyzing, a voice of doubt came from beside him, it was He Shan’s.
“Uncle Peng, but now we are different from our past selves, humans have also undergone tremendous changes. At that time, a first-rank peak was considered an absolute powerhouse, and there was only one second-rank evolver, the leader Zhang Yi.”
Now, if we combine the strength of the eight cities, there are at least three hundred second-rank evolvers, and the number of first-rank peak evolvers is countless.
“You are too pessimistic. I believe that as long as we defend the city and return in time, we will definitely be able to survive this difficulty by relying on the city.”
“I don’t know if you noticed Su Rui’s words. He said that special types of zombies have evolved in this zombie horde, types of zombies we have never encountered before.”
Uncle Peng looked meaningfully at He Shan and said, “We are progressing, evolving, and so are the zombies.”
Zhang Mu took over from Uncle Peng and continued, “And we don’t know how many people have been infiltrated in the eight cities. If it’s just ordinary second-rank evolvers, it’s not a big deal, but here we are infiltrated by two Sub City Lords.”
Everyone, can you make sure that there are no traitors in the Sub City Lord in Hohhot City?
One, two, or more?
We are fighting a war without knowing who the real enemy is, while they know everything about us. They might be hiding among us, slowly weakening us, and then turning against us with a deadly blow when the time comes.
It’s very likely that when the zombie horde breaches our city defenses, we will have to abandon the city and continue wandering.
This time, our opponents’ plans are flawless. They haven’t given us any chance to prepare.”
Zhang Mu looked at everyone present, and they all fell silent.
What he said isn’t an exaggeration. Even Su Rui has been turned. And the leaders of the allied cities close to Su Rui, aside from the already deceased Huang Yan, might be more than one.
“In that case, why not… leave on our own.”
With our strength, we can go anywhere. There are too many civilians, and if it comes to abandoning the city, they would only be a burden. Not participating in battle now will help us preserve our strength.
According to your analysis, there is no chance of winning just with us. Are we just going to die for nothing?
A voice that was not timely came from the crowd, but no one argued with him, because he was only saying what many people wanted to say but dare not.
Facing external troubles and internal problems, not knowing who the opponent is, what’s the point of fighting?
When this idea was bluntly spoken out, the atmosphere of the whole scene suddenly solidified.
Zhang Mu looked at the person, said a few words lightly, and then stopped speaking, letting the crowd decide for themselves.
“When the nest is turned upside down, how can there be a complete egg left?”
