Chapter 442: It’s Not My Responsibility
The special crawling zombies, with the protection of the outer zombies, silently corroded a big hole in the metal gate. With the cooperation of a dozen such creatures, it caught everyone by surprise – the soldiers on the city wall, the civilians inside eagerly watching, nobody expected that, just a moment ago they were receiving good news, and now the zombies were rushing into the city.
But the cruel reality didn’t give them time to react. Though their bodies were burning with gasoline, their physical functions were not completely destroyed yet. In an instant, they swallowed up the people who were close by.
For a while, near the city wall, there were cries of torn lungs everywhere. Not only were the zombies attacking, but as people fell, the flames on the zombies’ bodies also engulfed those trying to escape.
Among the onlookers were some evolvers, trying to organize an effective defense. Unfortunately, the panicked crowd didn’t give them a chance. The only option was to run. If they stayed and resisted, they risked being killed by the zombies or trampled by the crowd.
At this moment, the four mounted warriors on the city wall ran down the steps, while Zhang Mu leaped directly off the wall. However, where he and the others were going was different. They were defending against the influx of zombies into the city.
Zhang Mu, on the other hand, was searching for the zombie king hidden within the sea of zombies.
Flying in the air on Obsidian Beetle, Zhang Mu crouched on its back plate, carefully observing the sparse zombies beneath him. He had thought about this before, but the chances of finding one were slim. The coverage area of this zombie sea was just too vast, and locating a cunning zombie king was not easy at all.
But the situation was different now, with a large number of zombies pouring into the city. Zhang Mu was sure that, cautious as the zombie king was, it would never enter the city along with the zombie horde. It valued its own life more than anything and wouldn’t risk it.
In the actions of those zombie kings in the future, Zhang Mu concluded that in their hearts, no matter how many zombies there were, they were just servants and would not feel sorry for them.
Inside the city, the four fighting knights were leading the people in fighting and retreating. Luckily, the city gates were not big, and the zombie horde was entering in batches. They managed to fend off the first wave of attacks, but defending in place was definitely impossible. The fire had spread to the surrounding buildings, so staying here would only cost them their lives.
At this moment, regretting why they had poured so much gasoline was useless. The water-type evolvers tried several times but were powerless. They could only retreat first. Now, the zombies were carrying the source of the fire.
If they didn’t eliminate these zombies, they wouldn’t be able to control the fire, so they had to create some distance first.
After searching for a while, Zhang Mu finally found two suspicious targets.
The two zombie hordes here didn’t react even when the city gates were breached. None of them had any sparks on them, obviously they hadn’t participated in the siege just now.
These two targets were quite cunning.
Facing the zombie king, one of Zhang Mu’s abilities had become completely useless, that was his mental power.
Challenging the zombie king with mental power was just a dream. All formed zombie kings were formidable in terms of mental power, especially this one who managed to control a million zombie horde, it was truly frightening.
Zhang Mu felt that if he was really attacked by it using mental power, it would be extremely difficult for him to protect his mind. His mental shield could only defense his own body, unable to extend further.
But fighting the zombie king with mental power had one advantage – it could no longer control the zombie horde. Without the zombie king’s control, the power of the zombie sea would be greatly diminished, giving Hachikuju and the others a chance to catch their breath.
These are all the experiences gained at the cost of the bloody lessons of our predecessors from future generations!
The only strange thing is that below the third rank, a zombie king has emerged that can control a zombie sea of millions. Zhang Mu has never heard of such a thing in future generations, it’s truly unbelievable.
Which piece is it after all?
Zhang Mu had no choice but to quickly deal with the zombie king. He had to use a simple trick, exposing himself to the zombie king’s view.
So, he ordered the Obsidian Beetle to descend in height and arrogantly used his mental power to scan the zombie horde separated from the battlefield below.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he scanned the first one, the mental power he sent out was violently bounced back.
It turns out it was hiding in this pile!
Zhang Mu felt happy, he had found it – now it was time to play with it!
Boom!
Sure enough, in the next moment after Zhang Mu withdrew his mental power, a powerful spiritual shock wave locked onto Zhang Mu’s position, catching even the fast-moving Obsidian Beetle off guard.
Zhang Mu got hit!
But the prepared Zhang Mu showed a little smirk, his mental shield protecting his mind. The spiritual wave not only didn’t harm him, but helped Zhang Mu locate the zombie king accurately.
The mental shield, now only protecting his mind, was incredibly strong in defense. It could withstand the spiritual attacks of the zombie king controlling the vast horde of zombies. The attack hit the surface of the small mental shield and was completely absorbed.
There it is!
Zhang Mu looked at a seemingly inconspicuous corner of the zombie horde, his eyes gleaming coldly.
Swish!
The Obsidian Beetle sped up and slammed into the zombie horde on the ground with a loud crash.
Following Zhang Mu’s orders, when the Obsidian Beetle descended quickly, the Blood Lotus wrapped around Zhang Mu’s left arm multiplied instantly. The main body of the Blood Lotus split into thick vines, sweeping away all the zombies in front of Zhang Mu and heading straight for the position he had seen earlier.
That’s right!
After realizing Zhang Mu’s intention, the zombies around him started to go crazy. Once they were sent flying by the vines of the Blood Lotus, they quickly got up and rushed towards Zhang Mu’s position.
I see it!
A small, weak zombie was desperately trying to hide in the pile of zombies to conceal its size.
“Trying to run away? It’s not that easy!”
Just as Zhang Mu finished speaking, a stronger mental wave than before rushed towards his head.
The zombie king stopped hiding, showing its sharp teeth and making biting motions towards Zhang Mu.
The Zombie King and Zhang Mu’s spirits clashed outside of Zhang Mu’s body, both giving their all, causing their bodies to stiffen at the same time.
Zhang Mu couldn’t move forward, and the Zombie King couldn’t control the zombies around him anymore.
However, even without the control of the Zombie King, the zombie horde, instinctively craving humans, began to roar towards Zhang Mu.
Seeing the almost human-like mockery on the Zombie King’s face, Zhang Mu managed a slight smile and said slowly,
“Sorry, but does this Blood Lotus of mine not belong to me either?”
