Chapter 446: Third-Rank Stronger
But is the zombie sea really in such chaos? Hachikuju and others in Ordos City could clearly perceive this. Thinking of Zhang Mu’s actions just now, and the Obsidian Beetle taking Yuan Rui away, Hachikuju immediately realized that Zhang Mu was causing trouble to the zombie kings.
And it seems like his brother, Zhang Mu, has succeeded.
“Well done!”
Hachikuju couldn’t help but praise in her heart, then called on the warriors around her to counterattack.
Without the zombies, who only knew about killing and eating, being stopped, they would attack each other because they were hindering one another. After Hachikuju organized an effective counterattack, the zombies were actually forced to retreat a bit.
Just now, the number of people who died in the capital city had already reached one hundred thousand, joining the ranks of zombies.
Regular people will indeed turn into zombies after being bitten, but if they are first-rank evolvers, as long as the injuries are not fatal, they won’t be transformed into zombies.
Unexpectedly, nearly ten thousand evolvers died just now, and the number of ordinary people slaughtered by the sixty thousand zombies that rushed into the city has reached ninety thousand.
These people were all close to the city wall, hiding in the shelter of buildings. Inside the capital city, they were not affected much, but almost all the regular people close to the city wall died.
With the addition of a new army of one hundred thousand zombies to the zombie horde, even though tens of thousands of zombies were lost, there doesn’t seem to be a significant gap. However, now that they are fighting separately, it has given Hachikuju and the others a chance to breathe, so now they can gradually push back these zombies.
Without the zombie king controlling the zombie horde, it’s like a group of scattered sand. There is definitely a threat, but as long as it’s managed properly, with minimal cost, they can all be eliminated.
In Hachikuju’s view, eliminating the fifty thousand zombies in front of them is just a matter of time.
“Send a few teams to rescue the wounded on the battlefield, transport all the injured evolvers back to a safe area. As for the bitten regular people, there’s no hope for them. Give them a quick death, or else turning into zombies would be a big trouble.”
Upon hearing Hachikuju’s command, Uncle Peng also looked serious and responded, “I will lead a team to clean up inside the city. There were quite a few who ran in during the chaos, and they haven’t all been intercepted.”
“Great!”
Hachikuju lifted the blood-stained giant axe and frowned, saying, “It’s frustrating, being pushed by a group of zombies halfway from the city gate to the city center. Not being on the grassland, the buildings were so complicatedly built, cavalry couldn’t be of any use.”
The situation inside the city was relatively stable. The four battle riders, along with the remaining ninety thousand evolvers, were slowly pushing back the zombie sea towards the city walls. Mainly because the city was too large, and after gaining freedom, the zombies started to roam around randomly, making it extremely difficult to clear them out.
The humans were forced into alley fights earlier, but the sea of zombies was relentless, constantly advancing without giving Hachikuju and the others a chance to catch their breath.
Without the control of the zombie king now, wherever there are people, zombies would flock there. Currently, no one knows how many have already broken through their disorganized defense lines. Uncle Peng is responsible for deep cleaning with his team, while Hachikuju leads the main army to hold off the fierce attacks of the zombie sea, also trying to save evolvers who are not yet dead.
Outside the city, Zhang Mu looked at the two zombie king corpses he had discarded on the ground, holding their special elemental crystals in his hand, feeling a mix of emotions.
These two elemental crystals were indeed as rumored in later generations, brimming with mental power and shimmering with a faint blue light.
The beauty of this second-rank elemental crystal was in stark contrast to the ugliness of the zombie king. It lay quietly in Zhang Mu’s palm, quietly attracting the gaze of both Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui.
They were both evolvers of the mental type, and for them, elemental crystals of this quality were the most tempting.
Now is not the right time to take it, now the zombie sea has lost its backbone, Hachikuju and the others should find it much easier to deal with.
Just when Zhang Mu wanted to return to the capital city to clean up the zombie sea together, his newly improved spiritual power suddenly sensed something wrong.
He felt like he was being watched by a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness.
Has the person behind been here all along?
Zhang Mu now only knows that he’s being targeted, because the other person’s spiritual power far surpasses his own. He couldn’t fully confirm the zombie king’s words just now, but now he is sure that the person has already reached the third-rank.
The third-rank spiritual evolver, or maybe the Grave Blood, because the awakening ability he first showed was the first spiritual evolver that Zhang Mu saw after his rebirth.
“Is it the Grave Blood? He’s said to be an old friend, why doesn’t he come out and see me once?”
Staring at me all this time makes me uneasy. I think, once I deal with you, you should be more conscious. But if you don’t come out now, it’s not fun, do you really want me to reveal too much?”
Seeing Zhang Mu suddenly question aloud, Yuan Rui noticed that Zhang Mu was holding her hand tighter. She also started scanning around with her spiritual power, but found nothing, because she hadn’t reached the third-rank threshold yet.
And Zhang Mu, has succeeded.
Zhang Mu was tricking him, tricking the person lurking in the shadows.
He guessed right!
Suddenly, a faint laughter came from the air, it was a young voice.
“I didn’t expect you would actually discover my presence, I underestimated you, no wonder the two zombie kings couldn’t do anything to you and instead prepared your wedding dress.”
A grey-clothed person with a hat appeared unnoticed behind Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui.
Zhang Mu looked at the person but couldn’t sense any trace of him.
Is it because of the huge difference in strength?
“It’s a pity, I’m not Grave Blood. He’s a bit busy right now, so he asked me to host you.”
The man in grey walked up to Zhang Mu and stopped three meters away. He took off his hat slowly, revealing a familiar smile.
With bright eyes and white teeth, his sunny face was just like Su Rui’s smile.
“How come it’s you?”
“Su Liang!”
Zhang Mu never expected that the man in front of him, a powerful third-rank psychic with control over two zombie kings and surrounded the two capital cities with a zombie army of two million, would be Su Liang.
Although he seemed more mature and lacked the youthful arrogance, it was clear to Zhang Mu that the person in front of them was Su Liang, Su Rui’s brother.
“Su Liang?”
The grey-clad young man seemed to ponder this question carefully, then slowly raised his head, his eyes extremely pure, like a newborn baby.
“I think I used to be called that name, but I prefer you to call me by another name.”
Su Liang smiled pure as he walked past the zombie’s body, his gray clothes stained with blood and dirt but not affecting his pure smile.
“Call me, Ginseng King.”
