Volume 7: The Truth of the World Chapter 14: Changes of Zombies
The Dutian Fiery Immortal Formation is the Taoist priest’s unique skill, inherited from Fu Chen.
It was so powerful that it trapped the ape-man in one move. A transparent barrier rose from the formation. The ape-man stood up again and wanted to break the barrier. He punched it a few times, but the barrier just shook. It did not break instantly like the air force field that Shen Jin had used before. The purple lotus floating in the sky was spewing light, "whoosh--"
Purple flames shot out from the edge of the transparent barrier, covering the ape-man's body, and in an instant he turned into a purple ape-man!
It seemed as if Shang Qian was about to activate his spatial ability, but the ape man's shrill scream indicated that this was not the case. The blood-red light on his body flashed violently again, forcing the flame out of his body, and the dense white hair on his body was burned black.
Shen Jin was surprised when he saw this: "Is this formation so powerful? Wow! It has directly trapped a fourth-level transcendent!"
"The formation flags complete this poor Taoist's formation and can exert a power far beyond my own!"
The formation is stronger than the people!
Hu Shou was looking at the people in front of him and was shocked beyond words. Although the fourth-level transcendent in front of him was at the end of his strength and his strength had decreased a lot, he still had 30% to 40% of his strength. It was really unbelievable that he was subdued by several third-level transcendents. He had seen cross-level battles, but that was a one-level vs. a two-level, or a two-level vs. a three-level, and no one had ever won because the difference in realm was too great. A sixth sense could resist all calculations, and from the third to the fourth level... the gap was even greater. The fourth level was powerful enough to use some of the power of rules, and the energy in the body was as vast as the sea, not to mention the terrifying awakening talent. If he used it, he could instantly kill a group of third-level transcendents .
Now, several people tried their best, but were finally directly controlled by the man called Taoist priest.
They are a little too strong. Are these people still third-level transcendents?
Hu Shou's eyes suddenly focused on the Taoist priest's whisk: "This weapon... the energy contained in it is so strong!"
So strong that it gave him palpitations!
The Taoist priest used all his strength to control the formation. The ape-man inside was already showing signs of fatigue and had been severely injured. Seeing that his life was burning to the end, the battle inside had reached its final stage. Sun Can entered the formation again to help the Taoist priest control the ape-man. Shen Jin answered for the Taoist priest kindly: "The Taoist priest's whisk is a relic left by an ancient extraordinary person. It is an authentic ancient extraordinary weapon. There is a set!"
"No wonder……"
After everyone resisted for another minute, the red light on the ape man's body went out, and the whole person instantly went limp and completely unconscious. The white hair on his body shrank back a little. Several people checked and found that he had completely lost his threat. The Taoist priest took back the 12 formation flags with a pale face, and then performed his unique skills to regulate his breathing and recover. Shen Jin gave the Taoist priest a magic bean he had just rubbed out to help him recover.
Hu Shou was in much better condition now, at least he could move freely. During this time, Shen Jin took out the [Quantum Ramboton Crystal Backpack] from his backpack and charged Hu Shou's armor with 1 million kWh of electricity, so that it could be used normally again. Everyone gathered around the ape man and observed him. Shen Jin looked at the ape man's half-dead appearance and shook his head: "He probably won't survive the explosion in exchange for overdrawing his life...right, Zhu Dan?"
When it comes to burning life, you still have to look at Zhu Dan. This thing is not something that can be burned just by saying it. There is a threshold!
The only thing a superhuman can control is his body, which will be useless without energy. However, Zhu Dan can overdraw his life. This involves the power of cause and effect. Using the power of the future to do things in the present is extremely terrifying!
Although Zhu Dan gradually recovered his realm through the potion given by Shen Jin and returned to the peak, Zhu Dan himself knew that... his life span had been shortened by several decades. He would live 40 years less than a third-level extraordinary person of the same level. This loss could only be made up when he reached the fourth level...
Hu Shou looked at the ape man and said, "He won't die. After all, he is a fourth-level ape with strong vitality. Even if he burns hundreds of years of his life, he still has hundreds of years to live. But in his current state, he should not be able to resist for a long time. It's a good opportunity for me to take him back and study him carefully!"
Sun Can frowned and asked, "Is he a superpower?"
"That's right. He has a transformation ability that goes well with the beast taming skills of the Crocodile Country. He is also the most talented fighter in the Crocodile Country. We have even carried out joint operations together at the border before. What a pity..."
Hu Shou felt uncomfortable as his former human companion had now become something that looked like neither human nor animal. It was like watching his friend turn into a zombie.
Li Moxuan came over and said, "Is it possible for him to recover his human appearance? Looking at his face, he is still a bearded crocodile. I feel like he should still have his own consciousness, right?"
"I hope so. Take him back to see..."
Shen Jin clasped his fists towards Hu Shouyi and said, "Commander Hu, please tell me the results of the research. This is related to our future!"
Recently, he and Sun Can have made rapid progress, and they have already sensed something. If nothing unexpected happens, that hurdle will soon be reached...
Hu Shou mentioned the ape man: "Don't worry, if there is a conclusion, I will not only inform you immediately, but also tell all the third-level extraordinary people in the world. This is related to the future of our human race..."
If multiple fourth-level extraordinary people go crazy on Earth, Hu Shou may not be able to handle it, especially now that the zombie cleanup has reached a critical juncture. Many tough guys are waiting for the fourth-level Hu Shou to take action. If all energy is focused on chasing mutated fourth-level extraordinary people around the world, China's progress in clearing zombies will slowed down again. And the most important thing is... Hu Shou may not win every time.
"I'm leaving! See you later!"
Hu Shou carried the ape man, and a stream of air from the gravity armor appeared behind him. Shen Jin grabbed his arm and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Return to the headquarters base!"
"Is it okay not to go back to the base?"
"Not going back? You'll take me with you?"
Shen Jin showed his [Spatial Locator]: "Ah, I'll take you there!"
Hu Shou: (°ー°〃)
He forgot that Shen Jin had a location at the Tianluodiwang headquarters and could be teleported there at any time. Being a good person to the end, Shen Jin pulled Hu Shou and the ape man and flew directly to the sky above the Tianluodiwang headquarters. White light flashed. Looking at Shen Jin who was leaving, Hu Shou felt a warm current flowing through his heart...
"Oh, it's nice to have such a friend!"
The plot of a hero saving a beauty doesn't just work on women.
…
Shen Jin and his companions returned to City B. What happened just now was just a small episode, but it was of great help to everyone. At least they all witnessed the strength of a fourth-order extraordinary person. Even a fourth-order extraordinary person who was at the end of his strength could tear apart the defense set up by Shen Jin in an instant. The joint attack of Zhu Dan and Li Moxuan could only block his progress. Only Sun Can, who exerted his full strength and used his strongest power, could barely fight him. But Sun Can could not sustain such an attack for long. In the end, it was the Taoist priest's formation that amazed everyone!
The third-level advanced one, relying on 12 formation flags, trapped the fourth-level extraordinary person for a full minute!
It is really too powerful. Apart from the fact that it takes a certain amount of time to set up, it is arguably the strongest among them all!
Given how powerful the formation is, Shen Jin wouldn't be able to say anything even if he went in... Well, he would definitely be able to get out, as he had quite a few unique skills, and happened to have the ability to restrain the formation.
It's just that they have never been used. Some superpowers may not seem strong, but if used as an auxiliary skill, they can often have a decisive effect at the critical moment.
"Okay, let's rest for half an hour and then continue leveling. The energy of many level 3 zombies here is even stronger than that of the level 4 transcendents just now. They are quite oppressive!"
After some rest, everyone began to clear out the zombies in City B. The large group dealt with large-scale zombies, and they dealt with elite zombie bosses. The division of labor was very reasonable.
The day passed, and at night...
Shen Jin and the others discovered something strange. "Huh? Where did those big zombies go? How come we went to several locations given by the dragnet and still couldn't find them?"
They only killed some ordinary zombies today and didn't find any zombies marked as "extremely dangerous". This is unscientific!
Sun Can took the map from Shen Jin again: "We didn't go to the wrong place. Could it be that their markings are wrong? Or have the zombies moved?"
Shen Jin looked confused. "It shouldn't be... The markings have been very accurate. Besides, no one in China can kill these big guys except us. Even if they move, they won't run too far, right? I heard from the zombie observation team of Tianluodiwang that these huge zombies have their own territorial awareness. We didn't find any of the three locations we looked at this afternoon. It's weird, very weird!"
Sun Li tore open a can of steaming stewed pancake and ate it with a spoon while saying, "Boss, it's not just the big zombies that are wrong. The number of other small zombies has also decreased today, and their strength is very weak. Our speed of advancement today is three times faster than usual, which is also abnormal. It seems that... the zombies have migrated. Where did they go?"
Zhu Dan said puzzledly, "Really? No wonder... I thought there shouldn't be so few zombies in City B. Something must be wrong. Let's use the satellite at the base to see if there is a large wave of zombies attacking the surrounding cities!"
City B is adjacent to Province H. If any problems arise, the civilian supernatural beings who are clearing out small groups of zombies throughout Province H will be the first to be affected. Their strength may be enough to deal with small zombies that are alone, but if a tide of zombies attacks them, there will be large numbers of casualties in an instant!
"Well, let them see!"
Shen Jin called the No. 1 Home Satellite Observation Group and asked them to retrieve the movement tracks of the zombies in City B over the past few days.
Half an hour later, a movement trajectory map and an analysis report were sent to Shen Jin's quantum helmet. After reading it, Shen Jin's face became solemn, "It's bad... The zombies in City B really gathered, just yesterday! They are moving to the southeast."
"So, those big zombies are also there... That's not right! These zombies are so powerful, what level of Z zombie can drive them?"
The reason why there hasn't been a zombie tide in City B for such a long time is that, like raising Gu, a large number of powerful zombie mutants have appeared here. Those Z zombies with normal development can't command them at all, and they will also anger these big zombies, who will eat the Z zombies directly in one bite. They are high in protein and crunchy!
Over time, these Z zombies could no longer cause any trouble, and City B has become what it is now. Although there are many powerful zombies, they have not moved to surrounding cities. They are like a mine that has not exploded, and they can be dealt with slowly later. Shen Jin and his team are weakening the zombies in City B layer by layer, and now they have cleared out nearly half of them, about 10 million.
There are still 10 million left. If nothing unexpected happens, the two should be able to do almost everything before they are promoted to the fourth level. Now these 10 million zombies are all gathered in the southeast of City B. Sun Can said hurriedly: "After such a long time, will a powerful Z zombie appear? But...to drive 10 million zombies, including those big guys, one must be very strong..."
At this point, everyone's face changed, and they instantly thought of something very scary!
"Level 4...Level 4 Z zombie!"
"hiss--"
Everyone gasped. The temperature in City B, which had been suitable, suddenly dropped.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. "Damn it! We just killed a fourth-level extraordinary person, and now there is another fourth-level zombie!?"
The Taoist priest was neither arrogant nor impatient. He flicked his whisk and flew into the air. "The truth will be known after you take a look!"
Shen Jin also nodded: "We have to go and take a look. Let's be careful. Take these [Space Locators]. I have stored some commonly used locations in them, including the No. 1 Home Base, the Skynet Headquarters, the Crocodile Country Safe House, the US Country Safe House..."
Dragnet, Black Bear Organization, Hydra Organization: ???
Are you polite?
Shen Jin has established retreat locations not only in China, but also in many places around the world. Theoretically, he is now quite stable...
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all took the small device that looked like a sports bracelet and put it on their wrists. Shen Jin thought for a moment, then took out four sets of quantum armor and gave them to them, "Everyone, put this on!"
Li Moxuan took it with surprise. Last time at Shenji, she wanted the same armor as Shen Jin. She didn't get it at that time due to production problems. Now she put it on happily and took a few selfies.
"Thank you Shen Jingiegie~! I have no way to repay such a great kindness, I can only..."
Shen Jin: "Will you be a slave in your next life?"
Li Moxuan: “???”
It was too enthusiastic and Shen Jin really couldn't handle it.
"Ahem! Let's go once everyone is equipped!"
Everyone knew that Shen Jin's family was now wealthy and powerful, and that the various generators spread throughout the base of Home No. 1 also proved the current output, so they did not refuse. This kind of armor would be of great help to them, the third-level transcendents.
Shen Jin secretly felt pained: "That's good now. All the stock is gone. I'll go back and make a few more sets and put them in my backpack..."
These are all quantum armors. Later, I will need to upgrade the chest armor to [Gravity Chest Armor] to make it complete.
After they adjusted themselves a little, they flew to the southeast of City B. They flew very high to avoid being seen by zombies. The thought of a zombie tide of 10 million made their scalps numb. "With this level of zombie tide, all the previous tactics may not work!"
Shen Jin always has a bad feeling...
