Volume 7: The Truth of the World Chapter 18: First Contact with the Zombie Tyrant
Outside Zhengzhou City, under the cover of night, a huge black torrent was surging from the south, 8 million zombies!
It is only 2 million less than that in City B. Originally, these were two waves of zombies that were led out of Zhengzhou City by the people from the Zhengzhou branch of Tianluodiwang. Only after they were taken away was this branch base preserved. Otherwise, it would have been chased everywhere.
The number of these two waves of zombies is almost the same, around 4 million, led by two Z3 zombies respectively. They do not get along well with each other and there are occasional frictions, but it can be seen that the strength of the Z3 zombies in controlling a 4 million zombie tide has almost reached its peak. Neither side can devour the other's zombies, and they have been fighting each other outside.
Until... the arrival of the zombie tyrant, he immediately integrated the two waves of zombies together, and turned around to control the zombies to attack the Zhengzhou branch base of Tianluodiwang.
There was nothingness in the clouds above the corpse tide, but if you enter the space inside, you will find a different cave. Sun Can, Zhu Dan, the Taoist priest, Sun Li and the other super team are all suspended inside. The Taoist priest's whisk draws out 6 energy filaments, each corresponding to a formation flag, "God Hidden Formation!"
Having learned from the lesson last time, everyone no longer dared to challenge the perception of the fourth-order zombies. The Taoist priest set up a movable formation to wrap everyone up in it so that their figures and sounds could be hidden. If they didn't deliberately get close to observe, even if it was a fourth-order transcendent, the Taoist priest was confident that he could avoid it.
“Ding ding ding~!”
The quantum helmet on Sun Li's head flashed for a moment, a ball of white light appeared around everyone, and Shen Jin was teleported over.
"Huh! We're in the air again. How's it going? Were you not discovered?"
The Taoist priest shook his whisk and said, "Don't worry, if there is any unusual movement, my formation will give you a warning!"
In addition to hiding the body, this formation also has a detection function. It can sense the gaze and murderous intent of the extraordinary people and instantly lock onto the enemies outside. It is very useful.
Shen Jin exclaimed: "The art of formation is profound and extensive. The formation here is much more exquisite than the one circulated by Tianluodiwang. It must be a more powerful inheritance!"
The others also agreed that without the Taoist priest's formation, they would definitely not be able to make a comeback so quickly.
Sun Can scanned the huge zombie tide below and said, "I think it was the Clairvoyance's ability to observe that alarmed the Zombie Tyrant last time, which attracted its attention. If we only use the quantum helmet's vision to observe, without energy fluctuations, it should be difficult for it to find us!"
Zhu Dan just said to himself, "I want an infinitely powerful telescope." Upon hearing this, he canceled his wish-granting ability and said, "Forget it, I'd better not use my ability. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if I get counterattacked again!"
Safety is more important, so everyone can only rely on their eyesight to search for the Zombie Tyrant in the tide of 8 million zombies. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Sun Can and his team arrived a while earlier, but still haven't found the Zombie Tyrant. "Shouldn't this damn thing be big and ugly? It's better to be as eye-catching as a geoduck. Otherwise, it's too much trouble to search for a zombie with unknown characteristics in the middle of the night at an altitude of 10,000 meters!"
Hearing Sun Can's complaints, Shen Jin was speechless and immediately called Tianluodiwang, "Does the Zombie Tyrant have any significant characteristics?"
"The energy fluctuations are extremely strong, too strong to be suppressed!"
"I mean the appearance..."
"He looks plain and a bit rustic!"
"???"
The person from the Dragnet Intelligence Department continued to explain: "We haven't seen what the Zombie Tyrant looks like either, but from the videos sent in from all over the place, there are no particularly conspicuous special zombies, so we speculate that it looks very similar to an ordinary zombie and it is difficult to tell from the appearance!"
"Oh, okay..."
Shen Jin got a bunch of crap.
It is late at night and it is still cloudy in Zhengzhou. If there are no obvious external features, it will be difficult for Shen Jin and his 50-plus people to find the zombie tyrant among the 8 million zombies.
"It seems... I can only risk using energy detection..."
Sun Can hurriedly said, "Wait a minute! I have a way to lure it into action. Don't forget, I'm a summoner!"
As he spoke, Sun Can took out a cross with a skull carved on it from his backpack and said, "Come out!"
A burst of energy surged out, as if the breath from another dimension flowed in, and the smell of decay spread out, "Shua shua shua——"
10 bats flew out and transformed into human forms in front of everyone, third-level advanced vampires!
It was a little different from before. The vampire's eyes were now blood red, and a faint red blood mist was steaming from his body. "You have changed your vampire class to Red Eyes?"
Sun Can smiled complacently: "Haha, my summons can grow with my abilities, and their abilities will also increase. Now they all have long-range attacks, and can repair their own injuries by sucking the opponent's blood, becoming true vampires!"
A vampire that can't suck blood is not a good summon.
Sun Can threw an ordinary alloy weapon to each of them and said, "Go!"
Ten vampires emerged from the Taoist's formation and swooped down upon the zombies below. Everyone stared at the vampires intently. Sun Can clenched his fists and said, "A summon of my level should have attracted the attention of the Zombie Tyrant. As soon as it makes a move, we will definitely be able to lock onto its location!"
Since we can't find it, force it to take action and show up.
In this wave, they are in the dark and the zombie tyrant is in the light.
The vampires were burning with thick flames and had a green recovery halo. Sun Can had given them a short-term buff, so they could survive for a while even if they left Sun Can's skill range. This could increase their combat power by half, and their strength was close to that of a peak third-order human transcendent!
Still 10.
As expected, the tide of zombies running on the ground reacted. The 10 turkey-like flyers in the sky were obviously not friendly forces and were extremely threatening. Ten vampires swooped down from the sky and directly tore dozens of flying zombies apart. This completely detonated the tide of zombies. Countless roars were heard, and they roared at the sky, as if they wanted these vampires who killed zombies to pay the price.
A dense group of zombies flew out from the corpse tide, and there were also many tentacle zombies, standing up straight, standing up to a height of 500 meters, and waving their tentacles, they could reach a height of 1000 meters in the sky. There was a burst of crackling noises, and 10 vampire zombies moved as fast as lightning, waving the flaming blades in their hands quickly, "Hasaki!"
A series of rapid blows, dozens of lashes on the body...
But they also cut off more tentacles, and large amounts of black and red mixed blood splashed all over the sky. Blood-red mist flashed on the vampires' bodies, and energy was absorbed, instantly repairing themselves!
Be full of energy again!
Afterwards, a large number of flying zombies also rushed towards them, like a swarm of locusts. The 10 vampires kept pulling themselves up, fighting and retreating, and the 10 flaming blades danced with great skill. They stood firm in the zombie storm. They were very tough!
During this period of time, a large number of zombies were chopped down, and a circle of red blood mist formed in the air around the ten vampires. Energy light flashed, and countless amounts of blood were absorbed by them, recovering from their injuries at super high speed.
Shen Jin watched from the air, "I'm afraid they... won't be able to hold out for too long. There are too many zombies, they may be exhausted to death!"
Sun Can nodded: "That's right, even if the combat power is close to the peak of the third level, it is still not enough to fight so many zombies!"
There are also a lot of high-level zombies in the large zombie tide. The third-level flying zombies will not let the vampires retreat safely. Some deformed zombies also have the ability to fly and will do their best to block them in the air.
"I can still hold on for a while. If the Zombie Tyrant doesn't take action, I will try that trick..."
Shen Jin: "That move? Which move?"
Sun Can smiled crookedly: "Ultimate move!"
"Haha~! Are you hiding something else?"
Sun Can looked at Shen Jin in surprise: "What's wrong with me hiding one trick? You must have hidden hundreds of millions of tricks!"
“Ah, this…”
Shen Jin blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
Zhu Dan was always staring at the battlefield, and suddenly said, "Look! The zombie tyrant is taking action!"
Everyone was shocked. At this moment, they all felt a destructive force erupting from the northeast. A shit-yellow light shot out like a sharp arrow, pointing directly at the vampire zombies in the air. Everyone's eyes instantly locked onto the location where the energy was emitted. A group of blood-red creatures stood in the pile of zombies. Before everyone could observe carefully, "Bang!"
The shit-yellow energy ray directly penetrated the three vampires and then exploded!
A large mushroom cloud rose up, and a strong wind blew in the air. The zombies on the ground were blown away. The remaining 7 vampires were within the range of the explosion. 6 of them were directly blown to pieces, and the remaining 4 were hit by the edge, breaking their arms and legs and falling from the air.
The rest of the zombies rushed over instantly. The four surviving zombies turned into bats and flew up again, escaping quickly. The blood-red creature opened its mouth and swept up hundreds of zombies around it. A bright light appeared on its body. "Puff!"
Another extremely fast energy beam, the four level 3 vampires had no way of avoiding it, and two of them were killed again. The remaining two seriously injured vampires were also torn into pieces by the flying zombies that caught up with them...
In just 10 seconds, Sun Can's 10 summons were completely killed.
The blood-red creature saw that the threat around it was lifted, and its flesh and blood began to wriggle. “Puff, puff, puff—”
It spat out thousands of limp zombies and transformed itself into a sturdy zombie, about the same size as an L2 zombie. But if you look closely, it is very different from ordinary L2 zombies. The keratin on the outside of its body is as crystal-clear as black crystal, and it wears a few bone ornaments of unknown meaning on its head. The exposed skin on its face is covered with red lines, as if it was wrapped in circles of red lines. It cracked its mouth, revealing a cruel smile, and then opened its mouth, as if it was talking, and then pulled over a tentacle of the reproductive body and lay on it. The tentacle was twitching behind its buttocks...
The people in the sky finally observed the Zombie Tyrant. "No wonder we couldn't find it... It turns out that it's not big, but it can actually launch such a powerful attack..."
Sun Can didn't care about the 10 vampires who died. This thing could be summoned at any time as long as there were corpses of third-level zombies. Shen Jin felt a little painful, as this meant that 10 third-level crystal cores were gone.
Fortunately, the real body of the Zombie Tyrant was found, which was considered as intelligence fee. Sun Can looked excited: "Although it is very strong, it is not without flaws! Did you see its attack mode just now? Before launching an attack, it also needs to absorb the energy of the zombies, otherwise it will not be able to continuously launch such a powerful attack. We just need to find a way to separate it from the zombies and create an environment for a single battle, and then we have a chance to kill it!"
Zhu Dan also agreed: "After seeing its attack method this time, we don't have to be so scared. It should be a fourth-level zombie that can use simple fusion skills at any time. Its own strength may not be able to defeat our fourth-level extraordinary people. Just like what Sun Can said, as long as we create good conditions and use the big fusion skills, we may be able to kill it!"
Fear comes from the unknown. After seeing it, people are not so scared anymore. Especially when they see that the zombie tyrant still needs the help of the zombies, everyone has confidence. Isn't this a fusion skill?
No. 1 Home is a veteran in this field!
The fusion technique of the Zombie Tyrant is different from the previous zombie fusions. It is energy fusion, while the Z3 zombie is physical fusion.
The skill release of the Zombie Tyrant is actually similar to the fusion skill of Home No. 1, which is to gather the crystal core energy of thousands of zombies together and instantly emit a super strong energy wave.
Sun Li said cautiously: "Everyone, although this zombie tyrant needs to integrate the energy of other zombies to launch an attack of that strength just now, but... its own power is not necessarily weak. It is a genuine fourth-level zombie. Who knows, it may have hidden abilities. We have to find a way to test its original ability again!"
Everyone was discussing and analyzing the abilities of the Zombie Tyrant, while Shen Jin saw something else. "Have you discovered... that the Zombie Tyrant is an intelligent creature!"
"The look in its eyes and its little movements indicate that it may be capable of independent thinking, and even... language!"
"The Dragnet said that the Zombie Tyrant is suspected to be an intelligent creature, so we should be more cautious in the way we fight it. What if it likes to hide its tricks?"
"It pretends that its attack requires the help of zombies, but in fact it may have more powerful or incredible abilities. I feel that we cannot actively provoke it now, otherwise it may cause irreparable losses!"
Sun Can thought about it and suppressed his fighting spirit, "Ah... it's true, we can't afford any accidents, it would be great if I were at the fourth level!"
Shen Jin recalled the expression on the zombie tyrant's face and the regular opening and closing of his mouth. "Since we have led the survivors of Zhengzhou City to retreat and have seen the zombie tyrant, our mission for today has been completed. Moreover, the Taoist's God Hidden Formation can prevent its perception, so we still have a chance to observe again. Now it's time to go back!"
Sun Can couldn't help but ask: "When will we come to see it again?"
Shen Jin glanced in the southwest direction: "Wait for Hu Shou to recover..."
Under the night sky, a white light flickered, and Shen Jin and his party returned to the headquarters of Home No. 1, where there were still 500,000 Zhengzhou survivors waiting for resettlement.
