Charge forward. Wu Yingzhou unleashed unparalleled violence, attacking relentlessly on his own while Zheng Yifan and the others were merely responsible for advancing, continuously pushing ahead against the formidable Zombies, a mix of heavy artillery and elite foes.
These elite Zombies were no different from ordinary ones in the horde, lacking any special traits. However, when they engaged in battle, they exhibited unimaginable combat prowess.
Second-Level Zombies? Yes, they were merely Second-Level Zombies.
Yet, they were Survivors from the Tiger Mouth Military Base turned into Zombies. They possessed intelligence and unified command that set them apart from a mere rabble.
Combat had become ingrained in their blood; as long as life persisted, so would the fighting.
Wu Yingzhou led the charge at the front, effortlessly dispatching the Zombies ahead with his three avatars. No one behind him needed to worry; there was no concern for them at all.
The speed was astonishing, almost as if he were in a constant sprint. Once a Zombie was taken down, it quickly transformed into Zombie Fluid, posing little obstruction.
“Hey! Look at that girl; she's stunning!” Shi Laonian suddenly remarked indifferently amidst the chaos of their charge. Zheng Yifan felt a cold sweat break out; this old man truly dared to say anything, even starting a discussion about a girl right in front of them.
However, Zheng Yifan's gaze followed the old man's line of sight. Indeed, she was a remarkably beautiful girl; her delicate features stirred an impulsive desire within him.
A campus beauty.
Unfortunately, she could only serve as a Zombie flower now. She had already consumed Zombie Potion and transformed into a genuine Zombie, stripped of all humanity. The feeling of life was slowly fading away; only death awaited her.
No matter how beautiful a woman might be, once she became a Zombie, she was merely a skeletal figure.
No! They wouldn’t even have the chance to become skeletons; after becoming Zombies, death would leave nothing but fluid on the ground.
"A good girl just died like that, leaving nothing behind. The people at Tiger Mouth Military Base are truly cruel." Zheng Yifan could no longer hold back. The Adamantium Shield in his hand slowly flew out. It lightly grazed the head of the beautiful Zombie before quickly returning.
The shield returned at high speed, not a drop of Zombie Fluid on it. The Female Zombie had died without leaving anything behind.
Zheng Yifan looked at the woman, feeling truly sorry for her. If she were in the real world, she would undoubtedly be pursued by a crowd of men. Even in the Hope Gathering Place, she could have lived comfortably, perhaps marrying a capable Superpowered Individual. If she awakened a decent Superpower, Zheng Yifan might even arrange for her to be one of his trusted subordinates.
Unfortunately, she had died on the battlefield, nameless and leaving nothing behind.
"Let's go!" Shi Laonian continued walking forward, disinterested. With the female Zombie dead, he had lost all interest; nothing was more enjoyable to him than alcohol.
"Wait!" Zheng Yifan suddenly became alert, carefully surveying the surroundings. The Zombies had clearly turned grass-green at the moment the female Zombie died. At least a hundred Zombies around them had changed color.
Gradually, Zheng Yifan began to understand what was happening. When the female Zombie died, she released some gas that had no effect on Superpowered Individuals but was absolute poison for Zombies—a powerful poison at that. Now, all the Zombies appeared green and moved in an eerie manner, their bodies swaying unnaturally as if they were drunk. Their muscles began to bulge widely, slowly transforming them into fat Zombies.
"Be careful! Move slowly!" Zheng Yifan didn't need to say much; they were already preparing to defend against these Zombies. Any abnormal Zombies were definitely problematic. The swollen green bodies were too obvious now, especially with the Zombie Fluid starting to ooze from their faces.
"They're probably going to self-destruct! Everyone be careful!" Zheng Yifan shouted loudly as he sent his Adamantium Shield flying towards the Zombies. Whatever was happening, he needed to take down one Zombie first to figure out what tricks they were up to.
However, Zheng Yifan's plan was clearly misguided. The Adamantium Shield struck them as if it were peeling away a layer of oil skin; in reality, it removed all their corpses, leaving only Zombie Fluid on the ground. The fluid flowed in deep green streams but was no longer being absorbed by the ground; it remained there.
Zheng Yifan watched in confusion, unsure of what these mindless creatures were up to.
In this situation, Zheng Yifan could only respond as things unfolded; proactive measures were futile. The Zombies mutated rapidly, and before they could react, another mutation might occur. All he could do was continue attacking the Zombies.
Before him stood a Zombie, its skin completely gone, leaving only Zombie Fluid behind. Upon closer inspection, he could see the Zombie Fluid continuously evaporating, as if it were dispersing into the air, with large amounts of it turning into vapor.
While Zheng Yifan was still in shock, Wu Yingzhou shouted loudly, "This is bad! The Zombie Fluid hasn't been immediately decomposed, which means it has the potential to infect. We're near our Gathering Place, and if the vapor from the Zombie Fluid enters the clouds and causes a downpour at Hope Gathering Place, there might not be any living people left inside except for the Superpowered Individuals."
Wu Yingzhou's words struck Zheng Yifan like a bolt from the blue. This was truly a desperate situation; they didn't care about the population anyway—let them consume the people of Hope Gathering Place!
The people from Tiger Mouth Military Base had already gathered intelligence. The population within Hope Gathering Place was incredibly valuable; each person represented significant wealth for the Gathering Place. Now, their eyes were set on the Survivors, aiming to force Zheng Yifan to surrender or achieve a quick victory without further delay. The longer they waited, the more disadvantageous it became for them.
This was indeed a dire situation for Hope Gathering Place. If they allowed Hope Gathering Place and even the southern Ruiguan and those scattered Gathering Places to perish, what use would it be for Zheng Yifan to have hundreds of thousands of Superpowered Individuals still alive?
Behind them were their wives and daughters! Could they just stand by and watch them die?
Zheng Yifan's eyes turned red at that moment. Setting aside the fact that his woman was strategizing for him within the Gathering Place, he couldn't ignore the frontline battles. Who didn't have a wife or children? Even if they hadn't before, they certainly did now; Superpowered Individuals had no shortage of women.
"Leader! We must find a way to deal with this Zombie Fluid, or it will be too late!" Wu Yingzhou urged Zheng Yifan.
Despite his urgency, Zheng Yifan felt equally helpless; he didn't even know what to do. A single Superpowered Individual couldn't clear away such a vast expanse of clouds.
Currently, the number of Zombie Fluid from these hundreds of Zombies wasn't enough to infect the moisture in the clouds. But if thousands more Zombies sacrificed themselves, it could definitely become a reality.
"Leader! We need to take down those Zombie Leaders so that the Zombies below will be leaderless. Only then can we effectively distinguish between the Zombies from Tiger Mouth Military Base and those in the wild," Wu Yingzhou continued.
Zheng Yifan nodded; this was already a plan of last resort. It wasn't easy to decapitate them; if the Leader Zombie didn't reveal itself voluntarily, they wouldn't be able to find it at all. These were Zombie Leaders, not mere lackeys; they always hid themselves well during battles. Although those Advanced Zombies were obvious Emblems, whenever there were large numbers of Advanced Zombies in one place, there would inevitably be a Leader Zombie nearby.
However, where exactly he needed to go was something Zheng Yifan had to figure out for himself. The mountains were nowhere to be found now.
The zombies in front of him had all turned into bloated forms. This mutation spread like a plague, with their numbers gradually swelling to over a hundred, completely transforming into Zombie Fluid, which then evaporated into the air. It wasn't that they had stopped spreading; rather, the initial virus causing the mutation had run out, preventing any further changes. Only a few dozen half-transformed zombies were taken down by Zheng Yifan's gunfire, melting away into Zombie Fluid and merging with the ground.
Zheng Yifan had never anticipated that Tiger Mouth Military Base would be this troublesome. Even after exhausting all his efforts, he still hadn't managed to eliminate that one zombie, which instead triggered such a massive phenomenon of zombie evaporation.
If every survivor who consumed Zombie Potion would become infected by zombies, then Zheng Yifan might as well give up without a fight; after all, whether he fought or not, his people would end up dead anyway. It would be better to hurry home and get some rest.
However, it was clear that this was a special situation. Next, Zheng Yifan continuously encountered zombies from Tiger Mouth Military Base and ruthlessly eliminated them.
The difference between these zombies and ordinary ones lay in the devices on their necks, which clearly exposed their identities.
Among the dozen or so zombies, only one triggered another peak of evaporation. Zheng Yifan could not contain the invisible steam; he could only let it rise continuously into the air.
The once clear sky gradually began to show hints of green clouds as the battle commenced. If the quantity of Zombie Fluid was sufficient, it would undoubtedly transform into rain clouds at an alarming speed and blow towards Hope Gathering Place, leading to the complete demise of its common survivors.
This would truly undermine their foundation. However, Zheng Yifan clearly would not allow such a situation to occur.
For instance, right now, he had locked onto a target—a place likely responsible for releasing control signals. (To be continued...)
