When the survivors reflect on this day, it often feels distant and ethereal. However, those who experienced it firsthand know that this day was undoubtedly one of humanity's darkest. As people woke from their slumber and looked out from high-rise windows, cups slipped from their hands, shattering into four pieces. They witnessed the most terrifying sight of their lives.
Outside the ten-meter-high walls, a dense mass of Zombies swarmed, a stark contrast to the previous emptiness where not a single Zombie could be seen. Now, nearly a million Zombies surged forth as if they had all awakened from hibernation, driven by an insatiable hunger for human flesh. The horde moved silently, like a trained army, advancing rapidly. By the time anyone reacted, they were already hundreds of meters away from the Safe Zone.
"Guard team, bring out all the weapons! These Zombies are unusual; they don't seem to be acting on instinct but are being controlled by someone!" Shen Zhiying urgently instructed an officer nearby. The officer recognized the gravity of the situation and hurried off to organize a response. This sudden turn of events caught Shen Zhiying completely off guard.
In fact, a year ago, everyone had been plagued by a question: where had all the Zombies gone? In a large Safe Zone, the population barely reached a million, with only five or six such zones nationwide. Medium-sized Safe Zones housed only tens of thousands, while small ones had even fewer. Even someone with no math background could understand the simplest truth: there were far more Zombies than humans.
Yet these Zombies had seemingly vanished without a trace. No one knew where they had gone or sought to find them. Humanity had enjoyed a relatively peaceful year, but that tranquility shattered on an ordinary day when countless Zombies of all types surged forth. On the high walls, human warriors stood ready, fingers poised lightly on triggers as they watched the approaching horde.
"Wait until they're closer before firing," Shen Zhiying commanded.
They drew nearer—closer still—the Zombie Tide was pressing in. Even the usually calm Shen Zhiying felt beads of sweat forming on her forehead. There were simply too many Zombies here; far more than during the siege at Jing City, which had nearly resulted in total annihilation. What would be the outcome this time with an even greater number?
To make matters worse, she was alone; everyone else had gone to that unknown island to rescue Wang Chao. She wasn't sure if there was any connection between these events, but Shen Zhiying knew she had no way out this time. At the very least, she needed to hold out until Wang Chao and his team returned. But truthfully, she didn't know how long she could last.
"Fire!" Shen Zhiying shouted as the Zombies closed in to within a hundred meters of the Imperial City’s walls.
At that same moment, other Safe Zones faced similar circumstances. Within just one night, these Zombies had approached dangerously close to various Safe Zones: Jing City, Ganzhou, Coastal Zone, Zhonghu Safe Zone, Yang Nan, Anfei—all were in the same predicament. Yet their leaders were absent from these Safe Zones; they too had gone to that unknown island and had yet to return.
Fortunately, military commanders remained within the Safe Zones and quickly mobilized defenses against the Zombies. Calls flooded in from various Safe Zones as everyone felt immense pressure; Wang Chao's phone remained unreachable. Despite this uncertainty, no one chose to flee or believed Wang Chao and his team had foreseen this crisis and abandoned them.
These individuals had witnessed how fiercely Wang Chao fought for their safety; now they understood it was their turn to protect those they cared about! However, this Zombie Tide seemed coordinated as if under unified command. Not only were large and medium-sized Safe Zones besieged by countless Zombies, but even small Safe Zones with only a few thousand inhabitants faced attacks from thousands of Zombies—none were spared.
In a small town.
In a square, two figures dressed in black stood silently. The vast square was empty, with only the two facing the rising sun, surrounded by an eerie silence—there wasn't even a single Zombie in sight, creating a strange and terrifying atmosphere. After a long moment of silence, the person in front finally spoke, "Have everything been arranged? That day has come."
As he spoke, he turned his face; it was none other than Zhang Fusheng. Wang Chao had searched all over Huaxia but had not found Zhang Fusheng. It turned out that Zhang Fusheng was right before him, within the small town surrounded by high walls and Electric Fences, a town with extremely high radiation levels. He and the person beside him seemed unbothered by the Nuclear Radiation, standing in the square without any protective gear.
"That's right; we took action last night," said the person behind him. "If it's this time, they may have already engaged. We haven't spared any area—north, south, or even some remote places. All the Zombies have been dispatched. The mutated creatures in the small town have not been sent out; they are still under control, following your orders."
Zhang Fusheng nodded and then touched the rings on his hand. Upon closer inspection, he was wearing two rings: one was an ancient-looking ring, while the other was black. If Wang Chao or Shen Zhitao were present, they would be astonished because that black ring was not an ordinary one; it was a Spatial Ring.
In this world, there were only three Spatial Rings: one was with Xiaocao, one with an old man, and the third was specially made by the old man for Wang Chao as a potential seed. At this moment, since Wang Chao had two Spatial Rings on him, it meant that this particular Spatial Ring belonged to the old man.
Zhang Fusheng recalled a year ago when he encountered a mysterious person while carrying Jian Xiaoqing's body. This person had given him the ability to control Zombies and had also provided him with this Spatial Ring. He claimed that they were both kindred spirits and had only one request: within a year’s time, he must not kill Wang Chao. Zhang Fusheng did not understand what the old man's intentions were.
At that time, Zhang Fusheng would not have killed Wang Chao anyway.
"Then let’s unleash a massacre," Zhang Fusheng shook his head and said.
