Chapter 345 They Evolved

Even with Jiang Wan's plant-based weapons, they were still at a disadvantage.

Because there were not only zombies, but also Qin Yuan and Xuan Turtle. They didn't attack all at once; they came in waves, taking turns to wear down the city's weapon inventory.

While things were in a similar state on their side, the situation in Zhusha City was even more dire, with their weapons and ammunition running out.

Just when everyone thought they were in grave danger, the attack from outside suddenly stopped.

The zombies all retreated into the forest, Qin Yuan stopped attacking humans with poison needles, and Xuan Gui and the others stopped ramming into the walls and using their tails to attack the city guards, as if a temporary truce had been reached.

A series of cries and screams erupted within Zhusha City, as many people were either injured by Qin Yuan or stung by the tail of the Xuan Turtle, both of which were highly poisonous.

This round of fighting resulted in heavy casualties in Zhusha City.

Jiang Wan also mobilized everyone to conduct a self-examination: "All the injured should come to my side."

Fortunately, they have many superhumans on their side, and with the help of plant weapons and mutated rose assistants, not many people were injured.

Jiang Wan gave them the prepared medicine to drink, and everyone felt relieved.

Compared to the panic in Zhusha City, they were relatively at ease, at least for the time being, no one's life was in danger.

However, Jiang Wan was very worried. Besides worrying about Cheng Zhen and the others in the wild, she was also worried that the enemies outside were only temporarily at peace and would soon launch a new round of attacks.

Without any reinforcements, they would surely perish in a protracted war.

Song Hui shared the same concerns as her, but right now they had no choice but to defend the city to the death.

Just then, a man's loud laughter suddenly rang out from outside the city wall.

Hahaha~!

The laughter grew closer and closer, finally stopping outside the city gates of Vermilion City.

"Lord Zhang, it's been a long time! I heard that our renowned and capable Lord Zhang has become a coward, but I don't believe it, so I've come here today to see for myself!"

Judging from this, it seems they've come to see Zhang Hao.

Jiang Wan climbed up the city wall to look, but as soon as she appeared, Cheng Wenshan suddenly turned around and smiled at her: "Little girl, it's been a long time. Don't worry about me. As long as you behave, I will definitely not hurt you."

Jiang Wan frowned. It was him!

Her instinct told her that this person was cunning, treacherous, and untrustworthy.

She remained silent. Since Cheng Wenshan's primary target was Zhang Hao, she decided to wait and see.

Zhang Hao didn't know what was going on. Cheng Wenshan had been shouting under the city wall for a long time. It wasn't until he finally threatened that if Zhang Hao didn't show his face, he would launch another attack that Zhang Hao finally arrived and appeared under the city wall of Zhusha City.

But the location he chose was quite clever; it was the city wall shared by Zhusha City and Longxiang City.

"Cheng Wenshan, you traitor to humanity! You actually colluded with monsters and used them to fight against our fellow humans! What do you want from me? Do you want me to act on behalf of Heaven and subdue you, you monster?"

Cheng Wenshan gave a cold smile: "Lord Zhang, this is no longer an era for you to talk big. Before you speak, please consider your own situation, okay?"

With a wave of his hand, a Qin Yuan immediately spread its wings and took flight, then swooped down towards Zhang Hao.

As it approached the city wall, it suddenly turned around and aimed the poisoned needle from its tail at him.

Zhang Hao was startled and immediately ordered the city guards to protect him, while he himself hid behind the superhuman.

Just as the poisoned needles were about to pierce them, Cheng Wenshan suddenly whistled, and Qin Yuan's attack immediately stopped. He even turned back to look at the cowardly and incompetent Zhang Hao provocatively before flying away.

Standing on the wall, Jiang Wan took in the whole scene. When she looked at Cheng Wenshan, she became more thoughtful. What kind of power did this person have? How did he manage to control these ancient creatures?

Zhang Hao was startled and his composure crumbled. He angrily asked, "Wenshan, what exactly do you want?"

“Lord Zhang has always been very clever. Can’t you guess why I’ve come? What could your Vermilion City possibly have that would make me go to such lengths to come here?”

"The most abundant thing in my Zhusha City is cinnabar. How much do you want? Just tell me. In this post-apocalyptic world of oxygen deficiency, money is no longer needed. We can exchange grain for goods."

"Hahaha."

Cheng Wenshan laughed loudly upon hearing this, looking at him as if he were a fool.

“Zhang Hao, are you stupid, or do you think I’m as stupid as you? What would I do with cinnabar? I don’t need to cultivate to become an immortal or attain profound enlightenment. Besides, you probably know better than I do what cinnabar is all about.”

Zhang Hao didn't respond to him, but instead laughed it off: "But all we have in Cinnabar City is cinnabar. There's really nothing else in Cinnabar City that you should care about!"

Cheng Wenshan watched him pretend, slowly raising his hand, as if he was about to order Qin Yuan to attack them again.

Zhang Hao was terrified. They were no match for these monsters. Although he had a few superhumans under his command, he didn't want them to die at his hands!

He still wanted the only team of superhumans to protect him for the rest of his life!

So he immediately surrendered: "You want Ω, right? I have some of that. Although it's not as abundant as Dragon City, I can give you half."

Cheng Wenshan appreciated his pragmatism and smiled faintly: "Give me half of it, our Lord Zhang is quite generous. It's a pity, I don't need it."

He suddenly opened his arms wide and showed them: "Do you think we still need this Omega in our current state?"

Jiang Wan suddenly realized that she had long felt that Cheng Wenshan was a strange person, but she hadn't noticed what was strange about him just now. Now that he reminded her of it, she immediately saw it.

"He doesn't need oxygen anymore!"

The twins exclaimed in unison, "He's not wearing an oxygen mask!"

Like the other Qin Yuan and Xuan Gui outside, he doesn't need oxygen at all, so he doesn't need Ω at all!

Zhang Hao also realized this, and he asked him in surprise, "Cheng Wenshan, how exactly did you become this kind of monster?"

"Monster? Haha!" Cheng Wenshan laughed uncontrollably.

"In this world now, you are the monsters, and you are the only ones who are still foolish and backward, needing to rely on oxygen to survive! We have all evolved! We no longer need oxygen! We can move freely in this world without any restrictions!"

His state of mind was particularly frightening.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, watching him intently. Only after his laughter subsided did Zhang Hao continue, "Since you have evolved to be so powerful, why bother coming to us?"
