"!!!"

Ranliu looked horrified.

Xing Kai was instantly defeated by this pig in front of him?

You have to understand that Xing Kai is a level seven. Judging from his combat power just now, even if I were also a level seven, I might not be able to win.

Moreover, Xing Kai is a metal-type zombie.

Its entire body, including its skin and bones, is metallic, giving it an astonishing level of defense.

result……

He was just killed by a rake like that?

Ran Liu looked him up and down a few times, then immediately realized something, his lips trembling: "Level eight? This black-haired wild boar is level eight? Wait! You...you are...Sun Aotian's junior brother?"

"Ouch?"

Zhu Wuneng raised an eyebrow: "I didn't expect that I, Old Pig, am also famous, but that's not a reason for me to let you go."

"Please, spare my life."

The flames trembled.

It seems they are afraid of the other party.

Besides Zhang Haowei's renowned reputation, the Dawn Society also boasts seven top-tier combatants under its command: Sun Aotian, Zhao Wu, Yang Erlang, the Ghost Doctor, Yuwen Tuo, Ye Tianfan, and Honglian.

These seven are among the most powerful individuals in the Dawn Society.

Lord Ainz had already given orders that anyone who saw such a powerful individual should flee immediately, with preserving their life as the primary objective.

And Zhu Wuneng before us...

Although they are not as famous as Sun Aotian and others, they are still considered to be at the level of first-tier combatants. Their numbers in the Dawn Society do not exceed twenty. Even if the so-called elite zombies are of the same level, they would hardly pose any threat to such strong individuals.

Without support, encountering such a person means nothing more than begging for mercy.

Seeing Ranliu beg for mercy, Zhu Wuneng chuckled and said, "I can spare you, but on the condition that... you use your spiritual fire to evacuate this batch of intermediate-level zombies, and that way you can temporarily save your life."

"temporary?"

Burnflow captured this word.

It couldn't help but feel a little surprised. There was almost no possibility of reconciliation between humans and zombies. Its plea for mercy just now was actually a desperate act, and it never expected to succeed... But what the other party said didn't seem to be false.

Could it be...?

I might actually survive.

Yan Ting stepped forward and calmly explained, "To tell you the truth, among the people you and Xing Kai killed before... were friends of one of my outstanding clansmen. I spared your life for now only because I wanted to take you back to him to be killed."

"Your life can only be saved for a while, but you will eventually die. You can only live for a day or two... For you zombies, that's quite a long time, isn't it?"

"Okay, I promise you."

There is no choice regarding the combustion stream.

Since the other party really wants to preserve their life.

Even if it's only temporary, there's still hope for survival.

As a psychic zombie, his intelligence was not low. He could tell that the other party was doing this more for the Dawn Society, to thwart Lord Ainz's plan to attack Hong City. Satisfying that Yan He boy was just a side effect.

Leizhou City is more than 1,200 kilometers away from Hongcheng City.

Given the long distance and the slow movement of intermediate-level zombies, it would take at least a day to reach the destination.

So, within 24 hours, there might be an opportunity to escape.

After deciding on the idea...

Ranliu picked up his kerosene lamp and ignited the flame of his spirit.

Then, intending to lead the group of zombies in the opposite direction, Yan Ting and Zhu Wuneng exchanged a glance, feeling slightly helpless but also relieved.

actually……

The safest approach is to simply eliminate this group of intermediate-level zombies.

The problem is that there are far too many of these intermediate-level zombies, at least close to ten million, while Zhu Wuneng's combat power is limited... which is simply not enough to wipe them out in a short time.

Most importantly...

If the commotion is too great, it could easily disturb the level nine corpse king.

Although it may seem like it's not far from Hongcheng City, which is only 100 kilometers away, the average daily travel speed of an eighth-level awakened person is at least 300 kilometers per hour.

A level eight mutated creature like Zhu Wuneng.

With a speed exceeding 350 kilometers per hour, this is precisely why... Zhu Wuneng was able to travel so quickly from Leizhou City to the east of Hongcheng City to provide personal support to the intelligence department.

Because the individual's speed is fast enough.

However, this situation also has a major drawback, because it is impossible to bring more legion members, as there is no longer enough time to do so.

As for that level nine zombie king...

The distance of a mere 100 kilometers can be reached in less than ten minutes.

So this is the only clumsy way we can do it.

Zhu Wuneng frowned and whispered, "Yan Ting, have you considered this? If this batch of zombies doesn't arrive in Hongcheng on time... it will definitely alert Gu Tianle, and we'll be in great danger if we get caught."

"Don't worry."

Yan Ting smiled and said, "There are more than a dozen Lantern Zombies among this batch of zombies. Although they are not level six, level five only requires igniting the Spiritual Flame... Lead the zombies into dozens of groups and disperse them to confuse the enemy's vision. Then we can take the opportunity to return to our base camp."

"But why should they listen to us?" Zhu Wuneng didn't understand.

"Ranliu is the leader of the zombies. Just follow his orders. There are too many zombies here, and they are scattered. To prevent them from crowding together and causing chaos, Xing Kai's death just now... wasn't witnessed by many zombies."

Yan Ting had already thought of the plan: "The zombies at medium to long range don't even know that one of the tie-wearing zombies has died, so we just need to eliminate the zombies we see nearby, and then coerce Ranliu to cooperate with us."

"Great idea! Let's do it this way!"

Zhu Wuneng nodded.

To save his life, Ranliu had no choice but to agree to cooperate.

After Zhu Wuneng killed the nearby zombies, he instructed Ranliu to order the other Burning Lamp zombies to split into thirty-five groups and disperse in all directions.

but……

The Burning Lamp Zombie isn't so easy to fool either.

After walking nearly 100 kilometers.

One of the level 5 Burning Lamp warriors rolled his eyes, looking at the more than 200,000 zombies behind him, and couldn't help but wonder: "Something's not right, is it? Why did Leader Burning Flow suddenly order us to split up and travel separately? But the direction isn't right either... it's all over the place, I just feel like something's not right!"

The low-level zombie next to him scratched his head in a daze and said, "Why bother with all that? Would Leader Ranliu dare to betray Lord Bone King? I suspect that Lord Bone King's plan has changed? Is he trying to create a smokescreen to mislead the Dawn Society?"

"It can't be... that Lord Ranliu has been kidnapped, can it?"

"That makes some sense."

The zombie with the burning lamp muttered something.

But the next second, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he realized something: "Holy crap! You might actually be right, the leader of Burning Flow has most likely been kidnapped by the Dawn Society!!"
