After finishing with No.4, Ye Lei slowly turned around. Suddenly, he was surprised to find that the leopard, which had been lying on the ground, had somehow stood up!

It seems to have regained much of its strength. Could it be that it's trying to take this opportunity to escape?

This must never be allowed to happen!

Without hesitation, Ye Lei quickened his pace, stopping about two meters away from the leopard. He then focused his mind, attempting to control the ferocious beast with his willpower.

As expected, at that moment, a system notification sounded in Ye Lei's mind.

The zombies are too powerful; control has failed.

Clearly, this leopard was far too clever and cunning; it deliberately used Ye Lei to eliminate No. 4.

Upon realizing this, Ye Lei felt a surge of doubt, but even more so, anger.

He made a decisive move, taking out a lightsaber from his own space, which emitted a blue light.

Upon seeing the lightsaber, the leopard's eyes once again revealed a deep sense of fear.

It thought to itself, "This human is truly extraordinary!" However, despite its fear, the leopard was not willing to submit.

After all, as a level-two zombie general, it possesses the strength to command a zombie army and conquer the world. How could it easily bow down to a human it has never taken seriously before?

Ye Lei also stopped allowing Xia Yuhe to invade its mind and talk to it. As a dignified human being, to be deceived and misled by a mere beast was undoubtedly a great disgrace to him!

The leopard seemed to sense the intense killing intent surrounding it, and knew that it had no way to escape today. Only by fighting to the death could it find a glimmer of hope for survival.

So it secretly gathered its strength and prepared to unleash its supernatural tornado with all its might, attempting to take the enemy down with it.

Just as the leopard was about to unleash its powerful energy, Ye Lei keenly sensed the approaching danger.

Without hesitation, he quickened his pace, rushing towards the leopard's side like a whirlwind, and with lightning speed, swung his sword straight at the leopard's strong and powerful body.

In an instant, a heart-wrenching pain struck, causing the leopard to let out an extremely shrill scream.

The supernatural energy that had been painstakingly accumulated over time vanished instantly due to this sudden and severe injury.

At the same time, the system's voice echoed in Ye Lei's mind once again.

Zombie affinity increased to 40%.

This shows that the leopard had developed a fear of Ye Lei.

Ye Lei aimed his lightsaber at the crystal core on the leopard's forehead. With a slight exertion, he could obtain this highest-level crystal core, while the leopard would perish.

Seeing that the leopard was on the verge of death, Xia Yuhe quickly focused her mind and invaded its brain.

"Big leopard, you'd better submit now, or you'll become a dead leopard."

"But... he's just a human being."

It seems that humans are always insignificant in its eyes.

"Shouldn't you submit to anyone who is stronger than you? Besides, they can protect your safety."

Xia Yuhe is making a final effort.

"However, he is indeed quite amazing. I really didn't expect that even in the apocalypse, humanity could still be so powerful."

The leopard witnessed Ye Lei's slaying of No. 4 firsthand, and compared to its own actions, Ye Lei's kill was far cleaner and more efficient.

"Then what are you waiting for? If you wait any longer, you'll completely miss your chance."

"Well, being able to find a powerful master is enough for this leopard."

The leopard could only lower its proud head.

The system's voice echoed in Ye Lei's mind once again.

Zombie affinity increased to 100%

This delighted Ye Lei, who had already made up his mind. He knew that this was definitely all thanks to Xia Yuhe.

Controlling a level-two zombie general like this is equivalent to controlling an army of zombies, which is much more worthwhile than killing it.

Ye Lei refocused his attention and tried to control the zombie.

Soon, the system's voice echoed in his mind.

[Congratulations, host, you have successfully bound yourself to a zombie.]

After the system notification, the leopard actually raised its head, looked at Ye Lei, and waited for him to give it an order.

[Please name the zombie for easier control.]

Since he can use the supernatural tornado, let's call him the Gale Cheetah.

[Zombie Name Successfully Acquired: Gale Cheetah]

As if it understood, the cheetah lowered its proud head.

"Yes...it worked."

Ye Lei smiled and raised his right hand to give Xia Yuhe a high five to celebrate their success. He was secretly overjoyed: "I only wanted to be a bystander and join in the fun, but I never expected that I would actually be able to control a level two corpse general!"

At this moment, Ye Lei decided to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

He knew that No.4's death would inevitably alert and garner attention from the X Labs.

Before long, a large number of military personnel will arrive.

If they happen to see us, we'll be in deep trouble and won't be able to clear our names no matter what!

So, he controlled the bloodthirsty bat, grabbed the mangled limbs of No.4 that had melted from the ice, and threw them without hesitation into the surging horde of zombies in the distance.

Let's just consider it as a lunch that's better than nothing for these hungry folks!

Immediately afterwards, the Gale Cheetah followed closely behind Ye Lei, arriving together in front of the Mercedes SUV.

The clever and quick-witted Beanna had already seen everything that was happening here.

"Brother Lei, congratulations on gaining another powerful general."

"It is indeed a very happy event, it is really amazing."

"Yes, I saw it all. Let's hurry up and go!"

"The battle is over, the spoils are in our pockets, if we don't leave now, when will we?"

After saying this, Ye Lei darted into the driver's seat. At the same time, the Gale Cheetah, dragging its injured body, struggled to climb onto the roof of the vehicle.

Clearly, after a fierce battle, the beast was no longer able to run.

Time is of the essence; we must return to camp as soon as possible! Only Xiuyan possesses the ability to heal the Gale Leopard, and only her healing magic can help it recover quickly and return to its peak condition.

Once the Gale Cheetah has fully recovered, it will undoubtedly become Ye Lei's most reliable and fearless vanguard on his future adventures, paving the way for him to overcome all obstacles and forge ahead!

Ye Lei stepped on the gas, and the Mercedes SUV drove towards the refuge of Tomato University.

Along the way, those once towering skyscrapers are now just ruins, with bricks and stones scattered all over the ground, revealing the traces of time.

The windows of the high-rise building are broken, and the shards of glass reflect a dim light. The tattered curtains sway in the wind, as if telling a story of past glories.

Wild grasses grew wildly in the cracks of the road, and the asphalt surface was damaged by plant roots, making it bumpy and uneven, and no car could drive on it anymore.

Occasionally, temporary shelters built by survivors can be seen in these ruins, demonstrating humanity's tenacious will to survive.
