Cultivating Immortality in the Apocalypse

When the apocalypse descends, a zombie crisis emerges, and strange anomalies appear.

It's merely a game for those who cannot be directly seen. The hope of the dying is also the biggest va...

Chapter 317 Fifth-Order Zombie

After a month of peace, Qian Li moved to Li Xuanzu's place but did not go on missions. She still went to the psychic training base every day to teach students.

Fu Yu and Ouyang Ningxue practiced martial arts every day, which made their lives quite fulfilling.

Li Xuanzu was in a bad mood, wandering around all day. The most interesting thing he did was send a few blood servants to lead some psionic squads out to hunt zombies.

It's worth mentioning that Li Xuanzu became famous during the previous New Year's psychic rebellion. His Blood Servant's combat power was considered quite strong among the fourth-tier psychics in the entire capital.

Some first and second-tier psionicists both respected and feared the Blood Servant. They respected its strength, as it could always make the most suitable attack moves and perfectly neutralize the enemy's attacks; they feared that after each zombie was killed, the Blood Servant would extend thin blood-red threads to absorb blood.

Low-level zombies are alright, as they don't look human. But when it comes to third or fourth-level zombies, their bodies, which are extremely similar to humans, are drained of their life force, it's enough to make anyone feel physically uncomfortable.

Moreover, the Blood Servant was accompanied by a group of inexperienced newcomers who had spent their days in the training base after becoming psionicists in Kyoto, and were hunting zombies for the first time.

Therefore, Blood Servants generally only make their move when these newcomers are facing zombies of level three or four or higher, whose rank is significantly higher.

In addition, he never speaks to anyone, yet he always manages to save people at crucial moments, which earns him high praise from others.

Li Xuanzu will not leave behind too many blood servants. While ensuring combat strength, they also need to have basic communication skills. They need a few drops of essence blood, and they also need to differentiate more divine consciousness than normal blood servants.

He couldn't handle too many, so he could only leave blood servants for Elder Huang while ensuring his own spiritual energy functioned normally.

In any case, he would not help the Dragon Kingdom develop and build within his capabilities. After all, the more experienced the psionicists were, the more efficient the Dragon Kingdom would be in recovering lost territory. In order to match the labor force with the land area, the Dragon Kingdom would inevitably develop its population.

In this way, he didn't lose anything, but he could obtain more blood in the future. Why not?

In places like Pakistan and India, which he visited, he left behind many blood servants with independent consciousness who had collected a lot of blood by hunting zombies.

There's no need to worry about being discovered by the leaders of the two countries, since the place where he deployed the blood servants is quite far from the safe points of both countries.

At worst, we can just take it back if it gets discovered; it'll be hard for them to catch up even if they want to.

There is no need to worry about whether blood servants with independent consciousness will betray you.

Their consciousness was bestowed by Li Xuanzu, and their existence is due to Li Xuanzu's existence. Even if they have independent consciousness, they are ultimately one. Betray themselves? That's ridiculous.

But peaceful days can't last too long, because... fifth-tier zombies have appeared on Earth!

To be precise, there is another Tier 5 Strange Being, but it is not the first time it has appeared, so it is not particularly rare.

It is said to have appeared in the African region, within the territory of Angkor, and is currently advancing northwestward. It has already left the African region and reached the Saudi Arabian Peninsula.

This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the already struggling nation of Sand Kingdom in its fight against the zombies. If it weren't for the distress call Huang Lao received late last night, which prompted him to urgently call Li Xuanzu and inform other countries, no one would have known about it.

Old Huang wasn't a pushover, so he didn't immediately agree. If he had readily agreed, and Li Xuanzu hadn't gone, he would have been in an awkward position.

And the Saudi Arabia couldn't just turn to the Dragon Kingdom for help. He contacted leaders of other countries he could reach, and only the Dragon Kingdom's attitude gave them some hope.

Huang's reply was "I'll think about it," while leaders of other countries directly refused.

"A fifth-tier zombie? So fast?" It wasn't Li Xuanzu who spoke, but Leng An.

When it comes to the issue of unknown zombies, Leng An, as a reborn person, still has a lot to say.

"I remember... shouldn't there still be six months left?"

"Is that hard to understand? Your timeline from your previous life is already messed up. Let's talk about what the abilities of a fifth-tier zombie are roughly." Li Xuanzu interrupted Leng An and asked the main question directly.

It was that small farm again. Besides Li Xuanzu and Leng An, there were Qian Li, Fu Yu, and Ouyang Ningxue. The three from Leng An's side didn't come.

“Okay.” Leng An cleared his throat and spoke slowly.

"In addition to manipulating and generating matter, the fifth-tier zombie has an additional ability to change its own material state, which, in layman's terms, is to transform."

"They can change their own state of matter, which is very troublesome, but not unsolvable."

“Their cores don’t change when they transform, so you could say they have no other weaknesses. But controlling the opponent’s core is definitely possible!”

"However, if a zombie's transformation ability is in the form of gas, such as poisonous gas or mist, the spirit core can see it, but its mobility is extremely high. This type of fifth-tier zombie is rare, but very difficult to kill."

After saying this, Leng An looked at Li Xuanzu and Elder Huang with some unease.

"The fifth-tier zombies over there in the Sand Country... are gas-type shapeshifters, and they're poisonous gas."

Old Huang sighed.

Upon hearing this, Leng An couldn't help but gasp.

While gas is not particularly effective against single targets, it is absolutely the most lethal over a wide area and is the least likely to be overwhelmed by sheer numbers.

"Let's take a look first. The Sand Kingdom is quite close to the African region, isn't it? Hasn't it been destroyed?" Li Xuanzu asked with some curiosity.

"No, it should be those countries in the Mediterranean region that have gods who sent people to help. It's a matter of mutual dependence; if Saudi Arabia is occupied, they will be the ones who suffer," Old Huang replied.

"I can go, it just depends on whether you agree to their request," Li Xuanzu said nonchalantly, shrugging.

"If possible, go and take a look. The Sand Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom are on good terms, and they're not too far apart. While you're at it... go and see the gods of those countries. If it's too dangerous, then forget it."

"Alright, enough of that. Let's prepare some things for tomorrow. We don't need too much food or drink. After we kill the level 5 zombie, I'll just take a look and leave."

Li Xuanzu interrupted Huang Lao, not intending to listen to his useless words.

"Leng An, I'm a little curious, in your previous life, did any deities intervene?" Li Xuanzu suddenly changed the subject, steer the conversation toward Leng An.

“This is what I’ve never understood. In my previous life, no gods appeared at all. Even after I reached the sixth-tier psionic level, there was still no news of them.” Leng An’s expression suddenly became serious.

"The gods of this era appeared out of nowhere, without any warning."

"I have another question. Can you really guarantee that the human camp won in your previous life?"

I don't know if it's psychological, but the air temperature seemed to drop several degrees, and it was so cold that it made me shiver.
