Chapter 33 Zombie King!

Bai Li is a man of action.

The next morning, after settling the little ancestor and the two cat brothers,

She couldn't wait to embark on a journey to find a chef apprentice.

Target: Suitable "Chef's Apprentice" zombie.

Requirements: The limbs should be relatively intact, the movements should not be too stiff, and it is best to look "clean".

Bai Li brought Fatty Orange and Sanhua,

Carefully searching in another ruined area far away from the basement.

Soon, the calico cat let out a low, alert growl and pointed to the entrance of a half-collapsed residential building.

Bai Li concentrated her mind and sensed,

There are several zombies wandering around in the building.

One of them was wearing a stained chef's uniform. Although it was also rotten, its arms and legs looked relatively intact.

"That's it!"

Bai Li selected the target.

She used the same trick again, hiding behind a broken wall, concentrating her mind, condensing a tough mental thread, and carefully probing into the consciousness of the chef zombie.

Buzz!

The chaotic and cold thoughts came again, stronger than last time!

The chef zombie's body suddenly stiffened and stopped wandering aimlessly.

"Pick up the spoon from the floor!"

She relayed instructions and attempted to manipulate at the same time.

The chef zombie's rotten arm slowly rose, and the joints made a teeth-grinding crunching sound.

Trembling, bending down with great difficulty, one click at a time,

His claw-like fingers clumsily tried to grab a rusty metal spoon on the ground.

Once... didn't catch...

Twice...slipped open...

The third time... I finally managed to grab the handle of the spoon...

Bai Li felt that his mental power was rapidly flowing away like a faucet that had been opened!

Just to complete this extremely simple grabbing action,

It made her feel dizzy and tired.

It's too difficult!

If you want to finely control it to complete the action of picking up a spoon, which requires muscle coordination,

The consumption of mental energy and the control precision required are ridiculously high!

This is just holding a spoon,

Light it? Pour water? Stir?

Bai Li felt dizzy when he thought about it.

She was unwilling to give up, gritted her teeth, and concentrated her last mental strength.

Trying to get the chef zombie to hand over the spoon.

The chef zombie's arm was like a rusty mechanical arm. Very slowly and with violent trembling, he raised the hand holding the spoon to his chest.

Then,

The arm shook violently!

The rusty spoon slipped out of my hand.

It fell to the ground with a clang and rolled far away.

The chef zombie stood there in a daze.

Bai Li: ...

She felt her mental strength being drained away instantly.

My vision went dark and a strong sense of fatigue came over me like a tide.

Failed.

The current level of mental strength is simply not enough to support such delicate operations.

It seems that the dream of having zombies as chefs has been shattered for the time being.

Bai Li sighed and prepared to give up.

Rather than wasting your energy on this rotten wood,

How about...

A cold light flashed in her eyes.

Kill it and recycle possible crystal core fragments!

Just as she was about to cut off the mental connection and launch an attack,

Something strange happened suddenly!

On the other side of the street,

There came a sound of heavy and orderly footsteps!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Unlike the staggering and dragging of ordinary zombies,

Instead, it has a weird sense of rhythm!

Bai Li's heart was filled with alarm, and he immediately crouched down and looked out through the gap in the broken wall.

At the end of the street,

Three zombies wearing tattered clothes, their bodies obviously stronger than ordinary zombies,

They are marching in relatively orderly steps.

Like a guard,

A figure in the middle walked slowly towards them!

It was a male zombie wearing a tattered white coat and broken gold-rimmed glasses.

Unlike other zombies that are rotten and hideous,

Although its skin was pale and gray, it was relatively intact and only slightly decayed.

The weirdest thing is its eyes.

No longer muddy and godless,

Instead, it flashed with an extremely faint but heart-pounding blue light!

Its pace is neither fast nor slow, with a strange calmness.

It seemed as if he was not wandering in the ruins of the apocalypse, but patrolling his own territory.

Bai Li's pupils suddenly contracted!

My heart is pounding!

Zombie King!

This is definitely the Zombie King!

Possess wisdom?

Or at least have strong mental control,

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the guarding posture of the three strong zombies.

A thought struck Bai Li like lightning.

Crystal core!

The crystal core in the zombie king's body,

It must contain powerful mind control abilities!

If you can get it...

The problem of controlling zombies by yourself will be solved!

You may even gain more powerful psychic powers!

Bai Li's breathing suddenly became heavy.

An unprecedented burning light burst out from his eyes!

But the next second, great fear gripped her again.

The aura emitted by the three guard zombies,

They are much stronger than ordinary zombies and are definitely not to be trifled with!

The zombie king in the middle,

Although he didn't seem to have direct combat power, his deep blue eyes made her tremble in the depths of her soul!

Extremely high mental power!

Fight hard?

She and two cats against three enhanced zombies and a psycho zombie king?

The chances of winning are slim!

[Encounter a suspected Zombie King and his guards! The target crystal core is extremely valuable!]

Please make your choice:

[Option 1: Retreat immediately! Abandon the target! (Risk: Missing the powerful crystal core and being targeted by the opponent's mental perception. Reward: Weak Spirit +1, Basic Concealment Skill Enhancement (Concealment effect and range slightly increased))]

Option 2: Try to outmaneuver! Use the environment to create chaos, distract the guards, and surprise attack the Zombie King! (Risk: Extremely high. The Zombie King's mental perception is sharp, and the guards react quickly. Failure will put you in a desperate situation. Reward: Weak Spirit +3, Spirit +2, and a boost to the primary sprint (slightly increased duration and speed))

Option Three: Fortune and wealth are sought through risk! Join forces with Fat Orange and Sanhua to launch an all-out assault, targeting the Zombie King! (Risk: Fatal! The guard zombies are powerful, and the Zombie King's mental counterattacks are unknown, making it easy to wipe out the entire group. Rewards: Mind Control Strength +2 (significantly boosts mental control), Spirit +3, Weak Spirit +5)

The virtual light screen flashes wildly!

Every option comes with huge risks!

Option 1? Retreat?

Bai Li looked at the zombie king's eyes that were flashing with a faint blue light, and her heart was filled with strong unwillingness.

If you miss this opportunity, you may never get the chance again!

And the risk of being locked and tracked by mental perception is even greater!

Option three? All-out assault?

Too reckless! The aura of the three zombie guards made her tremble with fear. Fighting head-on would definitely be suicide!

Option 2! Outsmart!

Although the risk is extremely high, at least there is a possibility of success!

And the rewards are generous, especially the Spirit +2 and the primary sprint boost, which are crucial for survival and subsequent actions!

"Choose two! Outsmart!"

Bai Li made a decision instantly.

[Congratulations on choosing 2. The reward will be issued after the task is completed.]

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

The brain was working rapidly and a plan quickly took shape.
