I Branch Out in the Apocalypse

The apocalypse comes suddenly.

Zhang Lin is trapped at home, and food is about to run out.

A system suddenly appears!

Marrying and having children will grant generous rewards.

...

Chapter 48: Was it you who lured the Corpse King here?

For an ordinary person, it would be difficult to dodge the Corpse King's attack. Although the Corpse King's movements were slow, its speed was not slow due to the immense force it possessed.

Fortunately, Zhang Lin's physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, and his reaction speed was also much faster than that of ordinary people. Every time the Corpse King launched an attack, he would start to dodge.

"Old Chen, do me a favor." After dodging once, Zhang Lin hid behind a car and quietly approached Chen Zibo, tossing him the blue potion. "Drink this stuff, then help me catch someone!"

Once the Corpse King lost Zhang Lin's sight, it turned to attack An Qingge. An Qingge was even faster; she slowly used a kite-like attack to delay the Corpse King and buy time for Zhang Lin.

"Is there anyone else here?" Chen Zibo looked around. The Corpse King's destructive power was too great, and the scene was a mess. Even with his experience as a scout, he couldn't find any trace of anyone else.

"Yes!" Zhang Lin said confidently, "Find this person for me quietly, without letting anyone see you!"

“Okay!” Chen Zibo agreed without hesitation.

Then Zhang Lin appeared and took over from An Qingge, drawing the Corpse King's hatred. He activated the Dragon Might Aura. The Corpse King, being a powerful creature, was not affected by the aura and instinctively felt a surge of anger towards Zhang Lin, attacking him recklessly.

Chen Zibo drank the blue potion without hesitation, and in an instant, he felt a surge of energy flowing through his body.

"Extraordinary power!"

He immediately understood.

Chen Zibo felt deeply grateful to Zhang Lin.

The pink-haired man was incredibly fast, exceeding the limits of ordinary people, and could even dodge bullets. The pale blue potion was found on him, and it's highly likely that this potion was what made him so fast.

Zhang Lin originally planned to take it home and let Ji Yuetong take a look before deciding who to give it to. He himself didn't think much of this simple potion and might sell it later to earn contribution points.

But at that moment, he gave the medicine to Chen Zibo.

It's all to find out who's behind this.

He deliberately lured the zombies towards Zhang Lin. If Zhang Lin hadn't braked in time, the zombie king might have stepped directly onto the roof of the car, and both Zhang Lin and An Qingge might have died.

Zhang Lin didn't forget this grudge even when he was fighting the Corpse King.

That's why he gave the medicine to Chen Zibo and asked Chen Zibo to secretly find out who the person was.

Chen Zibo had been in the car the whole time. After he got out, he hid behind the car. The mysterious person probably didn't know Chen Zibo was there. If the mysterious person hadn't left, he might have been caught by Chen Zibo, who had increased his speed.

At that time, Zhang Lin wanted to teach him the price of offending him!

Chen Zibo, a former reconnaissance soldier, briefly adjusted to his newfound strength after the drug took effect, and then began his operation using the stealth and reconnaissance skills he had learned in the army.

Meanwhile, the mysterious man frowned slightly. "Something's not right. The Corpse King is quite intelligent, so why is it relentlessly attacking that man despite the flames engulfing its body?"

The Corpse King was engulfed in flames, and it was right for it to try to extinguish the fire with its hands. However, at this moment, it seemed to be completely enraged by Zhang Lin and attacked him recklessly, ignoring the flames continuing to burn on its body. The rotting flesh and grease on its body provided ample space for the flames to burn.

Before long, it will be burned into a huge skeleton.

However, fueled by the hatred emanating from Zhang Lin's aura of power, the Corpse King only wanted to kill Zhang Lin as quickly as possible, even disregarding the fact that his own body was being burned.

That is, the Corpse King.

If it were any other creature, being burned by flames all over its body would be excruciating, let alone killing someone.

Zombies have almost no sense of pain, which is an advantage—they are fearless—but it's also a disadvantage. For example, right now, it has no idea that it's about to die!

"No, I have to find a way to intervene!" The mysterious man couldn't stand it anymore. His best idea was for the Corpse King, Zhang Lin, and An Qingge to fight to the death, and then he would clean up the mess, kill the Corpse King, and then force him to reveal the secret of the extraordinary.

But judging from the current situation, Zhang Lin and An Qingge will not be harmed even after the Corpse King is burned alive.

The mysterious man dared not provoke two extraordinary individuals in good condition.

battlefield.

Zhang Lin took advantage of his small size and agility, leading the Corpse King around in circles. Victory was imminent, and it would be foolish to fight the Corpse King head-on now.

An Qingge stopped attacking the Corpse King at this point. She simply stood not far away, her eyes fixed on Zhang Lin. She was his insurance policy; if Zhang Lin overreacted and made a mistake, she needed to be able to help him in time.

As the flames on the Corpse King grew stronger and its attacks became weaker, the mysterious man grew anxious.

"Damn it, I have no choice but to take some risks!"

He murmured something.

If he left now, Zhang Lin would have no way to deal with him, but people are greedy.

"The strength they displayed far surpasses the simple potions from before the New Era. It's like a true transcendent template. I must obtain the method for awakening transcendent templates from before the New Era!" The mysterious man muttered to himself, finally convincing himself.

He began his operation, quietly shifting his position behind a pile of ruins, slowly approaching Zhang Lin and the Corpse King.

This caught Chen Zibo's attention.

This area is quite large. If the mysterious man had remained hidden, Chen Zibo would have had to search little by little. But the mysterious man started to move around on his own, and Chen Zibo caught him instantly.

"Got you!" Just as the mysterious man crouched down and approached Zhang Lin and the Corpse King, Chen Zibo suddenly attacked. With a speed that even he himself was not used to, he instantly appeared behind the mysterious man and smashed the back of his blade into the mysterious man's head with all his might.

"Holy crap, there's also... Sixth Brother!!" This was the only thought the mysterious man had before he fainted.

Chen Zibo grabbed the mysterious man by the collar and walked towards Zhang Lin.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lin finally wore down the Corpse King to death.

The enormous body crashed to the ground, leaving hardly any flesh on its body. The white bones were burned red and black, with only the head remaining relatively intact.

"Qingge, cut off the Corpse King's ear and take it back to the city lord to claim your reward," Zhang Lin shouted. An ordinary zombie's ear could be exchanged for one contribution point, so what about the Corpse King's?

With a red-tasseled spear in one hand and a cleaver in the other, An Qingge walked to the Corpse King and began to work.

Zhang Lin then beckoned to Chen Zibo, signaling him to bring the mysterious man to his side.

The mysterious man remains unconscious.

Zhang Lin was too lazy to wait for him to recover on his own, so he grabbed his hair and slapped him a dozen times.

A moment later, the mysterious man slowly awoke.

He felt a sharp pain in his cheek and looked ahead in a daze, only to meet Zhang Lin's gaze.

Zhang Lin couldn't hold back and slapped him twice more, cursing, "Damn it, you're the one who led the Corpse King here?"
