Chapter 179 The Original Female Lead Who Was Used as Cannon Fodder 29

Zhao Chenxiao bit his tongue hard, forcing himself to look away.

The taste of rust filled his mouth as he raised his hand, conjuring several wind blades that slashed at the chaotic horde of corpses.

"All ability users, attack the high-level zombies first!" Zhao Chenxiao shouted, his voice carrying with it wind-type abilities and echoing throughout the entire battlefield.

A dazzling array of supernatural abilities poured down like a torrential rain, killing many zombies in the chaos.

Previously, many high-level zombies were difficult to locate because they had ordinary zombie hordes as cover, but now that they are killing each other, it makes it easier for ability users to locate them.

Lin Wuque also controlled the Black Annihilation to take the opportunity to reap the rewards. Countless high-level zombies perished under his Black Annihilation, and even level seven zombies were killed down to only seven or eight.

Finally, the hidden zombie leader couldn't hold back any longer. It roared and suddenly attacked the city wall.

The moment it revealed itself, the long-suppressed terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

His scarlet eyes locked onto Lin Wuque, and his level eight pressure caused the surrounding air to freeze. Many people froze on the spot, unable to move even a finger, their eyes filled with utter despair.

Under Lin Wuque's protection, Ruan Yunzhen did not feel this oppressive aura.

She straightened up and looked at the zombie king.

Its physical mutation was not severe, and its physique was similar to that of an ordinary zombie. Even its clothes were tattered and covered with blood scabs and dust.

Judging by appearance alone, no one would believe that this is a level eight zombie.

It seems that it originally planned to hide among the ordinary zombies and follow the main force to attack the base in order to protect itself to the greatest extent possible.

It can even temporarily shut down its self-awareness, making its mental fluctuations no different from those of an ordinary zombie.

During the previous chaotic battle, it silently hid deep within the horde of corpses, deceiving even Ruan Yun's senses and thus escaping her machinations.

Ruan Yunzhen speculated that it was probably a mental ability.

However, no matter how clever or adept it is at disguise, it is fundamentally different from humans. Bloodlust takes precedence over instinct. Faced with this situation, it does not think of retreating, but of killing everyone who hinders its invasion, with Lin Wuque being the first target.

He killed the most high-level zombies and posed the greatest threat to it!

The zombie king's gaze was fixed on Lin Wuque. Without the slightest hesitation, it transformed into a blur and rushed straight at him, its speed so fast that it left several afterimages in the air.

Lin Wuque's expression also became much more serious.

He stepped forward and shielded Ruan Yunzhen behind him, saying, "Master, wait for me here. I'll go and take care of it right away!"

Having said that, he transformed into a blur and rushed forward, leaving Ruan Yunzhen standing there, tightly surrounded by dense black mist.

Lin Wuque's body was surrounded by surging black energy, forming a rotating black vortex in front of him.

"boom!"

The two afterimages collided violently on the city wall, creating a deafening roar.

Black annihilation and putrid poison intertwined, tearing out blinding energy turbulence in the air.

"Quickly, scatter!"

Zhao Chenxiao hurriedly shouted, using his own special ability to create a protective wall, sheltering everyone on the city wall under his banner.

However, he could not withstand the energy fluctuations of level eight, and in an instant, the barrier was covered with cracks.

Fortunately, with his resistance, the others finally regained control of their bodies and scattered.

Seeing this, Zhao Chenxiao withdrew the energy barrier he had been struggling to maintain and rushed towards Ruan Yunzhen's location.

As they got closer, they realized that he couldn't even get close to people. The moment they reached out, the dangerous radar went off like crazy.

He gritted his teeth and stopped retreating. Instead, he squeezed out the last bit of his supernatural power to build a howling wind wall around Ruan Yunzhen.

He himself was completely exposed to the energy storm generated by the collision of the two level-eight powerhouses, and his combat suit was torn to shreds by the raging air currents.

Ruan Yunzhen stood still and did not say anything to dissuade her.

Her long eyelashes drooped, casting a faint shadow on her fair cheeks.

This human body is too fragile. If Lin Wuque is careless and causes the Black Annihilation Barrier to fluctuate, even if she can use the power of love and desire to protect herself, she will inevitably suffer some pain, and it will also be too wasteful of energy.

With Zhao Chenxiao around, it's like having an extra layer of insurance.

If he were to die, she would provide Hope Base and Zhao Linxiu with sufficient compensation.

Ruan Yunzhen thought coldly.

The city walls groaned under the strain of the energy impact, and rubble rained down.

Ruan Yunzhen raised her hand to brush the dust off her shoulder and turned her gaze to the battlefield not far away.

Two dark figures clashed repeatedly above the city wall, each clash triggering violent energy fluctuations.

Lin Wuque's black venom coiled around him like a venomous snake, but the zombie king's rotting body twisted and deformed strangely, deflecting most of the attack, yet still having inch of flesh scraped away.

Suddenly, its scarlet pupils contracted sharply, and an invisible mental shock swept towards Lin Wuque like a surging tide.

Lin Wuque felt a sharp pain in his head, as if countless steel needles were piercing his brain, and he also experienced a series of hallucinations.

He saw Ruan Yunzhen being grabbed by a zombie and eaten inch by inch, and her shrill screams echoed in his ears.

"court death--!"

Lin Wuque's eyes turned bloodshot, and his reason was completely burned away in that instant.

Ruan Yunzhen was the person he cherished most, and the zombie king's actions had touched a raw nerve.

He let out a long roar, and the black shroud that had been surrounding him seemed to be injected with a frenzied power, expanding wildly in an almost out-of-control manner, rushing towards the zombie king with a world-destroying momentum.

Wherever it passed, even the light was swallowed up, the bricks and stones of the city wall were silently annihilated, and several unfortunate level six zombies that were caught in the blast didn't even have time to scream before turning into wisps of black smoke.

The zombie king was horrified to discover that the mental illusion he had released was being torn apart.

It instinctively wanted to retreat, but was instantly entangled. It frantically released all its mental power to try to interfere, but was backfired the moment it touched the black annihilation.

Black blood gushed from its rotting orifices as it was horrified to discover that its flesh was "melting".

"No!!!"

The roar stuck in its throat, its bloodthirsty nature completely crushed by fear, an unprecedented terror taking over its entire heart.

It struggled to escape, but saw Lin Wuque's blood-stained fingertips slowly rise, and black smoke transformed into chains, tightly binding its limbs and head.

The chains slowly tightened, and Lin Wuque's voice was icy cold, "Dare to touch your master? Go to hell!"

With a final, crisp cracking sound of bones breaking, the zombie king's body was torn apart by five horses!

The black liquid surged wildly into the body parts, corroding each fragment into a foul-smelling black liquid.

The rampaging energy was still raging, and the entire section of the city wall began to collapse.

Just as the black annihilation was about to engulf the defending troops, a melodious and ethereal female voice pierced through the chaos:

"Lin Wuque."
