At King Kong's speed, the distance of less than one kilometer can be covered in less than a minute.

Upon noticing the approaching King Kong, the Zombie King also manipulated the zombies to surge towards King Kong.

The horde of corpses under its control resembled organized soldiers, forming groups that directly hindered King Kong's movements.

Hundreds of zombies piled up into small hills over ten meters high, which even King Kong couldn't break through directly.

Moreover, Huang Zhao and the others were on its shoulders, so it had no choice but to slow down and swing the alloy iron rod to disperse the pile of corpses and move forward slowly.

Despite the Corpse King's control, the difference in level was difficult to bridge with sheer numbers, and soon King Kong charged into the center of the horde of corpses.

Huang Zhao's mental perception had been scanning the horde of corpses ever since it made contact with them.

However, they never found the zombie king hiding among the zombies, and even the collision of their mental perceptions never happened again.

"Did they run away?"

Huang Zhao was a little confused. They hadn't done anything yet, and they had already run away?

At this moment, the horde of corpses surrounding King Kong seemed to have lost control, lacking their previous organization.

It charged toward the massive King Kong out of sheer instinct.

"King Kong, run around the edge of the horde of corpses."

Huang Zhao was still unwilling to give up, so he commanded King Kong to start running around the horde of corpses, wanting to search again.

Huang Zhao's mental perception range has reached nearly 700 meters.

If the Corpse King is only level three, his perception range cannot be greater than his.

The sensation of collision between the mental perception areas of fellow ability users of the same type did not disappear until Huang Zhao came into contact with the horde of corpses.

It's impossible for the Corpse King to have already escaped this area by now.

King Kong circled the horde of corpses for nearly half an hour, and Huang Zhao had already explored the entire area inside and out.

They didn't miss a single zombie that might be abnormal, but they still couldn't find the figure of the zombie king. Huang Zhao was a little discouraged.

The huge commotion caused by King Kong attracted a continuous stream of zombies to rush out of the city.

"Did it really get away?"

"Brother Huang Zhao, could it have run off to the city?"

Huang Zhao looked at the horde of corpses that kept pouring out; the number seemed a bit abnormal.

"Let's go!"

Since the Corpse King was not found, Huang Zhao stopped worrying about it.

The horde of corpses pouring out of the city is most likely being manipulated by a zombie king.

If we get surrounded by zombies in a little while, and with the zombie king controlling us, things will get really troublesome.

The number of zombies inside Jin City is far greater than the tens of thousands of zombies on the outskirts.

If he were to enter and search for the Corpse King like this, Huang Zhao couldn't guarantee that he would be able to escape safely.

Based on the previous collision of sensory areas, this zombie king is probably around level three.

"My power level is higher than yours now, so there's no chance you'll ever surpass me again. I'll come back and deal with you then!"

Now that we've confirmed the existence of a zombie king here, we can find and kill it after returning from Yangcheng.

"Let's get out of here first!"

Seeing the increasing number of zombies, Huang Zhao said to Jin Gang.

King Kong was also somewhat angry, swinging the titanium alloy rod in his hand, feeling frustrated by the fruitless trip.

They quickly broke away from the horde of zombies and returned to the highway.

Only now did Ning Chuxia ask with some curiosity:

What is a Corpse King?

"Did you notice anything unusual about those zombies just now? They were all controlled by the Zombie King and were under his command."

"You mean you can control zombies? Are there even such zombie species?"

"Yes, I can actually do it, but the cost is too high, so I won't try it easily."

"If that's the case, is it possible that this Corpse King wasn't originally outside this city?"

"Um?"

Huang Zhao suddenly realized that his superpower allowed him to transfer his mind to the minds of creatures under his control.

Therefore, the Corpse King, being a spirit-based being, could obviously do the same.

However, he is limited by the fact that he may be influenced by the mindset of the controlled organisms.

Controlling low-level zombies is almost no burden for the Zombie King.

The Zombie King can control tens of thousands of zombies to act as its clones whenever it wants.

Only then did Huang Zhao realize just how troublesome this Corpse King was, but the Corpse King's abilities must also have some limitations.

It's like he only gained parallel consciousness after reaching level four, allowing him to control two bodies simultaneously without hindrance.

Before the Zombie King broke through to level four, it was very likely that he had simply transferred his spirit into a zombie.

Then, he manipulated the zombies on the outskirts of the city using his clone.

"This zombie king is incredibly intelligent!"

Ning Chuxia was somewhat amazed after hearing Huang Zhao's explanation.

"We'll deal with it when we get back. We can't let any of the zombie kings we find get away!"

"I believe that Brother Huang Zhao can definitely do it!"

Setting aside their worries about the Corpse King in the Golden City, Huang Zhao and his group continued their journey.

........

After leaving Jin City, Huang Zhao continued towards Qu City.

Before the apocalypse, Quzhou was a city with a population of over two million.

After hesitating for a moment, Huang Zhao finally decided to cross the city directly.

We spent too much time guiding the wolf king earlier, and the journey is already a bit rushed.

If we take another detour, we might not even make it halfway today.

As for continuing the march at night, Huang Zhao decided to assess the situation before deciding whether to continue.

Even though night vision has a much smaller impact after becoming a superhuman, it still weakens one's strength to some extent.

For mutated beasts or other zombies that operate at night, the night has no effect whatsoever.

With the ebb and flow of power, even if the two sides were originally of similar strength, they could still be defeated unexpectedly.

Ahead, the outline of Quzhou City came into view in the distance. Huang Zhao said to Jin Gang:

"King Kong, charge straight at them!"

"Roar!! A real man charges forward bravely."

King Kong raised his hand, and instantly the alloy rod appeared in his hand, as if it had conjured it up.

It wasn't just King Kong who was getting used to Huang Zhao's fighting rhythm; Huang Zhao and King Kong were also developing a better understanding of each other.

"It's strange that in his previous life, Chen Run had hardly ever heard of any mental-type powerhouses."

With such a powerful ability, even with a low awakening rate, someone should still be able to survive...

Huang Zhao indeed had many doubts about this.

However, there was no clue at the moment, so Huang Zhao could only put it aside for the time being.

Once inside the city, the number of zombies was significantly greater than on the highway in the wilderness.

Although it couldn't pose much of a hindrance to the massive King Kong, it felt like walking through a forest of corpses.

It can really get your blood pumping, making you want to jump down and fight the horde of zombies.

Huang Zhao activated his full mental perception area and located the Level 3 zombies that might pose an obstacle to King Kong.

Use mental attacks to interrupt their attacks in time.

Unlike King Kong, they cannot use their size advantage to quickly move through hordes of corpses.
