Chapter 112 Something's Wrong When It Happens

They cleared away the zombies as they slowly moved forward with the zombie horde.

The closer they got to the germplasm bank, the denser the number of zombies became, no less than when they went to the central area.

Fortunately, they are now all level 5 ability users, so they are no longer helpless against these zombies.

One by one, the superpowers were unleashed, and the zombies around the convoy fell one after another, without significantly affecting the convoy's speed.

Lei Zhe led the charge, using his lightning-based powers to kill the zombies in front of him. The clearing truck crushed countless corpses as it slowly moved forward.

"Sister, these zombies are going in the same direction as us, also heading to the germplasm bank. What are they doing gathering at the germplasm bank?"

They had never heard of such a situation before.

Zombies have no intelligence and don't throw parties, so why do they gather together?

Qiu Zhiyi used his water-based supernatural abilities to push the zombies surrounding his truck further away, so as not to affect his driving.

"Something's definitely up to no good. There must be something going on at the germplasm bank. We'd better be careful."

Meng Shiwan frowned and thought for a long time, only able to come up with one possibility: "The Zombie King."

She had never seen the Zombie King in her previous life, but she had heard people in the base talk about him.

The Zombie King can control the ordinary zombies around him and launch attacks, making him extremely difficult to deal with.

She had only heard of the Zombie King a few times in her previous life. The Zombie King was very powerful, but its evolution conditions were also very demanding, and it rarely existed.

But those only started to appear three years into the apocalypse.

It's only been a little over a month since the apocalypse began, how could a zombie king possibly evolve?

Tao Yarong asked, "Sister, what is a zombie king?"

Meng Shiwan explained, "Zombies can evolve, much like superhumans. After evolving, zombies gain intelligence and their own unique abilities. Their strength is also divided into levels based on their degree of evolution."

The higher the level, the stronger the zombie king. The zombie king can control the actions of ordinary zombies, and these zombies heading to the germplasm bank are very likely to be summoned by the zombie king.

Upon hearing this, the group became tense.

The name Zombie King sounds pretty powerful.

They had just become level five ability users and thought that zombies would no longer pose any threat to them. Now they were finally free from the worry of being killed by zombies one day.

Before they could even enjoy their triumph for two days, another zombie king capable of evolving appeared.

These zombies have no intelligence at all, so how could they evolve?

In her previous life, Meng Shiwan was an ordinary person who had to exert all her strength even when facing the most ordinary zombies and never had the chance to see the zombie king.

Whenever the people in the base mention the Zombie King, they look terrified, saying that it is very powerful and that even superhumans are no match for it.

As for just how powerful the Zombie King was, Meng Shiwan wasn't quite sure.

The group dared not underestimate their enemy, and for the rest of the journey, no one chatted idly; they all vigilantly observed their surroundings.

The germplasm bank consists of only one building, covering a vast area, and looks like a behemoth from a distance.

The convoy pushed through the dense horde of zombies and stopped at the entrance of the germplasm bank.

Meng Shiwan observed the situation outside. All the zombies were gathered here, their heads packed together so tightly that there wasn't even a gap.

They were everywhere—in the lobby inside the building, and on the plaza and streets outside.

The zombies howled and shoved each other, scratching and clawing at each other, looking quite excited, as if responding to something.

Looking up, you can see the shadowy figures of zombies inside the windows upstairs.

This building is probably crammed with zombies.

Apart from that, no other abnormalities were observed, nor was there any sign of the zombie king.

Lei Zhe stopped his joking and rambling and became serious for once. "Sis, should we charge in?"

If this place were filled with ordinary zombies, they wouldn't be afraid even if they were piled up like a mountain.

Having learned of the existence of the Zombie King, they had to proceed with caution.

Before Meng Shiwan could speak, a huge flame shot out from the hall inside the building.

Zombies, head to head, were burned to death in droves.

In that short time, three people rushed out from inside.

The surrounding zombies, smelling the blood, instantly became agitated and pounced on the three of them.

At that moment, the nearby zombies were suddenly frozen into ice sculptures and torn to pieces on the spot.

They used fire and ice powers alternately to clear a small vacuum zone, giving the three a chance to escape.

All three were men, covered in bright red blood, clearly human blood.

The bullets and grenades at their waists were all empty. One of them walked in the middle, clutching his abdomen. As he ran, blood kept gushing out, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured.

Lu Yu gritted his teeth, keeping a watchful eye on whether anything was chasing him, while also trying to tear open a gap in the dense horde of zombies that surrounded him to escape.

This was extremely difficult for these low-level ability users; they could easily die here if they weren't careful.

Just as he was panicking about how to survive the zombie horde, he looked up and saw a row of vehicles ahead of him.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an old acquaintance.

"Leizhe, help us out, hurry, there are ghosts chasing us."

Lei Zhe: !!!

He was also shocked to see Lu Yu. Without time to ask them how they got there, he quickly used his lightning-based ability to kill the zombies within a radius of dozens of meters around the three of them, giving them a chance to catch their breath.

Lu Yu and his two companions were initially overjoyed to have encountered acquaintances and found a way to survive, but were immediately met with a tremendous shock.

The three watched helplessly as the zombies, which were baring their teeth and claws and trying to bite them to death within a few dozen meters, suddenly collapsed to the ground, charred black.

They were all terrified.

It's not surprising that lightning-based superpowers can kill zombies.

But who has lightning-based superpowers that can kill zombies within a radius of tens of meters? That would require an incredibly powerful superpower.

The three of them turned to look at Lei Zhe, their eyes wide as saucers.

Lei Zhe shouted, "What are you standing there for? Get in the car!"

The zombies swarmed in again, and the three reacted quickly and ran to the car.

Lu Yu got into Lei Zhe's driver's seat, while the other two got into An Jiewen's driver's seat.

Lu Yu squeezed into a seat with Lei Zhe, and his first words were, "When did your superpower become so powerful? What level of superpower user are you now? Judging from the range of your attacks, you must be at level five, right?"

Lu Yu and his two companions knew Lei Zhe, Tao Yarong, and An Jiewen.

They were previously in the same rescue team at the base, and their relationship was fairly good.

We used to practice together and were very clear about each other's abilities.

Back then, they were all low-level level two or three ability users. How come Lei Zhe's strength has increased so much in just a few days, and he has become a level five ability user?

This is outrageous.

Faced with Lu Yu's intense gaze, Lei Zhe knew he absolutely couldn't reveal the team's secret.

He changed the subject, "Let's not talk about that for now. You just said that a ghost was chasing you. What's going on?"

At this point, Lu Yu's expression turned somber. "Our mission this time was to transport the seeds here. We initially thought the mission wouldn't be too difficult. The germplasm bank is in the suburbs, where there are few people and few zombies, so the danger shouldn't be too great."

However, collecting seeds is more important, so they sent more superhumans. Our team originally had eight people.
