Chapter 112
"They've built a nest inside."
Jiang Hanyu sat back in his chair, crossed his legs lazily, and watched Yi Tu getting dressed with bright eyes.
Yitu was stunned when he heard this, "Have you seen it?"
The man nodded. Due to the presence of reconnaissance zombies, they would be discovered immediately before they could get close to the zombie army, let alone enter the zombie tide.
But Jiang Hanyu is not restricted by this condition. After all, his wings have incredible flying capabilities.
Generally speaking, after a tide of zombies emerge, they will not stagnate in the middle circle like this. They will quickly retreat to the silent area and return to their leader to receive spiritual comfort.
But now, this group of zombies not only did not leave, but instead built a nest inside.
Zombies build nests to house and protect the zombie king, whose body is relatively fragile.
"Do you know which zombie king it is?" Yitu frowned slightly.
"I can't see clearly." Jiang Hanyu paused while teasing the coal balls. "There are too many, and..."
“Not necessarily one.”
"Yun Yao plans to abandon the city. If that happens, we'll be the only ones left to face the next wave of zombies." Yi Tu looked at the man and asked:
"What do you think Xincheng should do then?"
Hearing this, Jiang Hanyu raised his lips slightly and said calmly:
"What's the essential difference between abandoning and defending?"
Yi Tu didn't understand, and it took him a while to realize that this person was responding to what he said about Yun Yao abandoning the city.
Sure enough, Jiang Hanyu continued:
"Since Xincheng is in your hands, you can keep it if you want to, or abandon it if you want to."
"Yun Yao has a way out, don't you have one?"
Yi Tu was deeply moved when he heard this, but before he could say anything, the man regretted it and changed his words.
"Why defend? Just abandon the city."
"What good could the Night King send?"
The more Jiang Hanyu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he sneered.
Yitu: “….”
"Do you want to come back to Yancheng with me? My room is quite big." The man looked at Yitu with a presumptuous look and smiled with malicious intent.
Yitu didn't know for a moment whether he was angry or ashamed, or he seemed to have no emotions at all. Maybe he had already become numb to this person.
"The window is over there, do you want me to open it for you?"
"You're welcome, darling." Jiang Hanyu was still lying on the chair without moving, with no intention of leaving at all.
A trace of helplessness flashed across Yitu's face. The longer he spent with this person, the more he understood his temper.
When Jiang Hanyu is not doing anything wrong, he is intimidating without being angry. He looks like a god who can only be admired from afar and not desecrated.
But once he makes a mistake, he becomes a bastard, a bad guy, and a thief who disturbs you and makes you upset.
Since the man didn't want to leave, Yitu naturally couldn't drive him away.
In fact, he was almost accustomed to Jiang Hanyu's presence. The two of them lived under the same roof and chatted casually.
"There seems to be a zombie king that has been dormant for many years in the Silent Territory. From the system's description, it seems very powerful."
Yitu paused holding the pen and looked up at the man who was teasing a cat with an energy core.
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be a battle."
"The birth of the White Undead might be the result of the overflowing energy of the Zombie King's core."
Yi Tu lowered his head again and marked the location on the hand-drawn map. It was more like he was confirming the facts with himself rather than talking to Jiang Hanyu.
The man didn't reply, and Yitu didn't look at what he was doing.
After a long while, Yitu called out the man's name.
"Hanyu."
"Hmm?" Jiang Hanyu responded lazily with his eyes narrowed.
He lay on Yitu's bed, holding the coal-brick that was determined to leave in his arms, and the bedding was filled with the faint fragrance of his spouse.
"Will your mental state be affected by the White King?"
The White King is the zombie king that can continuously create white undead. The system judges that his mental power is far superior to that of other zombie kings.
The man lying on the bed had closed his eyes at some point. Coal Ball broke free from his embrace and jumped onto his master's desk, tilting his head with curiosity in his eyes.
Yi Tu turned his head to glance at Jiang Hanyu, and thinking that the man was asleep, he did not disturb him any more.
Unexpectedly, it was only after a long while that the man's voice, which sounded somewhat sober, was heard in the room.
"Maybe."
Yitu's hand paused as he wrote.
Two more days passed, and this was the fourteenth day of the linkage competition.
Three huge nests have already appeared in the zombie group outside the middle circle, and their nest-building behavior has finally stopped.
The wind blew through the bare trees without making any sound. The sky was dark and the sun was not visible. Silence was spreading.
Xu Heng stood on the watchtower. He looked at the empty Yaocheng, and then at the endless black mass of zombies.
"Even if it's the calm before the storm, this is too long."
Ou Cheng, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement. In fact, they all knew that the storm was about to come.
The zombies stopped attacking before because they were concentrating on building their nests and had no time to take care of them.
Now that the nesting work has been completed and the three zombie kings have arrived, a new war is about to begin.
Yitu originally thought that these ghosts would wait until the fifteenth day to take action, but who knew that they would regain the power of the Zombie King and could not hold back and launched an attack on the night of the fourteenth day.
The golden energy shield of Xincheng kept flashing with missing light. It was the zombies entering the city through the aperture, exposing their location.
The faces of those awakened by the alarm showed a sense of impending suffering.
Some of them went up to the artillery positions in an orderly manner and activated the penetrating cannons to prevent more zombies from crossing the line, while the others went up to the city road.
Yitu stood on the watchtower and looked down. Countless zombies swarmed towards him. Most of them were killed by penetrating cannons or killed by players on the city road.
Twenty minutes passed, and not only did the Zombie King not show up, even the white undead who always took the lead did not appear.
The artillery can't keep roaring for a long time, they don't have that many energy cores to consume.
The zombie king who is in control of the situation obviously knows this, so they are trying to delay time as much as possible.
If the energy cannon stops working, Xincheng will fall instantly.
This is not the result Yitu wants to see. In his plan, the decline of Xincheng is inevitable, but even if it declines, the last bit of value must be brought into play.
"We have to find a way to force the Zombie King out." Yi Tu said in a deep voice.
"What can we do?" Xu Heng was also very anxious. "Unless we can't take it down for a long time, can we hold on?"
Yitu glanced at him and said, "Then use your wits to defeat him."
Under Yitu's command, the penetrating turrets began to be closed one by one.
Seeing that there were only four penetrating cannons left that were functioning normally, one of them was quickly extinguished.
As zombies surrounded the city, their attacks became more and more fierce.
Yitu led someone up the city road quickly. At this time, the road was littered with broken flesh and body parts, all of which were zombies that tried to climb up and were chopped off by the players.
"Why did you shut down the penetrating cannon?" Ou Cheng asked, breathing heavily, his face covered in blood and a sickle in hand. "We can't stop them. Unless we die here!"
Yitu didn't give any extra explanations, his face calm, "Hold on a little longer."
Hearing this, Ou Cheng's face showed a hint of anger. "What do you mean by hold on a little longer? How long?"
"I can die here fighting for you, but what about them?"
Ou Cheng pointed at the team players in the distance who were obviously getting scared, and with a swing of his arm, he cut off the head of a zombie that rushed towards his face.
A drop of blood splashed onto his eyelid. Yitu blinked and said in a deep voice, "You have to believe me."
Ou Cheng looked at him without saying anything, just growled and turned to pounce on the zombies behind him.
"Walk."
Yitu took Keke to the city wall. The little girl was very brave and did not show any fear at all along the way.
You Ke, who had received the notice, was already waiting for them on the city wall. Seeing that the person coming was a weak little girl, he asked in surprise:
"Didn't we say we were going to force out the Zombie King? Just the three of us?"
"No, it's you two." After Yi Tu's correction, You Ke was even more unbelievable.
On the contrary, the little girl named Coco was very confident. She looked at You Ke with a somewhat critical look.
"Use your enhancement card on me, quick."
You Ke looked at Yi Tu doubtfully, and only after Yi Tu nodded did he release his enhancement card.
You Ke's card can not only strengthen skill cards, but also strengthen weapons, body and even mental strength. It is the kind of icing on the cake.
In the Nightingale team, the usefulness of this card will mostly be reflected in two people, namely Ou Cheng and Xu Heng.
After the former's weapon is strengthened, the Death Scythe will split into two blades, with the same strength as the first one.
When the latter's skill card is strengthened, Xu Heng can command all NPCs in the card field.
Coco sat on the railing of the city wall, looked at the swarm of zombies about ten meters below the city, cleared her throat and began to chant.
Her skill card, Moon Chant, can hypnotize monster NPCs while adding a layer of Moon Shield to her side.
The Moon Shield is very thick and can resist 50% of damage.
But because Coco's skill card takes effect too slowly and cannot be interrupted in the middle, sometimes this card is useless.
If Yitu hadn't found her, she would have almost forgotten the existence of this skill card.
The reason why Yitu knew this so clearly was that he had seen a video on a forum of a little girl using a lullaby to lull a scary ghost baby in her arms to sleep.
That little girl is Coco.
They must contain the zombie horde in a short period of time, thus forcing the zombie king to show up.
Coco's lullaby was the least costly trick Yitu could think of.
The zombies piled up one on top of the other and climbed up the city wall at an extremely fast speed. After a while, the wall was densely covered with zombies.
On the city roads, more and more zombies jumped into the city, or pounced on the players with ferocious faces.
The moment Ou Cheng's sickle was about to chop down, he could hardly lift it up because too many hands were tightly grasping the blade.
Xu Heng's timely arrival saved him from this predicament. Taking advantage of the moment when the zombies were confused, the man harvested their heads.
At this moment, a girl's clear and gentle singing voice came from the top of the city wall, with an inexplicable effect of soothing people's hearts.
Ou Cheng subconsciously looked up at the city wall, but Yi Tu was no longer there.
Coco's singing soon took effect. The zombies on the city wall gradually began to move slowly, and some of them even closed their eyes unable to resist.
Two minutes later, the ladders clinging to the city wall began to collapse on a large scale, and the scene was very spectacular.
How could the players who were still on the city road and had not yet evacuated miss such a good opportunity and commit their crime with a fire?
But the sea of fire did not last long, and its energy was soon absorbed by several fire zombies.
The figures of the white undead once again descended over the long-assailed city of refuge, their white eyes staring coldly and mercilessly at the humans below.
The powerful mental control enabled them to quickly awaken the sleeping zombies, and Coco's singing became useless.
The appearance of the white undead was exactly what Yitu wanted.
White undead are different from ordinary high-level zombies. They are rarer in number, and sometimes their status is even similar to that of the zombie king.
If they start dying one after another, the zombie king in the lair will not sit idly by.
The white undead soon discovered Yi Tu's location, and a large number of zombies began to rush towards him frantically.
It was probably because Yitu killed their companions with his own hands that they were very afraid of him and did not dare to stand in front of the zombie tide at the first moment.
But it is obvious that no matter how many zombies there are, they cannot stop Yitu's indiscriminate mental attacks.
The white undead on the far left was the first to break through the defense. After the white veil faded, its fragile body was exposed in the air, and the bayonet instantly pierced its upper jaw.
This scene happened so quickly and so shockingly that the other white undead were stunned for a moment and then chose to retreat without hesitation.
The zombie army suddenly lost its balance, and Coco's singing sounded again on the city wall.
This is a dead end set up by Yitu himself. As long as the Zombie King does not appear, this dead end cannot be reversed.
Shortly after the white undead evacuated, the first zombie king was finally forced to leave his lair and head to the front line.
While Yitu was harvesting the zombie heads, he glanced down and saw a zombie king with a bloated body and a very long and thin neck.
A yellow energy core as big as an egg was embedded under the zombie's Adam's apple, emitting a strange light.
The Zombie King Lao Ge.
At this time, it had been surrounded by many zombies and was about a hundred meters outside the city wall. Yitu then remembered the extraordinary talent of this thing.
"Cover your ears! Cover your ears quickly!"
However, it was still too late. Yitu's cry was lost in a sharp and piercing cry.
This kind of crying seems to be able to penetrate the human soul, cutting and crushing it, and the ears become deaf the moment they receive the sound.
Even Yi Tu, who had covered his ears in advance, was not spared. The severe dizziness forced him to hold on to the city wall to barely stabilize his shaky body.
The feeling of nausea surged up like a tide, and he covered his mouth and couldn't stop retching.
When he recovered, he looked down with tears in his eyes and saw a tide of blood approaching.
Yi Tu's heart sank, and he subconsciously flipped down the city wall. The power of the wind ring could not be fully exerted, and he had to fall to the ground in embarrassment.
He quickly got up and saw that his companions had escaped from the city in time, and he felt relieved.
Xu Heng fell on Ou Cheng. He was not seriously injured, but Ou Cheng, who was acting as a cushion, was shocked and bleed.
"Let's go!" Yi Tu forced himself to run over and together with Xu Heng, he pulled the man up. "The city gate will be broken in a moment."
This group of injured players were quickly taken to a safe place by several people hiding in Xincheng.
The gate of Xincheng was pushed down with a loud noise.
They all gathered in this small research institute, and everyone's face had an indescribable complex emotion.
It's not depression, not frustration, nor despair, but a subtle excitement and excitement.
"Brother Red Queen, will Lao Ge enter the city as planned?" Coco couldn't help but ask.
When Yi Tu heard this name, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face.
"Yes." He didn't say too much nonsense and looked very confident.
"Are you sure your plan is foolproof?" Ding Rong thought for a moment and then said:
"Xincheng has been breached now, and there are zombies everywhere. We will be found soon. There is no need for the Zombie King Laoge to come in."
Yitu glanced at him and smiled: "You can question my ability, but you really shouldn't question the efforts of all of us to achieve this."
"Even the white undead don't dare to confront me head-on, so why should the ordinary zombies do the same?"
There are two reasons why the zombie king Lao Ge will definitely enter the city. One is that the white undead have hated Yi Tu so much that they must find Yi Tu and kill him.
Such a thing cannot be done by the white undead, so only the zombie king Lao Ge can do it.
The second reason is also very simple. Yitu stopped the penetrating turret in advance in order to convey a wrong message to the white undead that their energy cores have been exhausted.
In this way, with the biggest threat gone, the city no longer has any weapons that can kill zombies.
It's not just Lao Ge who will let down his guard, all zombies that still have intelligence will let down their guard.
The trap that Yitu had painstakingly set up had come to an end.
Even if we can't keep this city, we can just kill a zombie king and sacrifice the city.
Yi Tu looked at the surveillance screen and walked step by step towards the zombie king Lao Ge who was within the shooting range of the penetrating turret, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The moment he pressed the start button, the program that had been set in advance began to run, and twenty-four penetrating turrets launched precise sniping attacks.
The sound of bombing echoed through the silent night, and Lao Ge's sharp and miserable cries were short and intense.
Twenty-four penetrating shells hit it, and it was blown into pieces in the blink of an eye. Along with the many high-level zombies around it, they were instantly reduced to ashes.
Inside the research institute, the shock on everyone's faces had not yet faded, and Yitu's faint voice brought them back to their dazed consciousness.
"Let's go, next stop is Yancheng."
Just when Yitu was about to open the door, Xu Heng suddenly said:
"Wait! The King of Spades seems to be coming!"
Yitu was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to look at the display screen.
The man's figure flashed in the firelight, as if he was looking for something.
