Chapter 116
After the ninth level zombie tide was reported, all protective equipment in Yancheng was activated immediately.
However, before the players in the city could wait for the arrival of the first small wave of attack, the ninth-level zombie tide suddenly turned into a tenth-level zombie as it advanced.
Such a change was both unexpected and reasonable, as it was already the last seven days of the linkage competition.
All the remaining teams must do everything they can to survive in these final seven days, otherwise, if they are eliminated, all their efforts will be wasted.
Although the eliminated teams will receive participation rewards as long as they are in the top 150 of the rankings, compared with the teams that have not been eliminated, not only are their rankings much worse, but their rewards are naturally greatly reduced and very small.
In last year's autumn joint competition, the Nightingale team was eliminated without even making it into the top 150.
This was a shame, and Gu Yongnian never mentioned it. The other members of the team shared the honor and disgrace, and it was difficult for them to speak of it either.
In today's autumn competition, thanks to the addition of Queen of Hearts Yi Tu, the Nightingale team has more than made it into the top 150.
Their current ranking is firmly at fifth place, with a team score of more than three million, only a few hundred thousand points behind the fourth-placed Red Sparrow Team.
If nothing unexpected happens, they can successfully survive this zombie wave, and it is only a matter of time before Nightingale surpasses Red Sparrow.
Gu Yongnian was determined to win this. Except for him who was more concerned about the ranking, the others dining at the long table all focused on this level ten zombie tide.
They all knew very well what the last seven days meant.
This is probably the final battle between the Silent Realm and humans. A level 10 zombie tide means that all zombies in the Silent Realm will participate in this war.
Those who hid in the city of refuge would die if the city was destroyed.
Nightingale's lunch made everyone feel upset, not only because of Gu Yongnian's words full of ambition and desire, but also because their dining table was shaking slightly.
This was a sign that a level 10 zombie tide was pressing into the center circle, and the earth instinctively trembled as they advanced.
After finishing his meal, Yi Tu went to the guardhouse of Yancheng with Xu Heng and others.
Yancheng is much larger than Xincheng. There are two guard towers at the east and west gates. The towers are more than 20 meters high, enough to clearly see the swarms of zombies outside the city wall that are like locusts passing through.
They first went to the guardhouse on the side of the west city gate, but they didn't expect that the two guardhouses were already full of people, all of whom were team players who were concerned about the zombie tide.
There was no other way, so Yitu and his companions had to spend another ten minutes walking to the East City Gate.
There were far fewer players on the guard post on the east gate side than on the west gate side, because the members of the Demon Fang Team were standing there discussing something seriously, and the other teams had been driven away.
Yi Tu spotted Jiang Hanyu's tall and straight figure among these people at a glance. The man was talking to his deputy captain Wei Zhou. His handsome profile was coated with a layer of dazzling golden light under the sunlight.
Jiang Hanyu frowned slightly, as if he had encountered some difficult problem, or was in a bad mood. His thin lips were kept tightly pursed, and he was too lazy to say any extra nonsense, leaving Weizhou alone talking to himself.
Yi Tu took a look and was about to look away, but at this moment, Jiang Hanyu, who was standing on the watchtower, seemed to have noticed something and suddenly lowered his head.
Their eyes met unexpectedly. Yitu was stunned for a moment. For some unknown reason, he did not look away quickly, but just stared at the man.
Jiang Hanyu smiled, like the gentle spring scenery revealed after the ice and snow melted.
Beautiful and rare.
This reminded him of Jiang Hanyu's cold, pure, yet lustful kiss. His thin lips were hot, yet so soft.
Yitu felt his heart skip a beat, but he remained calm on the surface and quickly looked away.
"Is Spade King looking at us?" Xu Heng was a little unsure. "Why is he smiling?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yitu's eyes, and then he denied it calmly:
"I don't know. I'm not familiar with it."
Xu Heng was happy to hear this. He didn't say anything else, but skillfully opened the team's viewing area, and indeed gained a lot of happiness.
Anonymous player 3847: Huh? Not familiar? That bastard is smiling at you, damn it!
[Anonymous player 4790: Hahahahahahahaha I'm dying of laughter, brother above you have a narrow mindset, you should say the Big Devil isn't smiling at the Red Queen, you're going to eat shit for a year!]
[Anonymous player 3749: ....burp, I'm fucking full just listening to you guys talking!]
Anonymous player 8753: What are you laughing at? You think you can seduce my husband like this? You annoying little devil!
Anonymous player 4769: "From now on, please stick the label of double standard firmly on Spade King. One second he had a face that looked like he was going to eat me, and the next he was smiling like a flower. I'm so annoyed (lighting a cigarette.jpg)."
Anonymous player 4638: My turn, my turn! I know this one! The previous second, Big Devil: So annoying! Li Ming: What the hell are you talking about? The next second: Hey, wife!
[Anonymous player 4866: ...Fuck it, fuck it, please stop talking, I'm fucking visualizing it. I'm a straight guy, but I also think this damn love is kind of sweet??? ]
Anonymous player 4638: Sigh, if you don't work hard when you're young, you'll end up being a CP when you're old... (tragic.jpg) Are there any rich women out there? I'm super strong!
Anonymous player 5342: Gigi, giegie, can I? (shy.jpg), I can last a long time, half an hour. I like your firmness! (jumping for joy.jpg)
[Anonymous player 3321: Ahhhhh help, help, someone save my eyes!!]
[Anonymous player 3847: Good brother, you ate shit without making me vomit. I have to say you succeeded (vomit.jpg)]
Originally, there were members of the Demon Fang Team on the two guardhouses. Yitu wanted to go up, but he was afraid that those guys would call him "sister-in-law" without any respect.
So Yitu hesitated for a while, and all the members of the Demon Fang on the left guard platform came down, so they could go up.
Xu Heng sighed, "We're lucky. They haven't had lunch yet, right?"
Yitu: “….” This guy almost made him lose everything.
After they went up to the watchtower, they saw the horrific scene of the tenth-level zombie tide approaching.
Densely packed zombies stood on the line between the middle circle and the inner circle. They did not cross the line, but all stared in the same direction with expressionless faces.
That is the direction of Yancheng.
"They are not planning to be the first to attack Yancheng, are they?" Ou Cheng frowned.
Lu Nan shook his head. "Yancheng is the strongest of the remaining three cities. Moreover, Miaocheng and Sencheng are not far away. Their motives are hard to fathom."
"There's something very strange." Xu Heng looked at Yi Tu and frowned slightly. "Where is their leader?"
In such a huge and almost endless zombie army, there is not a single white undead zombie or a conspicuous zombie king.
"Yes, this is unreasonable." Shen Hao also agreed.
"Who is controlling them?" Xu Heng was stunned.
Yi Tu frowned and said nothing. In fact, the equipment in Yancheng was much better than those in other cities. There was a set of energy detectors on the watchtower where they were now, which was used to detect abnormally high energy fluctuations in the zombie tide.
If the energy threshold is higher than 1, it means that there is a zombie king in the zombie tide.
But now, on the display screen of this highly sensitive detector, which can sense the middle circle range, there is a clear red number, 0.
Such a simple number shows that there is either no zombie king in this zombie tide, or there are more advanced beings.
At first, Yitu thought that the first situation was unlikely to happen. After all, there were 14 zombie kings in the Silent Realm, and only eight of them had died so far.
There are seven other beasts, except for the Yinchuan King, with whom Yi Tu and his team had just started working together, the rest have not shown up.
This time, the zombie tide must be caused by all the zombies in the Silent Realm being mobilized, which will cause the highest level of zombie tide.
"There is no zombie king." Yitu said in a deep voice.
"What?" Xu Heng was stunned.
These zombie armies that stopped at the center circle did not build nests, which means that there might really be no zombie king among them.
Yitu didn't explain too much, "Look into their eyes."
Xu Heng was confused when he heard this. The zombie tide was already some distance away from them, and they could only vaguely see a rough outline from a high place.
But when he really looked closely at the zombies' eyes, he was shocked.
"White pupil? How could it be white pupil?"
"The white undead we encountered before were actually mutants formed by the energy overflowing from the energy core of the supreme zombie, the White King."
Yitu frowned and speculated. His thoughts were always terrifyingly clear.
"Before the joint tournament began, and even for a long time after it began, the White King fell into a deep sleep and never woke up."
"But now, I'm afraid it's not the case."
The White King has always been an unknown and terrifying existence. You must know that the Silent Realm was a complete country before it fell asleep, and it had been a very long time since it gave birth to an energy core of the current Zombie King level.
The reason why the energy core cannot be born is also very simple, just like what Yitu and others saw in Yinchuan Wangchao Academy.
The White King also keeps zombies in captivity, causing them to constantly fight each other to produce energy cores, which he then consumes.
But if it continued to operate like this for a long time, the energy core produced would become less and less, and it would be increasingly unable to make up for the consumption during the White King's activities, and it eventually fell into a deep sleep.
A few years after the White King fell into sleep, more and more zombie kings appeared, and the Silent Realm began to split, leading to the current situation.
"They look...like white undead zombies." Lu Nan said in a deep voice.
Yitu glanced at him and said, "In essence, they are different from the white undead."
"Let's go, there's nothing more to see."
He had almost figured out the general situation. Although Xu Heng and the others didn't know it very clearly, they didn't ask too much. Yi Tu would tell them after returning.
A few people got off the guard stand, and the Demon Fang Team on the other side also came down.
Yitu didn't even glance at them and quickly walked away with his men.
The situation at this moment is not optimistic. Yi Tu initially thought that the white undead that appeared in the previous two waves of zombies were independent individuals.
Until today he saw the scene before him.
There is nothing wrong with saying that the white undead are mutations caused by the energy overflowing from the White King's energy core. However, their mistake is that they mistakenly believe that the white undead are also a type of zombie.
In fact, they are not, they are just the eyes of the White King, its alternative.
They had long lost their minds, and all their actions and thinking abilities were controlled by the White King.
This is why the white undead do not have high-intensity combat capabilities, but are almost on par with the zombie kings.
When the sleeping White King realized that he could not win the game relying solely on the Zombie King who was born later, he made the choice that he thought was right.
It used the control ability of the white undead to kill all the remaining seven zombie kings. After absorbing the energy cores of the seven zombie kings, the white king finally woke up.
It turned out that before this war broke out, a bloody reshuffle had already taken place in the Silent Realm.
Originally Yi Tu thought that this war would also start at night, but who knew that not long after he left the watchtower, twenty minutes later, the White King launched the first siege.
The shrill alarm sounded continuously over Yancheng, and the players who ran out of the dormitory building all had stunned expressions on their faces.
How could it come so quickly!
The sun was high in the sky, and the scorching sunlight left the ugly zombies nowhere to hide.
They headed towards Yancheng, and split into three waves along the way, heading towards Miaocheng and Sencheng on the left and right respectively.
Half an hour later, Yancheng's penetrating cannon was forced to start the program.
On the guard post at the East City Gate was a familiar figure to the members of the Demon Fang Team. Their captain had a gloomy expression on his face, his hands resting on the guardrail.
Yitu knew without thinking that if he looked down from there, he would only see a tide of zombies with white pupils.
Some of them still have energy cores on their bodies, while others do not, but there is no doubt that all zombies, whether they had their own consciousness before or not, are now controlled by the White King.
"It's all disgusting white." A trace of disgust flashed in Wei Zhou's eyes.
"How many zombies can the White King control?" Shen Yueshu's expression was not very good. "Thousands and tens of thousands?"
Even Yun Yao, the Queen of Diamonds, cannot have such a large number of God-level temptation cards.
"Far more than that." He Zixi leaned against the guardrail with his arms crossed, frowning slightly: "If his abilities were just a little abnormal, it would be fine. It's not like I can't beat him."
"The problem is that its ability is not an ordinary ability." Shen Yueshu continued his words.
"It's the ocean." Qian Xiangxiang murmured absentmindedly.
The spiritual realm was like an ocean, causing her to be completely submerged the moment she released her perception.
It was so suffocating that I could hardly regain my senses. It was a sea of heavy, irresistible oppression.
Jiang Hanyu glanced at Qian Xiangxiang, whose face had obviously turned a little pale, and frowned.
"Don't mess around. You haven't used cards for eight hundred years. What are you going to use now that you remember to use them?"
Qian Xiangxiang smiled embarrassedly and said nothing. Initially, she was recruited into the Demon Fang by her captain because she had a card that could purify negative emotions.
Although the members of the Demon Fang Team are very strong, each of them has a lot of negative emotions.
It wasn't just Jiang Hanyu who was deeply troubled, becoming irritable and manic, and sometimes even losing control and going crazy in the game.
The same was true for Wei Zhou, the deputy captain. For a period of time, he became so sick that he had a perverted desire to drink blood whenever he saw it.
As they become stronger, the shadow of the game keeps appearing on them.
Maybe it has something to do with skill cards or weapons, or maybe it's just about mental state.
Shen Yueshu, who was the Blood Blade, couldn't sleep all day and night not long after he upgraded his skill card to the God level for the first time.
He sat at the head of his bed, holding a knife in his hand (sometimes a fruit knife, sometimes a kitchen knife), always thinking about melting the knife into his body.
If Wei Zhou had not discovered it in time, Shen Yueshu would have died by his own sword.
They are strong and very sick.
Although they are less likely to get sick, once they do, it can be really scary.
It was under such circumstances that Qian Xiangxiang was brought back to Demon Fang by Jiang Hanyu.
When the little girl faced the Demon Fang members who were sick for the first time, she was so scared that she burst into tears.
This made Shen Yueshu feel very embarrassed. Her wrist was bleeding profusely, and she had to wipe the little girl's tears.
Qian Xiangxiang felt guilty and helpless at the same time.
Because except for Jiang Hanyu who fell ill in the game, most of the others fell ill in reality.
But in reality, they are just ordinary people. Who can she save?
Later, after a long period of treatment, Jiang Hanyu stopped using divine weapons frequently, and his condition improved.
Wei Zhou and Shen Yueshu got through the most difficult times with the long period of mutual support and comfort. They were bound together as husband and wife and became each other's strongest support.
Qian Xiangxiang's appearance had an effect, but soon lost its effect.
She became an idler in Moya. Although she would be kept as long as Jiang Hanyu was happy, Qian Xiangxiang could not stand being a mediocre person.
Later, she also became one of the crazy people and began to feel the illusion that reality and games could not be distinguished.
It was an experience that was neither joyful nor painful.
So this spiritual card, which was only used to comfort patients or catalyze negative situations, was useless for a long time. Qian Xiangxiang put away this card and also put away the long past.
The penetrating cannons were roaring continuously, but the casualties among the white-eyed zombies were not high.
While their consciousness was controlled by the White King, their body bones were also strengthened in disguise.
Penetrating artillery could not destroy them on a large scale, which meant that the war could not withstand the enemy's deliberate delay.
Either they kill the White King as soon as possible, or they fall in the tide of zombies.
Taking advantage of the good sunshine, Qian Xiangxiang mobilized the army of shadows.
Even though these zombies have been strengthened, their fatal weakness is still their neck.
So, Qian Xiangxiang's shadows began a silent resistance. Under the sunlight, some of them were big and strong, while others were small and thin.
But it doesn’t matter. Who can catch a shadow?
Bai Tong died because of Shadow's betrayal. Before long, a thick sea of corpses piled up under the walls of Yancheng.
