Maoming City.
Gou Tou Ling, in the southern suburbs.
A large number of survivors gathered here.
This is the headquarters of the [Emperor] organization. Although the location is excellent, it is still in the wilderness with very few buildings.
They live in thatched huts and tents that they built themselves, or simple container houses.
Even leaders are no exception.
The containers are just a bit bigger and look more spacious.
Right now.
Inside the largest container at the back of the assembly area.
A young man who was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old had a head of cool green hair and wore gold earrings.
He was wearing a green trench coat.
He had three Tang swords of different colors hanging at his waist.
The younger brother, Ayu, said in a low voice, "Boss, not long ago... the Dawn Society wanted us to merge with them. What are your thoughts on that?"
Without a second thought, Zhang Kuang said, "Merge in? On what grounds? I painstakingly integrated almost all the survivors in Maoming City, and he just casually says... that he wants to merge us [Emperor] in? What a pipe dream!"
"but……"
Ah Yu cautiously said, "Boss, the Dawn Society has also offered very good benefits, saying that as long as we join the Dawn Society... we will receive a large amount of food for free. The food in our settlement is getting less and less."
"Moreover, without electricity, many foods cannot be stored, and sooner or later... people will be unhappy."
"I know! I'll send people to the city to scavenge for food," Zhang Kuang said impatiently.
After a moment's hesitation, Ayu suggested, "Boss, this crimson fog is getting thicker and thicker, and it's starting to affect visibility... If you really want to send people into the city to scavenge for food, it's best to go sooner rather than later."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Zhang Kuang narrowed his eyes.
"Your subordinate dares not. The team that went out to scavenge for supplies a few days ago just returned and said that in the month since the red mist appeared, the zombies have become stronger and stronger... I suspect this may be another natural disaster."
Ah Yu said in a low voice, "As you know, in the past few natural disasters... each time the zombies evolved afterward, and recently many members with poor physical condition have shown symptoms of colds and fevers."
"If this continues..."
"Our base camp really can't hold out for much longer, so it's better to gather food as soon as possible and find some medicine to treat everyone. The longer we delay, the worse it will be for us."
"Understood."
Zhang Kuang pondered for a moment.
I also think that what he said makes a lot of sense.
So he ordered more than ten squads to go out and scavenge for food and medicine.
"..."
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Zhang Kuang thought for a moment, then stepped out of the container.
Ah Yu followed behind, looking at the increasingly dense crimson fog in front of him, he became more and more uneasy: "Boss, we don't know how long the blood fog will last, but I suspect that the zombie king in the city may attack us first, after all, the Dawn Society withdrew from the city a month ago."
"They're attacking us?"
Zhang Kuang was a little skeptical: "It can't be that bad, can it? The terrain here is treacherous, mostly steep plank roads. Those stupid zombies can't get up here. There isn't even a path on the back mountain, so don't even think about it."
"Ah Yu, I think you're worrying a bit too much, aren't you?"
"..."
Ayu fell silent.
What the boss said actually makes sense.
Even an enemy force ten times larger might not be able to conquer this place. Would that Burning Slaughter Zombie King really launch such a large-scale zombie horde for a mere few hundred thousand people?
The blood mist has only just begun...
Even if we want to wipe out humanity, shouldn't we at least wait until the blood mist ends?
But.
I don't know what happened.
He always had a bad feeling.
Just as the two were standing at the entrance of the settlement, several figures suddenly came running over in a disheveled state. They were a hundred-man squad that had just come down the mountain to scavenge for supplies.
only……
Of these 100 people, one actually managed to escape.
The man, with a severed arm that appeared to have been bitten off, cried out in terror, "Boss, something terrible has happened! A horde of zombies is coming... Ran Shi is leading its horde of zombies to attack!"
"What did you say?!"
Zhang Kuang was shocked: "How is that possible? Those plank roads are all so narrow, how did they get up there?"
"Boss, the zombies didn't use the plank road at all; they climbed up the mountain directly."
"climb mountains?!"
"Yes, they don't care about falling off the cliff and dying; they just pile up hundreds of thousands of corpses to make a road."
"!!!"
Zhang Kuang was utterly shocked.
These zombies are actually so ruthless?
But why? Why did they attack so suddenly?
We used to live in peace and harmony.
Ah Yu said in a low voice, "Boss, now is not the time to hesitate. Quickly get everyone to pick up their weapons and prepare for defense."
"Yes, yes, quickly start defending!!"
Zhang Kuang also realized what was happening and turned to gather everyone.
Everyone held weapons and waited on the mountain for the zombies to arrive. In less than ten minutes, countless zombies surged down the hillside.
The quantity is extremely large...
Although not all of them were used, there were still three to four million zombies.
Looking at the densely packed zombies, the members began to panic even before the battle started. They had no experience fighting such a large number of zombies, and some were even trembling with fear.
Fortunately...
The leader of this organization is not entirely without merit.
"Don't be afraid! With me, Zhang Kuang, here... these zombies won't succeed! Follow me and kill them all!!"
Zhang Kuang drew two Tang swords from his waist.
With a hint of ruthlessness, he charged into the horde of zombies, leading the charge.
Click! Click!
One cut after another.
One by one, zombie heads fell off.
It must be said that the leader personally taking to the front lines to fight the enemy inspired everyone.
then……
They weren't so afraid anymore.
Unfortunately, the number of zombies in front of them was dozens of times greater, and the blood mist made the zombies' combat power unusually abnormal.
The battle hadn't even lasted half an hour.
Everyone was exhausted, and casualties began to rise sharply.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly unfavorable, Ayu turned to Zhang Kuang, who was killing zombies, and said, "Boss, the blood mist is amplifying the zombies too much. If this continues... we're destined to lose."
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"Kill the zombie that commands them from behind. Once it's dead, even if there are still some zombies with burning lamps, they won't be able to command all the zombies to concentrate their forces. Then we still have a chance to turn the tide!"
"Alright! I'll kill the zombie commander."
Zhang Kuang showed no fear whatsoever.
Gazing at the dense horde of zombies before him, his gaze fixed on a zombie commander standing atop a tree trunk hundreds of meters away.
This zombie is strange.
It turned out to be a female zombie, and her appearance was no different from a human's.
She wore a white V-neck wedding dress and a white veil, and was quite beautiful. At first glance, she looked exactly like a human.
