Corpse Emperor?
The supreme ruler among zombies?
Fat Tiger looked at the ambitious Bone Celestial before him and couldn't help but be impressed, bowing his head in submission.
Even the Corpse King has submitted.
The elite zombies under his command also stopped saying anything more.
Although most zombies are intelligent, their IQ is not high... Their thoughts are very simple. Having a stronger zombie king to lead them is a good choice, as it means more human food to eat.
Fat Tiger thought for a moment and asked, "Lord Ainz, what is your next plan?"
"It's simple, deal with humans."
Without hesitation, Gu Tianle said, "We need to take down all the humans in Hongcheng City first, replenish some food supplies, and then take the rest we can carry with us. We can let them reproduce for a long time to provide food for the zombies."
"Although the number of zombies under your command is not more than ten million, it is still several million. The so-called survivor alliance is no match for you... Why has it taken so long to defeat them?"
"Because a bunch of disgusting long worms are blocking the way."
"A worm? What worm?"
"Mutant earthworms."
Fat Tiger said with a face full of resentment, "The mutated creatures in this city are mainly earthworms. Although those worms are not as large as us, they live underground and are difficult to deal with. Every time we have a large-scale battle with humans, those disgusting long worms come to stop us."
"They don't care about small-scale conflicts, they just stay underground and don't go anywhere. This state of not helping either side has lasted for more than half a year, which means that the zombies haven't eaten a human for a long time. I was planning to suck on that bone for half a month."
"Mutant earthworms?"
Gu Tianle frowned: "When these earthworms were hindering you, were they targeting zombies or humans? Or both? Were any zombies or humans killed by the mutated earthworms?"
Fat Tiger hesitated for a moment before saying, "There are definitely zombies."
"After all, in a three-way battle, there will inevitably be some damage, but I haven't paid much attention to whether humans are involved. But they should all be the same, right? Because those earthworms have a very ordinary diet."
"Without rotting flesh... they can eat dirt or gravel most of the time, and they don't have much emotional connection with humans, so there's no reason for them to protect humans specifically, right?"
Gu Tianle shook his head: "No, no, you're wrong."
"How can feelings be formed without feelings, especially among mutated earthworms, a species with no subjective conflict with humans, especially after a full six months... under the influence of the blood mist, humans remained unharmed?"
“This is clearly not normal. I suspect that the human survivors here may have secretly formed some kind of cooperative relationship with the mutated earthworms.”
"Do we need to investigate?" Fat Tiger asked.
"unnecessary."
Gu Tianle's eyes were cold: "Whether we cooperate or not is not important. In a few more hours, my zombie army will arrive. Neither mutated earthworms nor humans can stop us."
Although Gu Tianle commanded a horde of hundreds of millions of zombies.
However, the blood mist has not completely dissipated yet, and not all of them are level 5 zombies or above. Moreover, many of the zombie hordes were infected along the way, and they are all low-level zombies... The travel speed is very slow.
Let alone a few hours, it might take a whole day to reach Hongcheng city.
While the intermediate zombies of levels four to six are not slow, in order to maintain the overall situation and prevent them from being defeated one by one at dawn, they can only be made to migrate at a constant speed, and they will not arrive until at least the early morning.
The rest are all high-level zombies of level seven or above.
But there are only a few thousand of them. As for level eight? Because too many level eight zombie kings have been killed, there are only a few level eight zombies left, such as Mantis, Fat Tiger, Burning Lamp, and Charming Corpse.
If it's just about dealing with humans...
These few thousand high-level zombies are actually enough.
However, there are still over a million mutated earthworms in number. Even if they win against the high-level zombies under their command, the losses will likely outweigh the gains. So it's better to play it safe.
Fat Tiger has a question.
As a level nine zombie king, why doesn't he take action himself?
With such formidable strength, a mere million mutated earthworms are utterly ineffective against it. Unfortunately, in Gu Tianle's view, such an operation to wipe out these small fry is not worthy of its personal intervention. If it were to intervene, it would have to be an eighth-level zombie king or a ninth-level awakened one.
Or perhaps...
Only a formidable rival like the Dawn Society would suffice.
Hehe, I, Gu Tianle, am going to be the Zombie King. Do you think those mere earthworms and worms are worthy of my attention?
...
...
It's 10 p.m.
One hundred kilometers east of Hongcheng City.
A large horde of mid-level zombies advanced step by step toward Hongcheng.
Leading the way was a level six lamplighter and an executioner. They traveled at full speed without any distraction, paying no attention even when passing through several villages and towns where a few humans were hiding.
In the jungle.
Three figures were lurking stealthily in the shadows.
Observing the zombies' every move, they were all dressed in black, with the Dawn Society's standard badge on their chests.
They were all members of the intelligence department.
They walked on the front lines of danger, where a single misstep could mean death.
However, for these intelligence agents, death is the most liberating way. If they cannot commit suicide and are captured and tortured, the zombies' cruel methods are enough to make anyone wish they were dead.
The three figures were not all human.
The first one is named Lin Xiaoxiao, a Level 6 Awakener.
The superpower system belongs to the water element. It is good at both combat and disguise. It can hide in water for a long time and conceal its presence from outsiders. It is the squad leader of this intelligence team.
