Chapter 601 Retreat Under Intimidation
When the hydrogen bomb was introduced, the fat man was the first to exclaim in surprise, "Holy crap, holy crap!"
Han Shuo and his group also looked at Qing Yu in surprise. They had never seen this thing in this guy's hands before.
Feng, though his expression remained unchanged, also let out a strange look that went unnoticed by others, before slowly sheathing the short blade in his hand.
He never imagined that these last Allied reinforcements would possess such a terrifying nuclear weapon as a hydrogen bomb.
However, now that the hydrogen bomb has appeared, everything that follows becomes much simpler.
It's not impossible that everyone present could escape unscathed...
...
On the other side, the Zombie King's expression finally changed completely upon seeing the hydrogen bomb.
He was not afraid of bullets or grenades because they could not penetrate his tough skin and could not cause him any harm.
He was not afraid of bombs or missiles either, because at the moment of detonation, he was confident that he could escape the center of the explosion.
As for the aftershocks, for him, they were nothing more than a passing breeze.
but!
The hydrogen bomb, such a terrifying nuclear weapon, is indeed the only thing the Zombie King fears besides the wind.
Because this thing has such a huge killing range. Once it is detonated on the spot, depending on the amount of TNT it contains, the explosive yield will instantly turn tens, hundreds, or even thousands of kilometers around into scorched earth.
No matter how fast he was, he could not escape the center of the explosion. No matter how strong his body was, he could not withstand such terrifying destructive power!
...
The Zombie King knew perfectly well that if the hydrogen bomb in front of him exploded, he would surely die.
He remained silent for a moment, refraining from ordering his death legion to attack, and then spoke coldly.
"Do you really dare to do this?"
"snort!"
Qingyu snorted angrily and continued shouting, "What wouldn't I dare!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling Zheng Deliang behind him to jump directly onto the transport vehicle.
As soon as that legion of death dares to rush over, Zheng Deliang will immediately detonate the hydrogen bomb!
...
The emergence of the hydrogen bomb seemed to suddenly make the situation more optimistic, but the atmosphere became even more tense.
The Zombie King narrowed his eyes, took two steps forward, and spoke.
"You should know that there is black blood in my heart."
"This thing is your last hope for rebuilding civilization."
"Hehe." Qingyu gave a bitter, self-deprecating laugh.
He knew that, on the surface, the war in the apocalypse was a war between humans and the zombie king, but in reality, it was a war between humans and the Ice Crystal Virus!
The disappearance of the black blood means that the ice crystal virus inside the zombie creatures can no longer be eliminated.
Even with the existence of inhibitors, humans can only live forever in this world filled with ghouls.
...
At this moment, the Zombie King looked at Feng and then at Han Shuo.
"Today, I only want to kill one person. I promise you, if you leave this person alive, everyone can retreat safely, including... Number 1!"
"Is it worth destroying humanity's last hope with your own hands for this person?"
At this moment, he was not afraid of the detonation of the hydrogen bomb, and he no longer had any fear in his heart.
All he wanted was an answer from the other party!
...
"Is it worth it? Is it worth it..."
"The disaster you have brought has already caused the deaths of countless humans."
"I've had enough of this endless life on the run, and so have my brothers behind me!"
Qingyu gradually became agitated: "You just asked me if it was worth it to destroy humanity's last hope for Han Shuo? Okay, I'll answer you now!"
He turned and pointed at the fat man and the others, shouting in a trembling voice.
"They! They are all Han Shuo's best brothers!"
"If I agree to your request, I will leave him here and lead everyone to safety."
"When his brothers come and question me about why I didn't save Han Shuo back then, can I tell them... wasn't it worth it?"
...
As Qingyu finished speaking, a strange feeling arose in the heart of the Zombie King.
Once upon a time, when he was still a human being, before he followed Yue Zongyang into the underground research institute, he also had brothers like Han Shuo by his side.
However, they all later died in the ice crystal virus that he brought about...
He didn't speak, but Qingyu, having regained her composure, spoke again.
"Han Shuo, you've been kind to me..."
"He saved me more than once, and he helped everyone present more than once!"
"Without him, we would probably be dead already..."
"I've struggled with a similar question before, but today, I just want to follow my truest feelings."
"My decision might destroy humanity's last hope, but!"
"I! Do! Not! Regret!"
Qingyu shouted those last four words with a strong and clear voice!
...
At this moment, Xiao Zhao and his group were already moved to tears.
Han Shuo's eyes gradually became moist.
He knew that his older brother had been under immense pressure when he made this decision for him...
The scene suddenly fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, the Zombie King slowly raised his head, looked towards the distant horizon, and calmly uttered a sentence.
"Okay, I understand..."
He did not order his death legion to attack. After looking at the sky for a while, he slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, it's unclear what he was thinking...
...
On the other side, Qingyu quickly came to her senses.
With a look of ecstasy on his face, he turned around and gestured to the people behind him.
The soldiers began to retreat slowly, and Han Shuo and his group, feeling as if they had survived a disaster, excitedly followed the flow of people and joined the retreat.
As for the wind, it was the last person to turn around and leave.
He was covering the rear for everyone...
During this time, the Zombie King remained standing still with his eyes closed, and the legion of death behind him did not move.
...
Soon, Qingyu led the main force and gradually disappeared into the distance.
Before leaving, Han Shuo turned around and glanced at the zombie king in the distance.
At that moment, the Zombie King slowly opened his eyes. The two looked at each other, and a cold voice entered Han Shuo's ears.
"Your name is Han Shuo, kid? Fine, I'll remember your name!"
...
And so, this impending war came to a complete end with the deterrence of a hydrogen bomb.
Everyone evacuated safely. The zombie king gazed in the direction they had left, his face expressionless, neither smiling nor hateful, his heart neither sad nor happy.
At this moment, he seemed to see the ending of the game, and also seemed to foresee his own fate.
He sighed with relief, "Heh, humanity, humanity..."
"This is humanity, such a sentimental and selfish being..."
"I'd give up everything for one person!"
"For the sake of their own race, they would rather destroy the whole world than... rather let other creatures take over their control of the world."
