Chapter 115 Shadow King
Area 1, Command Center.
Shadow King, recognized as the strongest human being, was staring at the map projection, frowning in thought.
The map projection occupies an entire wall, showing the appearance of the planet after it is unfolded. It shows that the purple area of "high risk", the red area of "danger", the yellow area of "alert", and the cyan area of "caution" occupy most of the map, which correspond to the control areas of the fifth-order, fourth-order, third-order, and second-order zombies respectively.
The abandoned city where Jiang Li first landed was in the yellow "alert" area on this map.
Of course, the third-level zombies there have disappeared now, and the yellow standard has not been met, so it should turn into cyan. However, in this era, information transmission is very difficult, and the map has not been updated yet.
The four-color areas are spread all over the world, which means that most areas of the planet have become zombie gathering places.
There are only five "safe" white areas, representing the five major areas of humanity. The white area around area one is the largest, equivalent to the sum of the white areas of areas two and three.
Although the white areas are said to be safe, they are not absolutely safe. Humans once had eight white areas, with a total of eight fifth-level warriors protecting the eight cities.
But humans are not the only ones who have level five warriors. There are also many level five zombies. The wisdom possessed by level five zombies is enough for them to formulate some strategies, such as cooperating with other level five zombies to attack human urban areas together.
This is how Districts 6 to 8 fell.
As for the three fifth-level enhancers, two were dismembered and eaten by zombies, and one turned into a fifth-level zombie.
The most troublesome thing about zombies is not how powerful they are, but how infectious they are. If it weren't for the antibody drugs that have been developed today to save people who haven't completely turned into zombies, the human territory would be even smaller.
"If the five districts unite, the safety of all mankind can be guaranteed."
The Shadow King sighed. The strategy of promoting the integration of the five districts has yet to bear fruit, and now something worse may happen. Humanity is like a candle in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time.
The Shadow King's attention is not on the land, but on the ocean.
The zombies that caused the global fall of humanity came from the ocean, and now the zombies that are causing the extinction of humanity also come from the ocean.
Remembering the ocean report brought back by the reconnaissance team, Shadow King opened his palm and gently rubbed his temple with his thumb and middle finger.
The color of the ocean is black, which means the unknown.
The other fifth-level enhancers don’t care about the ocean. They believe that the most dangerous whales have already come ashore and there will no longer be zombies in the ocean that are capable of subverting humanity.
They also have their reasons. In the past ten years of the apocalypse, the ocean has not seen a disaster as big as the whales coming ashore. What crawled ashore were just some relatively powerful marine zombies, which posed little threat.
The Shadow King has always been wary of the ocean. He feels that some unknown changes must be happening in the ocean, so he sends troops to investigate.
Only two of the team of ten fourth-level enhancers returned alive. They brought back both information and bad news.
Sixth-order zombies will be born in the ocean.
"But this is also an opportunity for unity." Shadow King wanted to think optimistically. The other four fifth-level enhancers had never believed that there was danger in the ocean. Now they had solid evidence, so they had no choice but to believe it. The five of them could go to the sea together to prevent the birth of sixth-level zombies! "But Longtu, that bastard..."
The Shadow King thought of the dragon map of District Three, and murderous intent gradually grew. This man was simply a scum among scums, greedy for pleasure, and enslaving others. If it weren't for the fact that he was a good fighter and District Three needed his protection, he really wanted to kill him.
Except for Longtu, the four of them are trying their best to restore the original order of mankind.
"Report!"
"Come in."
The subordinate who entered the command center said respectfully to the Shadow King: "King, District Three is here."
The Shadow King frowned and scolded his subordinates: "Speak properly, what do you mean by District Three is coming? Can District Three grow legs and run over here?"
The Shadow King's energy was vigorous, hot and blazing, which was a great pressure on others. Now it was even worse due to his emotional fluctuations, causing his subordinates' legs to go weak and they almost fell to their knees.
The subordinate swallowed hard and said in an incredulous tone: "There is no long-legged creature. District 3 has flown over and is right outside. You will know if you go out and take a look."
Although he knew that his subordinates would not lie, the Shadow King still could not believe what they said rationally.
When Shadow King walked out of the command center, his eyes widened, and he saw the majestic Sky City flying towards Area 1, he had to believe what he was seeing.
But what is the principle? In theory, you can also move a city, but the difficulty lies in the fact that the city is not a whole, and it is impossible to lift the entire city.
To put it another way, even if the three districts are truly a whole, it can’t be so outrageous!
"Everyone on alert!"
The Shadow King ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle. The means of District Three were unknown, and Longtu was not a good thing either. They could not relax just because it was District Three.
The Shadow King had reason to be on guard. How could District 3 not contact District 1 in advance when moving a city here? !
If the city in District 3 flew over District 1 and then landed... Shadow King couldn't imagine this scene.
The discipline in District One was strict and the subordinates did not panic. They obeyed the orders of the Shadow King and aimed the missiles at the city of District Three, waiting for the Shadow King's order to fire at once.
The Shadow King did not attack rashly. He soared into the sky to see what was going on.
Even if District Three has good intentions, they cannot allow a city to fly over District One. The risk is too great.
However, before Shadow King flew to Area 3, Area 3 slowly descended and stopped steadily near Area 1. The entire process was silent.
"Shadow King?"
A strange man in ancient costume walked out of District 3 with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. He had an otherworldly demeanor and was upright, as if he was in control of everything, like a god who had descended to earth. He was completely out of tune with the end-of-the-world environment where everyone was in danger.
Shadow King's first impression of the strange man was not that of a strong man, but that of a banished immortal.
A man and a woman followed behind him. Apart from her good looks, there was nothing noteworthy about the woman.
The Shadow King looked at Ye Du twice more, and the other party looked up, trying hard to make an expression that said "I've seen a lot and won't be surprised anymore", but in fact it had the effect of "I'm a follower but I'm very arrogant".
Ye Wu felt embarrassed and kicked Ye Du, and Ye Du's expression returned to normal.
The brother and sister were actually very excited, but they had been following Jiang Li and had learned to control their expressions. The Shadow King was their idol, and they had only seen him on the big screen, but now they finally saw him in person.
"Yes, I'm Luo Ying." Facing a strange man, King Ying didn't dare to be arrogant. Maybe it was this man who made District 3 take off. "Excuse me, where is the dragon map?"
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Li." The strange man said with a smile, "As for Long Tu, he is already dead."
…
In Area 1, no matter it was ordinary people who had not been enhanced or those who were at the first or second level, when they saw the Shadow King, they all saluted him, and the Shadow King nodded in response. Jiang Li could see that people had a sense of respect and worship for the Shadow King.
Jiang Li also saw that from time to time, enhancers returned from outside the city with full loads, leaving some brain cores for themselves and exchanging the rest for contribution points, and the price of contribution points was three times that of the third district.
District One has established an Enhancer Union, which provides a communication platform between Enhancers and creates a basis of trust. They can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and form a reasonable team. Although betrayal does occur, the probability of it happening is much smaller than in District Three.
Fresh vegetables, meat, eggs, etc. are all available. The food in Area 1 is the most abundant among the five areas and the price is also the cheapest.
In addition, the Shadow King also asked people to study how to use brain cores more efficiently to produce more powerful people; how to crack the zombie virus; whether people who have turned into zombies have the possibility of changing back, etc.
Jiang Li knew that it was impossible for a zombie to turn back into a zombie. The moment a person became a zombie, he would be completely dead, and even Jiang Li could not save him.
The entire District 1 seemed to Jiang Li optimistic, positive, and full of hope, which was completely different from District 3.
"What I heard is true. District One is indeed a good place." Jiang Li nodded and handed District Three to Shadow King, feeling relieved.
"I took the liberty of bringing the third district here. I hope Shadow King will not be offended."
Luo Ying thought, "Isn't it strange? It's almost the same as not seeing a ghost."
"Your Excellency is the new ruler of District Three?"
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
Jiang Li shook his head: "I have never been a ruler. My personality is not suitable. The previous ruler of District 3 was Longtu, and now it is you."
"Me?" Luo Ying was surprised. He thought that District Three could at most form an alliance with District One. Who would have thought that he would become the ruler of two districts in the blink of an eye.
How can I, a fifth-level enhancer, become the ruler of two districts?
"Your Excellency is..."
Luo Ying asked hesitantly. The scene flying over from Area 3 was too spectacular. It was beyond human power.
"Jiang Li, from another world."
"Other worlds?"
Jiang Li patiently explained to him: "A universe is a world, and there is endless void between each world. You can think of it as blowing bubbles. The world is like a bubble, and the void is like air."
"Then can I go to your world?" Luo Ying looked at Jiang Li with burning eyes. The world where Jiang Li was must be very powerful. He wanted to go to Jiang Li's world to study, and then come back to deal with the zombies.
Jiang Li shook his head and said tactfully: "Your strength is still a little lacking. According to the cultivation system of your world, you have to reach the seventh level before you can stay in the void for a short time, and the eighth level is the only way to cross the void and travel through the world."
“Eighth, eighth level?!” Luo Ying was shocked. He had never heard of the void and didn’t know how powerful the void turbulence was. He thought that as the strongest person at the fifth level with a strong body, there would be no problem.
He had no choice but to give up the idea of traveling through the world.
"But if I can find a tower, your idea of traveling through the world may be possible."
"Tower?" Luo Ying didn't understand. A tower was just a building. How could it help him travel through the world?
This doesn't make sense.
"To be precise, it's a pagoda-shaped Buddhist treasure that has been blessed by the Buddha. But it ran away when it saw me."
"Why?" Luo Ying was curious.
"Maybe it's afraid that I'll cut it open?" Jiang Li said uncertainly. He didn't use much force at the beginning. He just almost broke a few magic weapons. Why did it leave a psychological trauma on the Brahma Tower and make it run away when it saw him?
"Recently I have some doubts about fighting techniques. Sir, you have an extraordinary background, could you give me some pointers?" Upon learning that Jiang Li was a powerful man from another world, Luo Ying changed his address.
Jiang Li laughed. How could he not see that Luo Ying still had doubts about him? What he said was guidance was actually a test.
But it's okay. He thinks Luo Ying is a good seedling. If placed in Jiuzhou, he has the potential to reach the fusion stage. It wouldn't hurt to give him some guidance.
Jiang Li held Luo Ying's shoulders, and before Luo Ying could react, he found himself being taken to an open area.
He immediately gave up his tentative intention, the gap between him and Jiang Li was too big.
Luo Ying put his left palm behind and his right fist in front, and got into a stance.
"Sir, be careful. This move is called the Flying Dragon Shattering Mountain Fist. It can destroy mountains and cut off rivers!"
Luo Ying shouted loudly and attacked with all his strength. This was something he came up with by combining hundreds of boxing techniques with his own physique, observing the mountains and the river, feeling what he felt, and realizing it at the foot of the mountain and by the river. He constantly improved it in the battle with zombies and finally completed it.
The muscles on Luo Ying's back bulged, his limbs were tense, and the friction between muscles and bones made a slight crackling sound.
The toes grip the ground, the ankles push up, the calves straighten, the waist twists, the shoulders, elbows, and wrists exert force at the same time, the whole body is like a dragon's head raised high, majestic and powerful.
As Luo Ying attacked with all his strength, his already vigorous energy and blood boiled to the point of overflowing, which meant that his condition had reached its best, a condition that all fifth-level enhancers envied.
Jiang Li shook his head secretly. It was fine to have strong Qi and blood, but you should try to restrain it and not release it when not in combat, otherwise it would be too wasteful. It was obvious that Luo Ying had too much Qi and blood and could not control it, so it would be sensed by others and make his subordinates tremble.
Jiang Li did not dodge or evade, allowing Luo Ying to punch him.
Luo Ying's fists have always been indestructible. Even a fifth-level enhancer would cough up blood if hit by them. He is not bragging about destroying mountains and breaking rivers, but he has really done it.
But his fist hitting Jiang Li was like hitting the earth. No, it was stronger than the earth. Luo Ying Lingran, when he hit the earth with his fist, the earth would shake. But when he hit Jiang Li, the other party did not move at all!
Luo Ying was knocked back and flew out, but Jiang Li grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
"Constrain the Qi and blood." Jiang Li took action and pressed a few acupoints on Luo Ying.
Luo Ying clearly felt that his uncontrollable energy and blood were returning to his body, and his body was filled with strength.
Luo Ying was overjoyed and was about to thank him, but she heard Jiang Li say, "Throw a punch and remember this feeling."
Luo Ying punched continuously, each punch broke the sound barrier, and was more powerful than before! Although Jiang Li was still unmoved after being hit, he knew for sure that he was stronger than before! What Luo Ying didn't know was that he didn't actually hit Jiang Li. Jiang Li had a layer of power film on his surface, which was difficult for ordinary people to detect, blocking all attacks.
"Thank you for your advice, sir."
Luo Ying paid a great tribute to Jiang Li, which was a favor of guidance and also a life-saving favor, which gave him more hope to go into the sea to stop the zombies from advancing.
"Sir, please be merciful. I know you have no obligation to help us. This is my personal request." Luo Ying's expression was solemn. "Please help us, sir, and help us stop the zombies in the sea from advancing."
"I'm listening."
