The system was choked by these words. It stared at the host it had chosen with its eyes wide open, and for the first time, it felt regretful.
"Now, the plot was supposed to be that you evolved into the Zombie King and were then severely injured by humans..." It stuttered a little, "But now you..."
Now all the energy used to evolve into the Zombie King has been taken by Jiang Chuyi for himself.
But she is not a zombie king in the pure sense. At least her physical and mental fluctuations are clearly still within the human range, and she is completely unlike the monster she is supposed to be in the novel.
Jiang Chuyi didn't know what the system was thinking, or rather, whether it was screaming or muttering, she simply ignored the system and didn't listen to its words.
While trying to shake off the blood on her hands in disgust, she looked at the human not far away with burning eyes.
They were still attacking relentlessly, each wave of fire becoming more powerful than the last. However, these artillery fires that should have "seriously injured the Zombie King" in the plot were all blocked without exception after coming into contact with the layer of light that enveloped Jiang Chuyi.
"boom--"
The artillery fire exploded endlessly, and the remaining fire fell into the pile of zombies, stirring up surging flames.
Above the raging fire, Jiang Chuyi was wrapped into a huge fireball, and the heat waves spread out, making all humans feel the strong threat of death.
"She...she should be dead, right?" someone asked tremblingly. "Under this level of attack, even a god should be dead..."
Lu Qianzhi stared at the blazing fireball without saying a word.
"It's not enough! Fight again! Everyone, fight again!" The man who slandered Jiang Chuyi yelled in a shrill voice, his eyes filled with fear and a hint of barely perceptible panic. "Didn't Captain Lu just say that we're going to launch a general offensive? Is this all we can do? What are you all doing for a living? Give it your all! Otherwise, Captain Lu won't give you any food when we get back!"
As soon as this person opened his mouth, everyone around him showed a look of disgust.
The man hid behind Lu Qianzhi with a gun in his arms, his eyes rolling around.
He is indispensable when giving orders, but is nowhere to be found when action is needed. If he didn't have a backer in the base, he would have been killed by a joint effort.
Lu Qianzhi also frowned, and when he turned around, his dusty face was now smiling.
Those who had some opinions couldn't help but relax their brows when they saw this smiling face.
Such a sunny smile is like a ray of light in the cruel end of the world, as if it can dispel any haze.
"Our attack has been effective. Let's keep going," Lu Qianzhi said encouragingly. "For the future of mankind, keep going!"
“Go ahead—”
The army responded with a roar.
The suddenly increased firepower hit Jiang Chuyi's body. She strengthened her outer layer of protection and looked at the human side thoughtfully.
She was getting a little impatient because she didn't get what she wanted and kept wasting time.
Her eyes were burning, and inexplicable thoughts were flowing through her, causing the system, which was already a little afraid of her, to instantly feel uneasy: "Host, what do you want to do now?"
The scene where a zombie was torn apart by her bare hands just because it touched her was still fresh in front of her eyes. The system couldn't help but shudder. It was completely unpredictable to Jiang Chuyi's behavior: "You... don't want to kill them all? Calm down! These are your future subordinates. On the human side, there is also the male protagonist of this world. Killing him will cause the world to collapse..."
Jiang Chuyi's thoughts calmed down a bit, and he suddenly said, "If I kill Lu Qianzhi, will I die too?"
The system froze for a moment, then quickly confirmed, "That's right! The hero is the pillar of this world. If he dies, this world will disappear, and you, as a member of this world, will disappear with him."
It felt that if it said this, Jiang Chuyi would be scared, or at least would have some concerns, and then consider how to proceed with the plot.
However, after it said this, Jiang Chuyi suddenly laughed.
Her face was pale, her eyes were very dark, and she had a natural fragility and innocence. The smile on her face had an indescribable charm.
"I am a member of this world." Although she smiled, her tone was very fierce, and there was a kind of pure happiness on her face. "I have nothing to do with the previous world anymore, absolutely nothing to do with it."
Even though the system had taken over so many hosts, it couldn't help but fall silent in this strange scene.
Then Jiang Chuyi smiled and raised her hand. The bullets originally shot at her were suddenly stopped in mid-air by an invisible big hand. Then the trajectory was forcibly changed and exploded in all directions!
Whether humans or zombies, they watched helplessly as the scattered artillery shells fell among them.
"Bang--"
"Get down—!"
Amidst the explosion, Jiang Chuyi stood on the ruins and laughed loudly. All the resentment and humiliation that had been imprisoned, all the resentment and despair of being forcibly hurt, and all the repression belonging to another world were vented in this laugh. His black hair moved without wind, and those were ripples caused by pure energy.
This grand explosion was like fireworks celebrating her new life.
The system just watched as a cannon/bullet was mercilessly fired towards the male protagonist, and the CPU stopped working in shock.
The white light around Jiang Chuyi suddenly expanded. Although it was dusk, it seemed as if a sun exploded from her body.
The sudden light made all humans unable to open their eyes, and coupled with the previous attack, the attack naturally stopped.
Humans can still defend and dodge, but zombies cannot. After the previous round of changes, the entire zombie army is full of broken arms and legs, and has become a bloody hell.
People were stunned. They stared blankly at the intact ball of light slowly moving towards them. However, because of the explosion just now, most of them could only lie on the ground with trembling hands and feet, unable to even get up.
In this desperate situation of life and death, Lu Qianzhi's eyes were bloodshot and sparks suddenly ignited around his body.
However, the spark was too short-lived, and no one noticed it except Jiang Chuyi who was observing the overall situation.
Jiang Chuyi crossed the mountains of corpses and seas of blood and arrived above the human side.
Seeing that everyone who was still able to move raised their guns and pointed them at him, Jiang Chuyi snorted, ignored them, and turned to look at the male protagonist.
So this is the hero that this world depends on for survival? Jiang Chuyi looked at him carefully.
So weak.
Lu Qianzhi watched Jiang Chuyi seem to be getting closer and closer to him, his pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole. He clenched his teeth and tried desperately to move his aching arms to raise the gun in his hand.
"Team Lu!"
Everyone, including Lu Qianzhi himself, thought he was dead, and some people couldn't help but roar in grief and anger.
Not only humans, but also the system was scared to death by Jiang Chuyi's actions.
"Su... host."
The system felt that its operation had completely stagnated. In the brief contact, it had already realized that Jiang Chuyi was not the previous hosts that could be controlled at will by it, but it could not watch her kill the male protagonist, so it could only bite the bullet and persuade her.
"At least don't kill the hero, otherwise you will really die..."
Just when everyone was facing a great enemy, Lu Qianzhi felt a strong wind coming, like a palm wind from a martial arts master, with the power to tear human skin.
He was intimidated by this momentum and was actually fixed in place, his body completely out of control.
As he looked on in horror, the strong wind blew past him and rushed straight to his side.
“Hmm!”
The coward who had been hiding behind Lu Qianzhi was tightly grasped by this invisible big hand and gradually lifted up.
A slight pain came from his cheek, and Lu Qianzhi's eyes trembled, and then he realized that his cheek had been cut.
“Help…Help…”
The person who was picked up was trying hard to lift his legs in the air, and his hands were frantically grabbing something around his neck. Unfortunately, how could he grab something without any physical energy? He gradually rose into the air.
A deliberately lowered female voice echoed across the sky, carrying with it an invisible pressure.
"That's the 'me' he slandered, right?"
It was clearly a question, but it was expressed in a certain tone, as if it were the verdict of the god of death.
The pupils of the man who was picked up suddenly shrank. He opened his mouth wide and tried to speak: "I... I didn't... Help... Please spare me..."
Soon, his face was covered with snot and tears, and a fishy and smelly liquid was dripping from under his feet.
Jiang Chuyi watched this scene and was glad that he didn't catch him with his own hands because he thought it was dirty.
Ignoring his strenuous rebuttal, she said matter-of-factly, "Then go to hell."
"stop!"
The moment Lu Qianzhi spoke, the man's face suddenly turned purple, his neck shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the next second, accompanied by a slight explosion, his entire neck was crushed to pieces.
Broken flesh and blood covered the faces of the people below. Lu Qianzhi froze when he was halfway up, and his severed head and body fell beside him.
Then, he felt a gaze falling on him, and he quickly realized to whom it belonged. He had experienced this terrifying feeling as if being swallowed by a black hole once before.
He was well aware that the gap in strength between the two sides was too great. In order to protect the remaining people, he dared not move, for fear of accidentally angering the zombie king who had just evolved.
After a long time, he felt the gaze being withdrawn, accompanied by a soft murmur.
"pity……"
What a pity, what a pity?
Just as his brain was working desperately to find a way to deal with this horrific monster, the ball of light suddenly exploded with light, forcing everyone to close their eyes.
When they opened their eyes again, the terrifying ball of light was no longer there.
All that was left for Lu Qianzhi were dead zombies all over the ground, humans groaning in pain, and a body that was split in two.
The author has something to say:
The male protagonist of the original book is not the male protagonist of this article!
