Chapter 67 Good luck to you!
In the other side of the tomb chamber, Bo Yiyan and Xiaobai occupied a corner.
Xiao Bai used his ice-type superpowers to create a solid ice castle. Outside the castle, countless vines entwined around it, baring their fangs and claws, ready to fight the approaching zombies at any moment.
Gu Qituo was also helpless and could only use his mental abilities to suppress the horde of zombies that he had left behind for himself.
He finally understood what it meant to be trapped by one's own actions. These backup plans that he had originally set aside to protect himself had unexpectedly become the tomb owner's backup energy source.
He knew that once his subordinates got out of control, they would immediately fight to the death with these two powerful humans. In that case, they would be easily captured by the tomb owner, who would be like a fisherman who would kill two birds with one stone.
Both sides are waiting, waiting for an opportunity to break through the formation.
Suddenly, a wisp of pale red smoke billowed from the tops of the two rows of stone pillars in the tomb chamber, and the smoke was mixed with a rich fragrance.
Gu Qituo was able to become an SS-level super zombie king after experiencing countless life-or-death situations.
His intuition told him that this strange fragrance was odd, even dangerous.
From the day a zombie becomes a zombie, it loses all five senses, retaining only the sense of smell for fresh flesh and blood. However, after advancing to S-rank, its sense of smell returns.
After advancing to SS level, the sense of pain returned among his five senses. Of course, he has always concealed this very well and would never let anyone find out, otherwise the advantage of being a walking corpse without the sense of pain would be completely lost.
After all, if humans knew about this weakness of his, they would definitely attack his weak point in battle, causing him great trouble.
Among the thousands of zombies in the tomb, only Snow, an S-class zombie king, could smell the fragrance, apart from Gu Qituo.
However, Snow's sense of smell was a bit worse than his, so as soon as Gu Qituo smelled the strange fragrance, he warned Snow: "Stay away from those stone pillars, something's strange!"
Upon hearing this, Snow immediately retreated to stand in front of Gu Qituo and casually set up a wall of flames to block out all the smells.
The fragrance quickly filled the entire tomb, and the first to be affected were naturally the low-level zombies.
These zombies, who normally felt no pain, suddenly began to writhe wildly as if they had been thrown into a crematorium.
Painful screams rose and fell, sounding like hell on earth, but the process did not last long.
Just over ten minutes later, the low-level zombies turned into piles of rotting flesh and lay motionless on the ground.
This scene shocked Gu Qituo and Snow so much that they couldn't help but tremble. Although these zombie minions were just cannon fodder that they had brought in to be used in battle, it was still heartbreaking to lose so many of them at once.
They were especially horrified when they saw that even the high-ranking zombies were injured, struggling, writhing, and roaring!
It's easy to imagine how unbearable the stench must be in the tomb now that thousands of underlings have died!
Fortunately, Xiaobai and Boyiyan were hiding in the Ice Castle, which isolated them from the outside air, so they couldn't smell anything.
However, Snow and Guqituo used a fire wall to block out the smell, but this fire wall consumed a lot of energy and couldn't last long at all.
Gu Qituo panicked and couldn't help but plead with Xiaobai for help: "Hey! Ice-type human powerhouse, please help us build an ice castle to protect us from the poisonous gas in the tomb."
Otherwise, by the time our wall of flames burns out, both of us S-ranks might be dead, and then you two won't be far from dying either.
"Help you? How could you even think of that!"
The poison gas created by the tomb's owner should be a special poison gas specifically designed to deal with you zombies. Once you two are eliminated, this zombie horde will collapse on its own.
We didn't take advantage of your misfortune by breaking your wall of flames, simply because we didn't want to be used by the tomb's owner. Did you really expect us to help you fight off a powerful enemy?
"Heh, good luck to you!" Bo Yiyan sneered.
As the most skilled physician and pharmacist on Green Algae Star, he didn't know the composition of the pale red smoke emanating from the stone pillar, but based on its ability to kill zombies, it must be a kind of highly effective poisonous fog.
If he weren't worried about potentially getting poisoned himself, he would have rushed out immediately to collect some of the smoke and take it back to analyze its composition.
If we could concoct this kind of smoke, why would we have to worry about the zombie crisis not being completely resolved?
After hearing what Bo Yiyan said, Koki Takuya couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was really confused and actually thought of asking his enemy for help!
Although he wasn't a doctor, he could roughly deduce from the situation that the pale red smoke was a highly toxic substance specifically designed to target zombies.
He was now completely gripped by immense terror. Ever since the Wither Virus outbreak, at least two-thirds of the population in the entire galaxy had been infected.
Countless scientists have devoted themselves to research, but have yet to develop a drug that can combat this virus.
After gaining intelligence, he always believed that he could live forever and become a legendary immortal.
But now he finally understood that the owner of this tomb was the most terrifying person in the world, who could annihilate all the zombies at any time if he wanted to.
