Death Valley was originally a tourist attraction with wide roads.
At this moment, the road was treated as a battlefield, and Si Beiting led them along the tourist route for pedestrians.
"General..." Chu Xinxin turned to ask Si Beiting, "You seem very familiar with this place."
“Hmm…” Si Beiting’s eyes curved into a smile, “This used to be my hometown.”
Chu Xinxin was slightly taken aback, not expecting this answer.
“This place used to be very beautiful. In the summer, it was full of tourists coming to escape the heat,” Si Beiting recalled. “I came here almost every summer when I was a child.”
Back then, the scenic area was maintained, unlike now, where it's in ruins, overgrown with weeds, and you can barely see the road.
However, zombies won't come here; they prefer flat areas.
The sounds of gunfire and artillery gradually faded into the distance as they reached the heart of the valley.
There is a viewing platform here.
The evolved zombie king is below.
Chu Xinxin looked down and saw the man in bed number four sitting in the middle, his eyes closed, his lips red. Scattered around him were the remains of zombies, clearly indicating that he had just been devouring his own kind and was now digesting them.
Beyond the observation deck area, there were swarms of zombies, with level two zombies standing on the outermost edge, and inside that, a ring of level three zombies with glowing green eyes...
The situation is not good.
If even a level 3 zombie submits, then the zombie king must be at least level 4.
Those superhumans haven't entered here yet.
"Boss, should we wait a little longer? With just us, we might not even be able to get close to the Zombie King."
Alice, carrying the cannon, asked with a serious expression.
Xiaoya jumped to a high place and looked out: "Only half of the superpowered individuals continued forward; the other half turned back."
Some people know when to stop, while others are more greedy.
Si Beiting also jumped to a high place. He estimated the number of people on both sides, turned around and ordered, "Ryan, take two fast runners and lure those zombies out of the valley."
Ryan nodded in agreement.
Si Beiting then instructed Lyle: "Take two people to ambush at the mountain pass. After Lyle lures the zombies out, immediately detonate the explosives to block the passage."
Lyle frowned: "Boss, in this situation, you won't be able to get out anytime soon..."
"Hurry up and wipe out those zombies before coming back to save us."
Si Beiting's eyes were cold as he quickly and methodically assigned tasks to everyone: "David and Alice will each lead a small team to attack the Zombie King from the left and right. Xiaoya, you select a few ability users who are good at ranged attacks to cover them."
"receive!"
Si Beiting: "Professor Chu, I will hold him off from the front. You stay in the shadows. When the time is right, aim this gun at his neck and make sure it hits him on the first try."
"No, I'll draw his attention; you stay in the shadows."
Chu Xinxin changed into her combat uniform and took out a special gun from her bag.
Inside the gun was her modified, potent suppressant, which could inhibit the movement of zombies.
Si Beiting disagreed: "No, you won't last three moves against him. Leave the inhibitor to me, that's the best solution."
"What if I told him I could talk to him?"
Chu Xinxin's words were startling.
All the superhumans who were preparing looked up at her in an instant.
As we all know, although zombies are transformed humans, they have lost their ability to speak.
Even if a high-level zombie can command a low-level zombie, it's not through human language!
Chu Xinxin ignored the gazes of others, her expression unusually firm: "Let me do it."
Language is also a very important weapon on the battlefield.
Just before his emotions overwhelmed his reason, Si Beiting agreed: "Okay, everyone, be careful in everything."
"Yes, General."
Everyone set off according to their assigned tasks.
Just as Chu Xinxin was about to leave, Si Beiting suddenly grabbed her hand: "Professor Chu."
"Um?"
Chu Xinxin turned around.
Si Beiting's eyes flickered with light as he said, "I want to borrow something from you."
"What?"
"You know that, right?" Si Beiting pulled the person closer, "Speed isn't one of my special abilities..."
The words faded from her lips as Si Beiting turned his head and kissed her.
Chu Xinxin's head was held firmly by his large hand, not allowing her to retreat even a fraction of an inch.
After a long while, Si Beiting finally released her.
Si Beiting's eyes deepened as he touched Chu Xinxin's red lips with his dry, warm fingertips.
"Thank you, Professor Chu."
......
[Nothing to brag about. The second item on the note he wrote to you was speed. You scoundrel, ptooey!]
Chu Xinxin walked alone on the path, while the roars of zombies echoed from the valley below.
Ryan and his team began their operation.
Chu Xinxin didn't answer, so the system cheerfully changed the subject: "Sister, how do you plan to communicate with that zombie king?"
He's faking it.
Chu Xinxin cut to the chase: "How much energy is needed to switch the zombie king's frequency?"
Sister, didn't you look down on me for helping you?
The system said, sounding aggrieved.
Why wouldn't I use free energy? I'm not stupid.
Hehe, don't be angry, sister, I was just joking.
The system abruptly changed its tone: "I'm more than happy you're using your energy."
Once the devil's deal begins, who can stop it?
You can get everything so easily... This thing is like the most beautiful flower with the most vicious poison; once you're addicted, you can't quit.
The system carefully concealed its trembling voice: [Level 2 zombie conversion rate: 10 energy points; Level 3: 20; Zombie King is a Level 4 zombie, requiring more: 30 energy points.]
Chu Xinxin's pupils contracted; Bed No. 4 had indeed evolved again.
"make a deal."
[Sister, would you like to switch to a defensive ability? Ten energy points.]
The system cheerfully suggested: "[This can block 30% of the damage.]"
Chu Xin thought for a moment and said, "Give it to Si Beiting."
【......good.】
......
The zombies below the mountain were being provoked by Ryan, but because of the zombie king's orders, they dared not go far and kept lingering near the stands.
"If this drags on any longer, the zombie king will have completed its evolution and will be coming after us!"
Ryan was getting anxious.
The system relayed the situation to Chu Xinxin.
Chu Xinxin took a tube of white powder out of her bag and threw it at Ryan's feet.
“Ryan, spread this out... This is the evolutionary substance extracted from the serum of the Zombie King.”
Without thinking, Ryan poured a lot of liquid on himself and then rushed out of the valley.
They happened to run into the superhumans who had just arrived.
When the superhumans saw the high-level zombies trailing behind him in billowing smoke, they were not terrified; instead, they were unusually excited and went to greet him.
The exit was immediately blocked.
Lyle laughed in anger. These good-for-nothing trash!
"Detonate the gunpowder."
Lyle gave the order.
"But Ryan hasn't lured the zombies out yet."
"Light a few first. These people are blocking the way here, they can't get out at all!" Lyle snatched the torch and lit the fuse.
"boom--"
The explosives shook the entire valley, and large rocks rolled down the mountain.
The superhumans covered their heads and hid, and the mountain pass was suddenly empty.
Lyle yelled, "Ryan, hurry up!"
