Chapter 195 The Original Female Lead Who Was Used as Cannon Fodder 45
Three days later, the superhumans from the remaining human bases arrived at the Savior's base, and the zombies finally completed their assembly.
The horde of corpses, stretching for thousands of kilometers, resembled a writhing black ocean, covering the entire horizon.
"hiss--"
A piercing scream that tore through the clouds suddenly erupted from the center of the zombie horde, instantly activating the entire horde.
The horde of corpses surged forward instantly, rushing towards the Savior's base.
"Now! Open fire immediately!"
The orders from the command posts at each base were issued almost simultaneously.
In an instant, countless missiles and rockets streaked across the sky, leaving dazzling trails of flame, and exploded into deathly fireworks in the densest part of the zombie horde.
The shockwave tore hordes of zombies to shreds, and charred limbs were flung dozens of meters into the air by the blast.
These long-held long-range thermal weapons are the last trump card of each base.
They are limited in number and are usually only effective against zombies below level six.
They didn't dare to launch an attack in the first two days, for fear of breaking this delicate balance.
But now, with the zombie horde launching a full-scale attack, all concerns have been thrown to the back of their minds, and the ammunition depots of each base have been fully opened, with artillery fire pouring down like a torrential rain.
The base then launched an attack.
The heavy machine guns on the city wall spat fire, but the muffled sound of bullets piercing skulls was instantly drowned out by the even louder roar, without making a ripple.
There were just too many zombies, an endless number. In the blink of an eye, the zombies on the first tier were close to the city wall.
Their rotting fingers scratched at the metal wall, making a teeth-grinding scraping sound.
Ruan Yunzhen stood quietly on the city wall, her clothes fluttering in the wind mixed with gunpowder smoke.
Her gaze pierced through the chaotic battlefield, pointing directly at the faintly visible figure deep within the horde of corpses.
"Lin Wuque, go, go and bring me back the head of that level nine zombie."
His tone was casual, as if he wasn't being ordered to die, but merely to retrieve an insignificant object.
"Yes, Master."
Lin Wuque's gaze was fixed on the figure exuding a powerful aura, whose body was shrouded in black mist, sweeping towards Ruan Yunzhen.
Sensing Lin Wuque's intention, Ruan Yunzhen immediately refused: "No need, just give it your all this time."
She is no longer an ordinary person who is powerless.
As an eighth-level ability user, and a mental ability user at that, no one can harm her.
“Master.” Lin Wuque frowned, his eyes full of disapproval.
In his mind, protecting his master was the top priority, and everything else had to come second.
Even though he knew this would reduce his chances of winning against a level nine zombie by another 30%, he didn't intend to change his mind.
All those meticulously planned tactics and weighed pros and cons are utterly insignificant when it comes to the safety of the master.
"Don't do anything unnecessary, get out of here!" Ruan Yunzhen snapped.
How can one break free from shackles without giving it one's all?
"Don't worry, Yunzhen is protected by me."
At this moment, Zhao Linxiu popped his head out from the side.
He is now an eighth-level ability user. As a lightning-type ability user, he is naturally very powerful, far surpassing the vast majority of ability users.
During this period of training, he and Ruan Yunzhen became much more familiar with each other, and his fear of Lin Wuque dissipated considerably. He even secretly changed how he addressed Ruan Yunzhen.
Lin Wuque's eyes suddenly turned cold. "You think you're worthy?"
Although he failed to break through to level nine, he still dominated other ability users.
Ruan Yunzhen interrupted him: "Alright, now is not the time to fool around, get out of here."
"Don't use Black Annihilation here! Give it your all!"
Ruan Yunzhen warned, "Otherwise, get out of my sight and don't follow me anymore."
Lin Wuque's special abilities are very useful, especially Bai Nie, which has irreplaceable value for her in unifying human forces. She hopes that he will grow to his peak.
If Lin Wuque had anything to fear, it was being driven away by Ruan Yunzhen.
He knew that Ruan Yunzhen had ways to protect herself, so he suppressed his urge to protect her and turned to rush into the horde of zombies.
Zhao Linxiu suppressed the bitterness surging in his heart. He silently stood beside Ruan Yunzhen, his hand crackling with lightning. The violent lightning transformed into countless silver snakes, pouring down on the surging horde of corpses below the city wall.
Lin Wuque's figure pierced into the zombie horde like a black lightning bolt, turning all the zombies in his path into dust.
Amidst the horde of corpses stood a slender figure. It was not tall, only a little over 1.6 meters, with pale skin that was completely intact, even exuding a sickly elegance.
Her cascading black hair fluttered gently in the bloody wind, and her pristine white robe was spotless. If it weren't for the inhuman coldness emanating from her scarlet eyes, one would almost mistake her for an innocent young girl who had stumbled into this land of death.
Seeing Lin Wuque charging straight at it, it neither dodged nor avoided, but instead curled its lips into a contemptuous smile.
"boom--!"
Two terrifying energies collided at the center of the zombie horde, and the shockwave instantly wiped out all the zombies within a radius of one kilometer.
Lin Wuque's Black Annihilation and the Zombie King's Corrupting Energy tore at each other, causing space itself to distort and deform.
On the city wall, all the superpowered individuals pushed their abilities to the limit, and the light of each superpower intertwined to create a dazzling array of colors.
When his superpowers were exhausted, he took out a small bottle from his pocket, took a small sip, and his superpowers were instantly restored.
This is the spiritual spring water that Ruan Yunzhen distributed in advance.
The effects of the spiritual spring water far exceeded everyone's expectations. Not only did it instantly restore superpowers, but some superpowered individuals also vaguely touched upon the opportunity for a breakthrough after drinking it continuously.
For a time, morale soared, and they managed to hold off the terrifying horde of zombies with great difficulty.
Lin Wuque fought the Level 9 Zombie King alone, without Ruan Yunzhen providing any assistance.
This was a training ground she had specially reserved for Lin Wuque.
Only on the edge of life and death can a blade be tempered to its sharpest edge.
Ruan Yunzhen's gaze fell downwards, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted forth, repeating her old trick.
Instantly, several high-level zombies that had been charging towards the city wall changed direction and headed back the way they came.
This is a unique ability belonging to Ruan Yunzhen, which combines spiritual power and the power of love and desire.
It wasn't just simple mind manipulation; it directly distorted their cognition, making them willingly slaughter their own kind for her.
The zombie king seemed to sense something and suddenly turned its head.
Their gazes met across the distance, and Ruan Yunzhen gave a provocative smile.
The mental energy was continuously output, and more and more control was taken from its hands.
With his power usurped, the Zombie King instantly flew into a rage, his energy exploding like a volcanic eruption.
It roared to the sky and charged at Ruan Yunzhen.
The moment it moved, a jet-black energy chain suddenly wrapped around its ankle.
Blood trickled from the corner of Lin Wuque's mouth, and madness burned in his eyes.
"Your opponent... is me!"
Although it was a level lower, the unique corrosiveness of Black Annihilation forced the Zombie King to be distracted in dealing with it.
Those energies, like a persistent, malignant sore, are constantly eroding its defensive barriers.
Every time it tries to break free, a new black chain will attack from a tricky angle.
"Get out of here!"
Enraged, the Zombie King tore apart the three chains and slammed Lin Wuque into the ground with a punch, causing the ground within a hundred meters to collapse instantly.
Amidst the rubble, Lin Wuque's right arm was twisted at an eerie angle, his sternum was sunken, and bright red blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.
The darkness flickered faintly, like a candle dying in the wind.
However, his gaze remained fixed on the zombie king's figure charging towards the city wall.
"Owner......"
A hoarse call, mixed with blood and froth, was squeezed out of his throat.
His unfocused pupils reflected Ruan Yunzhen's delicate yet indifferent face.
Those perpetually calm and unwavering eyes seemed to be watching his defeat.
"How could I... just collapse like this..."
Lin Wuque suddenly grinned, revealing a blood-stained smile.
As his master's most loyal and vicious dog, how could he die before he had even torn the enemy's throat?
"boom--!!!"
A chilling energy surge suddenly erupted from the bottom of the pit.
Pure darkness erupted into the sky like a volcanic eruption, and Lin Wuque's broken body was slowly lifted into the air by the black gloom, with black and white flames simultaneously bursting out from all his wounds.
Amidst the interplay of black and pale flames, space began to distort unnaturally.
Bones are reborn, and flesh and blood are restored.
All the injuries healed at a visible speed under the surge of white bark.
The Zombie King suddenly turned around and saw a black meteor streak across the sky, piercing straight through its energy barrier!
The black ash surged wildly into the zombie king's body through the wound like a living thing, colliding violently within it, causing it to let out painful roars.
"This power...something's not right!"
Level 9!
The zombie king's crimson pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, fear appeared on his face.
It clearly sensed that the black annihilation energy surging into its body was undergoing some terrifying qualitative change.
Those energies gnawed at its source like living creatures, becoming more violent with each passing second.
Lin Wuque hovered in mid-air, the black and white flames surrounding him gradually merging into an eerie ash color.
"I see......"
He looked down at his palm, which was wreathed in gray flames, and suddenly chuckled.
In the instant he teetered on the brink of life and death, he broke through the shackles of hierarchy and merged Black Annihilation and White Nirvana to form the "Void" that devours all things.
"Now, it's my turn."
Lin Wuque licked his lips, and gray flames condensed at his fingertips into a grotesque longsword, which he swung at the zombie king.
Ruan Yunzhen, standing on the city wall, raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded in satisfaction.
"It didn't disappoint me."
With Lin Wuque breaking through to level nine, the entire battlefield situation suddenly reversed.
The zombie king must focus all his energy on his work and can no longer spare any attention to command the zombie horde.
This made things easier for Ruan Yunzhen, as she controlled a large number of zombies and turned them against their own kind.
As her mental energy continued to be output at a high intensity, Ruan Yunzhen sensed the invisible barrier in her sea of consciousness.
Without hesitation, she concentrated all her mental energy into a cone and stabbed it fiercely towards the barrier.
"Crack—"
It was as if the crisp sound of shattering glass was echoing in my mind.
In an instant, a vast mental storm erupted from her center, sweeping across the entire battlefield.
Ruan Yunzhen's pupils turned completely into a dazzling silver-white, and her long hair moved without wind.
The pressure of the level nine psychic ability caused the zombies within a radius of dozens of miles to freeze simultaneously, their heads exploding one after another, like watermelons being crushed by an invisible hand.
The zombie king, who was fighting Lin Wuque in the distance, paused, his scarlet pupils filled with even greater fear, and a hint of retreat appeared in his eyes.
Ruan Yunzhen originally thought that breaking through to level nine was just a simple increase in strength, a more powerful mental force, and a body that could bear more energy.
But it wasn't until the real breakthrough that we discovered it was much more than that.
Her spiritual power underwent a fundamental transformation. The energy that was originally like mist is now condensed like mercury, flowing more smoothly and freely, and even her soul has become more resilient.
More importantly, deep within the soul, a silver soul core the size of a thumb is quietly suspended.
It radiated a soft glow, and each pulse was perfectly synchronized with her breath.
If the soul core remains intact, the soul will live on forever.
Even if her soul is severely damaged in the future, as long as her soul core remains, she will gradually recover like a withered tree blossoming in spring, instead of dissipating.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ruan Yunzhen's eyes.
She never imagined that the superpower she awakened in this world could touch the very essence of her soul.
She subconsciously wanted to pursue a higher level.
But when she focused her attention, she realized that this was the limit.
It's not her limit, but the limit of this world.
She cannot bear the weight of a more powerful being.
Ruan Yunzhen felt a little regretful, but was mostly happy.
She composed herself and focused her attention on the current situation.
The pressure of the level nine psychic ability swept across the entire battlefield, and wherever it passed, the heads of low-level zombies exploded one after another like ripe watermelons.
Brain matter and black blood exploded in the air, forming a terrifying blood mist.
The advanced zombies were not so fragile, but they had all lost their minds and began to fight elsewhere.
The acid sprayed by mutated zombies, the shrieks of flying zombies, and the bites of ordinary zombies intertwine to create a post-apocalyptic carnival.
The superhumans on the city wall held their breath in awe, their gazes fixed on the figure standing atop the wall.
Just then, a ray of dawn sunlight pierced through the thick smoke of battle and poured down on Ruan Yunzhen like holy light.
The golden halo outlined her perfect features, making her already stunning face appear even more otherworldly.
Her porcelain-white skin shimmered with a lustrous sheen, her long eyelashes cast soft shadows in the light, and her red lips were as vibrant as if stained with blood.
What's most unsettling are those eyes.
His silvery-white pupils seemed to hold the swirling stars, and a single glance from them could send shivers down one's spine.
At this moment, everyone clearly realized
—They witnessed not only the end of the war, but also the birth of a true god.
As the zombie horde descended into a frenzy of infighting, the pressure on the city wall defenses eased dramatically. The zombie king, under Lin Wuque's attacks, suffered repeated defeats and was clearly in a state of decline.
A hint of retreat flashed in its crimson pupils, and its figure suddenly became ethereal, attempting to disappear into the horde of corpses.
However, Lin Wuque did not give her that chance, his gray flame longsword drawing a perfect arc.
"Whoosh!"
A pale arm snapped off, black blood spurting out.
The zombie king let out a shrill roar, but before it could react, the second blow had already landed.
If it had continued to fight Lin Wuque, it might not have been defeated so quickly. However, its attempt to escape only led it into a more complete quagmire of defeat, destroying its own life.
A flash of cold light, and a head flew high into the air.
The level nine zombie king has fallen.
