Huang Zhao walked slowly and steadily toward the Corpse King.
At this moment, the zombie king, whose head had been shattered by fire-type zombies and covered in splatter, was being treated by a level-three regeneration zombie.
The bone helmet, which had been cracked from the impact, has been repaired, but the leg is still undergoing treatment and the person is temporarily unable to stand up.
As Qin Yi and Huang Zhao approached, the Corpse King, somewhat terrified, used his hands to support himself and retreated.
At the same time, he stopped treating the level-three recovery zombie, got up and pounced on Qin Yi, who had already closed in on him.
Qin Yi looked at the level three zombie rushing towards him without feeling any fear.
With Huang Zhao's explanations of the types and levels of superhumans and zombies after the apocalypse, Qin Yi had a very clear understanding of his own strength.
When there are no other means of attack and only brute force is used.
A non-meat-type zombie of the same level could not possibly defeat an awakened meat-type ability user, especially one like myself wielding weapons and wearing full armor.
Qin Yi swept his long-handled hammer horizontally, instantly severing the hands of the level-three recovery-type zombie that was reaching for him.
Then he kicked it, sending it flying more than 20 meters away.
Huang Zhao walked up from behind and stood next to Qin Yi.
At this moment, all that remained in front of the two was the Corpse King, who was sitting on the ground and moving backward in terror with his hands.
Hehehe, now you can scream your lungs out!
No zombies will come to your rescue!
Huang Zhao chuckled and eagerly approached the Corpse King, who was roaring in terror.
He put away the titanium alloy rod in his hand, gathered spatial energy, and an invisible spatial blade appeared.
'I'll accept your crystal without hesitation!'
Huang Zhao was somewhat excited. The achievement that no one could accomplish in Chen Run's previous life's apocalypse was about to be completed by him!
They withstood the Corpse King's dying counterattack, as it unleashed a barrage of mental attacks upon themselves and Qin Yi.
Dodging the Corpse King's claws aimed at him, he used the spatial blade he had conjured to gently slice across the Corpse King's neck.
The condensed spatial blade encountered no resistance, and the head of the Corpse King, wearing a white bone helmet, fell to the ground.
At this moment, the level-three recovery-type zombie that Qin Yi had kicked away stood up, broke free from the zombie king's control, and regained its own consciousness.
He rushed toward Huang Zhao, who was crouching on the ground not far in front of him, preparing to pick up the Corpse King's head to examine it.
As the recovery-type zombie approached, Huang Zhao condensed a mental shockwave and shot it into its mind.
The zombie, which was reaching for him, froze in place, and was then struck on the head by a heavy hammer swept across by Qin Yi.
Just like the level three fire-type zombie from before, its head exploded and it fell in front of Huang Zhao.
At this point, the Corpse King and his two Level 3 zombie henchmen were all wiped out by Huang Zhao and Qin Yi!
Huang Zhao looked at the head of the Corpse King covered with bone armor in his hand and examined it carefully without any disgust.
The most obvious feature of a Corpse King is the bone armor that covers its body as its level increases.
It appears as if it grows directly from within the body, like a part of one's own body, and therefore can be treated by regenerative zombies.
The zombie king that Chen Run saw in the later stages of the apocalypse had already covered its entire body in bone armor.
The Corpse King's armor possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities. Even attacks from flesh-based ability users of the same level would find it difficult to break through the armor and harm the Corpse King's true form within it.
Moreover, the Zombie King spends most of its time among the zombie horde and rarely appears alone in front of human survivors, making it even more difficult to kill!
Huang Zhao's success in killing this zombie king was purely by chance.
First, the Corpse King's level was not high and its intelligence was not fully developed, so it was successfully lured out of the horde of corpses.
If the Corpse King stays hidden among the horde of corpses and doesn't come out, or if it runs away when things get bad...
Huang Zhao could only stare blankly, unable to find any trace of the Corpse King.
Even if the Corpse King didn't escape, Huang Zhao would still need to continuously deplete the Corpse King's power and then lure away large numbers of corpses in batches.
Finally, they rushed in front of the Corpse King and killed it.
It will be much more difficult than it is now, and there will be greater risks.
Secondly, the Corpse King's forces have been developing for a long time and have not yet gathered enough high-level zombies.
It was only the fifth night after the apocalypse, and level three zombies were extremely rare.
The Corpse King migrated over a distance of nearly forty kilometers, but only managed to recruit two.
As for the potentially larger number of advanced mutant zombies, even the Zombie King would be unable to control them if they lost their minds.
If given more time, not too much, Huang Zhao would have no choice but to temporarily avoid the Zombie King's onslaught with ten level-three zombies.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
The Corpse King was already dead, and the energy crystals of himself and his two level-three minions had become Huang Zhao's spoils of war.
'Nice souvenir.'
Using his spatial abilities, Huang Zhao collected the Corpse King's head and the corpses of three headless zombies into his spatial dimension.
He then picked up the two level-three fire and recovery energy crystals that had fallen to the ground after Qin Yi smashed his head.
A bumper harvest!
Acquire three Level 3 Energy Crystals in one go!
Moreover, a large wave of level 2 and level 1 crystals is approaching!
There were 19 level 2 zombies of various types and more than 300 level 1 zombies. This was much faster than slowly finding and killing high-level zombies on your own.
It's a pity the Corpse King is far too dangerous; otherwise, if there were a way to control him...
Huang Zhao seemed to see a line of zombies offering the crystals on the back of their heads to him.
That's a windfall!
It was somewhat regrettable, but Huang Zhao also knew that controlling the Corpse King was impossible.
As both are mental beings, if Huang Zhao tries to control the Corpse King with his mind, it's hard to say who will ultimately control whom.
The risk was so great that Huang Zhaolian never even had the urge to concentrate her mind to control her supernatural abilities; she only ever thought about it.
After collecting the crystals from the ground, Huang Zhao and Qin Yi stood in the middle of the street, waiting for the Corpse King's minions to approach.
First came 12 level-two flesh-type zombies, then 7 level-two element-type zombies.
Under the combined influence of Huang Zhao's mental attack and Qin Yi's long-handled hammer.
The two of them were completely unharmed and pocketed the 19 level-two energy crystals.
Then came more than three hundred level-one zombies.
Huang Zhao and Qin Yi fought and retreated, leisurely smashing the heads of the zombies that excitedly charged at them after spotting them.
Like the Calabash Brothers rescuing their grandfather, the zombies lined up to enter Huang Zhao's supernatural space.
After another half hour of fighting, Huang Zhao wiped out all the level one and above zombies under the Corpse King's command.
"Cool!
"We've been in this apocalypse for so long, and I've never acquired so many high-grade energy crystals all at once!"
Huang Zhao, feeling pleased after defeating the Corpse King and a large number of elite zombies, sighed during the mental connection.
Qin Yi, the main contributor, listened quietly to Huang Zhao's joyful speech without interrupting.
