The mutated beasts almost never attack humans on their own initiative, but instead target the zombies that occupy the city.
If it weren't for this reason, Chen Run's previous life as a human would have been wiped out long ago.
Huang Zhao looked up at the gloomy sky, his thoughts drifting.
In about twenty days, all the zombies will have evolved to level one.
That will be the real test for humanity.
In the month leading up to the apocalypse, if survivors haven't yet accepted the impending doom, they need to find a way to absorb the crystals.
They would be unable to benefit from this evolutionary opportunity and miss the chance to evolve at this level of life.
They were submerged in this vast ocean of level-one zombies and lost their lives.
Huang Zhao shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
Ahead, the outline of Jin City can be seen in the distance.
On the outskirts of Jin City, Huang Zhao once again saw a large number of survivors.
Using existing buildings outside the city, build walls to defend against zombies.
Judging by its size, it could accommodate at least several thousand people, but it's still unknown whether there are actually that many survivors.
As the wolf pack approached, the survivors in the settlement ahead also spotted them.
A pack of nearly a thousand wolves, marching in a mighty and imposing manner.
Especially the leaders, King Kong, who was over ten meters tall, and the Wolf King, who was ten meters tall, made them feel a sense of despair.
The fence they erected was only a little over three meters high, and even a level-two mutated beast from the wolf pack could easily cross it.
"Run! There are so many mutated beasts, we can't possibly hold them off!"
"God, we barely escaped from the jaws of the corpses, are we going to perish in the jaws of the mutated beasts again?"
"Don't panic, everyone! Pick up your weapons and protect our post-apocalyptic home!"
Many people in the gathering place ran directly out of the gathering place and rushed towards the more distant suburbs without looking back.
Some simply gave up resistance, lying in their settlements waiting to die, with no intention of escaping.
Only a small number of people resolutely took up arms, rushed out of the settlement, waited for the wolf pack to approach, and prepared to fight them to the death.
......
From afar, Huang Zhao could see the situation at the gathering place ahead.
It's unclear what's inside the settlement, but people are escaping from all directions, fleeing away from the wolf pack.
His eyes also caught sight of people rushing out from the direction the wolf pack was approaching.
"It seems to be just a spontaneous gathering place, and there is no unified voice yet."
Looking at the chaotic scene at the camp, Huang Zhao seemed to be deep in thought, and said to the Wolf King:
"Wolf King, please wait here for a moment. I'll go and find out what's going on."
Upon hearing Huang Zhao's words, the wolf king raised its head and let out a long howl.
Awoo!
The wolf pack, which was advancing, stopped its charge at the command of the wolf alpha, stopping about one kilometer from their gathering place.
Huang Zhao, on the shoulder of the Vajra, continued to rush towards the gathering place at an extremely fast speed.
"Stop!"
A loud, powerful shout.
Huang Zhao was just passing by and had no intention of putting the survivors in the settlement into wilderness survival mode.
Therefore, it's better to call people back, since in the apocalypse, only by uniting can humanity possibly fight off zombies that outnumber humans a hundredfold.
There is a model of such a gathering place, and there will always be an awakening voice leading everyone to stand up.
By uniting the strength of the community, we can unleash its power a hundredfold.
When Huang Zhao roared, the fleeing survivors all looked in his direction in confusion.
Only then did they notice Huang Zhao, clad in armor, perched atop the towering Vajra shoulder, which was several meters high.
"It looks like a human?"
"The wolf pack seems to have stopped too."
"We don't need to run anymore?"
Amidst the murmurs and discussions, Huang Zhao was heard saying:
"The wolf pack is just passing through and will not harm you. We will leave soon."
After saying that, Huang Zhao directed Jin Gang to walk towards the dozens of people who rushed out of the gathering place.
As expected, the group that rushed out were still the official soldiers and armed police from before the apocalypse.
They were all holding guns, but their hands were trembling slightly, clearly indicating that they knew they couldn't possibly deal with so many mutated beasts.
But they still rushed out, just to protect the survivors in the settlement behind them.
Huang Zhao neither approved nor disapproved of these people's actions, but that did not prevent him from expressing his admiration for them.
Leaping off King Kong's shoulder and approaching the group, Huang Zhao said:
"Don't worry, we mean no harm!"
The middle-aged man who led the survivors looked like he was wearing armor, but he was probably human.
With a hint of doubt in his voice, he asked Huang Zhao:
"Who are you? Do you control this gorilla and the wolf pack behind it? Come here..."
A series of questions prompted Huang Zhao to interrupt directly:
"I just happened to be passing by; these mutated beasts won't easily harm you."
You don't need to know anything else.
Huang Zhao extended his mental perception area to the gathering place behind them.
They discovered many elderly, weak, and women hiding inside the building, and a thought suddenly struck them.
'Wolves fighting zombies definitely need a base of operations; they can't always be sleeping in the wild.'
Why not let the wolf king befriend the people of this settlement and work together to fight the zombies in the city?
The corpses were given to the wolf pack, and the crystals were given to humans to absorb and enhance their strength.
Humans can also provide logistical support and shelter for the wolf pack, working together to fight off the zombies.
Huang Zhao felt that his idea was feasible, so he did it.
Huang Zhao looked at the middle-aged man leading the group and sensed that this man had awakened a superpower: the flesh-based ability.
It is still in the state of a level one unabsorbed energy crystal, and obviously does not know the secret of the zombie crystal.
In Huang Zhao's mental perception, there were still nearly two thousand people in the gathering place ahead, of whom about a dozen had awakened supernatural abilities.
It's true that might makes right. Even with elemental and beast-type abilities, they're not as strong as tanky builds in the early game.
"Are you the boss of this settlement?"
"My name is Yang Lan, and I am one of the three team leaders of this gathering place."
These are all members of our settlement's security team, most of whom served in the military or worked as police officers before the apocalypse.
Having learned of Huang Zhao's strength, Yang Lan dared not be negligent and ordered everyone to lower their guns.
He continued:
"We are responsible for protecting the safety of this settlement, where most of the survivors are people who escaped from Jin City."
The zombies in the city are so dense that there is simply no space for humans to move around.
There are still military soldiers at our settlement, and they have now taken other members into the city to meet and rescue other survivors.
Right now, the only people in the settlement are us and a few others who are unable to go out to search for supplies.
Yang Lan directly explained the current situation of this gathering place, allowing Huang Zhao to understand their situation clearly.
After all, in Yang Lan's view, there was nothing about their gathering place that Huang Zhao was interested in.
