Huang Zhao casually tossed a level-three energy crystal with no attribute to Yang Lan, urging him to improve his strength as soon as possible.
As the leader of a community, without strong power, one will eventually lose the ability to command respect.
With this level-three energy crystal, he can more easily take over the settlement.
Relying on the wolf king won't truly win people over; you have to be strong yourself!
Although Huang Zhao didn't gain a deep understanding of Yang Lan's character during their hour-long interaction, he did gain initial approval from her.
As for whether he will be able to continue, Huang Zhao can confirm it again when he passes by on his return trip.
After dealing with the wolf pack, Huang Zhao prepared to leave and continue his journey.
He waved to the Wolf King and Yang Lan and said:
Farewell!
"Awoo! Human, remember this: from now on, my name will be Xiaotian!"
This is the name of the most powerful creature of their kind that humans consider to be the most powerful, which the Wolf King had asked Yang Lan about earlier.
"Yes, Xiaotian!"
dog...
Huang Zhao suppressed a smile, refrained from uttering the last word, and waved goodbye to them.
Huang Zhao and the other four climbed back onto Jin Gang's shoulders and headed towards the Jin City Ring Expressway.
With a population of over seven million, Huang Zhao had no intention of charging into the million-strong zombie horde again.
Awooo!!!
Behind him, nearly a thousand wolves howled to the sky, bidding farewell to their friend.
......
"Sigh, another hour has been wasted."
"But you saved thousands, even the entire survivors of Gold City!"
"That's right. If we hadn't encountered Xiaotian first, the gathering places outside Jin City would have all become its food."
Even if it takes some time, it's worth it.
Ning Chuxia and Alice offered words of comfort, expressing their admiration for Huang Zhao's ability to turn enemies into friends.
Pulling himself together, Huang Zhao looked at the increasing number of zombies ahead.
"We've covered less than a third of the journey so far. Let's try to get to Ganzhou before dark!"
"King Kong, can you still hold on?"
"Wow! I could run for another ten days straight without any problem!"
Once again marveling at the monstrous physique of the mutant beast, Huang Zhao reactivated his mental perception area and shifted his attention.
The number of zombies on the outer ring highway of the city is indeed not as dense as in the city center.
At King Kong's speed of 100 kilometers per hour, most zombies would only discover him upon first sight.
By the time they got close to King Kong, they could only see his back, let alone catch up with him.
Only level 3 flesh-type zombies can keep up with King Kong's speed.
However, there won't be many zombies of this level in the entire city.
At least for now, there aren't any little tails following him around, otherwise Huang Zhao wouldn't mind stopping to collect some extra money.
As they continued their journey, they indeed found, just as Yang Lan had said, that their location was not the only survivor settlement on the outskirts of the city.
Based on observations, at least three areas with a relatively large number of human survivors have been identified.
However, the number of survivors and the size of their settlement were not as large as the settlement where Yang Lan was located.
Huang Zhao did not stop his plan to investigate.
King Kong kept moving forward, passing over one wrecked car after another.
......
It was already around 3 p.m.
After circling the outer ring expressway of Jinshi, Huang Zhao and his group were about to leave the area of Jinshi.
Huang Zhao and his group were currently positioned approximately from the northeast of Jin City to the southwest.
Continue for another 50 kilometers and you will enter the next city.
"Lord, something seems off about the horde of corpses ahead!"
During the mental connection, Huang Zhao received a warning from Qin Yi.
Huang Zhao immediately refocused his attention and looked intently in the direction Qin Yi was pointing.
Two kilometers away in the direction King Kong was heading, near the city center, it was visible.
A group of nearly 10,000 zombies seemed to be attracted and gathered together by something.
"It's possible that a survivor made a noise that was discovered by the zombies."
To venture so close to the city is utterly reckless.
Should we go and rescue them?
"Let's go over and take a look, and while we're at it, we can lure the zombies away. Whether they can escape or not is up to them."
During the long journey, Huang Zhao's spiritual perception had already seen far too many survivors surrounded by zombies.
When the number of zombies is small, Huang Zhao will directly use mental attacks to deal with them and lend a hand.
However, if there are too many, Huang Zhao will not stop to send Jin Gang over to provide support.
After all, Huang Zhao didn't come out to rescue survivors this time; he had his own goals.
If he had rescued every survivor he saw, he probably wouldn't have even made it out of Shanghai yet.
Qin Yi had no objection to Huang Zhao's actions.
It's already the tenth day of the apocalypse, and we still haven't figured out the habits of the zombies. Doing something so reckless is just asking for trouble.
Huang Zhao was already being more than kind by being willing to distract some of the zombies.
Following Huang Zhao's instructions, King Kong deviated from its route and rushed towards the location where the zombies were surrounding it.
He reached out and took the weapon Huang Zhao had given him, ready to unleash his mowing-down-enemies mode.
......
When they got about one kilometer away from the horde of corpses.
Huang Zhao felt as if his mental perception area had collided with something, causing it to fluctuate violently.
This feeling gave Huang Zhao a sense of familiarity, and he immediately thought of that night in Shanghai.
Corpse King!
Huang Zhao's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly stabilized his mental perception area.
Mental energy crystal! Enhance your talent!
"Isn't this just a windfall of experience points?"
Huang Zhao was excited. If it really was the Corpse King, he couldn't let it get away no matter what.
King Kong's sprinting at full speed caused a commotion that immediately drew the attention of the horde of corpses ahead, causing them to turn around.
However, seemingly under some kind of control, it did not charge directly at King Kong.
"That's it, it must be the Corpse King!"
At this point, the distance was still quite far, and Huang Zhao's mental perception had not yet covered the horde of corpses, so he could not find the exact location of the Corpse King for the time being.
However, judging from the size of the zombies gathered around, there were only about 10,000 of them.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the Corpse King has not yet broken through to level four.
"Everyone be careful, the zombie king ahead might be controlling the zombies!"
Huang Zhao alerted others to be on guard via the mental connection.
At the same time, they used their supernatural abilities to create a mental shield outside everyone's minds to prevent them from being injured by the Corpse King's mental attack.
"King Kong, charge towards that area where the zombies are gathering!"
Relying on King Kong's formidable strength, Huang Zhao directly commanded King Kong to charge towards the horde of corpses.
"Charge, King Kong!"
Alice waved her little fists to cheer on King Kong, not taking the Corpse King seriously.
Of the group, only Ning Chuxia was unaware of what the Corpse King was or why Huang Zhao was being so cautious.
Alice and Qin Yi were aware of the significance of the Corpse King's energy crystal to Huang Zhao and the threat posed by the Corpse King itself.
The Corpse King's sensory area was crushed by Huang Zhao's mental power, offering no resistance whatsoever.
Huang Zhao felt relieved; it seemed the Corpse King's level was indeed not high.
