Huang Zhao then began to launch a mental attack, killing large numbers of level-two mutated bullfrogs.
Every 10 seconds, more than ten level-two mutated bullfrogs die.
"Croak!!!"
A loud, clear croak came from the direction of the river embankment, and the approaching swarm of frogs immediately turned and retreated.
"As expected, the Frog King is here."
From the imposing tone of the voice, Huang Zhao could roughly gauge the strength of this creature.
It must be a level four or higher mutated beast.
The frog swarm's retreat was definitely because Huang Zhao's speed in killing the mutated bullfrogs made even the Frog King feel the pinch.
"Since you don't intend to show yourself, then don't come ashore again!"
Be a good king in the water!
"Awooo!!"
In response to Huang Zhao's harsh words, Jin Gang pounded his thick chest with both fists, producing a dull metallic clang as they collided.
Huang Zhao manipulated Chen Run to collect the mutated bullfrog carcasses that the frog swarm hadn't had time to take with them into his special ability space.
The group then returned to the highway, preparing to continue their journey.
......
The sky had completely darkened as night fell.
After traveling about 20 kilometers and passing the boundary marker of Ganzhou City, Huang Zhao and his group left and entered the largest city in Ganzhou Province.
Traveling in the dark, Huang Zhao asked Jin Gang to slow down.
Although Huang Zhao's mental perception area is not affected by the night, moving at a slower speed will give him more time to react to unexpected situations.
We've already exceeded our goal for today's journey; every step forward is a bonus.
There will be more time to travel tomorrow, so Huang Zhao is no longer in a hurry and will let things take their course, going as far as he can.
Ganzhou is the largest city in Jiangxi Province, with an area more than five times larger than that of Changnan, the provincial capital.
It serves as a transitional zone extending from the southeastern coastal region to the central inland areas, and also as an important passage connecting the inland areas to the southeastern coast.
However, the interior is mostly mountainous, hilly, and basin-like, making it a truly sparsely populated area.
Huang Zhao traveled nearly 100 kilometers on the highway in Ganzhou, except for the zombies trapped inside the vehicle and unable to escape.
Huang Zhao didn't even see a single zombie wandering around.
"If the journey had been this easy, we would have arrived in Guangzhou long ago."
Compared to the previous journey where they would encounter large numbers of zombies every so often, the current leisurely pace made Huang Zhao feel somewhat uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but complain.
“Ganzhou is sparsely populated, with the population concentrated in the city.”
"Isn't it nice to be peaceful like this? After a whole day of excitement, you're exhausted."
"It's just a pity that it's been raining all day. Otherwise, with some moonlight, it would be quite nice in these mountains."
Once the topic was started, the group immediately began to confide in each other through their mental connection.
"Stop and rest when you reach Gongzhang District. The city center is just ahead."
There are too many zombies inside; we'll go around to the outskirts of the city during the day.
After defeating the swarm of frogs, we advanced another 200 kilometers, and it was nearly 9 p.m.
Huang Zhao decided to rest nearby for the night.
"Senior brother, there seems to be some light ahead!"
Huang Zhao, who was observing the situation in his mental perception area, came back to his senses and looked ahead.
Just as Ning Chuxia said, there was a small village with faint lights in the distance just before they entered the town.
It appeared to be a lit candle, which Ning Chuxia discovered through a window that wasn't properly sealed.
Even the faintest light can be seen from a great distance in the pitch-black night.
"King Kong, slowly approach. Let's rest in that little village tonight."
Huang Zhao said to Jin Gang.
Since there are human survivors living here, there shouldn't be too many zombies in the surrounding area.
Although there is a mental perception zone, there is no need to worry about danger suddenly approaching.
However, Huang Zhao did not want to spend the night directly in the wild.
Upon hearing Huang Zhao's request, Jin Gang immediately slowed down and headed towards the small village.
It wasn't much different from other settlements we saw along the way, even though the village only had about twenty buildings.
The outer perimeter was also enclosed by a simple fence about two meters high, made of various wooden planks and iron mesh.
All the survivors in the village gathered in the tallest five-story building in the village.
There were about thirty people living on each floor. On the roof, there was a young man with binoculars around his neck, who seemed to be on guard.
However, perhaps because the surroundings were too calm, he was dozing on the rooftop and did not notice the approaching King Kong.
Seeing this, Huang Zhao was a little angry. As someone on night duty guarding against danger, he was actually dozing off at night.
This is a dangerous apocalypse. If danger approaches and goes unnoticed, the rest of the village may not even have time to react.
Huang Zhao skillfully gathered his mental energy to completely envelop the Vajra, masking any noise caused during the journey.
King Kong easily stepped over the fence, which was only a little over two meters high, and arrived at the five-story building where the man on night duty was located.
"Hello!"
The sudden sound in the quiet night startled the dozing man so much that he tumbled off his chair.
"Aaaaaah! There's a ghost!!!"
The man, startled awake, opened his sleepy eyes in a panic and immediately saw King Kong's enormous head staring at him.
King Kong's height was just one head taller than the five-story building, and Huang Zhao and the others, who were standing on King Kong's shoulders, could also look down at the man who had fallen to the ground.
Fumbling haphazardly, the man pulled on a rope that led to all the buildings where survivors lived.
A soft bell rang, startling the other survivors from their sleep.
The noise wasn't loud, just loud enough for people inside the room to hear; if it were too loud, it might attract zombies from the surrounding area.
The moment the bell rang, more than ten men quickly jumped up and rushed to the roof.
The others also quickly got up and rushed to the first floor of the building, pushed open a hidden door, and hid in the basement.
Huang Zhao observed this scene through his mental perception area; clearly, the survivors of this village had rehearsed it many times.
After encountering danger, they evacuated in an orderly manner without panic.
In Huang Zhao's spiritual perception, these people were all ordinary people who had not absorbed the crystal energy.
However, he has already achieved a level of composure that even those with superpowers cannot do, which Huang Zhao admires.
I think that if nothing unexpected happens, these people should be able to live well in the apocalypse.
"Aren't you supposed to be on night watch? Are you afraid of ghosts and still on night watch alone?"
Huang Zhao watched the young man on night duty with great interest.
"You...are human?"
Because it was too dark, Li Jiuxu had only seen the eyes of the giant diamond, which were as big as bowls, and was greatly frightened.
After their eyes adjusted to the dim light of the night, they could immediately see Huang Zhao and his group, who were dressed in armor.
