Chapter 169 Loneliness



"You mean, where is Li Yu?"

A pair of red eyes looked in the direction the officer pointed.

At the edge of the horizon, one can vaguely see a Great Wall standing in the distance.

The officer nodded with difficulty to the little girl; his decaying body already resembled a zombie.

And next to that little girl was an even more gruesome sight.

Various strange beasts, animals, and human figures were interspersed together, and without exception, they were all corpses that had lost their lives.

At this moment, under the little girl's supernatural power, all the dead corpses were transformed into terrifying necromancy, which followed closely behind her.

Looking around, countless corpse variants had already gathered around the little girl, forming a dense, red wall of corpses.

These necromancers all had eerie red eyes that gleamed as they swayed and staggered like zombies.

Only the officer-like necromancer at the very front seemed to retain a trace of intelligence; it could not only understand the little girl's instructions but also give her directions.

With the little girl's control, the massive army of mutated corpses continued its mighty advance.

Before long, they arrived at the battlefield of the Central Plains defense line.

Various strange beasts and human corpses began to appear on the ground around them.

Some were relatively intact, while others were just broken limb remains.

As they got closer to the Great Wall, the number of corpses around them increased, and the air was thick with the stench of blood and death.

Faced with such a horrific scene, the little girl showed no fear whatsoever; instead, her red eyes shone with excitement.

Her innocent little face beamed with uncontainable joy, and she kept murmuring to herself:

"Is this the legendary paradise?"

The little girl became increasingly certain: "Following Li Yu was definitely the right thing to do!"

Since following Li Yu, she has encountered more and more corpses, and they have become increasingly powerful, which has led to a continuous improvement in her abilities.

As long as she continues to follow Li Yu, she will definitely become stronger!

Thinking of this, the little girl stepped forward without hesitation, her gaze precisely fixed on the two relatively intact corpses on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, she placed her hands on the corpse and activated her supernatural power.

The red energy flashed by, and the transformation was successful.

Suddenly, the eyes of the two previously lifeless corpses snapped open, glowing with an eerie red light.

Although they had been dead for a long time, they seemed to be awakened by some mysterious force and struggled to stand up again.

At the same time, a mysterious red energy nourished her petite body.

Long ago, the little girl was already a second-tier awakener. Even those corpses that had long since died could be successfully transformed into necromancy variants under her control.

In this way, along the way, she continuously transformed and manipulated one zombie variant after another, and her own superpowers unknowingly surpassed those of the vast majority of awakened beings.

The little girl could truly feel the upgrade in her superpower.

However, talking to the corpse variants every day also made her feel bored and tedious.

Although she can use her powers to drive them to complete various tasks, this one-way communication is just too boring.

So, deep down, the little girl couldn't help but feel the urge to act with others.

Even Li Yu, who had given her the meat of a strange beast.

She just needs someone to talk to.

A resolute glint flashed in her red eyes; she didn't want to walk alone anymore.

......

The underground base of Yan City.

"Report."

A shadowy soldier emerged slowly from the darkness in the corner like a ghost.

"explain."

Upon hearing this, Kim Jong-un turned around and looked at the soldier.

As the shadow's subordinate, Kim Sam was sitting in the shadow's seat with an air of nonchalance.

His demeanor was quite convincing, as if he were the one in charge here.

However, the shadow soldier seemed to ignore Kim Jong-un's blatant overstepping of boundaries, and continued to report respectfully to Kim Jong-un with his head bowed:

"The frontline beast suicide attacks have ended. His defenses have suffered varying degrees of damage, only..." The shadow soldier paused.

"Only what?" Kim Jong-un pressed in a deep voice.

"Only the eastern region of Zhongzhou is a special case. All the attacks by the alien beasts there ended in failure, and not a single one of them was able to reach the Great Wall."

"Furthermore, according to our beast controllers, some people have been using crossbows to kill the beasts."

"Crossbow!?"

Upon hearing this word, Kim Jong-un instantly stood up from his seat.

His face was terribly grim as he stared at the shadowy soldier before him and demanded sharply:

Is this information accurate?

“Absolutely right,” the shadow soldier replied immediately.

Immediately afterward, the soldier hesitated for a moment, then cautiously inquired:

"Should we report the matter of the crossbows to Lord Shadow?"

"No!"

Kim Jong-un raised his hand in refusal, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes:

"I'll handle this person myself!"

Kim Sam knew the Shadow Master's concerns, and even if he told the Shadow Master about this, the Shadow Master might not take action personally.

He remained silent for a moment, pondering deeply in his mind:

The seven alliances have simultaneously launched a war against Zhongzhou and have begun a full-scale offensive.

General Zhongzhou must also be wary of the Shadow Master's possible attack at any time and be on guard at all times.

In this way, the General of Zhongzhou would certainly not be able to attend to a minor figure on the defensive line.

Moreover, unlike the Shadow Master, he didn't possess an undeniable and powerful aura.

With his years of experience in stealth, even if he secretly infiltrated deep into the defenses of Zhongzhou, the high-ranking general of Zhongzhou would probably not notice anything amiss, and might not even notice him at all.

Thinking of this, Kim Jong-un couldn't help but nod to himself, filled with confidence.

"Hmph, he's just a guy who relies on weapons. How much ability can he possibly have on his own?"

Kim Sam was convinced that someone like Lee Yu, who relied on weapons, was not worth the Shadow's attention.

He lowered his voice and muttered to himself:

"As long as I find the right opportunity to strike secretly, I can kill that damned crossbowman on the defensive line without anyone noticing."

"Once I return here with the archer's head, I will tell the Shadow Master the news. I'm afraid the Shadow Master won't be able to blame himself for acting on his own."

As he spoke, Kim Jong-un's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sly smile.

Clearly, in his view, this meticulously planned scheme was flawless, and success was within reach!

He reached out his metal hand, as hard as steel, and gently picked up Li Yu's file on the table. What came into view was Li Yu's portrait.

"That's the guy!"
