The Corpse King Attacks

The matter was already clear.

Back then, Li Zhongxi had dug out a zombie's heart in the secret realm. He used it to control the zombie, making it drink human blood and turning hundreds of living people into lesser zombies.

Later, that zombie drank too much blood and successfully evolved, causing the situation to spiral out of control!

Li Zhongxi had escaped, but he had doomed countless people from his own class.

After Li Zhongxi got out, he had probably realized that he was as good as dead, and that even his family might be in danger. So, he found a way to send his younger brother, "Li Zairong," to Thailand, where he lived under a false name and assumed a new identity.

At the same time, he gave the zombie's heart to his younger brother, Li Zairong.

Li Zairong had been single-mindedly seeking revenge for his family, and he had finally waited for this opportunity in the secret realm.

Coincidentally.

Li Zairong was actually in the same class as Chen Ye, Tang Zichen, and the others, and he had also run into the plan by people from other countries to assassinate Tang Zichen.

So he hid among these gifted students and waited until nearly everyone had gathered before stepping forward.

As for his purpose, it was naturally to make these top students from various countries experience fear and despair before they died!

Because Li Zairong had experienced it before.

So he wanted these people to have a taste of it too!

If he had awakened that evolved zombie as soon as he entered the secret realm, it could still have killed many people. But it would have felt like something was missing, not thrilling enough, which was why he had endured until today.

It could be said that even without Tang Zichen, Li Zairong would have awakened the evolved zombie this time.

Chen Ye and Tang Zichen had merely happened to get caught up in it.

Things had developed to this point.

It truly took everyone by surprise!

They had thought Tang Zichen was the protagonist of this secret realm expedition.

Who would have thought that she was actually just a supporting character, while someone else was the true protagonist...

Such a reversal left many people present feeling incredulous and unable to believe it.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey!!"

The American white youth from earlier glared furiously at Li Zairong. "After I kill the monster you mentioned, I'll twist off your head and shove it up your ass!"

Faced with the threat, Li Zairong looked completely unconcerned.

"You stupid white pig, do you think you'll still be alive? The evolved Jumping Corpse is far more powerful than you can imagine."

Li Zairong laughed loudly and swept his gaze across the crowd.

Seeing everyone staring coldly at him, Li Zairong added, "What, you want to kill me? Then do it! With so many of you accompanying me in death, I'm very satisfied."

His expression was calm, without the slightest trace of fear. He was clearly prepared to die.

Faced with someone who was not even afraid of death, there was nothing the others could do.

Someone noticed the heart still twitching on the ground and immediately shouted, "Destroy the monster's heart!"

The people nearby rushed forward and hacked the heart to pieces with alloy weapons.

Unexpectedly.

The moment the heart was destroyed, another howl came from afar.

"Roar!!"

This time, the monster's cry seemed to carry rage and was incredibly piercing.

Everyone's hearts trembled at the sound!

Moreover, it sounded much closer than before.

That meant the monster was rapidly approaching them.

Some of the more timid ones had already lost their nerve and turned to run.

Seeing this, Li Zairong laughed loudly and said something baffling:

"Hey! You scrawny old men, don't run!"

At this point, no one paid attention to him anymore.

When the others saw their companions fleeing, they too began to consider retreating.

The Japanese youth was knowledgeable. He immediately shouted to stop them, "No one can leave!"

"You should all have heard your school teachers talk about how powerful this monster is. If we join forces, we still have a chance to kill it. But if we scatter and run, we'll only die faster! Its movement speed is definitely many times faster than yours."

The Japanese youth's words actually calmed everyone down.

They understood that he had a point, so they decided to work together and kill the monster first!

As for Tang Zichen, the target of this mission, they definitely could not spare any attention for her for the time being...

Even an idiot knew that fighting Tang Zichen head-on now would only leave both sides wounded and make it easier for the monster to kill them.

Li Zairong saw everyone's change in attitude.

He said nothing, merely sneered before looking expectantly into the distance.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly!

A gust of eerie wind blew over.

The surrounding temperature instantly dropped by several degrees.

Many people felt a chill invade their bodies and instinctively shivered.

Standing beside Tang Zichen, Chen Ye frowned slightly and immediately looked around vigilantly.

According to movie plots.

When an eerie wind began to blow, it generally meant that the zombie was already nearby...

To be honest.

If not for Li Zairong's mess, Chen Ye would not have feared being surrounded and attacked by these people at all.

As fellow freshmen, he knew very well what kind of strength the other freshmen possessed.

If Li Zairong had not jumped out earlier, he would have already ground all these little punks into the dirt.

Now.

The evolved zombie was about to appear, which made Chen Ye somewhat worried.

Mainly because he did not know how strong this zombie was.

He was cautious by nature, so when he did not know an enemy's strength, he naturally preferred to play it safe.

He was not bald yet.

Being careful was definitely not wrong.

"Class monitor, if things go badly later, I'll take you and leave. Remember to cooperate with me."

Chen Ye spoke quietly.

With his current speed, if he ran at full speed, it would definitely be outrageous.

Although Chen Ye had never specifically tested it, he was confident he could easily outrun a car.

Combined with his strength, carrying someone while escaping would absolutely not be a problem.

Especially since Tang Zichen was rather slender. He estimated that she weighed only around a hundred pounds.

That was only because she was tall.

A hundred pounds was not much at all. Chen Ye could lift her with his shoulder without even using his hands...

"You'll take me away?"

Tang Zichen looked puzzled. "How do you want me to cooperate?"

"Uh!" Chen Ye froze for a moment before saying, "Don't struggle. It would be best if you held onto me tightly on your own. I'm afraid you'll be in a lot of pain when I move at full speed because of the wind resistance!"

Tang Zichen: "..."

You'd better mean that in a proper way!

At that moment.

Someone suddenly cried out.

"The monster... the monster is here!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw a black shadow that had appeared at the front left at some unknown time.

The shadow stared at them without moving, standing there as casually as a pine tree.

By the moonlight, everyone could barely make out its outline.

The first thing that entered their sight was a pair of exaggerated fangs, sharper and longer than the canine teeth of large felines...

It was wrapped in a tattered long robe. Much of its pitch-black skin was exposed, and beneath a mess of straw-like hair was a severely peeling black face...

What surprised everyone the most were its eyes.

They were not scarlet like those of other zombies.

Instead, just like human eyes, its pupils were black.

At that moment, its eyes were fixed on the crowd, its gaze vivid, as though it had already gained intelligence.

There were many parts of this book that were not written well, and I know that. I mainly used to write short stories, and this is my first time writing a long novel, so I'm still half a newcomer... Of course, I'm not saying this to ask the esteemed readers to go easy on me. If you find it unpleasant to read, dropping the book is perfectly natural. I've been reading the reviews, and I hope everyone can offer more good suggestions. If there are parts that aren't written well, then criticize them as much as you should!!
