The Corpse King Attacks

The situation was quite clear.

Years ago, Li Zhongxi had dug out a zombie's heart in a Secret Realm, using it to control zombies and create hundreds of smaller zombies by feeding on human blood.

Later, that zombie, having consumed too much blood, successfully evolved, leading to a loss of control!

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

After Li Zhongxi emerged, he likely realized he was as good as dead and that his family was also in danger. So, he arranged for his younger brother, Li Zairong, to be sent to Thailand to live under a new identity, in hiding.

He also entrusted the zombie's heart to his brother, Li Zairong.

Li Zairong, consumed by a desire for revenge for his family, finally got his chance with this Secret Realm.

Coincidentally.

Li Zairong turned out to be in the same graduating class as Chen Ye and Tang Zichen, and he also encountered the plan by other countries to assassinate Tang Zichen.

He hid among these chosen elites, waiting for enough people to gather before revealing himself.

His objective, naturally, was to let these top students from various countries feel fear and despair before they died!

Because Li Zairong had experienced it before.

So, he wanted these people to taste that same flavor!

If he had immediately awakened the evolved zombie upon entering the Secret Realm, he could have killed many people, but it felt like something was missing, not satisfying enough. That's why he 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 just happened to be caught in the crossfire.

The situation had developed to this point.

It was truly unexpected!

Everyone thought Tang Zichen was the protagonist of this Secret Realm.

Unexpectedly, she was actually a supporting character, and the real protagonist was someone else...

This twist left many present feeling incredulous and disbelieving.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey!!"

The Caucasian youth from America glared at Li Zairong in anger. "After I kill the monster you mentioned, I'm going to twist your head off and shove it up your ass!"

Facing the threat, Li Zairong appeared indifferent, completely unfazed.

"Stupid white pig, do you think you'll survive? The power of the evolved Jumping Corpse is far beyond your imagination."

Li Zairong laughed heartily, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

Seeing everyone looking at him with cold expressions, Li Zairong added, "What, you want to kill me? Then go ahead! I'm very satisfied to have so many of you accompanying me in death."

His expression was calm, without a trace of fear, clearly showing his resolve to die.

Faced with someone who wasn't afraid of death, everyone was at a loss.

Someone noticed the still-pulsating heart on the ground and immediately said, "Quickly destroy the monster's heart!"

The people nearby swarmed forward, chopping the heart to pieces with their alloy weapons.

Unexpectedly.

As soon as the heart was destroyed, another howl echoed from the distance.

"Roar!!"

This time, the monster's roar seemed filled with rage and was incredibly piercing.

Everyone's hearts trembled upon hearing it!

Moreover, it sounded like the monster was much closer than before.

This indicated that the monster was rapidly approaching them.

Some of the timid were already terrified and turned to flee.

Seeing this, Li Zairong burst into laughter and uttered a cryptic remark:

"Hey! Skinny gentlemen, don't run away!"

By this point, no one was paying attention to him anymore.

Seeing their companions fleeing, others also felt the urge to retreat.

The Japanese youth, being knowledgeable, immediately shouted to stop them: "No one can leave!"

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

The Japanese youth's words actually managed to calm everyone down.

They realized the logic in his statement and decided to work together to kill the monster first!

As for Tang Zichen, the objective of this mission, they certainly couldn't worry about her for now...

Any fool would know that fighting Tang Zichen head-on at this moment would only result in mutual destruction, making it easier for the monster to kill them.

Li Zairong saw the changes in everyone.

He said nothing, just sneered, then looked into the distance with anticipation.

"Hoo!"

Suddenly!

A gust of cold wind blew.

The surrounding temperature instantly dropped several degrees.

Many people felt a chill and shivered involuntarily.

Chen Ye, standing next to Tang Zichen, frowned slightly and immediately looked around, his eyes vigilant.

According to the movie plot.

When a cold wind starts to appear, it usually means a zombie is approaching...

To be honest.

If it weren't for Li Zairong's troublesome interference, Chen Ye wouldn't have been afraid of being ganged up on by these people.

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

If Li Zairong hadn't jumped out just now, he would have already beaten all these punks to the ground.

Now.

With the evolved zombies about to appear, Chen Ye was a little worried.

Mainly because he didn't know the strength of this zombie.

He was a cautious person, and naturally preferred to play it safe when the enemy's strength was unknown.

He wasn't bald yet.

Being careful was definitely the right move.

"Class monitor, if things go south later, I'll take you and run. Just cooperate."

Chen Ye whispered.

At his current speed, if he ran at full throttle, it would definitely be exaggerated.

Although Chen Ye hadn't tested it specifically, he was very confident he could instantly kill a car.

Combined with his strength, taking someone along to escape would be absolutely no problem.

Especially since Tang Zichen was quite slender, her weight estimated to be around a hundred pounds.

This was even with her being tall.

To be perfectly honest, at a hundred pounds, Chen Ye could lift her without using his hands...

"You'll take me?"

Tang Zichen asked, confused. "How do you want me to cooperate?"

"Uh!" Chen Ye faltered, then said, "Don't struggle. It's best if you actively hold onto me tightly. I'm afraid if I move at full speed, it'll hurt you a lot (due to wind resistance)!"

Tang Zichen: "..."

You better be talking about something proper!

At this moment.

Someone suddenly exclaimed.

"Monster... the monster is here!"

Everyone heard the shout and immediately looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a dark figure that had, at some point, appeared to the front left.

The dark figure stared at everyone, unmoving, standing there as if relaxed.

In the moonlight, everyone could vaguely make out the shape of the dark figure.

The first thing that caught everyone's eye was a pair of exaggerated fangs, sharper and longer than those of a large feline...

It was clad in tattered long robes, with a lot of black skin exposed. Beneath a messy head of hair like dry grass was a black face with severely peeling skin...

What was most surprising were its eyes.

Unlike the scarlet eyes of other zombies.

They were like human eyes, with black pupils.

At this moment, its eyes were fixed on everyone, its gaze alive, as if it had gained intelligence.

This book has many areas where it's not written well, I know that. Mainly I used to write short stories, and this is my first time writing a long-form novel, so I'm still somewhat of a novice... Of course, I'm not saying this to ask for the readers' indulgence. If you don't like it, it's perfectly natural for you to abandon the book. I've been reading the reviews and hope everyone can offer more good suggestions. If there are parts that are poorly written, feel free to criticize!
