The moment he saw the zombie.

A classic zombie movie subconsciously popped into Chen Ye's mind.

It was "Mr. Vampire," released in 1985 on Earth!

This evolved zombie before him shared many similarities with the movie's big boss zombie, "Old Master Ren."

In the movie, Old Master Ren also evolved after absorbing the blood of his direct descendants, gaining a significant increase in power.

He also developed intelligence, knowing how to ambush and dodge, and his body was no longer stiff.

The zombie before him had eyes that resembled Old Master Ren's after he gained intelligence, and its arms hung naturally, indicating its body was no longer stiff.

All these signs.

Allowed Chen Ye to judge.

This guy's current strength should be around the same level as the evolved Old Master Ren.

Subsequently, Chen Ye's mind recalled Old Master Ren's performance in the movie...

Invulnerable to blades and spears!

It was truly invulnerable to blades and spears!

There was a scene in the movie where Uncle Jiu, holding a large saber, swung with all his might at Old Master Ren's head.

The result was only a slight dusting, and Old Master Ren was completely unharmed.

It was important to note that Uncle Jiu was skilled in martial arts.

The saber strike he unleashed was definitely much stronger than an ordinary person's.

Chen Ye's current body also possessed astonishing defense, capable of withstanding pistol bullets.

Even so, his defense still couldn't compare to Old Master Ren after his first evolution!

In addition to its terrifying defense.

After evolving, the zombie's strength also increased exponentially.

In the movie, even with Uncle Jiu, his disciple, and his junior fellow disciple, Four-Eyed Taoist, working together, they were still crushed by the evolved Old Master Ren.

If not for the fortunate coincidence of burning the zombie to death in the end, they might have all been wiped out!

Judging by its performance in the movie.

The evolved zombie.

Was indeed terrifying!

No wonder Li Zairong's brother, by creating an evolved zombie, lost all control, leading to heavy casualties among that year's freshmen.

With the freshmen's strength, encountering a zombie like Old Master Ren would only result in slaughter.

Even someone with Tang Zichen's talent and abilities would meet a dead end.

Recalling these events.

Chen Ye's expression remained calm.

If the opponent was truly at Old Master Ren's level, then he could stand tall.

Perhaps in terms of defense, he was inferior to the evolved zombie.

There was no helping it.

Zombies were inherently known for their strong defense.

But in terms of strength, Chen Ye could easily overpower it.

Not to mention speed!

Furthermore, after evolving once, the zombie's weaknesses remained obvious: it feared glutinous rice, it feared fire...

Of course.

All of this was Chen Ye's speculation and judgment.

The actual strength of the zombie before him would depend on its subsequent performance.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a gunshot broke the tense and oppressive atmosphere at the scene.

Chen Ye's reflexes were quick, and he clearly detected that the bullet came from the direction of the Japanese team.

Someone in the Japanese team had brought a gun.

These scoundrels, bringing guns, were likely targeting Tang Zichen.

Now, however, they were using it on the evolved zombie.

"Clang!"

The gunman's aim was good, and the bullet directly hit the evolved zombie's head.

However, the headshot scene they imagined didn't appear. The bullet struck the zombie's forehead with a crisp sound, sparks flying.

It was as if it had hit a steel plate!

This sight shocked everyone.

This defense was too terrifying!

"Roar!"

Perhaps the bullet's attack had angered the zombie.

The zombie, which had been motionless, roared and lunged at the crowd.

The zombie's movements weren't particularly fast, but it could glide through the air. With a leap, it appeared directly in front of everyone...

As if it were flying.

Many of these new recruits possessed S-class talent.

They were, in essence, the chosen ones!

Chen Ye had initially thought that even if they weren't a match for the evolved zombie, they could at least put up a fight for a while.

However, the result left him greatly disappointed...

At first.

These individuals did try to kill the zombie. Seeing it lunge at them, they raised their alloy weapons and charged forward.

Unfortunately.

Their sharp weapons only made "ding ding dang dang" sounds when they struck the evolved zombie.

Apart from scratching the zombie's clothes, they couldn't leave even a single mark on its body.

Soon, the first unlucky soul appeared.

It was a black man, nearly two meters tall, who was caught by the zombie's claw on his stomach, his insides spilling out.

Blood and intestines gushed out, creating an extremely gruesome scene.

"Ah!!"

This unlucky fellow let out a dying scream.

Seeing this, the others immediately lost their courage.

Then, they completely disregarded their teammates and fled like headless chickens.

Concepts like 'cooperation' and 'unity' were cast aside.

Now, they only wished they had more legs to run faster than their teammates.

The performance of these so-called chosen ones in front of the evolved zombie was worse than that of ordinary recruits...

Of course.

Chen Ye knew he couldn't blame them.

These were just new recruits. Although they had successfully bonded with S-class Hero talents, they couldn't immediately become S-class Heroes.

To gain powerful combat strength, they needed accumulated training and the struggle for survival in Secret Realms to slowly grow stronger.

Currently, they were only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

Their greatest reliance was the weapons in their hands.

Once even their weapons were useless against the zombie, they would just be waiting for death even if they didn't run.

Therefore.

The outcome of this battle had already been decided.

Next.

It was a one-sided slaughter.

This evolved zombie indeed possessed a considerable amount of intelligence and was extremely bloodthirsty.

It didn't rush to drink blood but used its sharp claws to send these fleeing recruits to their deaths, one by one.

This was its way of retaliating for them destroying its heart.

Judging by its actions, it intended to kill everyone first!

"Run!"

"Damn it! It's catching up."

"Tom, save me!!"

Screams, fear, wails, despair...

The entire scene descended into chaos for a moment.

The evolved zombie killed with incredible speed. In just a few breaths, over a dozen people had fallen victim to its claws.

Blood and severed limbs quickly littered the ground.

It was like a scene from hell!

Chen Ye didn't run.

His gaze remained fixed on the evolved zombie, observing its movements and destructive power, analyzing its strength.

After some observation, he could basically confirm that this evolved zombie's strength was not much different from Old Master Ren in the movies.

Perhaps slightly stronger than Old Master Ren.

But not significantly so.

At this moment.

The evolved zombie seemed to notice Chen Ye and Tang Zichen, and it lunged towards them.

"Chen Ye, hurry and go!!"

Tang Zichen's pretty face turned somewhat pale, her eyes grave as she urged Chen Ye to leave.

Yet, she herself did not move.

A green light began to emanate from her body, and two peach wood swords floated into the air, poised and ready.

It appeared she intended to buy Chen Ye time to escape.
