Chapter 39: Anomaly, Commanding the Horde (Seeking Reads)

"Chen Ye, don't just stand there, hurry up and go!"

It was clear.

Tang Zichen was very nervous and a little scared at this moment.

After all, she was just an 18-year-old girl.

And the ferocity of this evolved zombie in front of them was truly terrifying.

Look at those new students, many of them were grown men, who had been quite arrogant before, but now they were all scared out of their wits by the evolved zombie, using all their strength just to escape.

They ignored the cries for help from their teammates.

There were even a few despicable and shameless individuals who deliberately pushed their teammates towards the zombie to buy themselves a sliver of survival.

In the face of life and death, these people's behavior was truly ugly.

Compared to these people.

Tang Zichen was practically an anomaly.

Even now, she hadn't forgotten her mission: to take good care of Chen Ye.

This was her promise to Chairman Chen!

At this moment, Tang Zichen was also the only one on the scene who dared to draw her sword against the evolved zombie.

With this kind of courage and bravery, she was already countless times better than those useless people…

Of course, Chen Ye wasn't going to abandon Tang Zichen and run.

He walked closer to Tang Zichen and whispered, "Class monitor, don't worry, I have a secret weapon!"

"Secret weapon?" Tang Zichen was surprised.

"That's right, it's absolutely hard and powerful!"

He was talking about his fists!

But the girl clearly didn't think so.

Tang Zichen felt exhausted.

"It's this time, can't you be serious for once?"

Chen Ye: ???

Who wasn't being serious here?

As they spoke, the evolved zombie, having slaughtered its way through, had already charged over.

In fact, the zombie wasn't specifically targeting Tang Zichen and Chen Ye. On the contrary, those who were fleeing were its priority targets.

However, many people thought Tang Zichen was quite capable, and in order to survive, they subconsciously ran towards her, which inadvertently drew the evolved zombie over.

At this moment.

The evolved zombie was less than ten meters away from Tang Zichen and Chen Ye.

Tang Zichen couldn't bother with Chen Ye and immediately focused her attention, her whole body emitting a green light.

The next moment.

"Swish! Swish!"

Two peach wood swords, under Tang Zichen's control, shot towards the evolved zombie like arrows breaking through the air.

The girl was clearly going all out.

It was obvious that the evolved zombie had put too much pressure on her.

However, Chen Ye wasn't optimistic about Tang Zichen's attack.

In movies, peach wood swords could only restrain the lowest-level zombies. Against slightly more powerful zombies, even if wielded by a Taoist priest with magical powers, peach wood swords were still not very effective and were often broken.

Since the zombies in the Secret Realm followed the settings in those movies.

Then the attack of the peach wood swords should be no exception…

Chen Ye's judgment was correct.

The two peach wood swords controlled by Tang Zichen struck the evolved zombie like lightning.

The result was that they were directly repelled by the evolved zombie's formidable defense and fell to the ground.

Let alone breaking through its defenses, they couldn't even leave a scratch.

The evolved zombie didn't even glance at the peach wood swords, its steps unceasing, as it lunged towards them.

Tang Zichen's pretty face instantly turned pale.

At this moment.

The evolved zombie was already right in front of them.

Tang Zichen could even smell the rotten odor emanating from the evolved zombie.

The zombie wouldn't hold back just because Tang Zichen was a beautiful woman; it swiped at her with a claw.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of air being torn apart echoed.

One could imagine that if this swipe had hit Tang Zichen, the lovely young lady would have met her untimely end.

Tang Zichen also activated her telekinesis, attempting to stop the evolved zombie's attack.

But it was useless.

Her mental strength was still too weak; she couldn't budge the evolved zombie at all...

At the critical moment, A strong hand pulled Tang Zichen aside, allowing her to dodge the fatal blow.

Then, Chen Ye shielded her behind him, grabbed a handful of glutinous rice, and flung it at the evolved zombie.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As the glutinous rice came into contact with the evolved zombie, it crackled like firecrackers, sparks flying everywhere.

"Roar!"

The evolved zombie let out a pained cry and stumbled back two steps.

It didn't injure the zombie, but it did cause it some pain.

Its eyes fixed on Chen Ye, a look of confusion appearing in them.

It probably hadn't expected anything to be able to inflict pain on it.

This reaction aligned with Chen Ye's assessment: it was stronger than Old Master Ren!

In the movies, even after evolving, Old Master Ren was still terrified of glutinous rice; stepping on it caused him excruciating pain, preventing him from getting any closer.

Perhaps it was because Old Master Ren had been a zombie for too short a time, from his emergence to his evolution, compared to the zombie before him.

Using the glutinous rice to attack the zombie just now

was Chen Ye's final test to determine the strength of the zombie before him.

He wasn't bald yet, so he needed to be cautious!

Now, Chen Ye could finally relax a little.

Although the evolved zombie before him was stronger than Old Master Ren in the movie, it wasn't overwhelmingly so.

He could handle it completely!

Chen Ye stretched his wrists, then suddenly stopped.

It wasn't time for him to make a move yet.

The people around.

They hadn't all died yet!

These people had been quite arrogant earlier!

Not only did they want to eliminate Tang Zichen, but they were also unwilling to spare him, a weak and innocent underachiever, wanting to kill him off completely.

They were prouder than the workers at some clothing company!

As for these people.

Even if the zombie didn't kill them all tonight, Chen Ye intended to pound the remaining survivors into meat paste!

In Chen Ye's dictionary, there were no such annoying words as "saint" or "returning good for evil."

Therefore, Next, Chen Ye grabbed a handful of glutinous rice but didn't throw it, keeping it in his hand to intimidate the evolved zombie.

"Class monitor, let's retreat. Don't disturb its pleasure of killing people."

At this moment, Tang Zichen looked at Chen Ye with newfound respect. Hearing his words, she instinctively followed him, retreating to the side.

The evolved zombie didn't overthink it. Seeing that Chen Ye and Tang Zichen weren't running, it cooperatively went to pursue the others.

However, Because Chen Ye had stopped it for a moment, delaying it, many people had already run far away.

And although these new students were terrified and panicked, their minds weren't completely gone. They knew that sticking together meant a faster death, and scattering was their only chance of survival.

Thus, they fled in all directions, each going their separate way.

At this point, no matter how fast the evolved zombie slid, it couldn't possibly chase and kill everyone tonight by itself.

Chen Ye frowned.

He certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch these short-lived fools escape.

Just as he was preparing to personally intervene

and keep the new students there...

Suddenly, the evolved zombie stopped its pursuit and let out a howl to the sky.

"ROAR!!"

Like a husky...

The evolved zombie's howl was incredibly piercing. Not only did it carry far into the distance, but it also echoed back.

Then, something unexpected happened.

Many small zombies appeared in the darkness, hopping and bouncing, converging from all directions.

They happened to block the path of the new students.

Although these new students were all exceptionally strong, and could defeat the small zombies one-on-one with their alloy weapons, the number of small zombies that had arrived in response to the sound was simply too great...

At least double the number of these people.

Faced with so many small zombies, the new students had no way to break through and were forced to run back.

This miraculous sight

immediately made Chen Ye's eyes light up.
