Assaulting the Prison

This was a group of highly evolved zombies. They could unite and cooperate, and possessed considerable intelligence.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoyuan saw that Tank was exceptionally fierce, slaughtering wildly.

He had fought Tank before and driven him away.

Clearly, he had come back for revenge.

"These guys... actually know how to hold a grudge?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan frowned deeply.

"Brother Yuan, look over there!"

The guard beside him stared in astonishment.

Amid the zombie horde stood a young man in a spotless white shirt, utterly out of place among the ugly zombies around him.

His face was expressionless as he watched everything indifferently.

"Is this... a human or a ghost?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan was equally shocked. After the apocalypse, even humans were rarely that clean. The young man standing there gave off an unreal feeling.

To describe it with a meme: "His background looks way too fake..."

"Quick! Aim at him and fire!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan immediately gave the order.

The guards beside him promptly turned their guns, muzzle flashes erupting as countless bullets poured out.

Lin Dong remained standing where he was, completely unmoving.

A red glint flashed in his eyes.

The bullets flying toward him actually passed straight through his body, all striking the ground behind him.

"Fuck!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan was utterly stunned. The scene before him was simply too bizarre!

As the guards on the wall were continuously killed, their firepower grew weaker and weaker.

The zombies crowded at the foot of the wall, piling atop one another and forming a "human ladder." The zombies on top climbed onto the wall.

"Roar—"

Their faces were ferocious as they howled savagely. They pounced on anyone they saw, vicious beyond compare.

Several guards were thrown to the ground and frantically devoured.

The others were terrified and immediately fell into disarray.

The outer wall was about to fall.

"Quick! Retreat! Fall back into the safe room!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan hurriedly ordered.

Those guards had wanted to run long ago. They turned and fled, occasionally firing back to slow the pursuing zombies.

But Little Eight was the fastest. Her claws were already stained red with blood, and her face was filled with extreme excitement as she reveled in the slaughter.

Seeing the humans flee only stirred her hunting instincts further. Her legs moved as she shot forward in pursuit, leaving afterimages behind her.

Within moments, she had brought down another five or six humans.

"This is an agile Zombie King!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan made his judgment. At the same time, flames ignited in both his hands, scorching heat spreading as he unleashed his fire ability.

If he did not stop her now, hardly any of his men would escape.

With a wave of his hand, two fireballs smashed toward Little Eight.

Little Eight reacted quickly and leaped backward to evade them.

Boom! Boom!

The fireballs exploded, forming a wall of flame.

Under the cover of the fire wall, the guards finally retreated into the building behind them.

Zhang Xiaoyuan swept his gaze to the side and spotted Lin Dong amid the zombie horde.

Lin Dong was walking toward them step by step.

"Hiss..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan did not dare linger. He hurriedly jumped down from the high wall and retreated into the building. Lin Dong was far too strange, and he had yet to figure out what ability he possessed.

Now that the outer wall had been breached, Lin Dong walked toward the building at an unhurried pace.

He did not strike right away.

He also wanted to see how strong the human awakeners were.

Although his Zombie King Domain was powerful, if he fully unleashed it, it could only last five minutes. If he acted rashly, he might... get his clothes dirty.

After the brief clash, over a hundred guards in the prison had already lost two-thirds of their number, leaving fewer than forty.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong had suffered almost no losses as he led the zombie army straight in.

Tank followed behind him, a childlike smile appearing on his ugly face as he felt thoroughly satisfied.

He had finally gotten his revenge...

Serves you right for bullying me!

Inside the prison, Zhang Xiaoyuan and the others had built a safe room entirely from ten-centimeter-thick alloy. This included the ceiling and floor, leaving no blind spots. It was incomparably sturdy.

Only the front wall had several fist-sized holes.

They were firing ports, allowing them to shoot outside, and also served as ventilation.

"Phew—"

After everyone hid in the safe room, they finally let out a long breath.

"These zombies... are way too vicious!"

"Yeah, they aren't like the zombie hordes from before!"

"Obviously. Have you ever seen zombies using weapons?"

"You might not believe it, but I almost got hacked to death by a zombie with a machete just now..."

"These monsters are evolving way too fast!"

"..."

Several guards sighed in shock.

However, Lin Dong's "vanguard" had already chased them here. Their faces were savage as they clawed at the walls and roared without end, but the alloy walls were too thick. The zombies truly could not get in.

"Use the satellite phone to contact headquarters and request reinforcements. We may be safe for now, but we can't let the zombies trap us in here."

Zhang Xiaoyuan instructed.

"Understood."

The guard beside him quickly agreed.

Rumble!

At that moment, Tank smashed through several walls in succession and charged straight toward the safe room.

Seeing his enemy hide inside a "turtle shell," he was deeply unwilling to accept it. He raised his enormous fist and slammed it down several times.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The safe room shook violently, but the alloy walls were too thick for Tank to break through.

"Hmph! You big idiot, can't get in, can you?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan was not worried in the slightest. He had built this safe room precisely to guard against strength-type Zombie Kings and powerful mutant creatures.

Roar, roar, roar—damn humans!

Tank was furious inside, roaring again and again in rage.

Zhang Xiaoyuan analyzed the situation. With Tank's intelligence, he definitely could not have led such a well-trained zombie horde. Someone else had to be commanding them.

It had to be... that clean young man!

Just as he was thinking this,

all the zombies outside suddenly fell silent at once, not making a sound. It was like a noisy classroom when the homeroom teacher suddenly walked in.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Why did they suddenly go quiet?"

"These zombies... are so strange!"

"..."

The sudden silence left everyone astonished. Since the apocalypse began, this was the first time they had seen anything like it.

The zombies stood obediently in place. Then, with astonishing coordination, they automatically made way for a path.

"This..."

Everyone was even more shocked. They had never seen zombies like this.

Then,

a young figure slowly approached from the distance.

Little Eight and Doctor Zombie followed behind him, one on each side, their hierarchy clearly defined.

"Brother... Brother Yuan, these zombies are too strange!"

One of his subordinates was terrified.

Zhang Xiaoyuan fixed his gaze ahead, equally shocked inside.

"It's fine. They can't get in anyway. We'll just wait for rescue."

"Mm."

The subordinates nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.

Given how sturdy the safe room was, even missiles could not blow it open.

So there was no need to worry about zombies breaking in.

"Bah! You fucking zombies, come in and bite me!"

"Yeah! Quit pretending to be mysterious. Aren't you supposed to be so powerful?"

"Fuck, my brothers were all bitten to death by you."

"..."

Several guards were under too much pressure. They had seen too many bloody scenes, watched their comrades die before their eyes, and now that they were safe, they wanted to vent.

They even pulled the triggers through the firing ports, spraying a burst of bullets outside.

But just as the muzzle flashes erupted,

Lin Dong's approaching figure suddenly vanished...
