Free Web NovelChapter 576: Chapter 576: The Letter
The Little High Rank Zombie was trying hard to walk, its small legs could only cover a distance of a dozen centimeters each time, its strange and twisted body seemed to be controlled by several people, completely lacking any beauty.
It was entirely devoid of the lovably clumsy demeanor a small child should have.
The Little High Rank Zombie walked shakily, as if it would fall at any moment.
The surrounding High Rank Zombies did not urge it, just silently watching.
Twenty meters, ten meters, five meters...
A short distance, it took him a full ten minutes to cover.
Finally, it stopped in front of the Base Commander, tilted its little head up, and looked at the Base Commander, suddenly displaying a twisted smile on its face.
If a normal kindergarten child smiled, it would undoubtedly be innocent and carefree.
But it was covered in rotting flesh, its face horrifying and grotesque, with cheeks so decayed that even the black gums were visible, far from the naive appearance a child should have.
The Little Zombie reached its decaying fingers into its clothes pocket, seemingly searching for something.
With its movement, considerable rotten flesh fell to the ground, revealing ghastly white bones.
The Base Commander stood face to face with the flesh-ridden Little Zombie, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Such a lone and cold-hearted person like him sighed sadly at this tragic apocalypse upon seeing the child like this.
If the parents of this Little Zombie saw their child like this, they would surely be devastated!
"Hoho——"
The Little Zombie let out a raspy and low voice from its throat as it searched for something, containing a hint of joy.
Much different from the cheering a child makes when suddenly finding a favorite toy.
The Base Commander looked at the Little Zombie’s rotting little hand, which carefully held an envelope.
The original color of the envelope was white, but in the Little Zombie’s hand, it quickly turned into a blackened appearance, still carrying a trace of rotten flesh.
On the surface of the envelope were three words, "Thunder God." freewebnovёl.ƈom
The words were crooked, looking like the sloppy handwriting of an unruly teenager.
No one goes by the name Thunder God.
However, everyone in the safety base knows the Base Commander is a powerful Thunder Ability User, and some kids say he is as mighty as the legendary Thunder God.
It seems this letter is meant for him.
Only, with the rotten flesh sticking closely to the surface of the letter, the Base Commander was really loath to reach out and take it.
"Hoho——"
The Little Zombie saw the Base Commander not accept the envelope, so it pushed it closer towards him.
Apparently getting a bit anxious, it bared its teeth at the Base Commander, black teeth like grains of rice simultaneously exposed from its mouth and cheeks.
The Base Commander frowned, reluctantly pinching a piece without any rotten flesh, and took the letter.
The Little Zombie saw the Base Commander accept the letter and looked relieved, then suddenly gave a wide smile to him.
That smile was certainly not pleasant, more likely to cause nightmares.
"Go back!"
The Base Commander’s lip twitched slightly, but he didn’t attack the Little Zombie whose height barely reached his knee.
"Hoho――"
The smile on the Little Zombie’s face did not recede, its mouth stretched to the ear root, missing one or two black teeth.
Even as a Zombie, it was a kindergartener turned Zombie, appearing much like a child among a group of adult Zombies!
The Base Commander’s gaze dimmed slightly, as cold as he was, and he loathed this virus that turned people into neither humans nor ghosts.
He pinched the corner of the envelope, just about to open it, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Little Zombie extend its sharp little claws, suddenly attacking his knee.
In summer, clothing is thin. If he got scratched by a Zombie, he would definitely be infected with the Zombie virus.
The Base Commander’s physical fitness was excellent. He reflexively retreated several steps, and the Little Zombie’s claws clawed twice in the air, failing to touch flesh.
"Roar――"
The Little Zombie saw its sneak attack miss and didn’t consider whether it could defeat the Base Commander, directly charged towards him, mouth open, ready to bite.
The Base Commander reached out swiftly, grabbing the back of the Little Zombie’s collar, relying on his strong arm strength to toss it into the Zombie horde.
The small body fell into the pile of Zombies, disappearing amidst the adult Zombies, instantly lost from sight.
You could only hear the relatively tender roaring from afar.
The Little Zombie seemed attached to the Base Commander, while the other Zombies made no moves, only the short Little Zombie continued relentlessly to dash towards him.
As if being commanded by High Rank Zombies, aimed solely at the flesh and blood of the Base Commander.
Like striking a stone with an egg.
When the Little Zombie charged again, the Base Commander showed no mercy, directly piercing through its brain with purple lightning.
The small body was charred beyond recognition by the electricity, indistinguishable whether its black blood or charcoal from the lightning.
The Base Commander pressed his thin lips together while glancing at the Little Zombie, then started tearing open the envelope, with his cold aura showcasing that he was indeed furious.
The envelope contained a piece of paper; the handwriting on it was similarly sloppy, indicating the person writing was very casual.
After just one quick look, the Base Commander’s face remained stoic; his palm suddenly released a purple lightning that directly charred the envelope along with the letter paper into blackened carbon matter.
The writing was now completely unreadable.
With a cold face, the Base Commander stopped holding back, the purple lightning surged like dragons, rampaging among the Zombie horde.
Wherever it passed, swathes of High Rank Zombies were reaped.
After reading the letter, the Base Commander seemed to vent the gloom within his heart, and several times even unintentionally struck the base’s walls with lightning, causing parts of it to collapse without reaction.
Usually, he cherishes every inch of the base.
Some people prefer not to display their emotions on their faces, burying the most profound memories deep inside, occasionally reminiscing, but not looking for others to confide in.
No one knows the agony within him, nor can anyone share the burden.
No matter how much pain, he still shows little expression on his face, others merely consider him somewhat aloof.
Yet when others dig out those bloody wounds and present them before him, it’s hard to maintain composure.
The Base Commander was like this, at this moment, treating the Zombies as punching bags to vent out.
"Roar――"
While the Base Commander vented, the Zombie horde suddenly grew more restless.
High Rank Zombies dashed towards the safety base with reckless disregard, attempting to flatten Shanghai’s largest safety base with their tidal-like black bodies.
The Base Commander entered a frenzy, his energy formed a small vortex, visible energy seemed tangible.
The enchanting purple flowers fell into the Zombie horde, and Zombies, like ants, were sucked in with no chance to struggle.
A layer of black mist formed in the air, the stench of decay reaching an extreme. ƒreewebɳovel.com
The Base Commander did not scrutinize the Zombie horde, merely outputting pure violence, killing all the Zombies within sight.
The change within the Zombie horde went unnoticed by the Base Commander, focused solely on his rampant assault.
Leng Yebai was the first to notice something strange about the Zombie horde.
"Two Corpse Kings are competing for control over the Zombies."
Leng Yebai glanced towards the distance at the Zombies not affected by Zhang Chen’s Death Energy wave, quickly spotting the difference.
