Free Web NovelChapter 577: Chapter 577: The Mysterious Zombie Tide
The zombies within thirty meters lost consciousness due to Zhang Chen’s presence, but those beyond thirty meters also had a few moments of pause.
Obviously, there was internal strife among the zombies.
"Is it... coming?"
Bai Anhai wiped the sweat seeping from his forehead due to his superpower.
He didn’t directly mention Zhang Yiming’s name, but the Bai Family all knew who Bai Anhai was talking about.
Apart from Zhang Yiming, no other Zombie King would help humans, and perhaps only Zhang Yiming could boldly seize control of so many zombies from another Zombie King.
Zhang Yiming was the most powerful Zombie King the Bai Family had encountered.
"The other one should not be a zombie."
Leng Yebai frowned deeply.
Ordinary High Rank Zombies wouldn’t waste their subordinates like this.
So many zombies, obviously could launch a frenzied attack and devastate the safe haven, yet they always challenge the limits of superpower users.
Each time they came close to losing, each time they held on.
It’s as if they were teasing the people in the base.
Only humans would be so boring.
The one who came afterward should be Zhang Yiming, but the one controlling the zombies to attack the safe haven was a human.
Leng Yebai immediately thought of Wang Ge, the only human capable of commanding zombies.
"Take a break! Look over there."
Leng Yebai stopped the Bai Family from using their powers to attack zombies and gestured for them to look in a direction.
"Damn it!"
Bai Anhai had just paused when he saw all the zombies quiet down, the black tide outside seemed to solidify, no longer moving.
The roar vanished from their ears.
All sounds disappeared suddenly, making Bai Anhai’s shocked exclamation seem particularly abrupt.
From the moment Leng Yebai noticed that the zombie horde was unusual, to the moment all zombies ceased their roaring and biting, no more than a minute had passed.
Except for the Bai Family, everyone used their strongest power to attack the zombie horde, it was a perfect opportunity for a counterattack.
The Bai Family guessed it was Zhang Yiming’s arrival and thus refrained from using further powers, conserving their strength.
In a blink of an eye, all zombies within dozens of meters of the safe haven were reduced to puddles of sludge on the ground.
"Roar――"
In the red haze of killing, the zombie horde resumed their roaring. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
People shivered with cold, not daring to pause their powers.
However, this time, the horde didn’t rush towards the safe haven.
But turned around to charge at the zombies closest to them.
Yes, for the first time, zombies attacked their own kind in front of humans.
Zombies opened their bloody maws, indiscriminately devouring the rotting flesh of their peers, sharp claws reaching for the opponent’s temple, cruelly extracting the crystal core.
In an instant, rotting flesh flew everywhere, black blood mist filled the air.
Not just one or two zombies acted this way; all zombies acted the same.
For the first time, people saw zombies so insanely crazy.
But for Leng Yebai, it was the second time witnessing this.
The first time in Zombie Village, Wang Ge’s minions died, tens of thousands of zombies became true rot, buried underground.
However, that slaughter didn’t seem so brutal compared to today’s.
Leng Yebai suddenly began doubting his suspicion, wondering whether a Zombie King was truly controlling the zombies attacking the safe haven or simply didn’t care about their subordinates?
People stared blankly at the horde, moments passing where they forgot to attack the zombies.
One by one, zombies fell to the ground, each fallen zombie no longer intact, with faces missing chunks of rotting flesh.
And in their mouths, stuffed full of rotting flesh, nearly unable to close.
This rotting flesh was from other zombies’ faces.
Their sharp nails already deformed, encrusted with rotting flesh not belonging to them.
Faced with their kind, they went crazier than when seeing flesh and blood, the sound of nails piercing temples didn’t stop, black blood spurted to the ground, forming streams of black blood.
Ever heard of boxing matches?
The current scene was like thousands of rings placed at the entrance to the safe haven, a thousand times bloodier than boxing!
"Ugh――"
A superpower user couldn’t help but vomit upon witnessing such a scene.
Song Hongfei forced down his nausea, telling the Earth and Gold Ability users, "Quickly reinforce the walls and gates."
Uncertain of what was happening or if the zombies would charge the safe haven again, the best option was to secure the safe haven.
As soon as Song Hongfei spoke, some superpower users used their maximum output to rapidly reinforce the gates and walls.
No superpower user dared to step away, fearing the horde would return even with the internal strife evident now, since they hadn’t completely vanished.
Reluctant to watch the hellish scene before them, yet compelled to watch and guard.
Zhang Chen saw the increasingly strong walls and gates, exhaled slightly, and the smile on her face grew increasingly distinct.
Indeed, her fate as a lonely star wasn’t unbreakable, her presence hadn’t led to the safe haven’s demise.
Could this prove that the Base Commander really was her destined one?
Thinking this, Zhang Chen’s lips curled in a low smile, her face reddened among the black tide of rotting flesh.
She sensed that spring had arrived.
This self-slaughter among the zombies lasted an entire hour.
After an hour, the perimeter of the safe haven was surrounded by decomposing bodies, stretching beyond sight, piled high.
Under the blazing sun’s rays, the stench was nauseating.
Black blood pooled on the ground, slowly flowing towards the lower areas of terrain.
Thankfully, the safe haven had been a private estate, designed with flooding in mind, ensuring the blood wouldn’t flow into the haven.
Even so, the strong stench caused multiple survivors to vomit inside the safe haven.
Song Hongfei sent people to the base building, bringing many oil drums intending to burn all the bodies outside.
Yet no one was sure whether zombies still lingered outside or if it was part of a Zombie King’s grand scheme.
No one dared venture outside, the bloody scene of zombie self-slaughter left them with mental scars.
Ultimately, Bai Anhai, Leng Yebai, and Song Hongfei poured the oil onto the mountain of rotting flesh.
Just a little oil was poured when instantly, a fierce flame ignited, the smoke formed by the fire was black.
Zombies typically don’t drink water, the occasional rain is skin nourishment, without sun protection, standing in the sun daily, their bodies more shriveled than normal humans.
The black smoke shot towards the sky, gradually disappearing into the blue sky.
The sky remained clear.
The bodies were far too many, allowing the fire to burn, isolating a safety zone between the safe haven and zombie corpses, ensuring the flames wouldn’t encroach fully on the safe haven.
Once the fire blazed, only then did people realize apparently a Zombie King saved them, only zombies could command zombies to slaughter their kind.
Whether it was Song Hongfei’s Spiritual Ability or Zhang Chen’s Death Ability, neither could control so many zombies to such a self-slaughter extent.
Only a Zombie King could command these countless zombies, only a Zombie King could so effectively stop the zombies.
This was the predominant belief among everyone.
The only confusing aspect was why a Zombie King would be antagonistic, yet also save the human safe haven?
