Chapter 39: Mutation, Commanding the Horde

Chapter 39: Mutation, Commanding the Horde

"Chen Ye, don't just stand there, run!"

It was clear.

Tang Zichen was very nervous and a bit scared at the moment.

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

And the ferocity of the evolved zombie in front of her was indeed very frightening.

Looking at those freshmen, many were big men who were very arrogant before, but now they were all scared out of their wits by the evolved zombie. In order to escape, they exerted all their strength, even the strength they used as babies.

Their teammates' cries for help were ignored.

There were even a few despicable and shameless people who intentionally pushed their teammates towards the zombie to buy themselves a chance to survive.

In the face of life and death, these people's actions were truly ugly.

Compared to these people.

Tang Zichen was simply an exception.

Even at this moment, she had not forgotten her mission: to take good care of Chen Ye.

This was her promise to President Chen!

At this moment, Tang Zichen was also the only one in the field who dared to confront the evolved zombie.

Just with this courage and bravery, she was countless times better than those wastes...

...

Of course, Chen Ye wouldn't leave Tang Zichen behind to escape.

He approached Tang Zichen and said softly, "Class leader, don't worry, I still have a secret weapon!"

"Secret weapon?" Tang Zichen was surprised.

"Yes, absolutely hard and powerful!"

What he meant was his fist!

But the girl obviously didn't think so.

Tang Zichen felt exhausted.

"Is this really the time for jokes?"

Chen Ye: ???

Who's not being serious here?

While they spoke, the evolved zombie, slaughtering all the way, had already charged over.

Actually, the zombie wasn't deliberately targeting Tang Zichen and Chen Ye. Instead, those who were running away were its priority targets.

However, many people thought Tang Zichen was quite powerful and, in their desire to survive, subconsciously ran in their direction, leading the evolved zombie over.

At this moment.

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

Tang Zichen no longer paid attention to Chen Ye and immediately focused, her body glowing with a green light.

The next moment.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

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

The girl was going all out.

Clearly, the pressure from the evolved zombie was too great.

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

In the movies, peach wood swords could only subdue the lowest level zombies. When faced with slightly more powerful zombies, even if a Taoist priest with magical powers wielded them, the peach wood swords still weren't very effective and often got broken.

Since the zombies in the secret realm followed the settings from those movies.

Then the attack with peach wood swords should not be an exception...

Chen Ye was right.

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

But they were directly deflected by the evolved zombie's formidable defensive power, falling to the ground.

Not to mention breaking through the defense, they couldn't even leave a mark.

The evolved zombie didn't even spare a glance at the peach wood swords, continuing its charge towards them.

Tang Zichen's pretty face instantly turned pale.

At this time.

The evolved zombie was already right in front of them.

Tang Zichen could even smell the decay from the evolved zombie's body.

And the zombie wouldn't hold back just because Tang Zichen was a beauty, swiping its claw directly at her.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of the air breaking was heard.

One could imagine, once this strike hit Tang Zichen, the beautiful girl would surely be fatally injured.

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

But it was useless.

At this critical moment, a strong hand pulled Tang Zichen aside, allowing her to dodge the fatal strike. Then, Chen Ye protected her behind him and grabbed a handful of glutinous rice, throwing it onto the evolved zombie.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As soon as the glutinous rice touched the evolved zombie, it crackled like firecrackers, sparks flying everywhere.

"Roar!"

The evolved zombie emitted a sound of pain and took a couple of steps back. It wasn't injured, just in pain. Its eyes looked at Chen Ye with confusion, probably not expecting there to be something that could cause it pain. This reaction also aligned with Chen Ye's judgment: stronger than Master Yan!

In the movies, Master Yan, after becoming a zombie and evolving, was still very afraid of glutinous rice, stepping on it would cause him unbearable pain, deterring him from coming close. Perhaps because Master Yan became a zombie and evolved in a very short time, unlike the zombie in front of them...

Using glutinous rice to attack the zombie was Chen Ye's final test to ascertain the strength of the zombie in front of him. He still had to be cautious! Now, Chen Ye could finally be somewhat relieved. The evolved zombie in front of him, although stronger than Master Yan from the movies, wasn't by much. He could handle it!

Chen Ye flexed his wrists, then suddenly stopped. It wasn't time for him to act yet.

The people around him hadn't all died yet! These people were very arrogant just a moment ago! Not only did they want to eliminate Tang Zichen, but they also wouldn't spare him, an innocent and weak student, wanting to eradicate him completely, prouder than the workers of some clothing company! Regarding these people, even if the zombies didn't kill them all tonight, Chen Ye would turn the remaining survivors into mush himself! In Chen Ye's dictionary, there was no such thing as "mercy" or "repaying evil with good."

So, next, Chen Ye grabbed a handful of glutinous rice, not throwing it, but keeping it in his hand to scare the evolved zombie. "Class leader, let's back off, don't disturb its joy in killing." At this moment, Tang Zichen, somewhat impressed by Chen Ye's performance, instinctively followed him, moving aside. The evolved zombie, not thinking too much about it since Chen Ye and Tang Zichen weren't running, cooperated by chasing after other people instead.

However, because Chen Ye had just delayed it for a moment, many people had already run far away. And these freshmen, although panicked, were not foolish; they knew that grouping together would only lead to faster deaths, so dispersing was their best chance of survival. As a result, they fled in all directions, each taking a different path. At this point, even if the evolved zombie could glide quickly, it couldn't possibly kill everyone tonight on its own.

Chen Ye frowned. Of course, he wouldn't just watch these people escape. Just as he was preparing to personally act to keep the freshmen from leaving... Suddenly, the evolved zombie stopped its pursuit and howled towards the sky.

"Awoo!"

Like a Husky... The howl of the evolved zombie was incredibly piercing, not only carrying far but also echoing back. Then, something unexpected happened. Many smaller zombies appeared from the darkness, hopping and jumping from all directions, converging and blocking the paths of the fleeing freshmen. Although these freshmen were each powerful and could defeat a smaller zombie one-on-one with the help of alloy weapons, the number of small zombies drawn by the noise was simply too many...

At least twice the number of the people there. Faced with so many smaller zombies, the freshmen had no chance of breaking through and were forced to run back.

This miraculous scene suddenly made Chen Ye's eyes light up.
