Chapter 164

The roars of several fifth-level zombies spread far and wide. It hit the layers of mountains outside of town, causing a strange and terrifying echo. The bright moon in the sky was enveloped by a layer of mist and its colour became dark and unclear, revealing an ominous air.

This was a scary night and very likely, a night full of death.

Seeing that more zombies came after hearing the roars from Wucheng, the people killing batches and batches of zombies, as if it was an endless tide, felt their resistance drop as their mind became negative. Just like that, the first line of defense was in jeopardy.

Song Haoran gritted his teeth, raised his hand to accumulate power for a big move and threw it over the wall, then he unscrewed a bottle of blue potion and quickly drank it up. The fireball fell and countless low-level zombies were instantly burned. The attacks of high-level zombies also came to a slight stagnation.

When Jin Shanghui appeared, he used his new comprehension to attack. Numerous sharp blades appeared from beneath the ground and pierced the feet of zombies. Dense arrows fell from the sky like rain and pierced the heads of zombies.

After two such big moves, the strength of the zombie siege decreased a lot and the crisis about their defense collapsing was slightly ease, making everyone feel relieved.

After making such a big move, Jin Shanghui pulled out several high-grade gold crystal nuclei from his pocket and quickly swallowed it. Then he turned back and killed more zombies. His intelligence had gradually improve and through Dou Heng’s explanation, he already understood the current situation. Without killing these zombies, his Xiaoxin would die, so he could not relax at all. Because he was too focused, he didn’t notice the blue potion Song Haoran passed to him.

Song Haoran slightly lifted his lips, calmly retrieved the blue potion, and turned to join the ranks of killing the enemy. The front line had him and Jin Shanghui while the defense in the back had Dou Heng and He Jin. Song Haoran felt for the first time that it was a blessing for Lixin to have so many people around him. Because, on his own, he wasn’t sure that he could protect Lixin.

Seeing everyone’s morale slightly improve, he shouted loudly while killing the zombies, “Keep fighting a little while longer, I’ve contacted Pu’an County beforehand and reinforcements are on the way.”

“Yeah!” The people from Ningcheng shouted their agreement and threw themselves into the pile of zombies without further promises. Either ways, they had the blue potions that Li Dongsheng kept supplying. Sun Tiantian had already ran down the wall and kept petrifying the land under her feet to prevent earth zombies from breaking out. Empty bottles of blue potions littered all around her feet and there were roughly twenty or thirty bottles lying there.

Driven by Ningcheng’s people’s motivation, the ability users from other bases also had their morale boosted and put their all into the battle before them.

Several of the fifth-level zombies amongst the corpse army did not have blue potions to rely on, so they had long been unable to send out big attacks to assist. Seeing the arrogance of their enemies, these zombies quickly raised their heads and roared. The roar was sharper and harsher than any other that was heard before. The sound waves dissipated into the air. Seven or eight minutes later, more green firefly-like lights appeared in the mountains and forests not too far away. A large group of zombies were approaching and their numbers weren’t low. The coercive pressure they sent out was quite palpable as well.

“No, our reinforcements didn’t arrive yet theirs arrived first. Run quickly, before it’s too late!” An ability user from Liaocheng shouted in horror and turned to run towards the wall. When other Liaocheng’s people saw this, they also thought of retreating in their hearts and played their cards as they did so.

“There are zombies coming form all directions. Where do you think you’re going to run? If you don’t fight, you will die!” Song Haoran shouted loudly. He deeply hated the fact that he didn’t kill all the people of Liaocheng in the first place, so that they would not disturb their army and kill everyone with their distraction.

However, when people were desperate, their minds were the most vulnerable and they were also the most easily fooled. Hearing the cries from the people of Liaocheng, many people suddenly gave up their will to resist and were killed by zombies who climbed up the wall. The defensive line had several breakthroughs and zombies successively climbed onto the wall and attacked the people in the town. Following the smell of advanced ability users, they ran to Gong Lixin’s small farmyard.

Song Haoran was so anxious about how he couldn’t pull his body away from the defense line that his dark red eyes almost turned into ink-like darkness, so dark that one couldn’t even see his eyes. He was on the verge of running wild.

As soon as the first gap was made, the first line of defense quickly became useless and there were many ability users that were shot down by zombies. The aerial defensive line was also broken and many zombies from the wind system passed by and took people away to eat them. Seeing their companions fall one by one and their death, tragic, the deep despair overwhelmed everyone.

In town, Gong Lixin’s small farmyard was also besieged by several senior zombies. Dou Heng and He Jin had kept enduring the anxiety in their hearts and didn’t dare move even a step away from the small farmyard. Sensing a few zombies approaching, they anxiety in their hearts sank deeper and they knew that the situation at the front was not good.

But Gong Lixin hadn’t broken through his promotion yet and they couldn’t allow themselves to think more than that. Gesturing quickly, they organized the top ability users outside the farmyard to attack these zombies together, but they themselves stayed in place and dared not move even half a step, fearing that one of the zombies would accidentally be let through. Fortunately, the two of them could also release long-range attacks to assist the others. Killing a few zombies was not difficult, but if the front line of defense was completely broken, this small farmyard would be leveled by zombies sooner or later. The situation was very critical.

At this time, the king kong vines, who had been quiet and dormant on the outer wall of the farmyard, suddenly came awake and left the outer wall of the farmyard, spreading around as if avoiding something. The zombies who were fighting against a group of ability users also suddenly stopped and suddenly turned around and fled.

“Lixin’s about to break through!” He Jin turned back to the quiet farmyard and shouted loudly.

The remaining members of the team also felt the intense pressure from the small farmyard and their expression became very excited.

This pressure was not only terrifying and heavy, it was not even comparable to Jin Shanghui’s fifth-level low-grade pressure that was like the mountains and rivers. It was extremely suffocating and spread at a slow rate, as if the air had been liquefied. It gave people a feeling as if they were gasping for air. The power of the pressure didn’t all fall on the top of one’s head, but rather, was like a thread that, bit by bit, penetrated through the pores of a person and into the deepest part of one’s heart. This feeling that could make the soul shake made people want to surrender involuntarily.

There was a special sense among ability users when it came to sensing power. The ability user’s power couldn’t be completely judged by the colour of their eyes, but it could be accurately identified by their aura. But right then, no one present was able to confirm Gong Lixin’s true level, but they were certain that Gong Lixin’s strength was definitely above level 6.

No one dared to imagine what it was like after a human ability user had promoted to level six. Perhaps human’s evolution would stop at level five forever. After all, if they became stronger, humans would detach themselves from the shackles of the most common man and would approach the realm of Gods. And the realm of Gods prohibited mortals from stepping into it. There was little left of mankind’s pride under the combined trampling of zombies, mutant animals and mutant plants. They lived humbly, lived desperately, and dared not imagine a bright and beautiful future.

However, now that human beings were constantly being hunted mercilessly as food, the appearance of Gong Lixin was like a star; the sign that the darkness would soon pass and the dawn was coming. He gave Ningcheng’s people the same feeling as his name – the glory of dawn!

The people who were standing outside the farmyard burst into tears of excitement. Their leader would not let them down at any time, and this crisis, they will certainly be able to survive through it safely.

The crowd at the town’s entrance felt it a few minutes later, the feeling of the suffocating and terrifying pressure. There was an instant urge to bow down. The zombies were more sensitive than humans. They stopped attacking, weakly roared a few times, and even jumped directly off of the wall to escape.

Several fifth-level zombies who kept launching long-distance attacks were pushed back and forth by swarms of zombies and almost lost their footing. Feeling the pressure in the air, they shrank in fear for a few seconds, then raised their heads and snarled louder, as if they were angered and commanded their subordinates.

In response, the fourth-level zombies crowded around them and responded to them by shouting one after another, pushing away the lower-level zombies as they pushed towards the town wall. It seemed that they didn’t intend to give up on their attack.

Seeing this, Song Haoran immediately organized everyone to continue their resistance. Then suddenly, a figure passed over the city wall. The figure was very fast and a gust of wind was brought up wherever they passed. Suddenly, the figure jumped down from the wall into the group of zombies outside the wall.

“Lixin!” Song Haoran shouted loudly, seeing the young man who was stepping on the zombies’ head and approaching several zombies.

“It’s the leader! The leader has successfully promoted!” The people of Ningcheng cheered and stared straightforwardly at the misty and immortal figure of the young man with worship in their eyes.

The ability users of other bases had become dumbfounded and stayed so for a long time as their expression were blank. Stepping into a crowd of zombies alone, who had the guts these days? Who had the strength? Apart from Gong Lixin, there could never be a second one! His intention was obvious. To win a war, capture the king first. Without the command of the few fifth-level zombies, this crowd of zombie would soon retreat. It seemed that it was not a good thing that zombies’ wisdom evolve; it meant that they now knew fear.

Seeing the figure of the young man, Jin Shanghui raised his head and roared, as if calling out to the other person. Seeing the other party killing zombies without looking back at him, he jumped off the wall without hesitation and went after the figure of the youth.

The two men went through a storm of blood and any zombies that stood in their way was turned into pieces of fragments; their deaths, extremely tragic. Everyone standing on the wall watched the two create a road of blood under their feet and the dense crowd of zombies becoming smaller in an instant, like an ear of rice after being harvested in autumn.

The five fifth-level zombies were of ice, wind, fire, water, and metal systems. The metal system zombie especially was strong and had reached the level of fifth-level mid-grade. The zombies were controlled by these five zombies, especially the metal system one. The classification was quite similar to generals, sergeants and soldiers in the army. This showed how far their wisdom had evolved.

But none of this was within Gong Lixin’s scope of consideration. He only knew that by killing all five of them, the current situation could be reversed. If it was before and he had to deal with five fifth-level zombies, he would’ve had absolutely no chance of winning. But now, it was different. He had already broken through the third-level of Reverse Spirit cultivation skill. His strength was quite different than before. Who cared that there were five fifth-level zombies, even if there were five more, he could still handle it.

Gong Lixin had such amusing thoughts in his heart, but everyone who was lying low on the wall and watching the battle had cold sweats all over their bodies. Fighting against five fifth-level zombies at the same time, they dare not imagine. But when the young man moved his palm, he easily killed the fifth-level water system zombie and the fourth-level zombies who guarded it fell to the ground one after another. Cold sweat dripped from the onlookers but they couldn’t help but feel excited.

Witnessing the battle between the strongest human being and the strongest zombies, this kind of opportunity was absolutely rare.

They had all thought that the battle would last for a long time, however, Gong Lixin once again made everyone realize how strong humans could be. The young man’s figure was lightning fast. Even the fifth-level wind zombie couldn’t catch hold of a piece of his clothing. If one didn’t know the inside story and only saw the other appearing and disappearing like a ghost, the crowd would surely think that he was a fifth-level spatial ability user who knew how to teleport.

The powerful attacks couldn’t land any attack in front of this ultimate speed. The attacks launched by several zombies were evaded by the youth. If the young man didn’t make a move than it surely was an illusion. Because every time he appeared in front of a zombie, he pierced the other’s head with a knife-like hand and took away the zombie’s crystal core without a word. Even the indestructible body of the metal zombie could not be spared.

Within a few breaths, five colourful crystal nuclei were held in his palm. The generals were dead and most of the senior zombies were killed by Jin Shanghui. The remaining low-level zombies didn’t have any wisdom and they all quickly fled after feeling the young man’s pressure and dispersed into the darkness.

Covered with blood, Jin Shanghui ran up to Gong Lixin, saw the other open his lips and smile at him and his heart suddenly began to jump wildly. Ignoring the fifth-level mid-grade metal crystal nucleus stretched out by the young man, he pulled the young man tightly into his arms. His pale and cold lips tightly pressed against the other’s warm lip.

The youth’s lips were fragrant and sweet. They tasted better than fifth-level crystal nuclei. No wonder Song and Lin liked to do so! He narrowed his eyes in pleasure.

CrazedCookies: Aaaaannndd, Dou Heng lost to a zombie! Hahaha!
