All the survivors from the first base recognized the girl and gasped in surprise. Sure enough, the person who ended up becoming the zombie king…or queen, in this case, was none other than Hope herself.
Some of them still remembered her electrical power and couldn't help but shiver in fright. Ah…they really didn't want to become a toast! But what choice did they have? This girl was a zombie queen and had become perhaps even more powerful than the previous zombie leading the herd to the first base.
The group's emotions quickly changed from being emotional to frightened within a matter of a few seconds. Although they lamented the fact that their companion became a zombie, they wanted to survive. So they would do everything to protect themselves.
And just like that, determination flashed in their eyes as they stared at the group of zombies with squinted eyes.
"Lads, you know what we have to do." Gavin suddenly said. He was worried that after seeing such a familiar face, others would become disheartened. So he wanted to raise their fighting power. But when he saw the determination in the eyes of his people, he shut his mouth and focused on sparing with this very familiar girl.
On the other side, even Tyler and Neil were watching the female lead with narrowed eyes. They had a hunch that the female lead would perhaps end up becoming the villain, but this was relatively fast. What method did this girl even use to become so powerful? It had only been a few days ever since they left, and the female lead was already able to control the herd of zombies like this. Clearly, they wanted to make applause.
But the situation clearly wasn't on the male lead's and Tyler's side. As they started fighting with the female lead, they quickly realized that the zombies had become even more powerful than before. And none of them were listening to Tyler's commands.
This kind of situation was both relieving and troubling. It was almost like even though Tyler had managed to take the place of the female lead, killing Hope was still very difficult. So they needed to have a backup plan if they ever wanted to win against such a female lead.
Thankfully, Neil was well versed in the art of fighting and strategizing. So he quickly ordered his group to fight back according to his strategy. Since Neil had become powerful, especially after sucking away so many cores already, he could become the most powerful person throughout the fight. Others gaped at him while he fought.
But the male lead didn't focus on them at all. He swiftly moved toward Hope and stopped her.
This woman was very desperate and angered when she was dying. So the resentment was carried even after her death. And when she became the zombie queen, she remembered what had happened to her before she died and instantly wanted to take revenge against Tyler and Neil.
So she gathered her forces and made a strategy. She collectively used the zombies to bring out the power cores of the humans and became more and more powerful. And not, the situation was that she was even more powerful than Tyler. So it wasn't difficult for her to control Tyler since the latter was also a zombie.
But Tyler was also powerful, and it would take most of her power to control that guy alone. It would mean that she would have to let go of all the zombies and focus on this guy alone. So, for now, she could only focus on destroying all the available humans here and kill as many people as she could.
But this stupid Neil still came after her. She glared at him angrily and said, "You two-faced man, don't you know who he is?!"
Neil, however, only smiled at her and didn't reply. Instead, he opened his palms and attacked the girl with his turbulent wind power.
Wind surrounded the girl instantly, blocking her advances. She gritted her teeth and stopped using her power. If she used the electricity, it would only harm her and no one else. So she could only glare hatefully and close her eyes, ordering the zombies nearby to approach Neil.
Just then, a rush of fire approached and killed all the zombies there. It was Tyler.
Seeing that face made Hope so angry that she even wanted to puke blood on the spot! She glared at him furiously and said, "How audacious! Don't you know I'm your queen?!"
Tyler sneered. He clearly knew that he had chosen a dangerous route by confronting this person, but he didn't have any other choice. He wanted Hope to die right here. And if this girl were left alive, she would end up creating more havoc!
He really didn't want to be controlled at all!
But what he didn't know was that the female lead of this world was brilliant. She perceived Tyler's thoughts and grinned. Now that she had been cornered like this, they shouldn't blame her for being cruel to these two b*stards!
She quickly released the control power from the zombies and stared at Tyler for a long time.
The latter, who was suddenly being stared at, felt a bad premonition in his heart. But before Tyler could act, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, making it throb so much that it almost felt like a hammer was being used to hit his brain constantly. He frowned and covered his head with his hands.
And a voice was speaking in his head.
'Kill the human before you.'
No! Not in a million years!
Tyler replied to that voice as he fell on his knees. The person before him was Neil, and he would die rather than killing that person. He shouldn't!
'The person before you is your enemy. Kill him!'
No! Tyler shook his head again and again. If his body were that of a human being, his forehead would have been covered with beads of sweat, but right now, his body was dead, covered with a virtual human version to fool everyone else. To others, it looked like Tyler was in deep pain.
At this time, even Clay and others were attracted by this commotion.
