Chapter 329 - 329 A Narrow Escape

329 A Narrow Escape

Lin Liye threw Zhao Qi’s body into the pile of corpses, his eyes full of regret.

He was such a good seedling. It was a pity that the righteous road was narrow.

On the other hand, Lin Shuang had performed admirably. She had advanced to rank-six, so she should be focused on training in the future.

The Zombie Monarch of Cairo walked up to Wang Ran.

“Human, I’ve already ordered my men to surround the outside of the pyramid. I guarantee that not a single rat will be able to escape.

“What should we do next?”

“The next step is to plant the bomb.

“We have to completely blow this place up to ensure that the strange virus inside doesn’t spread.

“Hey, which one of you knows how to play with the C4?” Wang Ran asked.

“I’ll do it!”

Zhang Guozhu raised his hand.

Everyone took out all the C4s and handed them to Zhang guozhu.

Zhang Guozhu fiddled with it for a while, and his face showed a difficult expression.

“This is going to be troublesome…

“This C4 doesn’t have a timed-charge.

“If we attempt to detonate them remotely, the pyramid’s walls are so thick that the signal can’t even pass through.

“It seems that I can only set it up and detonate it manually…” Zhang Guozhu said with a dark expression.

Manual detonation meant that the person who detonated it would definitely be done for.

Everyone was silent.

Such an end was tragic…

“Why don’t I…”

Lin Liye opened his mouth.

If there was no other way, he was willing to sacrifice himself.

“Captain Lin! We can’t afford to lose you!

“I’ll do it!”

Zhang Guozhu gritted his teeth.

“No! I’ll do it!”

“I’ll do it!”

The two of them started arguing.

“Look here… Are you looking down on us zombies?

“Is the detonation sequence so complicated that even we zombies can’t do it?”

The Egyptian Zombie suddenly spoke up.

Everyone was stunned again.

“That… that could work.

“After I set it up, the rest is very simple.”

Zhang Guozhu nodded.

Sacrificing zombies…

Lin Liye did not know what to say.

On the one hand, he had been fighting against zombies for a long time, and in his eyes, zombies were all enemies.

On the other hand, it seemed a little inhumane to sacrifice them…

However, there seemed to be no other way at the moment.

Lin Liye looked at Wang Ran.

“Ordinary zombies don’t have the awareness to work on something this delicate. At least, they have to be Mutated Zombies,” Wang Ran said as he looked at the Zombie Monarch.

“I understand.

“Is there anyone here who is willing to stay?” the zombie turned around and asked.

“I’m willing!”

“I’m also willing!”

“Count me in!”

Many Mutated Zombies stood out.

Most of them were low-level Mutated Zombies, not even at the Silver-eye level.

“Alright, we’ll go with that.

“Listen carefully to the directions.

“I’ll give 100 ml of my blood to each of your family members,” the zombie patted his chest and said.

The Mutated Zombies’ faces were filled with joy.

The blood of a Zombie Monarch…

Their families would have bright futures!

Lin Liye looked at the Zombie Monarch without saying a word.

He didn’t expect zombie societies to function in such a manner.

It seemed that he had to re-examine the relationship between humans and zombies.

“Don’t look at me like that…

“This is my territory. I don’t want any other creatures to affect my rule.

“I’m not doing this because of some noble sense moral integrity,” the Zombie Monarch explained.

If it wasn’t for a common interest, he wouldn’t have cooperated with the humans.

Lin Liye nodded.

Benefits… It could still bridge a connection between the two races.

For the rest of the time, Zhang Guozhu fiddled with the C4.

Not long after, Zhang Guozhu was done.

“When the time comes, we only need to twist these two lines together, and it will be detonated.

“Don’t do it now!”

Zhang Guozhu reminded the zombies.

The zombies nodded.

It was simple enough.

“Judging from the structure of the pyramid, you may need to spread out to all corners of the pyramid to detonate it,” Zhang Guozhu added.

“Alright, then we’ll head out first.

“Try to set the explosion within 10 minutes.”

After Wang Ran finished speaking, he led the group out.

The other people and zombies also started to retreat.

The assigned zombies remained behind.

According to Zhang Guozhu, they had to be scattered in every corner of the pyramid, so they left the square in the center.

After the crowd left, there were only piles of corpses left in the square.

After everything quieted down, the corpse of the lizard matriarch suddenly opened its eyes.

Its slender pupils turned a few times, looking around.

Now, all the bones in its body had been shattered, and its muscles were all torn. It was basically on its last legs.

Based on its current size, it would need a large amount of energy to recover.

This was clearly impossible.

The lizard matriarch looked around and noticed Zhao Qi beside her.

This guy had been stabbed in the chest, and his lungs were damaged. He didn’t seem to be completely dead.

The lizard matriarch gritted her teeth and placed her claws on Zhao Qi’s body.

Then, an extremely pure form of the ancient virus was injected into Zhao Qi’s body from the lizard matriarch.

Those humans had killed all of its offspring. The intense hatred it felt made it want to take revenge, no matter what.

This human seemed to have a conflict with those humans.

He would suffice.

After the transferring of essence, the lizard matriarch’s eyelids slowly closed.

A high concentration of the ancient virus was circulating in Zhao Qi’s body, slowly repairing his damaged internal organs and changing his body at the same time.

Not long after, Zhao Qi suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils had become as long and thin as a lizard.

‘Ah ah ah!!!’

Zhao Qi continued to shout out in fear.

When Lin Liye had stabbed him in the chest with the dagger, he had been extremely desperate.

“I… I… I’m fine now?”

Zhao Qi touched his chest and found that the wound had already healed, and there didn’t seem to be any internal damage.

Moreover, he also felt an unprecedented level of power.

However, he quickly noticed the strange state of his body.

A small patch of lizard-like skin began to appear on his arm.

“I’m… What’s this…?”

Zhao Qi stood up and looked around.

The lizard matriarch beside him caught his attention.

“This thing… What did you do to me?”

Zhao Qi quickly understood.

This definitely had something to do with the lizard matriarch.

“Hehehe…

“The heavens have decided that my life should not end here…

“Ah! This power! It’s simply too wonderful!”

Zhao Qi quickly accepted the situation.
