809 The Melee Continues

"What's going on?" Wu Chengyue landed by Si Kongchen's side and asked.

Si Kongchen stood there and looked at the three zombie dominators who seemed to be fighting against each other over the zombie emperor while attacking the emperor as he shook his head and said, "I don't know. As you can see, all those three zombie dominators want the emperor now. The emperor seems to be weak. He hasn't been using his lightning power."

Wu Chengyue blinked and then made a guess, "Something is wrong with the emperor, so his subordinates turned on him, right?"

Si Kongchen turned to glance backward and said, "The other two are coming here too. I guess this emperor only has five zombie dominators under his command."

Wu Chengyue glanced backward as well, then nodded and said, "I guess so. Haven't you guys found Gao Haoyun yet? He didn't run away, did he?"

Wu Chengyue knew exactly what had happened to Gao Haoyun. He just couldn't help but want to cover for the zombie lady.

Hearing Gao Haoyun's name, the expressionless Si Kongchen immediately pulled a long face.

It had been days, yet not even a trace of Gao Haoyun was found. He didn't seem to have left. Instead, it was like he suddenly disappeared from Huaxia Base.

With a deep and cold voice, he said, "If he has left, why are these zombies still here? Isn't he the zombie emperor's target?"

Wu Chengyue shrugged and said, "I was only guessing. Perhaps, he is hiding somewhere. But, why?"

"Who knows!" Si Kongchen responded with a deep frown.

At that moment, Mo Yan was rolling on the ground to dodge the attacks from the three zombie dominators. If the female zombie hadn't been protecting him, he would have died long ago.

The female zombie's healing power was highly helpful, and those zombie dominators were smart. They clearly knew how useful her power was for them. Therefore, they hadn't launched any lethal attacks to her.

The wind-powered zombie dominator had created a few large and deep wounds on Mo Yan's body with his wind blades. Thick and black blood was all over Mo Yan's body, mixed together with earth and dust, leaving brown traces on the ground.

The more blood he lost, the less energy he had. Gradually, Mo Yan felt that he was growing weaker and weaker.

"Roar…" 'Go away! We only want his nucleus!'

The giant bird hovered in the sky about ten meters higher than the ground and roared at the female zombie with discontentment. The female zombie raised her head as she bared her teeth and roared at the sky to refuse like an infuriated female lion.

Her disobedience enraged the other two zombie dominators. 'Move away!—They both roared at her.

They warned her with their last bit of patience. If she kept fighting back, they would stop showing mercy to her. They might not kill her, but would not tolerate her again either.

"Roar…" The female zombie was not swayed. The dominators' warning only made her more vigilant than before.

"Roarrrr!" The giant bird had clearly run out of patience. He let out a shrill sound, then folded his wings and dived at the female zombie like a shred of shadow. He wasn't high up in the sky, so coming down to the ground from the low altitude only took him a blink.

The female zombie was aware that she wasn't able to dodge that. She wasn't as fast as the bird, and the enemy was coming down from the air. No matter which way she ran, the bird could turn toward her flexibly at any time.

As the bird attacked the female zombie for real, the other two zombie dominators hurriedly came over to shield her.

Bang! The three bumped into each other and then quickly parted.

"Roar…" The two on the ground warned the bird in the sky.

When the two came over to protect her, the female zombie grasped the opportunity and brought Mo Yan to the other side. But soon, a few figures flashed over and barred their road.

"Roarrrr…" A few zombie kings stopped them. As the three zombie dominators were fighting against each other, they hurriedly took the chance to charge at Mo Yan. They hadn't been using their powers on Mo Yan because claws could aim more accurately. All they needed to do was to rip off his head and then run away with his nucleus.

The situation wasn't good. Mo Yan and the female zombie tried a few times but failed to break out of the encirclement. As a result, the female zombie started feeling agitated.

"Roar…" She roared ferociously.

She was at a lower level, but she was not afraid of those who were one or two levels higher than her. Anyway, Mo Yan didn't give up. He glanced at Si Kongchen and Wu Chengyue, who were hiding in a corner and watching the fight. It seemed that he was waiting for something.

At that point, the last two zombie dominators came over from two different directions. They didn't join the fight immediately, but stayed aside and watched for a while.

"Oh my, this looks interesting! What's going on here?" Lan Lu's voice was heard from behind Si Kongchen and Wu Chengyue.

Wu Chengyue glanced at him smilingly and replied with, "Guess…"

Lan Lu looked at the battlefield for a couple of seconds, then immediately figured it out. "These zombie dominators are attacking their old boss, aren't they?" he said, "Why aren't they willing to hurt that female zombie leader over there? Clearly, there's something special about her. She's helpful for the other zombies… Oh, that's the zombie emperor! He's good-looking! The mark on his face looks unique! Is he awake now? Why doesn't he use his power?"

"I don't know. He hasn't been using his power since I got here. If the female zombie wasn't protecting him, he might have been torn into pieces by now," Si Kongchen shook his head and said.

"He hasn't used his power? And, those zombie dominators aren't afraid of him… Is his power disabled? Did those zombie dominators sense something about that and then turn on him?" Lan Lu thought for a moment, then said while rubbing his chin with two fingers.

"No wonder they've been fighting over the emperor. I guess they all want the emperor's nucleus. With that nucleus, one of them might be able to enter level-eight!" Wu Chengyue followed Lan Lu's thoughts. Then, he immediately erased the smile on his face and said, "How can we let that happen!"

After saying that, he immediately darted out. Lan Lu and Si Kongchen followed closely behind Wu Chengyue.

"Kill the emperor first, and don't let them get the nucleus," said Si Kongchen. While rushing at the zombie emperor, he conveniently threw a few giant fireballs at the three zombie dominators who were still fighting each other.

Wu Chengyue raised both arms and summoned a wave of lightning bolts from the sky. Along with rumbling thunders, the lightning fell toward every single zombie on the scene.

Mo Yan was squatting on the ground. At that very moment, an invisible figure flashed across him and brought him into a space before Si Kongchen got there.
