“Flying Dragon Shattering Mountain Fist! ” Luo Ying, out of habit, yelled out his move, feeling it added momentum.

With a swing of a punch, he repelled the seawater, creating a vacuum, and the fifth-tier zombies that faced this punch were blasted to death without even managing to put up a fight.

Under the guidance of Jiang Li, Luo Ying drew upon his abundant vitality, executing a level of combat prowess he had never demonstrated before.

The other three looked at the suddenly invigorated Luo Ying with shock. In their eyes, there was something unfathomably deep about Luo Ying. They wondered how he could’ve changed so drastically in just a month.

Regardless, Luo Ying getting stronger was good news.

The group had reached the ocean floor at a depth of 11,000 meters. This was almost the deepest part of the water, with the pressure so immense that it could stun the human mind. Fourth-tier zombies couldn’t withstand it; only fifth-tiers could.

The ocean was too deep for sunlight to penetrate, rendering everything pitch black. Vision was completely useless, and their other senses were severely diminished. They could only gauge their surroundings based on the movements of the water.

“There are eight fifth-tier zombies, and not too far off, the wreckage of an alien spaceship.” Luo Ying sensed a brutal battle taking place nearby and spotted the cause of it all: the alien escape ship.

The individuals in the spaceship were merely ordinary zombies. Unable to withstand the pressure of the water, they were crushed into blood mists, leading to the spread of the zombie virus in the deep sea, and eventually the surfaces of shallower waters and land, hence engulfing the globe.

Octopuses, killer whales, anglerfish, jellyfish, etc., these eight marine creatures had undergone drastic changes when they turned into zombies. The tentacles of the octopus sprouted eyeballs, each furnished with a mouth. A head had formed at the tail end of the killer whale, making it hard to locate its brain’s location. The anglerfish had grown immense, with a length of fifteen meters. Its forehead’s protruding organ was no longer lantern-shaped but had transformed into a human head.

These eight zombified marine creatures, which had experienced drastic changes compared to their previous lives, had gathered here, among which the sixth-tier zombie would be born.

Before this, there were a lot more fifth-tier zombies compared to now. Still, they had been fighting amongst themselves to the point that only these eight were left.

“We should hold back and wait until there are only seven of them left.” said Luo Ying.

Having more fifth -tier zombies wasn’t necessarily better as it would be hard for them to fend off so many opponents at once. Having lesser zombies would mean too many brain nuclei have been absorbed by the fifth -tier zombies, making it harder for them to defeat as they are not ordinary fifth-tier zombies anymore.

They had to keep the number of fifth-tier zombies at a level that the four of them could handle. After observing, Luo Ying concluded that seven would be an optimal number.

The other three understood Luo Ying’s intention, nodded in agreement and began to amass their energy.

In the end, the jellyfish was defeated and killed by the octopus. As the octopus absorbed the jellyfish’s brain nucleus, its body started to glitter, advancing one step towards becoming a sixth-tier zombie.

Luo Ying made an attacking gesture, and was the first to join the fight, with the other three following closely behind him.

The octopus, killer whale, and anglerfish were the toughest among the remaining seven zombies. They chose them as the opponents, while the remaining four zombies have been left for the other three to handle.

The zombies were stunned by Luo Ying’s actions, which quickly turned into anger. How dare these puny humans interfere with their fight!

However, the zombies soon found that among the humans, there were some strong individuals. The Flying Dragon Shattering Mountain Fist was a formidable blow, and the three zombies opposing Luo Ying were having difficulty dealing with it.

These three zombies temporarily put aside their differences and teamed up to fight Luo Ying.

On the other hand, the battle between the four zombies and the three individuals didn’t show any obvious advantage toward either side. They were evenly matched.

No one on Luo Ying’s side used weaponry; all relied on their bodies to fight directly. The power of the fifth-tier was so massive that they couldn’t find any weapon that could handle such strength.

“Die!”

Luo Ying roared. His heart and mind were united, and his punches were invincible. He managed to manifest a spectral dragon with his blow.

No one could withstand the onslaught of the dragon. When the coordinated attack of the three zombies faltered, Luo Ying seized this opportunity, swinging punches and breaking through one by one. His black hair fluttered, and his eyes were blood red. He looked like an ancient war god reborn, causing a shudder of fear.

Upon eliminating the enemies, Luo Ying immediately went to assist the others.

There was some resistance from the other four zombies, but with combined force from Luo Ying’s side, they got rid of them all.

“Did we… actually succeed?”

When the last zombie was killed, Luo Ying still couldn’t believe it. He had participated in the fight with the acceptance of certain death but surprisingly, under Jiang Li’s guidance, his power had greatly increased, and he was successful.

If the previous him had come here, it would have been optimistic to call it a one in ten chance of survival.

This wasn’t just about eliminating all the marine zombies; it also meant that the human side would have seven fifth-tier brain nuclei. Whether this was to create a sixth-tier striver or to create a few fifth -tier strivers, either was possible.

The zombies on land would stand no chance against the strengthened humans.

Victory was at hand for humans!

Thud-

Luo Ying looked down to find a blade-shaped piece of metal piercing his heart. In disbelief, he turned to look at his three companions.

“Why… why…”

We had just won, so why did they kill him? And where did the weapon come from? Luo Ying had so many questions, but he could feel his life ebbing away rapidly and he was unable to speak.

Seeing that Luo Ying was still conscious, the person who held the blade twisted it, shredding Luo Ying’s heart.

“Why? Of course, because you’re too strong. We’re going to establish a new country, and you, as the strongest among humans, would be a destabilizing factor. Hence, you need to be eliminated.” One of them replied with a deceitful smile.

“As for the weapon, of course, it was taken from the wreckage of the spaceship close by. As expected of an alien material, it can pierce the body of a fifth-tier striver. ”

Luo Ying’s pupils dilated, and he died harboring a profound hatred.

“You three traitors are going to die!”

Suddenly Luo Ying realized that he was full of life. He sprang up and shouted in anger.

However, when he saw what was happening, he was baffled.

Bright sunshine, clean classrooms, college entrance exam countdown, surprised classmates, and a teacher who looked more furious than him.

“Luo Ying!” The teacher shouted at Luo Ying angrily, “If you don’t want to study and sleep during class, that’s one thing, but what’s all this insanity you’re causing now?”

“How are you guys still alive, and where are the zombies?” Luo Ying blurted out. He remembered that on the day the zombie outbreak started, the school fell, and only he, among all his classmates, had survived.

The teacher looked furious and was about to erupt in anger, but Luo Ying suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked, ‘What year is this?”

The teacher sneered without answering Luo Ying’s foolish question, and the students chuckled to themselves. They didn’t know why Luo Ying was being so bold today, challenging the teacher’s patience time and again.

Luo Ying took out his phone that he had secretly brought and looked at the date displayed on the screen. His pupils shrank.

He would never forget this date.

The day of the zombie crisis!

He was back ten years ago!

Luo Ying fell to his knees, clutched his phone, and burst into tears.

There was still time for everything. His deceased sister, zombified friends…. there was still a chance to change everything!
