A deafening roar.
A hulking figure, standing two and a half meters tall, landed on the rooftop terrace.
Zhang Tianbao’s physique was poor.
Short and fat.
Even though the floor shattered, leaving a large hole, he couldn’t jump up.
Using zombie minions as stepping stones.
He finally scrambled onto the terrace: “Big Brother! Quickly… kill that bastard!”
He yelled as soon as he climbed up.
*Slap!*
A palm as large as a fan landed on his right cheek: “Shut… up!”
The intelligent zombie roared in anger.
Suddenly!
Zhang Tianbao finally saw clearly.
The four people and one bird had already climbed a hundred meters away, onto a residential building, using the power cable.
“Big Brother, chase them!” Zhang Tianbao covered his face.
“Chase… your mother!”
Another slap landed on his face.
This time, the left cheek.
Chase what!
If it climbed the cable, the opponents would surely sever it from the other end.
Chase from the ground?
Below was an army of zombies.
If it jumped down, it would immediately descend into chaos, with thousands of minions blocking its path, preventing it from moving quickly.
It was quite intelligent, you know?
It knew it couldn’t catch up.
“Zhang Tianbao, you can wait to die!”
Qin Feng left with a cold smile, dropping these words.
…
—‘Finally escaped!’
—‘Brother Feng is so smart, thinking of such a method. If it were me… I’d have to fight head-on!’
—‘There are about ten to twenty thousand zombies. Fighting head-on would kill even an immortal!’
—‘Zhang Tianbao, that scumbag, he’s stupid and untalented. How has he survived this long?’
—‘No choice, he’s quick to acknowledge masters!’
Besides cheering for Qin Feng, there were many netizens from enemy nations cursing Zhang Tianbao.
Sarcastic remarks.
—‘Shit! What kind of so-called war god, can only run?’
—‘It’s a pity Qin Feng didn’t die!’
—‘Look at him running, doesn’t he look like a dog?’
Consequently.
The netizens of Great Xia were immediately enraged.
Aside from a few rational netizens who used logic and strength to debate…
More resorted to outright insults.
For a time.
The live broadcast room was filled with exclamations of greeting female elders.
…
The few people caught their breath, resting.
“Captain!”
Han Ling, still shaken, stammered: “That mutant… it’s definitely not level 4!”
“How could there be a level 5 mutant?” Zhou Haiyang was perplexed.
Their team was all level 2.
The captain was indeed strong, capable of defeating level 4 mutants, but facing a level 5 mutant…
It was difficult!
The most crucial issue wasn’t the mutant.
But the over ten thousand zombie army that had surrounded the entire supermarket beforehand.
Even if Qin Feng fought to his death and defeated the mutant, so what?
Could they break free from the encirclement?
Could they kill tens of thousands of zombies?
The enemy had planned meticulously, and this battle was impossible to win.
“There’s only one possibility.”
Qin Feng frowned: “Before its first evolution, it consumed crystals and advanced to level 2.”
“Then it evolved to level 3, and just happened to encounter a mutation, jumping straight to level 5.”
This was the only plausible explanation.
And indeed, it was the truth.
“Zhang Tianbao, that scumbag, actually defected to the zombies. Beast!” Zhou Haiyang clenched his fists.
“That’s good!”
Han Ling patted her chest: “Thanks to the captain, we finally escaped.”
Previously, Zhang Tianbao knew they were in the supermarket, which allowed him to catch them off guard.
In a city as large as Shangjing.
Another surprise attack like this would be nearly impossible.
The chances of even encountering them were slim.
“Just let it go like this?” Zhou Haiyang was unwilling.
“We can’t help but be unwilling, we really can’t beat it,” Wang Shouli said with a wry smile.
It wasn’t just the gap between Qin Feng and the level 5 mutant.
The key was the zombie army.
The scale was too massive!
In the midst of hundreds of zombies, it might be possible to defeat a mutant, but this zombie army numbered over ten thousand.
“Let it go?”
Qin Feng sneered: “Not a chance!”
He was the type who never let go of a grievance.
The mutant had to die!
Zhang Tianbao had to die even more!
Besides, if Zhang Tianbao wasn’t eliminated, after defecting to the zombies, he would undoubtedly use his human identity to help the zombies deal with survivors.
How many survivors would be tricked by him and die tragically!
“Captain, the gap is too big, we can’t fight!” Wang Shouli frowned.
When the enemy is too powerful, direct confrontation is out of the question.
Tactical retreat is the best course of action!
Qin Feng remained silent.
He took out a level 4 crystal.
Last night, he had been contemplating whether to let Han Ling absorb this crystal to improve her strength.
With enhanced time-stopping power, it would be easier to hunt mutants.
But!
Now that he had to deal with a level 5 mutant, this crystal had to be absorbed by him.
“Captain, even after absorbing this crystal, gaining the strength to kill a level 5 mutant, but…”
“The zombie army around it is over ten thousand. We can’t break through this layer either!”
Wang Shouli analyzed.
So many people were relying on Qin Feng.
He absolutely could not be impulsive!
“Don’t worry.”
Qin Feng glanced at him: “I cherish my life.”
Fifteen minutes later.
After absorbing the level 4 crystal, his strength reached the peak of level 3.
He opened the personal terminal map.
Zoomed in.
Ten minutes later.
He quickly marked several spots.
The Steel Rolling Mill.
The Chemical Plant.
And an electronics factory.
“Let’s go!”
“Where are we going?”
“Preparing gifts for the zombie army,” Qin Feng said with a sinister smile.
…
A certain street block.
As the dust from the nuclear explosion settled, a thick layer of ash covered the ground.
Posters.
Billboards.
Broken glass.
Various debris littered the ground.
Several cars were parked on the road, also covered in dust.
Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow, and a few plastic bags would swirl, exuding an endless desolation.
Strangely.
No zombies were seen wandering the streets!
A building by the street.
On the first floor, downwards, there was a completely enclosed glass window, twenty centimeters high, providing light to the basement.
Basement.
“Daddy, I’m so hungry…”
A boy, about six or seven years old, looked on the verge of collapse.
His mother had died in the nuclear explosion.
He and his father were in the basement getting something at the time and happened to avoid the fatal danger.
Then came…
The cold snap!
The zombies!
There were some reserve supplies at home.
But after consuming them for so long, they had been completely depleted the day before yesterday.
The man, in his thirties, was unkempt, his face covered in stubble from not having groomed himself for a long time.
“Be good, Xiao Bao, hold on a little longer. Tonight… Daddy will find a way to get something to eat,” the man comforted him tenderly.
“Is anyone there?”
Suddenly!
A voice called out from outside.
A short, stout young man was dragging a cart laden with various packaged foods.
“There are no zombies anymore! Everyone come out quickly, I have food here!”
“Really! Not a single zombie!”
Suddenly!
It was Zhang Tianbao.
In the basement, the man cautiously peeked out through the glass skylight.
Indeed.
There wasn’t a single zombie outside.
Had the apocalypse ended?
“Xiao Bao!”
The man was very excited and said in a low voice, “Stay in the basement, don’t come out! Daddy will get you food!”
“Okay!” the little boy nodded quickly.
The man immediately moved aside the furniture blocking the basement door.
Not just him.
About twenty minutes later.
Twenty to thirty survivors gathered from different directions.
They heard the shouts and also observed cautiously, and truly saw no zombies.
“Has the apocalypse ended?”
“My God! The nightmare is finally over!”
“Quick… there’s food!”
“Little brother, thank you so much!”
A group of people rushed towards the cart filled with food.
“Eat slowly, don’t fight.”
Zhang Tianbao smiled broadly but slowly retreated backward, creating distance.
Suddenly!
A roar erupted.
Countless zombies, who had been lying in ambush and formed a cordon, charged from all directions.
The survivors were immediately surrounded like dumplings.
For a time.
Blood flowed like a river, and corpses littered the ground.
