The early morning.
On the rooftop of a building, Zhang Heng's "Shitian" (Soul Slaying) team was stationed.
There were five people in total.
They took turns resting and keeping watch.
The advantage of choosing a rooftop was the open view, making surveillance easy.
Originally, they had planned to hide in the mountains.
But Qin Feng had given them some crystals.
With the help of level 2 crystals, the entire team had rapidly broken through.
Facing zombies of the same level, with reasonable coordination, they were not difficult to kill.
Therefore.
After discussion, they decided to remain in Shangjing.
Of course, they had to avoid areas with dense zombie populations, so they chose remote regions.
This was near the Seventh Ring Road.
The population density was low.
There were few zombies.
"Captain!"
Liu Xiaohui, who was on watch, quickly woke Zhang Heng up. "The zombies in this area inexplicably disappeared about ten minutes ago."
Zhang Heng poked his head out and looked down.
Indeed!
There wasn't a single zombie, and the streets were empty.
"Strange..." he murmured, puzzled.
"Zhang Tianbao!"
Just then, Liu Xiaohui's eyes widened. "How is that scoundrel here? He's not afraid at all, walking on the street openly, and he's even pulling a cart!"
Indeed!
On a street in the southeast direction.
Zhang Tianbao was dragging a cart and shouting as he went.
The cart was filled with food.
"Villagers! Grandpas and grandmas! Brothers and sisters!"
"The zombies are gone, it's safe now!"
"I have a lot of food here, come and get it quickly!"
"The apocalypse is over!"
Zhang Tianbao barked at the top of his lungs.
"You dog bastard!"
Liu Xiaohui didn't believe his nonsense. He grabbed his saber and prepared to go downstairs. "I'll chop him into pieces!"
This bastard!
If he hadn't wrongly recognized a father and attracted He Ming, none of this would have happened.
They wouldn't have encountered Qin Feng, and there wouldn't have been a conflict.
How could Wu Kai have died?
"Wait!"
Zhang Heng grabbed him. "The nearby zombies left first, and then he appeared brazenly. Don't you find it strange? Let's observe first!"
Fifteen minutes later.
One or two dozen survivors emerged from their hiding places.
They were desperately in need of food.
It had been about a month since the nuclear blast, and it was a miracle they had lasted this long.
Many more had starved to death.
"Eat slowly, don't snatch."
Zhang Tianbao repeated his previous words.
He couldn't be bothered to add anything more.
When he was on Blue Star, he would spend all day at home, watching movies and freeloading, being lazy and unmotivated.
"Captain, people like him... would give food to survivors?" Liu Xiaohui was confused.
He recognized strong people as his father.
He was the first to flee when things went wrong.
Such a scumbag couldn't possibly be so kind.
"Roar!"
Suddenly!
Roars erupted from all directions.
From the rooftop, Zhang Heng could see zombies rushing out from the shadows in many streets, near and far.
They were rapidly converging towards Zhang Tianbao.
In just over ten minutes.
The one or two dozen survivors were reduced to bare bones.
Only one human remained alive.
It was Zhang Tianbao!
"He... he..." Liu Xiaohui was stunned, his hands trembling involuntarily.
Shocked.
And even more so, enraged!
He had actually colluded with the zombies, helping them hunt humans!
Indeed.
Adventurers came from Blue Star, not the apocalypse planet, but the humans here... were the same as those on Blue Star!
Black hair.
Yellow skin.
What was the difference from people in Great Xia?
"This beast!" Zhang Heng clenched his fists tightly.
"Captain!"
Liu Xiaohui gritted his teeth. "Zhang Tianbao must die!"
"Calm down!" Zhang Heng said in a low voice.
"How can I calm down?!"
"Then how do you plan to kill him?"
Zhang Heng pointed below.
Indeed!
After over a thousand zombies had devoured the survivors, even more zombies appeared.
They were densely packed.
The number...
Was uncountable!
At least twenty thousand, perhaps more!
Liu Xiaohui was utterly dumbfounded.
In the past few days, they had also encountered mutated beasts and two zombie legions.
Of course.
Without Qin Feng's strength, they would have immediately bypassed them upon seeing them.
But the zombie legions they had seen only numbered in the hundreds or thousands.
This zombie legion...
Was too exaggerated!
With their team's strength, they could only deal with five or six zombies at most at any given time. Facing a zombie legion of hundreds, they could only retreat.
To kill Zhang Tianbao?
As soon as they went down, they would be dead!
Suddenly!
Liu Xiaohui looked to the west. "Captain! Over there... it's Qin Feng!"
"Not good!" Zhang Heng's expression changed.
Over ten thousand zombies were gathered here.
There were no zombies on the outer perimeter.
They were on the rooftop, standing high and seeing far.
Due to the obstruction of buildings, and Qin Feng being quite far away, he might not see them.
Once he came over...
It would be equivalent to walking into a zombie nest!
"What do we do?" Liu Xiaohui asked in a low voice.
"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, he is the hope of Great Xia," Zhang Heng murmured.
In the "Aftermath" plot stage, Qin Feng took first place in both team and individual rankings.
He brought game-changing technology to Great Xia.
In the current plot.
Qin Feng was also at the forefront, with his achievements still remarkably outstanding.
He envied him.
He was even jealous.
But!
If Qin Feng died, it would be an immeasurable loss to the entire Great Xia.
The problem was, the building below was full of zombies.
Tens of thousands of them!
If they were to loudly warn Qin Feng.
The next moment, countless zombies would rush up to the rooftop from downstairs.
They would be annihilated without a doubt!
...
Over twenty thousand zombies were gathered together.
Zhang Tianbao stood beside a smart zombie like a grandson.
Tricking survivors.
This was his value for survival!
The problem was, the number of survivors was limited.
Most had already fled Shangjing after the nuclear blast.
Those who remained, after the cold wave, the zombies, and starvation, were now few and far between.
One deception.
Covering several surrounding streets, often only attracting one or two dozen people.
Why did zombies collectively evolve?
Because...
They ate human flesh!
One or two dozen survivors were barely enough for a thousand zombies to eat.
Therefore, the zombie legions mostly stayed far away, sending out a thousand zombies to eat, and then rotating with a new batch of zombies.
By tricking them many times a day, they could ensure that every zombie could taste fresh blood and flesh.
"Continue... to find humans!" the smart zombie commanded.
"Brother is wise!"
Zhang Tianbao bowed and said, "Your little brother will go now!"
The army temporarily halted.
Next, he had to lead a thousand zombies to ambush in another block.
"Zhang Tianbao!"
Suddenly!
From a great distance, a familiar voice rang out. "I've come to collect your hide!"
Zhang Tianbao didn't react immediately.
The voice belonged to Qin Feng.
But...
How dared he come to him directly?
Was he crazy?
"Roar!"
Just as Zhang Tianbao thought he was hallucinating, the zombies on the side of the sound source rushed towards it in a black mass.
Densely packed.
Thousands of them.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng was leading three companions and a bird towards the zombie army's gathering point.
It wasn't difficult to find this zombie army.
After all, their numbers were too large.
The target was too big.
On the rooftop.
Zhang Heng, who was agonizing over how to notify Qin Feng to escape quickly, was utterly stunned.
Qin Feng knew Zhang Tianbao was here?
He knew about the zombie army?
Was he trying to...
Deliver himself to death!
"What's going on?"
Liu Xiaohui looked bewildered. "Qin Feng is very strong, but... that's in a one-on-one fight!"
One-on-one.
Let alone ordinary zombies, even a level 4 mutated beast, Qin Feng could defeat it.
But!
Not to mention this zombie legion, even the thousand or so zombies rushing towards him at this moment.
How could he kill them?
He would be instantly engulfed by the zombie horde!
"Here's a big gift for you."
Suddenly!
Dimensional space fluctuated.
A bulky object, over two meters long and nearly a meter in diameter, was held in Qin Feng's hands.
With the strength amplification of 24 times that of an ordinary person.
Whoosh!
The object, weighing nearly a ton, was thrown out with all his might.
