These zombies might be level 1 creatures, and are weak. But there were over 5000 zombies. Even after several rounds of concentrated fire, the number of zombies remaining were still over 1000 strong. The team of close combat fighters had managed to finish off these 1000+ zombies, however their stamina had depleted to a very critical level – they were unable to continue to fight until their stamina had recovered somewhat. The group of 50 close combat fighters were way too small in number to deal with the massive number of zombies.
“This time, I had really underestimated the enemy.” Thought Yue Zhong as he stared at his men who were perspiring heavily and panting.
This time, Yue Zhong had only brought ½ of his troops to attack Big Cliff Village. This was because having experienced the last clearing of villages, Yue Zhong thought that these men were more than enough to clear Big Cliff Village, and at the same time, increase the experience of his men. But he did not anticipate that there was a zombie controller in this village. If not for the fact that Yue Zhong had evolved many times, this raid would have ended up as a massive failure.
“What the f**k is controlling these zombies?”
Yue Zhong is suspicious and curious about the controller of zombies. He headed out alone with White Bones towards the village.
Yue Zhong had evolved much more than his regular troops and frequently allocated points to increase his stamina. As long as he did not continuously use his active skills, his stamina would not deplete so quickly. Therefore, although his men could barely move, he was not tired at all.
The town of Big Cliff Village was practically empty. Also there was a trace of dark coloured blood at various places, but there were no more zombies inside the town.
“It seemed that I was right! There is something or someone controlling these zombies!” Yue Zhong looked at the empty and silence town, and he frowned.
In the last raid against Stone Horse Village, although the zombies were drew out in waves of about 100 zombies, but the centre of the village had a massive number of zombies. But this town centre did not even have a single zombie. This means that someone or something had controlled all the zombies in this town and forced these zombies to attack Yue Zhong’s team.
Having a mysterious zombie controller is not a good thing for Yue Zhong’s team.
If there was something or someone controlling these zombies, than Lei Jiang City (its name means Thunder River City) with its population of 100,000 zombies would be invincible as there was nothing that could stop this massive army.
Although the strength of the men in Yue Zhong’s team were much stronger than the time when he raided Stone Horse village, but the ammunition spent in this raid was several times the ammo used to capture Stone Horse village. As well, each member of his team were more exhausted compared to the time they raided Stone Horse village. A 100,000 zombie army was a very fearsome number. How much more ammo would they need to repel just a fraction of this army.
Therefore, this zombie controller must die! It must not be permitted to escape into Lei Jiang City.
Yue Zhong could not see any activity from the street where he currently was in. Therefore he activated his combine armour defense skill and merged with White Bones. He launched a bone spike onto the ground, and used a bone ladder created from the bone spike to climb onto the rooftop of a supermarket.
Standing at the top of the supermarket, he had an unobstructed view of the scenery and surrounding landscapes. Although he did not have the “1000 li eyes” ability that would allow him to see as far as 500 km, but his vision is relatively good. Somehow being an evolver had increased the range of his vision.
At the East side of the village, Yue Zhong saw there were eight L2 and seven S2 zombies that were grouped together and fleeing towards the East side of the city, as if they were protecting someone important.
Yue Zhong fired another bone spike into the ground and created another bone ladder to bring him safety back to the ground level.
Once he landed on the ground, he immediately speed up and sprinted towards the direction where he had seen the group of zombies.
Yue Zhong had spent a lot of points of his stats on agility. As well, he is wearing various agility enhancing items. The L2 might be strong, but they are relatively slow. Although the S2 are very fast, these creatures were guarding something. Therefore the whole group moved at the speed of the slowest member, the L2. With Yue Zhong speed, he quickly caught up to the group of fifteen evolved zombies.
