CHAPTER 1837: CHAPTER 1830: THE ZOMBIE LABOR CREW IN THE CLUBHOUSE

Noticing such an anomaly, Chang Jinlun immediately stopped his actions and did not execute the opponent right away. If he had insisted on killing, this Level 7 zombie would have already been decapitated like the first Level 7 zombie.

Ah Fu became interested as well. No one else intervened; they all watched as the zombie resisted his high-grade will.

Huang Quanjiu laughed and said, "Hey, it seems some folks don’t want to take the journey too late at night."

These three Level 7 zombies were clearly being venerated by members of the Zombie God Cult. If that was their intention, Ah Fu would rather believe pigs could become scientists!

They appeared here either because they were commanded or controlled by a higher-level zombie!

Although Level 7 zombies are considered high-level zombies, their intelligence generally still falls far short of the level of normal humans. At most, they can engage in simple communication with ordinary people.

But if they talk too much, it begins to raise suspicions. Moreover, when zombies reach Level 7 and try to disguise themselves as humans to enter human society, they lack any common sense within human society and would come off as fools!

They need to learn bit by bit, learning to speak human language, getting accustomed to the minute details of daily human life!

Gradually, they become indistinguishable from humans!

There are indeed a few Level 7 zombies possessing intelligence equivalent to normal humans, but they are in the minority.

These three Level 7 zombies clearly didn’t belong to that minority.

Eight Level 8 powerhouse new humans and zombies, along with over twenty soldiers, watched quietly.

Soon, the Level 7 zombie, with the assistance of another Level 8 zombie, broke free from Ah Fu’s high-grade will and regained its freedom!

Roar!

After an ear-splitting zombie howl, it turned around, overturned the factory behind it, and ran away wildly!

Huang Quanjiu glanced to the left, where members of the Zombie God Cult were already climbing over barriers, but they didn’t mind them. Huang Quanjiu shouted, "Chase! Find the controlling Level 8 zombie!"

Roar!...

Two Level 8 zombies internally fought for control over its body, causing it to stagger and stumble, charging uncontrollably, fully expressing the violent nature of a zombie!

In the process of fleeing, its fear of powerful peers involuntarily urged it to return to its original controller. Naturally, that controller also intended for it to flee elsewhere, but with Ah Fu’s obstruction, the other party could not control this Level 7 zombie’s actions.

Its body seemed like a missile propelled by a powerful thrust, not exploding but easily smashing massive gaps in many buildings. Some unfortunate souls burst into a cloud of blood mist the instant they touched its body!

During the pursuit, because Ah Fu and the others moved too quickly, Jiang Zhenbo and his soldiers, all being Level 4 and Level 5 new humans, couldn’t keep up, only able to watch Ah Fu and the others disappear from view.

"Damn!"

He and his soldiers came to a stop, helplessly watching the direction Ah Fu and the others vanished, confirming his earlier suspicion that bringing his men along was pointless; with so many Level 8 powerhouses, he had no role to play.

And indeed he couldn’t join in!

He was also a bit suspicious; from the Northern Empire, or rather the Royal Court, came so many terrifying presences. Though they were insignificant to Level 9 new human Su Sigui, to Cloud Gorge Base, such a terrifying presence, being uncontrolled, posed a huge threat!

The mayor was not a cold-blooded, heartless person; otherwise, he wouldn’t spend such enormous effort to build the Dried Leaves Sanctuary, capable of accommodating 300,000 people! Ordinary B-grade sanctuary cities could not house such a population!

Most importantly, only ordinary people aged 1 to 40 could enter the sanctuary, besides a few people with certain special professions having priority, only pregnant women could be exempt from the age limit.

From this, it was clear that Su Sigui was not someone who disregarded human life; otherwise, there wouldn’t be conditions allowing infants and pregnant women to enter the sanctuary, as both require care from others.

She cared about Cloud Gorge Base, but if she really did care, Jiang Zhenbo couldn’t understand; with so many Level 8 powerhouses from the Royal Court, how could she remain so assured?

And there were zombies among them!

Better safe than sorry!

If those guys harbored any malicious intentions, it would be a catastrophe for Cloud Gorge Base!

It’s worth noting that in other sanctuary cities or survivor bases where Level 8 powerhouses congregated, they were all confined in underground prisons without any freedom.

The defense of that underground prison wasn’t even strict, with not a single guard!

Ordinary people, given the tools, could escape, let alone powerful Level 8 new humans!

Relying on their combat strength alone, the imprisoned Level 8 new humans could easily escape Cloud Gorge Base before Su Sigui even realized it!

But they didn’t; instead, they were compliant and obedient. Some of them even looked up to Su Sigui, yet they remained imprisoned simply because Su Sigui didn’t trust them!

Whew~

Sighing, Jiang Zhenbo stopped pondering these matters; his exposure was limited, perhaps concealing secrets unbeknownst to him, making comprehension impossible.

Shaking his head, he once again looked towards the direction Ah Fu and the others had gone. Even if they couldn’t catch up, they would have to continue pursuing, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to explain to Xu Tianyu.

On the other side, after crossing four or five zones in just two minutes, the Level 7 zombie only slowed down upon nearing a club, and the pursuing Huang Quanjiu and others also slowed down.

This club might be where the dominator of this Level 7 zombie resided, having long prepared inside. As the Level 7 zombie approached, the club’s golden door slowly opened, unveiling eight peculiar-looking workers. In one glance, Ah Fu recognized they weren’t human!

They were peers!

All Level 7 zombies!

They wore construction crew uniforms, their clothes clinging with hardened cement blocks, and some white ash on their hands, indicating work on construction sites.

Still, employing such tireless zombies for labor couldn’t be more convenient!

The peculiar thing was that the Cloud Gorge Base, constrained by defensive walls, had no open territory to develop, nor engaging in large-scale construction, yet they wore construction uniforms and could only have worked on that large-scale Sanctuary’s construction base!

Upon the zombies’ appearance, they let out a low growl, fearlessly charging toward Ah Fu and the others, as Huang Quanjiu shouted loudly, "Hu Ji!"

After shouting, apart from Ah Fu, Huang Quanjiu, Chang Jinlun, and six others all leaped onto the building walls on either side. Simultaneously, Hu Ji let out a howl, his mouth tearing open, fangs suddenly expanding, eyes turning crimson!

The surrounding air, driven by invisible forces, led to the next moment where Hu Ji spewed a ball of black mist from his mouth, followed by a straight sweep of a black light beam!
