CHAPTER 2022: CHAPTER 2015: FINAL RESTING PLACE

It’s not that Su Sigui fears the corpse king in front of her, but that the armor she’s wearing now was developed specifically for Zombie King Camutos. For other corpse kings who solely rely on physical output in battle, this armor simply cannot withstand the astonishing destructive power of a single strike from a corpse king!

This piece of armor is the only one of its kind, and she is unwilling to let it be damaged by Ryle. Humans do not have the time to manufacture another one at this moment. Once this armor is lost, facing a corpse king like Camutos, akin to a natural disaster, humanity’s fate is sealed!

With an icy expression, she remains silent. Ryle doesn’t care what she’s thinking, and slowly moves his steps. The atmosphere around becomes murderous, as both sides fall into a chilling standoff.

With no way to avoid it, Su Sigui begins to release her killing intent too, her jet-black eyes gradually turning amber!

Perhaps sensing that the opponent is not easy to deal with, Ryle doesn’t act hastily. His crimson pupils, adorned with strange patterns, fixate on the woman in front of him, searching for an opportunity to strike.

In the distance, the deafening roar of corpses resounds as millions of mutated species quickly engulf the land, making it difficult for human armies to organize an effective counterattack in such a short time.

In the ruins of Cloud Gorge Base, countless Level 8 black insect species zombies tear open the earth and emerge from the ground, roaring as they charge towards the struggling humans. The remaining Level 8 New Humans resist desperately, continuously swinging swords over and over! Or getting pierced by sharp zombie claws, blood spraying like ink.

In the distance, following a muffled groan, Xu Tianyu’s large gun, stained with zombie filth, leaves his hand and flies away. Before it clangs to the ground, it breaks into three pieces in mid-air. Xu Tianyu’s whole body is sent flying, sweeping across the sky like a meteor above numerous ruined buildings, until he lands heavily on the ground.

Boom!

His body crashes into the ground, creating a large, deep pit!

Facing the siege of three Level 8 black insect species zombies, he is outmatched, his battle clothes already destroyed beyond recognition, exposing the flesh and blood underneath.

Ugh...

Struggling out of the rubble, he stands again, despite having his flesh torn open by zombie claws and suffering repeated heavy blows that blur his mind. In the moment of standing up, he instinctively reaches beside himself, grasping at air, while past memories flash rapidly through his mind like a carousel. Quickly, he shakes his head, returning to focus, and three warped black silhouettes draw near in his line of sight.

No longer as stubborn as before, recklessly attacking, he looks around, seeing countless comrades fallen as corpses, zombie birds circling in the sky, warplanes destroyed and crashing to the ground, exploding, as zombified flying birds emit piercing shrieks when shot down.

Or swooping down, pecking at charred corpses,

He pants heavily, perhaps no longer able to summon any strength.

As misfortunes never come singly, even further away, dust partially veils the scene, echoing thunderously across the battlefield. The three black insect species zombies stop, and Xu Tianyu also turns around. Shadows appearing like ancient gods emerge at the edge of his vision, their terrifying presence suffocating.

"Giant demon..."

He’s not blind; he can see!

The mayor has been intercepted too.

Murmuring aloud, his body trembles, eyes filled with despair.

How to fight this war?

Resistance is no longer necessary...

When countless devotees of the northern corpse king appeared, everyone on the battlefield turned their attention, as if time paused for a moment.

On the ruins, Ning Yu’er remained silent, and the hideously faceless Hatred refrained from making further moves.

"The new era is about to begin, and it might not be all bad for you."

He opened his mouth to advise, but was refused with a shake of the head by the other party.

"No, that’s not what I want. It’s too barbaric, too rude."

"Not every person will be satisfied with the new era; perhaps it might be quite good?" Hatred retorted, his terrifying face could scare a person when he smiled!

"You have no chance, the defeat is already decided; only fools make meaningless sacrifices."

Seeing Xu Tianyu somewhat lost in thought in the distance, completely oblivious to the advancing three Level 8 zombies closing in, suddenly, she sneered aloud.

"Meaningless sacrifice... Heh~"

Hatred’s tongue, thin as a serpent’s, licked his wrinkled lips. Ning Yu’er’s words left him puzzled. The next moment, Ning Yu’er’s figure flickered, rushing like an arrow toward Xu Tianyu’s direction.

This scene, Hatred didn’t immediately pursue; he was merely perplexed by why someone would be so stubborn? One Ning Yu’er and another Su Sigui, why do they both seek certain death? Even knowing they cannot change the outcome, why still fight with their lives?

He couldn’t understand; does the fate of humanity really matter that much?

...

As Ning Yu’er’s silhouette flashed past, the three advancing zombies instantly dropped dead. Xu Tianyu hadn’t even reacted before being carried away to a distant place.

"You are..."

"I don’t have time to explain much; do your best to tell those still alive to start retreating immediately."

"..."

After a brief exchange, without giving Xu Tianyu a chance to speak, Ning Yu’er threw him to a safe place, and her figure, like an unpredictable light, quickly sped toward a certain direction.

She had resolutely decided to execute the plan she held in her mind; this would not be a meaningless sacrifice, for she intended to turn Cloud Gorge Base into a tombstone for those corpse kings and Hatred! Ultimately, how many can survive this calamity would depend on their luck.

Though she lamented, she would still disappoint the love from Mr. Zombie King.

Staggering to the ground, Xu Tianyu watched Ning Yu’er disappear from sight, wanting to ask what she planned to do but without the chance to speak. Crimson mutated zombie tides were swallowing the land, with numerous black insect species hidden underground, along with the army-pressing giant demon zombie tides!

On such a battlefield, Level 8 New Humans were still too weak, like ants, playing too little a role; what he could do...

Struggling within, Xu Tianyu finally turned to the increasingly dazzling light in the south, muttered a silent apology in his heart, then jumped from the ruins, rushing toward the nearest battalion’s location.

At six fifty-three in the afternoon, with the sky somber, snowflakes constantly falling, contrasted against the radiant light from the south, appeared extremely incongruous. At the moment when the northern corpse king’s devotees appeared, Radiation Zombie King brazenly struck out at Su Sigui.

The clash between two Level 9 beings whipped up wind waves and stirred large amounts of dust, blinding people’s eyes. Inside the original Wanhe Third District defense line, soldiers still alive stood alongside many Righteous Defender Group members who embraced the resolve to die. Each person had steadfast eyes, waiting for the commander’s order, ready to exchange their lives for dragging the approaching zombies to hell.

Facing the light, with a blood-covered commanding officer tearing off his tattered battle armor, raising the military knife in his hand, but in the moment of death rush, was interrupted by the heavily landed Xu Tianyu.
