CHAPTER 2035: CHAPTER 2028: FATE IS HARD TO DEFY

After speaking, Bai Huipeng took a breath. Too many people had died, and the air was thick with a bloody stench. No one, among the present Level 8 New Humans, rejected his plan, but Ah Fu wouldn’t accept it. He held back the urge to slap the other party to the ground and roared angrily with a buzzing voice, "What are you inhaling for? Bring the people from the Royal Court and follow me!"

His tone allowed no doubt. Bai Huipeng was stunned, noticing the expression on Ah Fu’s face.

"Why?" he asked deeply.

He guessed something, Ah Fu also thought of it, his tone softened a bit: "Chang Jinlun is dead, this... isn’t fun."

"How are the others?"

"..." Mouth opened then closed, Ah Fu ultimately didn’t answer this question, saying, "Come with us, let’s not worry about these broken things, go!" After saying that, he reached out to pull the other party, but Bai Huipeng broke free.

"No way! I can’t stand by and watch, I have to find a way to restrain that Zombie King!"

"Where did you get such a big sense of responsibility? It’s none of your business!" Suddenly Ah Fu roared out, and Bai Huipeng didn’t explain.

Sense of responsibility?

He himself didn’t know where it came from.

It was just a simple unwillingness to watch his race become as lowly as pigs and sheep of the past. The Royal Court was his home, but he didn’t want to just barely survive within it.

He could understand Ah Fu’s approach, so he just said, "You all go, don’t worry about me."

"You’ll die!" Seeing Bai Huipeng’s resolute expression, Ah Fu wanted to persuade him, but he couldn’t hold his temper. Before his words fell, Bai Huipeng had already rushed off with people in the opposite direction.

Yan Xing watched their backs, his heart briefly flared with frustration.

"This is madness!" He somewhat hesitated to follow, cherishing his life wasn’t wrong, but with so many soldiers watching him, helplessly, he could only follow, using these Level 8 New Humans’ lives to divert the Abyssal Zombie King.

"Ma De!" Everyone’s determined looks to face death made Ah Fu curse angrily, glancing fiercely in the direction of those soldiers, but he didn’t leave with the other zombies. Instead, he gave orders: "Chu Zha, Hong Heixin, you two go and take care of the mother nest, help Old White and the others."

A group of high-level zombies did not disobey, nodding, Chu Zha and Hong Heixin together rushed towards the mother nest, while the other zombies followed Ah Fu in pursuit of Bai Huipeng and others.

...

"Follow the plan I mentioned before, everyone handles it carefully. Next, any of us could die. If you’re targeted... let’s see who’s lucky." While heading to the Abyssal Zombie King, Bai Huipeng instructed, his voice somewhat muffled. One glance back, he noticed Ah Fu and them catching up, the haze in his heart seemed to disperse somewhat, squeezing out a rare smile, Bai Huipeng quickened his pace!

The blood aura formed by several Level 8 New Humans quickly attracted the attention of the Abyssal Zombie King. After a brief assessment, sure enough, it targeted Bai Huipeng and his group, which were more beneficial to itself.

Seeing them not fleeing but instead approaching, the Abyssal Zombie King dismissed the idea of toying with them, hastening its forward movement!

At the same time, Bai Huipeng shouted, "Disperse!" As soon as he spoke the word, the group of Level 8 New Humans immediately scattered in different directions.

"Be careful!" Ah Fu impatiently snapped at Heiya and the others behind, then leapt up, jumping onto a nearby flaming building. Each pull of his stout arm propelled him dozens of meters up, approaching the rooftop with a wild stance.

Taking in the full appearance of the Abyssal Zombie King, thinking about how to help Bai Huipeng and them, but as he thought, Ah Fu frowned, turned his head in a certain direction, and in the distance, several Level 8 Radiated Species broke out from the silver-armored zombie tide, full of malice, chasing after Bai Huipeng and his group.

This scene made Ah Fu’s bronze eyes chill, each nostril emitting a puff of black gas.

"Take care of them!" He warned Heiya and other high-level zombies, his mouth issuing a low growl, then he forcefully stomped his feet, his robust body like a giant stone crashing heavily towards those Level 8 Radiated Species!

Boom!

With a loud noise, spider-web-like cracks spread across the ground. Among the few Radiated Species entering Cloud Gorge Base, two hadn’t reacted in time, their heads grasped by mighty hands and forcefully smashed together!

Bam!

Under the terrifying strength, the two Radiated Species couldn’t resist momentarily, their heads instantly turned to pulp, one unlucky one didn’t even have time to transfer its Evolution Crystal, dying on the spot!

Roar!

The thick zombie roar unique to silver-armored zombies rose from behind; Heiya and other high-level silver-armored zombies charged in like hungry wolves, and a fierce battle broke out!

Simultaneously, led by Bai Huipeng, the group of Level 8 New Humans reacted and acted quickly, making the necessary moves while the Abyssal Zombie King was still some distance away.

But the problem was, they underestimated the terror of a Zombie King. Just a second after they dispersed, the Zombie King’s swimming speed increased again, its long body suddenly becoming like a freshly launched arrow, grinding past the broken buildings to arrive in front of them.

One Level 8 New Human wearing a blue exoskeleton battle suit was terrified out of his wits; he wasn’t one of the Royal Court’s Level 8 New Humans, just happened to be rescued by Bai Huipeng’s group at Cloud Gorge Base.

He didn’t expect to be so unlucky, to be the first target of the Abyssal Zombie King. His brain crashed, and before he had time to react, the front part of the Zombie King’s body, full of withered hands, swept past, one arm seizing his body and swiftly stuffing it into one of its blood-red mouths.

Just like that, in front of Bai Huipeng and the others, this Level 8 New Human had no time to resist, being killed on the spot as countless sharp teeth closed in, blood splattered!

The fresh flesh and blood of the living creature blossomed on the zombie’s taste buds, moisturizing every shriveled tissue in its mouth. Bai Huipeng saw, the Abyssal Zombie King’s body, stretching hundreds of meters, seemed to tremble.

This was a tremble of excitement!

Just a single encounter, a Level 8 New Human died without any ability to resist, and this horrific scene made his hair stand on end and his whole body go cold!

"Quick! Faster, everyone!" he shouted, urging others to speed up and distance themselves from the Zombie King, but this wasn’t a game! Shortly after the delight, the Abyssal Zombie King then targeted another Level 8 New Human. Its centipede-like body abruptly turned, and it chased directly!

So fast, like a real typhoon, wherever it passed, everything turned to dust!

It was nothing like the previously "leisurely" moving Abyssal Zombie King!

And the second Level 8 New Human it targeted was one of the strong individuals from the Royal Court. He seemed to have guessed his fate, knowing his unavoidable destiny. Blue veins bulging on his forehead, he hoarsely shouted to the others, "Don’t mind me! Go!" Then he sprinted with all his might, trying to lure the Abyssal Zombie King further away.

Others were internally struggling, but ultimately gave up the rescue, leaving only a sigh of regret in their hearts.
