CHAPTER 2042: CHAPTER 2035: COUNTERATTACK OF THE SKINWALKERS

Swish~!

Like the sound of metal scraping at high speed, Kamutos fell from the sky toward the earth, relentlessly pursuing the seemingly fleeing Su Sigui. The chaotic light stirred up the surrounding white sand, obscuring the sky, but she stopped after a short while, and it stopped too.

For a brief moment, rational thought emerged, and it hesitated again. In the blurred yet pale vision, until that person weakly bent her knees, kneeling on the ground, coughing up another mouthful of bright blood that appeared dazzling in the vast white sand.

Ah, that wonderful scent seized its rational thought again, making it enthralled, and it continued forward quickly!

Just like before, a glowing orb too bright to look at expanded in her vision, but this time, she did nothing, letting the orb swallow her body!

At the last moment, she forcefully pulled the threads, and the mirror walls she controlled moved together, enclosing the area from all directions!

Zombie King Camutos realized something was amiss and reacted, attempting to forsake the tempting flesh in front of it and flee immediately, but it was too late!

With a series of "bang bang bang" sounds, the mirrors stuck tightly to one another! A dozen mirrors formed a watertight polygon!

The light from Camutos reflected everywhere in this all-mirrored space, making escape impossible!

Now, it started to panic, emitting a rapid and high-pitched sound!

Boom~!!

Thud...

Brightness and heat surged madly, piercing the retinas, evaporating all moisture!

She didn’t care about any of this, enduring the pain while slowly waiting for something.

No miracle occurred this time. In the mirrored world, everything was as vague and dazzlingly white as the white sand outside. Her body dissipated entirely within the light, leaving nothing behind.

Kamutos successfully absorbed all the nutrients from a Level 9 New Human, causing its strength to grow madly, yet it did not feel joyful. Instead, it perceived something unprecedented, indescribable, overwhelming the panic—only people knew that this was death!

It struggled frantically, capable of intervening countless things in this world, but it had no means to deal with the smooth mirrors, using all its might to save itself!

Outside, the ten-mirror polygon cage started to shake violently, it wanted to break free. In reality, it saw hope but couldn’t touch it, as the saying goes, "Hope is beyond reach, like a dying horse chasing the mountain."

Time passed by, second by second. Within this seemingly fragile cage, brightness reached its peak! Surpassing the limits Camutos itself could bear, the continuously reflecting light began to devour Camutos!

Unknown how much time passed, a sudden "crack" sound was unusually jarring, a clear crack appeared on the surface of the mirror wall, triggering uncontrollable shutter effects as more and more cracks destroyed the smoothness of the mirror!

Yet again, unknown how long passed, a loud sound completely unnatural for this planet erupted, as if a trillion TNT-equivalent nuclear bomb exploded by the ears, instantly drowning out all sounds in the world!

Boom!

The intense explosion triggered hundreds of meters high white sand waves! At this moment, it was as if the true sun fell to the earth, indescribable terrifying light turned the sky pale instantly!

This lasted only for a moment. Quickly, the world returned to normal, yet in that instant, nearby creatures evaporated instantaneously, while countless creatures, even hundreds of kilometers away, turned blind and deaf!

It ended, Zombie King Camutos and Su Sigui vanished together, forcing all energy it could release in its remaining life to erupt in that second!

One of the Six Zombie Kings was eliminated!

Despite such a significant disturbance, on the main battlefield, it only attracted both humans and zombies’ attention for less than two seconds before everything returned to normal.

More and more areas on the ground became covered in the color of the zombie tide itself, yet north of the Cloud Gorge Base, at the temporary mobilization site, an extremely comical scene was unfolding.

Tens of thousands of soldiers stood upright, forming a vast formation. The officers at the front walked past each soldier stern-faced, singing an old song.

"Sister you sit by the bedside oh, brother walks on the shore! Lovingly~ The rope sways gently! Sing!"

As the officer led, the soldiers followed in singing, and then the officer came before the next soldier, singing the same song again!

"Sister you sit by the bedside oh, brother walks on the shore! Lovingly~ The rope sways gently! Sing!"

"Sister you sit by the bed... oh?, brother walks on the shore, lovingly... lovingly, the rope sways gently?" The second soldier stammered out the lyrics without any tune, and as soon as the sound fell, the officer swung his knife on the spot, cutting the soldier in half, the rotting blackened intestines flowing out like some kind of slime.

"The river~ flows eastwards, the stars in the sky~ join Beidou! Sing!"

"The river... flows eastwards? The stars in the sky sing Beidou...?"

Crack!

Within merely a few minutes, zombies fell everywhere! Originally normal-looking soldiers turned into slimy, collapsed, ragged "skins" upon dying, their flesh rotting!

These things were human-imitating zombies!

The battle had persisted till now, more and more zombies influenced by the Zombie King had joined the battlefield. Some special zombies seized their great opportunity, disguising as humans and mixing in, bringing even more trouble to the human army!

The ferocious Zombie King up front posed an absolute major threat, and the internal trouble must be cleared first, or the path forward would be hopeless!

Old-timed songs brimming with a heavy sense of era emerged from the mouths of officers. To the Chinese people, "A Boatman’s Love" and "Hero Song" were almost impossible not to sing, providing the crucial check against human-imitating zombies!

Yet for zombies, they could not comprehend the principle behind it. They couldn’t tell it was a song. In their minds, singing and speaking bore no distinction! Originally intending to bluff through, but as more and more of their kind died under those officers’ blades, finally, some advanced human-imitating zombies couldn’t sit still anymore.

An officer suddenly walked into the formation, apparently similar to other officers, inspecting soldiers.

He caught the eye of a soldier not yet inspected from the rear, seemingly reaching some sort of agreement in that split second!

The officer who just entered the formation approached another officer, before the latter spoke, his expression suddenly twisted!

Swish!

The blood-smeared zombie-slaying sword was suddenly drawn, swiftly slashing!

Puff~!

It was the sound of flesh instantly being sliced open!

The unfortunate senior officer didn’t even have time to react; he just felt emptiness and lightness, and pain shot through him!

His shoulder to his right leg half was neatly sliced into a cross-section!
