nChapter 116: Tier 5 Zombie King, Vampire!

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

nLolita’s mother had a good idea.

nBut there were many problems involved.

nThe first was direction, the second was battle losses, the third was the path, the fourth was the method of escape.

nAnd the list goes on to five, six, seven, eight, nine…

nIn short, it was very difficult, very difficult indeed.

n“But no matter how difficult it is, we have to give it a try. If we don’t try now and wait until this place is completely enveloped by the Black Mist, we’ll have to try again…”

nIt was known that one needed the strength of a Level 5 to be led away by the Holy Tower, and it was also known that the speed of the Black Mist’s shrinking would become faster and faster.

nThe time left for the survivors was less than two months, and this time was simply not enough for all the survivors to become Level 5 Awakened individuals. Even with the Basic Breathing Technique, time was insufficient.

nFurthermore, the situation behind the Holy Tower was also unknown. Huo Sheng really could not take this risk.

nTherefore, there was only one path left—to go to the Black Mist Zone.

nThey either fought their way out or struggled to survive within the Black Mist Zone.

nGlancing sideways at Lu Ming, Huo Sheng realized that Lu Ming’s face showed no expression at all.

nHuo Sheng could not help but sigh in his heart.

nHe actually had the intention of letting Lu Ming lead the team to explore the Black Mist Zone – after all, he had already said that in another two months, this side would be swallowed by the Black Mist.

nBut for now, it seemed that Lu Ming had no thoughts about the Black Mist Zone at all.

nThis was not surprising.

nLu Ming’s personality was just like that.

nIn addition, Lu Ming was special. Not to mention two months, even if there was only one day left, Lu Ming could become a little stronger. The later he went to the Black Mist Zone, the more advantageous it was for Lu Ming!

nAfter figuring this out, Huo Sheng no longer had any other thoughts.

nAfter chatting with Lu Ming for a while, Huo Sheng bade farewell and left. Lu Ming finished his meal and prepared to take a nap.

nDay 110 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Thursday.

nNothing happened.

nWith the help of an Awakened with healing abilities, Bai Tianyu was healed of his injuries.

nAt the same time, he invited Duan Mei to join the Black Mist Exploration Team and she gladly accepted.

nOn the same day, Huo Sheng completed the dissection of the Six-legged Wolf Bear and confirmed that there were no zombie crystals in the exotic beast’s body. Moreover, its flesh and blood could only fill his stomach but could not replace the function of the Breathing Technique or Zombie Crystals.

nOn the other hand, the Flesh Mountain was the same as the zombies. They both had zombie crystals.

nDay 111 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Friday.

nObservations showed that the contraction speed of th Black Mist had indeed accelerated several times.

nDay 112 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Saturday.

nThere was unusual movement observed in the zombies outside Nanxiang City, but the authorities did not dare to investigate further.

nDay 113th day of the Apocalypse Calendar, Sunday.

nNoon.

nOutside Nanxiang City, at the edge of Linhai County.

nAn enormous number of zombies gathered here.

nAmong them, there were even five Tanks and two Devourers!

nThe Second Zombie King Gathering?

nNo, it wasn’t.

nBecause there was only one true protagonist in this zombie feast!

nThe real ruler standing at the forefront of the zombies.

nGris Klass!

nIt had long golden hair and, in appearance, was similar to a human, but its skin was even paler than that of Caucasians.

nYet, it didn’t have green or blue eyes.

nIts pupils were deep red.

nFaint ripples emanated from those deep red pupils, as if there was a profound sea of blood hidden within its eyes.

nBesides Gris, Simba and Lian Jie had complicated expressions, but they stood quietly like well-behaved primary school students.

nIt all started three days ago…

nAfter being ambushed by the Six-Legged Wolf Bears, Simba and Lian Jie once again embarked on a journey of escape.

nThe two pitiful Tier 4 Zombie Kings were like stray dogs, unable to find a moment of peace…

nIn short, the two of them ran into Gris Klass!

nThen, they immediately knelt down on the spot…

nHigh-tier zombies naturally had a terrifying suppressive ability over low-tier zombies—before Gris, the two Tier 4 Devourers had absolutely no room to resist.

nAs for this Gris Klass, it was a zombie that had crossed over from the Black Mist Zone—yes, not only humans could enter the Black Mist Zone, but zombies could as well.

nIf a zombie wanted to leave the Black Mist Zone, the conditions were even harsher than for an Awakened.

nHowever, there was a trick like taking the opportunity to cross over when the Black Mist split open.

nThat was exactly what Gris had done.

nAlthough it was very coincidental, it had indeed come from New York to Nanxiang—yes, it was a zombie from America’s side.

nAs for Gris Klass’s legendary experience, there was no need to go into such detail.

nThe focus was on its objective.

nAfter finally leaving the Black Mist Zone, Gris Klass was prepared to play a big game.

nTo unite the horde of zombies in Nanxiang and, at the last moment, take them all to the Black Mist Zone.

nTo put it bluntly, it was living a miserable life in the Black Mist Zone and was preparing to return to the Newbie Village to develop. This was also why it spared the lives of Simba and Lian Jie and instead took them as its underlings.

nToday, Gris brought its underlings to Linhai County.

nIt had heard from Simba that there was a special zombie here.

nIt was called the Blood Flesh Mother Tree!

n“Zombies are the darlings of the Mystery Factor.

nUnder the influence of the mystery factor, zombies will show various evolutionary paths.

nFrom the Tier 4 zombies, there were two evolutionary routes —Tank and Devourer.

nAnd at Tier 5, there will be more evolutionary routes.

nFor example, the Tank’s evolutionary forms are Flesh Mountain, Hunter, and Sadist.

nOr for example, the evolutionary form of the Devourer: Me.”

nGris spoke softly, saying so.

nIt was in English, but Simba could understand it—it might have been a high-intellectual before becoming a zombie…

nAs soon as Gris finished speaking, Simba immediately started boot licking.

n“Boss’s evolution must be very impressive, right?”

nGris’s lips curled up into a faint smile.

n“Vampire, I’ll name my form Vampire.

nIn fact, we Devourers are the favorites of the Mystery Factor.

nThe Devourer can devour different superpower genes and obtain various abilities. However, as an experienced person, I’ll give you a piece of advice. Don’t eat too many and too diverse genes. Absorb only superpower genes. After absorbing enough genes with high compatibility, the Devourer will advance to a Tier 5 creature!

nAnd depending on the different genes consumed, the Devourer’s advancement form is also different.

nFor example, I, having successively absorbed different abilities like blood control, bodily transformation, blood boiling, ultrasonic waves, and so on, could successfully evolve to my current state, possessing all the power stemming from blood!

nTherefore, every Level 5 creature evolved from a Devourer has a different form and ability.”

nSimba started licking again.

n“Thank you Boss, for your teachings! Boss is peerless and valiant, Boss will unify Nanxiang!”

nGris’s lips curled up again.

nBut it raised his hand and pointed to the huge monster in the center of Linhai County.

n“But I’ve never seen this thing before.”

nThe Blood Flesh Mother Tree looked like a willow or a pine tree.

nNo one knew if this thing was a plant, an animal, or a zombie…

n“But 1 think it should be a zombie. Did the two of you see that? Absorbing foreign genes randomly caused its genes to collapse. This is the outcome.”

nAccording to Gris’s judgment, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree should be a wrong evolution product of the Devourer’s indiscriminate absorption of foreign genes.

nThis kind of thing was very troublesome and dangerous.

nHowever, once it was subdued, it would be an extremely powerful trump card!

nWith this in mind, Gris made up his mind.

n“You guys wait here. I’ll go take a look at what this thing really is..”

n
