Chapter 408 - The Long Battle - Part 1

As soon as Yu Shun placed her hand on Sheronʼs head, the female zombie stopped struggling. It seemed the two were battling in a place he did not know.

He could see the sweat start to pour out from Yu Shunʼs face as his face turned red. The process lasted for a whole ten minutes before Yu Shun opened his eyes.

The young man released a deep breath and shook his head while he had an unbelievable expression on his face, ”I am failed!” Yu Shun uttered while looking at Tang Shaoyang.

”Kuhahaha,” Sheron suddenly let out a peal of vulgar laughter, ”Do you think this weakling can conquer my mind? He is a hundred years too young for that!”

Even though her fate was in Tang Shaoyangʼs hand, Sheron never lost her arrogance. She still could laugh even in her situation. That was something.

”Then I should kill. Itʼs a pity that you canʼt have the stage-9 zombie,” Tang Shaoyang was not disappointed, but maybe the stage-9 zombie was still too much for Yu Shun.

”Wait, My Lord. Let me try again. I have saved enough Skill Points for this moment,” Yu Shun was not giving up. And indeed, he saved up his Skill Points to upgrade his [Zombie Authority].

”Let me level up my skill first, and let me have the second try,” Yu Shun immediately used the remaining skill point he had.

The young man did not want his precious collection to be killed. After he leveled up his skill, he tried for the second attempt. He placed his hand at the back of Sheronʼs head.

Tang Shaoyang observed Yu Shunʼs face closely. He wondered about the feeling of using the skill to subordinate the zombie. Was it that hard? He was quite curious but he could never get to feel it unless he got the same class as Yu Shunʼs.

The whole process took five minutes. Yu Shun opened his eyes in five minutes with a smile plastered on his face.

”It seems you succeeded!?” Tang Shaoyang already knew that by his reaction. He asked anyway for the confirmation.

Sure enough, Yu Shun nodded his head, ”Yes, but it seems a stage-9 zombie is my limit for now. If thereʼs a stronger zombie than the stage-9 zombie, I canʼt use my skill to capture it,” he was quite disappointed with this as he showed it on his face.

”Thatʼs strong enough to capture a stage-9 zombie, and you still not satisfied with that?” Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes. Maybe there were no more than five Stage-9 Zombies in the Daian Kingdom and less than ten even both zombie kingdoms combined.

Tang Shaoyang released Sheron. The haughtiness on her was gone. It was replaced with an obedient girl as Sheron walked to Yu Shunʼs back.

”The main threat has been taken care of, I will enter the city to destroy the Zombie Consort. Help them if they encounter a high-evolution zombie!” Tang Shaoyang tapped Wenʼs shoulder and Yu Shunʼs shoulder at the same time before he flew off into the city.

With Sheronʼs death, the zombie formation was breaking down. All kinds of zombies now poured out of the city, heading toward the human armies.

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained two attribute points!]

The notification rang again in his head. Gan Shuo had lost count of how many levels he had gained during the battle. Usually, the notification would make him smile a little, but he was not happy in the slightest.

He mechanically opened the window status and allocated his free attribute points. At the same time, he glanced at the number his level. He was level 83 right now.

This was an insane leveling speed. At first, he just fought mostly stage-2 zombies and sometimes stage-3 zombies. However, now he could face five stage-3 zombies at the same time, even stage-4 zombies.

Whether it was Crusher or Swiffer or Piercer, he fought all of them and killed all the zombies on his path. While his exhausted body recovered from leveling up, it did not help with his mind.

The countless zombies poured at him, making his mind grow wearier as the battle went on. He had been questioning himself when the battle was over? The only strength that kept his body moving was his family, his wife, his twelve years old son, and his eight years old daughter. The only thing to maintain his weary mind was clear.

Swoosh!

While his mind was moving around, thinking about anything else. His body was moving mechanically, slicing the zombieʼs head.

Gan Shuo looked up, he was surprised to see his Squad Captain had maintained his focus. His eyes remained sharp as the spear in his hand tore the zombieʼs neck.

ʼDonʼt he have any worries? We have been fighting for hours, we have entered the city now, but it changes nothing. We were nowhere close to winning the battle. The zombies keep coming toward us!ʼ

But then he noticed someone else ran near his group. She was a girl, in her early twenties. The girl was holding a spear but she had a giant white bear next to her.

The giant white bear easily mauled the zombies into pieces that came close to the girl. Gan Shuoʼs eyes looked toward the girlʼs face. The girl did not lose her fighting spirit. Green liquid covered her armor and face, she looked sharp and composed even though she was surrounded by the zombies, along with the bear.

At this time, Gan Shuo noticed Captain Fan Rui and two units following him came toward them after clearing the zombies.

”Gu Yingjie, follow me! Vice General Wei Xi asked me to assist General Zhang! She broke through the enemy line alone!” Gan Shuo heard the conversation between his Squad Captain and Captain Fan Rui very clearly.

ʼDamn! Not only do we have to fight the countless zombies, now we have to protect Lord Shaoyangʼs women as well!ʼ Gan Shuo could not help but cuss inwardly.

”Commander Li Na, will you help us to make the path forward?” Captain Fan Rui spoke to the girl who fought with the zombies with the giant white bear.

”Okay!” The girl hopped onto the bear as she agreed to help.

ʼThatʼs good, our burden would be reduced with the giant bear with us,ʼ Gan Shuo tried to think positively.

ʼCommander Li Na, huh!? Is she one of Lord Shaoyangʼs women?ʼ Gan Shuo had heard the name from Captain Cao Yuntai, but this was the first time he saw her in person.

”Get ready! We will follow Moon to break through the zombieʼs line. We will assist Supreme General Zhang! Donʼt doze around if you donʼt want to be left out!” Gu Yingjie shouted at his unit before looking forward.

ʼSupreme General? She holds the highest position in the army, but she does not have the power to hold that position. How could she need assistance from a weakling like me?ʼ Gan Shuoʼs mind was clouded by negativity.

Of course, he still followed the order. The giant bear easily made a path for them to break through the zombie wall. As they moved forward, Gan Shuo saw something flying in the air. Around ten to fifteen meters in the air.

ʼHuh!? Whatʼs that?ʼ Gan Shuo squinted his eyes to get a clear look. Then he noticed that the things that were flying into the air were zombie parts. He was the head, half of the body, hands, and even the rotten eyeball.

”Get ready to hold your position! We will provide back assistance for Supreme General Zhang Mengyao! We will protect her back from the zombies!” Gan Shuo heard the instruction.

It was not his Squad Captainʼs instruction but from Captain Fan Rui. Gan Shuo readied himself to continue fighting the zombies.

His curiosity to find out what caused the zombie parts to fly in the air caused him to look in the front. He wanted to know who did that.

Soon he managed to see who did that, that was a figure in black armor. The figure was holding a shield and a big lance. With one swing of the lance, dozens of zombies were killed.

It did not stop there, the thrust of the lance also killed no less than a swing of the lance. The zombies had their heads destroyed by the lance. Soon he found out who this figure in the black armor was.

Supreme General Zhang Mengyao, the figure was their General. He could tell that as they formed the formation around her. Her back figure while killing zombies, for some reason, invoking the fighting spirit that had died a few hours ago.

ʼDoes she need our assistance?ʼ
