Chapter 596: Chapter 490, Level 18 Zombie King
Hu hu~!
The Skeleton Flying Dragon swept over the factory from above.
Solid Iron Bullets whistled death as they plummeted swiftly.
In an instant, the roar was everywhere, turning everything on its head.
Piles of zombies, turned into chunks of flesh in the bombing.
“Attack~!”
Without waiting for the dust to settle, Wu Heng gave the order directly.
The skeletons lined up tightly, spears forward, starting to push forward step by step.
Forcefully squeezing into the gate, they began to fight with the zombies blocking inside.
Sharp weapons pierced flesh and blood.
The growls and howls of zombies filled the entire area.
Apart from the discovered Zombie King, the number of zombies posed no threat at all.
The cleaning of the city’s tides of the undead before, each battle was many times more than the current number of zombies.
The Zombie King delayed appearing.
The number of zombies decreased rapidly amidst the slaughter of the Skeleton Army.
“Wu Heng! There’s a group of zombies circling around that way, it looks like they’re trying to attack the convoy in the back,” Glenda flew down from above and said quickly.
“Is there a Zombie King?”
“No, but there are second-level zombies and lots of those Evolved Zombies you talked about,” replied Glenda.
In other words, this was a sneaking team.
The commanding zombies were now capable of using tactics as well.
Wu Heng glanced at the direction Glenda mentioned about the zombie sneak attack group and tossed the “Silent Blade Evil Sword” from his Space Ring to Glenda.
“Go take care of some, be careful with the range, don’t hurt our own people.”
Glenda caught the Evil Sword and advised, “Be careful yourself, I’ll be back soon.”
Wu Heng nodded, and Glenda quickly left.
“You go help too, speed it up.”
Several Level 15 skeleton attendants beside him drew their weapons one after another and joined the fray.
They swiftly killed the zombies along the way.

…
Outside the factory, in the woods.
Three second-level Mutated Zombies and more than two hundred Evolved Zombies.
Ran swiftly through the woods.
On the path they must cross, a Longsword unsheathed, floated in mid-air.
Shua~!
The sword light flashed by, and the head of the leading Big Guy zombie rolled on the ground.
Shua shua shua~!
Then the second, the third…
As they charged into the range of the Special Item, heads fell to the ground one after another.
The few Evolved Zombies trailing at the end suddenly stopped.
They started running in the opposite direction.
The floating Evil Sword directly charged after them.
…
The factory location.
The ground was covered with zombie bodies.
Those still able to resist the skeletons were dwindling in number.
The remaining time needed to continue the push was all it would take to clean up all zombies.
“Uncle, that Zombie King is out,” Xiao Xiao flew down quickly.
Bang~!
While Xiao Xiao was speaking.
The windows on the third floor suddenly shattered.
Along with the sky of falling glass shards, the ‘Zombie King’ in a bloody suit rode on a second-level Crawler and fell from the sky.
Then, it broke through the scattering skeletons and fled toward the back of the factory grounds.
Escape?
He had thought the other side would charge over.
But it was fleeing instead.
The Zombie King, riding on the Crawler’s back, turned its grotesque head to look behind as it retreated.
Staring at Wu Heng’s position, its eyes filled with hatred and resentment.
It indeed possessed higher intelligence.
They couldn’t let it get away.
Once it left here and regrouped zombies in the city, it would be even more dangerous.
“Block them,” Wu Heng ordered directly.
As his words fell, Kerim and the Level 17 Skeleton Fist Master – Tuolga, lightly tapped their feet and dashed out like arrows.
A horde of Ax-wielding Skeletons also started to run wildly.
Bypassing buildings, they pounced over, dragging and hacking at the fleeing pair of skeletons.
In a blink of an eye, the fleeing Crawler was adorned with a host of skeletons upon it.
Hu~!
The Fog rose on the periphery.
In the next second, Kerim’s figure appeared behind the Zombie King.
Sitting on the Crawler’s back, the Zombie King glanced backward, and its decaying skin swiftly covered with a layer of black keratin.
Ducking its head to avoid the beheading strike.
But it also suffered a deep gash that reached the bone on the back of its neck.
Immediately after, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, flesh reconnected, and keratin covered the surface once more.
Kerim swung his Longsword again, aiming for the Zombie King.
The Fist Master Tuolga also stood in front of the Crawler, his fists striking out in unison.
Bang~!
With the blast and shock wave, the fleeing Crawler rolled backward.
Throwing the Zombie King off its back, the Crawler tumbled several times and was submerged by the surrounding swarm of Ax-wielding skeletons.
The Zombie King rolled on the ground, slowly standing up.
Grabbing its twisted left arm with its right hand, it clicked and snapped it back into place amidst audible crunches.
Muscles writhed, regaining their normal state.
Its eyes swept quickly around, and it dashed wildly to one side, still aiming to flee the scene.
Kerim and Tuolga quickly followed, their swords and fists ceaselessly attacking.
Striking at the target.
Both skeleton attendants were Level 17, and they belonged to professions highly skilled in close combat.
Even though the Zombie King’s intelligence had improved,
his skills and abilities still couldn’t compare to those of close combat professions.
The black keratin offered strong defense; even the fierce attacks of the two skeletons only twisted body parts or left wounds.
Yet the Zombie King’s regenerative ability had reached a terrifying level.
It was basically healing at a visible rate to the eye.
Bang Bang Bang~!
Wu Heng, from behind, set up his sniper rifle and searched for a target to shoot bullet after bullet.
The bullets swiftly pierced through the Zombie King’s body.
And at the broken spots, they were still wriggling, healing bit by bit.
When healed, the bizarre Zombie King started to run away again, focused solely on leaving the area first.
…
Such strong self-healing abilities?
This detail filled Wu Heng with surprise.
No professional, even at Level 18, possessed such strong self-healing capabilities.
Bones could be restored, and cuts could heal back to normal in just a few seconds.
That’s too terrifying.
If any professional could have this ability,
their survival capability would be frightening, and they’d save a fortune on elixirs.
Watching the Zombie King start to scurry around, using the terrain to avoid the encirclement of skeletons,
Wu Heng’s brows also furrowed.
He didn’t have time to run circles with a zombie like this, as the rescue team might arrive at any moment.
If the battle hadn’t ended by then, he might find himself in a difficult position.
He handed a chain to the Level 18 Great Fist Master ‘Kai Xiu’ next to him and said, “Kai Xiu, go over there and kill it.”
Kai Xiu picked up the chain and with a push off his feet, charged directly into the fray.
Quickly bypassing the skeletons in front,
he closed the gap between them and directly threw the chain from his hand.
Before the Zombie King could react, it swiftly ensnared his waist, and its other end connected to Kai Xiu.
The Gladiator Shackles, once connected, would only open upon one side’s death.
The connecting chain began to steadily shorten.
No matter how much the Zombie King struggled, it couldn’t escape the Special Item’s effect.
Now at close quarters.
Kai Xiu’s fists, tipped with tiger rings, bombarded the Zombie King like a torrential downpour.
Within the carapace, explosions began non-stop.
Black, viscous blood sprayed unceasingly from the blasted wounds.
Even with such strong regenerative power,
facing the unending punches powered by the Great Fist Master’s Domain Fist Intent,
the healing couldn’t keep pace with the spreading injuries.
As bones were consecutively shattered, the body slumped to the ground limp.
The chains remained connected, meaning it was still alive, not dead.
“Kerim, chop off its head.”
The Fog Skill was released once more.
Kerim appeared behind the paralyzed Zombie King, his Longsword slashing down, getting stuck in the neck bone.
Then, he exerted force again.
Crack~!
The neck bone broke.
The head fell to the side.
After a brief twitching on the ground,
The chains opened, disconnecting the two.
The skeletons returned to a standby mode,
proving that all zombies in the vicinity had been killed off.
Wu Heng walked over for a look and issued another order, instructing to clean up the battlefield and collect all the corpses.
Whizz~!
All the standby skeletons sprang into action.
And began to clean up the battlefield along the way.
At this time, Glenda also flew back and seeing the surroundings and the bodies on the ground, said in surprise, “That was fast?”
Wu Heng glanced to the side, “The kid is here, watch your language.”
“No, I mean, you killed the Zombie King so quickly! I thought I might have to wait a bit longer,” Glenda said.
“It leaped out on its own, otherwise fighting inside a building would’ve indeed taken much longer,” Wu Heng commented as he kicked the rolling head back to its place.
“Yeah, I was saying there’s no need to worry too much about you with your current capability; even Level 18 might not be able to defeat you,” Glenda spoke up, handing back the Evil Sword.
Xiao Xiao also nodded in agreement, “Uncle, you’re much stronger than before.”
“Thanks for the acknowledgment, you two,” Wu Heng said, keeping an eye outside. “I’m not sure if the rescue team will come; keep watch for me.”
The two Ghosts nodded and took to the sky once again,
to keep watch.
Wu Heng took out the walkie-talkie and ordered Qi Hancai to bring the convoy over.
His gaze then returned to the body on the ground.
A Level 18 Zombie King.
Qi Hancai had mentioned it before, and he hadn’t expected to have killed one just after arriving.
Bone Manipulation Skill released.
The flesh fell away, and the skeleton slowly stood up.
[Skeleton Demon (Level 18)]
…
Xinbiaolu.
The rescue team’s convoy stopped by a road juncture.
Someone checked the zombies’ corpses beside the road and stated, “Captain, these were all killed with cold weapons, seems to match what the service station reported—they used cold weapons in combat.”
The crew-cut captain chuckled, “They don’t have much ammo; what we traded them is countable.”
“Yeah! But those two armored vehicles are still quite dangerous.”
The captain asked, “How much longer until we reach the factory area?”
“About 40 minutes more; then we’ll be able to see it,” someone replied.
With a sneer, the captain said, “Let’s hope they haven’t all died; get in the car, and let’s hurry over.”
“Yes!”
