TL: Moonlit

The army of the Third District was continuously pushed back by a group of white flesh mountains. The front line kept expanding, and they wanted to know the maximum range of the venom spray but had been unable to determine it. Instead, several more people died.

Xiao Jiang’s face was extremely grim. “Use the energy cannons.”

The vehicle-mounted energy cannons were prepared, and all the muzzles were aimed at the white flesh mountains. They fired in unison.

The power of the energy cannons was formidable. The massive flesh mountains were blasted, causing their bodies to tilt and emit a wailing sound. The immense bodies began to leak viscous fluid. It seemed like the entire mass was made up of that fluid.

Everyone was overjoyed. It was effective!

As long as it was effective, the situation would be manageable. The concern was that they might exhaust all their means without being able to kill this mass of flesh mountains. The vehicle-mounted energy cannons continued to fire, countless shots, capable of toppling a real mountain, let alone a living creature?

The white flesh mountains were overturned and lying on the ground. The energy cannons ceased firing, and they waited for a moment, but there was no movement from the white flesh mountains.

A team of soldiers with special abilities was dispatched. They cautiously approached the white flesh mountains, circling around from both sides. Just as they were about to get close to the white flesh mountains, the team of soldiers simultaneously felt a chilling sensation down their spines. A strong sense of danger made their scalps tingle.

Several people in the military vehicle’s eyes contracted, but Xiao Jiang reacted the quickest and grabbed the loudspeaker, shouting, “Retreat!”

The team of soldiers with special abilities quickly retreated, but they were still a step too slow. A horde of frenzied undead creatures had already pounced on them.

Their target was the white flesh mountains. Several soldiers with special abilities didn’t even have a chance to use their powers before being overwhelmed by the horde of undead creatures. The fortunate ones who managed to escape the impact of the horde struggled with all their might to break free.

The horde of undead creatures swarmed over the white flesh mountains, tearing and biting like maggots on carrion. The previously motionless white flesh mountains suddenly let out a roar. The massive body writhed and rolled, instantly crushing a large number of undead creatures. The white flesh mountains raised their heads and sprayed out a torrent of venom, engulfing everything within its range. All the undead creatures, zombies, and humans caught within the range of the venomous deluge were completely covered!

The white flesh mountains wriggled onto the venomous deluge, and its speed increased. It scurried forward, directly targeting humans!

Its food had escaped, but the horde of undead creatures was unwilling to give up. They chased after the white flesh mountains, heading towards the humans.

The situation completely spiraled out of control.

Wen Qingling flipped over the city wall with Lu Tianjin.

Wen Qingling was very dissatisfied. “I have doubts about our cooperation.”

Lu Tianjin replied, “I won’t harm you.”

Wen Qingling said, “But you’re slowing me down.”

Lu Tianjin remained silent.

Wen Qingling continued, “I’m leaving now. Can you keep up with my speed?”

Lu Tianjin replied, “I’m afraid not.”

Wen Qingling retorted, “Then you’re useless.”

Wen Qingling disappeared from Lu Tianjin’s sight, darting away in a few leaps.

Lu Tianjin stood there, perplexed. Wasn’t this guide supposed to accompany him? Why did Wen Qingling leave on his own?

Wen Qingling appeared on a grassy road, extending his arms and stopping a returning off-road vehicle successfully, seizing it.

When Wen Qingling returned driving the car, Lu Tianjin was still standing in the same spot, reflecting on his brief life as a human and undead. His human life couldn’t continue, and his undead life had just begun. The first step had already failed. Was there still a future ahead?Wen Qingling asked, “Can you drive?”

Lu Tianjin finally recovered from his petrified state. “If you don’t mind my hands being ugly.”

Wen Qingling replied, “To be honest, I mind a lot.”

Lu Tianjin sighed.

He could only sit in the car as a passenger. He didn’t dare to act like a big shot in the back seat. Wen Qingling already held him in great disdain, and he was afraid of being kicked out of the car. After some contemplation, to show respect, he chose to sit in the co-driver’s seat… and then, Wen Qingling kicked him out.

Wen Qingling angrily exclaimed, “Who do you think you’re suffocating? Sit in the back!”

If Lu Tianjin were lighter, Wen Qingling would have tied a rope around him and dragged it into the sky. He was so smelly, who could bear it?

Lu Tianjin could only obediently sit in the back seat, compared to his smell, whether he was respected or not was already irrelevant.

Wen Qingling drove and kept nagging, “Even Xiao Hen couldn’t let me be his driver, but you’re lucky enough to have the Lord of the City driving for you. You better pray that you can successfully kill Xu Shengfei, or else I might kill you first.”

Lu Tianjin shivered and tightly closed his mouth, indicating that he dare not speak.

Wen Qingling didn’t hear his unpleasant sound… In fact, Wen Qingling didn’t want to hear it either. If it weren’t for important matters, he wouldn’t subject his ears to such torment.

Wen Qingling: “Hurry up and report your position!”

Lu Tianjin: “…”

Lu Tianjin: “C-continue forward.”

Lu Tianjin gave directions, and Wen Qingling drove the car toward Li City. Along the way, they didn’t see a single soul, only the sound of the whistling wind.

Wen Qingling abruptly hit the brakes, opened the door, got out of the car, and pulled Lu Tianjin down, dragging him towards the back. “I’ve endured your ugliness and your annoying voice, but do I have to tolerate your lies as well? Today, I’ll kill you first, and then I’ll go find Xu Shengfei myself.”

Lu Tianjin tightly clung to the seat, refusing to get out. “I didn’t lie to you. She’s really up ahead!”

Wen Qingling retorted, “Is there a ghost up ahead? We haven’t seen a single living person, not even a single zombie…”

Wen Qingling suddenly stopped and quickly got back in the car. Stepping on the gas pedal, he drove the car into the dense grass on the side of the road, concealing it within.

A row of off-road vehicles whizzed past on the road, and Lu Tianjin was so excited that he almost screamed. But a single glance from Wen Qingling silenced him. If it screamed with that raspy voice of its, it could kill someone, and now was not the time for killing.

Lu Tianjin suppressed his excitement and said, “Xu Shengfei! It’s Xu Shengfei! She was in that convoy just now!”

Wen Qingling said, “The car is yours, drive and chase them, and stay close to them.”

Lu Tianjin was stunned. “Aren’t you coming?”

Wen Qingling’s spiritual power had already spread toward Li City ahead, discovering something interesting. “You go first, my spiritual power will follow you closely, and I’ll catch up to you quickly. Don’t lose them.”

After Wen Qingling finished speaking, he had already rushed toward Li City at lightning speed.

Lu Tianjin: “…”

With that kind of speed, who needs a car?

There was a place in Li City where zombies dared not approach. It was the territory of the living and the undead. Wen Qingling floated like a ghost into the blind spot of a building. Recently, he had developed a fondness for climbing walls. Whenever he saw a wall, he wanted to climb, but unfortunately, the building in front of him was even tougher than the Central City. The walls were not only smooth but also covered in a layer of black glass, even a fly would need a walking stick.

However, did they think it could stop Wen Qingling like this? Don’t underestimate people.

The building had nineteen floors, and inside a spacious office, the atmosphere was particularly fervent. The person standing on the podium was spewing saliva while delivering an impassioned speech.“Who are we? We are the new humans of the post-apocalyptic era! We are powerful, fearless of infection, and possess long lifespans. We are the great trend of human development! We are the future of humanity! We will set sail from Central City and sweep across the world as the masters of the new era! You, yes, each and every one of you, are the creators of this new era! History will remember you!”

Wen Qingling: “…”

If they’re going to set sail, they should first take over Central City. It’s like dropping anchor before even setting sail. This pyramid scheme isn’t working out.

“Remember, each and every one of us has been bestowed with the identity of the undead by the Undead Queen. Now, return to your respective posts and become the organization’s screws, waiting for the organization’s call!”

“Yes! The organization will triumph! The undead will triumph! The Undead Queen will triumph!” The entire room roared as if they were injected with chicken blood.

The speaker was very satisfied with the incitement effect. “Go back to your respective cities and be careful!”

“Yes!”

Everyone stood up and turned to leave but noticed that the office was getting darker and darker. The speaker finally stepped out of the imagined holy light and belatedly realized that the lighting was indeed a bit too dim.

Applause suddenly came from behind, and the speaker was taken aback. When they turned around, they saw a person applauding from outside the window. The speaker looked puzzled, almost forgetting that they were on the nineteenth floor. “W-who are you? Are you a newcomer like us?”

Wen Qingling, with a hat and a mask covering his face, raised a finger and shook it. “Don’t call me a newcomer. Call me an ancestor.”

Everyone was stunned.

Wen Qingling took a step back, and at that moment, the remaining light behind them completely disappeared, plunging the entire building into darkness.

Everyone: “…”

Everyone: “…”

Everyone: “…”

What’s going on?!

The speaker took out a flashlight from their pocket, turned it on, and saw that the windows were covered with something, resembling wood from the patterns.

Everyone curiously gathered around to take a look. They confirmed that the windows were indeed blocked by wood. They cursed and seriously doubted the sanity of the person from earlier. What could they achieve by blocking their windows? Why not block the entire building while they’re at it?

As they proudly descended to the eighteenth floor and wanted to see the view outside to prove their wisdom, they discovered that the windows on the eighteenth floor were also blocked by wood. Their faces froze, but they remained calm. There’s still the seventeenth floor, sixteenth floor, fifteenth floor… They didn’t believe that the lunatic could block the entire building.

Then, as they quietly made their way from the nineteenth floor to the first floor, they didn’t encounter any light along the way. Not only that, but when they finally managed to break through a wall with great effort and planned to go out and settle the score with that lunatic, they found smooth wood.

Everyone: “…”

Ahhh!!!

Where did this lunatic come from? They actually sealed the entire building?!

They couldn’t believe it. They tirelessly dug like diligent hamsters, but all they found was smooth wood, without any light.

Outside the building, Wen Qingling stood on a vine, very satisfied with his masterpiece.

The originally smooth glass surface had now completely transformed into a wooden surface. Yes, the entire building had become a wooden box, trapping all the humans and undead inside.

The vine under Wen Qingling’s feet continued to rise, reaching the top floor. A gap opened in the sealed wooden wall. Before Wen Qingling could approach, a rotten hand suddenly reached out but was caught by the suddenly narrowed gap. Angry roars and banging against the wall came from inside the wooden wall.

Wen Qingling smirked. “Finally found you.”

Wen Qingling controlled the gap to open, and the oppressive aura of high-level zombies pressed down on the two zombies on the top floor. The ferocious zombies, who were growling aggressively, seemed to have encountered their nemesis and cowered in the corner, trembling, no longer daring to pounce.

Wen Qingling walked into the room and looked at the two large zombies before them. Their eyes showed a trace of mockery. “How lovely, even as zombies, you’re still your children’s parents. Did they raise you so well that you’ve become so plump? Did they raise you as pigs?”

How many lives did these two creatures ruin to become like this?

Looking at their size, they were almost catching up to the ugly monsters of the fourth-level evolution. Unfortunately, they weren’t evolved zombies. They were just physically mutated zombies. They had the same tall and strong appearance but lacked the same strength.

Wen Qingling turned around. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to meet your daughter and give her a surprise.”
