Chapter 65: Corpse King
Night enveloped the earth, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.
By the dark river, Chen Feilong was lying in the grass, looking at the zombies stumbling over, feeling that his death was coming.
The sniper's marksmanship was very accurate, and he was shot through the left side of the chest by the sniper rifle.
But he was lucky that the shot didn't hit his heart.
Although the heart was not hit, death was already approaching.
If he hadn't been a mutant and had an unusually strong body, he might have died by now.
Still, he doesn't have much time.
Especially when the zombie came over, he seemed to see himself being torn to pieces and devoured.
On the broken arm on the left side, the zombie virus was invading in waves, approaching the wound on the chest.
"call!"
"I don't want to die!"
"Especially if I don't want to be eaten by zombies, I would rather become a zombie than become food."
"I want to live!"
The virus was eroding his brain nerves, and he already felt that his vision was blurred and his body felt a little hot.
The fingernails on my right hand are growing longer.
The body feels gradually stiffer, and the severe pain from the wound does not seem to be that painful anymore.
He has seen other people mutate, and he knows that these are precursors of mutation. Once the mutation is completed, he will be a complete zombie.
But now it seems that he has no chance.
A female zombie had already bent down in front of him.
Her long nails would tear apart her own flesh and blood in the next second, swallowing it into her never-full belly.
At the moment of life and death, Chen Feilong's strong will to survive dominated him, causing him to make his final resistance.
He lost a lot of blood and had no strength left. He could only shout at the zombie.
"Stop it!"
This is his last cry. After this cry, his life may be about to end.
But at this moment, a miracle happened.
This female zombie actually stopped.
Standing there stupidly, watching Chen Feilong become motionless.
Chen Feilong was stunned immediately.
The zombies really didn’t eat me?
He was stunned for a moment, but still felt scared, so he shouted again.
"Back off."
The female zombie staggered back, retreated about three meters, and then stopped again.
The other zombies surrounding him were all standing like wooden piles, showing no signs of attacking Chen Feilong.
"No...what's going on?"
Chen Feilong breathed heavily, and he found to his surprise that the wound no longer hurt.
The strength lost due to bleeding seems to be coming back.
He raised his right hand and touched the broken arm on his left side.
No consciousness.
His heart sank, and he touched his chest again. The wound had scabbed over and was no longer bleeding.
He straightened up and sat up directly.
Looking around, he could clearly see the faces of the zombies around him, and he could even see things in the distance clearly.
"No, no, it's dark now. Why can I see things so clearly?"
Chen Feilong didn't care about anything else, stood up and staggered towards the river.
When he came to the river, he lowered his head and saw his reflection in the water.
It was a hideous-looking zombie.
No!
Not exactly zombies.
His face was pale at the moment, his skin was dry and even cracked, his eyes were red, his hair was messy, and his teeth had fangs. He looked like a zombie.
But his eyes are agile and he can barely make other expressions.
Crying, laughing, and frowning, expressions that would never appear on a zombie's face, can still appear on their face.
But his wounds no longer hurt, and he seemed to have lost most of his body consciousness.
What's more important is that he has not turned into a real zombie-like beast, and his thinking is still that of a human being.
"What have I become?"
Chen Feilong turned around sharply and looked at the dozens of zombies standing behind him.
"Everyone get down here!"
As soon as these words came out, he felt a little pain in his head.
The dozen zombies in front all obeyed his instructions and lay down obediently.
Among the dozen or so people in the middle, some fell down and some were still stunned.
The dozen or so people behind continued to stand like wooden piles.
"I see!"
"This is my ability, I can control other zombies!"
"It's just that this ability is a bit weak, and I can't control many zombies."
"But none of that matters anymore. The most important thing is that I survived, in another form!"
"Ah~~~~!"
"Ah hehe hehe~~~!"
A string of unpleasant laughter burst from his mouth, and Chen Feilong was almost going crazy with joy.
Although he became a zombie, he is not an ordinary zombie, but a zombie king who can control other zombies!
What is the most popular thing in this world?
What is the most powerful force in this world?
Chen Feilong thought that it was a zombie.
It's just that these zombies used to be leaderless, without a unified command, they would just wander in place or stand still.
Therefore, no matter how many there are, sooner or later they will be wiped out. This is also the consensus of all survivors.
But what if the zombies are commanded by someone?
What if a group of mutated zombies were commanded by someone?
By that time, the powerful zombie army will surely sweep across the world!
And he, Chen Feilong, was lucky enough to become such a corpse king by chance.
It's just that his current ability is still very weak and he can only control a few twenty or thirty zombies.
But he has already felt that as he continues to control zombies, this ability will gradually increase.
Chen Feilong laughed wildly in the dark night, almost making his heart and lungs laugh out loud.
"Young man from Tailai Town! Speaking of which, I still want to thank you!"
"It was you who gave birth to the most terrifying existence in the world."
"Maybe I can't deal with you now, but just wait, sooner or later, I will come back to find you!"
Chen Feilong's scarlet eyes flashed dangerously, and he walked towards the group of corpses.
"Follow me!"
As he gave the order, about thirty zombies followed him and left the village.
He will not go back to the prison base. In his current condition, human society may not be able to accommodate him.
He won't stay here, after all, the situation in Tailai Town has left a deep shadow on him.
He wants to stay away from here, go to a safe place, and gather a large number of men.
When he feels that he is strong enough, he will come back and seek revenge from the people in Tailai Town.
He believes that this day will come soon.
In the dark night, more than thirty zombies followed Chen Feilong and left the small village silently.
...
Tang Zheng didn't know what happened in the small village, as it was beyond the scope of his monitoring.
At this moment, Tang Zheng checked the map for a while and found no where to find the uranium mine that He Xue mentioned.
That kind of thing was highly confidential before the end of the world, and it was impossible for ordinary people to know about it.
In addition to being used to make super bombs, some of that stuff may only be found in nuclear power plants.
"Nuclear power plants... It seems that there are none here in western Sichuan. You should be able to find them further north."
Tang Zheng thought about it and decided that if there was a chance, he would still find what his subordinates needed and support them in their scientific research.
There was no uranium mine for the time being, so He Xue made another request, asking Tang Zheng to allocate a truck to her, and he wanted to make a truck bomb.
Tang Zheng had heard of aerial bombs before, but never heard of truck bombs. However, he still agreed to He Xue and purchased a military truck on site and gave it to He Xue to study.
After encouraging his two scientific research geeks, they stopped continuing to get involved and went back to do their research.
After it was over, Tang Zheng glared at Ji Yuntian fiercely.
He has already seen that Guo Yun and He Xue were involved in the instigation, and this boy had a share of the credit.
According to a normal person's thinking, if you do something like this, you should feel guilty.
But Ji Yuntian looked complacent, as if he had done something good and was waiting for praise from the general.
This unusual brain circuit made Tang Zheng helpless.
After finishing this matter, Tang Zheng went back to rest.
Starting from the next day, the battle to clean up Tailai Town continued.
Every day, the soldiers could kill about 4,000 to 5,000 zombies, and Tang Zheng could earn nearly 10,000 gold.
With the cooperation of the medical soldiers, although some soldiers were constantly injured, no real deaths occurred yet.
This clearing operation lasted for five days.
In five days, Tang Zheng accumulated fifty-two thousand gold and a lot of supplies.
Almost half of the zombies in Tailai Town have been eliminated.
In the past five days, Qinzhou's radio channels have been extremely busy.
First, Han Yuhu from the prison base directly asked Tang Zheng on the radio if he had seen any of their people go to Tailai Town.
Tang Zheng's answer was very polite.
"Since I came here, no one has officially visited Tailai Town. If you come here by yourself, I will treat you with courtesy. After all, there is an old saying in Hanyue that when friends come, there is good wine."
Han Yuhu directly responded: "Then what if it's a jackal... what if someone else comes?"
Tang Zheng smiled and replied: "Then I will let them return to the embrace of Mother Earth and nourish the fertile soil where they grew up with their bodies."
Han Yuhu stopped talking, obviously very dissatisfied with Tang Zheng.
But Tang Zheng's attitude was very good, and he was praised by some other base leaders.
Especially after Zhu Laoliu from Mingshui came forward and said that he had purchased a batch of guns from Tang Zheng, everyone agreed that Tang Zheng was a reputable and gentle man.
Orders came in like snowflakes one after another. During this period, almost every leader of the base put aside other things at hand and began to collect gold and silver with all their strength.
In order to obtain guns and ammunition, these leaders almost tried their best. Not only did they remove all the gold and silver in the base, but gold and silver were also listed as the primary target when collecting supplies.
In this atmosphere, the process of the trading conference was accelerated.
On the fifth day after Tang Zheng cleared away the zombies, the date for the trading conference was set.
Chapter completed!
