The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1245 The righteous faction has run out of tricks, the villains make their grand entrance.
The members of the Yama Legion looked at each other, completely bewildered by what had just happened. They didn't know whether the beam of light had annihilated the effects of the explosion or absorbed its energy...

"Was that beam of light just now the same as the one over at the port?"

"Boom, the explosion sound... is gone? The shockwave is gone too, what, what happened?"

"Don't fucking ask me, what the hell would I know!"

Someone instinctively asked their companion, but who could understand such a thing?
Zhang Su jumped onto the nearest rooftop and looked out at the zombie formation. He could see a huge crater in the middle of the horde, and the zombies that were enveloped in purple light had all disappeared!

The explosion of the three grapes took away about 20,000 to 30,000 zombies. It can't be said that it had no effect, but it was far from what was expected. He expected to kill at least 100,000 zombies, or even more!
Zhang Su looked up at the clouds, which were rolling with silvery-white light. They contained an incomprehensible power. They did not stop the explosion of the Ascension Essence, but they could neutralize all the subsequent effects at the moment of the explosion!
A mysterious force beyond our comprehension, or what we might call...technology.

Whatever it is, this is not good news!

People stood bewildered on the north side of the village, the horde of corpses still standing silently in the wilderness, indifferent to the explosions happening around them.

"What was that thing? It was terrifying!"

"If you have such powerful methods, why not just crush us? Why bother with all this trouble!"

"What will it take for you to let us go, God!"

Hearing the growing negativity among the crowd, Zhang Su took off his glasses, his heart surging with fighting spirit, and shouted aloud.

"Everyone, although that mysterious beam of light suppressed the sound and shockwave of the explosion, the explosion itself still dealt a devastating blow to the horde of zombies, killing more than 30,000 of them!"

"Don't panic, everyone. That force isn't as powerful as we imagine; otherwise, it could have wiped us out directly. Why go through all this trouble? This is just a stumbling block on the road to final victory. Let's work together to overcome it!"

The impassioned speech, the logical analysis, and the infectious energy of the "emotional release source" acted like a shot of adrenaline, invigorating everyone's spirits.

"How can a battle between races be so simple? If we lose, we die; if we win, we can live a happy and peaceful life. Brothers, keep up with Chief Zhang's pace!"

Zhao Dezhu raised his arm and shouted, and Yu Wen, who was influenced by him, grew more than he did in terms of his understanding of human relationships.

"Since the explosion was effective, let's repeat what we just did. Luezi, come on!"

Zhang Su jumped off the roof and, as if by magic, pulled another remote-controlled bomb from his backpack, waved it at everyone, and said, "I have as many of these bombs as you want!"

Only Zhang Su and Fu Weijun truly knew the amount of Venom stockpile. Even Xie Yanshan only knew a portion of it. At this moment, whatever Zhang Su said was law!
Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed, "What the hell? There are as many bombs as we can carry away more than 30,000 zombies at once! What else is there to say? This is a sure win!"

That's human psychology; when stable conditions appear, people immediately feel at ease.

"Bombardiers on!"

Wu Lue shouted loudly, took the bomb, and hung it on the drone.

With a buzz, the drone took off and headed towards the horde of zombies.

Wu Lue pinpointed the location, calculated the range of the explosion circle, and tried to eliminate the zombies as densely as possible.

"Everyone take cover, we're detonating in three seconds!"

Seeing everyone peering out, and some even climbing onto the roof to watch the explosion, Zhang Su probably thought that since there was no shockwave, they weren't afraid of getting hurt. But what if the light "mistakenly" hit the target?
Upon hearing this, everyone dared not delay and quickly hid behind the house. "Explode!"

Zhang Su pressed the detonation button.

This time was different from before. The purple orb of light did not arrive as expected. Instead, the beam of light in the sky rushed toward the detonation point with lightning speed!

In Zhang Su's perception, the appearance of that beam of light was almost simultaneous with the appearance of his finger.

Unfortunately, the beam not only did not make a mistake, but the previous explosion actually accelerated its reaction speed.

……

No one knew about the explosion. They only heard the leader shout, followed by a beam of light that flashed across the sky and disappeared. Only then did they realize that there might have been an explosion, but it had been extinguished before it could explode!
Everyone was shocked, and the sense of security they had just gained from the unlimited bombs vanished almost entirely.

Zhang Suzhen hadn't expected this outcome. Reluctantly, he jumped back onto the roof and looked into the distance. He could see a black circular pit in the horde of corpses, though it was very small, probably no more than three meters in size!

"It's too fast, both in terms of reaction speed and execution speed, it's just too fast..."

I gained a very intuitive understanding of the speed of light. The bomb did not fail to explode; rather, it was immobilized in place the instant it was about to detonate.

The beam of light possesses special abilities, but it cannot directly harm humans; otherwise, a single beam of light would have caused them to die peacefully.

The powerful weapon has lost its effectiveness, at least in eliminating zombies.

Zhang Su began to consider other methods. Currently, Tianma Island only has one trump card left: fire-breathing zombies.

He wasn't sure how these zombies would react after being burned by the flames, especially the two emotional zombies mixed in with the horde. If they exploded, it would definitely trigger a violent reaction, perhaps causing everyone to lose sleep like the four members of Cui Lengxuan...

When the "good guys" run out of tricks, the villains will make their grand entrance with a smirk, often shouting the classic line: "That's all there is to it!"

Before humanity could come up with an effective solution, the horde of zombies moved!
There were twice as many zombies as the third time, but that wasn't the key point. The key point was that the zombies this time had redder eyes and were less affected by the strong magnetic field. They only took a few steps forward before they started running!

Tens of thousands of zombies charged forward, their numbers far exceeding those before. They carried a bloodthirsty aura, and dust billowed under the silvery-white light, seemingly tinged with blood. The heavy, rhythmic footsteps pounded on the hearts of the combatants.

Among the nearly one thousand people near Xidaying Village, only the entire Yanluo Legion remained completely calm. This composure stemmed not only from their experience but also from their own strength.

Even among the elite troops of Tianma Island, some showed a faint fear on their faces.

This is a basic human instinct; it can only be overcome, not avoided, otherwise it would be considered unhealthy...

"The brothers who have survived to this day have all seen their share of storms! Our regular training is all about surviving in war, getting back to shore, and using the fortifications to kill zombies!"

Before the crowd could erupt in anger, Zhang Su preemptively issued the order: the village houses could also serve as a barrier against zombies, but it wasn't time to use them yet. The defensive structures along the river could still be effective, and strategic depth needed to be reserved!
Deng Deng Deng!
As soon as the words were spoken, the first to rush out were not people, but Black Bear, the giant war zombie, and Zero Three, along with their controller, the program.

The human troops followed closely behind. By the time they passed through Xidaying Village and rushed back to the fortifications, the fastest group of zombies had already climbed onto the north bank of the Chuhai River.
