The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1247 Let the flames purify everything?
Like a turn-based game, when the human side sends out fire-breathing zombies, the formation on the other side of the river stops moving.

It was just right to stay still. Zhang Su led the fire-breathing zombie to the north bank of the Haihe River, then took the black cube in his hand and rubbed it for a moment.

The explosion of the Ascension Essence has lost its effect on zombies, leaving only one type of weapon for mass destruction: fire!
"It's finally here! Let the flames purify everything!"

"You still have the mind to recite your lines? You're really carefree."

"Stop arguing and get ready for battle!"

Everyone could see that Chief Zhang was planning to set the zombies on fire!
Everyone present knew perfectly well what flames meant to zombies: they were a death warrant, but also a super stimulant. Once ignited, they would die in a short time, but they would unleash their most brilliant fighting power!

Zhang Su was naturally aware of this, so he found it difficult to make up his mind. After a moment's hesitation, he finally let out a long breath and gently tossed the black crystal in his hand towards the fire-breathing zombie.

With a snap, the program-controlled fire-breathing zombie raised its hand to catch the black crystal, its slightly stiff fingers playing with it for a moment before looking at Zhang Su and awaiting orders.

"Program, start!"

The command was given, and the program turned to look at the dark mass of corpses on the opposite bank, which was four or five hundred meters away, but that was not a problem at all.

Puff, puff puff.

As usual, the program practiced the feeling of breathing fire, then tilted its head slightly, placed the black crystal in front of its mouth, and the flame patterns on its face instantly shone brightly as red flames shot towards the black crystal!
A dark blue wall of fire appeared in the air, then traced an arc before landing and crossing the hundred-meter-wide Chuhai River, rushing towards the horde of corpses at an extremely fast speed.

The scorching air swept around, and all the combatants couldn't help but take several steps back. Such a spectacular scene gave many people goosebumps on their arms.

The roaring flames emitted a unique white noise, a sound of boiling energy. The dark blue flames stretched for thousands of meters, instantly igniting the weeds, tree trunks, and zombie corpses on the wasteland, causing them to burst into orange-red flowers.

The energy that originally belonged to the camp was thus reduced to ashes.

Facing the surging waves of fire, the zombies seemed oblivious, standing listlessly in the wilderness, like evil spirits waiting to be purified.

The distance of several hundred meters was covered in just a few seconds. The wall of fire quickly struck the zombies at the front, and as everyone had imagined, the zombies were instantly ignited, like hungry ghosts from hell on earth.

A creaking sound rang out, the sound of teeth clenching and weapons being gripped tightly. It was impossible not to be afraid of the zombie's final "bloom of life."

Fortunately, the other imagined scene did not occur. The burning zombie remained standing motionless, as if it had lost its life and turned into a burning torch...

The fire wall was blocked from hitting the horde of zombies, but it continued to roll forward in other areas. With the current strength of the fire-breathing zombies, plus the amplification from the black crystal, it could easily spread for several kilometers!

"Finally... no, tsk!"

Just as Zhang Su was feeling a sense of relief as rows of zombies were engulfed by flames, a beam of light descended from the sky and shattered his emotions.

The flames were incredibly fast, devouring over 50,000 zombies in the blink of an eye. But just then, that damned beam of light descended from the sky once more!
The silvery-white beam of light, like a straw, plunged directly into the flames, instantly extinguishing the dark blue fire that blanketed the mountains and fields, leaving the silvery-white beam tinged with a pale blue hue…

Meanwhile, the flames on the ignited zombies gradually died down, while the unignited zombies began to retreat, moving away from their kin who had been set ablaze.

In the blink of an eye, the flames of tens of thousands of zombies were extinguished, leaving behind thick white smoke that looked like chimneys.

???

People stared in disbelief as the beam suction tube sucked away the flames like drinking milk tea. Visually, this scene was more spectacular than the overwhelming flames, completely overturning human cognition.

The program was also confused and continued to output power, but no matter how hard it tried, the flames could not get past the beam of light. The wall of fire, which was more than a thousand meters wide, was reduced to a beam of light as thick as a water tank.

The program was unwilling to accept this; was this the strongest force it controlled that was being blocked like this?

*Whoosh*

The fire-breathing zombie's arms were suddenly engulfed in flames, flame patterns lit up its chest, its energy core spun wildly, and it adjusted the angle of the black crystal in its hand. In an instant, the humans who had retreated more than ten meters felt a wave of intense heat wash over them again; the dark blue flames had turned a pale purple, both alluring and dangerous.

Unfortunately, no matter how high the temperature of the flames rose, they could not break through the beam of light, and the beam of light falling from the sky slowly turned pale purple...

Just when everyone thought it was over, the beam of light that had descended from the sky suddenly began to move toward the Chuhai River. The speed was not fast, about the same as a normal person walking briskly.

As the beam of light moved, the wall of fire was gradually pushed back, and even the flames burning on the zombie corpses on the ground dimmed, leaving not a trace behind!
"Stop, program, stop!"

A sense of foreboding welled up in Zhang Su's heart. He had an absurd idea: the beam of light had reached the source of the fire energy and was trying to drain the fire-breathing zombie dry!
The program obeyed orders immediately, shutting its mouth and extinguishing the flame. A burst of sparks exploded from its mouth, engulfing its entire head – incredibly cool.

As the flames disappeared, the beam of light vanished without a second, disappearing into the world as if it had never existed.

The zombies that remained motionless and emitting white steam on the desolate ground were left behind, recording what had just happened. These zombies seemed to have lost their lives after being burned by the flames, and remained motionless.

grunt.

A sound of swallowing saliva was heard.

Are flames useless?
it works.

Killed at least forty to fifty thousand zombies.

But this is far from the result everyone wanted!

"Why didn't the zombies that were set on fire just now rush over?"

"Can't you ever hope for something good?!"

"I guess the flames didn't kill the zombies directly, but they probably severed the connection between the zombies and the mastermind behind them. Since the zombies didn't have their own consciousness, they were rendered useless."

Hearing his companions' discussion, Zhou Haotian shared his own opinion.

Rustle, rustle.

The human turn ended, and before they could even summarize their experience, the horde of zombies began to move, bypassing their fellow zombies that were emitting white smoke, and arrived at a position near the river leading to the sea. It was clear that they had no intention of giving up at all!
"Brothers, that light in the sky can't do anything to us. It can only control zombies. Stay alert, we will be the ultimate victors in this battle!"

Taking advantage of the discussion, Zhang Su raised his arm and gave a rallying cry to boost morale.

In fact, what everyone sees is similar: the beam can counteract the effects of zombie protection technology, but it cannot directly harm humans!

It's as if it's telling humanity that trying to use their technology to deal with them won't work; show us your own true abilities!
However, there are exceptions to this.

The program is the biggest exception!

The program controlled the fire-breathing zombie back to the box, then switched back to Black Bear, the Big Guy Battle Zombie, and Zero Three. It did not control the battle body because the combat range of a single battle body was too narrow.

As humanity rallied, the zombies had already regrouped.

Are they rehearsing for a military parade here?

"Hey, hey, holy crap, no, this..."

"I don't know if we can hold on!"

He tried to lighten the tension with a joke, but before he could finish speaking, a 100,000-strong zombie horde suddenly moved. Clearly, the consciousness controlling the zombie horde had tested humanity's strength and was about to launch a fierce attack!
