The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1251 What Attracts Them?

"Don't panic, slowly retreat back towards the village!"

While directing the others, Zhang Su continued to attack the zombies.

A strange scene unfolded around them: the zombies that had been howling and threatening to devour people gradually fell silent as the light appeared, standing motionless. They were even stabbed without a reaction, collapsing and dying instantly...

"Retreat, retreat."

"Hurry, run to the village!"

After hearing the leader's words, everyone spread them around without a doubt, because the surroundings instantly became quiet. There were no more strange shouts, no more chaotic footsteps or patting. If you didn't open your eyes, the zombies seemed to have disappeared in an instant.

Although I don't know why this is happening, the main task now is to maintain a safe distance.

Along the four or five hundred-meter-long front, people began to retreat with great anxiety. Some people closed their eyes and covered them with their hands, while others covered their faces with their hats.

At that moment, many people seemed to understand why the leader was wearing sunglasses—how prescient he was…

Faced with an unprecedented situation, everyone remained calm and composed, and no problems arose.

"Damn it, what a great opportunity to kill zombies, fire a flashbang, fuck it."

"Stop talking nonsense and get inside! Everyone's going blind!"

"Hey, why are you stepping on me? Damn it, you even bumped into me..."

The battle was not far from the village, and soon someone reached the house.

"Program, where are you going?"

Seeing the program standing blankly in the crowd, Zhang Su rushed over and shook its shoulders. Its two green eyes shone brightly even in the intense light.

"Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh!"

The program snapped out of its daze and, somewhat anxiously, gestured at the three giant zombies.

"Huh? They were affected too?"

Zhang Su understood the program's meaning; it was to retreat with the three black bears, but they completely disobeyed orders, or rather, they directly severed the connection between Zhang Su and the three giant zombies!
"Never mind them, let's go!"

Zhang Su made a quick decision, grabbing the program and running into the village; the light in the sky was too strange.

Just as he was about to return to the village, the ambient light began to decrease rapidly again!

It lights up quickly enough, and it dims just as fast, it only takes a few seconds...

In less than ten seconds, the light in the sky was drained away, as if the sunset had been sped up a hundred times!
The thick pillar of light in the direction of Qincheng Port also disappeared, and the whole world returned to darkness, which was even darker than before, according to people's perception!
???

Everyone was stunned, completely bewildered by what was happening before their eyes. Those who had just entered the house were at a loss, wondering whether to go out or stay inside.

dilemma.

Rustling, crunching.

Before Zhang Su even entered the house, his ears twitched as he heard footsteps behind him. There were only zombies behind him, so it was obvious who had made the sound!

Turning around abruptly, a bizarre scene unfolded before my eyes: the zombies that had been standing still had all turned around and were running back the way they came...

They just ran away so decisively, without any hesitation!
The speed wasn't too fast, about the pace of a normal human walking briskly.

Zhang Su stood quietly outside the village, watching the zombies retreat like a tide in the distance. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and his thoughts couldn't keep up with the reality.

"Programmer, do you have any special feelings?" Zhang Su asked the program as the zombies returned to the south bank of the Haihe River.

"Uh-huh."

The program tapped its head with its finger, as if to tell it to think, and a few seconds later it began to gesture and speak.

Is something calling you to leave?

Zhang Su easily understood the meaning of the program.

The program nodded vigorously, pointing its index finger to the sky and waving it from side to side. The meaning couldn't be clearer: that thing was in the sky!
Zhang Su rubbed his nose, looked up at the sky, and returned to his former self, but he knew that there must be something in the sky that humans could not understand!

"Uh-huh?"

The program saw Zhang Su looking up and ignoring it, pointing to the three giant zombies in front of him. The three "puppets" he was so concerned about did not leave with the other zombies, but remained standing there in a daze.

"Don't rush, observe the situation first!"

After Zhang Su finished explaining the procedure, he took out a walkie-talkie: "The zombies have retreated, the danger is temporarily over! Everyone stay inside the house and don't make any unnecessary movements, noises, or lights."

The zombies retreated on their own initiative. Although this phenomenon was eerie, the battle had indeed come to an end. Zhang Su did not want to bring those ghostly things back due to other factors!
He knew that the zombies' departure didn't mean they disappeared, but he couldn't give up this rare peace.

The remaining zombies on the north bank of the Haihe River numbered less than 30,000. Before long, they returned to the formation, fitting seamlessly into the ranks like Tetris blocks.

Once the zombies returned to their positions, the entire formation turned around and then headed west.

Chirp, chirp.

A considerable number of zombies were wiped out, leaving approximately 250,000 remaining. The zombies marched in unison, their friction sounds shaking the surrounding area, and dust billowed more than half a meter high, reaching above the waist of ordinary zombies—meaning they didn't need to breathe, otherwise they would have choked to death.

The coordinated movement of over 200,000 zombies was quite spectacular, but unfortunately only Zhang Su was able to witness it; the rest were completely oblivious.

"They went west. Is there something there that attracts them?"

Zhang Su watched the zombie formation recede into the distance, his eyes filled with confusion. He gazed westward and could sense a faint glimmer of light in the sky there, at least a hundred kilometers away, or perhaps even further.

Just as all the zombies turned and headed west to leave, Liu Tianji's intermittent and urgent voice came through Zhang Su's walkie-talkie.

"Brother Su, Brother Su, something terrible has happened! The ice is melting and vaporizing rapidly, the zombies are probably about to break free!"

Zhang Su's eyes flashed briefly after hearing this, and he replied, "Don't rush, the situation with the zombies is a bit strange. You two go to the east side of the zombie horde first and observe which way the zombies go after they break free!"

"East? Okay, I got it."

Liu Tianji readily agreed and drove quickly towards the Shanhai District.

"This temperature..."

After ending the call, Zhang Su spread his palms out and waved them in the air twice. His body contained icy energy, but that did not mean he was unable to sense temperature. He noticed a change in temperature after the sky darkened!

Unfortunately, it is not developing in a direction suitable for humans, and the temperature is dropping further.

"Everyone come out! The zombies are gone. Turn on the lights!"

Zhang Su shouted, and then he saw faint lights coming from behind some courtyards and windows. Figures walked out of the village, their faces filled with confusion.

Nearly a thousand combatants gathered in front of Zhang Su. The six words "the zombies are gone" were too abstract. They were easy to understand, but hard to imagine.
