Alien Dust

Chapter 480 Three Corpse Kings?

……

In the vast desert, a huge mountain of corpses was rolling like a tide and crashing into a steel wall at an alarming speed.

As the tide of zombies approached the steel wall, black gun barrels immediately extended from the metal bricks in the wall, and angry smoke instantly spewed out of the barrels!

The hot shells fell, and the dense rain of bullets turned the corpses that surged out of the desert into meat paste. However, the corpses continued to fall one after another. They seemed to smell the breath of countless living people behind this steel wall. For these creatures wandering in the desert, it was the most sweet source of water. They were hungry and thirsty, they were crazy...

A wave of zombies finally stopped, and the entire steel wall turned a fiery red due to overheating. From a distance, it looked like a giant fire dragon lying in the wasteland desert. The endless zombies were no different from sandworms.

On top of the city walls, there are teams of warriors in silver armor patrolling. Whenever some mutated zombies fly over, these oasis warriors will decisively take action and kill them outside the city walls, ensuring that the oasis city behind the steel walls will not be harassed by any zombies.

On the western mountains, Wu Hen, Guo Hong and Lu Xian had just escaped from the tide of zombies and had a rare opportunity to rest.

"That's the Oasis City over there. Even the terrifying zombie tide would find it difficult to cross the majestic wall of the Oasis." Guo Hong said, pointing to the mountains in the distance that were flashing red light.

Wu Hen looked carefully and found that the mountain was flat and majestic, like a steel fortress rising from the ground. Even for alien creatures that had evolved to the top of the pyramid, it would not be easy to break through.

"But what should we do now? There are wave after wave of zombies in between us. We are like standing on an isolated island surrounded by zombies. We can't even retreat." Lu Xian said.

Wu Hen also relied on his eighth-level life force, and when he saw a wave of zombies coming, he planned to test his firepower.

Who would have thought that the zombies would appear in wave after wave, forming an extremely exaggerated tide of zombies. The area within a radius of ten kilometers was filled with these zombies that did not require any energy supply.

Before long, the three of them were surrounded by zombies and completely lost their way.

There were ugly, disgusting, and terrifying zombies everywhere, and they had no idea where they were in the zombie area with a radius of ten kilometers. Even after they managed to get out of a kilometer or two, they would start to wonder if they were crossing a zombie tide and had to change direction again...

So, they kept circling in the tide of zombies in a radius of ten kilometers, and could never find the thinnest piece of the wall of zombies. The tide of zombies also kept moving. They were like wild beasts on the African savannah. After eating all the edible resources in an area, they immediately moved on to other places.

This made the situation even more difficult for the three people trapped in the tide of zombies.

The only thing to be thankful for is that although the number of zombies in this group is huge, their evolution level is not high. Otherwise, during the time they fell into the zombie tide, they would have been eaten to the point where not even a bone would be left.

Lu Xian, who was in charge of observation, finally discovered a stone mountain standing in the tide of zombies.

In order to determine the direction to escape from the tide of zombies, they climbed to the top of the mountain as soon as possible.

The zombies don't like climbing mountains. They will walk on flat ground if there is one, and they will walk downhill if there is one. So this mountain can be said to be the only quiet place among the screen full of zombies. It gives Wu Hen and the other two time to replenish ammunition, cool down their weapons, and catch their breath.

"Fortunately, we are not far from Oasis City. We didn't expect that we would be trapped in the tide of zombies for several days, and this tide of zombies actually pushed us to Oasis City." Guo Hong said.

"Then you should thank me for taking you on this ride." Wu Hen chuckled, trying to use his own humor to cover up his previous extremely conceited behavior.

Guo Hong and Lu Xian had to admit that Wu Hen's fighting ability was really strong. He took them through countless rounds of zombie tides and even became familiar with some of the elite zombies in the zombie tide, and he was still alive and well.

If it were any other gold digger, they would have shot themselves the moment they were engulfed by the tide of zombies. Otherwise, they would have to watch helplessly as every part of their body was stuffed into the zombies' mouths and chewed.

"Lu Xian, you must determine the direction. We must reach the oasis before dusk." Guo Hong said.

"We won't make a mistake this time. We have been in the vortex of the corpse tide before. The force of the vortex made it difficult for us to get into the air." Lu Xian said.

The tide of zombies is very scary. It doesn't mean that you can safely watch these zombies that can only run wild on land by taking a helicopter.

When there are enough zombies, an invisible vortex force will form in this area. This vortex force will stir up the space above their heads and roll them under the earth.

All flying equipment, all flying creatures, and even a meteor that accidentally passes through the sky will be affected by the vortex force of the corpse tide and fall.

"There is not much condensate left. If our weapons are overloaded by heat again, we may only be able to fight these zombies with bare hands." Guo Hong checked his equipment and said with a frown.

"So the weapons of the Black Butler Corps are still very advanced, and they don't need to worry too much about the problem of heat overload." Wu Hen said.

"Yes, when we get to Oasis City, our weapons will be able to evolve a lot and have more super-powered properties." Lu Xian said. "We have obtained tons of mutation condensate, which is really rich."

"It's almost time. Let's go. We need to reach Oasis City before dusk. I also want to take a shower. The smell we have now is not much better than these corpses." Wu Hen said.

Guo Hong and Lu Xian nodded in tacit understanding. They really had no chance to tidy up their appearance along the way.

……

On the oasis wall, a man in an iron officer's coat was standing on the edge of the wall, observing the movement of the zombie tide with a telescope.

"Sir, the three zombie kings on the western mountain have set off. I'm afraid they will arrive before dusk. This is the most violent wave of zombie attacks we will face today!"

At this moment, the man in the iron officer's coat immediately turned the telescope towards the mountain, and indeed found that the three human-like corpse kings on the mountain had disappeared.

"There is a Corpse King???" a woman's voice came from the side. She was wearing a holy priest robe, had a graceful figure, and wore a crown of light on her head.

"Yes, Princess Taiya, although the weapons in our Oasis City are advanced, they are lacking in dealing with the Corpse Kings, and may even fail to work. I'm afraid we'll need your assistance to deal with the three Dusk Corpse Kings." said the Iron Officer Coat Commander.

"How do you judge?" asked the woman called Taiya.

"Your Highness, we have been fighting this huge wave of zombies for several days. They are not as stupid as the zombies we encountered before. They even know how to take advantage of the time when our weapons are overloaded with heat to launch a more fierce attack. They also know how to let those zombies whose skin and flesh have mutated to be very strong rush to the front. It's like an army of zombies that have mastered certain war strategies. And the only one who can command the zombies and control their behavior is the zombie king... Not long ago, our people observed three figures on the western mountain peak. They stood on a high place, and the zombies under their feet seemed to be supporting their large army. Combined with the previous zombie attack methods, we concluded that the three humanoid creatures on the high place were the zombie kings!" The commander of the Iron Officers said very affirmatively.

"Your analysis makes sense. I haven't seen the Corpse King for many years. In that case, I should indeed take action." Taya nodded.

Her eyes couldn't help but sweep over the huge tide of corpses. The hideousness and ugliness turned into a sense of dense fear, which made the trainee temple concubine feel physically uncomfortable. She suppressed the hairy feeling all over her body and looked firmly at the distant mountains.

To deal with the corpse king, you can...

No matter how powerful and majestic this corpse king is.

But when dealing with the tide of zombies, she felt like she would faint.

She has trypophobia!
Standing on this steel wall, she was already retching, not to mention that she would have to go out and fight them later.

"I...I only deal with the Corpse King." Taya said.

"Don't worry, we will clean up those little bastards." As the Iron Officer Commander said this, he shouldered the super-cannon and blasted towards the dense tide of zombies below.

"Sir, those three zombie kings are extremely ferocious. They even attack their own zombie soldiers in order to shock the entire zombie tide!" the observer said immediately.

The air was filled with corpse fumes, and even with sophisticated instruments they were unable to see clearly the scene in the distance.

They just saw that the way the three zombie kings supervised the battle was quite cruel. After killing a large number of lazy zombies, the speed of the entire zombie tide increased, and they were rushing towards the oasis city wall in one go.

The tide of zombies was rolling in, and some of the zombies had evolved wings. Although their flying height was restricted by the whirlpool of the zombie tide, they did not need to climb up the wall at all, and could directly attack the oasis warriors above!
The Oasis warriors also immediately threw themselves into the fight. Most of them were like fully armed mecha knights, and they used cold weapons that had been transformed by technology.

The biggest advantage of cold weapons is that there is no need to worry about ammunition and cooling. These Oasis Knights are mainly dealing with endless waves of zombies. As long as they have enough physical strength, they can keep fighting.

There were also quite a few warriors using hot weapons. Most of them were shooting from the ramparts on the city walls. The ramparts were like an iron cage that locked them inside, with the muzzles of their guns sticking out from the gaps in the ramparts. Even if they were suddenly surrounded by zombies, they wouldn't have to worry about being eaten by the zombies.

"Your Highness Taiya, the zombie kings are approaching. We cannot let them get close to the wall, otherwise our city's defense weapons will be ineffective on a large scale." said the Iron Officer Commander.

Temple Princess Taiya bit her red lips and had to wave her hand to signal.

Soon, a group of knights in green and gold armor appeared around her. Each of them was wrapped in a powerful aura and fell into the crowd of zombies, forcefully tearing a gap in the tide of zombies.

After the gap appeared, Temple Concubine Taiya finally fell down under the protection of other Green-Gold Knights. Although she half-closed her eyes, the corpses could not get close to her. They were all saved by her Green-Gold Knights. She only needed to endure the nausea and move forward. After purifying and burning the corpse king, she could go back and soak in the warm petal temple pool...
