Chapter 192: Large Tide of Zombies and Rebuilding Civilization

After hearing these words, Lu Yan finally became interested.

Lu Yan ordered the God of the Abyss in the Soul Banner to temporarily close the space rift, and he put away the Soul Banner and slowly descended from the sky.

On the ground, a team of elite scavengers stared at Lu Yan in awe, not daring to even breathe.

Even the young extraordinary person who had previously questioned the legend of the underworld no longer had any rebellious thoughts at this moment.

If before seeing Lu Yan's arrival, they could still attribute the clearing of the ruined city to a team of extraordinary people with special abilities.

But when they saw Lu Yan take action, they completely forgot their previous thoughts and had only one thought in their minds.

The underworld has really come!
Thousands of ghost soldiers cleared out millions of zombies, including a ninth-level zombie king.

Such a grand scene was completely beyond the supernatural system in their cognition. It would be more appropriate to call it the mythical underworld.

As Lu Yan landed, everyone finally saw Lu Yan's appearance clearly.

Under the cover of the black robe, the handsome face appeared a little pale, and his dark pupils were as deep as the abyss.

Sometimes he was as warm and gentle as if he was bathing in the sun, making people feel close to him; sometimes, thousands of ghosts and gods appeared in the black fog around him, making him look like the majestic and inviolable god of the underworld.

The two contradictory feelings were all manifested in Lu Yan's body, but with a strange sense of harmony, which made people feel more awe.

"Do you have any news about a large zombie tide?"

Lu Yan's voice sounded slowly, and there was a majesty in his voice that made it difficult for people to have any thoughts of rejection.

Guo Ze took the initiative to take a step forward, bowed to Lu Yan and said:
"Your Majesty, I do have news of a large zombie tide."

A hint of interest appeared in Lu Yan's eyes.

The so-called zombie tide is actually a phenomenon in which a large number of zombies gather into a wave and attack surrounding gathering places.

The zombies in the apocalyptic version are not only in the cities, there are also a large number of zombies outside the wilderness, but they are too scattered and are not as threatening as the zombies gathered in the cities.

Even Lu Yan would not spend the time to clear out the zombies in the wilderness.

But every time a zombie tide breaks out, hundreds of zombie kings will appear in the wilderness, summoning the wandering zombies to attack the gathering places where human survivors live.

When the number reaches a certain scale, the zombies in the surrounding urban clusters will also join the zombie tide, forming a mighty zombie army.

To reach the standard of a large-scale zombie tide, the number of zombies gathered must be at least over three million, and in some cases, there can be tens of millions of zombies gathered.

By then, the wilderness will be covered with zombies everywhere, which will undoubtedly be a perfect hunting opportunity for Lu Yan.

At this time, three months have passed since Lu Yan entered the doomsday version.

Thanks to the oppression brought by the longevity version, Lu Yan hardly wasted every minute and second during these days, frantically harvesting zombies in various urban agglomerations.

Ever since the Soul Banner was promoted from a top-grade magic weapon to a magic weapon, what limits Lu Yan is no longer the speed of harvesting zombies.

With the full power of the Soul Banner, a town of tens of thousands of people can often be cleared in ten minutes at night.

Even in a small city with a population of hundreds of thousands, the zombies are relatively scattered and a carpet cleanup only takes a few hours.

Compared to clearing out the zombies, what really bothered Lu Yan was how to find the city ruins and towns with zombies.

The apocalyptic wasteland is not the Eastern Federation and the United States in the urban version. The distances between cities are extremely far, which means that after Lu Yan cleans up a city and the surrounding towns, he must set out to find the next urban community.

Moreover, the God of Qiongyuan's control over space is not omnipotent. The maximum distance of transmission through space rifts is fifty kilometers. It will be more difficult to deploy the ghost soldiers beyond fifty kilometers.

Every time he arrived in a city, Lu Yan would first choose the place where the most zombies gathered to start practicing.

This is because the more zombies there are, the more moon energy they can absorb at night, and they can breathe in a lot of moon energy.

After the God of Qiongyuan leads the Yin soldiers to clear out all the zombies in the surrounding areas, they will carry out a final cleanup of the entire city and then move on to the next city.

Relying on such a speed of clearing, Lu Yan has cleared more than 30 million zombies and more than 50 urban communities in the past three months.

There are three large urban clusters with a population of nearly one million, and countless small cities with a population of hundreds of thousands. Lu Yan spends most of his time rushing from one urban cluster to the next.

Such a speed is truly terrifying. If the demon giants in the fairy-tale version knew that Lu Yan could kill more than 30 million wandering souls in just three months, and that this action would not bring down heavenly punishment but would instead be rewarded by heaven for his merits, they would surely be so jealous that they would go crazy.

The number of more than 30 million wandering souls is indeed huge, but it is not enough for Lu Yan.

On the one hand, the quality of the zombie souls is too poor, and on the other hand, in order to deal with the next situation of the immortal version blocking the door, Lu Yan must pry open the entire doomsday version within these six months to have a hope of surviving the crisis of the immortal version.

The last time Lu Yan killed more than 0.2 zombies in the apocalyptic version, he only barely reached the version change value of %.

This data does not mean that there are only 0.2 million zombies in the doomsday version, because this % version change value also includes the impact of Lu Yan's elimination of the doomsday by stripping away the wandering souls of zombies.

According to what Lu Yan had discovered during these days, the population of the entire apocalypse version should not be as large as the urban version, but it is at least 3 to billion. Even if only half of them were transformed into zombies, Lu Yan had slaughtered more than million zombies continuously for three months, which would probably be less than % of the total number.

At this rate of progress, it would be extremely difficult to activate the doomsday version, and we would have to resort to more convenient means to harvest the zombies.

However, the apocalyptic version did not have the super-large cities with a population of over 10 million like the previous life. Lu Yan could only search and clean up the urban communities one by one, and the efficiency was far from satisfying him.

It is for this reason that the large-scale zombie wave aroused Lu Yan’s interest.

After looking at Guo Ze, Lu Yan said directly:

"Tell me the location of the large zombie wave, and I can fulfill one condition of yours."

Hearing this, even Guo Ze couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and a moved look appeared on his face.

He has witnessed the horror of Lu Yan's army of ghost soldiers. One of Lu Yan's conditions can be exchanged for a ruined city, or to support him to become the leader of the gathering place.

Thinking of this, even Guo Ze couldn't help but show greed in his eyes.

But then Guo Ze immediately suppressed his greed and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, there is no large-scale zombie outbreak in any area at this stage."

Before he could finish his words, a terrifying pressure came down. Guo Ze, who had already reached the fifth level of transcendence, comparable to the initial stage of foundation building, didn't even have time to resist before his knees fell to the ground.

The dozen or so team members behind Guo Ze also knelt on the ground under the aftermath of this pressure, their faces flushed and looking at Lu Yan nervously.

"Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Lu Yan's calm voice sounded, and with every word that came out, Guo Ze felt the pressure on his soul increase a little. As the voice fell, the terrifying pressure seemed to make Guo Ze's soul likely to collapse at any time.

Guo Ze struggled to say: "Your Majesty, although there is no large-scale zombie outbreak at this stage, I have the ability to guide the birth of a large-scale zombie outbreak."

As soon as these words came out, the heavy pressure suddenly eased, and Guo Ze, who had a chance to catch his breath, quickly explained:

"Your Majesty, I did not conceal this intentionally. I just had to do it out of desperation. I hope you will forgive me!"

Lu Yan glanced at Guo Ze.

"It won't happen again."

When the pressure dissipated, Guo Ze finally stood up from the ground with difficulty.

"Tell me more about guiding a large zombie tide."

"Yes!" Guo Ze tried to adjust his body and said:
"The ability to guide a large zombie tide comes from a fifth-level extraordinary person named Li Kang in the No. 73 gathering place.

Li Kang was originally just an ordinary transcendent, but during an exploration of a ruined city he obtained a lot of precious supplies. He exchanged the supplies for a large amount of sunstones and successfully advanced to the fifth level.

After the promotion, his extraordinary abilities changed. His mental connection could imitate the powerful zombie king to control ordinary zombies.

He once tried to control ordinary wandering zombies in the wilderness and guide them to form a small-scale zombie tide of thousands of zombies. According to him, if used properly, it is even possible to create a super-large zombie tide, but this method cannot be used to attack zombies, so its value is limited. "

"Li Kang?"

When he heard this name, a strange look flashed in Lu Yan's eyes.

In the last few hours of his first experience of the apocalyptic version, Lu Yan encountered a transcendent being named Li Kang while hunting the giant corpse king.

After rescuing Li Kang, the other party paid several sunstones as a reward, and Lu Yan gave the remaining supplies in the storage bag to the other party.

Unexpectedly, by chance, Li Kangzhen made a name for himself with that little bit of supplies.

Guo Ze naturally didn't know what Lu Yan was thinking, so he continued to speak seriously:

"If the Lord really needs it, I can do my best to cooperate with Him to launch a super-large corpse tide that sweeps hundreds of kilometers in radius, allowing the army under His command to harvest souls."

Lu Yan glanced at Guo Ze with a playful look.

"A large zombie tide is not a toy. With your strength, you want to control a large zombie tide. Aren't you afraid that you will end up getting burned?"

Lu Yan's words made Guo Ze's heart tremble, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted:

“This is nothing more than a gamble that puts everything on the line. Once the Supreme God is able to destroy the large-scale zombie tide, there will no longer be any zombie threats around Gathering Point No. 73.

The God displayed his supreme power in front of hundreds of thousands of survivors, erasing the shadow of doomsday hanging over everyone's heads and bringing new life to the entire gathering place No. 73.

By then, this place will become a real safe zone, and the No. 73 gathering place can take this opportunity to rebuild civilization on this doomsday ruins!"
