In the city center, in the bar and entertainment alley.

This alley is lined with teahouses, bars, and cafes, all of which are ancient wooden structures with upturned eaves and latticed windows. Walking into it feels like stepping into the living space of ancient people, except that the food is a bit more modern.

In the morning, the zombie army controlled by the Zombie King occupied this area.

At the alley entrance, Shenhe and Jiang Yan stood side by side at the front, with hundreds of heavily armed soldiers behind them.

The long street was deserted, not a single zombie in sight. The wind swept across the ground, carrying scraps of paper and plastic bags, which swirled and disappeared into the alleyway. It was eerily quiet.

But only Shenhe and Jiang Yan, both superhumans, could sense the terror lurking in this alley!

The two exchanged a glance, and the image zoomed in on the sky!

In the shops on both sides of the street and in the independent courtyards of guesthouses, zombies with hideous faces and mutilated bodies crowded together, silently filling every available space!

They were completely still, their bodies motionless!

It didn't even let out a roar!

Just like the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum!

And this is just the area on the outskirts of the city center!

Shenhe nodded to Jiang Yan, who understood. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she turned to look at Liu Ming.

"Notify the helicopter formation outside the city to take off!"

"yes!"

Liu Ming gave a serious salute. If the two superhumans said they were going to use an airplane, then it must be something big.

Outside the city, more than a dozen helicopters received orders, and the pilots started their aircraft, the propellers began to spin!

The powerful winds whipped up large amounts of yellow dust.

The machine gunners, who had been strolling around the plane, ran into their helicopters against the strong wind.

A few minutes later.

One helicopter after another took off in an orderly fashion.

The system map in Shenhe showed that the place in front of them was empty except for the streets, all the buildings were full of zombies. The streets were blank, and the two sides of the streets were covered with thick lines of red dots, as if the houses on both sides were covered with huge red cloths.

He originally planned to take advantage of the military's rapid weapon upgrades, but instead encountered the Corpse King.

There's no way around it. Although he has warped values ​​and is selfish, he still has a bottom line. A man's word is his bond, so I'll have to keep working as a nanny for the next couple of days.

"Buzzing!"

The roar of a helicopter engine came from behind.

As the Shenhe River turned back, small blue dots appeared above the city wall, growing larger and larger.

He turned to Jiang Yan and instructed her, "The plane is here. Let's begin. It might be a tough battle. Be careful and prioritize your life."

Because I was just bullied by being pinned against the window.

Jiang Yan was still angry. If it weren't for official business, she wouldn't have wanted to talk to Shenhe for the next few days.

No one can understand her helplessness at that time!

However, upon arriving at the scene, she found the situation to be a hundred times more serious than in the morning, and she suppressed all her whims.

Hearing Shenhe's concern, she subconsciously raised her chin and said, "Don't worry, just don't hold me back."

After saying that, he lowered his head again and continued,

"Be careful too. Don't be reckless like before. There are definitely a lot of zombies. If it gets dangerous, just teleport away instantly like you did this morning. Don't worry about me."

After speaking, Jiang Yan turned around and looked at the soldiers who depended on each other for survival, and the soldiers looked at her firmly.

"We have confirmed that there are at least tens of thousands of zombies entrenched in the city center, and they are controlled by the Zombie King, making them far more troublesome than ordinary zombies."

Her voice was clear and powerful, sweeping across every young face, "Everyone must be careful! I hope that after the battle, those standing here are all of us."

"Salute!" Liu Ming suddenly shouted!

"Whoosh—!"

A hundred arms were raised in unison, the sound of fabric rubbing together echoing through the empty alley, perfectly synchronized and utterly silent.

In this moment, Shenhe and Jiang Yan also saluted at the same time!

"Inspect firearms, weapons, and ammunition!"

"All loaded! Ready for battle!"

All the soldiers pulled back their rifle bolts in unison, their eyes fixed straight ahead, fearless, for the country, for the people, for themselves, and for the future!

They had long since disregarded life and death!

Shenhe and Jiang Yan exchanged a glance and waved at the street ahead.

Upon seeing the two men's hand gestures, the soldiers behind them formed a battle formation and walked past them with their guns at the ready!

Even though Shenhe and the others said it was very dangerous, these soldiers of the people did not hesitate at all.

They only wanted to conquer the city as soon as possible, to secure a safe place for humanity to settle down.

Shenhe stared intently at the system map.

really!

The city center seemed to be a forbidden zone for the Zombie King; as long as they didn't cross the street, the zombies in the houses seemed to be dormant.

And now, as soon as those soldiers crossed the center line of the street, all the zombies in those houses reacted!

In his mental perception, the zombies with their heads hanging down almost simultaneously raised their slightly rotting faces, their turbid eyes all turning towards the street.

And then... that was it?

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Shenhe was a little confused. Shouldn't they rush out of the room, onto the street, and bite anyone they see?

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Jiang Yan noticed his expression was off and immediately stepped forward to ask in a low voice.

Shenhe frowned and pointed at the soldiers in front of him.

"When they passed by, I felt that the zombies in the houses on both sides raised their heads, but they didn't rush out or even move. Their behavior was abnormal."

Jiang Yan was also confused. They had spotted people but weren't attacking. What did they want?

"I'll go take a look!"

Jiang Yan thought for a moment, then quickly ran over to catch up with the soldiers at the front, waved to them, and made them stop temporarily amidst their puzzled gazes. Then she led a few soldiers to the entrance of the first shop.

Shenhe didn't stop them and followed.

Foggy Bar

Green tiles and flying eaves stand along the street, and the wooden lintels are simple and heavy, with a brown wood plaque hanging in the center.

The four characters "Misty Bar" are written in ink, with simple pinyin below, creating a natural and elegant ancient charm.

A string of vermilion square lanterns hangs haphazardly in front of the door, the shop's name printed in small characters on the lantern surface, covered in dust, swaying gently in the wind.

Below the steps, two pots of chrysanthemums, having been neglected and withered to a yellowish-brown color, lay scattered on the ground.

The red flag on the eaves had faded to a white, curly color, and the green plants climbing the wall beside it had withered into a dark brown.

A wooden chair lay overturned against the wall, and a small flower cart sat askew on the bluestone slab, its wheels long gone.

At this moment, the dark brown wooden door was tightly closed, and a faint smell of decay was slowly seeping out from the cracks in the door.

Jiang Yan walked up the black stone steps to the door. Without making a move, she leaned down slightly, pressed her cheek against the cold wooden door, and listened intently to any sounds.

Silence reigned behind the door!

There wasn't even the unconscious, faint gurgling sound of a zombie; it was as if there was just an empty room behind the door.

But the stench grew stronger the closer one got, telling those who came after that there was more to it than met the eye.

Jiang Yan straightened up and reached out to push the wooden door.
