After chopping off the hideous zombie's head, the man holding the hatchet asked anxiously.
"Son, are you okay?"
The boy shook his head: "Dad, I'm fine."
He glanced at the ragged corpse, which was covered in decay and scars and smelled terrible, just like the other zombies in the city.
But its actions just now...
Suddenly, the boy's eyes stopped on the jade ring on the corpse's wrist. He slowly opened his eyes, and then tears flowed down his face.
"mother……"
The man's whole body was shocked and his expression changed drastically. Before he could say anything, other people's voices came from nearby.
"Stop standing there! Let's go!"
"The imperial army is here, we are saved!"
There are several warriors with strong aura in this hiding place, and they all look excited at this moment.
They've been trapped in this damn place for so many days, they've had enough!
Now that there is an opportunity to escape, people will certainly not miss it.
Without any buffer time, the man had to carry his son on his back and run towards the city gate with his companions.
As they traveled, there were obviously fewer zombies around, as if they were attracted to other directions, which made everyone feel relieved.
"It seems that a divine general has arrived in person."
"It's actually that kind of person. I've never seen a god general take action before!"
"Alas, after all, only a divine general can handle the current situation."
After the danger was reduced, the warriors' tones became much more relaxed when they talked, and they were still in the mood to discuss these topics, but suddenly one of them asked.
"Will the imperial court...really save us?"
This question made the atmosphere in the team a little depressing. It was really that the performance of the Great Tai Dynasty in recent years had already made the lower-class civilians very disappointed and they could not believe it.
After a long while, the leader said, "Maybe only our Liuzhou is bad, and there are still good people among the officials in other states."
Some people sneered, some nodded secretly, and their attitudes varied.
But no matter what, the army of the Great Tai Dynasty is their only lifeline and they must grab it.
The crowd walked forward for a while and heard the sound of fierce fighting in the distance.
Chapter 257 Rotten to the Core
Before the survivors could get close, a violent vibration came from the ground not far away.
Then, there were three deafening roars.
"kill!"
"kill!!"
"kill!!!"
The shouts and screams pierced through gold and split rocks, resounded through the sky, and formed actual sound waves that spread out.
The shout was composed of several overlapping voices, one louder than the other, containing a solemn and bloody fighting spirit.
"It's the imperial army!"
Everyone's faces suddenly changed, showing different emotions.
Some people fled without hesitation in the direction away from the shouting and killing; others looked hesitant, but eventually slowly approached.
The man carrying his son chose the latter.
He was too tired and too hungry to run any further with his son. Moreover, thinking back to the bracelet on the zombie, he felt a piercing pain in his heart.
They had only taken two steps when they saw the scene on the battlefield.
They were a group of soldiers wearing dark black armor. They were tall, with strong blood, holding bloody steel knives or spears in their hands. There was a fierce smell of blood around them, and the coldness in their eyes made the survivors tremble in their hearts.
The soldiers gathered together, and although there were obviously a large number of them, it felt to the survivors as if... they were a whole, just one person.
And at the forefront of the army, stood a man in pale blue armor, towering above everyone else.
His aura seemed to merge with that of the surrounding soldiers, reinforcing and sublimating each other, forming an indescribable power, like a black smoke covering the battlefield, enough to make the weak tremble in their hearts, terrified, and unwilling to be his enemy.
The man was naturally Zhao You.
The greatest value of a divine general is never in fighting alone, but in the battlefield.
This moment and this place is his home court!
Zhao You was in high spirits, with a smile on his face, and he felt as if everything in the world was under his control. This was the unique feeling when holding powerful force.
"It's a pity... this state can't last long. We still need the help of the military formation to maintain it. Otherwise, the world is so big, where can't we go?"
He waved his hand lightly, and without any orders, the army formation under him turned into a dark wave and rushed towards the roaring zombies in front.
The individual strength of the zombies is not weak. They are fearless and have no vital points. It takes some time for warriors of the same level to deal with them.
The number of zombies is even larger.
You must know that 90% of the people in Suyun County have been infected and turned into zombies. Only a very small number of people escaped early or lived on. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire city is full of zombies, standing there for ordinary warriors to kill, and they cannot be killed even if their hands are tired.
But in front of the military formation, the defense of this group of zombies was like fragile paper, which broke at the slightest touch.
The murderous blood even directly ignited the bodies of several zombies, and the corpse poison lost its original power.
In just a few breaths, the horrific roars were replaced by the soldiers' shouts. Large groups of zombies had their heads chopped off, their bodies blown up, or they were trampled into meat paste by the soldiers, clearing out a large open space.
Only the stench of decay became stronger and stronger, and dirty black blood was everywhere.
"Vulnerable."
Zhao You commented with disdain, then looked in the direction of the warriors from the Zhenling Division not far away, not hiding his complacency and provocation.
In the crowd, Anle remained calm and expressionless.
He naturally knew that Zhao You was looking at him and was taking this opportunity to show off his strength and arrogance.
Anle, however, thought that this behavior was quite childish, something that only elementary school boys would do. Considering that Zhao You's character had been distorted by the armor of the god general, it was not surprising.
The best way to deal with such meaningless provocations is to ignore them.
Situ Yuan next to him frowned, a little angry, and muttered.
"Isn't it just that he became a divine general a few years earlier? What's there to be so arrogant about?"
"If Brother Lu also becomes a divine general and takes charge of the army, his power will surely be even more astonishing."
Anle smiled helplessly.
Ever since he was gifted the Evil Sword of Immortal Slayer by the prince, everyone around him and every warrior he met believed that he would become a god-like general after this expedition.
But the problem is... Anle really doesn’t want to be a divine general!
It's not just because of his identity as an immortal cultivator, but also because the more he understands, the more he knows about the horrifying secrets hidden behind the existence of the divine armor.
Once you put on that armor, you may never be able to take it off.
He looked at the battlefield and was also amazed.
Before forming the battle formation, the soldiers in the army were no different from ordinary warriors, but at this moment they burst out with a power far greater than before.
Like a ball of blazing flame, it not only ignites all enemies in front of it, but will eventually burn itself out.
"Although the army is strong, I'm afraid it will cause considerable losses to the soldiers."
Anle said to himself, "Next time I want to attack Zhao You, it's best not to do it on the battlefield."
At this moment, Situ Yuan exclaimed in a low voice: "It seems that there are still survivors beside the ruins!"
Anle looked carefully and saw several people in tattered clothes, but they were obviously not zombies, running out and shouting something loudly.
But the next moment, Anle's pupils constricted.
The army of the Divine Dynasty continued to charge forward, bringing with it gusts of evil wind and directly crashing into the survivors.
The long sword was swung, and blood appeared.
The man carrying his son on his back felt the world spinning in front of him, and then he saw his headless body.
The boy, covered in blood, had a look of surprise and horror on his face. He just let out a whimpering roar when a spear pierced his chest. The spear then lifted the skinny man up high, spun him around in the air as if to show off, and then threw him on the ground like garbage.
Even at this moment, there was still disbelief on the boy's face and his eyes could not close.
He didn't understand why they escaped the calamity of the zombies, survived the most difficult situation, but died here.
The soldiers didn't care about the lives of these people at all. There was a flash of bloodthirsty excitement in their eyes, without any trace of humanity, as if they were just killing machines.
Seeing this scene, the warriors of Zhenling Division were also a little shocked and angry, and looked up at Zhao You who was high up.
After combining with the military forces, Zhao You became the master of these soldiers and could decide their actions with just a thought.
It can even be said that such actions were carried out under his control.
"Oh, they are just a bunch of untouchables. Who knows if they have corpse poison lurking in their bodies?"
Zhao You's cold voice came from above: "Instead of wasting our army's food and manpower to guard it, it is better to cut the grass and root it out. If they die like this, they can be regarded as doing their part for our Divine Dynasty."
"Why, are you going to make an enemy of me... for these untouchables?"
As he spoke, a majestic and vast murderous aura condensed around him, like a blood-red cloud, pressing down on everyone in the Zhenling Division.
In the blood cloud, there seemed to be countless soldiers roaring and attacking them with crazy fighting spirit.
Even though this was just an illusion, it still made the low-level warriors tremble all over and be frightened.
Li Guanshan and other fifth-level captains all looked solemn and awed.
"What a terrible smell."
"As expected of a divine general... after receiving the bonus from the military formation, his aura can only be described as unfathomable."
It was obvious that Zhao You wanted to take this opportunity to intimidate them with his own strength, and it just so happened that he did have the strength to do so at this moment!
Anle looked up deeply, then lowered his head, his eyes deep and he sneered in his heart.
"This is the divine general of the Great Tai Dynasty."
Perhaps it was Zhao You's nature, or perhaps it was the distortion of the divine armor, but no matter which the case, doing such a thing was enough to make Anle completely disappointed in the Datai Divine Dynasty.
"This Divine Dynasty is rotten to the core."
The only person who could stop Zhao You from doing this was the mysterious prince.
But it was obvious that he didn't care about the lives of the lower-class civilians at all, or... was this what he wanted to see?
The eradication of zombies in Suyun County was still going on, but Anle didn't want to watch any longer, so he turned around and left.
Under the crushing force of the army, although the zombies caused some casualties to the soldiers, compared with the numbers of both sides, they can only be described as insignificant.
******
Not long after, Xie Gaoguang found Anle.
"Master Lu, please follow me."
Anle, who had experience in simulation, felt a chill in his heart.
'finally come! '
He knew that the next period of time was extremely important and dangerous. If he took a wrong step, he would die without a burial place.
When Anle arrived at the tent, several good players from the Zhenling Division had already gathered there. Among them were familiar looking ones such as Sana, Feng Wushuang, and Tu Yuanwu, all of whom were stronger among the fifth level warriors of the Zhenling Division.
They were not surprised to see Anle coming, as they had obviously heard the news beforehand.
The prince sat in the tent, smiling, "Lü Bin, you are here."
This address sounded a bit friendly, causing several thousand households to look at him with envy.
Even though the identity of this man in black robe is still a mystery, it can be seen from some clues that he must be of great origin and is a big shot that ordinary people cannot reach.
Gaining his appreciation would undoubtedly help warriors avoid many detours.
Anle bowed his head respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant: "Greetings, Your Excellency."
