I'm a zombie, what's the point of awakening the yellow-haired system?

"Get along well with these poisonous insects." Zhang Chen turned and left, with dark gold soul-devouring locusts all over the sky behind him. They have completely occupied the territory of the Blood Demon Sect and will forever guard those who once helped the tyrant.

"No...please..." Ye Shuang fell to his knees.

Zhang Chen did not look back. Behind him, 100 million tons of mutated locusts were circling and flying, making a creepy buzzing sound. These locusts would stay here forever, like a living prison, preventing those who had once fallen into evil from escaping forever.

Zhang Chen took one last look at the ruins. The dark gold soul-devouring locusts had completely occupied every inch of the Blood Demon Sect's land. They flashed a strange golden light in the sun, like a living black ocean.

"Master... I know I was wrong..." Ye Shuang cried behind him, "I was forced to do that..."

Zhang Chen sneered: "Forced?"

"I remember the look of enjoyment on your face when you were refining the blood pills. How many innocent people have been killed by the blood pills you refined yourself?"

Ye Shuang knelt on the ground and trembled. She recalled her ugly appearance when she was intoxicated with power. At that time, she acted arrogantly as the elder of the Blood Merchants Association and fed the blood pills to the rebels with her own hands...

"Remember," Zhang Chen's voice was cold, "this is not a punishment, but a chance to atone for your sins. These locusts will always watch over you and make you remember the sins you have committed forever."

The locusts in the sky suddenly became agitated, and they split into countless small groups, surrounding the former members of the Blood Merchant Guild. These accomplices looked ashen, knowing that they could no longer escape.

Zhang Chen turned and left, and heard the cries of Ye Shuang and others behind him. But he did not look back, because he knew that these people had to pay the price for their choice.

A particularly large dark gold soul-eating locust landed on his shoulder. This was the one that had devoured the power of the Blood Demon Gu King. Its tentacles swayed gently, as if asking for instructions from its master.

"Watch them carefully," Zhang Chen said softly, "Let them always remember the price of betraying humanity."

Zhang Chen passed through the space crack and returned to Earth. What came into view was an endless expanse of golden rice fields, with rice ears swaying gently in the breeze, exuding the fragrance of maturity. The underground water veins he had brought in had given this once dry land a new lease of life.

"It seems that everything is fine..." He whispered to himself, his eyes sweeping over the busy farmers. They didn't know that their master had been trapped in another world, and they still lived and worked as usual.

The castle stands majestically on the hill in the distance, and its grayish-white stone walls glow softly in the sunlight.

Zhang Chen could feel that the castle's protective formation had been operating normally, and this was all thanks to Anna.

When he pushed open the castle door, he was greeted by the usual tranquility.

The servants were still working in an orderly manner, the roses in the garden were in full bloom, and the water from the fountain reflected colorful light in the sunlight.

"Master, you are back." Anna walked down the stairs and bowed gracefully. Her voice was calm, as if Zhang Chen had just gone out for a walk instead of missing for several months.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period." Zhang Chen looked at his most trusted butler.

Anna smiled slightly: "The news of the master's disappearance has been completely blocked, and no one knows that you have left. I told everyone that you were in seclusion for cultivation."

Her eyes flashed with a fanatical faith: "I have always believed that the master will come back, because in my heart, you are the master of this world. How could the Blood Demon Sect trap you?"

Zhang Chen looked at Anna's devout eyes and couldn't help but sigh. In this woman's heart, he had long transcended the boundaries of mortals and became a true god. This almost blind faith allowed her to perfectly maintain all appearances during his disappearance.

Chapter 636: The Demon Attacks

"Go prepare dinner," Zhang Chen said softly, "I want to taste your cooking."

Anna bowed gracefully: "I'm ready, Master."

"From the moment you stepped into the territory, I sensed your presence."

Zhang Chen looked at Anna's departing back, thoughtful.

This woman's loyalty to him has reached an almost terrifying level.

But it is this loyalty that keeps his territory in order even when he is away.

In the castle's dining room, candlelight flickered.

The dinner prepared by Anna was filled with fragrance, and every dish was Zhang Chen’s favorite.

"Master," Anna stood aside with fanatical admiration in her eyes, "During this period, I will prepare your meals on time every day, just like when you were here."

Zhang Chen looked at the carefully arranged tableware on the dining table. Every detail was so perfect that it was breathtaking.

He knew that when he was away, Anna must have repeated the same ritual day after day, as if he had never left.

"Tell me, what happened during this period of time?" Zhang Chen asked while enjoying the food.

Anna elegantly poured him a glass of red wine. "The harvest in the territory is very good. The rice is ripe and the yield is 30% higher than in previous years. The underground water veins have given this land a new lease of life."

She continued to report: "New mineral veins have been discovered in the mountains to the north, and several spiritual medicine gardens have been added to the forests to the south. As for those who wanted to find out about the master..." A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, "I used various methods to send them away."

Zhang Chen knew that what Anna meant by "send away" might not be that simple.

This woman's loyalty to him often makes her do some extreme things, but this is exactly what he needs.

"Master," Anna suddenly whispered, "You went to a very dangerous place this time, didn't you?"

Zhang Chen looked at her worried eyes and chuckled, "Why, even you are worried about my safety?"

"No,"

Anna shook her head firmly, "I just thought that those who dared to hurt the master must have paid a heavy price."

"Because the master is the ruler and the god of this land."

"Anyone who challenges the master will only bring about his own destruction."

Zhang Chen looked at the darkening sky outside the window and thought of the ruins covered by dark gold soul-eating locusts.

The next morning, Zhang Chen led the students of the School of Supernatural Powers to the ruins. This land, once contaminated by zombies, was barren and exuded a rotten smell.

"Today, we have to clean up this ruin." Zhang Chen stood in front of the students, his voice calm but powerful, "The fire-type esper among you will be responsible for burning, the earth-type esper will be responsible for turning the soil, and the water-type esper will be ready to put out the fire."

The students moved in groups in an orderly manner. The flames rose up and engulfed the ruins. The dark gold soul-eating locusts lurking in the ruins were surrounded by the flames, but they did not try to escape, as if they were waiting for some kind of fate.

As the locusts were burned, a strange phenomenon occurred. The locusts that were burned to ashes actually emitted a golden energy that seeped into the devastated land.

"Master, look!" a student exclaimed.

The lifeless land began to glow with a faint golden light. The earth-type ability users could clearly feel that some kind of life force was awakening underground.

"This is..." Anna stood beside Zhang Chen, with surprise in her eyes.

Zhang Chen smiled: "The Dark Gold Soul Devouring Locust absorbed the energy of the Blood Demon Gu King, and the Blood Demon Gu King is a magical creature born between heaven and earth."

"Now, this energy is returning to the earth, bringing new vitality."

As more and more locusts were burned, changes in the land became more obvious.

The dead soil that was once contaminated by zombies is becoming fertile at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Some tiny sprouts have even begun to emerge from the ground, glowing a healthy green in the sunlight.

"Life will always find a way out," Zhang Chen looked at this scene thoughtfully, "Even the most evil things, when they are guided correctly, can become nutrients that nourish life."

The students worked enthusiastically, watching the ruins gradually come back to life.

By evening, the lifeless land had transformed into a fertile land full of vitality.

The sky suddenly became gloomy and covered with dark clouds. A strange atmosphere spread from the sky.

"Something's wrong..." Zhang Chen looked up suddenly, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis.

The distant horizon has been shrouded in a strange blood-red color, which is even more terrifying than the blood mist of the Blood Merchant Guild.

Anna quickly ordered: "All students return to the underground shelter immediately!"

At this moment, a huge crack appeared in the sky, and countless twisted tentacles protruded from the crack.

The surface of those tentacles was covered with densely packed eyeballs, each of which was spinning wildly, emitting a disgusting evil aura.

"This is... a demon invasion!" Zhang Chen's face changed drastically. He remembered the records he had seen in the Blood Demon Sect's books, that every ten thousand years, the demons would tear through the plane barriers and invade the lower world.

The ground began to shake violently, and some buildings began to collapse. Screams could be heard from afar. The tentacles continued to extend, devouring all life wherever they passed.

"Anna, activate the castle's highest level of defense!" Zhang Chen made a prompt decision, "All people with special abilities, prepare to fight!"

The cracks in the sky were getting bigger and bigger, and countless ferocious demonic creatures emerged from them. They had different shapes, some looked like giant insects, some looked like humans, and each of them exuded a terrifying aura that was beyond human cognition.

"Maybe this time..." Zhang Chen looked at the dark sky with a serious look in his eyes.

He knew that this was not an ordinary disaster, but a war that concerned the survival of the plane.

Every movement of the demon was accompanied by the distortion of space. Its huge body was covered with countless wriggling eyeballs and tentacles, and just looking at it could drive people crazy. Wherever it passed, the ground cracked, the trees withered instantly, and even the moisture in the air was drained, forming a dead vacuum zone.

"Back off!" Zhang Chen shouted, but it was too late.

A huge tentacle suddenly broke out from the ground and pierced through several psychics who had no time to dodge. Their bodies began to rot rapidly the moment they touched the tentacles, and in the blink of an eye they turned into a pool of black water. The smell of death spread in the air.

"Master...Master!" Anna's voice suddenly came.

Zhang Chen turned his head and saw a shocking scene: dozens of tiny tentacles had wrapped around Anna's limbs and waist. The eyeballs on the surface of those tentacles were staring at her, and some strange energy was seeping into her body.

"Let her go!" Zhang Chen shouted, exerting all his power. But the demon seemed to be prepared, and an invisible force field blocked his attack.

Chapter 637 Earthquake

Anna's skin began to turn a strange purple-black color, and her eyes were filled with pain and despair: "Master...save...save me..."

The demon's tentacles suddenly tightened, and with the sound of bones breaking, Anna's body was lifted high. For the first time, fear appeared in her eyes that were always full of admiration.

"No!" Zhang Chen rushed forward frantically, but more tentacles blocked his way. The demon let out a creepy laugh, and the sound seemed to come from the deepest part of hell.

Under Zhang Chen's gaze, Anna's body was dragged into the crack in the sky. Her last cry dissipated in the wind: "Master... I believe you..."

The demon seemed to be teasing Zhang Chen, its tentacles dancing in the air, its eyes showing a mocking look. Its power far exceeded Zhang Chen's imagination, and it was no longer something that a mortal could fight against.

The earth shook violently, and cracks spread across the surface like spider webs.

The metal pillars of the dungeon groaned in a teeth-grinding way, and the thick concrete walls began to crack.

"Mom! Mom!" A boy about seven years old cried out in the ruins.

His mother was pinned under a collapsed steel bar, blood oozing from her mouth.

"Xiaohang... hurry up..." the mother said with difficulty, using her last bit of strength to push her son away. At this moment, another piece of ceiling fell down, completely separating the mother and son.

Such heart-wrenching scenes were everywhere in the underground city’s shelter.

A man was frantically picking at the rubble; his wife and daughter were inside.

But as the earthquake intensified, more rubble poured down, burying him.

"Dad!" A thirteen-year-old girl pulled her brother and watched her father being buried alive.

She wanted to rush over to save people, but was forcibly taken away by a passing psychic: "Don't go! The whole underground city is about to collapse!"

The underground shopping street has become a death trap. Shelves have collapsed, wires have short-circuited and fires have occurred.

A young couple was trapped in an elevator. The man tried desperately to pry open the elevator door, but he watched helplessly as the steel cable broke and the elevator fell into the abyss with his beloved.

"Save my child!" A pregnant woman was trapped under the rubble and her abdomen had begun to bleed.

Doctors wanted to rescue them, but found that all the medical equipment was destroyed in the landslide.

The people in the underground shelter were crowding together trying to escape, but they didn't know that the demons outside were a bigger threat.

In the chaos, the family of three was separated by the crowd. The father tried desperately to grab his wife's hand, but could only watch her disappear in the terrified crowd.

"Husband!" A woman frantically searched for her husband in the ruins.

They were just together and said they wanted to have a child after the disaster was over.

Now, she couldn't even find his body.

In the dungeon's main control room, a red warning flashed on the display screen.

The energy shield supporting the entire dungeon is about to collapse. Once the shield disappears, everyone will be buried deep underground.

At this desperate moment, a low beast roar broke through the darkness.

Several huge mutant beasts rushed in from the cracks in the ground.

Their bodies emit a faint blue light, and their sharp claws can easily tear through concrete.

Leading the way was a gigantic rock-eating beast whose hard shell could withstand thousands of tons of weight.

It lowered its head and lifted up the heavy reinforced concrete, creating a way out for the trapped people.

"Hurry, everyone follow the mutant beast!" Zhang Chen's voice echoed in the dungeon.

A two-headed dragon lizard used its tail to roll up the pregnant woman trapped under the rubble, and carefully placed her on its soft back. Its two heads simultaneously sprayed healing energy, temporarily stabilizing the pregnant woman's injuries.

"Mom!" The little boy who had been separated just now suddenly saw hope.

A burrowing beast covered with spikes was using its sharp claws to carefully dig up the ruins that were crushing his mother.

More mutants joined the rescue.
