Let's Goooo

💜💚

Boom—!" Suddenly, the quiet mountains shook violently as dust rolled in from afar. Ten miles to the north stood a stone city, surrounded by twenty-meter-high walls on all sides, with an additional ten-meter-high defensive wall outside. Soon, armed personnel holding firearms appeared row after row on the walls.

As the ground trembled louder, a dark wave line gradually emerged on the horizon. Seeing this, several people on the high walls stepped back and quickly set up a fortress cannon, its black muzzle pointing directly at the opposite side.

Through the telescope, as the distance closed, the sea of shadows revealed itself to be a crowd of people! In a blink, those decaying faces were right before them!

The person holding the telescope trembled, almost dropping it. He waved his arm down and shouted, "Fire!" "—Bang!"

The cannon fired, tearing a large hole in the surging tide, sending blood and flesh flying under the blue sky. The sound of bodies hitting the ground made one's hair stand on end. A piece of flesh fell within the city walls, landing with a soft thud on a bald head

That slight sound was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through the city's facade. Screams erupted from the previously silent inner city

A half-body lying at the base of the wall tilted its head upward, staring at the high walls. Its eyes rolled white, and its mouth opened and closed in a strange arc. Its hand gripped the wall, nails digging deep into the stone, inching upward, trailing a disgusting trail of thick liquid behind.

Plop, plop, plop..." One by one, corpses fell from the sky, landing like raindrops. They struggled to rise, staring up at the people on the high walls, their pale faces with lifeless pupils, then charged forward at incredible speed. The armed personnel on the high walls adjusted their guns, aiming at the zombies, unleashing a barrage of gunfire. Inside the stone city, at Hongshan Base, Jiang Zhendong stood before the monitors, his eyes filled with rage.

Kim Tian stood beside Jiang Zhendong. On the monitor, red dots were rapidly consuming the green area from south to north. The alarm kept beeping, the numbers in the corner climbing towards the million mark, far exceeding the expected fifty thousand zombies

A man in combat gear suddenly appeared behind Jiang Zhendong, his face anxious.

Jiang Zhendong turned sharply to stare at him. Zhao Xiong's breath caught. Jiang Zhendong withdrew his gaze, pushed him aside, and strode out. Kim Tian hurriedly grabbed a gun nearby and followed closely.

They took the elevator to the observation deck. By then, the outer district had fallen. Below, the city was a sea of blood, filled with chasing zombies and fleeing residents. Human screams and the sounds of flesh being torn and bones crunching echoed incessantly. More despairingly, a massive hole had appeared in the inner wall, through which more zombies were falling into the inner city.

Kim Tian was shocked. That wall was nearly five meters thick, built by a Level Four Metal-type and a Level Five Earth-type ability user! Suddenly, Kim Tian stumbled, and the surroundings darkened. Two towering pillars appeared before him. He slowly looked up along the pillars and saw a giant, tens of meters tall, with bulging muscles and ragged clothes, staring at him with huge eyes

Kim Tian's eyes widened in terror. He had never seen a Level Five zombie, but he had heard enough about their terror. It was not something a Level Four ability user could handle. He turned to look for Jiang Zhendong, but Jiang Zhendong was nowhere to be seen.

In the next moment, dark clouds loomed overhead, leaving no time for thought. Kim Tian raised his hands, and a giant python shot out! The giant zombie did not dodge, colliding straight with the python. The python shattered into water, then reformed into sharp blades that stabbed at the zombie. However, these blades seemed ineffective against the zombie's iron-like skin. With a shake, the blades exploded and vanished.

Kim Tian was pushed back several steps by the impact. He steadied himself and raised his hands again, releasing another giant python, which wrapped around the zombie as it stepped forward! The python was about to coil around the muscular zombie, but the zombie casually waved its hand, causing half of the python to turn into water. The water reformed into small snakes that stuck to the zombie, one of which darted into its ear! Kim Tian rejoiced momentarily but was then slapped away by a giant hand, vomiting blood onto the wall.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zhendong easily dispatched two Level Three zombies. Turning back, he saw Kim Tian sprawled in a pool of blood, firing wildly at the multi-story zombie. However, the fireballs bounced off the zombie's bulging muscles, making humans seem like mere ants under its dominance.

Kim Tian cried, his voice breaking. His leg was broken, and he couldn't get up. He threw his depleted energy gun at the zombie, which crushed it without hesitation, then reached out and grabbed Kim Tian—

Bang!

The zombie was struck by five lightning bolts, flying dozens of meters away. Jiang Zhendong retracted his hand, a severed arm spinning through the air. Zombies lost all sensation of pain since the day they died. Even with an arm severed, the zombie only paused briefly. Its severed flesh and nerves twitched slightly, regenerating a centimeter in just moments. Seeing Jiang Zhendong, the zombie's white eyes moved, then it abandoned its previous target and sprinted toward Jiang Zhendong at even greater speed.

Jiang Zhendong narrowed his eyes, pulled Kim Tian up, and said sternly,

kim Tian looked disheveled.

Jiang Zhendong roared. Kim Tian hesitated, and Jiang Zhendong added coldly

Kim Tian stiffened, tremblingly raising a hand. A water column shot out but wilted halfway. Kim Tian's pupils contracted. A purple flash appeared beside him, and a bolt of lightning surged into the water column. Water and electricity merged, causing a burst of purple light and a crackling sound like thunder striking the Level Five zombie's head! Before Kim Tian could celebrate, the headless zombie staggered but continued charging toward them!

Jiang Zhendong stepped back, raised his hands, and unleashed two thick purple lightning bolts that struck the Level Five zombie with blinding speed— At the center of the lightning strike, a giant 'hand' formed from densely packed lightning bolts clashed with the zombie. With a loud "Bang!", sparks flew, and the force sent both of them flying hundreds of meters away. Someone caught them and swiftly flew away from the scene. Behind him, the giant zombie was engulfed in raging flames.

Its high-speed sprint fueled the fire, making it look like a towering sea of flames from a distance. Beneath the flames, purple lightning coiled around the giant zombie, splitting into countless fine electric threads that darted into the zombie's body like cunning vipers. Jiang Zhendong stared intently at the zombie, beads of sweat dripping down his furrowed brow. From afar, the sound of explosions could still be heard coming from the Level 5 zombie. When the three of them landed, the massive zombie finally collapsed with a thunderous crash. The battle below paused briefly as the Level 5 zombie fell. Zhao Xiong used wind blades to dissect the zombie’s thick chest and retrieved an orange crystal core. After cleaning it with a whirlwind, he handed it to Jiang Zhendong.

Jiang Zhendong took the crystal core and placed his hand behind his back. He looked at the corpse of the Level 5 zombie. Clearly, this creature had been through fierce battles before; besides the wounds inflicted by him and Kim Tian, there were several partially healed injuries on its body. The most fatal wound was a half-healed hole near its heart, just two centimeters away from the crystal core. Jiang Zhendong clenched his fist tighter. The Level 6 zombie hadn't appeared yet, and they couldn't stay here any longer

Jiang Zhendong clenched his fist tighter. The Level 6 zombie hadn't appeared yet, and they couldn't stay here any longer. He picked up Kim Tian and strode away, barking

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiong’s eyes widened. He glanced back at the inner city, which resembled hell, and his eyelashes trembled. He replied solemnly, "Yes!" "Beep... beep..." The phone rang. Jiang Zhendong answered the wireless phone

Jiang Zhendong hung up and tossed the radio aside. He walked a few steps to the edge of the city wall, glancing at the territory he had rebuilt himself.

Hongshan Base was originally a prison. After Jiang Zhendong arrived, he converted the former office building into a medical facility, consisting of two floors. The building was deep and divided into two zones internally. The front served as a small clinic and laboratory, while the rear area was known to very few. In the rear area, thirty people dressed in hospital gowns were tied together with a rope, being pushed and shoved by ten people armed with energy guns or bayonets. Two ability users hurried ahead

At the end of the line, KIM TAEHYUNG lifted his eyelids, his dry lips pursing. As an experimental subject, his body had long been drained. Even with the help of those pulling him forward, he was frequently prodded and cursed at by the guards to move faster.

They passed through a corridor shaped like a “well,” leading to a stone door perfectly integrated into the wall. From either side, no one could tell there was a door, hiding a vast laboratory behind it.

💜💚

After the two silent psychics opened the stone door, the ten people behind them wore various expressions, clearly unaware that such a large secret space was hidden behind the hospital.

The words came from a fat man next to Kim Taehyung. He wasn't asking anyone in particular but still scanned the group, spotting a couple of familiar faces. Just as the fat man was about to get closer for a look, the stone door opened, and the group started moving again. No one dared to answer the fat man's question. They had managed to stay in their positions by keeping their mouths shut, even if they had complaints, they wouldn't voice them in front of the psychics. The surroundings fell silent, and the fat man felt his face flush with embarrassment. His cousin was not only a powerful fire psychic but also a close advisor to the leader. Most psychics would try to curry favor with him.

He naturally considered himself above these people, usually commanding attention, but now everyone was quiet out of fear of the two psychics, which diminished his standing. The fat man was furious but didn't dare to challenge the psychics directly. The two psychics at the front exchanged glances and sneered. As Kim Taehyung watched the others pass through the stone door, he stumbled and fell at the fat man's feet.

The fat man turned around and kicked Taehyung, who was lying on the ground— Taehyung, thin and frail, flew like a leaf against the wall and then crashed heavily to the ground, curling up in pain and coughing violently, as if trying to expel his organs. The fat man felt vindicated, and perhaps one kick wasn't enough, so he walked over and poked Taehyung with the gun in his hand.

Taehyung curled up, covering his head, but he had no strength and could only run in circles around the fat man. The other guards laughed at the spectacle until they noticed the psychics' displeased expressions and abruptly stopped.

The fat man, basking in his moment of triumph, suddenly heard a hand grab the gun barrel. Startled, he saw Taehyung use the leverage to stand up, snatch the gun, and fire into the crowd before hiding behind a pillar to dodge the bullets coming from behind and running in the opposite direction. Humiliated by losing his gun, the fat man grabbed a gun from a companion and chased after Taehyung. Behind them, the ropes binding the people were cut by the bullets and fell to the ground. A few people with some remaining strength seized the opportunity to grab the guards' guns and start shooting in all directions.

Chaos erupted, and one person managed to escape under the cover of their companions. A muscular psychic cursed and ignited a flame in his palm, but his earpiece beeped twice, followed by his teammate's voice.

The psychic with braids asked the muscular man after killing a few people,

The muscular man said, firing several shots indiscriminately at the remaining people. Seeing the indiscriminate killing of both lab rats and their own, the psychic with braids understood and began attacking those around him. The accomplices fell before they could react. The psychic with braids wanted to chase the escaped ones, but the muscular man stopped him

Bang!" The heavy iron door slammed against the wall, and Taehyung appeared at the entrance, facing a room full of cages and zombies inside. The previously quiet zombies roared at Taehyung's appearance. Taehyung closed the door and retreated. "Beep... beep..." a sound kept ringing incessantly. Taehyung knew it was a timer, a death knell. "Bang!" Taehyung pushed open the next door, revealing various laboratory equipment. Close the door, retreat. "Beep... beep..." "Bang!" An autopsy room. Close the door, retreat... "Beep... beep..." "Bang!" An operating table.

Close the door, retreat... Taehyung repeated this mechanical action, knowing that leaving was the wisest choice, but a deep-seated attachment pulled him back. "Beep... beep..." Time was running out. Taehyung looked down the corridor, his heart pounding. There were only two rooms left. He stood before the second-to-last frosted glass door, panting heavily, his fingers tightly gripping the front of his hospital gown. Hesitantly, he pushed the door open. Behind the door was a screen.

Taehyung moved past it, seeing rows of display cabinets, shattered glass, and torn documents scattered on the floor. The cabinets contained transparent jars filled with specimens like chunks of flesh, tissue samples, and insect and animal corpses, each labeled with a number and marked with a red cross. Taehyung's pupils constricted as his gaze fixed on a massive transparent glass sphere. It was a sphere with a diameter of two meters. Taehyung approached step by step, and the scene inside became clearer—a partially formed fetus floating in murky liquid, curled up silently.

*****

As Jiang Zhendong and the others left, the zombies outside finally broke through the last line of defense and surged into the city, filling it with the sounds of frenzied biting and desperate human struggles.

A piercing scream of rage and sorrow echoed beyond the city walls, followed by a car speeding out of the city. A woman lying on the ground, being devoured by zombies, stared at the car heading towards the city gate and laughed, her half-eaten face twitching uncontrollably

Run... run away... Ha, wolves ahead, tigers behind... Ha... fly as fast as you want... ha, what does it matter—" Her mouth was bitten, her throat torn by claws, and the spurting blood made the zombies even more frenzied. Up ahead, the sedan turned two streets and slowly came to a stop.

The car window rolled down, and a gun barrel extended from the window. "Bang!" Twelve ice arrows whistled out simultaneously. Two of them pierced through the pineal glands of zombies and then with another "plop," embedded themselves in the foreheads of the zombies behind, causing them to fall. Taehyung aimed at the zombies, shooting continuously. Although he hit many with each volley of twelve ice arrows, he could not stop the relentless waves of zombies. He had no choice; the car was out of gas. A "click" signaled an empty shot.

Taehyung paused as he prepared to embed a crystal core. The energy gun in his hand turned to ash and scattered through his fingers. Taehyung looked at the surrounding horde of zombies and then raised his head toward the vehicles disappearing over the hill. He pulled back, carefully picking up the bundle wrapped in white cloth from the passenger seat. In the process, he revealed a swollen infant's face, the baby's fan-shaped eyelashes drooping lifelessly over closed eyelids, devoid of any sign of life.

Taehyung gently brushed his cheek against the baby's cold little face and whispered softly.

As he spoke, he opened the sunroof and stood up with the baby. Behind him, the research lab exploded with a loud boom, the shockwaves continuing one after another. Taehyung paid no attention, his gaze fixed on a protected SUV in the distance, slowly raising his hand— "Boom—!!"

On the mountain, a fire dragon rushed over at lightning speed. Inside the car, Kim Tian thought he must be seeing things, but then watched in horror as the fire dragon opened its gaping maw toward him! kim Tian's breath caught, and his heart skipped a beat! Yet, the fire dragon transformed into specks of light, gradually dissipating in the wind... Taehyung's eyes darkened.

Bang!!
