Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 228 We Have a Traitor Among Us
Da Zhuang commanded the zombie horde, but remained rooted to the spot.
Little did he know, Da Zhuang was being targeted—not by a person, but by a dog.
Fa Wang excitedly watched Da Zhuang from afar. He was the leading zombie; killing him would surely yield a lot of points.
“Awoo, awoo.”
Elder Dog was dispatched.
But someone grabbed him tightly from behind.
Chen Luo had also spotted Da Zhuang. He was one of their own. Without a doubt, Fa Wang was about to carry out a decapitation strike.
It would be hilarious if Da Zhuang was taken out by Fa Wang.
“Woof, woof.”
Tears welled in Fa Wang’s eyes. He knew it. As long as you were around, you would stop me from getting points.
The dog still didn't know why.
Chen Luo quickly explained in a low voice, "He's one of us. If you run into him again, don't kill him. If you do, I'll deduct a million points."
A million points!
Fa Wang trembled all over in fear, nearly collapsing. He was scared to death.
“Awoo, awoo.”
If he couldn't kill Da Zhuang, surely he could kill ordinary zombies, right?
Again, he was grabbed.
Chen Luo was helpless. If you go all out, how can we achieve the goal of training the others?
Fa Wang didn't understand. Just say you're rigging the game.
Chen Luo rubbed his head in frustration. He had to give Fa Wang some explanation.
"Just watch from the sidelines. I'll give you a thousand points. If you dare disobey, I'll deduct a thousand points. Your choice."
Fa Wang was surprised. You're finally acting like a decent person, treating a dog so well? It's a little unsettling.
The horde of zombies rushing forward was still a bit shocking.
Seeing the large number of zombies in front, the zombies in the back realized they might not get any, so they moved to the left and right sides.
They were threatened from three directions.
Chen Luo’s members didn't leave the city but stood on the city wall.
Only elemental users could attack remotely. Out of the two thousand, first, they could eliminate about five hundred melee fighters—the most numerous.
One in every four ability users was a melee fighter.
Then, subtract the 189 light-attribute users, and the rest were elemental users.
First, the ice-attribute members began using Frost, a very basic ability.
Soon, a layer of frost covered the ground below the city wall. It had no offensive power but was very slippery.
Zombies running fast and carelessly kept falling, even turning on each other in anger.
“Did you trip me?”
When the zombies reached the bottom of the city wall, everyone began to attack.
The main force was fire and lightning users, with wind and earth users being less effective.
Fire bursts, lightning storms, flame paths, and chain lightning—a dazzling array of attacks surged toward the zombies.
The first wave of zombies died instantly, but the remaining zombies weren't afraid. Their eyes glowed redder as they surged forward.
With the city wall, they couldn't climb up, nor could they build siege weapons to climb. They could only attack the city wall continuously.
But the half-meter-thick city wall couldn't be destroyed by them anytime soon.
The city wall didn't actually need to be built so well because later-stage zombies could jump up with a single leap.
They easily killed more than a thousand zombies, but soon, it wasn't so easy.
To the surprised exclamations of the members, the zombies raised the bodies of their fallen comrades, using them as meat shields.
Although they weren't as tough as they were in life, it was extremely effective in reducing injuries and casualties.
You have a city wall; I have meat shields.
Most of the attacks were blocked by the meat shields, and the surviving zombies only suffered from the impact.
The zombies also attacked directly at the top of the city wall. Some were blocked by the city wall, some were blocked by turtle shells, and a few unlucky ones were hit squarely.
Many turtle shells were already broken, and these shells didn't have the ability to automatically recover. Some shells were no longer usable.
A fire dragon more than ten meters long appeared. This was released by Mi Ling.
At level four, Mi Ling could only condense flames into the shape of a fire snake, but now she had made great progress.
This fire dragon seemed to have its own intelligence, chasing after the zombies.
Zombies touched by the fire dragon would soon be burned to a crisp.
Kuang Lei kept a cold face, venting all the frustration he had suffered from Fa Wang onto the zombies.
Continuous lightning storms and chain lightning poured down on the zombies.
Kuang Lei's abnormality attracted the attention of others. This person was quite awesome.
However, the one who killed the most enemies was Xu Qing.
Three consecutive Fire Sea techniques shocked the audience.
At this time, the zombies were dense, and the large-area Fire Sea technique displayed its power, killing nearly a thousand zombies.
Xu Qing would later have a title called Meteor Fire Sea.
He had a unique understanding of large-area fire spells and could release them with less consumption than others.
If Mi Ling could release it twice, Xu Qing could release it three times.
In a one-on-one fight, Xu Qing was definitely not Mi Ling's opponent, but in a group fight, Mi Ling was not as useful as Xu Qing.
Chen Luo looked at Xu Qing with great appreciation, considering allocating one of the two level-seven crystals obtained during the meeting to Xu Qing.
For such talent, it was necessary to win people's hearts.
As for Mi Ling, things were a little too smooth for her.
He needed to put some pressure on her.
A level-seven fire crystal would probably be enough to get her to level seven.
The flames of the Fire Sea technique were not everlasting; the temperature and power would continuously weaken.
Although the zombies in the battle weren't afraid of death, they weren't stupid either. They wouldn't recklessly charge into the Fire Sea.
After nearly three minutes of attack, the city wall was showing signs of collapse, and the elemental users had also consumed almost all of their abilities.
The city wall was covered with zombie corpses, and the zombies behind were still charging in continuously.
About five thousand zombies had died, with two thousand remaining.
Da Zhuang's estimated numbers were a bit off.
Chen Luo shouted loudly, "Open the city gates and fight outside the city!"
Xiong Wenhui cracked his knuckles and said, "I've been itching for a fight!"
"Bear Strength!"
Xiong Wenhui transformed into a black bear more than five meters tall. This was a level-six attribute black bear.
Not transforming into a level seven allowed him to extend the transformation time.
Xiong Wenhui directly stomped on the zombies with his big feet.
Su Dazhu, Xia Haoran, and others also moved out.
All melee members were dispatched, and elemental users with abilities followed behind.
One thousand against two thousand.
Xiong Wenhui was the most eye-catching and received the most attacks. Soon, Xiong Wenhui couldn't hold on and had to transform into a level-seven black bear.
A scream rang out as a level-four member was ambushed by a level-five zombie. If it hadn't hit a non-vital area, he would have died on the spot.
A very small number of zombies that had eaten people had already evolved to level five in advance.
They hid among the level-four zombies, making it impossible to distinguish them.
Level-five members, on the other hand, were hard to kill; they would only be injured at most.
Soon, the number of zombies dwindled and was wiped out.
Chen Luo's side had only lost nine people, all level-four members.
Although they had won, most people were already exhausted.
If there were three thousand more zombies, the casualty rate would have greatly increased without Chen Luo and Fa Wang taking action.
Bing Lin and his group watched from afar with gloomy faces. The other side indeed had some skills.
Hei Lei said hatefully, "The opposite side has a city wall, and it's almost collapsed. If we attract another batch of zombies, they won't be able to hold on."
Bing Lin said coldly, "We have a traitor among us."
