They sounded the alarm in terror, "Zombie tide detected, all ability users prepare for battle!!"
Xiao Ye led a vast army of zombies, observing the heavily guarded base walls populated by ability users.
Xiao Ye chose diplomacy before force, clearing his throat. "The base has taken some of my zombie brethren, and I wish to bring them back."
"I have developed a serum, and peace in the apocalypse will soon be restored."
"If you cooperate, humans from the zombie territories will soon meet with you."
His voice was powerful and full of confidence.
The ability users on the walls listened to Xiao Ye's words in stunned silence.
They looked at Xiao Ye, who resembled a human, with disbelief and anger. "You minion of the zombies, who would believe you? How could there be zombies in our base?!"
The humans in the base became enraged, believing this was Xiao Ye's excuse to bring the zombie tide.
Xiao Ye was prepared for distrust.
Having said what he needed to, there was no need for further politeness.
His gaze instantly turned cold and sharp, and he commanded the countless zombies present, "Attack!"
The zombies roared and charged through the base like a breaking wave. They stormed into the base with frenzied determination.
The ability users quickly launched their attacks, but the sheer number of zombies was overwhelming.
Combined with Xiao Ye's power, the leader of the zombies.
The ability users couldn't hold on for even a minute before they decisively fled deeper into the base.
"Quickly notify everyone, the zombie tide has arrived!"
Xiao Ye, leading a massive horde of zombies, entered the base.
No one could stop the zombies. Countless humans, terrified, retreated into their survival rooms.
Xiao Ye searched for the scent of the suit zombie and soon detected a familiar odor.
Humans peeked out cautiously, their heads emerging from the doors. "Oh no, all the zombies are heading towards the Lord's territory!"
The survivor base was vast. Xiao Ye followed the scent to the uppermost floor.
Upon opening the door to the top floor, he saw no one.
This was clearly a room that showed signs of habitation!
However, Xiao Ye proceeded to the study and found a hidden mechanism.
He turned it, revealing a passage within.
Xiao Ye stepped inside.
The passage contained dozens of researchers, and the base's Lord, Meng Yang, stood among them.
In containers were rows upon rows of zombies.
On the operating table lay Shen Que and others, their core crystals freshly extracted.
The process of beheading these zombies and extracting their core crystals was brutal and bloody.
Lord Meng Yang held a core crystal in his hand, frowning. "The thirty-eighth core crystal today, why are there fewer and fewer?"
"The remaining zombies are either low-level and haven't evolved, or mid-level ones who have reached the zombie territory, making them hard for us to capture," respectfully replied a researcher.
Meng Yang's expression darkened. "Then let's inject more virus. Make more survivors turn into zombies quickly. If that doesn't work, throw out a batch of the base's humans."
The researchers nodded repeatedly.
Meng Yang looked at the energy pod filled with core crystals. With a flick of the mechanism, he could absorb all the core crystals at once.
His ability power would skyrocket, making him the strongest person in the apocalypse.
"Roar!"
The researchers dragged in an injured suit zombie.
The suit zombie tried to resist, but it had been injected with a zombie control agent, and all its strength had vanished.
"This is a high-level zombie?"
Meng Yang looked at the suit zombie, his eyes immediately filled with greed.
The researchers replied, "Yes, we went to great lengths to capture it..."
"Quickly administer anesthetic and place it on the operating table to extract the core crystal."
Meng Yang was impatient.
He wanted to see how beautiful the core crystal of a high-level zombie was.
A researcher, holding anesthetic, prepared to inject it into the suit zombie.
This laboratory was piled high with the corpses of zombies!
"The more chaotic the apocalypse, the better. They are all my nourishment."
Meng Yang laughed greedily, staring at the high-level zombie before him.
Once he absorbed the power of the core crystal, he would be the ruler of the world.
...
"This Lord is too twisted."
"He dug out so many zombie heads just to become the strongest?"
"These are all lunatics! The apocalypse virus was likely their creation!"
The masses on Blue Star were stunned.
They had heard the conversation between Meng Yang and the researchers.
Who would have thought that the base, considered a beacon of hope by humanity,
The base's Lord was the mastermind behind the release of the virus!
Chu Fei had considered every possible evolution of the apocalypse, but she had never doubted the Lord.
In the eyes of all ability users, the Lord brought hope to humanity; he was a man they revered.
Yet, the Lord, in his pursuit of power, had created all of this through any means necessary.
Chu Fei, with disheveled hair, said blankly, "I've been abetting evil at the base all along?"
She couldn't accept this outcome; the Lord she admired was the villain.
The female war gods sensed Chu Fei, her entire being radiating a sense of pain.
Chu Fei bit her lip and saw in the screen Xiao Ye appearing with the zombies.
Xiao Ye rescued the suit zombie on the operating table, moments away from being dissected.
The Lord, upon seeing so many zombies, not only showed no fear but displayed an expression of extreme greed.
"So many zombies, kill them all for me..."
The scene became chaotic.
Researchers unleashed their abilities while wielding their weapons.
However, they were horrified to discover that they couldn't harm Xiao Ye in the slightest.
Xiao Ye deflected an attack and dealt with the surrounding researchers.
A chilling glint appeared in his eyes.
Meng Yang saw Xiao Ye and his group surrounding him, the surrounding researchers all falling to the ground.
Meng Yang finally felt some pressure. He shouted sternly and urgently, "Do zombies dare to invade my base? Beware, I will destroy all of you."
Xiao Ye's expression was cold. "How do you intend to destroy us?"
Before Meng Yang could react.
He attacked Meng Yang without a word.
Meng Yang was sent flying backward, suffering severe injuries.
He clutched his chest, his eyes filled with shock.
"You are actually this powerful..."
Meng Yang struggled to get up and laughed like a madman. "Your core crystal must be beautiful."
A murderous intent flashed across Xiao Ye's face. He gathered his strength and raised his hand.
Just then, a barrage of sounds echoed from outside the door.
A group of ability users rushed in!
Upon seeing the laboratory filled with zombies, the ability users couldn't help but show shock.
Chu Fei exclaimed, "Lord, are you alright?"
Meng Yang saw the ability users and cried out in relief and urgency, "Quick, protect me, protect me!"
The ability users naturally obeyed Meng Yang, launching an attack on the zombies with hostility.
Xiao Ye advanced on the defiant Meng Yang.
Under the Lord's panicked gaze, Chu Fei quickly stepped in front of Meng Yang and unleashed her ability. "Xiao Ye, I will never let you kill the Lord again."
Xiao Ye was taken aback by Chu Fei's sudden charge.
He had already gathered his momentum and couldn't stop.
His power struck Chu Fei forcefully...
"Crack!"
Chu Fei's face turned pale, and she was sent flying on the spot.
