Chapter 1059

Roar!

Roar!!

At the edge of the Corpse Horde, a large number of Red Tower Zombies, upon noticing Lin An and the others approaching, suddenly turned like wild dogs and began to hiss and roar.

However, aside from hissing and roaring, these zombies had no further action.

Grabbing Zhang Tie with one hand and Mo Ling with the other, Lin An blended in without changing expression. With two big and one small, the three were like a dolphin mixed among sardines, flexibly squeezing through the Corpse Horde.

"Holy shit, Lin Dui, a zombie is scratching my ass..."

With a mournful face, the tallest Zhang Tie lowered his head, following Lin An and constantly pushing aside nearby zombies; the strong smell of blood and rot almost made him faint.

He enviously looked at the mask on Lin An's face, knowing that Lin An didn't need to breathe at all.

Beside them, little Mo Ling walked along behind Lin An like a sleepwalker, expressionless.

She glanced at Zhang Tie, whose face was as bitter as melon, and let out a cold laugh:

"The zombies in the city smell worse, some even crawl up from the sewers."

For Mo Ling, who often deals with zombies, a blood corpse that hasn't rotted much is practically fragrant.

"Holy shit, I'm not complaining about the smell! I can't stand this ghostly thing grabbing me!"

"Damn! Still grabbing! Fuck!"

Walking in front, Lin An listened to the two bickering over the squad channel, and turned his head somewhat helplessly.

"Almost there, Mo Ling."

"Get ready to control the zombies; we're about to enter the mutant zone."

Watching the Red Tower Mutants constantly running on zombie heads in the distance, Lin An, lost in thought, pushed aside a zombie that had come up to sniff him.

The behavior of these third-rank mutants actually gave him a feeling like a shepherd.

After hearing Lin An's order, little Mo Ling's expression tightened, and a faint deathly aura instantly emanated from her body, spreading silently outward.

A few seconds later, with an invisible wave, the Red Tower Zombies within a hundred meters around the three suddenly stiffened, then shortly returned to normal.

"All right."

Mo Ling gave a slight nod to Lin An, indicating that control had succeeded.

The consumption wasn't large; after merging with the infant ghost, she clearly felt her internal death energy reserves increase by three or four times, and even more.

"Hiss—whoosh!!"

In the red corpse tide, a third-rank mutant hunched its body, its red eyes filling the sockets, staring fixedly at the corpse horde beneath its feet.

It irritably stepped on the corpse horde, and in no time, its huge shovel-like hands swiftly scooped up zombies and brought them before its eyes.

"Roar!!"

The roar shook the heavens, and viscous spittle dripped from its split maw onto the zombies' faces.

The zombies snatched up were like wood, blankly following the roar.

Standing in the corpse horde, Zhang Tie stiffened his spine, motionlessly watching the third-rank mutant swaying back and forth before him.

His heart pounded; at such close range, if discovered, the three of them would likely be instantly drained to death by the corpse tide.

Besides Lin An being able to escape, he and Mo Ling would surely die here.

Oh, no... Mo Ling can also run...

Feeling stifled in his heart, as they neared the core, large numbers of third-rank mutants gradually increased.

Just the third-rank mutants he saw numbered over thirty; under their overlapping auras, the air seemed to congeal.

"Lin Dui, this bunch of ghosts seems to have noticed something abnormal, huh?"

"Do they have brains?"

Within the squad channel, Xiong Hanzi voiced his doubtful question in a low voice; under extreme tension, he felt sweat all over his body.

"Damn it, over thirty third-rank mutants—this lineup is terrifying."

Without a reply, Lin An slightly waved his hand, signaling Mo Ling to temporarily stop moving.

Whether or not their obvious push into the core was too conspicuous, these Red Tower Mutants, like patrols, had begun to irritably search everywhere for an "abnormality."

Although they couldn't understand what had happened, in their faint intelligence they instinctively sensed something was wrong.

"It's probably because we're moving the corpse horde we're leading too fast."

"The whole corpse horde is moving south, but we're going the opposite direction—too obvious."

Lin An let out a quiet sigh, a flicker of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

Having the zombies surround them was undoubtedly the safest, but dragging the zombies along meant he had to keep within normal speed no matter how much he hurried.

Moreover, the closer to the core, the denser the corpse horde became, making it harder to push through.

Several times, while leading the controlled zombies into the horde, even conflicts broke out among the zombies themselves.

After a moment's thought, Lin An quickly issued the order:

"Mo Ling, first control the distant zombies to attack nearby mutants; draw their attention."

"We don't need to control so many zombies around us; just have a few circle us."

"If you spot a mutant getting too close to us, immediately control zombies around it to attack it!"

Mo Ling nodded firmly, then, after receiving the order, directly looked toward the distant corpse horde.

A few seconds later, the controlled Red Tower Zombies abruptly turned direction and bit at the restless mutant.

"Roar!!"

Chaos erupted, and tearing bites began.

The bitten Red Tower Mutant, looking as if surprised at the zombie biting its leg, then, in a fit of violent instinct, tore the zombie apart with a single claw.

At the same time, under Mo Ling's control, successive chaos in the corpse horde provoked large numbers of mutants to instinctively investigate.

"Go!"

Without hesitation, seeing the chaos take effect, Lin An swiftly brought the two people forward, accelerating toward the core.

One hour and three minutes later.

Looking at the destroyed buildings in the distance, Lin An slightly slowed his speed and looked around.

The ground was a sheet of scorched black, with floating dust and large amounts of building debris covering the earth.

Without a doubt, this place was already on the edge of the nuclear blast.

Gazing far into the distance, a huge pit could be faintly seen at the town's center. Near the pit, a massive horde of zombies surged out continuously like ants.

From the large expanses of carbonized red shadows on the ground, it could be seen that the nuclear blast had indeed killed many zombies. But under the constant replenishment, the place was quickly filled again by a zombie tide.

That place... should be the core.

As long as we get inside, we should be able to find out what actually happened inside.

Moving forward without a change in expression while leading the zombies, after a moment Lin An frowned.

Standing on a piece of rubble blown up by the shockwave, at this distance he could already make out the general situation of the pit.

The pit continuously spewing zombies looked like the gate of hell, dark and unfathomable. The area hit by the nuclear bomb was further covered with a layer of vaporized quartz.
