Chapter 344: Endless Zombie Tide

Underground building complex.

The alloy-cast rooms were somewhat damaged, with wires exposed where violent blasts had blown them open.

Sparks hissed as they flew.

After setting up a psychic sound barrier, Lin An then threw Bolaka onto the ground.

The kicked-up dust choked the nose.

"I ask, you answer."

"One sentence of nonsense, one hand."

As always brief, Lin An casually controlled an alloy plate to serve as a seat, his calm gaze fixed on the frightened Bolaka Emperor.

"What is the origin of the zombies?"

"How much do you know about the Black Tower?"

"Why don't zombies normally leave the city?"

"Or perhaps you know some secret."

"Don't try to conceal it; speak clearly, and I can spare your life for now."

His voice was ice-cold.

Bolaka, who had long held a high position and lived in luxury, trembled at the sound.

He dared not hesitate.

A floating alloy fragment hovered before his brow, as if it would pierce his brain in the next second.

He rapidly formulated words in his mind.

Bolaka swallowed hard, unable to guess Lin An and his companions' origins:

"The origin of the zombies..."

"I'm not entirely sure either."

"Ah!"

As soon as his words fell, the alloy fragment under telekinetic control sliced off one of his fingers.

He cried out in pain.

His face twisted as he clutched his finger and rolled about, desperately explaining:

"Sir! Sir! I'm not lying!"

"Before the apocalypse, I was truly just a researcher!"

He dared not pause for a single word.

"I swear!"

"At the very start of the catastrophe, zombies appeared in cities everywhere; caught off guard, many of the original high-level officials also turned into zombies."

"Thus the whole world fell into chaos like a pot of porridge."

"I too survived by luckily hiding in the military region's laboratory."

"Although many say the zombie origin is a virus leak, I have heard another theory!"

"Just speculation! In that speculation, zombies originated from the high tower!"

"This news also once leaked from a large safe zone."

"But I truly don't know!"

Black Tower.

Another one claiming the zombie origin lies in the Black Tower.

Gao Tian beside him flashed a hint of astonishment in his eyes, unable to resist urging:

"What is that high tower? Is it a place or a building?!"

Bolaka let out a breath, not daring to conceal:

"The high tower is a building located in the former central district of the greatest metropolis, the capital of Bordeaux!"

"No one knows how it appeared; it seemed to materialize out of thin air."

"Some say they once saw zombies continuously marching out of the high tower there, leading to rumors that the high tower is the zombies' source."

"But I think that's wrong."

"Zombies clearly erupted all over the world; they did not come from a single place."

"Of course, perhaps the later zombies emerged from there..."

Lin An frowned upon hearing that.

"Later?"

"What do you mean?!"

Bolaka stared at Lin An in shock, his face full of astonishment.

"What happened later?"

After the catastrophe, everyone knew zombies would keep appearing endlessly, as if they could never be killed.

There was no time to wonder why Lin An didn't know; he had no choice but to steel himself and explain:

"Sir, the 'later' means that the subsequent zombies might emerge from the high tower."

"Zombies cannot be completely killed; we once calculated that."

"At first, a faction wanted to join us to slaughter all zombies."

"Although many obstacles arose midway, many factions still agreed at the time."

"But during the six-month cleanup, we found that no matter how we killed them, zombies could not be eradicated; after each area was cleared, a new wave would always surge forth."

"From then we realized zombies cannot be completely killed."

I don't know the specific reason either. But many faction leaders privately speculate that perhaps someone in the high tower is producing zombies.

After saying that, Bolaka carefully observed Lin An's complexion, constantly guessing who this group of 'people' actually were.

This news was nothing to the other survivors who had already accepted it.

But for Lin An, it was no less than a bolt from the blue.

Zombies can't be killed off!?

In that case, it could explain why all the major safe zones seemed to have resigned themselves, no longer even thinking of restoring the world to normal.

However many are killed, more keep appearing; I'm afraid that in the war of clearing zombies back then...

I fear that after confirming this news, all sides' forces have once despaired.

Gao Tian noticed Lin An's complexion suddenly turn ugly, and his own heart sank as well.

Could this be the greatest danger posed by the 【Amoeba Worm】 in the world?

An endless, unkillable zombie?

Have you guys been to the high tower to have a look!?

Isn't there anyone who wants to figure out what's actually going on?

Gao Tian raised the question in Lin An's stead, just as Bolaka couldn't comprehend their power, he also couldn't imagine how zombies could keep regenerating.

Bolaka hesitated for a moment, then voiced his speculation:

Sir.

The area around the high tower has too many zombies, so many that we simply cannot pass through on foot.

It's not that no forces are willing to risk an investigation.

Near the airspace above the high tower there is strong radiation interference, making it difficult to approach easily.

But it's said that some forces indeed formed an aviation brigade that risked death to pass through.

In the end, they only sent back some pictures, and nothing else.

Oh, you are not Te Luo Yi...

Bolaka seemed to realize something, and then shut his mouth.

Te Luo Yi Safe Zone has done this before.

They expended great manpower and material resources, sending precious aircraft to the high tower to investigate secrets, but found nothing.

As a result, that loss caused Te Luo Yi to decline.

After thinking, Bolaka added:

But wanting to enter the high tower is impossible...

High-altitude radiation, ground zombie tide.

Without hundreds of thousands of troops landing together, breaking through is impossible...

Huh?

Bolaka paused again, his eyes flickering.

After a moment's thought, he swallowed and said:

Sir.

People like us might not be able to get in, but who knows.

You can...

In his view, Lin An and the others possessed strength beyond imagination.

No matter how many zombie tides, there's hardly anything that could stop Lin An's steps, right?

Perhaps the secret of the high tower could be solved by this group of weirdos.
