They knew the zombies wouldn’t act without the Zombie King’s orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is the Zombie King, the one commanding the entire horde?” Bian Junwu muttered, raising an eyebrow as he studied the trembling creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Di let out a loud laugh. “I thought it’d be some kind of unstoppable beast if it could control a horde this big. Turns out it’s a weak little thing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili Changqing, however, remained composed. “This actually makes sense,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s the brain of the horde or some kind of control-type superhuman, it doesn’t need to be physically strong. It just needs to command from the back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Siyu stroked her chin thoughtfully. “No wonder it doesn’t dare launch a full-scale attack on human settlements. Its body is too weak, so it has to keep a large portion of the horde and armored zombies nearby for protection.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With combat abilities this poor, even an ordinary adult could kill it,” she concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding armored zombies growled again, clearly agitated, but without direction from their leader, they hesitated to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-furred monkey shrieked oddly, its eyes filled with a mixture of fear and resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Junwu pressed his gun to the creature’s head. “Order them to kill each other,” he demanded coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of hatred flashed in the monkey’s eyes, and its cries grew louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the six armored zombies roared in unison and charged at the team, the creature having chosen to go down fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili Changqing spat on the ground, gripped his lance tightly, and grinned. “Looks like it wants a fight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body radiated black energy, enveloping him like a shroud. With the strength of a titan, he charged into the fray, his lance sweeping out in a deadly arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one devastating strike, all six armored zombies were cleaved in half. Green blood sprayed through the air, mingled with the shattered remains of crimson bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! Who’s next?” Baili Changqing roared, his voice echoing through the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite their terrifying strength, the armored zombies were no match for the deputy captain of the investigation team,Iron Grip Baili Changqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the tunnel reverberated with distant roars as the horde surged forward, summoned by the Zombie King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Junwu narrowed his eyes at the creature beneath his gun. “You’re not playing fair,” he muttered coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing that the horde would soon surround them, Bian Junwu made a swift decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gunshot rang out, and the monkey’s head exploded. Its body collapsed lifelessly, its skull punctured by a massive hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, Meng Siyu pulled a body bag from her pack and carefully stored the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team retreated from the subway, emerging through the nearest exit back to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What awaited them was a shocking sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the pale expanse of the snowy plains, tens of thousands of zombies had gathered, standing motionless and gazing toward the subway entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Zombie King to guide them, they appeared disoriented, their movements slow and aimless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ve lost their coordination,” Bian Junwu remarked, watching the scene with a calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Siyu nodded. “Without a leader, even a massive horde like this can’t pose a serious threat to large human settlements.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intelligent zombies were an entirely different challenge compared to mindless ones. Without direction, even the largest horde could be managed with time and resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few zombies spotted the team and charged, their eyes glowing red with aggression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s move,” Bian Junwu ordered. “No need to waste time here. They’ll decay soon enough without a leader to sustain them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombies, being mere carriers of the virus, would rapidly deteriorate without sustenance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team swiftly returned to their vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, clusters of zombies wandered aimlessly, paying no mind to the armored vehicle. After clearing a small group blocking their path, the team loaded the monkey’s body into the car and drove off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their next task was to analyze the corpse, uncovering its biological secrets and searching for clues about the zombie virus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the vehicle, Meng Siyu donned a white protective suit and began dissecting the body on a portable surgical table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others rested in shifts, their rest brief and uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As dawn broke, the pale light of day spilling across the frozen wasteland, Meng Siyu removed her gloves and looked up at Bian Junwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was solemn as she delivered her findings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not a monkey or any type of primate,” she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What we’re dealing with... was once human.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Author's Note\u003C\u002Fp>",952,"2026-06-03T02:47:19.037Z","2026-06-03T02:47:23.880Z",1,"novelbin.me","cee8c6480cecba92cd2ccd9aad0313b42398b01af13cf1dff22cfdea7eab088a","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-470","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-468",1370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-cover.jpg"]
