Chapter 155: Corpse Nest

~7 min read 1,214 words

At this moment, a giant turtle the size of a bus was rushing about on the street, moving rapidly toward the city center.

And Fugaku, Bai Xiaofei, and Kaiweinai were standing on the back of this giant turtle-shaped zombie; this zombie's physique was colossal, its carapace flat, enough to accommodate several people standing and moving. Moreover, this turtle zombie's speed was shockingly fast; its four limbs swept away all obstacles like bulldozers.

The wrecked cars and crooked billboards on the street were fragile before it, instantly pushed aside, emitting a piercing sound of metal grinding.

Fugaku stood steadily at the very front of the turtle's carapace, scanning the road ahead.

And Bai Xiaofei stood beside Fugaku, his eyes still holding a few traces of trance. His gaze would occasionally glance toward Fugaku, his mind constantly replaying that inconceivable scene from just now.

Fugaku merely glanced indifferently at this zombie, and the next second, this colossus lay down obediently like a tamed pet, letting them step onto its back.

He couldn't help but steal a glance at Fugaku beside him, muttering inwardly: "Just what is this guy's background?"

Meanwhile, Kaiweinai was like a curious baby, looking around nonstop. He crouched down, carefully reached out his hand, and gently stroked the hard, rough turtle shell under his feet. "Wow, Cousin, you touch it too, this feeling is too amazing!"

Bai Xiaofei glared at him annoyedly: "Don't mess around! Now is not the time to play."

The giant turtle zombie continued forward, soon arriving at a large bridge spanning the river. Just as it stepped onto the bridge deck, a sudden change occurred.

At this moment, a deafening boom came from underwater.

"Boom!"

The water surface churned violently as if boiling, and a colossus broke out of the water. It was a giant fish-type zombie over ten meters long; turbid water droplets refracted eerie light in the sunlight.

It opened its bloody mouth, revealing rows of teeth sharp as knives, lunging fiercely at the group.

"Holy shit!" Kaiweinai exclaimed, plopping down on the turtle's back, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

Bai Xiaofei instantly tensed all his muscles, his right hand already touching the giant sword at his waist. His gaze turned sharp, ready to strike at any moment.

However, Fugaku still stood in place with arms crossed, his expression not changing in the slightest, as if he hadn't seen it at all.

Just at the moment the fish zombie was about to touch the turtle's carapace, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and a powerful chakra fluctuation instantly erupted around him.

The next instant, a giant skeletal arm composed of black energy suddenly condensed into shape beside Fugaku.

The skeletal arm moved swiftly, grabbing the fish zombie's head in one clutch. The enormous force brought the fish zombie's momentum to an abrupt halt; it thrashed wildly, the Sharingan in Fugaku's eyes slowly rotating, the skeletal arm's power suddenly increasing,

"Crunch!"

The bone claws tightened, the fish zombie's hard scales instantly cracking. Accompanied by a tooth-grinding squeezing sound, that massive body burst like a crushed watermelon, instantly exploding into a mass of blood and flesh.

The whole process took only a few short seconds; Bai Xiaofei and Kaiweinai hadn't even had time to react before the battle was already over, the two staring dumbfounded at Fugaku, unable to speak for a moment.

Kaiweinai widened his eyes, his mouth open wide enough to stuff an egg in. He stared blankly at that dissipating skeletal arm, stammering: "Th-this is what? Too cool! Can you teach me?"

Fugaku said indifferently: "No, this is my unique ability."

Then he turned his head to look ahead, a trace of gravity flashing in his eyes. "Hold on tight, we're accelerating."

Voice not yet fallen, the turtle zombie underfoot suddenly shuddered. Its massive limbs suddenly accelerated, as if four motors had simultaneously gone to full power. The turtle's speed instantly skyrocketed, the surrounding scenery instantly turning into blurred light and shadow.

Bai Xiaofei and Kaiweinai were caught off guard, nearly thrown off the turtle's back by this sudden acceleration. They hurriedly grabbed the protrusions on the turtle shell, stabilizing their footing.

As the distance closed, that giant red cube in the distance gradually revealed its ferocious true appearance. Where was it a cube? It was clearly a disgusting building pieced together from countless zombies.

Countless twisted, deformed human bodies writhed on its surface; some zombies only showed half a head, some an arm or leg, some even only a single constantly rotating eyeball.

Rotting flesh chunks kept falling off, then filled in by new flesh and blood. Foul-smelling pus seeped from the cracks, pooling into nauseating mud puddles on the ground.

Fugaku's expression was grave, controlling the turtle to slowly approach this hair-raising building. As the distance closed, they discovered a fully armed army was already stationed around it.

Seeing Fugaku and the others appear, the soldiers immediately aimed their weapons at Fugaku's group. A tense atmosphere instantly spread.

Just at this moment, a sharp shout tore through the air: "Halt, who goes there!"

As soon as the voice fell, a man wielding twin blades strode out, looking at Fugaku with a grave expression.

That man wore a pair of special glasses, the lenses flashing with an eerie blue light, as if conducting some kind of scan, rows of data flashing across the eyes.

Suddenly, his expression changed, his pupils sharply contracting; he saw written on them: 【Uchiha Fugaku, Foreign Specially Appointed Member, Scanning Energy Value 300,000】.

"Damn, internal energy value is at least Earth-rank peak." He sucked in a cold breath, then quickly signaled the surrounding soldiers to retreat, "Our own people, it's fine."

Only then did the soldiers slowly lower their weapons.

Then, that man suddenly switched to a strange accent, saying to Fugaku: "Me, Yanzhuang Te Neng Dui Squad Four Xiao Lin, you, what work you come do."

Fugaku frowned slightly, looking at this self-proclaimed Xiao Lin with a strange expression. He didn't acknowledge the other's weird way of speaking, asking straight to the point: "Is the Corpse King inside here?"

Xiao Lin heard this, his face instantly showing a trace of embarrassment. He scratched his head, saying somewhat sheepishly: "You can speak Yanzhuang language ah."

Fugaku still had no expression, merely nodding lightly; Bai Xiaofei and the other couldn't help but snicker on the side.

Xiao Lin coughed embarrassedly, quickly adjusting his tone and posture. "Sorry, occupational habit just now. That's right, the Corpse King is inside this, uh, Corpse Nest. Special Ability Squad Two's people have already gone in."

Fugaku nodded: "Understood. Then we'll go in and take a look too."

"Wait," Xiao Lin hurriedly said, "There's a problem. After Squad One went in, the Corpse Nest automatically closed."

Fugaku heard this, walking slowly toward the Corpse Nest. Standing close, looking up, this giant tower piled of flesh and blood was hundreds of meters high, wrapping an entire street inside.

"The Corpse King's location is inside here?" Fugaku murmured, a trace of gravity flashing in his eyes. He could sense that in the depths of this giant tower piled of flesh and blood, a heart-palpitating powerful aura was constantly surging.

"Looks like, if we want to enter, we can only force a breakthrough." Fugaku murmured in a low voice.
