Chapter 18: Hunting the Zombie King

Bang!

Bang!

Boom!

The Armored Vehicle, which originally couldn't even be stopped by ordinary Sangshi, was now being forcibly blocked in place by a Mutant Zombie.

The thick armor, which even ordinary Zombie Groups couldn't gnaw through or dent, was being smashed into layers of indentations and twisted out of shape under the heavy fists of the giant zombie.

Every time the giant zombie landed a punch, it shook the inside of the Armored Vehicle with a constant roar, and the people inside felt the world spinning and their heads buzzing with dizziness.

One of the Armored Vehicles was even flipped over entirely by the destructive, immense strength of several Mutant Zombies, landing upside down on the ground and becoming an immobile iron turtle.

Under the frenzied siege of a group of giant zombies, in just a moment, both Armored Vehicles were completely smashed and torn apart.

The survivors inside were quickly grabbed by the swarming Mutant Zombies, torn to pieces, and devoured entirely.

Inside the building, Chen Yusheng retreated once again to the underground garage.

He had originally intended to rely on the deterrent power of the Warding Off Evil Talisman to forcibly charge out of the Zombie Group.

But as soon as he activated the Talisman, he realized something was wrong.

There were simply too many Sangshi nearby, packed tightly together; even if they were deterred by the Warding Off Evil Talisman and wanted to retreat, there was simply no room to dodge.

In this situation, it was already impossible for him to escape.

He could only immediately find a narrow corner and hold his ground with the Warding Off Evil Talisman.

In the corner of the underground garage, Chen Yusheng sat cross-legged.

Within ten meters around him, it was as if an invisible restricted zone had been drawn.

Countless ordinary Sangshi outside were roaring crazily, yet not a single one dared to step even half a step into the range of the Warding Off Evil Talisman.

In just a few minutes, the True Qi in Chen Yusheng's body had recovered by more than half.

Hiss—!

Suddenly, an unusually piercing hiss tore through the space of the underground garage.

Chen Yusheng looked up, and at the edge of his dim vision, several exceptionally sturdy Mutant Zombies slowly appeared, accompanied by several slender and swift agility-type zombies.

Hiss—!

Another sharp shriek rang out.

The next moment, these Mutant Zombies exerted their strength in unison and charged straight toward Chen Yusheng.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight Mutant Zombies had brazenly broken into the ten-meter range covered by the Warding Off Evil Talisman.

Roar, roar, roar—!

The power of the Warding Off Evil Talisman was triggered instantly, and a burning, restraining force descended upon the Mutant Zombies, causing them to let out extremely painful hisses.

Yet even so, these zombies still kept their eyes red, braving the intense pain to crazily close in on Chen Yusheng.

Chen Yusheng saw at a glance that the suppressive power of his Warding Off Evil Talisman against Mutant Zombies was far weaker than against ordinary Sangshi.

Seeing this, his expression changed drastically.

What shocked him even more was that as these Mutant Zombies forced their way in, the Spiritual Qi on the Warding Off Evil Talisman was being consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Can't let them get close!"

Chen Yusheng did not hesitate in the slightest; he reached into his bosom and pulled out a thick stack of Talismans.

These were all Soul-Suppressing Talismans he had drawn by hand that morning using zombie skin, thirty-odd in total.

"Go!"

He flicked his finger, and a Soul-Suppressing Talisman flew out of his hand, shooting toward the seven or eight Mutant Zombies that had broken into the Warding Off range.

The Soul-Suppressing Talisman flew about five meters through the air before suddenly exploding into a faint ripple of golden light.

The ripple expanded instantly, enveloping all the Mutant Zombies, and even affecting many ordinary Sangshi on the periphery.

The next second, the ordinary Sangshi ten meters away fell to the ground in rows, as if being mowed like grass.

But facing those few Mutant Zombies, the Soul-Suppressing Talisman only caused their movements to stall slightly, slowing their pace by a fraction.

Chen Yusheng had anticipated this; a single Soul-Suppressing Talisman simply could not suppress Mutant Zombies.

"Go!"

A second Soul-Suppressing Talisman was activated and flew out.

As the golden light dispersed, among the enveloped Mutant Zombies, several agility-type zombies were the first to be unable to hold on, and they collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Only a few giant Mutant Zombies remained, still swaying as if drunk, yet they continued to walk toward him with unwavering determination.

Chen Yusheng frowned tightly.

He hadn't expected that two Soul-Suppressing Talismans drawn with zombie skin would fail to completely suppress these giant Mutant Zombies.

However, he was not panicked; he still had plenty of Talismans in his hand.

"Go!"

A third Soul-Suppressing Talisman exploded in mid-air.

This time, the few remaining Mutant Zombies finally could not hold on any longer; their bodies trembled, and they fell straight to the ground.

Hiss—!

Just then, an even sharper, more violent hiss suddenly exploded.

The next moment, the entire tide of zombies seemed to be ignited instantly, erupting into a complete frenzy.

Countless ordinary Sangshi seemed to be forcibly controlled by an invisible force, completely disregarding the restraint of the Warding Off Evil Talisman, and desperately crossed the safety boundary, rushing crazily toward Chen Yusheng.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yusheng's heart was shaken violently.

"Damn it, it's the Zombie King!"

These ordinary Sangshi were clearly having their instincts forcibly suppressed by the Zombie King, having completely become puppets.

Fortunately, he knew clearly in his heart that even for a Zombie King, the number it could control while ignoring instinct to achieve such absolute control was very limited.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to see clearly that the ones truly charging over regardless of everything were just over a hundred ordinary Sangshi.

Chen Yusheng's brain operated at high speed.

He only had two complete Warding Off Evil Talismans left in his hand.

If he were to be continuously worn down by the Zombie King using the Zombie Group like this, it wouldn't be long before his Talismans were exhausted, and he would undoubtedly die.

With the Zombie King controlling things from behind the scenes, these Sangshi would besiege him endlessly.

Not to mention that his True Qi and Talismans were both running low now, even if he recovered to the peak cultivation of his past life, he could not withstand an infinite tide of Sangshi.

Therefore, there was only one way to survive right now—

Find the Zombie King and slaughter the Zombie King!

Having figured this out, Chen Yusheng no longer hesitated.

"Go!"

A Soul-Suppressing Talisman was flung out, and the hundred or so ordinary Sangshi charging head-on, along with a patch of the Zombie Group on the periphery, instantly collapsed to the ground in unison.

Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Yusheng's figure moved, charging directly toward the direction from which the hissing came.

Whoosh!

Another Soul-Suppressing Talisman left his hand.

Golden light swept across, and another large patch of Sangshi fell, forcibly clearing a path through the sea of corpses.

He did not stop his pace, stepping over the Sangshi fallen all over the ground, heading straight for the source of the sound.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

While sprinting wildly, Chen Yusheng kept flinging out Soul-Suppressing Talismans.

Hiss, hiss, hiss—!

Very soon, the Zombie King also sensed his intent, and the sharp screeching became increasingly urgent and violent.

Following this sound, more ordinary Sangshi threw themselves at him desperately to block his way.

But Chen Yusheng's Soul-Suppressing Talismans had a large range and great power, clearing the field with extreme speed; the speed at which the Zombie Group surrounded him could not keep up with his charging pace at all.

Hiss, hiss, hiss—!

The sharp hissing sounded one after another.

Chen Yusheng soon discovered something was wrong; he was approaching the sound, but the position of that hissing was also constantly moving and retreating.

In other words, he was chasing, and the Zombie King was fleeing.

Before long, Chen Yusheng had already charged to the entrance of the underground garage.

But as he appeared, that screeching instead grew further and further away.

He raised his hand and flung out a Soul-Suppressing Talisman, and a large patch of Sangshi at the entrance fell.

Hiss—!

The sharp hissing sounded once again.

Chen Yusheng looked up following the sound, his pupils shrinking suddenly.

A hundred meters away in mid-air, a little loli wearing a small pink dress was quietly hovering there.

That screeching which caused the entire tide of corpses to riot was coming from her mouth.

"This Zombie King... can actually fly?"

Chen Yusheng's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Against a Zombie King that could fly, he currently had no chance of winning at all.

He couldn't catch up in the cramped space of the underground garage, and now that he was out in the open, with dense crowds of Sangshi underfoot, it was an almost impossible task for him to catch up to a Zombie King that could fly.

Roar, roar, roar—!

The moment Chen Yusheng appeared at the garage entrance, Sangshi from all directions surged over crazily again.

He did not hesitate and flung out another Soul-Suppressing Talisman.

While clearing a gap, he quickly scanned the situation outside.

Outside the garage passage, it was already packed solid with Sangshi.

What made him even more solemn was that dozens of Mutant Zombies in the distance were gathering toward that small pink figure at high speed.

It was very clear that this Zombie King was extremely wary of him.

After escaping from the underground garage, it did not order a siege at the first opportunity, but instead had all the Mutant Zombies guard in front of it, striking a posture of strict defense.

It could be seen that this Zombie King was terrified of Chen Yusheng's methods.
