Chapter 23: Mistaking the Zombie King

"Activate night vision mode, be careful when operating."

"Relay signal drone, descend quickly; FPV drone, get ready."

Several hundred meters high in the air, a large drone descended rapidly.

It took only thirty seconds for this drone to hover steadily at the entrance of the underground garage.

Just as this drone landed, several Flying Type Sangshi in the distance were rapidly approaching this side.

The moment the large drone hovered at the entrance of the underground garage, the FPV drone, which had already activated its night vision mode, immediately flew into the interior of the garage.

Through the night vision lens, the scene inside the underground garage was clearly transmitted to the control screen.

"Fly inside."

The drone pilot operated the FPV drone, continuing to fly toward the depths of the garage.

Ten-plus seconds later.

"I see it! My god, so many Sangshi, it's full of Sangshi in here!" Watching the situation on the screen, the onlookers couldn't help but exclaim.

Roar, roar, roar!

The instant the drone discovered the Sangshi inside the underground garage, countless Sangshi were also startled by the noise and stared in unison at the drone.

The drone's sound was so loud, it would be difficult not to be discovered.

Not only did the ordinary Sangshi hear the commotion, but Chen Yusheng, who was in the middle of cultivation, heard it too.

Hearing the sound of the drone, Chen Yusheng's expression sank instantly.

"Damn it, the He Family really is like a lingering ghost!"

Chen Yusheng stood up and walked quickly in the direction of the drone.

He had just successfully opened the Meridian and Acupoint at his heart, and he could now perform fire-type Technique.

The simplest among the fire-type Technique is the Fireball Technique.

He had used this move so skillfully in his past life that there was no issue of being unfamiliar with it at all.

With the Fireball Technique, in this kind of enclosed and narrow underground garage, he had full confidence in being able to shoot the drone down.

Chen Yusheng walked quickly toward the drone, with seven Mutant Zombie following closely by his side.

He held a Warding Off Evil Talisman in his hand, and the surrounding ordinary Sangshi all retreated in a panic as soon as they got close.

Very quickly, Chen Yusheng saw that drone emitting a red light.

The infrared emission device on the front of the drone was invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people, but Chen Yusheng channeled his True Qi into his eyes and saw it clearly.

Just as Chen Yusheng saw the drone and prepared to get closer to deal with it.

Suddenly, the drone tilted violently, crashed hard into a pillar at an angle, and with a "snap," it fell to the ground, the propellers smashed to pieces.

"What's the situation? How did it fall down on its own?" Chen Yusheng looked surprised.

He never expected that the drone would just be scrapped like this.

Before the drone hit the pillar and fell, at the entrance of the underground garage, a Flying Type Sangshi had just happened to shoot down that large relay drone.

After the large drone crashed, it was torn to shreds by the Sangshi on the spot, and then the signal in the underground garage was completely cut off.

Without the signal, the pilot had no way to continue controlling the FPV drone, and it was only then that the out-of-control drone crashed directly into the pillar.

This series of events was entirely a coincidence.

At this time, outside the city.

A group of people were staring at the footage sent back by the drone, checking it repeatedly.

"Sure enough, the Sangshi are all hiding; this underground garage is densely packed with Sangshi."

A middle-aged man said while watching the video.

"Indeed, I didn't expect the Zombie King to be so cunning, actually hiding all the Zombie Group. If Zhou Laoda hadn't discovered something was wrong, we might have really thought there was no problem here."

"Exactly, if we had really been fooled by it, once this Zombie King became stronger and could control more Sangshi, our Base would be in danger."

As the few were talking, the video played to the end.

"Hey? Wait!" An old man suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?"

"Adjust the video to the last few seconds." The old man instructed the drone pilot.

"Old Wang, what did you discover?"

"You'll know in a moment, I hope my eyes aren't deceiving me." The old man referred to as Old Wang shook his head.

Very quickly, the pilot pulled the video back to the last ten seconds to play.

At this moment, everyone focused their attention on the screen.

Time passed bit by bit, and the footage soon reached the last few seconds.

"Stop!" The old man ordered immediately.

Hearing the order, the pilot hurriedly pressed the pause button.

In the current frame, several Mutant Zombie with unusually large builds walked out from a corner.

"Mutant Zombie! And more than one!" Someone exclaimed on the spot.

"Not just that, look here." The old man pointed to a position in the frame, "This guy is being protected in the middle by a group of Mutant Zombie."

Everyone looked carefully and, sure enough, in the middle of a group of Mutant Zombie, they saw a figure that looked no different from an ordinary Sangshi.

And as this figure appeared, the surrounding ordinary Sangshi actually all took the initiative to clear a path for him.

"This must be the Zombie King, right? It looks exactly like an ordinary Sangshi; if it weren't for being protected by Mutant Zombie and the ordinary Sangshi taking the initiative to yield, we would never have been able to discover it!"

"Now there is one piece of good news and one piece of bad news. The good news is that we successfully found the Zombie King, and the bad news is that there really is a Zombie King here."

"Play these few seconds of video a few more times to see." The old man instructed the pilot again.

Upon hearing this, the drone operator immediately replayed the last few seconds over and over again.

After confirming it back and forth, everyone finally determined that there was truly a Zombie King inside.

None of them knew that the Zombie King they were so certain about was actually Chen Yusheng.

To disguise himself as a Sangshi, Chen Yusheng had specifically worn a set of tattered clothes, and combined with the previous battle, he was covered in dirt and mess.

The lighting in the basement was already dim, and the night-vision footage was gray and white, lacking clarity.

Under these conditions, it was not at all strange for a normal person to mistake him for a Zombie King.

……

Inside the underground garage.

Chen Yusheng looked at the broken drone and concluded that the people from the He Family must be outside.

"Xiao Liu, go out and check the situation," Chen Yusheng ordered an Agility-type Mutant Zombie.

An Agility-type Mutant Zombie could run up to seventy or eighty kilometers per hour on flat ground, making it perfectly suited for reconnaissance.

Hearing Chen Yusheng's command, an Agility-type Mutant Zombie immediately dashed out of the underground garage.

In less than a minute, this Mutant Zombie ran back.

"Is there anyone outside? If there is someone, roar once; if there is no one, roar twice."

"Roar, roar!"

"No one? Are you sure? If you are sure, roar once."

"Roar!"

Chen Yusheng was somewhat surprised; there was actually not a single person outside.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yusheng decided to go upstairs to take a look.

"Let's go!"

At Chen Yusheng's command, he immediately led several Mutant Zombies toward the stairwell leading upstairs.

Very quickly, Chen Yusheng brought the Mutant Zombies to the first floor.

The first floor was completely quiet, with not a single sound of a person.

Then he went up to the second floor, and the second floor was likewise empty.

Chen Yusheng thought for a moment and led the Sangshi directly to the roof.

After arriving at the roof, he stood at the edge and looked out.

Within his field of vision, there was not even a shadow of a person outside; he looked up at the sky and discovered no other drones, only a few Flying Type zombie birds circling above.

Just as Chen Yusheng saw those few zombie birds, the zombie birds also discovered him and immediately flew toward him.

"Soul Suppression!"

Chen Yusheng raised his hand and quickly drew a talisman in the air.

In just a few seconds, the moment the zombie birds rushed to within ten meters of him.

He flicked his finger, and the Soul Suppression Talisman exploded on the spot; the few zombie birds instantly stiffened and then plummeted down.

These were all Sangshi with strong physical bodies, so they did not suffer much injury from the fall.

Chen Yusheng glanced at them, walked over to a zombified crow, picked it up, and threw several fireballs at the remaining ones.

As soon as the fireballs landed on the zombie birds, they burned fiercely, turning them into a pile of ash in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yusheng stepped forward to take a look; there was only a soybean-sized Crystal Core in the ashes.

Chen Yusheng couldn't even be bothered to look at such a small Crystal Core.

Just as Chen Yusheng was casually dealing with those few Flying Type Sangshi.

Inside a tall building several hundred meters away, a pair of blood-red eyes were eerily staring at his figure.

Seeing Chen Yusheng burn the zombie birds to ash with a few fireballs, a trace of fear appeared in its eyes.
