Chapter 30: Re-encountering the Zombie King

While Chen Yusheng was buried underground digging a tunnel, the surface was already in total chaos.

As soon as the humans made their move, they immediately infuriated the Zombie King hiding in the city district.

Very quickly, countless Sangshi rushed toward the human camp like madmen.

But the humans had long since prepared plenty of weapons and ammunition; ordinary Sangshi were just throwing their lives away, proving to be no match at all.

As for those Mutant Zombies, they were also being held firmly in place by the elite Ability Users on the human side, unable to move.

As time passed, the human encirclement tightened, and the besieging Zombie Group was forced to retreat continuously.

……

Underground, Chen Yusheng had no idea how long he had been commanding the Sangshi to dig.

Suddenly, the Sangshi in front of him stopped abruptly, having dug into an empty space.

"Is this... a sewer?"

Upon seeing the scene before him, Chen Yusheng was stunned on the spot.

He never expected that while digging along with a few Mutant Zombies, he would end up directly in the city sewer.

This sewer was exceptionally spacious, similar to a small tunnel.

The bottom was covered in a layer of water, reaching almost to the knees.

"If this is a sewer, maybe I can follow it straight out of the city."

But looking at the two forks in front of him, Chen Yusheng couldn't decide which way to go.

"Left or right?"

"To determine the direction, I'd have to go to the surface, but once I go up, it's easy to be discovered..."

Even though Chen Yusheng had become much stronger through his Technique, he still couldn't withstand human guns and ammunition.

He quickly recalled the direction he had been digging from the underground mall in his mind, compared it to the location outside the city, and finally gritted his teeth and chose the left.

He felt that this was the direction leading out of the city.

Chen Yusheng didn't want to step in the dirty water and get his pant legs and shoes soaked, so he simply climbed onto the back of an agile-type Mutant Zombie.

This kind of agile Sangshi naturally ran on four legs, and its back was flat and stable, making it the perfect mount.

If it were a giant Sangshi, he would have to lie flat on top of it, which would be a huge hassle.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

With a few Sangshi carrying Chen Yusheng, they moved forward through the sewer at a steady pace.

He didn't know how far they had gone when a fork appeared ahead.

Just then, Chen Yusheng's ears suddenly twitched.

"Stop!"

He immediately whispered a command to the few Mutant Zombies.

The next second, the entire sewer went silent.

But the silence didn't last a minute before a chaotic sound of footsteps came from not far ahead.

"People?" Chen Yusheng's expression darkened.

"Could it be that the He Family chased me underground?"

This thought immediately popped into his mind.

His brain began to spin rapidly.

If it really was the He Family, as long as there weren't too many of them, he might be able to fight.

This was a sewer junction; as long as he didn't make a sound, it wouldn't be easy for the other side to discover him.

In such a narrow space, no matter how many people they had, they wouldn't be able to maneuver, and he could easily launch a sneak attack.

He had four giant Sangshi and one agile Sangshi with him, giving him a huge advantage in close-quarters combat.

More importantly, he, Chen Yusheng, was no longer the waste he once was.

Now, with his Thunder Method, as long as the distance was close enough, he could take down a whole group with one strike.

Having made up his mind, Chen Yusheng immediately directed the Mutant Zombies to hide behind the corner, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the He Family.

Time ticked by second by second.

Chen Yusheng quietly poked half his head out from behind the corner.

The footsteps grew closer and more dense, and soon, the appearance of the newcomers became clear before his eyes.

But the moment he saw that scene, Chen Yusheng's pupils shrank violently.

What did he see?

It wasn't people coming at all, but a large group of Mutant Zombies!

And sitting on the back of an agile-type Mutant Zombie was a little girl wearing a small pink dress.

Chen Yusheng had seen this little girl before; she was the little loli Zombie King he had encountered earlier.

Only now, the little loli looked extremely disheveled; her pink dress was filthy, her hair was a mess, and her complexion was terrible.

"Why did this Zombie King run into the sewer?"

"Could it be... the He Family didn't find me, but went to deal with this Zombie King first?"

Various thoughts flew through Chen Yusheng's mind.

Just as the Zombie King was about twenty meters from where he was hiding, suddenly—

A sharp, ear-piercing shriek exploded!

All the Mutant Zombies stopped in their tracks instantly, and over a dozen giant Sangshi rushed forward, shielding the little loli Zombie King tightly behind them.

Seeing this, Chen Yusheng quickly pulled his head back.

His heart skipped a beat; had he already been discovered?

"Hiss—!"

Another sharp hiss rang out.

Chen Yusheng immediately heard a burst of rapid footsteps rushing over; he turned his head to look and saw a nimble Sangshi sprinting toward his side.

By this point, Chen Yusheng could basically confirm that the Zombie King had already sensed something was wrong here.

However, the opponent most likely was not yet certain it was him and had only sent one Sangshi over to check the situation.

It was also possible the Zombie King had simply discovered a fork in the road ahead and sent a subordinate to scout the path.

If the Zombie King truly knew he was here, it probably wouldn't have sent anyone over at all, but would have turned around and run straight away, just like last time in the underground garage.

Thinking of this, Chen Yusheng immediately ordered the few Sangshi to surround him, blocking all lines of sight.

The nimble Sangshi was extremely fast; just as Chen Yusheng finished hiding, it had already rushed to the fork in the road.

Upon seeing several giant Sangshi crowded at the corner, the nimble Sangshi immediately let out a low growl.

As soon as the roar fell, the Zombie King in the distance moved immediately.

It brought dozens of Mutant Zombie with it and rushed toward this side at high speed.

Chen Yusheng could not understand what the Sangshi were roaring about, but from the Zombie King's movements, he could tell that the opponent thought there was no longer any danger here.

The dense sound of footsteps soon reached the vicinity of the corner.

In his hand, Chen Yusheng had already quietly pulled out a stack of Soul-Suppressing Talismans.

The footsteps stopped at the corner, and immediately after, the Zombie King's sharp hiss rang out.

Following this hiss, Chen Yusheng suddenly felt that the talisman seal he used to refine the Sangshi was actually vibrating slightly.

"This Zombie King... is it trying to forcibly control the Sangshi I refined?"

"It seems it really hasn't discovered it's me!"

Joy welled up in Chen Yusheng's heart.

The next moment, he no longer hesitated; he directly had the giant Sangshi clear a path, while simultaneously raising his hand to activate the Soul-Suppressing Talismans one by one, throwing them rapidly toward the Zombie King's side.

The moment the giant Sangshi moved aside, the Zombie King saw Chen Yusheng, who had been hidden in the middle, at a single glance.

The instant it saw clearly that it was him, the little girl Zombie King's eyes instantly erupted with extreme terror.

"Hiss—!"

The Zombie King let out a shrill scream and turned to flee.

But it was already too late.

The Soul-Suppressing Talismans shot through the air and exploded with a boom above the heads of the Zombie King and that group of Mutant Zombie.

In order to deal with the Zombie King, Chen Yusheng did not skimp on the Soul-Suppressing Talismans.

He threw out ten Soul-Suppressing Talismans in one breath.

To deal with a Mutant Zombie, three Soul-Suppressing Talismans were about enough.

But to deal with the Zombie King, Chen Yusheng felt it was not enough.
