Chapter 525

"Yama King is truly a reliable leader."

"Yeah, having a leader like this really makes one feel at ease."

"Reborn, reborn once again..."

The sentiment of surviving a disaster spread among the crowd, instantly permeating every corner of the mall. People wore relaxed and peaceful smiles; struggling to survive in the apocalypse, every narrow escape from death was worth remembering for the rest of their lives.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

As Zhao Dezhu shouted, rapid and dense footsteps sounded along the roadside. Figures rushed toward the street; the combat personnel who had been watching the excitement were not stupid. Seeing this scene, they naturally understood that the battle had ended, and Yama King's record had added another brilliant stroke.

"Congratulations to Yama King for defeating the monster!"

"Yama King is invincible; even a mutated zombie gets slaughtered just the same!"

"A model for humanity, Yama King! Yama King! Yama King..."

People often say the internet has no memory, but in reality, isn't it the same? In just a few minutes, Chen Hanzhou's probing had been forgotten by the people. Everyone only saw the glory of the final victor, who had flicked his wrist to defeat the black-mist zombie at an incredible angle, leaving everyone in awe.

Others might have forgotten Chen Hanzhou's contribution, but Zhang Su would not. He raised his hand to stop the crowd's cheering and pointed to Chen Hanzhou, who was clearly struggling from not having consumed the zombie's thalamus.

"To be able to defeat this mutated zombie, our Yama Legion's little Chen, Chen Hanzhou, deserves great credit. It was he who risked his life to probe the flaw in the black mist shroud. Everyone must remember him!"

"Truly a hero among youths!"

"Brother Chen is badass, I want to learn from you!"

"Brother Chen was so spirited just now. Holy crap, those few attacks and defensive maneuvers are enough for me to study for half a year."

With Yama King speaking, and so reasonably at that, who would dare not listen? Respectful gazes turned toward Chen Hanzhou, while they simultaneously offered blessings and compliments.

"Damn it, I didn't see anything. Brother Su, I knew you would win, but I just wanted to see the process!"

Lu Yubo came running back at full speed. The wandering zombies had already been dealt with, but unfortunately, he had perfectly missed the battle, which made him feel incredibly miserable.

"Do you know why I sent you away?"

Zhang Su smiled at the panting Lu Yubo and said, "You are my number one fan, after all. I was afraid of losing face if I lost."

"Hahaha..."

Laughter erupted all around. Yama King's joke wasn't particularly humorous, but in this situation, everyone wanted to use laughter to vent their excited emotions. Some sentimental people even had tears in their eyes while laughing out loud.

"Yama King, are we not going to kill this monster?"

Liu Yao pointed at the black-mist zombie, which was being stepped on by Ju Wuying and struggling incessantly like a drowning person. Its entire lower jaw and both arms were gone, making it look even more hideous, but in reality, it had no combat power left and had long since lost its earlier majesty.

Ju Wuying stepping on the black-mist zombie gave the impression of a shrew bullying an eighty-year-old man on the street...

"Mutated zombies are a great threat, but if used well, they are also a great help to us. Unless absolutely necessary, it has more research value alive. Prepare to transport it back for the researchers to tinker with."

After saying this, Zhang Su looked at the mall and said loudly, "Come, come, everyone help out and clean up the battlefield!"

The rest was simple. Cleaning up the battlefield no longer required the combat personnel to do it; their mission had been successfully completed, especially the heroes of the Yama Legion, who had endured much.

After this battle, the people of the Le Gou branch finally witnessed the strength of the Yama Legion and truly felt the benefits of having the protection of Tianma Island. If the Yama Legion hadn't been there, everyone present today, one by one, would not have survived! Over a hundred ordinary members ran down from upstairs; the old, weak, women, and children finally had a chance to participate. Even if they were trembling, they insisted on collecting the bodies of their companions on the blood-soaked battlefield. If you're alive, you can't just sit idle!

"How are you feeling?"

Zhang Su walked out of the crowd and came before Chen Hanzhou.

Chen Hanzhou held his chest and abdomen, his lips trembling: "No big problem, seems like I just broke a rib."

"Just? Broke a rib... do you think that's not serious enough? Why aren't you taking medicine? Planning to heal on your own?" Zhang Su rubbed his forehead. He hadn't had an easy time in the battle either; he had actually used up fifteen percent of his energy, especially when he was being squeezed by the black mist shroud earlier, where his energy had dropped by the second. He felt he had discovered another wonderful use for energy, but he had no time to verify it for now.

Chen Hanzhou rolled his eyes, gave an awkward smile, and said softly: "Dr. Fu told me that, you know, we should save it when we can. Bone self-healing is definitely slower than skin wounds, I'll just tough it out."

His self-healing ability was just accelerated healing; healing bones and tendons would definitely take longer than skin wounds.

"Alright..."

Zhang Su nodded. It didn't surprise him that Fu Weijun had told Chen Hanzhou these things; there was no harm in knowing. Even if Fu Weijun hadn't said it, he had planned to find an opportunity to tell the people of the Yama Legion about this matter slowly.

Clang.

The mutated zombie, which had been bundled up almost like a mummy, was thrown into the crowd. Those who hadn't had a chance to observe it up close before all clicked their tongues in wonder. Such a small, thin monkey could actually control such powerful strength.

"Brother Su, old tradition, give this thing a name?"

Wang Xin said with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah, Yama King must have the naming rights."

"Give it one, give it one."

The people around joined in the clamor.

Zhang Su didn't decline. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Ju Wuying said the black mist around it smells like liquefied petroleum gas. My nose was blocked so I didn't really smell it, but I heard several brothers say they smelled a similar odor, so let's call it the Liquefied Gas Zombie!"

Actually, Zhang Su felt that naming it was unimportant; this kind of special mutated zombie was unlikely to appear on a large scale.

The Liquefied Gas Zombie, the greatest enemy of this battle, had been blocked by the combined efforts of Chen Hanzhou, Zhang Su, and Ju Wuying, and had not caused harm to the people. Everyone logically accepted this new name.

After a short while, the Liquefied Gas Zombie was loaded into a vehicle. Zhang Su decided to send this big treasure away immediately.

He pulled Ju Wuying aside and said solemnly: "When you go back, don't talk about the Liquefied Gas Zombie. If others ask why you went back, just find any excuse. In short, don't let people know about the Liquefied Gas Zombie. Hide it, understand?"

"Understand."

Ju Wuying was too lazy to even ask why. She didn't care about these things; as long as they agreed to let her go back early, that was enough. She nodded calmly.

"You all are the same. Don't mention a word about the Liquefied Gas Zombie, understand?"

Zhang Su looked at the group of five with missing arms and legs nearby.

Ke Zhiyu, who was in a coma, couldn't answer, but the other four nodded one after another. They had all undergone amputations after being bitten by zombies. At first, they felt very unbalanced in their hearts, but after seeing the corpses dragged out from the battlefield, a strong desire to survive ignited in their hearts.

Whether because of luck or strength, they still had the chance to save their lives through amputation, while those cold bodies had left everyone forever.

Strange to say, after the desire to survive ignited in their hearts, none of them turned into zombies. Human willpower is truly magical.

Letting them go to Tianma Island was for no other reason than treatment. The effect of the zombie-transformation blocking fluid was unknown, but it was better than just toughing it out on their own.

"Alright, you go. Be very careful on the road."

Zhang Su patted the car door and gave an instruction.

"Brother Su, uh, I want to go back too, hehe, go back to nurse my wounds."

Watching Ju Wuying sit in the driver's seat, Chen Hanzhou walked over, rubbing his chest and abdomen, and said with an embarrassed smile.
