I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World

Chapter 1008: Chapter 1005: The Fiery Tyrant 4

"Naive? I don’t think so,"

Lin Jie shook his head, his face devoid of excess emotion. To him, and indeed to everyone below, the people kneeling on the execution platform were as good as dead. Why waste words on a dead man?

Watching their emotionless eyes, Lin Jie had raised the knife in his hand, its cold light glinting. But just as the blade was about to fall, the earth began to tremble. Lin Jie furrowed his brows and turned sharply towards the direction of the Yaba Luo volcano.

And the crowd below, crammed together, followed Lin Jie’s gaze. To them, Lin Jie was a god, and his every action drew intense scrutiny.

The tremors grew stronger, and about three to four seconds later, everyone felt as if the earth itself was breathing, rising and falling.

"What’s going on?" Lin Jie’s face was a picture of confusion and perplexity. It wasn’t long before he saw a column of magma shoot skyward; black smoke quickly covered half the sky, followed by a towering crimson figure leaping a hundred meters into the air. The temperature in Cepuguo City suddenly soared, causing people’s tempers to flare with the heat.

Since the gigantic figure was too far away, many people only saw a red spot, but Lin Jie and Mo Jun saw it clearly—it was a person, engulfed in flames.

Lin Jie squinted his eyes, and after about a dozen seconds, a gust of wind blew in from the distance, carrying clouds of dust with it. The windows behind swayed and rattled loudly in the breeze.

Amid it all, he caught a scent he knew all too well.

It was the smell of zombies, and an overpowering one at that, definitely surpassing Level 6.

Level 7 zombies!

"This isn’t good at all,"

Tilting his head, sensing that the presence was rapidly approaching, Lin Jie realized trouble was near. He had no desire to confront a Level 7 zombie, nor was he a savior.

"What’s wrong?" At this moment, panic began to set in for Mo Jun. The eerie happening left him at a loss, instinctively looking to Lin Jie for reassurance.

"We can’t stay here, time to leave," Lin Jie said after a moment’s silence.

"What?" Mo Jun was completely clueless about Lin Jie’s intentions. Ever since Lin Jie had returned to Cepuguo City, Mo Jun had dreamt of restructuring the Shenluo Group and becoming the sole ruler of Jiuge. However, Lin Jie’s words mercilessly shattered his fantasies!

What could he say? His strength was far inferior to Lin Jie’s. Even the Peace Party’s Deputy Leader Ah Fu, who could kill fellow Level 6 New Humans with a single punch, stood no chance against Lin Jie, let alone him?

"Let’s go!"

Following Lin Jie’s command, Mo Jun could only nod helplessly. But just as Lin Jie took a step, he saw that in the direction of the Yaba Luo volcano, the towering trees were shaking. Amid their swaying, he glimpsed a piercing red!

"So fast?"

Lin Jie’s eyes were stern, and Mo Jun, even more baffled, had never seen such an expression on Lin Jie’s face before.

What did that mean? Was some kind of trouble looming?

Mo Jun tensed up, wondering what kind of trouble could make this madman worry. But soon, he too saw the red giant moving at high speed within the shadows of the swaying trees, apparently at least ten meters tall. Behind it, black smoke rose into the sky, while the surrounding temperature kept increasing.

"Damn it, what the hell is that thing?" Mo Jun was startled, feeling a tingle in his scalp. The horrific presence coming from the outside world seemed to signal that the towering creature was something to be feared.

"Let’s go, let’s go," Mo Jun urged Lin Jie, now more speechless than ever, but for some reason, Lin Jie suddenly stopped moving. After a long while, he spoke with uncertainty.

"Is this thing targeting us?"

Lin Jie had observed for quite a while; when that thing emerged from the Yaba Luo volcano, it charged directly towards where he was. It wasn’t until now that he realized the problem.

His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and solutions flickered through his mind continuously, as an unusual sense of nervousness surfaced in Lin Jie’s heart.

Honestly, this was his first time facing a Level 7 zombie, and also his first encounter with one, although he hadn’t gotten a clear look at it.

Moreover, he didn’t have the equipment specifically designed to defeat a Level 7 zombie. Compared to evolved zombies, New Humans had inherent disadvantages, whether in terms of strength or speed.

Although Lin Jie didn’t fear the opponent, and no one would expect such a madman to feel fear like an ordinary person would,

it was undoubtedly a tricky situation.

This wasn’t a Level 7 fighting a Level 6, this was a battle between equals!

"Don’t rush," he said casually, gesturing with his hand. Nobody knew what he was thinking at that moment.

He then turned to look at the crowd below and the armed personnel from the Shenluo Group.

"Who has an inhibitor?"

"An inhibitor?"

Upon hearing Lin Jie’s words, the people below became alert. Although they didn’t understand why Lin Jie was asking for an inhibitor, they believed that he had a better method of dealing with the Peace Party soldiers.

Soon, four or five boxes of the inhibitor were carried up. Lin Jie turned to Mo Jun and said, "You’d better drink some too."

After speaking, he tore open a box and poured four or five bottles into his mouth in one go. The rich qi and blood in his body seemed to be locked behind an invisible barrier, making it impossible to tell that Lin Jie had any traits of a New Human. Hesitating for a moment, Mo Jun also picked up the remaining bottles and gulped them down.

The two didn’t say anything to the others, and under the curious but puzzled gazes of the crowd, Lin Jie led Mo Jun into the building.

"What are they going to do?"

"Who knows?"

There was a lot of speculation among the people below, but everyone’s eyes were filled with expectation. No one knew what Lin Jie would do, yet after the two had gone in, they didn’t come back out.

Two minutes passed quickly. Just as people couldn’t wait any longer, suddenly a loud "boom" came from a distance.

Everyone was startled and quickly turned to look towards the defensive wall.

"What happened?"

"The defensive wall! It’s the defensive wall!"

In the distance, countless fragments of stone were flying through the air, and the ground was shaking with "boom boom" sounds. The next second, people screamed and scattered in all directions.

"Zombies! It’s the zombies!"

Fear instantly filled everyone’s faces, and in that direction, a giant whose body seemed to be made of lava charged on all fours. Lava continuously dripped from its body, not only burning the ground with its astonishing heat but also corroding it with powerful corrosive properties, creating one hole after another with a "sizzling" sound.
