Chapter 1062: Chapter 1058: Devouring the Abnormality

"This absolutely cannot be a zombie,"

Xu Haishui said gravely as he came over to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye glanced at Xu Haishui and asked, "Why not?"

"It’s a bit like the product of a parasite infection, although many behaviors are inexplicable. But from what I know about zombies, they do not have the characteristics found on zombies, like they lack anti-life substances?"

As he spoke, Xu Haishui’s mouth opened, and a shell-less corpse worm crawled out, wriggling back and forth in his hand.

Before he could continue, both men saw a mutant that had already reached a spot not far in front of them. Its face, now unrecognizable, was making a harsh "gaga gaga" noise from somewhere. Then, its body split open in the middle, right before Tang Ye and Xu Haishui!

Immediately, with a "bang," a large amount of black and red liquid sprayed out. The officer beside them changed his expression and yelled, "Danger, Marshal Vice-President, get out of the way!"

As he said this, he pushed Tang Ye and Xu Haishui to one side. Taking advantage of his force, Tang Ye and Xu Haishui quickly dodged aside. The large amount of liquid that had sprayed from the mutant soaked the ground. Several Peace Party soldiers who hadn’t managed to dodge were struck in the face by the disgusting, sticky fluid and began to scream in agony on the ground the next second.

"What’s happened to them?" Tang Ye asked.

"They have been infected."

"Infected?"

"Yes, direct contact leads to the same fate as theirs."

"This..." Tang Ye was at a loss for words—what kind of infectious power was this? It was terrifying!

"Marshal, why..."

At this moment, the officer beside him began to speak but then hesitated. His eyes were full of doubt and indecision. Tang Ye knew what he intended to ask and spoke in a deep voice, "These are not zombies."

"Ah? Not zombies?" The soldier was startled, looking back and forth between the grotesque creatures and Tang Ye. They indeed seemed different from zombies, yet such beings could only come from the same strange breed as zombies, possibly caused by anti-life substances. How could they not be zombies?

However, he did not pursue his question further. If Tang Ye said they weren’t zombies, then they weren’t, but deep down he still wanted to know what these creatures really were.

In front of them, the soldiers who had been in contact with the black and red sticky fluid previously sprayed by the mutant were wailing incessantly. Their bodies were rapidly decomposing; the flesh losing its natural adherence, just like ham slices that had been scored and then fried until they split apart.

After a few more seconds, the soldier’s agonizing wails turned into mindless roars. Tang Ye narrowed his eyes, immediately realizing these were no longer human!

In just sixteen seconds, a living new human had completed the mutation, transforming into a mindless monster!

When its eyes opened in agony once more, only primal aggression remained within.

Its body stiffened, and just as it was about to attack the others, an irresistible force hit its head, smashing its face heavily onto the ground!

Bang!

Tang Ye stomped on the newly risen mutant, his immense strength instantly turning its already unrecognizable head into an exploded mess! Blood mixed with black, red, and yellow pus splattered everywhere, but thankfully those around reacted quickly enough to avoid being doused in the disgusting fluids.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable!

As Tang Ye’s foot burst the mutant’s head, an incredible thing happened: the headless corpse of the mutant continued to writhe violently, and the chunks of flesh that had sprayed around Tang Ye wriggled on the ground like maggots!

Exchanging a look with Xu Haishui, both of their expressions were grave.

"Unkillable!"

These mutants couldn’t be killed, which was a similar ability to his own; Tang Ye’s hive mind consciousness could distribute throughout his entire body, allowing him to reconstitute even if his body was shattered into innumerable pieces, or even to become a new individual.

"Marshal, there are more and more of those things inside, we need to expand the defense perimeter," said a soldier who ran up to Tang Ye. The number of mutants at the front was increasing, and the original defensive line was no longer sufficient to contain them.

Tang Ye nodded, feeling a wave of irritation in his heart. This was troublesome!

But the next second, his eyes lit up as he suddenly sensed the high-ranking silver-armored zombies hidden within the United District moving towards them. He quickly realized that it was Li Qingtian summoning these silver-armored zombies!

As for her intentions, Tang Ye guessed right away that she probably wanted to use the zombies’ devouring ability to see if they could consume these mutants, thereby killing the monsters!

He just didn’t know if this method would work.

Before long, a six-meter-tall giant silver-armored zombie leapt down from the top of a distant building, crashing heavily into the horde of mutants. Atop its head stood a figure roughly the height of a human, covered in silver scales like armor, resembling an ancient general.

Watching the tide-like swarm of mutants, the two zombies roared thunderously.

Seeing the silver-armored zombies, the disgusting mutants surrounded them but soon lost interest when they found out that the pair of zombies were not living creatures. They bypassed the silver-armored zombies, leaving behind a few mutants that hadn’t caught on yet, hissing as they bit into the zombies with their tentacle-filled mouths, only to have their own flesh stripped from their bodies and then get squashed into a pulp by the colossal creature they faced!

Roar!

A furious roar echoed to the sky, and the people who heard it were immediately filled with a strange and indescribable feeling. If, before, they were no longer afraid of the ferocious zombies, now, upon hearing the bloodthirsty and violent roars unique to the zombies, they felt an incomparable sense of kinship, because of familiarity, because of understanding.

"It seems these things really aren’t zombies."

"Damn, the zombies are way more adorable than these creeps," said Ma De.

The soldiers began to slowly expand the defense line, while the silver-armored zombies inside followed Li Qingtian’s advice, opening their jaws to devour the mutants below, to satisfying effect: the mutants simply caused some dissatisfaction in the zombies themselves, but these mutants would no longer appear active outside.

The infectious particles on the bodies of the mutants were also uninterested in the flesh and blood of the zombies, simply lingering for a while before sliding off without causing any rot on the skin of the silver-armored zombies.

Realizing that using zombies to devour the mutants was effective, Tang Ye felt the silver-armored zombies approaching their position accelerate.
