I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1171 - 1166: 2,000,000 Zombie Tide

Chapter 1171: Chapter 1166: 2,000,000 Zombie Tide

Fear crazily filled the eyes of the crowd, and more and more layers of snow began to move slowly. At the last moment, people realized that the snow everywhere they could see, including the area they were in, was slowly moving as if something underneath wanted to come out.

Yes! Something wanted to come out!

They weren’t fools, and quickly guessed that this was the case, their faces growing more and more terrified!

Someone looked at the woman who had screamed earlier, their eyes full of anger.

"It must be her! Everything is because of her! She must have awakened the zombies below!"

"Yes! It’s her! It’s all her fault for screaming!"

People began accusing the woman, and she, too frightened to speak, started to cry. However, her tears did not evoke sympathy but only increased everyone’s disgust towards her.

"Still crying? It’s all your fault!"

"Let’s leave her here to feed the zombies, and we all leave!"

Faced with the condemnation from the crowd, the woman didn’t know what to say and could only continue crying, shaking her head repeatedly, saying, "It’s not me, it’s really not me."

"How is it not you?"

"If it wasn’t for your scream just now, how would this situation have arisen?"

As people shouted, their voices seemed to agitate the zombies hidden by the heavy snow below, and the frequency of the snow moving increased.

Realizing this, people hurriedly shut up, but it was too late. In the next second, everyone saw one after another rotten hand breaking through the snow layer, appearing before their eyes. Everyone’s faces froze in shock, not daring to make a sound or move; they could clearly see the icicles forming on those rotten arms.

More and more zombie arms appeared before the people, diverse in form, like flowers and branches covering a grassy field.

Gradually, the world in front of the people became filled with zombie arms, and some zombies even revealed their heads, opening their rotting mouths to roar, only to have their foul mouths quickly stuffed with accumulated snow.

It was indescribable how dense these zombies were. In just that moment, the white before the people’s eyes turned to mere drips and drabs, mostly occupied by the decaying black bodies of the zombies!

"Run!"

"Where do we run to?"

"It doesn’t matter!"

People then realized what they should do at that moment and quickly started to run in the direction they had come from. But just then, as their emotions became chaotic and they lost their earlier caution, many quickly found themselves trapped in the snow, unable to move, while zombies, one after another, crawled out of the snow and roared at the people.

Among them, there were even several Level 4 evolved zombies that were enough to scare the souls out of everyone!

They had just crawled out from beneath the snow layer and, upon seeing the people, moved their legs. Those Level 4 zombies even stirred up a wave of snow, roaring as they charged toward the people.

Winter wasn’t like other seasons; here on the streets covered by nearly two meters of snow, although those with less strength could still set out to gather supplies to reduce the chances of encountering danger, once danger arose, these were the most difficult roads to navigate.

Everyone was unaware of how many zombies had emerged next to them or how many zombies they had run past, but ahead of them, they saw a dense horde of zombies, with even more still crawling up from beneath the snow.

"Ah! Help!"

As the first person was tackled to the ground by a zombie, others continuously let out piercing screams.

One after another, people were viciously brought down by zombies, falling into the snow, while the surrounding zombies crazily burrowed into the snow to tear at those people.

In no time, everyone was overwhelmed, and the snowy surface, now speckled with vivid red, was glaringly conspicuous.

If someone had been observing from high above at that moment, they would have realized not just the zombies in this area, but all the zombies in Xige City had awakened from their dormant state!

And these poor people were just a gift for the zombies in this area, the first full meal after their awakening.

Once the zombies awoke, the first thing they uniformly did was to crawl out of the thick snow layer and then all the zombies slowly moved in a certain direction, heading for a place located a distant two hundred seventy-two kilometers away—Cloud Gorge Base!

That globally renowned, one of the top three Sanctuary Cities, an SS-level survivor base!

Two days later, Cloud Gorge Base.

A shrill alarm sound pierced the sky, startling all the busy people; as they looked toward the distant horizon in confusion, a broadcast resounded throughout various locations in Cloud Gorge Base, informing everyone what was happening.

[According to yesterday’s detection, a zombie tide is moving toward Cloud Gorge Base, with an estimated size between two and three million. All personnel prepare for battle and return to your posts, activating the second level of combat readiness. Everyone, please immediately return to your residences. All new humans of Level 3 and above, proceed to China A4 District for assembly. Those found evading later will face the consequences themselves.]

As this broadcast was heard, people could only hear a noise coming from inside; soon, their faces turned pale, apparently only now realizing the gravity of the situation.

"Wait, did I hear that right? A zombie tide of two million?"

People thought they had misheard. From the initial establishment of Cloud Gorge Base to the present, the largest zombie tide they had faced was one of 1.7 million, and that occurred in the fourth year. That battle was devastating for Cloud Gorge Base; many strong individuals perished in the zombie tide, and both the eastern and western walls were heavily damaged. It was a close call—the zombie tide nearly breached into the industrial area to massacre the residents. However, thankfully, they won that battle. Although the current defense was not just the fifty-meter high, four-meter thick giant H-shaped anti-zombie steel wall, but also an energy shield that covered the entire Cloud Gorge Base, facing this zombie tide of two million was unprecedented for Cloud Gorge Base.

Even the mere number, two million, sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

Three minutes after the broadcast, a large number of soldiers appeared, quickly running toward the east.

"It looks like that zombie tide is running over from the east," someone said, pointing in that direction. Then, some people, out of curiosity, followed the soldiers eastward. From the shops on the streets, many Black and White people were driven out.

"Get back now."

Various shopkeepers impatiently kicked these lower-class individuals, and these Blacks and Whites, not daring to retort, glanced once toward the east and hurriedly made their way to West K Thirteen District for shelter.
