I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1194 - 1189: Demon Dragon 2

Chapter 1194: Chapter 1189: Demon Dragon 2

Although Song Muyuan was a Level 6 zombie, aside from his mental control strength being dozens of times that of other Level 6 zombies, his combat statistics were barely at the Level 5 benchmark, and in some areas, even less than that of Level 5.

Below him, Level 6 Powerhouses were being battered by the zombie dragon, some to death, some to injury... Oh... wait, not injured – in fact, there was little difference between their state and death.

After all, the five surviving Level 6 New Humans below had already shown varying degrees of zombification, and soon the world might see five more Level 6 zombies. Yet even so, there were still numerous Level 5 New Humans below; if he were to fall down there, his own strength wouldn’t be enough to get out.

Thus, he dared not fall down. If the zombie dragon went into a dormant state, that would be truly horrifying for Song Muyuan!

"Damn it, don’t you fall asleep!" Song Muyuan shouted angrily.

The zombie dragon’s long body thrashed wildly on the streets, powerful enough to sever buildings at their midsections. The roars that emerged from its mouth grew increasingly hoarse, distorting the expressions of those around. The sound was unbearable, like someone taking sandpaper and scraping away the eardrum layer by layer!

In an instant, many people collapsed to the ground, suffering as greatly as the zombie dragon, rolling back and forth in torment, with streams of bright blood flowing from their ears.

Song Muyuan hung on the back of the zombie dragon’s neck, his hand firmly gripped onto a strong and unyielding scale. As the massive body of the zombie dragon twisted, so did his body swing side to side. His face was as contorted as those people below, evidently also unable to withstand the noise the zombie dragon made.

The formidable ones from the City Center area of Cloud Gorge Base had already assembled; massive numbers of soldiers in their armored vehicles with devastating weapons were coming toward them.

The zombie dragon didn’t notice, but Song Muyuan did.

He couldn’t care less about rising up; instead, he kept sending brainwave messages to the zombie dragon, trying to wake it up a little.

"Get out of here."

Song Muyuan’s brainwave messages were like glaring, bold letters sharply imprinted in the zombie dragon’s mind. He hadn’t held much hope at first, as the zombie dragon’s reactions showed that it could to some extent immunize itself against his control.

But soon, he received a message back in his own mind, which left Song Muyuan frozen in shock.

"I... hurt! Shut up!"

"Agh!"

A storm of emotions churned within Song Muyuan’s stunned face!

What did it feel like to receive a brainwave message from a zombie? It was difficult to describe – an almost mystical sensation, like an obscure and difficult-to-understand string of symbols conveyed in an auditory way directly into one’s brain, thereby unexpectedly making one understand perfectly clear what was meant.

To be more precise, it wasn’t exactly like a sound, but more like words suddenly etched in the mind in an instant without any audible sound, bringing with them a clear expression of the other’s emotions. And that brainwave message from the zombie dragon contained its impatience and frustration.

Song Muyuan was an intelligent zombie. From the moment of gaining intelligence, other zombies were just fools compared to him. He, as an intelligent zombie, was a different species from those without intelligence, just as humans contrasted with beasts.

As time went on, understanding such things became common knowledge in Song Muyuan’s mind. Other zombies were not like him; they were very different.

And now, the segment of brainwave information emitted by the zombie dragon surprisingly contained a hint of intelligence, which astonished Song Muyuan immensely. It felt as if the pet cat or dog you had raised for five or six, seven or eight years suddenly started communicating with you like a normal person. Wouldn’t that surprise you?

"You..." Song Muyuan was stupefied for a moment but quickly recovered. It seemed that the zombie dragon really was evolving, transitioning from the Level 6 stage to the Level 7 stage, and its intelligence was increasing as well. He had spent quite some time in the United District, and although the higher-ups there were commander zombies disguised as humans, United District was still a refuge for humankind and primarily a human living area.

In human society, Song Muyuan certainly understood how zombies came to be and knew that as zombie levels rose, their intelligence would increase. By all reasoning, the zombie dragon’s intelligence should already be that of an eleven or twelve-year-old, able to think like a regular human being.

"Hey, you can’t pass out here; otherwise, those people below will have thousands of ways to kill us! Also, I have a very important thing to attend to here. You know the boss, right? Li Henian, if I die, you’ll be in trouble too."

When Song Muyuan mentioned Li Henian, a strange look appeared in the zombie dragon’s giant eyes. To the zombie dragon, Tang Ye was an extraordinary entity, akin to a natural-born master. To this being, whatever that man said was an absolute command that had to be followed, and there was an inherent fear of him deep down. A voice seemed to tell it that it had to execute his orders without fail – not to follow was to face death!

This sensation was bizarre, like recognizing one’s parents at birth, but Tang Ye’s presence was not as familial and comforting as that. It was more akin to the relationship between superior and inferior.

"Let’s hurry. The main forces over there are advancing," Song Muyuan urged. The soldiers coming from the City Center area of Cloud Gorge Base were clad in sophisticated exoskeleton suits. Clearly, his inducing a zombie horde into the frenzied destruction of the agricultural sector had made the Cloud Gorge Base’s higher-ups anxious, and they were going all out to stop the horde. Usually, even if the zombie horde breached the first line of defense, the agricultural sector had isolation belts that effectively halted the zombies, which, of course, couldn’t stop high-level zombies – these barriers made of glass and iron bars were as ineffective as tofu against them.

However, zombies had no interest in the crops inside; as long as there were no people, the horde would follow the paths set by humans to attack the second line of defense, leaving the agricultural fields unscathed.
