I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1195 - 1190: Demon Dragon 3

Chapter 1195: Chapter 1190: Demon Dragon 3

Even though the zombie horde inflicted some damage to the farmland, it wasn’t significant—it was just a few wheat stalks trampled inadvertently, as zombies generally show no interest in a vegetarian diet.

Yet this time was different. The goal of the zombie horde was laid bare: the crops in the farmland! The reason was simple: this zombie horde was human-controlled, and this "human" knew how to maximize the damage to Cloud Gorge Base.

Normally, Cloud Gorge Base split their military might into two parts when facing a zombie horde. The first, to block the hordes not yet within Cloud Gorge Base, successively breaking through three lines of defense before shifting to the Sky Continent; the second, consisted of the military forces on the Sky Continent, primarily to contract the encircled hordes below after a city had fallen, and then eradicate them more efficiently. After all, zombie hordes generally attack from a single direction, and Cloud Gorge Base’s formidable military strength, if all concentrated to defend against the horde, would lose some operational effectiveness. Hence, it was crucial to divide the forces into two, efficiently evacuating personnel to Sky City once the ground cities fell.

Under normal circumstances, the zombie hordes would be annihilated at the third line of defense, and the cities falling to zombies was a rarity. But this time, the zombies targeted the agricultural zone, meaning that once the expansive farmland was destroyed, the person controlling the horde could wash their hands of the matter.

The situation was grave. Cloud Gorge Base’s higher-ups had no choice but to redirect all military power to the ground cities, fully resisting the zombie horde to minimize the losses to the agricultural areas as much as possible. With Cloud Gorge Base’s vast population, a large-scale famine would lead to unimaginable consequences.

No one doubted that desperation fueled by famine would give people the courage to challenge the leaders of Cloud Gorge Base.

"Move!"

Song Muyuan bellowed again, his gaze fixed on the approaching rows of thick cannon barrels from a distance. Even as a zombie himself, he couldn’t help but shiver with fear.

Perhaps sensing the gravity of the situation, the dragon zombie also howled towards the heavens, disregarding the pain its evolution brought to its body, and began to stir its long and massive body, slowly ascending.

Watching the dragon rise from the ground, the eyes of the dozens of powerful entities at the forefront of the reinforcing troop burst with astonishing light.

"Don’t let it escape! A Level 6 zombie of such magnitude—if killed, the Evolution Crystal extracted would be at least this big!" One of the stronghouses illustrated with his hands the size of a truck tire, such a large Evolution Crystal could recover half of Cloud Gorge Base’s economy!

At the words of the stronghouse, the eyes of the other Level 6 New Humans also shone with the light known as greed.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a large Level 6 Evolution Crystal?

As the dragon soared higher, no one wished to slow down. The powerful New Human Stronghouses leaped forth, racing towards the dragon zombie’s exit route!

"Stop the dragon zombie!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers let out earth-shattering roars, their cries also boosting the morale of those in front, who were already preventing the hordes from ravaging the farmlands, and without holding back, they fired even more fiercely.

In the sky, countless warplanes swooped past, speeding toward the dragon zombie, filling the air with an atmosphere of deadly solemnity.

"Hurry up!" Song Muyuan urged desperately.

The dragon zombie howled mournfully, reluctant yet without a choice, and had to accelerate—however, its speed in flight was not as fast as when it shuttled on the ground, not even half as quick, which irritated Song Muyuan.

"You’re flying up so f*cking slowly, are you digging through the earth or what?" Song Muyuan shouted, only to be met with an angry roar from the zombie dragon.

"Shut up!"

Because the zombie dragon was on the brink of evolving to Level 7, its whole body was in pain, and while burrowing underground was indeed fast, it also required a certain amount of impact force to break through the rock layers. Given its current painful condition, it was very unwilling to do so, let alone gliding on the ground. After all... consider a person whose foot hurts so bad they can’t bear it, given the choice, would they ride in a vehicle or continue walking?

The answer was obvious.

"Damn it, you better not pass out on me. If you go down, I’m done for!" Song Muyuan said helplessly, glancing back. But just as he turned around, a fighter jet flew overhead, the fiery blast from the jet’s exhaust scorching the air.

"F*ck!" Song Muyuan cursed, not because he was startled by the jet but because something fell from it. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a shell!

He quickly let go and dropped from the back of the dragon’s neck to the front of its body. The next second, the dragon’s head erupted in a burst of green light!

In Song Muyuan’s eyes, he saw the dragon’s scales rapidly detaching with charred flames at the edges.

"Is it corrosive?"

Song Muyuan figured out why the shell inflicted damage on the zombie dragon but didn’t have time to ponder any further. He started running towards the tail of the dragon, as the head was now the most dangerous spot to be. A zombie’s weak point is its head, and the zombie dragon was no exception—the soldiers would focus their fire on the dragon’s head, making it the target of all the firepower.

"No.1 Machine Team, block the zombie dragon’s path!"

"No.1 Machine Team leader, received and in action."

"No.2 Machine Team, go all out on the zombie dragon’s head."

"No.2 Machine Team, received and in action."

In just a couple of minutes, countless fighter jets had swept over Song Muyuan’s head, their speed leaving him stunned. He’d never imagined that a pile of junk metal could actually fly.

These tools were what Song Muyuan and other intelligent zombies admired most about humans; ordinary objects could be used in such remarkable ways. And for them, it was as strange as livestock talking—something only humans could do.

Behind him, the zombie dragon’s head was igniting with countless bursts of flames, with some scales even flying to his side. The once-tough scales were blasted to pieces, while the horde of zombies that had breached the first defense wall was under vicious attack as well. Cloud Gorge Base was laying all cards on the table, opening its gates wide and rolling out Scavenger tanks to plow directly into the mass of zombies.

It was unimaginable—once the tanks entered the horde, the ground instantly became stained with black and yellow, or black and red zombie fluids, parts of bodies making a grating sound that set teeth on edge.

Those two tracks turned into meat grinders, leaving nothing but pulp in their wake, and even Level 4 zombies caught in their path couldn’t escape.
