Chapter 1222: Chapter 1217 Carpet-Like Searching

Aside from these characteristics, this zombie actually had only three legs—the place where the fourth leg should have been was bare, exposing parts of the darkened boney connections.

And it was the very zombie that appeared before Ruan Chao’en and Huang Quanjiu.

As this zombie made its appearance, a large number of silver-armored zombies around it began to circle it, and it could see that its kindred with silver skin were not friendly towards it!

But there were too many of its own level present at the scene, so it dared not strike first and could only let out a roar to demonstrate its dominance.

However, this had no effect. After a brief stalemate, a Level 6 silver-armored zombie suddenly sprang into action, leaping over and opening its huge maw to bite down on its head.

The other hurriedly moved its limbs to dodge to the side, but the Level 6 silver-armored zombie it had been evading clamped its jaws on its waist, its sharp fangs tearing through the thin flesh and directly crushing the bones inside!

Roar!

It too let out a roar, turning to bite a piece of protruding flesh on the back of the silver-armored zombie, but this was a defense-focused silver-armored zombie, and its bite only succeeded in leaving a dense pattern of teeth marks on the opponent’s back without breaching the defense.

The next second, both zombies roared in unison. The six bone whips on the back of the Level 6 zombie began to lash out, all targeting the Level 6 silver-armored zombie in front of it, which, not to be outdone, with eyes reddening further, opened its fearsome mouth wide and spewed out a great amount of black mist, rushing towards the other!

The six bone whips pierced through the black mist, each tainted with spots of black, enduring the corrosion and entanglement as the mist directly charged toward the Level 6 zombie. As a result, the Level 6 silver-armored zombie was hoisted up by the bone whips and heavily slammed forward.

The black mist touched its body, and the flesh that was already rotting was further corroded, subjecting the Level 6 zombie to a rare pain!

It began to run, but promptly, several other silver-armored zombies stepped forward and joined the battle, surrounding this strange Level 6 zombie. Level 4, Level 5, even Level 6 ones, roared continuously at this unfamiliar Level 6 zombie, the air thick with a sense of menace.

It tried to fight back but was pummeled and bitten by the multitude of surrounding silver-armored zombies, reeling and disoriented, unable to tell which way was up.

In no time at all, Xu Haishui and Ah Fu had already arrived, and by then, the strange Level 6 zombie had been subdued by a certain silver-armored zombie.

Xu Haishui stepped forward for a look, then gazed toward the back leg of the zombie, indeed seeing it lacking one.

"Looks like it’s this guy."

"Just a Level 6 zombie."

"It must be controlled by someone."

"I wonder who it could be."

Ah Fu and Xu Haishui exchanged glances. In the United District, aside from a few intelligent zombies like themselves, the only other suspect was the council president’s sister, Li Qingtian!

"Is it her?" Ah Fu asked.

Xu Haishui didn’t speak his full thoughts; in fact, his greatest suspicion lay with Li Qingtian, but he was not certain.

About ten minutes later, a vehicle arrived in front of the two, and a soldier got down and saluted Xu Haishui and Ah Fu, then reported: "Vice President, after checking, the president’s sister only went out this morning and returned at three in the afternoon, with no outings thereafter."

Xu Haishui nodded and then asked, "By the way, did the president approve your investigation?"

"She approved."

Hearing this, Xu Haishui looked towards Ah Fu and slowly said, "It seems the boss also suspects Li Qingtian."

"Is that really the case?"

"I can’t be sure, but now it seems her suspicion might be reduced a bit. It’s possible that someone unknown, with abilities like Li Qingtian’s, or even..."

"Like our kind of intelligent zombie?"

"Mhm."

Xu Haishui nodded and peered into the distance, his eyes narrowing slightly, and in that instant, his perception swept over most of the United District. In his perception, besides a large number of silver-armored zombies and that unfamiliar Level 6 zombie around him, there were only the hidden silver-armored zombies.

There was no sense of an unfamiliar zombie.

He looked at the soldier who had just come over and asked, "Have all the exits been checked?"

"They have been checked. Since seven o’clock, aside from scavenger hunters coming back intermittently, there has been no one leaving."

"Ruan Chao’en and Huang Quanjiu went missing around seven-thirty."

"Mhm, which means no one has left since that time frame."

"It seems that guy hasn’t left. He must be hiding somewhere."

Xu Haishui raised his head to look at the low-rise building, where the unfamiliar Level 6 zombie was hiding.

Inside the building, apart from a few unlucky ones who had been infected by the zombie, there was no sign of Huang Quanjiu and Ruan Chao’en. This meant that the two had been taken somewhere else.

"Where could he be hiding?"

Xu Haishui asked himself, then stepped forward, at the same time, he said to the soldier beside him, "Go and inform all the military units to seal all the exits. Entry is allowed, but no one leaves; even General Shang can’t leave. Immediately report any abnormalities, even if it’s just a whiff of wind blowing out!"

After speaking, Xu Haishui left the area, and Ah Fu followed him.

"If that guy hasn’t left, how are we supposed to find him?"

"We’re not searching. The United District is too large to comb through."

"What about asking that kind?"

Xu Haishui glanced at the Level 6 zombie being torn apart by a group of silver-armored zombies behind him and shook his head at Ah Fu, "This one’s just cannon fodder. You can see its strength isn’t enough to take down two Level 6 New Humans in an instant. It’s simply impossible, even if those two don’t have any weapons. In a drawn-out fight, this poor thing would be the one to suffer."

"True, the only place that’s been damaged is the Prison; nothing else has been touched at all. The real perpetrator definitely doesn’t have just Level 6 strength." Ah Fu nodded in agreement with Xu Haishui. If it were just an ordinary Level 6 zombie, two Level 6 New Humans could handle it, and at equal strength levels, the skirmish would definitely not be confined to the Prison. At the very least, surrounding buildings would suffer collateral damage.

The damage was confined to just one building, the Prison’s utilities management, collapsing. The real perpetrator’s strength had to be at least Level 7.

"However, that doesn’t mean we won’t search at all. Of course, we’ll search—and it will be a thorough, grid-like search!"

The two zombies didn’t speak and leisurely made their way back to where they lived.

With Tang Ye’s approval, a large number of Peace Party soldiers poured out, starting from the outermost part of the United District, and began searching, inching their way toward the center.
