I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1246 - 1241: Illusion

Chapter 1246: Chapter 1241: Illusion

"We must notify the boss quickly," thought Gong Xiao. But in that brief moment of mental relaxation, the zombies she had been controlling suddenly started marching towards the United District, no longer obstructing the zombies behind them.

This scene startled Gong Xiao.

"What’s going on?"

Her face was filled with confusion. She had already taken control of these zombies, so why were they moving in the exact opposite direction of what she wanted under her control?

"Are there other high-level zombies?"

"No, that’s not it! Is there no zombie control?"

Gong Xiao was completely disordered. Everything happening was beyond her control. It was known that low-level zombies controlled by a high-level zombie’s mind would be compelled by the high-level zombie’s intentions!

Abandoning her initial thought of contacting Tang Ye and the others, Gong Xiao commanded the zombie horde to retreat again. Soon after, those zombies that had established a mental connection with her stopped their advance, once again blocking the zombies behind them. But shortly, they lost control once more and continued forward without restraint.

"This..."

Gong Xiao clenched her teeth and commanded again, making the controlled zombies stop and block the ones behind them. Yet immediately afterward, those zombies moved forward again, completely disregarding Gong Xiao’s mental control.

In this way, the zombies controlled by Gong Xiao stopped and started intermittently, causing the horde behind them to constantly collide with their counterparts, leading to even greater chaos within the zombie tide, and simultaneously, it was somewhat comical.

Because of this, Gong Xiao found herself entangled and unable to break free from the zombie horde.

Jiang Chentong and Yan Jie glanced at the situation outside and became anxious as well. The sudden assault on the United District by the zombie horde was obviously abnormal, but there was little they could do.

Just then, Yan Jie’s phone started ringing. He checked the caller ID and saw it was one of his subordinates. Getting a call at this time usually meant something was happening. He answered and his brows quickly furrowed.

He looked at Jiang Chentong, who was also wondering what the person on the other end of the line had said.

"Old Jiang, Ruan Chao’en has appeared."

"Where?"

"In the Cloud Layer District, at the small plaza formed by Longyuan Crossroads."

"Let’s go! That guy has already betrayed us, no telling what kind of trouble he’s stirring up!"

After saying that, the two men exchanged glances with Gong Xiao, then hurriedly left, heading towards that location.

Elsewhere, a large number of soldiers moved swiftly through the devastated United District, soon gathering at a certain plaza. In the center, there were already many dead bodies on the central flowerbed, and among these corpses, a number of them were identifiable as Level 6 Powerhouses from the Peace Party.

Such as Yu Hangwu, Wu Zhanping, and other Level 6 Powerhouses who had joined the Peace Party upon entering the United District.

Above these corpses, Ruan Chao’en appeared like a mad demon, covered in blood. His clothes had been torn to shreds in the battle just moments ago, and although large patches of his arm were obscured by bloodstains, it was clear that his flesh was split in many places, with strands of flesh growing out of them, writhing alive along his arms.

"Who else is there? Come on, all of you!"

Even though he was surrounded by a large number of Peace Party soldiers, there was no trace of fear on Ruan Chao’en’s face. On the contrary, he was ecstatic. Since the fight had started, he had lost count of how many powerful individuals had died at his hands. The soldiers below wore solemn expressions, for Ruan Chao’en was no longer a Level 6 New Human, but a Level 7!

Of course, they knew the price Ruan Chao’en had paid. One look at his arm made it clear that the mutations and semi-lucid state were the consequences of forcibly evolving after consuming a large amount of Evolution Crystals.

"Come on, all of you! Attack together! Watch me tear you all to pieces! Hahaha!"

Ruan Chao’en, standing atop a flowerbed, roared down at the soldiers below, his facial expression twisted to the extreme.

Just as Ruan Chao’en was roaring, a sergeant suddenly burst out from the group of soldiers, exploding with the aura of a Level 5 New Human. His military spike thrust directly toward the back of Ruan Chao’en’s head!

However, just a few centimeters away from Ruan Chao’en, a hand fiercely grasped the sergeant’s wrist. The sergeant’s face showed shock, and then the world flipped before his eyes as he found himself slammed onto the ground, a sense of death enveloping his heart in an instant!

"No..." He let out an instinctive scream before realizing he was lying on the ground, with Ruan Chao’en’s foot crushing his head, ruthlessly trampling him.

The sergeant struggled to lift his head, looking at Ruan Chao’en’s terrifying, ghostly face.

"You? Trying a sneak attack? Who else wants a turn?"

Ruan Chao’en looked up again at the crowd, his sick smile so clear. For a moment, many soldiers were frightened into stepping back, while the soldier under his foot died on the spot as Ruan Chao’en applied pressure, his flesh turning to pulp under the absolute force.

One man stands his ground, and ten thousand fail to open it!

At this moment, that’s how Ruan Chao’en felt, especially seeing how he made tens of thousands of Peace Party soldiers retreat in fear—nothing could describe how exhilarating it was. Smiling, yet that smile quickly vanished as he said, "I know you don’t believe me, but don’t worry, soon, our ’great and respected’ Marshal will show his true face! And you’ll see that he is a zombie!"

"A vile, violent zombie that will stop at nothing!"

"Hehehe~ When the time comes, I’ll see what you choose. Will you betray him? Or continue to be loyal? Become a traitor to humanity? Stand against all of humanity?"

"I believe you all have a choice. I did this because I chose the most correct option between two choices! Between humanity and zombies, I chose to betray the Peace Party! Because, I am human!"

With Ruan Chao’en’s words, hesitation gradually crept into the eyes of the soldiers below, but only a few sergeants roared at Ruan Chao’en, "Bullshit! How could the Marshal possibly be a zombie?"

That was all they could say before Ruan Chao’en killed them on the spot, adding them to the heap of corpses.

Among the soldiers present, all the powerhouses of Level 5 strength and above had already died at Ruan Chao’en’s hands, leaving the rest unable to cause any significant trouble.

Forced by the threat to their lives, they dared not speak, but in their hearts, many began to doubt. Many had joined the Peace Party not long ago, but could never understand the principle of why zombies did not attack humans; the explanations given by the Peace Party were indeed a bit far-fetched.

And now, with what Ruan Chao’en had said, that the three chairmen were high-level zombies disguised as humans, it all made sense. High-level zombies controlling low-level zombies, could easily create the illusion of zombies not attacking humans.
