I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1557 - 1551 Another Tide of Zombies

Chapter 1557: Chapter 1551 Another Tide of Zombies

The cracks extending from its body had now enveloped the entire Xi River city, while the manic swarm of zombies surrounded Tang Ye, throwing themselves toward him fearlessly with reckless abandon! Tang Ye swung his hand, slapping the head of one of the zombies into a bloody explosion. A broad, fleshy flap grew from his back and descended onto the zombie horde like a Mt. Tai, crushing countless unlucky creatures into the air!

No response came from the earpiece, adding to Tang Ye’s irritation. He grabbed a zombie and was about to give it a "massage," when a familiar visual sensation struck him. The scene froze in an instant!

At that very moment, he saw the sun in the sky splitting into countless fragments, and his ears were overtaken by a deafening roar!

Boom!

...

Inside the Cloud Gorge Base, deep within a secluded alley sat an inconspicuous tavern. Though the entrance appeared eerily silent, the interior was bustling with activity. Flashing multicolored lights danced with the motions of automated machines, while extravagantly dressed dancers in scanty, provocative outfits displayed their moves without restraint on a circular stage. The tavern was rowdy and chaotic, but none of the noise escaped to the outside.

Someone stumbled toward the couch near a wall, clutching a bottle of liquor before collapsing onto it. Another puffed on a thick cigar, quietly observing the dancers flaunting their charms. Yet another shouted loudly, singing off-key lyrics that had been humorously distorted beyond recognition.

In one of the private rooms, thick walls blocked out all sounds from the main hall.

Su Sigui gestured behind her, prompting the tavern staff to bow carefully before retreating.

"Mayor, here are the results from the past few days. Please take a look."

"Has the progress been smooth?"

Su Sigui casually accepted the stack of reports handed to her by Ji Jinchan. She merely glanced at them briefly before asking directly without reviewing them.

Ji Jinchan hesitated for a moment before replying, "There haven’t been any major issues. Although some individuals were uncooperative, overall progress has been fairly smooth."

"Alright, no need to check—I trust you."

"Thank you."

Ji Jinchan nodded, his eyes betraying a flicker of emotion.

Next, Su Sigui turned to Zhang Linglai and asked, "Have you found any news of Li Henian?"

Zhang Linglai immediately responded, "Not yet. I’ve already sent people to search all the surrounding wasteland cities. Li Henian doesn’t seem to be in any of those places."

"What’s Tang Fu’s stance on this?" Su Sigui questioned further.

Zhang Linglai instinctively touched his nose, pondering how to articulate his thoughts precisely.

"It’s hard to read their attitude—they’re acting strange. I get the feeling that Li Henian has disappeared but hasn’t truly disappeared."

"Hmm? Forget it for now; put this matter aside and inform me immediately if there are any updates."

"Understood."

Zhang Linglai nodded, while a burly blond foreign man, sitting one seat apart from him, couldn’t wait to speak after Zhang Linglai finished, saying to Su Sigui, "Oh right, Mayor Su. My contacts in the Dangerous Sanctuary City have reported some news—a massive Magical Sonic royal zombie swarm has emerged in the West China area. It might only be a few days before it reaches Jinchuan..."

The man stopped mid-sentence, seemingly hesitating to express certain things in an atmosphere where some truths might be better left unsaid. But the first part of his statement was enough to reveal his thoughts.

The Lan Ou Corpse King’s reach had extended, and the once-dominant Yang Xiangfeng’s Dangerous Sanctuary City would be the final barrier against the advancing Magical Sonic zombie swarm. Should it fall, the only thing standing between the swarm and total devastation would be the A Grade "Kunlun" compound base, which might hold its ground for a time. Beyond that, every other base would be completely powerless, practically gifting themselves as food for the swarm!

If Kunlun Base were overrun, the Magical Sonic zombie swarm could advance unhindered, directly passing through two regions to enter J Province. Once in J Province, they’d breach the Central China area, leaving Cloud Gorge Base exposed and vulnerable. The aftermath would reduce it to the same nightmarish conditions as America’s Hidden Dragon Shelter City!

Su Sigui took a deep breath, a trace of tension settling over her. Though she’d evolved to Level 9, she had personally witnessed the man once revered as "God amongst mortals" being violently torn apart by the Zombie King in her past life. Even when humans were on par with zombies in terms of tier, there was still a distinct gap between them!

She wondered to herself: if she were to face off against a Zombie King now, would she stand a chance of emerging victorious?

Her thoughts cast a heavy shadow over the atmosphere in the private room. After a long pause, Su Sigui finally asked, "Have your people discovered any signs of the Silver Armor Zombie?"

"No," the foreign man replied, "but I do have something troubling to report—just two days ago, the Dangerous Sanctuary City accepted a large number of refugees."

Pruka’s expression turned peculiar, as someone of his standing understood all too well the shockwaves such news could cause.

"And then?"

Su Sigui became serious. She’d already sensed that this matter wasn’t simple, though she couldn’t help but guess at certain possibilities.

Observing her expression, Pruka hesitated briefly before continuing, "Those refugees numbered over 10,000—not just them, but other bases have also accepted large numbers of similar refugees. According to my sources among the refugees, they all escaped from Yongming over there, but before they managed to leave, Yongming Base had already fallen."

"What?"

The revelation caused everyone in the room to sit upright. A thoroughly collapsed survivor base having so many living survivors escape—it quickly pointed to an absurd and unsettling possibility!

The room’s air grew strange following Pruka’s words. The group sat silently for a long moment before Su Sigui broke the stillness, instructing, "Go on."

"My sources among the refugees learned that before they escaped from Yongming, the base had already fallen. Surprisingly, after the Magical Sonic zombie swarm breached its defenses, it didn’t slaughter indiscriminately. At least half the population survived, and the swarm, under the control of high-level Magical Sonic zombies, refrained from a killing spree. Moreover, these high-level zombies even arranged for food supplies to be distributed regularly to the people living in Yongming."

"Some refugees attempted to escape Yongming, but those who left were quickly killed by wandering exterior ’Eyes.’ These ’Eyes’ seem to be some kind of detached organ from high-level zombies, functioning autonomously as scouts or patrols. Locally, they’re referred to as the ’Eyes of the Zombie King.’ As for why these refugees succeeded in escaping Yongming—it was only thanks to the arrival of another group of zombies."
