I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1598 - 1592: Troublesome Autumn

Chapter 1598: Chapter 1592: Troublesome Autumn

"Who can drive?" As soon as they emerged from the old building, Brother Shi asked the others. Ghost Head, Bald Head, Crooked Neck, and Snapper exchanged glances, and Ghost Head said, "We all can, right? Who wants to do it?"

"I’ll do it, let me!"

Because of his family situation, Crooked Neck couldn’t afford any delays and chose to be the driver himself. Everyone agreed and got into the car.

After fiddling with the monster truck for a while, Crooked Neck finally started it. After mowing down a few unlucky zombies, they slowly merged onto the highway, heading towards Zhen City.

With the car, they moved much faster. During the trip, Brother Shi checked his phone mailbox but found no messages; his brother hadn’t replied, which rekindled the anxiety he’d just managed to suppress. But he quickly pushed it aside.

Maybe it’s just that my brother’s situation is complicated, and he can’t reply to me right now.

It was already 2 PM and five hours had passed since their 9 AM meeting time. He had no idea what the situation was over there. He scrolled through some entertainment apps, trying to find reports on the matter, but unfortunately, Dangerous Sanctuary City hadn’t released any new information.

Because of this, every time he saw on the navigation that they were getting closer to the White Wing Base, he felt more distracted.

Among the six, only Brother Shi’s phone was functioning, which meant Ghost Head and Bald Head sitting beside him kept their eyes glued to his phone screen. Suddenly, Ghost Head exclaimed, "Look at this."

He looked at where Ghost Head was pointing— it was a video about the silver-armored zombies, and his curiosity piqued as he clicked on the video.

[Recently, multiple survivor bases have noticed abnormal gatherings of silver-armored zombies, who frantically assimilate non-conforming zombies. Does this indicate that the Chinese Zombie King is also stirring?]

[According to reports from Changchuan Sanctuary City’s newly formed observatory, silver-armored zombie hordes numbered Y0708, Y1608, Y1711, and Y2004 are heading towards North China, and other hordes are showing signs of similar movements. Several survivor bases have chosen to temporarily relocate.]

The video content was all filmed with drones, showing many cities. The silver-armored zombie hordes looked like silver waves advancing in a certain direction, so numerous that just seeing them made one’s hair stand on end. Even though the audio was somewhat muted, you could still faintly hear the thudding sound of their steel-clad feet hitting the ground!

It’s hard to imagine what would happen if someone fell into that horde.

One segment was particularly shocking. The silver-armored zombie horde wasn’t advancing slowly anymore but started running. At first, it seemed they discovered a survivor base, but as the perspective shifted, their target turned out to be other non-silver zombies!

Those poor black zombies had no idea what was happening, getting knocked to the ground by the silver-armored zombies, who tore into them mercilessly. Eventually, their decayed flesh began to fuse, becoming dry and hard like a parched riverbed with cracked earth!

The normal zombies were massively assimilated, transformed into silver-armored ones, and joined the horde to attack their own kind. This scene was eerily reminiscent of how humans were turned into zombies by anti-life substances before the Apocalypse, losing all reason, attacking others, and turning them into zombies like themselves!

"Damn, these silver-armored zombies are the zombies among zombies, aren’t they?"

"Why do they have these codes? What do they mean?"

"I’m not entirely sure about these codes either, but the ’Y’ at the beginning is the initial for silver-armored in English, and the numbers are related to discovery order and scale. Like Y0708, if I remember correctly, it was the seventh zombie horde discovered, with the 08 indicating a horde of around eight hundred thousand."

"What if a horde is only tens of thousands?"

"Then it would at most be considered a larger zombie group. Now, hordes under a hundred thousand don’t really count for much."

"This is freaking terrifying, talking about hundreds of thousands at the drop of a hat."

Having watched the entire video, the group was still in disbelief. Although they’d heard silver-armored zombies could transform other types of zombies into similar ones, seeing it for themselves was hard to accept.

They browsed other videos but didn’t find anything else interesting, making Brother Shi feel bored. He put away his phone to save some battery.

Absentmindedly, he looked up at the sky. This subconscious action puzzled him; perhaps the beautiful sight from yesterday made him think such scenes would be a daily occurrence. But sadly, today’s sky was overcast, not a hint of blue in sight.

Feeling disappointed, he sighed, contemplating the far-off places he couldn’t help but murmur, "Truly a season full of troubles; the magic sound zombie horde is bad enough, and now these silver-armored ones are joining the chaos."

"Not necessarily." Upon hearing Brother Shi’s remark, Snapper, sitting in the passenger seat, shook his head. However, the others knew what he wanted to say and just smiled. Yong, sitting at the back, looked at him with curious eyes.

But he only watched and didn’t ask.

"Let’s not dwell on it. Let’s quickly settle down at White Wing. At least we’ll be safe." Ghost Head stretched lazily but hadn’t relaxed when the car came to a screeching halt, causing him to scream and almost fall into the seat in front of him.

"What the hell was that?"

Ghost Head, still shaken, looked around. Ahead, they could already see the outline of a city. They were on an overpass, and a massive gap in the road ahead made it impossible to pass.

"There’s no road ahead," Crooked Neck remarked, looking forward.

The group quickly got out of the car. The collapsed section of the road bridge was four to five meters long, making it impossible for the vehicle to cross normally.

"Everyone, get out, get out."

"Is that Wangxing City ahead?"

Brother Shi took out his phone to check, and the location showed they’d entered the region of Wangxing City. The city in front of them was undoubtedly Wangxing City.

"Should we carry the car across?" Bald Head asked everyone.

"It seems that’s our only option."

"Wait, wait." Brother Shi quickly stopped them, and Ghost Head and the others looked at him repeatedly.

Brother Shi thought for a moment and hesitated, saying, "Something feels off to me."

"What’s off?"

"I can’t quite put my finger on it," Brother Shi frowned, then added, "Let’s go ahead and take a look at the road conditions."
