I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 801 - 798

Chapter 801: 798

"Am I really just a sacrifice?"

Looking down at the brutal, blood-soaked battlefield below, the words of those two soldiers from the recent memory were piercingly harsh, as if they were slapping his aged face!

Previously, in a fit of rage, he had killed those two soldiers for three reasons. First, he couldn’t accept the reality that his army of over three thousand, equipped with a mix of pre- and post-Apocalyptic weapons, could possibly withstand the Peace Party, bolstered by the resources from the Jinhai and Fu Hui Control Gates.

Having survived this long after the Apocalypse, including his mediocre life before it, he had finally risen to prominence. Before the Apocalypse, he had never thought about such things. After he had divided a portion of the Gao’er Control Gate Legion forces, he felt his spirits begin to rise.

Just yesterday, he was fantasizing about leading his followers to carve out an empire like the heroes of history, which excited him tremendously. Initially, his ambitions had not been grand, but as his status grew, so did his enjoyment of the intoxicating effects of power.

Similarly, his ambition swelled!

He started to dream of a future he never had before, thinking he would always remain an unnoticed, insignificant person. However, the arrival of the Apocalypse, this disaster to humanity, had elevated him above tens of thousands, an unquestionably surreal and dream-like experience.

But reality struck him hard the next moment, how could he let go of the beautiful dream that had just begun to form in his heart?

He couldn’t accept that the power he had finally acquired could just vanish without a trace!

The second reason was anger. He refused to admit that facing the forces of the Peace Party he would be easily defeated, believing he should at least be able to fight back. But the battle had just started, and his soldiers were already telling him to run, how could he not be infuriated?

The third reason was that he still harbored hope that someone would come to his aid. He couldn’t believe that no one would watch as his realm, Xu Hui’s, was wiped out. If Henian destroyed him, what if they were next? Would anyone come to save them then?

But now, it was all too clear. He, Xu Hui, was a mere sacrifice, his downfall served as a warning to others who had yet to follow in his footsteps. Perhaps some would bow to Li Henian out of fear, handing over all their power.

Others might choose to continue resisting to the end.

The battlefield had descended into a one-sided massacre, and the demise of Xu Hui was inevitable. Thoughts of escape began to creep into his mind, knowing full well that if captured by Li Henian, his end would be unbearable.

However, at this moment, Xu Hui’s face bore a ferocious smile. His gaze swept over every corner of the battlefield, especially focusing on the survivors huddled in the distance, among whom hidden spies might be lurking.

"See? Everyone sees it, right? Everyone wants to see me fall, to see the extent of the investment by the Peace Party. Since you all wish to witness Li Henian’s tactics, I will show you. Your ruthlessness will be paid with a painful price! Once Li Henian defeats each of you one by one, I wonder if you’ll still be in the mood to watch from the sidelines!"

Xu Hui was nearly driven insane, already imagining the cries and helpless pleas of others following his own defeat by the Peace Party.

The more he thought about it, the more manic his expressions became. However, at this point, the mechas of the Peace Party were nearing his headquarters, leaving no time for his delusions to continue.

A look of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, he turned and walked toward the parking area with a few loyal subordinates, where a transport aircraft was parked, its pilot having long been ready.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Anyone who doesn’t want to die, get down!"

"Next, we will focus on searching for the rebel leader, Xu Hui!"

"Kill!"

Death Knights from the Sky stood atop buildings, riding corpse sculpts. The knights pulled out their horns and shouted down at the army of the resistance.

Fighting the Peace Party with such a disparity in equipment had already tormented these soldiers, and as soon as they heard the words "Surrender and you won’t be killed," they shamefully dropped their weapons and crouched down, clutching their heads.

The Peace Party’s mechs shuttled past them, heading deeper into the resistance forces, and occasionally, a synthesized machine voice rang out.

"Surrender and you won’t be killed, hands on your heads and crouch down!"

"Surrender and you won’t be killed, hands on your heads and crouch down..."

Meanwhile, at the main base of Xu Hui’s resistance, being a Level 4 New Human, Xu Hui naturally had exceptional hearing and of course heard the sounds from the battlefield, his face growing even darker.

"Damn the Peace Party! Damn Li Henian! You just wait!"

Facing the overwhelming might of the Peace Party, Xu Hui could only flee to save his own life, but hearing that the Peace Party was bent on arresting him only added to his urgency.

The war came quickly and left just as fast. He was no match for the now thriving Peace Party.

In no time at all, the Peace Party was about to capture him, the leader. In his panic, Xu Hui had initially planned to take his wife and four young sons with him, but now, there was no time for that. In the time it would take to get his young sons and wife out, he could have been captured numerous times.

Xu Hui hesitated, unsure if he should take his family with him, but then he thought of his eldest son and first wife who had died at the hands of zombies right when the Apocalypse broke out, while his current wife and children were only with him for three years after he rose to power after the Apocalypse.

Emotionally, he obviously wasn’t as attached to this post-Apocalypse wife and children as to those he had before the Apocalypse. Thus, with a hardened heart, a dreadful thought arose in Xu Hui.

"No ruthlessness, no husband. If I save them, I’m doomed! Forget it, I’ll leave first, survive and then find another time to check on them."

Xu Hui decided that his life was clearly more important than his wife and children’s freedom!

With that, he continued towards the direction of the parking lot where the transport aircraft was parked, taking his few subordinates with him.

Meanwhile, back at the main base, wherever the Peace Party’s mechs and the army of soldiers passed, under the chant "Surrender and you won’t be killed, hands on your heads and crouch down," the resistance soldiers dropped their weapons and complied, sparing their lives, while those who resisted were shot on the spot.

One after another, powerful new humans quickly moved through the area crowded with kneeling resistance soldiers. Under the lead of a surrendering soldier, they climbed the stairs all the way to Xu Hui’s office.

Bang!

Soon, the door to Xu Hui’s office was kicked open with great force, and the fully armed Peace Party soldiers searched around like bandits. A little later, they gathered together, their faces looking ugly.

"Report! Xu Hui is not found!"

"Damn, that guy might have escaped!"

Level 4 New Human, Little Wu, thought of something and immediately led his men towards the likely location of the aerial transport equipment.
