Like a torrential flood, the Zombie Horde surged forward without any sign of stopping. A bolt of Black Lightning cleaved through the front of the horde, but the gap was quickly filled by the relentless tide of zombies behind. No matter how powerful the Zombie King was, he could not handle so many zombies with just two hands. He could only retreat step by step, using Chaos Power to maintain a distance of about one hundred meters between himself and the horde.
"Ugh..." The Zombie King raised his hand to take a look; his palm was already smoking from the intense heat he generated. Fortunately, the Chaos Crystals within him were continuously creating new tissue, or else he would have been reduced to nothing but a skeleton by now.
However, in that moment of distraction, the Zombie Horde had closed in significantly. With no time to gather strength for a powerful attack, he could only use the most basic Chaos Sphere to slow down their advance.
"Wah!" The Zombie King looked up at the sound and noticed that new zombies were lying in wait on the rooftops of nearby buildings, having appeared out of nowhere.
"This is bad," he realized he was completely overwhelmed. He could face the zombies on the ground, but those descending from above posed a different challenge entirely.
At first, it was just one or two landing beside him, which he could dispatch with a single punch. But soon, dozens began to fall around him, compounded by the relentless assault of the Zombie Horde below.
"Ah!" The Zombie King lost his balance and was knocked to the ground by the horde, which then formed a mound over him.
"Stop!" Ming Juan stood up, her fingers clawing desperately at the window, leaving white scratches on its surface. "Please stop..."
All she could do was pray that Miao Chengmin would survive or that someone would come to help him.
"Ugh..." The battle sword was once again thrust into the shattered asphalt by An Xiaotian, his body wracked with pain as Variant Current flickered and coiled around him. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and tremble all over.
Without any data to rely on, he only knew that his armor was still malfunctioning. An Xiaotian had to continue releasing Variant Current to dilute the backlash from Cosmic Energy. But this also meant enduring an unending cycle of intense pain.
The cries of zombies around him seemed to grow increasingly chaotic. An Xiaotian lifted his face; he could no longer see Miao Chengmin—only a mountain of corpses lay before him.
On one side was the potentially life-threatening Zombie King, and on the other was the Hydrogen Bomb Warhead that still needed his attention. An Xiaotian dared not lose hope, but he felt utterly exhausted.
"Are you ready? An Xiaotian?" he muttered to himself.
"Three, two, one—"
With a sudden surge of strength throughout his body, another wave of excruciating pain hit him as if countless large syringes filled with venom were piercing through him. Each release of Variant Current forced An Xiaotian to endure agony beyond human comprehension.
"Ugh—" An Xiaotian screamed in anguish once more.
"Maybe... I should just give up." A fleeting thought crossed his mind. Tears streamed down his face from the pain; he truly felt he couldn't hold on any longer...
An Xiaotian wasn't a deity, but he had to endure like one.
"No... don't think like that!" He shook his head vigorously. "Giving up is failure; we cannot abandon our future!"
"Ugh—" Another wave of stinging pain from Variant Current struck him. This time, An Xiaotian even shut off the energy core suppressing it in his chest!
"This time, I An Xiaotian... will stand at the corner of the future and question heaven..."
He trembled all over as blood pooled at his lips, paving a path for more fresh blood to flow down.
But what he didn't notice was that the lights in the armor on his legs were already trying to turn on!
"We humans have the power to overcome despair!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
The night searchlights from his legs to the top of his head lit up one after another!
An Xiaotian's efforts and immense suffering were not in vain; the armor began to function, albeit barely. An Xiaotian looked up, like an innocent man released from a life sentence, gazing at the falling snowflakes with a foolish smile, as if he had been reborn.
At that moment, almost simultaneously with An Xiaotian's armor revival, the mountain of corpses exploded with a roar, sending shockwaves that shattered it into pieces. The shockwave was mixed with black energy waves, rushing in all directions.
Instinctively, An Xiaotian lowered his head as he saw the mountain of corpses explode. After the shockwave swept over him, the armor on his head quickly assembled and illuminated the last unlit area of the armor—the orange viewport.
"All systems are functioning normally; lights have been activated for you."
Xiao Ling's respectful and gentle voice echoed in the armor once again, allowing An Xiaotian to find a hint of long-lost intimacy amidst this terrifying battlefield.
"I thought I would never hear your voice again in this lifetime, Xiao Ling." After saying this, Fierce Eagle's mechanical wings spread open, blowing away the debris on the ground. In the mirage created by high temperatures, his feet swiftly left the ground as he charged into the night sky.
"Charge!"
Thanks to this attack by the Soulless Zombies, Zombie King seemed to have found a way to deal with them effectively. Just moments ago, if even two Soulless Zombies had bitten him, he would have been torn to shreds within a minute. Even with Chaos Crystals to regenerate himself, under these monsters' brutal attacks, his body would be shredded faster than the Chaos Crystals could restore him.
Thus, in this life-and-death moment, Zombie King chose to transfer the Chaos Power in his hands throughout his body, creating a barrier that could protect him entirely. This way, even when Soulless Zombies lunged at him, they couldn't touch his flesh; they only encountered chaotic energy that would instantly reduce them to ashes.
The brief protection was enough for Zombie King to gather strength; he accumulated newly generated chaotic energy in his hands and saw that there were already enough Soulless Zombies surrounding him. As he retracted the protective shield, he unleashed all the energy he had gathered at once—resulting in the scene that Fierce Eagle witnessed: the explosion of the mountain of corpses.
"Ouch..." After emptying all his energy, Zombie King felt dizzy; for him now, Chaos Crystals were equivalent to a heart, while the continuously generated chaotic energy was his blood and also his only weapon.
This depletion was akin to losing blood circulation; Zombie King nearly fainted. Fortunately, Chaos Crystals were still supplying him with energy.
"I can't kill them all..." Zombie King glanced at the cleared ground before him and sighed deeply, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Zombie King wouldn't feel at ease due to this temporary calm; he knew very well that this open space would soon be filled with newly arriving Zombie Horde.
"As long as Chaos Crystals are willing to keep providing me with energy, theoretically it can be resolved..." Zombie King looked at the regrouping Soulless Zombies.
"But to kill them all? It might take until Spring Festival."
Zombie King struggled to stand up again and reignited Black Lightning in both hands while surveying the surrounding Soulless Zombies.
"Miao Chengmin, fly up quickly!"
Immediately after came a dull cannon sound; Fierce Eagle was already hovering above Zombie King's back with a launcher extended from his right hand. Following Fierce Eagle's hand gesture, Zombie King looked up into the higher snowy night sky where countless orange flames filled the night like an unprecedented meteor shower!
"What is this?" Zombie King no longer wanted to be surprised—if he returned to Divine Realm after completing this mission, what he witnessed tonight from Fierce Eagle and Blue Face Hero would be enough for him to boast about for years at various banquets in Divine Realm.
"Come over here!" Fierce Eagle did not answer him, "Unless you want to be blown into pieces too."
The Zombie King suddenly rose from the ground, and before Fierce Eagle could react, he was already beside him.
In the next moment, within a radius of five hundred meters, the Zombie Horde felt as if they were standing on a volcano, with countless fiery clouds erupting into the sky, creating a scene reminiscent of a burning forest!
"You..." The Zombie King regretted his decision—had he known Fierce Eagle's firepower was so terrifying, he wouldn't have been foolishly tossing balls and doing hard labor here.
Ming Juan looked at the orange meteor shower in the sky; she didn't know what it was, but she saw it being launched from that armored person's hand, so it must be...
"Boom!" "Boom, boom—"
Earth-shattering explosions accompanied by flashes of light like sunlight erupted, causing Ming Juan's eyes to be overwhelmed by the intense brightness. She quickly shut her eyes and covered her ears, curling up like a headless fly and stumbling around in panic.
"Ah... Mmm!" Just as Ming Juan was about to scream, she immediately covered her mouth, forcing herself to stop her useless fear.
This was only the second floor; below her were swarms of zombies as dense as ants. If she screamed, it would surely bring disaster upon herself!
What Ming Juan didn't notice was that she was not within the explosion range. This meant that the zombies near the fast-food restaurant were just as frightened as she was, but that didn't mean they were unaware of the abnormality.
With a "thud," Ming Juan realized she had bumped into something protruding. It was her shoulder that had made contact.
Then, through her closed eyelids, she could feel the surroundings becoming bright!
"Oh no!" Ming Juan's heart sank; she quickly opened her eyes. The energy-saving lights closest to the window in the fast-food restaurant had all been turned on by her collision!
In a flurry, Ming Juan fumbled for the switch and suddenly pressed it back down with force. Then, fearing that it might pop back up on its own, she held it down for a long time.
This unexpected incident made Ming Juan break out in a cold sweat instantly.
"With such loud explosions, they shouldn't notice... right?" Ming Juan was already so scared that her legs felt weak.
She bent down and hid behind the food counter, curling up into a ball and trembling on the cold marble floor.
"Glug glug..."
The intense explosions had indeed attracted almost all of the zombies' attention. But it was almost all of them.
A Soulless Zombie, frightened and climbing onto the street across from her, lay on an air conditioning unit. It had seen the strange flashing lights from the fast-food restaurant with its own eyes.
A sound resembling thought emerged from its neck as it opened its cracked mouth. Instead of jumping back to its companions, it turned and grabbed onto a brick wall, slipping into the darkened residential room.
