Chapter 263 - 263: Disaster of the Zombie Beasts
However, to superhumans, the Zombie Virus was not frightening. Even the Undead Clan composed entirely of zombies, had become recognized as intelligent beings by the tens of thousand races within the Black Mist Zone.
The reason was that superhumans with Source Power could already resist the infection by the zombies.
The Undead Clan had always been researching a topic—how to infect supernaturals.
This topic had actually made progress.
A long time ago, the Undead Clan had developed a technique to infect Physique Realm superhumans.
This was the Corpse Soldier technique.
However, this method was labor-intensive and consumed a tremendous amount of resources. In short, it was a futile project with no practical value.
The same applied to the exotic beasts.
All exotic beasts were superhumans with Source Power within them. Therefore, there had never been any precedent of exotic beasts being infected and turning into zombies.
However, at this moment, the fusion of Esek and the son of the Beast King broke this precedent!
Esek, after a successful fusion, could even transform exotic beasts from the Source Realm into zombie beasts.
Moreover, the infection speed was extremely fast!
It did not take much thought to realize the huge strategic value hidden in this.
The Hundred Thousand Mountains was the stronghold of exotic beasts, and no one knew how many of them were inside.
Now, Esek could transform exotic beasts into zombie beasts.
It could be said that Esek alone could already influence the outcome of the Three-Clan War!
And this was the surprise and revenge that the Undead Clan gave to the Giant Clan and the Insect Clan!
If one looked down from the sky, they could clearly see a purplish-black poisonous mist spreading in all directions, with the Esek at its core.
But the main direction of the spread was towards Archean City.
Each time a zombie beast was transformed, this zombie beast would become a new source of infection.
This infection method was the same as that of zombies infecting ordinary people, causing the scale of the zombie beasts to increase exponentially!
In just a week, on the 360th day of the Black Mist Calendar, the number of zombie beasts had become uncountable.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Hao Huang and Blade had just settled down in Archean City…
They could not be blamed for being slow.
The Giant Clan needed to consolidate the forces within Archean City, set up camp, and send spies to explore the Hundred Thousand Mountains gradually.
And the Insect Clan’s hive needed more time to develop.
Today, in the City Lord’s Mansion of Archean City.
Hao Huang and Blade sat at the head of the table, quietly listening to the meeting of the officers below.
As Source Realm experts, Hao Huang and Blade were not part of the military structure, and they were not well-versed in military matters. In terms of war, Source Realm experts were probably like strategic nuclear weapons. They just needed to be mascots on normal days and attack at critical moments.
Just as the Queen Blade was feeling bored, Hao Huang’s expression suddenly changed.
“Wait a minute, what did you guys just say?”
A Giant Clan officer spoke up, “I just said that the scouts sent into the Ten Thousand Mountains recently have suffered higher casualties than before, and some scouts reported that the exotic beasts inside the Hundred Thousand Mountains seem to be showing signs of unrest.”
As Blade trimmed his nails, she muttered, “Hao Huang, what’s the point of asking this?”
Hao Huang ignored this brainless woman.
As an expert of the Giant Clan, Hao Huang had a certain amount of military experience.
He vaguely sensed that something was wrong from the words “scouts suffering higher casualties” and “exotic beasts showing signs of unrest.”
Just as he was about to speak, a Giant Clan officer crashed through the door and rushed in, looking panicked.
He shouted in panic, “Zombies, no, not zombies… Exotic Beasts!”
“No, not an exotic beast either… It’s… It’s…”
The Giant Clan was a bunch of idiots. At this moment, this Giant Clan officer was so flustered that he could not articulate his words clearly.
Hao Huang narrowed his eyes.
His Source Realm perception made him vaguely sense the stench of corpses in the air.
He stood up suddenly and spoke in a low voice as he walked out.
“Full military alert.”
“Blade, let’s go out and take a look.”
A formidable surge of terrifying Source Power fluctuation erupted from outside the city.
At this moment, it was dinner time for Lu Ming.
Raising his head, Lu Ming’s gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the ceiling above his head and see five figures flying in the sky outside the city.
“A Source Realm battle, huh?”
Lu Ming muttered and then focused on the food in front of him again.
Unlike Lu Ming’s carefree attitude, Roda, Quan Chao, Roxin, and the others were shocked.
Roxin mumbled, “How could the Source Realm experts rush into a battle so quickly?”
To her, the Source Realm battle was akin to ordinary people witnessing a gun battle, something rarely seen.
However, Roda and Quan Chao rushed out of the door and quickly returned with pale faces.
“The city’s defense formation has been activated at the highest level!”
“The Giant Clan Legion and the Insect Hive have also been dispatched to the front lines. Although we haven’t seen the specific situation on the battlefield, from the commotion, the situation seems to be a bit unfavorable.”
“What’s even worse is the Source Realm battle outside the city. Brother Lu, you have no idea what I saw…”
After Roda finished speaking, Lu Ming immediately said, “Exotic beasts and the Undead Clan… or rather a combination of Exotic Beasts and the Undead Clan. They’re called Zombie Beasts.”
With that said, Lu Ming wiped his mouth and pointed above his head.
“The ones fighting Hao Huang and Blade are three such Source Realm monsters.”
After hearing what Lu Ming had said, everyone fell silent.
But, they were not flustered—Lu Ming was the backbone of this team, and his calm expression at this moment could also calm everyone’s restless hearts.
Roda was the one who spoke first, “Then, Brother Lu, what do we do next?”
“No change in original plan,” Lu Ming said simply, reassuring everyone with five words. Then, he smiled at everyone and said, “With me around, you can be rest assured.”
On the same day.
The Giant Clan and the Insect Clan stationed in Archean City repelled the first wave of the zombie beast attack.
Among the three Source Realm zombie beasts, one died and two fled. These zombie beasts were slightly weaker than when they were alive, but not much weaker.
And as the outnumbered side, Hao Huang and Blade also suffered injuries. While their injuries were not severe, they were inevitably chilled by the situation.
Now, they finally understood why Esek had come to the Hundred Thousand Mountains…
Unfortunately, they had realized it too late.
They immediately reported this information to the higher-ups and soon received orders from the higher-ups.
Stop the zombie beast tide in the Hundred Thousand Mountains at all costs!
Reinforcements would arrive in a few days, but until then, Hao Huang and Blade had to shoulder all the pressure themselves.
After ending the communication, Hao Huang could not help but curse.
Because this mission was too heavy.
Although only three Source Realm zombie beasts had appeared on the battlefield today, Hao Huang could vaguely sense that there were many more Source Realm zombie beasts secretly observing.
Moreover, in just one day, the two of them had already suffered considerable losses in their forces…
At this moment, Hao Huang’s face was filled with worry.
But the Queen Blade narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing within them..
