Chapter 91 - Apocalyptic Zombies! (2/2)

“Oh?”

Pain Star nodded but was unconcerned, and she slowly rose and continued flatly, “That snake is merely a rank-seven intermediate. It won’t affect the course of the battle much anyway.”

Beside her, the horned boar slowly rose to its feet then.

Behind her, Killer Star’s corpse suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze so still that it would weird out anyone.

At the same time, Pain Star looked out into the distance—night had arrived, but the moon was very bright, so it was not too dark.

Smiling faintly, she said, “Intelligence suggests that a rank-nine elite is stationed at the Xibei area and could reinforce our objective at any time, so let’s avoid dragging this out and dreaming too much. Launch the attack right now—we shall trample over Jinyintan Village, take Jiang He’s head and slaughter our way into Lingzhou City!”

Earthen Majesty’s gaze twitched then, and he said quietly, “My lady, if the rank-nine comes…”

“It’s fine.”

Pain Star smiled. “Sixth Elder has arrived at Mount Dadong three hours ago, representing the Saint as he negotiates with the Graywolf King. When we had taken Lingzhou City, Sixth Elder would arrive to preside over it.”

“When that happens, the fraternities of the Western Frontier and Yungui would come to reinforce us too. With that, our Holy Faith shall use Lingzhou City as our base to slowly devour all of Xibei.”

Then, with a single command from Pain Star, the Ferals and human corpses began to charge rapidly at Jinyintan Village like hordes of zombies.

Some of the corpses had missing limbs or broken skulls, and yet they all ran swiftly, covering mountains and hills at a pace that could match martial artists.

Most of the corpses had been normal humans, but under Pain Star’s control that strengthened them supernaturally in death, each corpse could match a rank-one martial artist in ability. Most importantly, they would never fear death!

Indeed, rank-one martial artists could lose the ability to fight if you stabbed them once.

On the other hand, when it comes to Pain Star’s corpses, you could stab so many holes that they became a sieve, but they would still try to kill you, howling as they did so!

Meanwhile, back at Jinyintan Village.

Jiang He stepped out of his yard after digging out all his potatoes.

The whole village was silent, with every villager having moved away.

Stretching out lazily, Jiang He took out an orange bottle gourd and blew into it.

Bang!

A puff of smoke landed on the ground, turning into Second Brother.

“Gramps!” He greeted Jiang He.

“Use your all-seeing eye and all-hearing ears. Check where the Sky Demon Cultists are hiding.”

Second Brother nodded and leaped up the roof, his eyes shooting beams as he looked around. Still, he could not see anything as there were too many obstacles in the distance, and so jumped down, placed his ear on the ground, and listened.

That was when his expression changed. “Gramps, around thirty kilometers eastward, a lot of people are rushing in our direction!”

“Oh?”

Delight showed on Jiang He’s face and he laughed out loud. “Good. And I was wondering where I should start my search.”

Stuffing Second Brother back into his bottle gourd, Jiang He climbed into his car and headed to the east side of the village, and began burying potatoes.

Even as he dug, he said, “Luckily, I’ll probably be rid of most of my problems tonight, or I won’t be able to eat or sleep in peace… still, there’s another wave waiting after this one…”

But that cures the symptom and not the cause!
