60 Locating Zombie Lord (1/2)
20 hours since the battle against the second zombie horde commenced. Tang Shaoyang had his people retreat from the battle and regroup in empty space.
His people included the Fogged Ape Tribe. Even after a long battle, the number of zombies was still a lot. The estimation of the number of zombies was triple or even quadruple compared to the first horde.
They tried to search the Zombie Lord but to no avail. The long battle continued until finally, Tang Shaoyang decided to retreat. He could still continue the unending battle but not for his people.
They were exhausted, even the vigorous ape was exhausted after the long battle.
”We can't continue the battle just like that!” Tang Shaoyang turned toward Pride, ”The number of the zombies we face is much more than before! Also…”
Pride met with his Master's gaze.
”We will change our tactic! We will be entering the fogged park and starting a new round of battle there!”
”Uh!? Why?” Pride could not understand the decision at all. He thought they were doing fine. If they rushed to the Fogged Land, they would be defensive.
”Haven't you realized it yet?” Tang Shaoyang questioned Pride.
”Huh!?” The Demonic Ape truly did not understand.
”Huh…” He sighed and pointed at the other apes behind Pride, ”Look at your kind!”
Pride looked back, still clueless what his Master talked about.
Tang Shaoyang was left speechless as Pride had not realized it yet.
”You number! Look at your people! Many of them have fallen in the battle!”
”What's wrong with that? It's an honor for a warrior to die on a battlefield!” Pride hit his chest twice proudly.
”Stupid! If they can survive it's much better than dying on the battlefield! We are not fighting against the time, we can take our time, using your advantage to fight them defensively!”
If it was Fogged Land, the Fogged Ape Tribe had a high rate of survivability. It was their domain and they had a big advantage there.
”But what about our people? The Fogged Land put us at a big disadvantage, ” Zhang Mengyao raised her hand.
Yes, the fogged park might give the ape a big advantage, but it would give the opposite effect for them as their vision would be limited because of the fog.
Moreover, the zombie could still move freely under the fog. The zombie could locate their enemy with their sharp hearing as zombies were attracted by the noise.
”We have a different task! Our task is not to confront the zombies head-on but to search the zombie lord! After we locate the zombie lord, then we will face them together!” Tang Shaoyang tapped Pride's big arm and stood in front of the big guy.
Pride looked at Tang Shaoyang into the eyes. Then he realized what Tang Shaoyang was true. If he lost all his people in the battle, it was not a victory even if he defeated his enemy.
”I know!” Pride nodded
”Good if you understand. Get enough, we will start to move in half an hour!”
After that, Tang Shaoyang turned around and faced his people, ”It's time to switch! You guys go back and call the first team here! I will be waiting for half an hour here!”
They nodded and left the gathering place, leaving four girls behind. Zhang Mengyao, Fu Dandan, Dai Wenqian, and Li Na.
”What are you doing? Go back!” Tang Shaoyang ordered the four girls.
”No! I will stay until the battle is over!” Zhang Mengyao replied firmly.
”Nope! This is an order! You go back now!” Unfortunately, Tang Shaoyang was even firmer with his decision.
”But…”
”I order you to go back, Zhang Mengyao! If you are worried about them, Lu An will replace your position during your absence! Go back now!”
