Chapter 896 (1/2)

It had only been four years since the day Fengli was first established. When Qin Feng was the mayor, and the time when the black market was still operating here, this place was bustling with people.

But after Qin Feng left, most residents of the Fengli colony had gone with him too. The once glorified colony was only an empty shell now. Its population had dropped sharply and did not recover much the past year.

As compared to the Chengbei colony, only the buildings here were newer. Its population and ability of aptitude users were nowhere near its glory days.

It was hard to imagine that such a calamity would befall the colony that had turned ordinary.

Above the Zimu Mountains, zombie armies were swarming through the horrifying spatial tunnel.

Decaying bodies, dark knights, flaming skeletons were appearing one after another.

A breath from any of these creatures could demolish a colony in the blink of an eye. It was scary to imagine what a thousand of them would do to the colonies’ shaky defense.

The zombie army seemed like a well-trained military troop. They did not ravage uncontrollably like wild beasts. Instead, most of them lined up tidily on top of the mountain while only about ten C-tiers were sent down to cleanse the human beings.

“Run!”

“Mama! I want Mama!”

“Why is this happening to us? Why would such scary creatures appear here?”

Numerous people wailed in despair.

These zombies did not need to purposely hunt down the humans. They spread their rotten aura to every corner of the colony simply by walking around aimlessly.

A lady breathed in the rotten aura before she could cover her mouth and nose. Immediately, her eyes rolled as she fainted and fell to the ground. Her body then decomposed rapidly. Not long after, her eyes reopened but there was no sign of life within. She stood and moved rigidly like a low-tier zombie.

The evil runes spread through the entire town like a suffocating plague.

On top of the zombie army, a bald man sitting on the back of a skeleton mammoth was watching coldly.

The man was abnormally thin. There was no flesh between his skin and bone. Oddly, there was not a single wrinkle throughout the surface. His skin looked artificial, perhaps made from inflexible materials like bones.

One of his hands was slim and pearl white, while the other one was asymmetrically green in color.

He probed the entire Fengli City with its enormous aura. Clearly, he did not find what he was searching for.

“Move on. It’s not here.”

“Yes, My Lord,” A dark knight by the Skeletal Sovereign side replied obediently.

The army finally moved and descended from the Zimu Mountains. Anywhere they passed through, the corpses were infected by the rotten aura and turned into the sovereign’s loyal followers.

“Wait!” The Skeletal Sovereign abruptly waved his hand and the army stopped short under his order.

About ten kilometers away, a spatial tunnel was connected. Qin Feng and Bai Li then walked out from it.

Qin Feng’s senses immediately expanded. Even if they were separated by thousands of kilometers, Qin Feng would still instantly detect the sovereign’s presence.

Apparently, the Skeletal Sovereign had detected Qin Feng as well.

“Just as I have guessed,” Qin Feng said.

Bai Li’s consciousness had also confirmed their enemy’s identity.

At that time, Bai Li was still just a kit fox. She was the one who had shut the dimension. The Skeletal Sovereign’s aura was too impactful so the impression was left in Bai Li’s mind until today.

“The owner of the skeletal hand!”

That was right, this was the same Skeletal Sovereign that was also looking for the Hell Stone previously. Qin Feng was only a feeble aptitude user then. It was pure luck that he could snatch the Hell Stone under the sovereign’s nose.

Though he later lost the Hell Stone in the battle with Z, Qin Feng would never forget about it.
