When Zero saw it, he had an indescribably complicated feeling.

It was the place where the two of them had met that day at the University of Lampitz, where their fates began to intersect. Not wanting to be separated by nearly half a year, Zero once again set foot in the academy city. It was as if fate had inadvertently changed its course and brought Zero back to this place.

Arriving at the University City was not an accident, but the result of a reverse derivation after observing the route of the walking dead. From here, the living corpses set out, crossing the complicated and broken city road, and finally arriving at Remt, becoming part of the huge sea of corpses.

This was the nest of the living corpses, but the number of them heading towards Remus was far from being a steady stream. In fact, when they arrived at the University City in the evening, there were almost no more zombies to be seen.

They were on the rooftop of an abandoned factory building near the University City. From this direction, there were still living corpses in the University City, but they had stopped sending reinforcements to Remt. However, what was strange was that where did these living corpses from the Higher Education Mega Centre come from?

At the same time, there was a series of questions.

Why did the living corpses gather? The purpose of attacking Remus? And, there was also the most important question. Where are the intelligent beings behind this series of events?

Agatha opened her eyes.

The golden-haired beauty had been standing at the edge of the rooftop with her eyes closed ever since. She was facing the direction of the University City as she activated one of the abilities, ”Life Perception”. This ability was similar to Anthony's spiritual scan, but not all of it. Mental scanning used one's spiritual force to scan an area, and then model the area in one's mind.

Although the Life Perception was also used to scan the entire area with spiritual force, the only difference was that this ability was mainly used to determine the number of lives in the area as well as their location.

When Agatha opened her eyes, a few glances fell on her. Agatha found an indifferent gaze and saw zero.

”How is it?”

”Not very optimistic.” Agatha reached out her hand and gently tucked the strands of hair behind her ear. ”There are about two thousand life reactions in the University City, but their level is extremely ordinary. They don't show the kind of reaction an intelligent life should have.”

”That's normal.” ”If it's an intelligent life form, you should know how dangerous it is to be discovered. So if they really exist in this school, they must be hiding themselves. ”

”If that's the case, then we'll have to use the stupidest method.” Feng stretched his back and yawned.

Zero nodded and looked at the blonde woman, ”Captain Agatha, it looks like we need to split up for now. We will search from east to west and from east to west. If we find intelligent life forms, we will be able to contact them through the communicator. Remember, don't provoke it. ”

”I see.” Agatha was just saying this when an explosion came from a street to the northeast behind them.

Within the smoke from the explosion, there were electric snakes coiling around. From afar, he could see more than a hundred zombies near the explosion site, including a butcher and two bomb corpses. They were like bees that had seen Honey, quickly gathering towards the explosion site.

”It looks like our Captain Beryl has a lot of work to do.” Agatha smiled softly, her smile so clear that Johnny and Jonah were both stunned.

”Ignore him. I actually hope to complete the mission in advance before he arrives.” Zero signaled them to leave, and Feng and the others began to move. Zero looked at Agatha and said lightly: ”Take care.”

After Zero left, only Agatha's team remained on the rooftop. The simple but sincere words still lingered in her ears. Agatha smiled, and her attention returned to the present. This time, we must let everyone know that we are not some idle scout. ”

Agatha's determination was evident from the other side of her slender fist.

By the time Agatha left the roof, the sky had already begun to darken.

It was dark.

Nightfall, but the world is not pure black. The faint red light of the sky shone through the radiating clouds on the wild ground, replacing the moonlight of the old era. The wilderness was not as quiet as it usually was. Some of the smaller mutated beasts were gradually leaving the university city and the city where Remus was. This place had already become a battlefield for the living and the dead. Regardless of which side, their auras would make the mutated beasts living in the ruins feel uneasy or even fearful.

Under the urging of their instincts, they chose to leave. Especially in the vicinity of Remt, the smell of living corpses and the smell of gunpowder chased away all the mutated beasts nearby, causing the species here to change from a rich variety of species to a single species.

The battlefield in front of Remus was not as lively as it was during the day.

After only one afternoon of fighting, the battlefield was littered with the corpses of five thousand soldiers and the wreckage of a thousand soldiers.

This was an intense offensive and defensive battle. Both sides had experienced a number of reversal situations, but in the end, the living corpses were temporarily pushed back, allowing Remult to obtain the initial victory.

Now, the Ramter base was filled with the sounds of jubilant singing, but it was the Ramters who were celebrating their first victory in days.

However, Avenot seemed to be deep in thought as he sat in the command car. On the tactical board in front of the commander, there was a video playing. The content of the video was the entire fight in the afternoon. It was shot by dozens of surveillance cameras, and was cut professionally so that Avenot could watch the fight from a panoramic perspective.

In the two hours before this battle, humanity had the absolute advantage. The might of the missile armoured vehicles and artillery tanks covered almost the entire battlefield, causing countless living corpses to constantly die. But with the lack of ammunition, this advantage was quietly lost. Just as the two powerful tanks stopped their bombardment, a vanguard formed from dozens of butchers took their first powerful charge at the human defense line!

The onslaught of butchers was very moving. They were like biological tanks that, in the absence of heavy firepower, had been fired at full blast across the human blockade, destroying the defenses that had just been set up by the soldiers with their crude but crude weapons.

The fortifications built using the liquid gel technology were unable to withstand the huge force of the butcher's attack. Fortunately, Avenot decided on the spot and sent out all the remaining team members of the Destroyer Hammer from the base. He also had the help of the Shield of Dawn, a unit of light descent, to repel the butchers' attacks. However, in the next wave of attacks, over a hundred bomb corpses were dispatched.

These free moving biological bombs posed a fatal threat to the human soldiers. If not for the limited number of them, the newly built defensive line would have completely disintegrated under the suicidal attack of these new zombies.

For the next two hours, the situation remained tense. The number of living corpses made up for their lack of firepower. There were a few times when the corpse sea almost destroyed the defense line, and the soldiers had used their lives as the price to fill the gap in the defense line, giving the comrades behind them the opportunity to beat back the living corpses.

For two bloody hours, soldiers died every minute. The battle situation tested everyone's mental strength and willpower. Fortunately, the soldiers of Asgard managed to survive this ordeal. Thus, they left behind the corpses of hundreds of soldiers.

By the last hour, the living corpses had become frantic and irritable. They also changed their tactics, throwing live corpses from the air into human positions by the butcher or the Ripper, even though most of them were intercepted in midair. However, there would occasionally be some monsters that would slip through the net. Living corpses were no threat to those with sufficient strength, but they were just common slave warriors. Once they were approached by these fast moving monsters that did not fear death, they would become a huge threat.

In this strange way of fighting, the human position was slightly disordered. And when the living corpses began to build a human wall, the chaos only continued to expand.

Perhaps they felt that this tactic was too inefficient as the living corpses could no longer be thrown at them by the high-level monsters. They built a human wall and charged towards the fortifications like giant waves. In such a situation, even if the living corpses were killed below, the dead on the human wall would fall from the sky and roll into the human position like drops of water on a reef.
