Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Fewer Zombies, Victory Is Ours

Ten military heavy trucks drove toward the direction of the Yellow River.

The uniform green color gave off an imposing aura.

Bai Xiqin, through the Water Python, knew that Captain Zhu had brought these heavy trucks. It was by providing large quantities of weapons and vehicles to the Fire Phoenix Safety Base that he became the person in charge of the base.

And these things were mainly obtained by Captain Zhu using his former identity and experience to open a police station’s vault.

The massive bodies of the trucks drove confidently on the beach.

Instead of charging directly, the leading truck stopped some distance away from Zhang Yiming.

The first to get off was Captain Zhu.

He didn’t know when a few strands of white hair had grown on his head, making him look somewhat aged.

The torment of not finding Xiao Song had been agonizing for him.

“Everyone off!”

Captain Zhu made a gesture to get off the truck.

Five minutes later, people gradually got off the truck, but their eyes showed some dissatisfaction toward Captain Zhu.

It would have been better to just drive over and crush the zombies to death.

They didn’t have to get out of the truck.

Though they were considered the elite of the safety base, they still feared death.

If it weren’t for Captain Zhu’s promise to give guns and ammunition, plus a heavy truck for killing Zhang Yiming, probably no one would have been willing to come.

Captain Zhu’s speech on the broadcast was passionate, yet very few Superpower Users genuinely wanted to help.

During the apocalypse, the most important thing was to act cautiously.

If they really wanted to help, they wouldn’t agree rashly either.

They would inquire about what kind of existence Zhang Yiming truly was.

It wasn’t hard to find out that Captain Zhu had recently been leading Superpower Users to attack the Zombie Village from time to time, and every time, except for Captain Zhu himself, everyone else was annihilated.

Besides these, there were rumors about him.

Legend has it that Zhang Yiming could easily mobilize a horde of zombies.

No matter how powerful a Superpower User was, it was difficult to retreat unscathed from a zombie horde.

People from other safety bases weren’t fools; who knows if this is a conspiracy devised by Captain Zhu and Zhang Yiming together!

The concept of world peace is just a joke in the apocalypse.

Surviving is already so difficult; who has the leisure to think about protecting the world?

These over a hundred Superpower Users were all coveting the heavy trucks and weapons.

They weren’t fighting for justice but for their own interests.

“Captain Zhu, you wouldn’t be talking about those few dozen zombies, would you?”

A Third Rank Superpower User suddenly sneered, pointing toward Zhang Yiming’s direction.

There are only thirty or so zombies; a few of us can handle one each, which is more than enough.

They thought the task would be difficult and involve a zombie horde~

Didn’t expect it to be just a few dozen zombies!

“That young man must be the Zombie King Zhang Yiming, right? There’s an old man beside him who also seems to be a Zombie King!”

A pudgy Superpower User’s eyes flashed with greed.

The Crystal Core in the Zombie King’s brain must contain immense energy. He had recently managed to break through to a Third Rank Superpower and needed a High Rank Crystal Core to solidify his foundation.

Not to mention the Crystal Core, even the Zombie King’s body would have people willing to pay a high price for it!

Zombies as perfect and flawless as humans are something all major bases vie for.

It wasn’t just the pudgy man; others who came along with him also had greedy looks in their eyes.

“Hiss—I really see a Zombie King for the first time, they seem no different from humans.”

“Yeah! They really look no different from humans. That young man looks like a college student who hasn’t graduated yet, and that old man reminds me of my grandfather, with that same hunched back.”

The Superpower Users observed Zhang Yiming and Old Tao from a distance, discussing in low voices.

Like shopping for groceries, without any fear.

The ignorant are fearless.

They were humans and couldn’t sense the existence of zombie brainwaves, so they didn’t understand how terrifying Zhang Yiming was, only finding the young man’s appearance to be gentle.

Not at all like a grotesque, terrifying zombie.

Another reason was that they relied on their numbers and the guns and ammunition they held.

No matter how powerful the zombies were, they couldn’t withstand bullets, right?

Hence, the Superpower Users looked at Zhang Yiming without fear, even thinking about how to snatch the Crystal Core from Zhang Yiming’s head among the many Superpower Users.

The Zombie King hadn’t been killed yet, but the humans were already harboring their own malicious intents.

“You should be careful; zombies only die when hit in the head, and Zhang Yiming is not that easy to deal with.”

Captain Zhu frowned at everyone’s relaxed vigilance.

To be honest, he had gone to the Zombie Village several times with Superpower Users, each time getting overwhelmed by the suit-wearing zombies before even seeing Zhang Yiming’s men.

Today was truly the first time facing off as enemies.

“What’s there to be afraid of, Captain Zhu!” The pudgy Superpower User spoke again, “There are few zombies; we’re sure to win. Just drive over and finish it quickly.”

More than a hundred Superpower Users, all Second and Third Rank High Rank Superpower Users, a few mere dozens of zombies don’t stand a chance.

“Yeah! Just drive over; it’ll do!”

Other Superpower Users chimed in agreement.

Waiting to finish up and go back for the guns and ammunition.

Had it not been for Captain Zhu’s generous offer, they wouldn’t have come all the way here to support the Fire Phoenix Safety Base.

“Let’s walk there directly; we can’t use the vehicles.”

Captain Zhu squinted at the dozens of strangely shaped zombies, seemingly searching for someone.

Xiao Song.

The distance was too far for Captain Zhu to see which one might be Xiao Song, as all the zombies had hideous, decaying faces that concealed their true looks, making it impossible to identify if Xiao Song was among them.

A hint of grief flashed through Captain Zhu’s eyes, and his fingers slightly contracted.

This time, he must find Xiao Song intact.

Whether it meant using human Crystal Cores for absorption or feeding it flesh, … it didn’t matter.

“Why can’t we use the cars?”

The pudgy Superpower User expressed some dissatisfaction.

Fat people always prefer not walking; why walk when you can drive?

Looking at the current situation, crashing through with a heavy truck would quickly end the war and grab the Crystal Core speedily.

“The trucks are precious; it would be a pity if they broke.”

Captain Zhu glanced again at the dozens of zombies, looking somewhat anxious.

He wasn’t sure which zombie was Xiao Song and didn’t want to accidentally hurt him.

“The cars are for us; why are you worried!”

The pudgy Superpower User muttered but did not insist further.

The trucks were indeed important; walking would do!

After all, there were many people, and this battle would quickly end.

“In a moment, I’ll start negotiating with Zhang Yiming, and you act according to my cues.”

Captain Zhu spoke in a low voice.

He needed to find Xiao Song first, and once he did, he would have no more scruples.

“Okay!”

The pudgy man patted the hard object at his waist, nodding readily.

The things Captain Zhu offered were enough for them to live comfortably in the apocalypse.

Even with high Superpower abilities, there were times when they feared zombies and mutant animals, terrified of accidental scratches.

A gun gives one a great sense of safety.

Zhang Yiming stood lazily at the edge of the Yellow River, not looking at the approaching Superpower Users, but at the calm river surface.

“If we end up fighting, don’t make it too bloody.”

Zhang Yiming’s serene voice reached Old Tao’s ears.
