Chapter 432: The Advance of the Grand Army

Naturally, the result was that everyone quickly rushed back to Ordos City.

Yes, they could have left first, but if humanity was destroyed, where would they have a place to stay?

You should know that it’s not just a problem of millions of people now. The capital city is surrounded by a zombie horde. If the city falls, humans will turn into zombies. With an additional million zombies, the power of this zombie ocean will grow by at least half.

At that time, no matter where they hide, they will not be able to save humanity from being destroyed and ultimately facing extinction.

They are not only fighting for humanity, but also for themselves.

Inside the Ordos City meeting room, there was already no one present. The illusionist had stopped sending illusions long before, not letting them see Su Rui’s betrayal, but directly informing everyone of the approaching zombie horde.

However, Xue Wangfeng and the other person in the meeting room did not leave. He looked at the empty seats without saying a word.

“News just came in that Su Rui failed and is now dead.”

Xue Wangfeng seemed unsurprised, casually asking, “How did he die?”

“According to witnesses, he died from a powerful mental attack that burned his soul and turned tangible.”

“A mental attack turning tangible? That’s quite interesting. It’s indeed very deadly to our kind now.”

This person Xue Wangfeng, is also a member of the corpse puppet clan!

Xue Wangfeng’s voice now sounds just like Su Rui, who had the personality of a zombie back then, with no emotions.

“I’ve always said Su Rui would have trouble. His human heart weighs too heavily, his character too proud. That’s why he still hasn’t fully transformed into a member of my corpse puppet clan. His human heart has been in conflict.

Remember, his orders only required keeping Zhang Mu around. The rest could have been taken care of when Lord Ginseng King’s poison took effect.

Delaying things only brings trouble upon oneself.

His surrender was only because he was close to death, forced to do it. It’s completely different from willingly following the king like us. Even if he doesn’t die, his human heart will struggle for who knows how long.

Sooner or later, it will affect the king’s plan. If he dies, that’s good. Initially, the king granted him eternal life only because of his brother.”

Xue Wangfeng’s eyes seemed mocking. He didn’t acknowledge Su Rui, this kind of half-man, half-corpse corpse puppet.

“But because I know he doesn’t truly belong to our corpse puppet clan, the king never revealed too much to him.

It’s sad that Su Rui didn’t know what happened to his brother Su Liang, even when he died. He probably thought Su Liang was also given eternal life by the king and would live forever.

Su Rui and Su Liang, a silly pair of brothers, it’s better they died so there won’t be trouble in the future.”

The man standing nearby, with a slightly stooped body, kept agreeing, “The boss is right, I never liked that Su Rui anyway.”

The man’s eyes gleamed mischievously, and he took the chance to ask, “Boss, as I mentioned before, when can I truly join the corpse puppet clan?”

Xue Wangfeng glanced at him and said slowly, “After this big battle, living people will need Lord Ginseng King’s power to become part of the corpse puppet clan.”

By swallowing two whole cities this time, it will surely provide enough energy for the resurrection. Then, Lord Ginseng King and the king will transform a large number of people into the corpse puppet clan.

“Even though your awakening ability is average, if you perform well now, I will ask the king to give you a spot.”

“Thank you, sir.”

The young man looked excitedly at Xue Wangfeng, praising him. Although Xue Wangfeng had lost human emotions, the compliments from people still made him feel good due to human habits.

“By the way, how is the situation in Hohhot City?”

“They were all lured near the original body of Lord Ginseng King, poisoned by medicine. Xiao Nan and Huyan Tu launched sneak attacks, Bara from the Golden Scale Wolf Cavalry died in battle. Despite being poisoned, Zhang Yi was so strong and worked together with Bara to defeat Xiao Nan before he could be turned into a corpse puppet.

However, Huyan Tu’s mechanism technique caught Zhang Yi off guard when they were facing Xiao Nan’s attacks together.

In the end, Huyan Tu escaped after being heavily injured, while Zhang Yi, with severe injuries, left with over twenty remaining second-rank revolvers, rushing back to Hohhot City at top speed.”

Unexpectedly, Bara, who appeared to be on the same side as Xiao Nan, did not betray humanity in the end. It was the usually low-profile but fiercely aggressive Huyan Tu who had already fallen into the hands of the corpse puppet group. He let Xiao Nan strike first, then pretended to stand with Zhang Yi, only to viciously attack him from behind, betraying the extreme trust Zhang Yi had in him.

After a moment of careful consideration, Xue Wangfeng spoke slowly.

“Eight War Riders, four dead, one defected. Only Zhang Yi, Hachikuju, Qizilbash survived.”

“Zhang Yi was also injured, and the Eight War Riders are essentially no more. The last bit of threat has become meaningless.”

“Indeed, the king’s will is strong, sir, your contribution is invaluable. Eventually, you will surely be granted a better body by the king.”

The person beside him took the opportunity to flatter him, and they both left the venue in the dark. As for the crowded venue that was full just now, they naturally ran to the nearby city wall.

Hearing that a million zombie horde is approaching the city and will soon be at the gates, isn’t that alarming?

Led by the Four War Riders, everyone got ready for battle, and they themselves all stood on the city wall, looking into the distance where they could already see a small group of zombie soldiers.

A thick layer of gloom weighed on the hearts of everyone in the city. As the atmosphere grew heavier, this feeling of unease increased gradually, with whispers of anxiety and rumors spreading throughout the city.

“The leaders haven’t returned yet, what should we do?”

A squad leader of the Grey Wolf Riders looked anxiously at the dark mass of the approaching zombie horde inching closer towards them. He asked his surrounding companions with some urgency, feeling like they had lost their backbone without Su Rui, unaware that their most revered leader had abandoned them, with no trace of him left.

“Look, the zombie horde is still some distance away. We’ve already had Shao Liang and Qin Meng release flying mutated beasts to go inform the leaders. I don’t know if they will make it in time.”

It’s fortunate that there are two national treasure-level evolvers in the city who can tame flying mutated beasts. Otherwise, they wouldn’t know how to inform the four advancing teams.

An older person on the side replied to the young man who was anxious just now and then asked a question.

“Lin Qing, have the catapult stones and fuel been brought over?”

“Elder Meng, they have been taken out from the storage, and are on their way to the city wall. I instructed them to hurry up, and as for the defense outside the city, the earth evolvers have already arranged it. This time, the zombie sea attack came so suddenly, we can only do this for now.”

The old man nodded, appearing to be a powerful evolver as well. He pondered much more than the young man.

“Well, you’ve done well. Such a large number of zombie hordes attacking suddenly, it’s like it was planned in advance. We never heard any news of zombie hordes gathering before, but now it’s right in front of us.

Are all the scout teams stationed in the outposts useless?”

This matter, is not simple, and unfortunately the leaders are not in the city at the moment.”

The old man looked at the large approaching zombie sea in the distance, his expression tightening. He commanded the people beside him, “Since the leaders are not here, as the Grey Wolf Rider’s First Captain, I will temporarily stand in for Su Rui leader.

Spread the word, not only the Four War Riders, but gather all the earth evolvers currently in the city.

Anyone who disobeys the gathering order, no matter who they are, will be executed on the spot!”

“Yes, Elder Meng!”

“Understood, acting leader!”

With the Four War Riders controlling Ordos City, which is about to be besieged, preparations are still proceeding smoothly.
