I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1407 - 1402: Desperate with Hunger

Chapter 1407: Chapter 1402: Desperate with Hunger

On the screen, a massive surge of dark purple tide rushed towards a city covered by a transparent dome, with zombies entangled in black and red tendrils, their arms long and forearms abnormally enlarged. They had no fingers, and what should have been their palms were completely occupied by countless vine-like tangled tendrils.

These zombies were familiar to the people as royal zombies from Lan Ou. Such zombies and Zombie Kings are related, being either infected by a Zombie King they belong to or by a similar type of zombies.

Royal zombies are easy to distinguish. Just like the royal zombies of the Chinese Continent, their most obvious feature is that their bodies are covered in dark silver armor, they are the radially mutated kind with blood-red skin, and their swollen bodies resemble giant followers of a sinister Buddha.

These zombies howled as the sound waves formed in the air from their mouths disrupted the assisting combat drones, causing them to disintegrate instantly. Drones unaffected by the sound waves appeared to have lost their controller and wobbled down aimlessly.

The sound emitted by the Demon Sound Zombies is at a special frequency. Even flying zombies of the same type would be greatly affected upon hearing it, and the same goes for humans, but even more so. Even with the screen as a barrier, hearing the sound of the Demon Sound Zombies can bring about a surge of negative emotions and even a loss of the ability to act or think, resulting in madness.

For these reasons, the sound was not played in the footage, but witnessing the sound waves was enough to feel the terrifying howls of the Demon Sound Zombies!

The scene in the video was an open area, which seemed to be cleared by the Human Sanctuary City to address the zombie horde, removing buildings outside the city that could obstruct the view, also allowing people to see the scale of the multitude of zombies!

The vast ground was already covered in dark purple "patterns." Among the large number of Demon Sound Zombies, it was hard to distinguish where there might be a Level 8 zombie. No one knew what exactly happened; only a high-altitude video clip remained. The once immense Sanctuary City, its tall anti-zombie walls, had become ruins. Inside, one could only see severely damaged buildings and small black dots formed by the roaming Demon Sound Zombies. Yet, even so, the striking blood-red on some streets still jarred everyone’s nerves.

Hiss~

Tang Ye heard many people gasp in shock. The Sanctuary City in the video was in the Chinese Region, and the appearance of the zombie horde formed by Demon Sound Zombies in this place was trying very hard to convey a message!

There were many people crowded around the building, which should have been a noisy environment, yet eerily, not a single voice was heard. The whole scene was silent. Some people seemed to have realized something, silently contemplating, while others shook their heads in despair.

Unbeknownst to them, humanity was on the brink of life and death, yet no movement was seen from their own kind to address the situation. Were they waiting for death?

"It looks like they’re really desperate for food," Tang Ye sighed. From looking at the world within the hive, most zombies develop territorial instincts like wild beasts when they evolve to higher levels. If that was the case, then his territory was the entire Chinese Continent, which is why he was also known as the Chinese Zombie King.

In the electro-linguistic language of zombies, the term ’follower’ is literally translated from the word ’believer.’ Whether it’s the believer or the Zombie King himself, they need food to sustain their activities. This food is the energy and vitality of a zombie, and there’s only one way to conserve energy, which is to fall into hibernation. However, it seems that Zombie Kings wouldn’t make such a choice anymore.

So, it would be better to seek new food sources, which lie in the territories of other Zombie Kings.

The Demon Sound Zombies forming such a massive horde could only mean one thing: the Zombie Kings of Lan Ou Continent had turned their attention to the Chinese Continent. This made Tang Ye wonder if the presence he sensed that day was from the Lan Ou Corpse King, but even after sending silver-armored zombies to the source to investigate, he found no suspicious places, only a mass of dead zombies of their own kind nearby.

On second thought, something seemed off. Lan Ou Continent was to the west of the Chinese Continent, so the source of the perception should also come from the west, but that strange sensation came from the east, much like someone new to a place, performing a sort of scouting action.

At this time, the Nightmare Zombie King of Lan Ou Continent had not yet appeared in China. Unfortunately, most of Tang Ye’s silver-armored zombies were concentrated in the South China and North China regions, with South China having the most. In many places, especially near the former United District, practically no non-silver-armored zombies of the same kind could be seen due to the efforts of the Level 8 silver-armored zombies.

In addition, there were also quite a few silver-armored zombies distributed in the East China region, but very few in West China. Almost no silver-armored zombies were present where the Demon Sound Zombies appeared, so Tang Ye couldn’t use these offspring-infected silver-armored zombies to check on the situation of the Demon Sound Zombie Group.

Originally, Tang Ye didn’t want to intervene because if humanity, except for the Royal Court, was exterminated, then his mission would be considered complete and he could retire early. But suddenly remembering Su Sigui, he couldn’t help but fall silent.

"Khan..."

Hong Heixin hesitantly spoke up from behind.

"You want to stir up trouble, huh? I’ll give you one chance. Is that kid Abeng still at Cloud Gorge Base?"

"Huh?" Hong Heixin was taken aback and took a while to react. When he finally came to his senses, the corner of his eye twitched involuntarily.

"That..."

"Enough, you saw what’s up there, didn’t you? I’ll take a few people, round up some of our kind, and head west to find those Demon Sound Zombies and give them a warning. I’m reminding you, you’d better bring Abeng. If you don’t have enough to show strength, you’ll regret it."

"Oh... Okay... Sure." Hong Heixin nodded his head, immediately adding, "Then I’ll be going first."

Tang Ye watched the overly excited figure leave and couldn’t help but smile. Unbeknownst to him, Su Sigui watched the huge screen, raising a hand to shield one of her eyes, the content on it flashing before her.

The viewing lasted only a brief time before quickly transitioning to reports of less pressing matters. Su Sigui stood for a while, only moving once the people around her had dispersed. She glanced towards Tang Ye’s direction, her emotions hidden as she continued to walk towards an unknown destination.

Today, the long-disbanded council reconvened, Su Sigui having arrived long ago and after a lengthy wait, saw the members of councils from places other than the City of Bright Moon start to arrive one by one.
