I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 597 - 594: The City of Decadence_1

Chapter 597: Chapter 594: The City of Decadence_1

Zhao Yi was accusing him of everything he’d seen since the apocalypse, letter by letter, until his voice began to choke. His faith, once sacred, had become diminished and worthless in the twisted process. It was discarded and forgotten by him in the end...

He paused for a while without finishing his statement, until he felt tired, mentally exhausted, and then, said with grief.

"But... I still have a family, my only concern in this world. I’m sorry..."

His voice finally lowered. Zhao Yi apologized, then turned to leave his comrades, who had shared life-and-death experiences with him on the high walls. His comrades bit their lips, unsure of how to refute his words, watching as his figure moved farther away.

Some people deem their faith superior to their concern and others consider their concern more important than their faith. These are the only two things that allow people to live with purpose. Zhao Yi belonged to the latter category. Ever since the apocalypse, the creed of people had been dominated by the desire to ’survive.’ Faith? It had become expendable.

Zhao Yi kept running and running, with the soldiers following close behind. He tapped into his fastest speed as a Level 4 New Human. Only when he reached an area that had not yet been overrun by the infected did he feel somewhat reassured.

He led the soldiers to herd the panicked survivors and coldly ignored all the wickedness along the way. He continued walking as if nothing could stop him. But when he saw the armed helicopters from Central Command lifting off to collide with the zombie birds, he stopped in his tracks. His face, which had just calmed down, was in an eerie array of contortions.

"Zhang... Zhang Jinlong! Fuck you and your whole family!"

Seeing several helicopters bravely rushing towards the flock of flying creatures, and a dozen highly defensive aircraft escaping through gaps, Zhao Yi’s facial expression twisted in anger. He could hardly contain his rage any longer.

From this scene, anyone could deduce that the Base Commander had escaped!

Who could have thought that upon learning of the regrouping of the zombie horde to attack the Gaozheng Base, Base Commander Zhang Jinlong had vowed to ’stand with them.’

Looking at it now, he was just a hypocrite!

What enraged Zhao Yi the most was that Zhang Jinlong had taken all the airborne military weapons and vehicles!

There were only so many armed helicopters and fighter jets in the Gaozheng Base. Zhao Yi could clearly tell from one glance that Zhang Jinlong was planning to escape with his men, leaving no escape route for others!

He condemned all seven thousand soldiers to die a heroic death in the base!

Zhao Yi had seen the countless zombies outside. The scale of the zombie horde was probably immense, but he didn’t know how large it was. However, he was sure that it was far more than two hundred thousand zombies!

At that moment, a military vehicle rushed over from behind. A person with a worried face popped out from the vehicle window and shouted to Zhao Yi: "Commander, it’s bad! There are far more than two hundred thousand zombies outside! We caught a commander who was sneakily Attempting to escape from the east wall. Under duress, he told us... he said..."

The soldier’s face turned pale, his body looked weak.

"What did he say?"

Zhao Yi’s heart was lodged in his throat. The bad premonition grew stronger and stronger. He hoped the soldier’s words were not what he was thinking.

But, the reality disappointed him.

"He said it wasn’t just two hundred thousand zombies, but over one million two hundred thousand! Zhang Jinlong, that bastard, told him not to announce it. Now, Zhang Jinlong has probably already left with all the air combat weapons, we... we are doomed!"

The soldier began to shake as he spoke. Initially, they thought they could escape to the Chenyang 133 Base by transport planes if they couldn’t hold off the zombies. But now, there was only one road to death, absolutely no choices.

There was nothing more terrifying than the certainty of death down the road!

Zhao Yi clenched his fists so hard that they began to crackle. His anger at this point couldn’t be described in words. If abusing someone could kill them, he would have already turned Zhang Jinlong into a pool of bloodied pulp!

"Fuck!"

How could they escape from this predicament? The Gaozheng Base was surrounded by zombies on all sides. In no time, millions of zombies would swarm over. Without any flying vehicles, how would they escape?

Especially when considering the seven or eight Level 5 zombies yet to appear, his fear was even more magnified. Dealing with one was already troublesome, let alone seven or eight. And not to mention even more Level 4 zombies.

There were five Level 4 New Humans in the base in total. Zhang Jinlong had probably escaped with his close associates. Now, apart from Zhao Yi, another one had likely died in the hands of the Level 5 Speed Type Zombie.

"Fuck it, I don’t care anymore!"

Moved by a father’s love and desperation, he decided to temporarily abandon the contemplation of troubles awaiting. All he wanted was to find his son as quickly as possible, and then escape!

He looked back. The survivors were rushing towards him and, further away, he could see the massive evolved zombies - like demons emerging from hell - with huge hands, grasping survivors, gnashing and tearing flesh from bones!

Zhao Yi immediately took off running, generating a gust of wind as he shoved people aside in his mad dash.

"Run!"

"Mom... Mom, where are you? Wuu wuu wuu ~"

"Over there! Come on, there are zombies ahead!"

"Help!"

"Where’s my wife? Have you seen her? Where’s my wife?"

"No ... Ah!"

"..."

The streets in the base were in complete chaos, with survivors running amok for their lives. Some blindly drove vehicles ahead, with numerous survivors being trampled to death by the wheels of the very same vehicles, leaving bloody tire tracks all over the road.

Some were indulging in their desires, engaging in a final spree amidst the apocalypse!

Maniacs were laughing, fools were crying, the strong were escaping, and the weak lacked the strength to cry out.

The voices he heard seemed like gentle wind blowing in his ear, the sights he saw were like dispersed smoke. Zhao Yi kept running, his physical power rapidly draining. He ignored everything, focusing only on finding his family as quickly as possible. He surpassed many things and left many people behind.

Ahead, at the crossroads, a large group of zombies suddenly appeared, crowding the road. Zhao Yi paused for a moment, then pulled out a long spear made of H-steel from his back with his left hand. Nuclear weapons had a limit in terms of damage, providing the same power to everyone who wielded them. Cold weapons, on the contrary, had no such limit. In the hands of new humans, they could exude even stronger power.

"Kill!"

Zhao Yi charged into the horde of zombies like a sharp arrow. Amidst the survivors fleeing in different directions, his act was unique. However, these zombies had only just become infected and were not strong. He successfully made his way through the horde.

The moment he emerged from the horde, his clothes were soaked with zombie blood. The odorous smell of rot emanated from his body. At the same time, he turned his head to look at where the zombies had come from.

Down the street, all he saw was a sea of zombie heads, packed together beyond imagination. The putrid decay filled the entire Gaozheng Base.
