I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 655 - 653: The Arrival of the Zombie King_1

Chapter 655: Chapter 653: The Arrival of the Zombie King_1

Like a dam-bursting flood, the shadow quickly swept across the buildings and streets of Yunchuan City. Within moments, the soldiers felt an abrupt darkness as the whole area was engulfed by this sky-veiling, sun-blocking shadow.

Everyone was gasping, their mouths agape with terror in their eyes, unable to hide it. Even if they had known that Water Guanyin would be huge, knowing one thing and seeing it with one’s own eyes are entirely different issues.

The two simply cannot be compared.

Fu Yangyang similarly stood stunned, clutching the Evolution Crystal in his hand, not knowing what to do. Gradually, the figure of the entity casting the sky-blocking shadow began to take shape. It was covered in bark-like skin, with three incredibly thick tentacles branching out into countless strands at their ends. From afar, it appeared as though it had three tentacles for feet, resembling the legs of a crab. With each step, their sharp tips drilled a large hole into the ground!

Its body resembled an overturned gourd, thicker at the top than the bottom, and on its head was a crown, as though it was a woman standing with her hands on her hips in a long robe.

"It... it’s coming towards us!"

Fu Yangyang stammered out in shock. This Water Guanyin was a hundred meters tall, standing firm and tall under the sky! It gave an incomparable sense of oppression!

Booming!

A deep, bell-like roar resounded, although no one knew from which part of its huge body it originated. With this enormous shape and overwhelming pressure, the soldiers wondered whether it was an olden god that had stepped out of the Cthulhu Mythos, absurd and desolate.

"How... how do we fight it?"

"Exactly! We already struggled so much against just a Level 5 zombie, and now here’s another one. I don’t think this guy would be easier to handle than the water cup head."

Flames spouted continuously from the soldiers’ gun barrels. Luckily, their excellent equipment and fierce firepower managed to temporarily hold back the tide of zombies, but the situation was anything but hopeful.

"We might die here."

"I don’t want to die here! My wife and child are still waiting for me at home! I can’t die!"

"I... I also don’t want to... because..." A soldier stammered for quite a while, but he couldn’t come up with any particular reason to stay alive.

"Hehe..." Fu Yangyang started to laugh desolately, his eyes full of mockery as he swept across the others, before bursting into loud laughter.

"You guys... you guys... Hahahaha, it’s hilarious, do you all think you’ll be fine once you escape? Not to mention where we would run to, look, we’re surrounded by zombies. Hahaha..."

Fu Yangyang laughed until tears streamed down his face, "If I ran away, where would we go next? Back to the base? We’ve already fled once, are we going to flee a second time? If this Water Guanyin can’t kill us here, what’re we gonna do when it reaches the base? How many times can we flee?"

Then, he abruptly stopped laughing, his expression serious, "You can run if you want, but I’m tired of running. Like many others, I am alone in this world, with nothing left that I care for. Someone else has already avenged my beloved possessions — my coat, my glasses... But even so, I still don’t want to die. Sorry, guys... I’m just too tired. If I had the choice, I wouldn’t want to die. My parents wouldn’t want me to die either, but... can we escape? Just tell me, who among you thinks they can escape?"

"Once our bullets run out, where’re we going to run, huh!"

Bang!

As he spoke, Fu Yangyang forcefully smashed the Evolution Crystal in his hand onto the ground, pulled out his curved zombie-slaying sword, and roared defiantly at Water Guanyin, who was walking towards them with an imposing presence.

"You guys might be scared! But I’m not, I’m going to die anyway, and nobody’s going to mourn for me. No-one could care less whether I’m alive... in the face of death, I’d rather go down fighting!"

Boom boom boom...!

Click~

Just then, a soldier’s weapon ran out of energy. Instead of reloading, he threw his weapon aside, pulled out his zombie-slaying sword, and similarly roared, "That’s right! Better to die a glorious death, I have no worries, no ties in this world. I came with nothing, and I’ll leave with nothing!"

"What’s there to be scared of?! I agree with Fu Yangyang, we can’t escape anyway, so let’s fight the zombies to the death! I’ve been fighting for so long, but I’ve never had a close quarters combat with a zombie!"

"Me too!"

"To hell with it, I ain’t a coward!"

"Charge!"

"..."

In a moment, a little less than three hundred surviving soldiers checked their ammo. Most of them took out their zombie-slaying swords, secured the armor on their bodies, and plunged into the wave of zombies.

"Heavy Armor Corps, follow my command! Together, we kill... the zombies!"

"Kill!"

Within seconds, dozens of soldiers discarded their long-range weapons and, brandishing various melee weapons, charged at the zombie hoard. The agile Heavy Armor Soldiers took the lead, using their heavy armor to resist the zombie hoard, making a killing within zombie’s range!

Witnessing this scene, Fu Yangyang broke down in tears. He had no idea how many times he had cried that day, but it didn’t matter anymore.

"Big bro, should we... "

"Prepare for battle."

Chen Zhou’an twisted his shoulders, making a series of crackling noises as he picked up two zombie-slaying swords from the ground and began swinging them around. The power of a Level 4 New Human exploded forth, tearing through the zombie hoard like a storm.

"Good!"

Chen Zhouquan also felt his blood coursing with excitement as he picked up two zombie-slaying swords and charged into the horde. However, it was clear that no one was moving to attack Water Guanyin.

At this point, every soldier was resolved to die. In their minds, killing one more zombie before dying meant they wouldn’t go into the afterlife empty-handed. If they were to fight Water Guanyin, they would probably die before even squeaking. So, they simply let it approach, even though everyone knew that when it arrived, their entire army would perish.

The previously low morale had reached unprecedented heights at this moment. It was as if a flickering candle in the wind was blazing brightly one last time before burning out.

Most of the soldiers abandoned their flamethrowers, which meant there was no longer any resistance to the advancing zombies. The zombies piled on top of the bodies of their comrades, roaring as they charged towards the incoming soldiers.

Boom!

Gunfire rang out in unison as tank artillery started launching shells, shattering the zombies and their corpses into pieces. A dozen or so armored vehicles smashed into the zombie hoard, knocking them aside. Following that, the soldiers, holding cold weapons, launched a frenzied assault on the zombies.

The soldiers’ sudden frenzy caught the hoard of zombies off guard. The dense sea of zombies was parted, giving the soldiers an opening. The remaining soldiers gathered into this opening, fighting tooth and nail to land one more blow!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The gigantic body of Water Guanyin was getting closer and closer. The mouth on its stomach slowly opened, and the excited humming sound it emitted grew louder and louder. However, at that moment, something strange happened!

The zombies forming the hoard suddenly halted, ceasing their attacks on the soldiers. The soldiers, stunned by this unexpected development, also stopped.

"What...?"

Someone turned to look at Water Guanyin, only to see a black light appearing above its head and slicing sideways across its mountain-sized head!

Screech~

For a moment, the world in front of them lit up. The black light passed through Water Guanyin’s body, and half of its body fell off, revealing a bloody mess of mangled flesh!

"What just happened?"

The soldiers were puzzled. Then, their eyes widened in horror; they saw a figure floating in the sky — a figure dressed in a black robe, with white hair flowing in the wind, and black mist swirling around him.

"That... that’s... the White-haired Zombie King!"
