N-A-A Chapter 136 Zombies
Chapter 136 Zombies
Chapter 136 Zombies
Tang Zijun couldn't quite describe what it felt like to be in a fantasy world; he was simply filled with confusion.
Tang Zijun was so preoccupied with her questions about the gods of the mythical era and the dream world that she had no time to care about anything else, even though the most important thing now was to find a way to leave this place.
The city's outline on the horizon—that was the place Tang Zijun had wanted to explore last time. Since the dream world possessed these things, it meant that intelligent beings lived here.
Before you understand the local environment, talking to the locals to get some information is a convenient option.
However, this is on the premise that one must have a certain level of combat capability; otherwise, it would be foolish to gamble one's life on the goodwill of an unknown entity.
"Wolf Rider, the atmosphere here is making me feel so uncomfortable."
Hyacinth shrank her neck slightly, her whole body hanging on Tang Zijun's shoulder, looking quite tormented.
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun felt a mix of emotions. Even through the mask, he could clearly smell the stench of blood in the air.
The ground beneath my feet was a strange dark red, as if it had been soaked in endless blood and had become soft. With each step, I could feel the soft texture, as if I might sink into it at any moment.
It is said to be a grassland, but there is no trace of nature in sight. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a dead land.
As a creature of the secret realm shaped by the Tree of Life, Tang Zijun was not too surprised that the hyacinth would be repelled by this environment.
"Hang in there." Tang Zijun didn't have any better ideas, so he could only take out the rainbow crystal flower. "Will you feel any better holding this?"
Seeing the crystal that Tang Zijun handed her, which was about half the size of her body, Hyacinth hugged it in a daze. Immediately afterwards, a breeze from the Northwest Gobi Desert swept over her.
Although the earth element rainbow crystal flower is not very compatible with the Flower Fairy race, it depends on the context.
In this eerie environment, the hyacinth that came into contact with the rainbow crystal flower was like a lost traveler in the desert finding an oasis, instantly receiving a huge boost.
"Thank you." Hyacinth's chest heaved, her soft moans echoing in Tang Zijun's ears, leaving him somewhat helpless.
Seeing that the hyacinth's condition did not show any serious signs for the time being, Tang Zijun turned her attention back to the current scene.
To get to that city-like place, they had to cross this wasteland, but to be honest, Tang Zijun always felt that there was something about this wasteland that made him very uncomfortable.
The sky was a suffocating gray-black, heavy like a giant curtain, pressing down on us and making it hard to breathe.
Occasionally, a few streaks of red lightning flashed by, bringing a strange glimmer that only made the terrifying scene in the dim light even clearer.
In the wasteland, skeletons can be seen everywhere.
Some are complete skeletons, as if telling the story of their struggles before death; others are scattered fragments of bone, rolled on the ground by the wind, making a chilling sound.
Tang Zijun frowned slightly. He wasn't a medical student, but he did have some knowledge of human bones. A significant portion of the skeletons in this wasteland were human remains.
It at least looks like some kind of humanoid creature.
"Where exactly is this place?"
Tang Zijun was on edge. As she walked into the heart of the wasteland, a thick red fog rose around her, looking like atomized blood.
The outline of the city in the distance became somewhat blurred, and the ground underfoot became much stickier, so much so that Tang Zijun felt as if she were touching glue.
In the dim environment, no one knew what terrible thing they might encounter next. Tang Zijun spread out her senses and moved forward cautiously.
The wind shifted across the wasteland, bringing with it a mournful, low howl. In the dim light, footsteps could be heard intermittently, but when Tang Zijun looked over, she saw nothing.
It's a pity, if only Langya were here.
The roar of the engine tore through the fog. Forget about the eerie environment, just charge straight in and solve everything.
As expected, I am still too weak, or rather, I have too few forms at my disposal. If I could unlock more new forms, I wouldn't be so passive when facing different environments.
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere around her, Tang Zijun's resolve to increase her combat strength intensified.
Just then, a roar came from behind Tang Zijun, along with the sound of running.
"Wolf riders, watch out!"
The sound of hyacinths rang out, and Tang Zijun reacted.
The reverse side kick, although the movement is relatively large, has the advantage of long attack range and great power, and can keep the enemy at a safe distance.
With a powerful whip kick, a dark figure was sent flying with a muffled thud as flesh collided, crashing heavily into the thick fog.
Feeling the unusual sensation on the soles of her feet, Tang Zijun frowned, a sense of doubt rising in her heart.
Looking closely, one could see a humanoid creature wobbling as it got up on the ground not far away.
"What the hell is that?"
Tang Zijun narrowed her eyes slightly.
It was a creature similar to a human, except that its body was extremely damaged. Its skin looked as if it had been scorched by fire, charred, cracked, and covered with bloody lines. Pieces of it peeled off, revealing the muscle tissue underneath.
I don't know if it was because of my kick, but the other person's chest was clearly caved in, and thick black liquid mixed with some flesh and blood seeped out from the wound, which looked extremely disgusting.
At the same time, low growls could be heard coming from the surrounding fog.
Tang Zijun looked around and found human-shaped outlines appearing in her field of vision.
Their eyes were empty and lifeless, just two holes that shimmered with an eerie light. These "people" had their mouths wide open, revealing yellowed teeth and long strands of saliva.
These creatures had twisted and deformed limbs, looking as if they had been broken and then randomly pieced together. Some joints were installed backwards, and with each step they took, their bodies swayed and made a 'crackling' sound, which was terrifying.
Hyacinth was too frightened to speak. She clung tightly to the rainbow crystal flower, pressing her body close to Tang Zijun, as if this could bring her some sense of security.
Tang Zijun's face also looked somewhat solemn.
"Zombies?"
Influenced by various horror books, Tang Zijun now harbors great hostility towards this type of supernatural creature.
The main problem is that these creatures are often accompanied by insidious and pervasive viruses. In the settings of some comic book companies, once infected by zombies, even superheroes will be reduced to man-eating monsters.
Tang Zijun couldn't be sure what kind of virus was in the bodies of these guys, but when faced with the unknown, it was always safest to be cautious.
The latest novel is first published here!
When the zombies spotted the intruder, their previously slow pace suddenly quickened, and they roared in a low, guttural voice as they jostled and pushed each other as they charged toward Tang Zijun.
The densely packed figures, combined with the dim environment and fog, evoked a sense of despair welling up from the bottom of one's heart.
"They're coming! They're coming!"
Hyacinth cried out in alarm, which only fueled the ferocity of the zombies.
Because of the hyacinth on his shoulder, Tang Zijun gave up the idea of fighting these monsters head-on. Of course, he didn't intend to do that at first, mainly because he found it disgusting.
A flash of silver light, and the sharp card sliced across my arm.
Tang Zijun felt a weight in her hand as the [Crescent Spark] gun materialized.
The fastest zombie lunged at Tang Zijun, its arms outstretched, looking like a monkey.
But Tang Zijun's gun was already pressed against his face.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tang Zijun pulled the trigger.
boom! !
The zombie's entire upper body instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, and silver bullets whistled past, even enveloping the zombies behind it for a moment.
"Hehe!"
More and more zombies gathered around, their faces contorted in a ferocious expression, uttering incoherent sounds, their eyes filled with nothing but bloodlust.
Tang Zijun stepped back slightly and pulled the trigger again towards the nearest zombie.
If there's any advantage to the shotgun equipped by the knight, then not needing to reload is definitely Tang Zijun's favorite feature.
The bullets of 【Crescent Spark】 are formed from moonlight and contain extremely terrifying destructive power. Even without the moon, they can still automatically gather and reload.
These silver bullets are incredibly powerful; the fact that one shot shattered the arm of the alien mantis is proof enough. And against creatures like the Netherworld Clan, one shot would basically wipe out a whole bunch of them.
This also shows that although these zombies are relatively fast, their bodies are similar to those of the Netherworld Clan and they have not yet reached an extremely powerful level.
Another shot rang out, and the bodies of two zombies exploded. But this time, Tang Zijun keenly noticed something falling out of the zombies' bodies and landing on the ground.
Moving her gaze, Tang Zijun discovered it was a dark red prism fragment, shaped like a three-sided cone, which looked extremely strange.
So this is... a leak of materials?
Tang Zijun's lips twitched—a naked-eye 5D immersive zombie-fighting experience, Tang Cao would definitely love this.
Turning around and sliding, Tang Zijun casually picked up the prism shard, then pulled the trigger again at the charging zombie.
"Wolf Riders, there are more and more of these guys." Hyacinth had no idea what Tang Zijun was thinking; she only felt that they were about to become food for the monsters.
"I saw it."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun knew that things couldn't continue like this.
There are too many zombies here, it feels like we can't kill them all. Rather than getting entangled with them, we might as well rush out of here as soon as possible.
After confirming the city's location, Tang Zijun lowered her body slightly.
"I hope that town hasn't become a zombie abode. Hold on tight to the hyacinth, I need to speed up."
