Lian Jie:”…”
Simba:”…
Xu Rufang could not help but mutter, “Is he a charlatan?
Son, I told you he’s not a good person. Let’s go.”
Lian Jie also thought his mother had a point.
However…
“Pa pa pa.
Intense applause echoed.
It was the four Tanks, waving their human-sized palms and applauding.
Good!
Wonderful!
You’re right!”
We are the true evolution!
Lian Jie and Simba:”…”
The four Tanks stood up, looking at Sima Xiao, their small eyes radiating fanatical light.
After clapping for a long time, the Tanks spoke in unison, “Yes, True, Evolution, We are!”
Sima Xiao smiled and gestured for them to calm down. “Yes, that’s right! We are the true Evolvers! The path we are taking is the correct path of human evolution!”
We shed our human forms, we discard our human emotions. We believe in evolution and embrace evolution. We are the children of the Holy Tower, and only we have the potential for everything!
And now, those despicable humans have enclosed themselves in the Holy Tower, daring to claim it as their own!”
Can this be tolerated?
The Tanks said, “No!”
We can’t!
We can’t take it anymore!”
Sima Xiao raised his hands again, passionately proclaiming, “This is an era that belongs to us! Brothers, comrades, family members! Let us reclaim the Holy Tower and embrace our evolution! Fight, shout, and devour! Use our strength to shatter everything!”
His gaze vaguely turned towards Simba and Lian Jie as Sima Xiao continued, “As long as all of you join me, you can share in the glory of the Holy Tower! Not joining? Enjoy watching from the sidelines? Enjoy hesitating? Enjoy doubting? Then you will only be left defenseless!”
The Tanks: “Break through the defense!”
“Attack!”
Eat!
Break the defense!
Lian Jie and Simba began to have a headache.
Just as the two of them were reflecting on whether they had made a mistake by standing here, Sima Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and said again, “Of course, since I’m taking the lead this time, I won’t let everyone work in vain.”
“I previously devoured an Awakened with healing superpower and I obtained his power.”
If anyone needs me to heal for food, feel free to come to me. You have chives, and I have fertilizer.”
Simba and Lian Jie gasped.
This Sima Xiao not only knew how to talk, but he was also quite capable.
The healing ability was similar to Xu Rufang’s self-healing ability. They were both abilities that could rapidly induce the evolution of zombies.
It was expected that Simba would be tempted—who would not want an endless supply of snacks?
Even Lian Jie was also tempted—he indeed needed the genes of different Awakened ones to increase his strength.
With such a temptation in front of them, even Lian Jie and Simba could not help but fall into silence.
Amidst the voices of the Tanks chanting “Break the defense” and “Break the strong defense,” Simba and Lian Jie nodded one after another, “Count me in.”
“Count me in too.
Sima Xiao revealed a smile that seemed to have everything under control.
It continued, “Alright then, this matter is settled. Tomorrow, we will launch a large-scale attack and reclaim the Holy Tower in one fell swoop!”
At this point, the gathering of zombie kings came to an end.
At that moment, Simba suddenly spoke up, “Why don’t we take down Good Hope Village first?”
Sima Xiao thought about it and nodded, “Sure.”
The human safe zone was only so big.
Good Hope Village was also an outpost of the human safe zone.
It was a sound decision to attack Good Hope Village first.
However, Sima Xiao was unaware of Simba’s hidden agenda.
Back then, Simba had been terrified by Lu Ming and had fled from Wangcun. Now that he had reached Level 4, he still did not have the courage to approach Good Hope Village again.
Right now, letting Sima Xiao test the situation in Good Hope Village was a very wise choice.
How should we attack?”
Simba was about to tell Sima Xiao that there might be a monster in Good Hope Village, but before he could say anything, he saw Sima Xiao’s sinister smile.
How should we attack?
“Attack directly!”
“What? Are we hunting now and still concerned about methods, about tactics?”
“Sneak attack? Play tactics? That won’t do!
“We have to confront their defenses head-on! Not for anything else, but to prove our strength! Sneaking around is too dirty and doesn’t showcase our superiority!”
Brothers, tell me, am I right?!”
The Tanks, “Awooo!”
Yes!
“Ha.”
“Huh.
Simba and Lian Jie’s eyelids twitched.
They could not help but question themselves.
Was he really serious about this zombie king gathering?
The grand banquet began.
The four Tanks did not have food reserves—and their intelligence was not enough to support such acts of storing food.
The food was provided by Sima Xiao.
Three Level 2 Awakened individuals.
The three humans were bound by Sima Xiao’s tentacles, their faces devoid of expressions of fear or panic, only numbness remained, like a mass of human-shaped dead flesh.
Meanwhile, Sima Xiao waved to the three Awakened individuals and calmly announced the names of the dishes.
These are my collections!
The superpowers of these three Awakened ones are fire, ice, and strength. Every time I consume them, I will only eat a thigh or an arm and use a healing superpower to heal them. It’s like farming. Do you know about farming?”
“Ha.”
Huh.”
Hmph.”
Ow!
“It seems that everyone knows… In any case, the key is sustainable development.”
Moreover, I also found out that the taste of high-level Awakened ones is better and provides us with more evolutionary energy.”
At this point, Sima Xiao glanced at Lian Jie, hinting, “So, if any of you want to farm, you might as well increase the level of your crops? It doesn’t have to be much, just lower than yourself by one to two levels.”
As he spoke, Sima Xiao tore off the Awakened person’s legs and distributed them to Lian Jie, Simba, and the four Tanks.
For a moment, the sound of chewing and screams intertwined, as if performing a magnificent symphony.
That night, the seven zombie Icings dispersed and began recruiting manpower.
But it was not something that could be done overnight; It would take several days.
Although his words were overbearing, Sima Xiao was still relatively cautious in his actions.
Of course, cannon fodder alone can’t fight a war. We can’t let them take the lead in charging, right? That would be too disgraceful.
It was fine if he did not move, but if he did, he would crush the entire human safe zone like a thunderbolt.
Day 66 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Tuesday.
When Lu Ming woke up, he had no idea about the zombie king gathering happening dozens of kilometers away.
However, the appearance of the tentacle monster yesterday had brought a little shock to Lu Ming regarding the zombies.
The Tentacle monster.
It should be a Level 4 zombie.
Although they only had a long-range one-sided confrontation, the formidable self-healing ability of the tentacle monster still made Lu Ming uneasy… Who knew to what extent zombies could evolve?
This thing was becoming more and more peculiar.
After the morning’s exercise, Lu Ming’s attributes became:
Name: Lu Ming
Strength: 171.1 (173.9)
Physique: 172.4 (174.6)
Agility: 203.4 (205.6)
Free Attribute Points: 45
Fitness Lvi7 (1500/1700)
After a short rest, while helping Zhang Chengcheng cook, Lu Ming pondered the issue of the tentacle monster.
Just then, Meng Jie walked over from not far away and shouted to Lu Ming from a distance.
Little Lu? Are you busy?”
Lu Ming looked up at Meng Jie and smiled. “Sister Meng, I just finished work. What’s up?”
“It’s like this.”
Meng Jie slowly walked over As she walked, she said, “Officials from the official shelter came earlier. It’s Huo Sheng and Bai Tianyu. Huo Sheng said that he wanted to meet you and talk. What do you think…”
Lu Ming thought for a moment and nodded, “Sure, let them come over. We can talk while eating..”
