Chapter 970: Ambush!

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

On the ground, there was a huge, densely packed horde of zombies. In the deepest parts, there were a few L5s, each of them over 5m tall, their skin covered with thick scales, and looked imposing.

These tank-like behemoths had impenetrable defenses as well as immense strength. Ordinary cannons and rockets would not be able to harm them at all.

Any L5 could easily crush a Type 4 expert, and the only weakness they had was that their speed was not as terrifying as any Type 4 experts. If it had been at the onset of the apocalypse, such a monster would have been anybody's nightmare.

Even when it was already into the 2nd year of the Apocalypse, this sort of monster was one of the strongest monsters physically. Tanks would just be squashed flat under them.

Under Jiang Sheng's lead, Yue Zhong followed after him in the Scarlet Reaper, all the way till they reached the airspace above the group of L5s.

Jiang Sheng suddenly spoke, "Master, Hu Man suddenly cut off the telepathic link between us. I have no way of sensing his location. I can only confirm that he is somewhere in this group. If he does not utilize any power, I have no way of sensing his presence."

At this time, a group of 3m-tall zombies with huge bellies and moving on all fours crawled out from somewhere.

Their bellies exploded suddenly, causing a number of shots made out of the corrosive liquid to fire towards Yue Zhong in the sky.

At the same moment, the various H1s, H2s, and H3s were raised by the L-Types, spitting out powerful fireballs at the Scarlet Reaper.

The mechanical arm of the Scarlet Reaper opened, and a red energy shield coalesced in front of it, enveloping it entirely, causing all the attacks to be negated easily.

Yue Zhong then controlled the wings to flap once, as it disappeared in a flash, and the rest of the attacks missed.

At the next moment, the Scarlet Reaper reappeared, with its wings outstretched, and countless laser beams fell upon the zombies below.

It was as though God's judgment had passed, as the laser beams struck the zombies all in the head accurately. In an instant, over a thousand evolved zombies had their heads exploded, and the life force was absorbed into Yue Zhong's body.

While the energy might be huge to ordinary humans, it was barely enough for the Type 5 Yue Zhong. Even a million low-level evolved zombies might not help him evolve further.

Jiang Sheng suddenly pointed to the west, "Over there, I can feel Liu Xiong's Spirit waves."

These hordes were being controlled by the intelligent evolved zombies through brain waves, and the moment those waves were sent out, only humans with the ability to control zombies or fellow zombies can sense them.

Jiang Sheng was a Type 5 intelligent evolved zombie, thus his senses and perception far surpassed Liu Yue Mei.

Yue Zhong piloted the Scarlet Reaper and shot towards the direction where Jiang Sheng pointed. He immediately saw dozens of L5s.

Just as he flew over there, the L5s began to scatter, dispersing in different directions.

Yue Zhong used the Scarlet Reaper's systems to scan below, and could only sense the immense life force of the L5s masking the Type 5 Liu Xiong.

When zombies evolved to the final stage, they would undergo a transformation, becoming something new. The cruel Flesh-Eaters and Vampires of the 2nd World were precisely such beings, evolved from zombies. Those that fail in their evolution would become Living Corpses without any intelligence, forever doomed to walk the line between life and death.

An L5 was a Type 5 zombie, and they were beginning their next-evolution. Their life force was much stronger than ordinary humans. If they could develop intelligence, they would become true intelligent beings.

Yue Zhong controlled the Scarlet Reaper to open its mechanical arms, and in an instant, multiple laser beams shot down at the heads of the L5s.

Hong! Hong! Hong!

As the explosions rang out, small holes the size of a finger appeared in the heads of the L5s, while black blood flowed out.

"Seems like the level 1 cannons are ineffective. The defenses of their scales are pretty strong."

Yue Zhong looked at the barely injured L5s, and with a thought, the shoulders of the Scarlet Reapers opened up, revealing tightly packed 30mm cannons.

In that instant, red laser beams shot out from those 30mm cannons. When they slammed into the heads of the L5s, they caused explosions, as flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

The lifeless bodies of the L5s then slumped to the floor.

The Scarlet Reaper waved its hand, and a bout of Devil Flames appeared, shooting downwards. The bodies of the L5s were then enveloped by those flames.

Under the influence of the Heart of Hope, the Scarlet Reaper was like an entity on its own, only covering Yue Zhong as an external armor. He could still access his abilities, allowing the Scarlet Reaper to channel them as well.

Finally, one of the L5s corpses split apart, and a shadow dashed out, fleeing towards the distance.

Yue Zhong's senses blanketed the area, and before he made a move, he swept a glance throughout the surroundings, speaking coldly, "Come on out. I've already sensed your presence, there's no point in hiding."

"Your senses are truly astounding, truly the top wanted enemy of our Saint Clan."

From the zombie horde below, 9 figures flew out to surround Yue Zhong.

Of them, 8 were male and 1 women, all of them had bat-like wings. They had suits, while their faces were pale, the men were handsome while the lady was beautiful. They were like Eastern-Europeans. There was one who had a head of long hair, his looks almost as beautiful as a woman, while his wings were made out of flesh. He wore casual clothes and he was the epitome of a beautiful man.

Jiang Sheng pointed at the casual beautiful man and told Yue Zhong, "Master, that is Hu Man."

"Jiang Sheng? Treasure of Hope, Puppet Box?"

Hu Man's gaze was sharp as he placed his hands behind his back. Eyeing Yue Zhong coldly, he said, "You are Yue Zhong? I'm the future King of the zombies, Hu Man. You're pretty brazen, actually using the Puppet Box to control my general. What guys. Still not kneeling to submit to this Seat? If you continue to resist, after this King defeats you, I will wipe out all generations of your family, and kill your loved ones. If you submit, I can ensure that you will be well taken care of for the rest of your life."

Yue Zhong eyed Hu Man coldly and sneered, "Just a bunch of zombies, and you even learned how to be imposing? Your evolution speed is pretty fast eh? Are you all Saint Clan Ancestors from the 2nd World? Meeting 8 of you here that know how to fly, you guys seem to hold me in high regard. Are you in cahoots with these lowly zombies?"

One of the male Saint Clan member spoke, "That's right, we are the Ancestors of the Saint Clan from the 2nd World. Yue Zhong, you're strong, but, you're definitely not a match for the 8 of us. Surrender now and we can spare your life. We will turn you into one of us, allowing you to sit high above everybody else. Yue Zhong, a human can live for a hundred years at most, while we are eternal. Don't you wish for eternal life?"

Immense power and everlasting life, this was what everyone would chase after, and the most tempting rewards for most people.

The Saint Clan Ancestors had used such promises to lure over talents from the human race, making them into their own.

"Hahaha!! You spout too much bullshit. Based on your sadistic nature, you actually have the patience to talk to me? There must be some secret weapon being prepared. However, I'm not going to give you the chance. Just go to hell."

A cold glint flashed across his eyes, and the Scarlet Reaper exploded out with speed, instantly appearing in front of one of the Saint Clan Ancestors. He sent out a palm to grab at him.

The 9 Type 5 experts did not think that Yue Zhong would actually fall out with them and watched stunned as he grabbed the Saint Clan Ancestor, before squeezing him and causing his body to burst apart.

"Witt!! Damn it!! Yue Zhong!! You're dead!! You hear me?!! No one can save you!!"

Seeing the Saint Clan Ancestor killed by Yue Zhong, another one of them roared out in rage and flapped his wings. He charged towards the Scarlet Reaper, slapping his hands and slashed out with 2 Bloodflame Blades congealed from his blood essence.

The Bloodflame was one of the secret arts utilized by the Vampires. There was nothing that it could not burn, and a Bloodflame Blade from a Type 5 expert could easily split apart a tank, while the metal would be melted into a puddle.

"It's useless!! You guys are too weak! Unless a Type 6 expert appears, you will all die!!"

Yue Zhong laughed out coldly, piloting the Scarlet Reaper, disappearing from his position. He then appeared behind the Ancestor that had cursed at him, sending out a claw to obliterate him.
