Chapter 40 – The Zombie King's Fury

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

The victors were Wen Yu and One-Eye!

Only then did Sun Ruixing finally arrive!

"Eat them first."

The corpses of Level 2 Zombie were absolutely easy for One-Eye to swallow!

One-Eye looked at Wen Yu with concern; Wen Yu was standing on one leg. Seeing Wen Yu shake his head at him, One-Eye finally began to chew on the Zombies on the ground, gobbling them down.

"Um…"

Sun Ruixing looked at the Zombie corpses all over the ground, and at Wen Yu's injuries, yet he couldn't say a word.

"It's fine. Injuries are an easy problem to solve. And aside from the blood loss being a bit heavy, the rest are wounds that aren't hard to deal with."

Wen Yu saw the worry in Sun Ruixing's eyes and spoke directly.

Sun Ruixing opened his mouth, then forcibly swallowed the words of concern back down.

With wounds so deep the bone was visible, when Wen Yu put it that way, it somehow didn't seem so frightening.

"Do you need a Healing Potion?"

"No. It would be a waste of Point."

After watching One-Eye finish wolfing down the food, Wen Yu canceled Combat State, put One-Eye away into the Soul Realm, then entered Combat State again and applied Strong Healing.

The wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The facts proved that, before finding another Soul Pet with a healing ability, One-Eye's ability really was somewhat useful.

"Let's go. Back to the Settlement first – I need to rest for a while."

Sun Ruixing looked again at the wound on Wen Yu's thigh and asked, "Want me to carry you?"

Wen Yu thought about it briefly. Hopping back on one foot would really drain his stamina, and it wouldn't look great either, so he nodded to Sun Ruixing.

"Wait-right. Wen Yu, you wait here for a moment. I'll be right back."

Sun Ruixing's eyes lit up; he suddenly thought of a better idea.

In just a few minutes, Sun Ruixing ran back with Li Dalong, whose face was full of shock. Sun Ruixing was also holding a Simple Stretcher made from strips of cloth and wooden sticks.

"Let's use this. It's much more comfortable than carrying you."

Sun Ruixing smiled at Wen Yu.

Wen Yu laughed too. Sun Ruixing was always considerate of others. In the Apocalypse, he was the kind of oddball who could actually be on par with Sun Aotian.

After thanking Sun Ruixing, Wen Yu lay down directly on the stretcher.

It wasn't very comfortable, but it was definitely far better than having someone carry him!

"Let's go!"

Li Dalong opened his mouth wide and shouted excitedly.

And it was hard not for Li Dalong to be excited. One man and one beast had faced nine Zombies of the same level and still finished the fight cleanly and efficiently. Most importantly, he hadn't even needed to lift a finger. Just like that, they had walked out of Chaihe Town, which was regarded as a dead land-and judging by Wen Yu's backpack, it was packed with quite a lot of supplies.

"Brother Wen Yu, you're seriously too strong. If you ask me, you're dozens of times stronger than Sun Aotian. Every time the Zombies attack the camp, Sun Aotian can only tie down two Level 2 Zombie. But Brother Wen Yu kills nearly double digits in one go. What's called a gap? This is a gap."

Li Dalong's spittle flew as he showered Wen Yu with flattery, and Wen Yu felt thoroughly pleased.

The effects of Strong Healing made Wen Yu feel a bit lazy. At a time like this, what he really needed was some music, some pastries, and to bask in the sun.

But other than the sun, there was none of that. Li Dalong's flattery just happened to serve as music for Wen Yu to listen to.

The two Class Holder carried Wen Yu forward at speed. Before long, the Settlement was already faintly visible in the distance.

…

With the mass deaths of Level 2 Zombie, the horde of ordinary Zombie in Chaihe Town had all but collapsed.

Inside Chaihe Town Hospital, sensing the auras of his underlings vanishing one after another, the Giant Zombie King let out a terrifying howl.

The sound was so loud it shattered the hospital's glass outright.

As the Zombie King's howl carried far into the distance, the Zombie in Chaihe Town immediately fell silent. Then, they began to slowly file out of the town.

Target: Zang Pengfei Settlement.

This was yet another Zombie raid on the camp-only this time, the scale was a bit larger.

…

"Move, move! Hurry up and get out of the way-can't you see Brother Wen Yu is hurt?"

Li Dalong kicked a regular Class Holder aside and shouted arrogantly.

Wen Yu lay limply on the stretcher, a cigarette between his lips, leisurely enjoying the service of the rickshaw.

Under Strong Healing, the wound had already stopped bleeding. As his Attributes increased, the effects of Healing Potion grew weaker and weaker. But Skills were different-Skills were part of the Class Holder themselves, the foundation of a Class Holder's strength, even more important than Physical Attribute!

"Brother Wen Yu, how did you get hurt this badly?"

A rough voice came from afar-it was Zang Pengfei!

Zang Pengfei forced his way through the onlookers and ran up, asking with concern.

"It's nothing. I ran into Zombie and had a fight."

Wen Yu answered lightly.

"What do you mean, 'had a fight'? Boss Wen Yu, that was nine Level 2 Zombie-nine! They all came at him together, and Brother Wen Yu took every last one of them down by himself! You didn't see it back then-the scene was truly spectacular…"

Li Dalong spat as he boasted on Wen Yu's behalf, though now and then he did exaggerate a bit. Not much-just enough to make even Wen Yu blush.

"Ahem. Um, take me back to my room first. I need to rest."

Hearing Wen Yu's words, Li Dalong immediately stopped bragging and started shouting again. "Didn't you hear what Boss Wen Yu said? Move, move, don't block the way! Once Boss Wen Yu is healed, we'll go and take the Zombie King's head right away!"

With the crowd watching, Wen Yu finally made it back to his room.

He spoke to Sun Ruixing beside him. "Sun-Ge, I can't summon One-Eye for now. I'll need a few hours before my injuries stop affecting my combat capability. During this time, I need you to stand guard for me."

Sun Ruixing didn't hesitate at all and nodded. Seeing this, Li Dalong tactfully greeted Wen Yu and went straight out.

…

Outside the door, Zang Pengfei saw Li Dalong come out and quietly made a hand signal.

Li Dalong gave Zang Pengfei an almost imperceptible nod and walked straight toward his own ramshackle wooden shack.

Once there was no one else around, Li Dalong quietly turned a corner and entered a crude wooden house. This place was Zang Pengfei's Warehouse.

"Is he really that strong?"

In the mottled sunlight, it was clear the one speaking was Zang Pengfei.

Li Dalong no longer had his usual flippant look. With a grave expression, he said, "Strong. Extremely strong. At least several times stronger than Tian!"

"Mm."

Zang Pengfei pondered for a moment.

"Can you find a way to gain his trust?"

"I'll have to try."

"Mm. When you handle things, I'm at ease!"
