Chapter 41 – Zombies Assault the Camp (Part ①)

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

Night deepened. As the entire Camp fell into slumber, in Chaihe Town, groups of Zombies stood quietly, their vacant eyes fixed straight ahead on the enormous Zombie.

This was Chaihe Town's Zombie King.

However, the funny part was that at the Zombie King's side, there were only two Level 2 Zombies left.

Level 2 Zombies did not evolve easily. After Wen Yu's commotion during the day, even the town's obvious overlord was left facing the awkward situation of having no Zombies to command.

"Roar."

With the Zombie King's frenzied bellow, the entire Zombie horde slowly began to move!

…

"Qiang, did you hear? That Level 2 Class Holder who came to our place a while back-Wen Yu-went into town today and killed dozens of Level 2 Zombies. I heard he even chopped off the Zombie King's arm!"

"Zhang-Ge, how come I heard he already killed the Zombie King?"

"Tsk tsk, no matter what, this Wen Yu is really something!"

"Isn't he? If you ask me, the humans in Chaihe Town finally have hope this time!"

At the Camp entrance, the two people responsible for guard duty and patrol were squatting side by side to relieve themselves, their conversation full of Wen Yu, the future, and hope.

"Qiang, did you hear something?"

"What sound?"

"Like someone walking!"

"No way. In the middle of the night, who'd come to this godforsaken patch of weeds where even birds don't go?"

"I think so too…"

Before Zhang-Ge could finish, a huge figure slammed in like a cannonball, a thick right arm swinging down overhead.

Boom.

A deafening crash. The soft earth exploded into a massive crater, and the man called Zhang-Ge was already nowhere to be seen!

Flesh, blood, and dirt splattered, landing right on Qiang's face.

Qiang stared blankly at the Zombie King that had appeared out of nowhere. He collapsed onto the filth on the ground, his face deathly pale, his mouth trembling, unable to force out a single word!

…

Wen Yu, still in his sleep, was jolted awake by a burst of chaotic noise.

"What's going on?"

Wen Yu instantly tensed up.

Sun Ruixing, who was still stationed at the door, shook his head at Wen Yu, indicating he didn't know what was happening either.

Wen Yu steadied himself and checked his injuries.

The wounds had largely scabbed over. At this pace, he would only need one night for them to heal completely.

Unfortunately, Wen Yu couldn't shake a bad feeling.

"Come on, Sun. Let's go outside and take a look."

Wen Yu stood up at once, limping out of the room.

Outside, the crowd was already in panic. Class Holders gripped Steel Blades and kept charging toward the Camp entrance. Ordinary People, on the other hand, kept fleeing for their lives toward the rear.

"What's going on?"

Wen Yu grabbed a Class Holder at random and asked directly.

The Class Holder clearly knew Wen Yu's name. Trembling, he said, "The Zombie King-it's leading a Zombie swarm to attack the Camp!"

Wen Yu's brows knit together at once. This time of night was not good.

The dim visibility greatly weakened the humans' advantage.

Wen Yu released the Class Holder and said straight to Sun Ruixing, "Sun, you go up front and take a look first. I'll exchange for some things and be over in a bit."

Sun Ruixing knew Wen Yu was going to exchange for Healing Potion, so he didn't say anything. He picked up his gear and headed for the Camp entrance.

Wen Yu limped his way to the Exchange Pillar.

"Check Points."

"Remaining Points: 5,418."

It was more or less what Wen Yu had expected. The haul from the daytime was truly substantial!

He immediately deactivated Combat State and summoned One-Eye.

Inside the Soul Realm space, One-Eye's injuries had already fully healed.

"Go up ahead and take a look at what's going on. If things look bad, notify me in time!"

"Woof woof."

One-Eye barked twice and dashed straight toward the Camp gate.

Wen Yu refocused his attention on the Exchange Pillar.

First, he exchanged for a bottle of Intermediate Healing Potion, costing 500 Points.

Wen Yu downed it in one gulp. The wounds healed rapidly, but he wasn't fully recovered. He moved around a bit and found his leg was still somewhat inconvenient to use.

Now was absolutely not the time to fuss over Points. He immediately exchanged for another bottle of Intermediate Healing Potion. This time, the wounds fully recovered, and the total time spent healing before and after was less than a minute.

With the remaining 4,418 Points, Wen Yu exchanged for an E-Rank Steel Blade and an E-Rank Protective Suit, and put them on right away.

Then he exchanged for eight Level 2 Attribute-Less Magic Crystals. After a brief absorption, he raised his Physical Attribute straight to 19.5 Points. If he entered Combat State, that would be 29.5 Points of Physical Attribute-already a Mid-Level 2 value!

After finishing the exchanges, Wen Yu headed directly for the main gate of the Camp.

Up ahead, roars, shouts, and wails rang through the silent sky!

…

At the Camp's main gate, Zang Pengfei led all the Class Holders in the Camp, standing ready.

Watching the dense mass of Zombies charging in unceasingly from the distance, Zang Pengfei's eyes were filled with anxiety.

"Where are Wen Yu and Tian?"

A trusted subordinate beside him immediately replied, "Tian will be here soon."

"Mhm."

"Brother Wen Yu is exchanging items right now. He'll come over in a bit too."

Sun Ruixing picked up the conversation and said directly.

"Wen, arrange for the Ordinary People in the Camp to evacuate-take a detour into Chaihe Town. All Class Holders hold here for a while, at least ten minutes. Buy time for the Ordinary People to get out."

"Understood, Fei-Ge."

The young woman called Wen answered and turned to head into the Camp.

Not far away, Sun Aotian came over with Bai Xiao'an and Bai Feifei, walking straight up to Zang Pengfei and looking down.

"So many?" Sun Aotian cried out in shock.

As the Zombies drew closer and closer, even with Sun Aotian's status as a Level 2 Class Holder, he felt immense pressure bearing down on him!

"There really are a lot. I'm planning to hold here for a bit, and then we'll abandon this Camp! We'll go to Chaihe Town. As long as Brother Wen Yu can kill that Zombie King, we'll have a way to live!"

Zang Pengfei clenched his teeth and made up his mind.

Without the Zombie King's command, Zombies were nothing but a scattered rabble.

"But I'll need you to put in some work too, Tian. If there are any Level 2 Zombies in there, you take half and I'll take half."

Hearing Zang Pengfei's request, Sun Aotian nodded solemnly, then turned back and said to Bai Xiao'an, "You protect your sister and leave first."

This morning, Sun Aotian had taken Bai Xiao'an out, and had already made Bai Xiao'an a Class Holder. For a Level 2 Class Holder, that wasn't difficult.

Bai Xiao'an's face was deathly pale as he stared at the Zombie horde about to make contact with the Survivors, and he nodded trembling.

Even if someone like that became a Class Holder, a person who didn't dare fight was still a burden all the same.
