Chapter 47 – Cleanup

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

Sun Ruixing sat down on the ground, gasping for air in great heaving breaths.

Beneath him lay the corpses of several Zombies whose heads were already gone.

This was already the fifth wave of pursuing Zombies Sun Ruixing had killed.

Sun Ruixing had left relatively late, and within the Zombie horde, the Physical Attribute of some Level 1 Zombies was even higher than Sun Ruixing's!

That he had managed to hold on until now without dying was already a sign of extraordinary luck.

Seeing the massive Zombie horde staggering toward him in the distance, Sun Ruixing couldn't help but feel a little despair!

In the fight just now, Sun Ruixing's leg had been bitten by a Zombie, and his mobility had dropped drastically.

With only his current speed, Sun Ruixing definitely wouldn't be able to escape the Zombies' pursuit!

Just as Sun Ruixing was about to launch a fight to the death, the Zombie horde suddenly fell into chaos!

The Zombies farther away from Sun Ruixing began wandering about without organization or discipline, and only a few that had caught Sun Ruixing's scent sped up and pounced over!

Sun Ruixing was stunned, because the Zombies that came at him weren't strong-completely within the range he could handle.

After quickly dealing with those Zombies, Sun Ruixing looked at the increasingly scattered Zombie horde in the distance, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"The Zombie King… is dead?"

…

Wen Yu staggered his way to an Exchange Pillar. The Zombies killed here and there by the Zombie King and One-Eye in the fire pit had brought him over a thousand Point.

His injuries at the moment were truly far from optimistic. Wen Yu could even feel his internal organs bleeding slightly, not to mention the secondary damage brought on by the Giant Eagle's chill.

He directly exchanged for two bottles of Intermediate Healing Potion and drank them down in one go.

The injuries on his body recovered rapidly, and the chill was quickly driven out as well.

After moving a little and feeling that his body was basically fine, Wen Yu immediately entered Combat State and accelerated toward the direction the people from the Camp had retreated.

The Zombie King was dead. Now, those Low-Level Zombies-without the Zombie King's leadership-were absolutely a delicious piece of cake!

With Wen Yu's superlative Physical Attribute, it took him less than ten minutes to reach the front gate of the Camp.

The flames in the huge pit were still burning nonstop, and the air even carried a stench of rot mixed with the aroma of meat.

The bizarre smell made Wen Yu's stomach churn.

"Fuck, this is even more disgusting than falling into a shit pit!"

Waving a hand in disgust in front of his nose, Wen Yu headed straight off in pursuit in the direction everyone had retreated!

In less than two minutes, scattered Zombies began to appear. Wen Yu abruptly sped up, like a gust of wind, charging straight at a Level 1 Zombie!

Before the Zombie could react, Wen Yu chopped its head off!

The Zombies along the way were scattered and posed no real threat. Without the Zombie King's leadership, these Zombies would only wander aimlessly, searching for a scent of flesh and blood they might never find.

Toward Zombies, Wen Yu followed a principle of not wasting Point: basically, he killed every one he saw.

"Brother Wen Yu? Brother Wen Yu?"

Just as Wen Yu was in the middle of a killing spree, a voice came from farmland not far away.

Following the direction of the voice, Wen Yu immediately spotted Sun Ruixing lying prone on the ground.

"Yo, Sun, you're not dead?"

Wen Yu grinned the moment he saw Sun Ruixing. Sun Ruixing's injuries weren't too serious-just his leg-but in order not to get dragged into a bitter fight, Sun Ruixing had directly buried half his body in the soil. The dirt covered the bloody smell, and that was how he hadn't been found by the Zombies.

Sun Ruixing looked at the figure appearing ahead. Sure enough, it was Wen Yu. He immediately crawled out of the ground, shook the dirt off his body, and stared at Wen Yu with eyes full of astonishment.

"Younger Brother, that Zombie King… is it dead?"

"Yeah. I killed it!"

Sun Ruixing smacked his lips and said with a sigh of admiration, "Younger Brother really is something. A Zombie King that terrifying, and you just take it out like that…"

"Enough, Sun. Quit kissing up to me. Don't you think these Zombies are basically money? Who's got time to stand here running your mouth."

Hearing Wen Yu's words, Sun Ruixing glanced at the Zombie horde that had already dispersed not far away, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Right now, the Zombies weren't much of a threat anymore. And the news that the Zombie King was dead-only he and Wen Yu knew.

No one to steal kills, and plenty of monsters. This was a heaven-sent opportunity.

"Heh heh, you get it now, right? Speaking of which, with the friendship between the two of us, I'll barely spare you a little. How many Points you can snatch from me depends on you. Oh, and be careful-if you run into a Level 1 Zombie with a high Physical Attribute, you'll be in serious danger!"

With tens of thousands of Zombies, Wen Yu didn't think he could kill them all in a short time anyway, so bringing Sun Ruixing along didn't really matter.

"Oh right-where are Zang Pengfei and the others?"

"Been gone for a while now."

"Oh. Then they're just unlucky."

After asking a few simple questions, Wen Yu charged straight into the area with the most Zombies. The Zombie-clearing operation in Chaihe Town officially began-and it wouldn't be long before more and more humans joined in!

…

Zang Pengfei led the main group all the way into Chaihe Town.

Along the way, aside from a few scattered Zombies, they basically didn't encounter any danger.

Chaihe Town wasn't exactly peaceful either. In the end, there were still some Zombies-ones that hadn't been summoned by the Zombie King, or ones trapped inside rooms and unable to get out-but those were only a small minority.

"Fei-Ge, do you think the Zombie King will catch up?"

Sun Aotian, standing beside Zang Pengfei, spoke up to ask.

Zang Pengfei pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly, "No idea. We'd better pray the Zombie King doesn't catch up-at the very least, not while we're crossing through Chaihe Town."

That was Zang Pengfei's plan: while the Zombie King led most of the Zombies out, exploit the time gap and lead the Survivors out of Chaihe Town's sphere of influence.

"Oh right, why haven't I seen Brother Wen Yu?"

The Teleportation Scroll Zang Pengfei had just used was locked onto one of his trusted men, and he hadn't seen Wen Yu rushing over to provide support at all.

It was Sun Aotian who had run into Wen Yu while fleeing.

"Wen Yu seemed to go looking for the Zombie King. He's probably as good as dead, right?"

Sun Aotian said hesitantly.

The Zombie King was terrifying, but the pressure Wen Yu gave Sun Aotian was just as overwhelming.

Zang Pengfei looked at Sun Aotian in surprise. "You're sure?"

"Yeah. When I ran back, I saw Wen Yu heading toward the battlefield."

Zang Pengfei's steps immediately halted. After thinking for a long while, he said directly to Sun Aotian, "You take the team and keep moving. I'm going back to take a look first."

Before Sun Aotian could react, Zang Pengfei was already hurrying back at top speed.

Sun Aotian stared blankly at Zang Pengfei as he grew farther and farther away, and a possibility suddenly occurred to him.

"What if… Wen Yu killed the Zombie King?"
