Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 28 The Corpse King's Control
"I rushed to the front and closed the gate before those zombies could reach it, locking the fence. Because there was something wrong with that fence, it made a loud noise when opening and closing. So, originally there were only two zombies, but after I closed the gate, there were seven or eight.”
The brawny man continued:
“After I closed the gate, I held Xiaoya and hid behind the counter, covering her ears so she wouldn't hear the chaotic sounds outside, as well as the monster’s roars and people's screams.
I don't know how long it lasted, but finally everything outside quieted down. I put Xiaoya down and peeked outside through the back door. I saw that it was all zombies. I don't know if anyone in the neighboring shops survived, but I could see across the street that those four hooligans and my wife were still alive."
Speaking of this, the brawny man looked up again at his wife, who had become a zombie:
“Their house was also surrounded by many zombies, but because the doors and windows were tightly closed, the zombies didn't go in. My wife even pointed over here and said something to them, but before long, those people suddenly turned on her, grabbing her and starting to tear her clothes.
There were four of them, and my wife's hands and feet were held down. Her mouth was also blocked, so she couldn't resist at all. I wanted to rush out and save her, but… outside were all zombies. If I died too, what would happen to Xiaoya?
I could only watch helplessly as they tore off all my wife's clothes, and then took turns violating her in that small house. And during this process, they kept beckoning at me, signaling me to come over.
I didn't move. I just stayed there blankly, listening to my wife's suppressed cries and my daughter's sobs.
After they were all done, seeing that I hadn't moved, they actually propped my wife's naked body behind the window, and one of them shouted my name loudly:
‘Gao Lin, if you want your wife to live, come out and lure away the zombies on our side. Then we can take your wife and escape. Otherwise, we’ll play with her again in a while, and then we’ll throw her out to be torn apart by the zombies!’
At that time, my wife's face was dull. When she looked at me, it was as if she was looking at a stranger. And just then, Xiaoya also rushed to the door, calling out loudly for her mother.
When my wife saw her child, she immediately cried. Then, she suddenly let out a sharp scream and began to struggle desperately, not only breaking free from the men holding her, but also using her head and hands to smash the glass with all her might.
Those people quickly regained control of her and dragged her away from the window. Although the window was smashed, there were bars outside, so although the zombies gathered there, they still couldn't enter the house.
But I saw that when she broke the glass, my wife stretched out her arm with all her strength. The sharp glass cut her arm, and blood was everywhere. A zombie rushed over and grabbed her arm, but she was immediately pulled back by those people.
I saw those people hitting her, but I couldn't do anything. I could only pick up Xiaoya, who had rushed to the door, and take her away, so she wouldn't see any of this. I am a coward. When my wife was being bullied, I could only watch helplessly. I couldn't do anything but cry.
Just as I was holding Xiaoya and hiding behind the counter, I suddenly heard screams coming from over there. I quickly got up to look and found that the house was in chaos, several figures entangled together, and blood was constantly splattering.
After about four or five minutes, the door of the house opened, and all four men came out, but they had already turned into zombies. The last one to appear was my wife. She was still completely naked, but all the wounds on her body had disappeared."
"I was just about to call her when I saw her suddenly open her mouth and let out a roar like those monsters. Then, all the zombies blocking our shop door left, and even the zombies blocking between us and that house wandered off elsewhere. And she… just stood there, looking at us."
After recounting last night's experience, the brawny man pressed his head against the glass door, staring blankly at the zombie king across the street. Li Chenzhou looked around and patted the brawny man on the shoulder, saying:
"Gao Lin, are those hooligans still there?"
He knew this wasn't the best time to ask, but Li Chenzhou wanted to see if he could find the key to how this woman became a zombie king from those hooligans!
The flesh and blood of four people, even if eaten completely, would definitely not be enough to make that woman a strengthened zombie. So, the key point should be on those four hooligans.
"Yes!"
Gao Lin immediately stood up and pointed his finger at a somewhat obese, bare-chested, bald guy with a large gold chain around his neck, saying:
"He is the leader of those four guys, and that one, that one, and that one!"
The four zombies he pointed out in succession were all far apart, so it seemed that they had broken up after becoming zombies.
Li Chenzhou looked at these four zombies, frowning, because he couldn't see anything special about these four zombies at all. They were just ordinary zombies who had mutated after being bitten!
Could it be that the key point is in that small house?
Li Chenzhou looked at the small house where the zombie king was, and then looked at the zombies outside. Suddenly, he patted Gao Lin, who was pressing his head against the door, and then forcefully opened the glass door.
The door also made a loud noise when it was opened, and the surrounding zombies immediately turned their heads to look over, but strangely, they just roared a few times at this side and then wandered off again.
Dang dang dang dang
Li Chenzhou took an empty bottle from the beer crate next to him and hit the fence hard, making a series of clanging sounds, but still no zombies came over.
"Is its control that strong?"
Li Chenzhou frowned. He originally wanted to attract the zombies over and kill them with the barrier of the fence, but now it seemed that this method couldn't be used.
That's right, this is the terrifying thing about zombie kings. Their strength, agility, and defense are not as good as other zombies, but the zombies controlled by it are quite difficult to deal with, especially when they reach a certain number, they are simply comparable to an army!
"Xiao Lei! Take this and kill all the zombies at the front door!"
Seeing that this method wouldn't work, Li Chenzhou took out the combat blade he had exchanged and handed it to Duan Lei, saying:
"There's this zombie king behind us, so we can only go out from the front and then go around from the entrance of the neighborhood!"
"Okay!"
Duan Lei knew that Li Chenzhou was taking advantage of the current opportunity to kill zombies across the fence to train himself, so he immediately took the combat blade and walked towards the front door.
"Go around? You… you want to kill her?"
Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Gao Lin suddenly realized something. He quickly grabbed Li Chenzhou and stared at him with his swollen eyes, asking...
