Chapter 1410: Chapter 584 Zizhu Base_3

All of this was watched by the people of Zizhu Base; the so-called ‘when one man falls, another grieves’–they naturally feared they too would be discovered by the Giant Zombie and dragged out to be eaten.

Consequently, the leader of Zizhu Base, Priest Lord, came up with two plans: one was to divert the Giant Zombie, at least so it wouldn’t head toward Zizhu Base. The second was to kill the Giant Zombie!

The power of the Giant Zombie was too frightening; they definitely couldn’t defeat it and could only choose to divert it.

However, despite their efforts, aside from losing a few people, they simply couldn’t lead the Giant Zombie away.

Luckily, the Giant Zombie was not advancing quickly, giving them time to think of other methods.

A few days ago, someone accidentally stumbled upon a piece of news mentioning an underground granary here, which was not only filled with a lot of food but also quite safe.

Thus, the Priest Lord decided to first find this granary. It would be better if there were food inside, but it didn’t matter if there wasn’t–so long as it could house people. If it truly was inhabitable, he would transfer the people of Zizhu Base there, and they would return to the air-raid shelter after the Giant Zombie had left.

After a round of investigation in the city ruins, they roughly located the position of the granary, which was fortunately not on the path of the Giant Zombie!

So, the Priest Lord decided to go check it out first and, upon confirming there were no issues, began to lead people to transfer.

On the way, they unexpectedly encountered the Giant Zombie in a fight with a Mutant Beast!

Despite the Mutant Beast’s smaller stature compared to the Giant Zombie, it was very agile; the Giant Zombie couldn’t touch it at all. It seemed like it was suppressing and beating the Giant Zombie.

The Giant Zombie was beaten and tumbled over several times, as if it was unable to fend off the blows at all, appearing very miserable. However, the Mutant Beast was also injured and didn’t kill the Giant Zombie, choosing instead to flee first.

The Priest Lord then thought the opportunity had come. While the Giant Zombie was severely injured and on the ground, they could kill it!

Although everyone else, including Zhao Yaru, felt it was too dangerous–even if the Giant Zombie was injured, it was not something they could deal with–the Priest Lord insisted, and without a choice, others went along with the plan.

As a result, the Priest Lord was the first to be eaten, and the rest almost faced annihilation…

It was then that Wang Tao realized; when he had previously seen the Giant Zombie, its HP was only two-thirds full. He thought it was Zhao Yaru and their group who inflicted the damage, he even thought these people were quite capable, able to harm a Level 5 Giant Zombie with their Level 4 strength… Turns out it was the Mutant Beast’s doing!

After Zhao Yaru finished explaining, she looked at Wang Tao with respect laced with a hint of expectation:

“Priest Lord, has the Bishop sent you to save us?”

“No.” Wang Tao shook his head directly, then picking up the lingo on the spot, said, “I am guided by the ‘Dusk’.”

Hearing this, not only did Zhao Yaru not feel disappointed, but she became even more excited.

“Then you are now our new leader! I believe the others will agree… May I ask, Priest Lord, what shall we do next?”

“New leader, huh…”

Wang Tao frowned slightly.

The believers of the Dusk Church here were unlike any he had encountered before.

The Dusk Church followers he had seen before were mostly of the cultish sort, essentially rats crossing the street; but the people here did not give Wang Tao an uneasy feeling. Moreover, the survivors here were not poisoned, as if they hadn’t drunk the Dusk Church’s specialty ‘Holy medicine’? Their Internal Impurity levels were also normal…

Taking them in was not out of the question, but he definitely couldn’t bring them back to Changhe Base…

Seeing Wang Tao furrow his brows, Zhao Yaru’s heart suddenly lurched.

Could it be that Priest Lord looks down on us?

With the Lord’s power to slay a Fifth-Order Giant Zombie, it seems he really doesn’t need us… What should we do now!
