Chapter 1435: Chapter 596: Hunting a Large Number of Giant Zombies – Part 2

“That is…”

At that moment, a strange wind suddenly appeared, and as people looked up at the sky, their faces were instantly filled with horror.

Chee–

A gigantic Golden Eagle, large enough to cover the sun, appeared slowly above Shuize Base.

Everyone was so frightened that they seemed petrified, unable to move.

Wang Tao and Lightning jumped onto the Golden Eagle, then waved to the crowd.

The Golden Eagle flapped its wings, creating another fierce wind that caused people to stagger. By the time they regained their footing, Wang Tao and the Golden Eagle had already disappeared without a trace.

“…Did I see that right? Was that an eagle?”

“It seemed like a hawk? But even if it was, isn’t it too huge!”

“No wonder Mr. Wang doesn’t need our vehicles, he has such a terrifying mount…”

“You guys think, what Level might Mr. Wang’s mount be?”

“I’ve seen Level 4 Lords, but the aura of that hawk is even more terrifying than a Level 4 Lord!”

“Shh!”

“…”

Everyone couldn’t help but start discussing.

Meanwhile, Yan Guoyi thought of something else.

“Such a large mount, it seems it can carry quite a few people! If it could carry us to find a new base… No, next time we see Mr. Wang, I must shamelessly beg him!”

Yan Guoyi clenched his fists, this was about the wellbeing of all one hundred people at their base. Even if it might annoy Wang Tao, he had to try.

As for now, the urgent matter was whether Xu Quan could awaken.

Yan Guoyi quickly called everyone back, then had Xu Quan use the Ascension Crystal Core and Awakening Key.

Moments later, Xu Quan’s eyes suddenly widened.

“According to Mr. Wang, it seems I am about to awaken…”

Before he could finish, a wave of drowsiness overwhelmed Xu Quan, leaving him unable to resist and he directly collapsed into Yan Guoyi’s arms.

“Haha, Xu Quan is going to awaken!”

Yan Guoyi was overjoyed, then he carefully placed Xu Quan onto the bed.

“Brother Xu Quan is awakening!”

A few young girls also jumped up excitedly; their base finally had another Awakener!

“Before Xu Quan wakes up, all of you will take turns with me guarding the door to his room; we must ensure that no accidents occur!”

“Yes!”

…

Following the map provided by Yan Guoyi, Wang Tao arrived in Cangsung City, the provincial capital of Cangsong Province, at noon. Xu Quan had mentioned many Giant Zombies here.

However, on his way, Wang Tao had not encountered any Giant Zombies. He had hardly encountered any Frozen Zombie Lords, nor any humans.

This made Wang Tao somewhat disappointed, but upon reaching the downtown area of Cangsung City and seeing that tall figure, all his disappointment instantly vanished.

“A Sixth-Rank Giant Zombie with a Freezing aura! I can feel the Basic Law Force! Good, good, good, this is already a win!”

Wang Tao laughed and rushed towards the Giant Zombie.

A Giant Zombie with a Freezing aura could be troublesome, but having had the experience, Wang Tao seemed rather fluent this time. After some time, he smoothly slew the Frozen Zombie.

Boom, boom–

The Giant Zombie fell, collapsing countless buildings.

Wang Tao skillfully collected the spoils of war, and after confirming there were Blood Beads, he did not even pause to look closely before swiftly turning around. Another tall figure emerged from the blizzard.

“Another Sixth-Rank Giant Zombie!”

This Giant Zombie did not have a Freezing aura nor Basic Law Force. But Wang Tao wasn’t picky; the Blood Beads were enough for him to make a move, not to mention Crystal Cores and other kinds of spoils of war.

This battle ended quickly. Without the Freezing aura, Wang Tao moved without any hesitation, easily handling this Giant Zombie.

Thump, thump–

As Wang Tao was collecting the spoils of war, he felt the ground trembling again.

Wang Tao hurriedly looked up.

“Two Giant Zombies, adopting a tag-team battle strategy, huh? Very well, I like this! But both these Giant Zombies have a freezing aura…”

Giant Zombies with a freezing aura are definitely not something Wang Tao could confront head-on. Moreover, this time there were two of them coming at once! Wang Tao was even more cautious not to engage directly, for he didn’t have the thick skin of the Giant Zombies.

“First, lure one away, then defeat them one by one!”

Wang Tao patted Lightning’s head, and with a bark, Lightning grew larger. At the same time, Little Bing and Little Huo jumped from Wang Tao’s pocket onto Lightning’s back, and then they all dashed towards one of the Giant Zombies.

Before coming here, Wang Tao had already considered the possibility of encountering multiple Giant Zombies.

Wang Tao’s plan was, if he encountered too many Giant Zombies for him to handle, to have Lightning and the two little ferrets lure some of them away first. Now that they all had the strength of a Level 5 Lord, if they didn’t confront the Giant Zombies head-on and just attracted them, there shouldn’t be a problem.

Meanwhile, Wang Tao himself would quickly deal with another group of Giant Zombies, then move on to the next group.

Now with two Giant Zombies in front of him, both possessing freezing auras, Wang Tao had no choice but to split up.

Lightning’s arrival instantly caught the attention of the two Giant Zombies. Little Bing and Little Huo on Lightning’s back struck the Giant Zombies with a combo of ice and fire. Although the damage was not high, it greatly attracted their aggression.

However, at this moment, Wang Tao’s attack also arrived, hitting the other Giant Zombie.

“Roar–”

The Giant Zombie roared, abandoning the chase after Lightning and headed straight towards Wang Tao with large strides.

This completely separated the two Giant Zombies.

“Well done, wait for me!”

Wang Tao called out to Lightning, and then flames burst from his body as he charged towards the Giant Zombie.

Giant Zombies with a freezing aura have strong self-healing and continuous damage from their aura. But Wang Tao, now with the strength of a Level 6, had high damage output, along with his experience in dealing with such Giant Zombies, so he was quite adept at handling just one.

It didn’t take long for Wang Tao to take down this Frozen Giant Zombie, quickly picked up the spoils of war, then he rushed towards Lightning.

Lightning kept running, not directly engaging the Giant Zombie. As long as they didn’t enter the range of the freezing aura, there was no danger. Thus, Lightning kept the Giant Zombie at bay, walking a great distance.

When Wang Tao arrived, neither the Giant Zombie nor Lightning were injured.

“Alright, go ahead and swallow that Giant Zombie’s corpse, I’ll take it from here!”

Wang Tao rubbed Lightning’s big head.

Bark!

Lightning made no fuss and just took off.

The Giant Zombie still tried to pursue, but Wang Tao blocked its way.

“Your opponent is me.”

“Roar~”

A while later.

Boom–

The Giant Zombie’s health bar was also successfully depleted.

Lightning had already returned, and as Wang Tao gathered up the spoils of war, Lightning skillfully swallowed the corpse of the Giant Zombie.

Wang Tao looked around to make sure there were no more Giant Zombies appearing temporarily, then waved his hand.

“Come on, let’s go check out that pit!”

Before long, Wang Tao arrived at a pit created by a nuclear explosion.

The pit was as large as some lakes, and there was still some residual radiation, but not severe, far less than the radiation from the previous Radiation Zombie.

From above, it looked pitch black. However, it wasn’t bottomless, but rather filled with dark elements, which Wang Tao was very familiar with.

“It seems this pit is connected to a rift…”

As Wang Tao pondered, he suddenly saw a huge skull slowly emerging from the pit–it was a Giant Zombie, and still one with a freezing aura!

“Could this really be the Giant Zombies’ lair… then don’t blame me for not being courteous!”

Wang Tao gripped his greatsword, his gaze firmly fixed on the huge figure emerging from the pit.

In his eyes, this was not a Giant Zombie, but the bright red Blood Beads.
