Chapter 635: New cycle system
If they were still courageous against that team of zombies, these cow zombies crushed that last bit of hope. This team collapsed, and everyone fled in all directions.
Ye Zhongming gave up, too. This messy escape would lead to massive casualties. The best method would be to use a small group of strong survivors as the arrowheads to stab into the tree zombie camp and then use them to split the cow zombies. The cow zombies would charge about and help them escape at that time.
But these people were fleeing like birds.
Maintaining a formation and breaking out might lead to huge losses, but if they broke through, the remaining third or half of the survivors might be able to survive. But if they fled like this, only dozens might live.
Ye Zhongming used the cone to smash the crystal on one zombies head. He saw the grey zombie withering at a visible speed. Its skin, which lacked water, was covered in black lines. Ye Zhongming wanted to see what it was.
Go!
Yang Yixi shouted anxiously, which caused Ye Zhongming to give up on those thoughts. He retreated with them towards the same direction.
See you in the camp, all of you run!
Peng Liang shouted, which crushed Ye Zhongmings last hope in him.
He was such a terrible boss.
There were 30 people with Ye Zhongming, but not all of them chose the direction they came from. Some decided to head into small alleys and then climb walls to get to another street that might be safe.
As for those three to four-meter walls, they werent a problem for one-star evolved.
The group entered the alley quickly, and the pressure was reduced. Many of them heaved a sigh of relief.
In that short time, 7 of the over thirty of them died! Only ten seconds had passed, so it was as if they had lost a person every second. Such a casualty rate was shocking.
There were still dried corpses chasing them from behind. The terrifying part about them was that humans couldnt tell their level through the color of the crystals, and they didnt know how to battle them, resulting in huge losses. Moreover, their desire for flesh was much more terrifying than zombies. It was as if they had picked up the absorption ability of the Death King Tree and Life-Taking Carrot. Any survivor that they wrapped would slowly lose their ability to fight back until they were sucked dry.
This sent a chill down Ye Zhongmings spine.
The survivors at the back found it hard to fend them off, and the casualties were increasing. Ye Zhongmings plan needed many of them, so he couldnt let them die for nothing. He told Yang Yixi and the rest to flee first while he charged to the back. A white light flashed in his hands, and a blade shattered three crystals.
The light attracted everyone, and a silver blade appeared in this outsiders hands.
The silver blade didnt stop; it flicked and sliced on the zombies. In just a few seconds, dozens of them were killed, which stunned everyone.
One of the dried corpses was slightly stronger. A three-star evolved had died to it. Who knew that this outsider would smash its crystal with just one blade.
So strong, and what an amazing weapon!
Why are you still standing there? Go!
Ye Zhongmings shout dragged them back to their senses. Although some people doubted if he could fend them off alone, their will to live forced them to retreat, following the trio over the wall.
Ye Zhongming was alone and didnt have much to worry about. He tossed his job skill. Even if he didnt kill all of them, he sliced them into many pieces, and they werent a threat anymore.
Ye Zhongming was close to seven-star in strength and didnt meet a match. He stood there, and no zombie could get within three meters of him.
But he continued to frown as he realized something.
Many black-shaped things stretched from those zombies whom he had sliced apart but hadnt died.
At the start, he thought they were just dried vessels, but when he saw clearly, he was shocked.
It was similar to a branch! They were plants and not made of flesh and blood.
Ye Zhongming picked up a piece and retreated. He jumped over a wall and met up with the trio.
Why are you holding that?
Seeing that Ye Zhongming was holding a piece of the corpse, others were confused. But after he said that he would study it, they didnt say anything. After all, they had to flee, and Ye Zhongmings act of staying back to hold off the rear earned their respect.
Yang Yixi gave him a weird look and suppressed his questions.
There were many safe streets here. Although small groups would appear, they didnt face much of a problem after trying to avoid them.
Returning to the camp, they realized they were the first group back.
Many people died on the way. The remaining were in a daze beside Yang Yixis house. Many others returned subsequently. When the boss stumbled back, Yang Yixi and the others were called to a meeting, and Ye Zhongming was alone again.
This was what he wanted. He took the corpse out and started to study it.
Ye Zhongming was interested in this unknown mutated plant. He pulled out a branch, and he was sure that this was from a similar source to those materials. They came from the Death King Tree, which was the Roselle Cedar.
The branches lost their ability to absorb energy. He sliced the skin of the corpse apart and noticed that the branches grew along the blood vessels. He studied for ten minutes and confirmed something that shocked him.
They replicated the human blood circulation system! Or rather, they created a new system, and the human blood vessels were abandoned.
As this corpse wasnt complete, he couldnt confirm if these branches had a heart. So he couldnt conclude, but it made sense.
Since that was the case, he had a question. How did the Roselle Cedar implant this new system?
Creak.
The door was pushed open. Yang Yixi saw Ye Zhongming, who was staring at the corpse, turn to look at him. He touched his nose, and his voice was serious, Boss, boss wants to see you.
