CHAPTER 1657: CHAPTER 1651: THE HEMP ROPE ALWAYS BREAKS AT ITS THINNEST POINT

It seemed as if realizing things were becoming increasingly uncontrollable, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the Sanctuary City, trailing a long white smoke toward the direction of the zombie horde attack.

"What are those?"

"They should be high-level new humans from the supreme command observing the battle situation..."

"Isn’t it too late for them now?"

Watching those few "bolts of lightning" disappear in an instant in front of them, Brother Shi shook his head. Although those people’s moving speed was very fast, it seemed there were only four or five of them. Even if they were all Level 8 New Human Powerhouses, facing the massive zombie horde, all of whom were Level 4 evolved zombies and above, such few people wouldn’t have much effect.

"Hurry, before the zombie horde catches up with us."

Wu Zhixiong called from the front, heading towards the center of the Sanctuary City with Brother Shi, but they underestimated the gravity of the situation. After crossing two streets, a man dressed in black hoodie with long purple hair and a demonic handsome face came walking towards them.

The two stopped, the Ghost Head on Brother Shi’s back and Dark Hand silently took out the Destroyer. That man gave them an extremely serious sense of unease.

"You are..."

Wu Zhixiong’s expression turned tense as he greeted the man, but after uttering just two words, the man across him crossed his arms, and the flesh and blood of his hands began to wriggle, with large amounts of keratin growing madly, transforming into a pair of shining sharp claws the next second!

"F*ck!"

In such a situation, the two dared not stay any longer, immediately turning around to run away! But how could the man let them escape, he stomped his leg and immediately caught up, arriving behind Wu Zhixiong in an instant!

"Watch out!" Brother Shi shouted, and Wu Zhixiong, a battle-hardened veteran, instinctively ducked as soon as Brother Shi’s words were heard, narrowly avoiding the man’s claw swipe but still, the claw swiftly swang down again!

In a moment of desperation, Wu Zhixiong lifted the "Tianguang" in his hand, but with the next sweep of cold light, the weapon in his hand was cut into several pieces!

"It’s over!"

Witnessing this scene, Brother Shi mentally cursed, but just as the man’s claw was mere millimeters from Wu Zhixiong’s chest, it stopped!

The man turned to look at another side, as if something had caught his attention, and Wu Zhixiong and the others were naturally set aside by him.

Wu Zhixiong gasped heavily for breath, the feeling of being shrouded in the aura of death in that instant was really suffocating. He finally realized how oppressive it was to be weak in the apocalypse, his life was not his own, others could take it whenever they wanted!

He thought he was dead, having completely closed his eyes, but after realizing there was no pain, he opened his eyes again and looked up at the demonic handsome man who wanted to kill him, only to find him looking elsewhere, Wu Zhixiong also looked over, but found nothing worth noting.

"Interesting..." And then, the man murmured, and in the instant he spoke those words, a colossal creature crashed into a building in the direction he had been looking, shattering it. A high-level zombie, ten meters tall with a dark purple body, its right arm evolved to a grotesque size but the left arm severely withered, appeared before everyone!

"F*ck!" Wu Zhixiong scrambled to his feet, seeing that the man didn’t continue to attack him, allowing Wu Zhixiong to get back to Brother Shi’s side safely.

The two sides over there seemed to be enemies, and as soon as they met, the hulking figure that broke through the building roared angrily at the demonically handsome man, its tree-trunk-sized right arm thumping the ground thunderously as it charged forward!

The demonically handsome man facing it also let out a low zombie howl, and his clothes burst apart, revealing perfect muscle lines!

"I haven’t even come to find trouble with you, and yet you offer yourself up first. Fine, I’ll deal with you first!"

The man’s face wore a sinister smile, arms flexing with power, then Brother Shi and the others saw silver lines appearing on the man’s body, quickly spreading! Before long, the man’s entire body turned a dark silver that reflected light, his eyes transforming from a normal human’s to black, with blood-red irises gleaming with a bloodthirsty glow!

Roar!

"Holy sh*t! Isn’t that a Silver-armored Zombie!"

"How is this thing appearing in this place?"

The sudden transformation of the man left the three of them dumbfounded, and he even started fighting with the Sonic Zombie, seeming like there was quite a hatred between the Silver-armored Zombie and the Sonic Zombie!

Be it the Sonic Zombie or the Silver-armored Zombie, this wasn’t a place for the three of them to linger. Even though those two creatures were fighting to the death, it was best for them to be as far away as possible, understanding that from the fact that the Silver-armored Zombie could transform into a human-like appearance, it was definitely no pushover!

Carrying Ghost Head, Brother Shi and Wu Zhixiong turned to run back, intending to take another route, but the spread of the zombie horde was beyond their imagination. As soon as they reached the spot they had passed earlier, they saw a Level 5 zombie dragging a soldier and tossing him into its mouth. Its jagged fangs clamped shut, and instantly, violent screams accompanied by blood and flesh flew everywhere, startling the trio greatly!

"This way!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the zombie hadn’t noticed them, Wu Zhixiong led Brother Shi into the nearby alleyway, emerging from the corner just in time to see a mech crashing across, slamming into a building, causing it to slant down.

"Hide quickly!"

"Watch your head!"

"This way, stay close!"

While dodging the concrete debris falling from above, they also kept alert for zombies that could appear at any moment. A misstep with either could spell doom for all three!

Due to the mech being damaged, the officer inside was forced to perform an emergency ejection. However, without the protection of the mech, they were like vulnerable lambs among wolves outside, which is why throughout the route, the trio saw many comrades missing limbs wailing on the ground, but they paid no heed to them.

"F*ck, no way through!"

To minimize the risk of danger, the trio chose to pass through alleys to reach their destination, but now the way forward was blocked by collapsed building materials, hearing the incessant zombie roars outside made the trio anxious.

"Ma De, climb up!"

Now wasn’t the time to hesitate, Wu Zhixiong took the lead, agilely climbing onto a foothold six meters high, turning to look at Brother Shi, who also looked back carrying Ghost Head; Brother Shi could climb up, but with Ghost Head on his back as a burden, it might be a bit difficult...

After hesitating for a while and just about to ask Wu Zhixiong for a hand, as the saying goes, when it rains it pours, here it came.

Roar!

A zombie’s roar, very close, Brother Shi turned back, his face turning pale, a Level 4 zombie had noticed them while passing by!
