CHAPTER 2039: CHAPTER 2032: CANNIBAL CORPSES

After dealing with Ah Fu, the Abyssal Zombie King finally turned its attention to Bai Huipeng and attacked decisively!

Without Ah Fu’s assistance, he was unable to hold his ground alone. Trembling, he retreated a few steps, but eventually stopped, his expression hardening. Remembering Dong Wenlu’s death, his anger ignited once more!

If he couldn’t dodge, then he would advance!

The Abyssal Zombie King’s arm was reaching for him, and without any intention to evade, he gripped his weapon with one hand and leaped into the air!

"This is the last strike!" he roared, executing a suicidal attack aimed right at the opponent’s head, hoping that the most fatal crystal was there!

If successful, the Zombie King would fall!

If unsuccessful, with the Zombie King targeting him, he had nowhere to escape!

In an instant, he hurriedly pulled back, but it was too late; one of the giant hands caught him precisely!

Thump!

A chill spread through his heart. Bai Huipeng completely gave up resisting. As the sharp blade pierced his flesh, he was tightly held, watching as a giant mouth inched closer and closer, until countless spikes converged and completely pierced through his body.

After a brief moment of pain, his consciousness sank into darkness, and his final words were no more than a pitiful three words.

"Goodbye..."

Elsewhere, Ah Fu’s wounds quickly healed. Zombies, who feel no pain, have no concept of collapsing in severe injury. As he stumbled to his feet, he immediately realized Bai Huipeng had vanished from his senses. He froze, strange emotions trickled through his mind, soon magnifying, turning his already crimson eyes even redder.

An uncontrollable rage shattered everything. He looked skyward and let out an agonizing howl, turning hoarse from thick to raspy!

Lava surged from his massive body, his hoarse cries turning silent.

Indescribable feelings overwhelmed him as he instinctively scratched his bald head.

"Old White is dead...Old White is dead...really dead!"

He chanted repeatedly, discovering that Heiya was gone, Li Man was gone, Gert was gone, and Abeng was also gone! Finally, he broke down!

He angrily gazed westward, where Tang Ye was battling, observing two Zombie Kings fighting farther and farther away. The distant battle scene became harder to discern, now just a hazy gray silhouette, like it could vanish at any moment, with powerful winds constantly brushing his face.

Unable to find Tang Ye, he still shouted at him as though Tang Ye stood right before him.

"Boss! Did you see? Old White is dead! Come...ahh! Come—here—ah! They’re all dead! Come! Take a look...come take a look!"

The mournful shout echoed in the desolate dusk, with no one responding.

Thud!

The sixty-eight-meter giant knelt powerlessly, his mind filled with despair and regret, which was soon shattered by a raging inferno!

Madness descended!

It crawled upon the body of reason, devouring it whole!

Roar~

His cries shifted from wails to a violent howl, black mist enveloped the surging lava, growing denser as if alive, forming into a black light in Ah Fu’s hands, slowly shaping into a massive pike.

The lengthened zombie roar climbed from low to high, reverberating for a prolonged period. Just when people believed it would cease, it escalated sharply upward, containing a fury seemingly capable of scorching one’s soul dry!

At the moment reason was entirely consumed, Ah Fu aimed the pike made of black mist at the Abyssal Zombie King and hurled it without hesitation!

The sharp pike tip compressed the air, tearing it apart! People only felt the air suddenly becoming stifling as they watched the lengthy pike streak across the sky!

"Ah!" In a final moment, Ah Fu’s shout mixed with grief and anger as he charged alongside the pike he had thrown, each step shattering the ground!

Driven by zombie instinct, his body underwent immense transformation. His firm and hardened muscles inexplicably expanded and softened, becoming layers upon layers of piled flesh; in just over ten seconds, Ah Fu transformed from a muscular man into a giant covered in flabby flesh!

His body swelled several times over!

The lava flowing on his body instead became small tattoos! The flesh concealed the bone mountain on his back, his facial features now indiscernible.

He had entered a berserk state, charging towards the Abyssal Zombie King!

The giant pike flying through the air struck the Zombie King first, directly breaking several insect legs!

A strange sensation arose, forcing the Zombie King to turn its gaze back towards Ah Fu, who by now looked completely different. The wobbling layers of flabby flesh with each step seemed grotesque, ugly, and greasy!

Strangely, the Abyssal Zombie King’s face bore no trace of disdain, rather, a hint of admiration flashed in its multiple eyes, along with a sense of kinship with its kind.

Ah Fu’s current form, in its eyes, wasn’t ugly, but instead, the most perfect!

It’s the ultimate display of an absolute power type zombie!

It’s its final form upon becoming a Level 9, likewise, it’s also Ah Fu’s!

This isn’t a downgrade, absolute power-evolved zombies possess astonishing defensive capabilities, mostly manifested in their skin. However, atop such skin lay an unfathomably thick, shocking layer of flesh!

The muscles haven’t vanished, but reside beneath the thick flesh!

It’s the pinnacle of high offense with formidable defense!

It never imagined encountering such a similar kind on this new continent!

Truly rare.

Its interest in this kind began to grow.

But why?

Why is such an excellent kind not its follower?

It couldn’t comprehend, and while contemplating, Ah Fu charged over, directly embracing its equally massive and bloated body!

In berserk mode, Ah Fu’s strength doubled! With brute force, he managed to lift the upper half of the Abyssal Zombie King’s body. But once it realized, the opponent let out a shrill laugh, amidst bizarre emotions, its numerous dry arms spread open simultaneously, grabbing Ah Fu’s arms and forcefully overpowering him, pinning him in return!

The Abyssal Zombie King wasn’t in a rush; for it, the interest in Ah Fu far surpassed the desire for a meal, brainwaves rippled, yet the transmitted message wasn’t about recruiting.

"I will eat you, kekeke..."

Uncertain if it was a warning, this message was disregarded by Ah Fu, who was now overwhelmed by out-of-control murderous intent. His colossal body split open from chest to abdomen, forming a vertically aligned gigantic mouth!

He also intended to eat the opponent!

At this moment, the brainwaves from the Abyssal Zombie King became intermittent, seemingly mocking. In the next second, it, like Ah Fu, revealed a massive vertical mouth on its upper torso!

Ha~

The muffled zombie roar spread from their centers outward, with Ah Fu initiating the act of devouring!

Alas, how could a miracle occur so easily? Ah Fu merely berserked due to anger—it was no Level 9 Zombie King, and the gap was unforgivingly vast.

As he opened his abdominal maw, the opponent similarly revealed an even wider, even thicker mouth, enclosing him entirely!

The moment the dense flesh made contact with Ah Fu’s body, it spread with fungus-like speed, swiftly enveloping Ah Fu, drawing him into its belly!

He began to struggle, causing the sphere-like belly of the Abyssal Zombie King to rise and fall continuously, but soon, the belly calmed.

This spectacle of mutual devouring zombies left many high-level zombies and humans who were still capable of thought dumbfounded, though the final outcome became apparent.
