An Understated Dominance

Li Wenxing followed Qian Jin’s line of sight and saw a ball of white light speeding across the sky in the distance. Wherever the light passed, it sliced a long trail through the clouds , splitting even the thickest formations clean in half. In just two breaths, the white light had already arrived above the port, bringing with it a howling gale that rocked their helicopter violently. Once the winds settled, Li Wenxing looked up --- and saw a man in white robes . The two weren’t far apart --- just about two hundred meters. With Li Wenxing’s eyesight, he should’ve been able to clearly make out the man’s face. But strangely, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t see his features at all . It was as if there was a mist obscuring the man’s face --- like something stood between them, clouding his vision. “Uncle Qian, can you see that peerless expert’s face clearly?” Li Wenxing asked Qian Jin. “No, it’s completely concealed. He must be deliberately hiding his appearance,”...

At that moment, aboard the helicopter hovering over the port --- Li Wenxing and Qian Jin gazed down from above, looking at the dense horde of zombies swarming across the ground below. Both men couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. It had only been a little over ten hours since the zombie outbreak began, yet the number of infected had already exceeded ten thousand . Thankfully, Li Wenxing had acted swiftly, evacuating the nearby civilians at the first sign of trouble. Otherwise, if the corpse poison had been allowed to spread unchecked, it would’ve been impossible to contain. Even so, the presence of over ten thousand near-invulnerable zombies was still a massive headache. He had already ordered multiple rounds of aerial and artillery bombardments. Half the port had been destroyed, but the effect was negligible . Now, all he could do was focus on stalling the zombie horde as much as possible. “Your Highness, almost all the zombies in Wugang City have be...

For Dustin , aside from using mountains to suppress zombie hordes, there was another method --- extracting the deathly aura from within the zombies using his divine abilities. Once their death aura was drained, the zombies would lose the ability to move and become nothing more than lifeless corpses. However, this method was far too inefficient. It required draining them one by one . Faced with tens of thousands of zombies, that approach was clearly just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. It consumed a tremendous amount of energy and didn’t produce significant results. Instead of painstakingly draining death energy, it was far more effective to simply annihilate them with overwhelming force . Of course, the best approach was to herd all the zombies into one place , then use his ability to move mountains and reshape terrain to deal with them all at once. Quick. Efficient. Clean. The only challenge was how to gather all the zombies together . Otherwise, with the...

“Your Highness! Over a thousand of our brothers… gone, just like that!” “If I don’t slaughter every last one of those monsters, how could I ever face the spirits of the dead?!” Wan Zhong’s face was full of grief and rage, his hand gripping the blade trembling slightly. “The dead cannot return to life. Our brothers have already fallen --- you mustn’t throw your life away too. We have to retreat for now. Once we find a solution, we can avenge them,” Li Guanglong said, trying to persuade him. Losing ordinary soldiers could be remedied with reinforcements, but if someone like Wan Zhong --- an experienced and loyal general --- were to fall, it would be like losing an arm. There was no way he’d let that happen. “Your Highness…” “That’s an order!” Wan Zhong tried to say more, but Li Guanglong cut him off forcefully. As the zombie horde closed in on their position, Li Guanglong grew anxious. Without another word, he dragged Wan Zhong onto a nearby helicopter. With a loud ro...

When the zombie horde descended, Li Guanglong did not retreat. Instead, he led his troops into battle, attempting to repel the darkness with tanks and artillery. In Li Guanglong’s mind, even if these zombies were immune to bullets and blades, there was no way they could withstand tank shells and heavy artillery. A single shot from a tank could crush even solid steel --- surely a few rotting corpses couldn’t be any tougher. It was a sound theory --- but reality proved entirely different . The sheer number of zombies was overwhelming. As tens of thousands surged in from all directions, they became an unstoppable tide. Zombies felt no fear. They didn’t retreat. They simply charged straight through artillery fire without hesitation. The military fortifications, so painstakingly built, were utterly useless against the undead. Bullets had no real effect --- the zombies just shrugged them off. Tanks and cannons could indeed tear zombies apart, but the efficiency was painfull...

“Zombies?” Dustin raised an eyebrow in surprise. “I’ve only heard people mention them. Never seen one in person. Are they really as formidable as the legends say?” Zombies --- sinister beings that exist outside the Six Paths --- were said to be immortal, feeding on human blood and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. Ancient texts described terrifying zombies capable of razing entire cities, leaving behind nothing but scorched earth. “Zombies are beings of extreme evil and darkness,” Margaret said solemnly. “Their bodies are like iron and bronze --- impervious to weapons. Destroying them is extremely difficult. What’s worse is the corpse poison they carry. Anyone bitten or scratched by them will become a new zombie. One turns into ten, ten into a hundred…” Corpse poison spread far more violently than any plague. Plagues could be contained with medicine. But once corpse poison spread, there was no stopping it. The only solution was to eliminate everyone infected , co...

“What’s going on? Why are those people hopping like that?” “Their eyes are glowing green… they don’t look human. Could they be some kind of monster?” “Stay alert! Don’t let your guard down!” “…” As the figures approached, the soldiers guarding the checkpoint grew increasingly wary, instinctively raising their rifles. The figures hopped faster and faster, and soon reached the checkpoint. Under the checkpoint lights, the soldiers finally got a clear look --- and their expressions changed drastically. “Zombies! They're zombies!” “Open fire! Quickly --- open fire!” Seeing those shriveled bodies with glowing green eyes, the soldiers didn’t hesitate. They opened fire. Gunfire echoed rapidly as bullets rained down on the zombies --- but to no effect. The zombies' dried-up bodies were as hard as steel, utterly impervious to bullets. When the first round of ammunition was exhausted, the zombies remained virtually unscathed --- except their clothes were now more t...
