When Chen Chaoyang winked at him, Yan Jie instantly understood what he meant. Chen wanted him to submit to Tang Ye in exchange for his life, but he still struggled with the decision inside.
This would mean betraying humanity! As a human himself, how could he abandon his own species without feeling guilty?
He couldn’t even imagine how Chen Chaoyang and Li Xiaoyan could submit to Tang Ye so effortlessly.
Weren’t they humans too?
In an instant, a flurry of thoughts rushed through his mind. He pictured himself," standing at Tang Ye’s side, obsequiously helping him to attack the Human Base, that image of himself he found particularly repugnant.
But then he had no choice. No one wanted to die for no reason, so becoming a traitor was also forced by external factors!
Why would he willingly become a traitor to his people?
When Yan Jie remained silent for a long time, Tang Ye started to feel impatient. He was ready to kill Yan Jie right then and there. The fleshy flaps that had replaced an entire arm started to contract, intertwining and twisting together into an arm.
The degenerated scales on the upper arm appeared, quickly forming a blade about a meter and a half long. Just as it was about to strike Yan Jie, the sound of rotating helicopter blades suddenly echoed from the sky.
Subconsciously, Tang Ye looked up and saw a bright light shining from the sky at his location. Shielding his eyes, Tang Ye’s killing intent surged, momentarily ignoring Yan Jie.
A large bulge abruptly appeared on Tai Ye’s back, which looked solid like a rock. It then split open, and dozens of spikes as thick as an arm sprouted out, reaching toward the sky, and abruptly latched onto the landing gear of the helicopter.
Dozens of these massive spikes combined looked like a huge white pillar. The helicopter’s pilot panicked at the sight of these terrifying spikes, and hastily pulled the helicopter upward to escape from Tang Ye’s grasp. But to everyone’s shock, Tang Ye remained as steady as a rock and was not affected by the force exerted by the helicopter.
Upon witnessing Tang Ye’s terrifying strength, the pilot was shocked and frantically tried to change course. Even though he knew it was futile, he still wanted to try.
"Shoot it, shoot it now!"
The vehicle-mounted machine gun on the helicopter fired relentlessly at Tang Ye. The bullets, each leaving a dazzling trail, were reflected in Tang Ye’s eyes. He laughed, full of excitement.
As a Level 4 zombie, he was filled with surprises. At that moment, he felt like a god!
The thermal weapons humans took pride in could not harm him at all! He was like a superhero. Although he couldn’t fly, all he needed was to further understand his own abilities!
He could control all the muscles in his body, which meant he could stretch out all his flesh and form a pair of makeshift wings!
Upon hearing the relentless firing of the machine gun, Chen Chaoyang and the others reflexively covered their eyes. As soon as the bullets were released, the upper half of Tang Ye’s body bloomed like a flower petal, transforming him into a nine-meter-tall monster.
The flesh in his upper body rolled and writhed, the ribs splayed out like teeth. His enormous body shielded the trio, resisting all the bullets.
On the side of Tang Ye’s colossal body was an arm that was now quite small in comparison. But his hand was firmly gripping a fluffy rubber band.
The spikes that had extended earlier now retracted, violently pulling down the helicopter in the air and smashing it onto the ground.
Parts of the helicopter flew everywhere, causing sparks to fly and shattering many windows.
After transforming, Tang Ye’s pair of eyes had been pushed into his flesh, plunging him into darkness. Although he could not see, he found a way!
After extending a dozen or so spikes, the section above the opening split again, with hundreds of scale-covered tendrils extending to replace Tang Ye’s eyes.
All in all, Tang Ye looked like a giant flower made of flesh and blood, with those tendrils functioning as his stamen!
The tendrils all formed a circle, and amidst the whirl of flesh petals, a hole was created. From within the hole, Tang Ye’s head stuck out, emitting a strange cackling sound.
As his height increased drastically, he could see the surrounding scene more clearly. There were another three helicopters approaching gradually.
After a casual glance, Tang Ye’s laughter became even louder, causing the soldiers coming for reinforcements to tremble. Especially upon seeing Tang Ye’s nightmarish figure, they couldn’t help but freeze.
The people inside the nearby houses were also terrified by Tang Ye. They were so scared that they hid under their blankets, under their beds, and under their tables, trembling in fear, afraid of being discovered by Tang Ye.
After a casual look around, the giant flesh petals of Tang Ye’s flesh flower stretched out and began to rotate, creating gusts of winds that forced the helicopters backward, destroying another in the process.
A missile launched from the helicopters soared toward Tang Ye, exploding upon impact and creating a huge cloud of blood mist.
The larger Tang Ye’s body became, the lower density it had, the missile caused his body to erupt in a rain of flesh and blood.
"You... You’re asking for it!"
Tang Ye’s head turned toward the helicopter that had shot the missile and radiated killing intent. A tendril lunged forward, aiming for the helicopter and ripped apart its rotor blades.
Deprived of its rotor blades, the helicopter swayed in the air before falling and exploding into a burning wreckage on the ground!
A murderous rage consumed Tang Ye. Once the battle started, he could not stop. As he directed a tendril to attack another helicopter, a beam of blue light suddenly blazed through the air, piercing through one of his flesh petals and almost reaching Tang Ye’s head.
Upon seeing this, Tang Ye quickly retracted his head back into his flesh and kept it hidden!
The eyes on his tendrils looked toward the source of the blue light, which came from a tank parked on a road. As soon as the target was identified, Tang Ye’s spikes instantly sprang into action, smashing like a giant anaconda, causing dust to fill the air.
The broad road was riddled with cracks due to the impact of the spikes.
Just as he was about to deal another blow, an eye on one of his tendrils caught sight of a pair of bright eyes looking at him from a window in one of the buildings.
Something in Tang Ye’s mind jolted. His normal arm instinctively tightened its grip on the fluffy rubber band in his hand. It was as if he just remembered something...
It seemed he was supposed to fulfill someone’s wish...
The soldiers aiming their guns at Tang Ye’s enlarged body also halted at the same time. They noticed that Tang Ye’s spinning flesh petals had stopped moving, and for some unknown reason, he was standing there as still as a statue, like a writer that just had a sudden inspiration, deep in thought.
