Chapter 400: Zombies!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wang Mang was stunned at first, but soon became overjoyed.
Another mission! Furthermore, this one should be quite doable.
Honestly, if the first mission option had offered 10 billion evolution value, he would have taken it right away.
He was currently pressed for time, so he immediately tossed away the third and fourth mission options, despite their generous rewards. That left him with…
“System, 1 choose Mission 2!”
[Ding! Congratulations! The host has successfully selected a mission option! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward!]
The other reason why he had chosen the second mission option was that it overlapped with the demon embryo mission. With some luck, he would be able to complete both at the same time.
With that thought in mind, Wang Mang soared into the sky, flapped his eight wings, and rushed toward his father’s base.
If nothing unexpected happened, his father would probably start to clear out the zombies from Yi Zun City.
When Wang Mang arrived, he discovered that his father was no longer there, but after asking around, he learned that his father had indeed already led his army of mercenaries to wipe out the zombies.
He left the base, and scanned the city from the skies.
Soon, he saw his father leading a large army of people to clear out the zombies on the streets of the city. However, there were simply too many zombies that flooded the city.
Even Wang Mang was at a loss. He could take them out with his divine powers, but he would take the entire city out at the same time.
Moments later, Wang Mang transformed into his human form and descended from the sky.
Father Wang, who was standing at the rear of the army, spotted Wang Mang when he came up to him.
“What are you doing here? Are you so free nowadays?”
Hearing this, Wang Mang did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Father, it’s not like that! 1 just received a mission to eliminate all the zombies in the province!”
Father Wang was a little surprised, but he did not probe into the matter. He just nodded helplessly and said, “That’s easier said than done. The resistance we’ve encountered is greater than I imagined!”
Wang Mang noticed his father’s helpless expression.
There was a large number of zombies constantly pouring out onto the streets from god knows where. If half of the population had become zombies, then this number would only increase as time passed and more people were bitten and turned into zombies.
His father had a few thousand mercenaries, but there were at least 60 million zombies in the province by now. It gave Wang Mang a headache just thinking about it!
He realized that unless there was some special method, it would be impossible to eliminate the zombies in the province within a short period of time.
Wang Mang’s heart sank at this thought, and he muttered helplessly to himself, “What’s going on? Why does it feel like the missions issued by the system are getting more and more difficult?”
At this moment, a person who looked like a senior officer ran over from the frontlines. Then, his face turned pale as he said, “General, the advisors have determined that if this stalemate continues, we will run out of bullets and be unable to advance into the city!”
Father Wang’s face darkened.
“Are zombies really endless?”
Hearing this, the officer said with a heavy expression, “General, from the observations of the advisors, these zombies seemed to be under something or someone’s control!”
“If this goes on, we’ll run out of ammunition and might not even be able to protect ourselves. Although we’ve killed tens of thousands of zombies, there are still plenty more inside the city.”
After listening to the officer’s analysis, Father Wang fell into deep thought, and the helplessness on his face became even more evident. Obviously, the chances of this operation to succeed were not high.
“How many survivors have we rescued?”
“About 4,000 people, and these are all survivors living nearby.”
Hearing this, Father Wang nodded.
“Retreat for now!”
Father Wang then turned to the Black Dragon Emperor and the Stone Emperor and said, “You guys go and cover their retreat.”
The Black Dragon Emperor and the Stone Emperor nodded and soared into the sky, turning into giants that were hundreds of meters tall.
Following that, the Stone Emperor used his divine power. The moment the troops gave the order to cease fire, a ten-meter-tall earthen wall rose from the ground, separating the two sides.
At the same time, Father Wang led his troops to retreat.
Ten minutes later, the army had retreated a safe distance, after which the Stone Emperor and Black Dragon Emperor also left. However, Wang Mang did not move from his spot.
These zombies seemed to be under the control of some existence?
If he could catch the person who was secretly controlling the zombies, would he not be able to clear the zombies out of the province faster?
At this moment, Wang Mang suddenly felt a brief stabbing pain in his head.
This was a weak spiritual attack.
Although it was harmless to Wang Mang, this was further proof that these zombies might have been controlled!
Wang Mang abruptly raised his head, his sharp gaze sweeping the surroundings.
At the same time, he began to seriously search for the source of this spiritual attack.
Soon, Wang Mang spotted an inconspicuous figure on the top of a tall building in the distance.
When this tiny figure saw Wang Mang’s gaze, it seemed to be frightened and quickly left his sight.
Wang Mang’s eyes lit up.. This inconspicuous figure was likely the culprit behind the zombies!
