章 37: Chapter 37: Attack of the Corpse King

Chapter 37: Attack of the Corpse King

The situation had become crystal clear.

Years ago, Lee Jong Hi, in a secret realm, extracted the heart of a zombie to control it, feeding it human blood and turning hundreds of living people into lesser zombies.

Later, the zombie, having consumed too much blood, evolved, leading to an uncontrollable situation! Lee Jong Hi managed to escape but caused countless people from his own generation to suffer.

Realizing he was likely doomed and even his family might be in danger, he found a way to send his younger brother, Lee Jae Yong, to another country to live incognito, changing his identity.

He also handed over the zombie's heart to his brother, Lee Jae Yong.

Lee Jae Yong, driven by a desire for vengeance for his family, finally seized the opportunity presented by this secret realm.

Coincidentally,

Lee Jae Yong, this guy, happened to be in the same generation as Chen Ye and Tang Zichen, and came across a plan by other countries to assassinate Tang Zichen.

He then hid among these elites, waiting for the right moment to reveal himself.

His aim, naturally, was to make these top students from various countries feel fear and despair before dying! Because Lee Jae Yong had experienced it himself.

So, he wanted them to taste this feeling! If he had awakened the evolved zombie as soon as he entered the secret realm, although he could have killed many people, it felt like something was missing, not satisfying enough, which is why he bided his time until today.

It can be said that even without Tang Zichen, Lee Jae Yong would have awakened the evolved zombie.

Chen Ye and Tang Zichen just happened to be there.

...

The development of the situation.

Was truly unexpected!

It was originally thought that Tang Zichen was the protagonist of this secret realm.

Unexpectedly, she was actually a supporting character, and the main character was someone else...

Such a twist left many people present feeling incredible and incredulous.

"Damn yellow monkey!!"

The previously angry American young man glared at Lee Jae Yong: "After I kill the monster you spoke of, I'll twist your head off and stuff it into your ass!"

Facing the threat, Lee Jae Yong appeared indifferent, not caring at all.

"Stupid white pig, do you think you can still live? The evolved leaping zombie, its power, far exceeds your imagination."

Lee Jae Yong laughed, scanning the crowd.

Seeing everyone looking at him coldly, Lee Jae Yong continued: "What, want to kill me? Then go ahead! I'm very satisfied to have so many of you accompany me in death."

He faced them calmly, without a trace of fear, clearly ready to die.

Faced with someone who wasn't afraid of death, everyone else was at a loss.

Someone noticed the still-beating heart on the ground and immediately said: "Destroy the monster's heart quickly!"

The people nearby rushed up and chopped the heart into pieces with alloy weapons.

Unexpectedly,

Just as the heart was destroyed, a howl sounded from afar again.

"Roar!!"

This time, the monster's voice seemed to carry anger, with great penetrating power.

Everyone listening felt a shiver in their hearts!

And, it seemed to be much closer than before.

This indicated that the monster was rapidly approaching them.

The faint-hearted had already turned pale with fear and started to run.

Seeing this, Lee Jae Yong laughed loudly, uttering a nonsensical phrase: "Hey! Skinny old men, don't run!"

By then, no one was paying attention to him anymore.

Seeing some of their companions running away, others also began to think about retreating.

The young man from Japan, who was knowledgeable, immediately shouted to stop them: "No one can leave!"

"You should all have heard from your school teachers about how formidable this monster is. If we stick together, we still have a hope of killing it. If we scatter and run, we will only die faster! Its speed is definitely many times faster than yours."

The young man from Japan said this, and it really calmed everyone down.

Everyone understood his reasoning and decided to join forces to kill the monster first!

As for the original target of this mission, Tang Zichen, she could no longer be a priority...

Even fools knew that clashing with Tang Zichen at this time would only lead to mutual destruction, making it easier for the monster to kill them.

The change in everyone's attitude was all observed by Lee Jae Yong.

He said nothing, just sneered, then looked expectantly into the distance.

...

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly!

A chilling wind blew.

The temperature around them dropped several degrees in an instant.

Many felt the chill invade, shivering involuntarily.

Standing next to Tang Zichen, Chen Ye frowned slightly and immediately looked around, his eyes alert.

According to movie plots,

Usually, when the chilling wind starts to blow, it means the zombie is nearing...

Honestly,

If it weren't for Lee Jae Yong's mess, Chen Ye wouldn't be afraid of the siege by these people at all.

Being a freshman himself, he was well aware of the strengths of other freshmen.

If Lee Jae Yong hadn't jumped out, he would have already put these losers in their place.

Now,

With the evolved zombie about to appear, Chen Ye was a bit worried.

Mainly because he didn't know the strength of this zombie.

Being cautious by nature, he felt it was better to be safe in the face of unknown enemy strength.

He wasn't bald yet.

Being careful was definitely the right choice.

"Class monitor, if things go south later, I'll take you with me. Remember to cooperate."

Chen Ye whispered.

With his current speed, running at full speed would definitely be impressive.

Although Chen Ye had not tested it specifically, he was very confident he could outrun a car.

Plus, with his strength, carrying someone and running away would definitely not be a problem.

Especially since Tang Zichen's physique was relatively slim, weighing probably around 100 pounds due to her height.

A hundred pounds, to put it not exaggeratedly, Chen Ye could lift her without using his hands...

"You're taking me with you?"

Tang Zichen was puzzled upon hearing this: "How do you want me to cooperate with you?"

"Uh!" Chen Ye was taken aback and said, "Don't struggle, it's best to hold onto me actively. I'm afraid it'll hurt (due to wind resistance) when I start moving at full speed!"

Tang Zichen: "..."

You better be serious!

At this moment,

Someone suddenly exclaimed.

"The monster... the monster is coming!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a dark figure that had appeared on their left front side at some unknown time.

The figure stared at them, motionless, standing there as if at ease.

With the help of the moonlight, they could barely make out the silhouette of the dark figure.

The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a pair of exaggerated fangs, sharper and longer than those of large felids...

It was dressed in tattered long robes, with a lot of dark skin exposed, and under a head of messy, straw-like hair, was a face severely peeling off...

What was most surprising were its eyes.

Unlike other zombies' blood-red eyes.

They were black like human eyes, the pupils dark.

At this moment, its eyes were fixed on them, its gaze lively, as if it had awakened intelligence.
