Chapter 796: Chapter 796: A Quantum Leap
"No, no, we are not controlling zombies. How can humans control zombies!"
Upon hearing No. 1’s words, Bai Yifan hurriedly waved his hand.
Captain Zhang was here, so he dared not speak carelessly.
How could the captain of the Human Survivor Alliance tolerate humans and zombies in the same camp!
"Impossible!"
No. 1 didn’t believe it at all. The huge waves on him surged wildly, hitting the ice wall again and again.
But it could only make a trace of mist rise from the ice wall, not harming the people inside.
These people were so close to the zombie horde, yet they weren’t attacked. Saying they had no connection, he didn’t believe it.
No. 1 was almost insane, his energy fluctuations were extremely intense, and an energy storm visible to the naked eye appeared beside him.
All at once, it transformed into scorching flames, even burning the device at his temple to ashes.
No. 1’s face was twisted beyond recognition, no longer showing his original appearance.
He grew up in the base, and now that it was gone, his rage skyrocketed.
"What a pity, such a powerful superpower user. If his heart were with humanity, he could surely protect some survivors."
Captain Zhang glanced at the energy fluctuations around No. 1, a hint of regret in his eyes.
Powerful high-rank superpower users were not common. Searching all over Huaxia, there were no more than twenty as formidable as Base Commander Leng, cold and fierce.
However, when counting the zombies of the same level as Base Commander Leng, including the hordes they could control, this number far exceeded twenty.
The powers of a Zombie King were limited, but its zombie underlings were endless.
Therefore, compared to zombies, humans were always at a disadvantage.
Captain Zhang always cherished talent. When seeking high-rank superpower users worldwide, he’d lend a hand to those with great potential.
His aim was not to earn gratitude, just to ensure that humanity had more strong survivors.
So the bleak future he foresaw wouldn’t occur, where human superpower users couldn’t resist zombies, Earth turning into hell, with everything seen reduced to ruins.
"Protect some survivors? Ha! Our base’s purpose is to control the whole world, making the world serve us, eventually making us tomb guardians the gods in everyone’s eyes!"
No. 1 heard Captain Zhang’s words and sneered contemptuously, his words reeking of madness.
He was immersed in his beautiful fantasy.
Whether it was them or Wang Ge’s line, they all wanted to become gods. Creating gods was their sole purpose.
No matter how many people die, they must succeed.
Once, No. 1 was also a victim, experimented on from childhood by the tomb guardian lineage. He gradually became brainwashed by the grand blueprint to become a god.
Captain Zhang heard No. 1’s words and lightly shook his head.
Even if No. 1 said something else, Captain Zhang might hesitate, but if he said this, then he couldn’t stay.
Leaving him would only bring more torment to human superpower users, counter to preserving their strength.
Captain Zhang squinted. "Xiao Fan, turn your head."
"Got it!"
Bai Yifan responded and actually turned his head.
The advantage of being simple-minded is obedience and not questioning why.
The energy storm around No. 1 accumulated again to a terrifying level, three times hotter than the sun above.
This time, it seemed it could truly melt Captain Zhang’s ice wall.
Captain Zhang moved his fingers, and the ice wall vanished instantly.
Bai Xiqin felt her skin didn’t feel the heatwave’s assault, but rather a cooling sensation.
Captain Zhang stood still, only raising his hand lightly at No. 1, and a pointed ice needle formed at his fingertip.
It was called an ice needle because it was transparent, but Bai Xiqin couldn’t feel any temperature.
No coldness, not heat.
The ice needle shot out, aiming at No. 1’s direction.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the air was split by the ice needle.
Like Kua Fu wielding a giant axe, separating heaven and earth.
The ice needle cut through the air, meeting No. 1’s heatwave. As it touched, the heatwave instantly retracted.
The red balloon was pierced, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
The immense energy left nothing behind, pierced by a single ice needle.
No. 1 faced the ice needle shot by Captain Zhang as if facing a flood of beasts. Even though it was a mere ice needle, he felt he could not resist it.
Escape!
At this moment, this was the only thing on his mind.
He had to leave here quickly, or he’d be killed by an ice needle.
He had never been so afraid of a mere ice needle.
No. 1 turned to run, but it was too late.
The ice needle was right before him.
"Uh—"
No. 1 let out his final syllable, then fell straight to the ground.
In his temple, there was an ice needle lodged. On the other side of his temple, it was perfectly intact.
The highly aggressive ice needle didn’t pierce through the other side of his temple.
It entered his brain and then disappeared.
"Bang!"
No. 1’s body hit the ground, immediately bringing the sound of shattering glass.
A body, instantly crumbled to dust.
The dust scattered into powder form, and as the breeze blew, it disappeared in an instant, leaving not a trace.
The extreme cold froze the protein in No. 1’s body. A light force turned his hundred-plus pound body to dust, then vanished.
The Bai Family was dumbstruck.
For the first time, they saw someone with such a powerful Ice Ability!
Bai Xiqin, Liu Jing, and Leng Yebai all had Ice Abilities; they could turn people into ice sculptures, but freezing into powdery substances was far beyond them.
It’s hard to imagine how formidable Captain Zhang was.
Silence—
Around them, only the growls of zombies and heavy breathing could be heard, with the Bai Family standing silently, watching the spot where No. 1 once stood.
No. 1’s organization aimed to create gods.
Could they create gods? It was still unknown.
The Bai Family thought Captain Zhang was the true deity, right?
"Alright, you can look now."
Captain Zhang glanced at the nearby zombie horde, speaking softly, lightly patting Bai Yifan’s shoulder.
Among the zombie horde, some blank-eyed zombies were "watching" in their direction.
They didn’t comprehend the meaning of the scene before them, but the images could be transmitted back intact via brainwaves.
Transmitted to their emperor.
This was a warning from Captain Zhang, also a signal.
He could accept peaceful coexistence with zombies, but couldn’t tolerate a Zombie King infiltrating the Human Survivor Alliance.
Xiao Li was the first Zombie King sent by Zhang Yiming, and he hoped it would be the last.
Humans are humans, zombies are zombies.
Each with their own interests.
Humans were already at a disadvantage. If the Zombie King freely infiltrated the alliance, humanity would soon become zombie reserves.
Captain Zhang only wanted humans to have bargaining chips to negotiate with zombies.
"Eh? Where’s that person?"
Bai Yifan turned around and didn’t see No. 1, thinking the person had silently slipped away.
After all, with the whole family present and Captain Zhang here, No. 1 clearly couldn’t defeat them.
He just ran too fast, Bai Yifan didn’t hear any movement at all.
"You youngsters needn’t know about these things."
Captain Zhang patted the dust off his clothes, continuing to watch the zombie horde ahead.
No. 1 was dead, and the remaining superpower users inside had no momentum, so it quickly quieted down completely.
A hint of reluctance flashed in Captain Zhang’s eyes, his fingers tightened and then relaxed, yet he did nothing.
These people deserved to die.
No matter how strong a superpower user, if they harmed their kind, their existence meant nothing.
The zombies began to scatter towards the foot of the hill, more and more occasionally glancing towards Captain Zhang.
Observing him.
Captain Zhang met their gaze with ease, his face expressionless.
