Chapter 840: Chapter 840: Indulgence
The superpower users sitting inside the truck have no idea what’s ahead.
All they feel is an eerie silence surrounding them.
Ten kilometers ahead of the truck driven by the base commander, the endless black sea rolls across the ground.
Their faces are vacant, more than a year since the apocalypse, and the rotten flesh hanging from them sways precariously with every violent shake.
It’s rare to see any zombie in a decent condition.
Nearly every zombie has limbs with varying degrees of fractures, twisted in bizarre ways, yet it doesn’t hinder their movement.
At the forefront of the zombie horde, there are a few clean figures.
It’s Zombie King Li Mucheng, Zombie King Xiao Li, and Zombie King Li Mo spanning three generations of grandfather, father, and son.
Just by standing there, they can intimidate all zombies within dozens of miles.
Not to mention at the back of the zombie horde, Zhang Yiming is riding a motorcycle following them.
Xiao Lan Zombie and Fan Tangtang are not idle; they are sprinting towards a certain direction at a terrifying speed.
The places they pass, the zombies unhesitatingly follow them.
Squad after squad of zombies surge toward the seashore.
As they near the beach, the leading Zombie Kings scatter and sprint in different directions, their speed turning them into afterimages, making it hard to discern who is who.
Their orders are clear: they have gone to execute the emperor’s commands.
If satellites were still usable at this moment, everyone could witness such a thrilling yet horrifying scene.
The densely packed black ocean, like ants, gradually crowded onto the sandy shore.
This black expanse is more magnificent than the Great Wall.
It cuts off the azure seawater.
The black sand inevitably sticks to the rotting flesh, as it falls onto the beach, clumping the sand together.
On the shore, aside from the zombies from land, zombies of sea creatures are also gradually surfacing from the water.
Among them are numerous small decomposed creatures.
Various fish, octopuses, jellyfish, crabs...
A pungent fishy odor emanates from their bodies, without the menace of zombies, yet they carry the same relentless stance against flesh and blood.
Zombies and zombie sea creatures simultaneously appear on the beach.
They don’t attack each other.
Mutually assuming the other is lifeless.
Unless influenced by high-rank zombie brainwaves, otherwise they show no interest in decayed flesh.
"Roar――"
A sudden roar erupts from the zombie horde.
Following it, an ear-splitting chorus of zombie roars and a dense volley of thudding sounds arise.
The zombies are the first to move.
They lunged at the ground, their sharp claws unhesitatingly grasping the decayed fish and shrimp and crab on the ground, desperately stuffing them into their mouths.
The shell of the zombie crab remains rigid, its pincers flailing, slicing through a zombie’s mouth, exposing black gums.
Yet it doesn’t affect their consumption.
The zombie sea creatures are momentarily dazed, not responding to the sudden attack by the zombies.
The true commander is not at the shore but deep in the ocean.
In fear of Zhang Yiming’s brainwaves, it doesn’t dare expose its own brainwaves, only utilizing the brainwaves of zombies as relay stations to command those zombie sea creatures.
Crunch, crunch――
The zombie sea creatures finally begin to move.
The zombie shrimp, with a curled body, directly targets the zombie’s temple for collisions.
Once, twice without consequence...
The tenth, eleventh collision can pierce a zombie’s brain, causing a zombie to lose action.
While zombies heartily devour zombie sea creatures, indifferent to eating zombie crabs or zombie shrimp.
As long as it’s from the sea, they eat.
The struggle, appearing labor-intensive, is just a microcosm of the entire beach.
Too many tiny zombie sea creatures, once they really mix into inland, would become a troubling matter for humanity as well.
Tens of thousands of zombies sprawling on the ground keep busy, creaking sounds echo everywhere.
With their heads down, a random bite can eliminate numerous zombie sea creatures.
Chewing on seafood shells is like gnawing on human bones.
On the sea surface, vague shadows can still be seen.
The colossal beings have yet to enter the fray.
Those being eaten are merely appetizers.
Zhang Yiming sits on the motorcycle, expressionless, watching the zombies devour zombie sea creatures, occasionally turning back to glance behind.
The roar of trucks reaches from behind; the human superpower users are nearing.
She is coming too.
Ambiguity flickers in Zhang Yiming’s eyes.
Brainwaves abruptly sharpen considerably; all variety of zombie sea creatures on the beach suddenly halt.
Motionless.
No matter how the brainwaves of sea zombies direct, they remain perfectly still.
The zombies speed up even more, mercilessly swallowing decayed shells and fish.
The densely packed small marine creatures instantly lessen significantly.
However, as Zhang Yiming releases brainwaves, the ocean’s massive beings begin to grow restless.
Those gigantic beings equate to Zombie Kings on land; their intelligence surpasses that of small children, easily recognizing—Zhang Yiming on land can indeed control zombie animals in the ocean.
This is seen firsthand.
For zombie sea creatures to control land zombies consumes more effort than directly controlling zombie sea creatures.
Those zombified seafood in large numbers appear to have low combat effectiveness, yet controlling them isn’t something just any Zombie King can accomplish.
Whereas Zhang Yiming only requires a single thought.
A massive shadow quietly departs from the group of enormous shadows, heading toward the ocean’s depths.
More shadows approach the shore by a third.
The rotten spine of the zombie whale surfaces, resembling a small mountain.
The zombie octopus wriggles its claws, rotten to the point of imminent detachment, baring its fangs and claws.
Several enormous sea turtles emerge from the water, each turtle’s shell as large as a small island.
These turtles float at the forefront.
No carrion clings to their bodies, nor does any decay scent linger.
Yet Zhang Yiming can sense their brainwave emissions, incredibly powerful.
These are the Zombie Kings of the sea.
Though they possess the appearance of normal sea turtles, they are undeniably zombies.
Zhang Yiming refrains from controlling them directly with brainwaves; he believes he can achieve it, yet there are too many large zombie sea creatures at the coast.
He doesn’t have the assurance to control all zombie sea creatures instantaneously, while those sea-bottom creatures continue to watch him.
Attempting to probe his limits.
A faint smile curls at the corner of Zhang Yiming’s mouth, his eyes reveal a cold glint.
In that case, let them take a good look!
The aggressive factors buried within his mind are wholly awakened, brainwaves surge stronger along with his emotional waves.
An elusive black aura emanates from his body; despite not acting yet, the black zombie virus within begins to seep out.
Indulge oneself.
This is the body’s first time so unreservedly unleashing the emotions buried within the mind.
Fully accepting oneself as a zombie, succumbing to bloodthirsty impulses in the mind, and the urge to destroy everything.
