259: Golden Eyed Corpse King
Qin Lu and Chen Xi quickly departed, while Li Feng led the remaining personnel to continue defending the front line.
The street, which had been cleared by Tian Ming, gradually began to see a large number of zombies appearing again.
As dusk approached, Tian Ming set up a hundred-meter-long electric pole, erecting it in the very center of the defense line, then connected two generators to supply power, directly lighting several high-power floodlights.
These lights illuminated the surrounding area brightly, as if afraid the zombies wouldn't know where this place was.
The zombies that arrived this time were no longer low-level zombies; they had devoured a large number of their deceased counterparts, and their movements had become much swifter, roaring as they charged towards the defense line.
"Prepare for battle!" Li Feng commanded, and all combat units stood ready.
The buildings on both sides were densely covered with zombies, like devils surging from hell, their sheer numbers instilling fear.
Tian Ming directly assembled several heavy machine gun turrets, and the ground outside the defense line was simultaneously covered with sharp spikes, all formed within a mere few minutes.
What does it mean for one person to be worth an entire army?
Tian Ming's figure vanished, and he immediately used the buildings on both sides as raw materials to set up numerous obstacles around the defense line.
Li Feng climbed onto a heavy machine gun turret and pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang bang...!"
When the zombie horde began to surge towards the defense line, the scene was like a nightmare from a movie.
The obstacles set by Tian Ming diverted the massive zombie horde.
"Boom boom boom..."
The sound of zombies crashing into the defense line continuously echoed, but the obstacles reinforced by Tian Ming were like an impenetrable fortress, preventing the zombies from passing.
The spikes on the defense line also played a huge role; some zombies accidentally stepped on them, were immediately impaled, and let out shrill screams.
The tongues of fire from the heavy machine guns were like the Grim Reaper's scythe, harvesting the lives of zombies again and again.
Zombies fell one after another under its firepower, but were quickly replaced by those behind them.
Soon, zombie corpses piled up like mountains, obstructing everyone's vision, and blood and flesh flew under the barrage of fire, filling the area with a strong smell of blood.
The pungent smell of blood mixed with the stench emitted by the zombies, forming an indescribable odor that was almost suffocating.
After setting up the defense line, Tian Ming began to produce various types of ammunition, extracting all elements from the buildings on both sides.
Everyone truly witnessed Tian Ming's power as a Full Element Ability; the zombie corpses obscured the distant view, and Tian Ming could even raise the entire defense line to facilitate the barrage of fire.
The previously accumulated samples also played an important role at this time; rockets, grenades, and even laser weapons were rapidly produced by Tian Ming.
These weapons and ammunition were quickly distributed to each combat unit, enhancing their firepower.
Now, no tactics were needed at all; it was simply tower defense, facing an endless horde of zombies.
Tian Ming also quickly became the core of the entire fifty-person team.
A person who can influence the overall situation naturally possesses strong cohesion.
As long as he was present, the zombies could never win.
No matter how many came, they were just delivering themselves to their deaths.
"Instructor, I used to think those Corpse Kings who surpassed Superpower Users were terrifying, but now, I have to change my view," Li Feng said on the public channel.
"What do you mean?" Tian Ming asked.
"If it weren't for the Instructor's presence, I think our defense line would have collapsed long ago."
"Alright, stop flattering me.
If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be standing here foolishly confronting these zombies head-on."
Suddenly, a blue light flashed within the zombie horde.
That was the light of a Red Crystal Core, and a hint of excitement appeared on Li Feng's face.
"Third Squad, go retrieve the Red Crystal Core; other squads, provide fire support."
Upon Li Feng's command, the members of the Third Squad immediately rushed towards the blue light.
The members of the Third Squad quickly retrieved the Red Crystal Core and then rushed back towards the defense line.
At this moment, Qin Lu's voice came through the combat channel.
"Instructor, we're back.
Ah!" A gasp from Qin Lu came through the channel.
Tian Ming frowned, "Li Feng, hold the defense line; I'm going to rescue them."
With that, Tian Ming's figure flashed and disappeared from the defense line.
Tian Ming was like a bolt of lightning, instantly arriving at Qin Lu's location.
A slender man, clad in a long black robe embroidered with intricate golden runes, stood not far away.
His long hair, like a black waterfall, cascaded down to his waist, gently swaying with his movements.
"You've finally arrived!" The man's voice was not loud, but Tian Ming heard it clearly.
Qin Lu and Chen Xi were captured by several Corpse Kings beside the man, unable to move.
The pupils in this man's eyes were golden; he was neither an Ability User nor a human, but a Corpse Emperor evolved to the peak.
He was the highest-level existence in all of Beidu.
"Do you zombies also like to play cosplay?
Who are you cosplaying?" Tian Ming's expression darkened, and his figure instantly vanished, moving incredibly fast, intending to first rescue Qin Lu and Chen Xi, and then deal with this human-like Gold-Eyed Corpse King.
However, the Gold-Eyed Corpse King seemed to have anticipated Tian Ming's movements; his figure flashed, easily dodging Tian Ming's attack.
"Do you think only you have speed?" The Gold-Eyed Corpse King's lips curved slightly, revealing a hint of mockery.
Tian Ming's figure paused, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
He had indeed not expected that this Gold-Eyed Corpse King's speed would be so fast, even surpassing his own.
Moreover, he could also predict his movements.
Tian Ming created distance, looking coldly at the Gold-Eyed Corpse King.
He couldn't act rashly now; otherwise, this Corpse Emperor might very well kill Qin Lu and Chen Xi directly before he could make a move.
The Gold-Eyed Corpse King looked at Tian Ming and slowly began to speak, "Let me introduce myself.
I am the leader of the corpse race in Beidu.
You can also call me Jiang Chen!
The corpse race and humans are of the same origin, Lu Tianming.
I have a proposal; would you be willing to hear it?"
Tian Ming frowned, looking at this self-proclaimed leader of the corpse race, Jiang Chen, with a flash of vigilance in his eyes.
"Are you negotiating with me?" Tian Ming asked coldly; he did not feel any sincerity in negotiation, only seeing the other party's condescending attitude.
Jiang Chen said faintly, his voice carrying a hint of mystery, "My corpse race can feed on all things, but we need humans to replenish our intelligence.
So, how about we join forces to dominate the entire world?
You would govern the human side, making it a sustainable relationship, and I can guarantee that we will never indiscriminately kill the innocent."
Tian Ming scoffed, "Don't you replenish your intelligence by cannibalizing your own kind?
Born as a human, I cannot accept that."
Tian Ming refused without hesitation, and at the same time, he was looking for the Gold-Eyed Corpse King's weakness.
