151: Zhang Xile's highlight

"So many Infected!"

"These people, without even a single Level 4, lasting this long against so many Infected is a miracle."

Zhang Xile looked at the dense mass of Infected behind him and couldn't help but shiver. He had only seen such a scene in movies.

"It's just over a thousand Infected, nothing significant." Tang Ping patted Zhang Xile's shoulder. "Get ready. With your strength, these Infected are no problem at all."

"Brother Tang, don't fool me. I really feel like I can't do it." Zhang Xile swallowed.

Apparently, Zhang Xile didn't have a clear understanding of his own strength, perhaps because he had retreated into the deep mountains and old forests too early and had almost no contact with the Infected.

His understanding came solely from the World Channel and the internet, most of which focused on how terrifying the Infected were.

This also made Zhang Xile a bit timid when suddenly facing so many Infected.

"Go on. In the future, you'll be leading a Base, or even a Safe Zone. What are these minor issues?"

"No, Brother Tang, you're not going to say you're not coming, are you?" Zhang Xile almost cried.

"I'm leaving this to you. With your strength, dealing with these Infected isn't difficult. Don't worry, I'll help you."

Tang Ping didn't go with Zhang Xile because he had a more dangerous and important task to do.

Destroying the Infected nest!

He absolutely would not allow an Infected nest to hatch in this place, which was both close to the Tianfu Base and the only path to it.

One must know, an Infected nest that started existing this early, once allowed to develop, would become terrifying in the future. A continuous stream of Infected would be born from it, and even more powerful Infected!

Once the nest was established, various powerful mutated Infected would also be bred, posing a huge threat to the Tianfu Base.

The sooner such a thing was dealt with, the better and easier it would be.

Moreover, Tang Ping's goal wasn't just to deal with this nest.

He also wanted to obtain the Infected Mother Queen's embryo!

These ordinary Infected, once they passed their initial stage and fully matured, would spontaneously build a nest.

After the nest was built, they would frantically devour each other inside the nest!

Ultimately, only one Infected would remain. This Infected would then gestate an embryo in its belly, and the Infected itself would become nourishment for this embryo.

This embryo would then attach itself to the core of the nest, like a vascular network connecting the entire nest, eventually breaking out of its shell and growing into a Mother Queen.

Every Mother Queen was an extremely powerful being with a very high growth potential!

Some exceptionally talented ones could even rival Calamity Beasts.

And Tang Ping's goal was to get his hands on the Mother Queen's embryo and use it to make the Heavenly Calamity Moth Gu undergo a transformation!

Even the worst Infected Mother Queen's embryo would be enough for the Heavenly Calamity Moth Gu to complete at least one transformation.

The current Heavenly Calamity Moth Gu was still a bit too weak.

"Great Emperor Moth, I'll lend it to you for now, little Zhang Xile, I have high hopes for you!" Tang Ping patted Zhang Xile's shoulder heavily, "Go for it!"

Then he jumped off the car, moving so fast that he was almost impossible to catch even as a blur.

Zhang Xile's gaze fell on the Great Emperor Moth, and his face immediately relaxed a lot. "Good, good. I really thought Brother Tang was making me do it alone. I knew Brother Tang was the best."

Looking at the majestic Great Emperor Moth flying above his head, Zhang Xile's eyes immediately lit up with excitement. He put his hands on his hips, exuding an imposing aura: "Brother Great Emperor Moth, I'm counting on you!"

The Great Emperor Moth glanced at him, flapped its wings, signaling Zhang Xile to hurry up. After he got on, it still had to go find its master.

Zhang Xile quickly climbed on. He was thrilled to be about to experience flight; he had envied Brother Tang's flying mount for a long time.

The sudden appearance of the Great Emperor Moth, this gigantic Pollution Beast, obviously startled the people in the fleeing convoy.

But soon, they noticed that this Pollution Beast had a master.

Such a powerful Pollution Beast was actually being ridden by someone!

Captain Qi and Diamond Old Wang at the very end of the convoy quickly noticed the anomaly here, but upon seeing that person, Captain Qi was visibly excited.

"Excellent! Someone from the Tianfu Base has arrived!"

Compared to Captain Qi's joy, Diamond Old Wang's gaze was somewhat gloomy, because he actually felt a threat of death from that Great Fluttering Moth!

A mere mount was so powerful. Was this really the Tianfu Base? Had such a powerful Base actually appeared here?

Diamond Old Wang gave a deep look at the moth in the sky, forcefully suppressing the ambition in his heart.

"Captain Qi, what I said to you before, let's just pretend it was never said."

Captain Qi's gaze lingered on Diamond Old Wang for a moment: "Tell your people. We should be able to reach the Tianfu Base today."

"Heavenly Mansion..." Diamond Old Wang murmured.

"What a good name."

In the sky, a regal pressure descended, majestic and imposing. Dozens of Infected directly facing this oppression instantly exploded!

The Great Emperor Moth flapped its wings, and its four blood-red eye patterns emitted an eerie light. Infected who saw the patterns instantly became sluggish. Many Infected chasing from behind, unable to dodge due to the slowing speed of those in front, crashed into them.

Zhang Xile looked down at the chaotic Corpse Tide, marveling even more at the power of Brother Tang's mount. But on the surface, he maintained the demeanor of a master, with his hands behind his back, even adding a dazzling halo effect to himself, so that others looking at him could only see a human-shaped outline.

This was what his grandfather had taught him. His grandfather said he wasn't suited to be a manager, nor did he have the ability to be one, but there was one thing that suited him very well and could raise his prestige.

That was to maintain mystery + act cool + speak little.

Let others fill in the blanks themselves, thereby generating admiration.

Zhang Xile was very good at this; acting cool was his favorite thing.

"You all, retreat."

A cold and aloof voice rang out from the Great Emperor Moth, coupled with the dazzling halo effect, it was truly like a true god.

This immediately intimidated the people of Qishan Base who were fleeing.

"Who, who is this?" A police officer who was blocking the Infected looked up in disbelief.

"I heard this is the expert from the Tianfu Base?"

"Damn it, this is the expert from the Tianfu Base! Did I really experience the apocalypse with them? They must be cheating!"

At Captain Qi's notification, the vehicles in front also slowly stopped.

The people inside the vehicles were obviously very curious about this expert from the Tianfu Base.

"These beasts, I'll take care of them."

Zhang Xile was clearly very capable. Behind him, hundreds of spear-like beams of light densely gathered!

"Go!"
