CHAPTER 19
Thanks to Tang Yu's alertness, they managed to dodge the Zombie King's first attack. However, without any hesitation, the second attack swiftly followed, with the Zombie King's distinct bony claws coming down. Tang Yu blocked with her knife and looked at the formidable and somewhat ferocious face of the Zombie King, revealing its sharp teeth. She quickly got up, still trembling with fear.
The Zombie King relentlessly pursued Tang Yu, agilely leaping on the narrow platform, displaying a level of agility that didn't resemble that of a dead person.
Jin Ye and Xiaoli were also in a precarious situation. They fired several shots, but all missed, and due to the cramped space, they almost injured each other.
After avoiding several waves of attacks, Tang Yu couldn't hold back anymore and shouted, "Didn't you say that becoming berserk would make it weaker? Jin Ye, you lied to me!"
"It's because we're too weak. After the score resets, our bodies return to their initial state. Besides, your body was already in its initial state!" Jin Ye shouted while fighting and retreating.
Realizing she couldn't win the fight, Tang Yu attempted to communicate with the Zombie King, "Big brother, we're not here to kill you. We're here to join you."
The Zombie King showed no response to Tang Yu's words and continued its relentless attacks.
"It's completely impossible to communicate!" Tang Yu yelled, feeling trapped in the confined space. She turned her head and pounced towards the Zombie King.
No more dodging. If you bite me, I'll bite you too!
However, this action made the Zombie King hesitate for a moment.
Huh? Tang Yu paused for a moment, then revealed her teeth and took a step forward with her claws raised.
The Zombie King stopped its attack, and a faint expression of confusion appeared on its rigid face.
Tang Yu looked at Jin Ye, "Could it be? It just realized now that we are zombies?"
"After all, our behavior is too human-like, with not much scent of zombies and still carrying weapons." Jin Ye pondered for a moment and put away her gun.
That's right, zombies don't use weapons. Tang Yu also put away her knife.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of the ceasefire, Xiaoli positioned itself in the shadow behind the gears. Perhaps because it didn't bleed, the Zombie King didn't pay much attention to it.
"Big brother, are you short of subordinates?" Tang Yu approached the Zombie King with courage once the fighting stopped.
The Zombie King grumbled, but its meaning was unclear.
Tang Yu looked troubled, clearly indicating a lack of mutual understanding among the three of them.
"Try using the alliance function from the game." Jin Ye reminded.
Tang Yu opened the game panel without hope and unlocked this skill. She also tried scanning ordinary zombies but didn't receive any prompts to add allies.
Indeed, the information of the Zombie King did not appear on the panel.
At this moment, the Zombie King took a step forward and reached out its palm towards Tang Yu's face.
Tang Yu saw that a yellow substance resembling mycelium was growing on the Zombie King's hand. She couldn't tell if it was a plant or something else, but it was continuously writhing and spreading.
As the Zombie King extended its hand forward, these mycelium-like strands suddenly swelled and reached out towards Tang Yu.
This was the Zombie King's alliance invitation.
In an instant, the three of them present there realized that the reason this Zombie King could control the zombies in Y City was because of these mycelium-like things. They automatically sought out zombie hosts.
The underground of Y City might have already been filled with these eerie mycelium, but Tang Yu and Jin Ye, with their special constitutions, hadn't been targeted.
Seeing these lifelike mycelium about to enter her mouth, Tang Yu unconsciously took a step back, feeling a bit nauseous.
This is impossible. As subordinates, they want us to eat these things? Tang Yu instinctively covered her mouth. She guessed that if she ingested this substance, it would still be alive and parasitize her body wherever it pleased.
The Zombie King was angered by Tang Yu covering her mouth. It suddenly reached out its hand again, indicating that if Tang Yu didn't comply, it would resort to force.
No, it seems this big brother is a bit dictatorial, he's not a good leader.
Tang Yu covered her mouth and took another step back, her back against the wall. Jin Ye prepared to draw her gun but was fiercely stared at by the Zombie King.
The situation reached a deadlock, but at this moment, the game panel issued a prompt.
Tang Yu opened the panel and glanced at it. A new message popped up.
"Trigger special mission: Join the C-rank Zombie King faction."
Jin Ye also received the prompt and couldn't help but whisper.
"What's wrong?" Tang Yu asked.
"Special missions are missions that can grant special abilities."
