Chapter 547 - 534: Brutal Battle
Chapter 547 - 534: Brutal Battle
The roar pierced the sky, reaching every corner of the faction.
At first, some commotion occurred in Li Hongyi’s room, followed by terrifying cries for help. Just as many forces gathered for support around the area, four leaders emerged with panicked expressions.
What happened?
The people outside had no idea.
However, it was strange that the four leaders called their confidants, whispered something in their ears, and then their subordinates hurriedly scattered in all directions.
Soon after, the battle erupted.
Those loyal subordinates who kept asking where their leaders and Li Hongyi were had no time for even the most basic preparations, their throats were slashed, and their lives quietly ended within their bodies.
The council of thirteen led by Li Hongyi now had only four survivors, and wanting to win over the masses was simply impossible.
In situations like this, there was only one solution, and that was... kill!
Stabilize half, kill half, the remaining people will naturally accept the new regime.
Although it’s hard to betray former companions, for the sake of their lives, these few must fight desperately.
The first professional to accept Chen Feng’s defection slashed the enemy’s throat with a knife, disregarding the blood splatter on his face, and shouted, "Li Hongyi is dead, the remaining evil-doers are all executed, drop your weapons, those who kneel will not be killed!"
Although the four rebels tried to persuade surrender loudly, it wasn’t like the peaceful times, the other leaders’ subordinates were all desperate individuals, half had been killed unknowingly at first, but soon they realized something was wrong, quickly organized manpower, and launched a gunfight.
In Li Hongyi’s faction, a dozen leaders each had their territory and subordinates. Now, with the leaders missing and under attack, everyone regarded the villa as the conquest zone, they believed that as long as they could break in, things would turn around.
The piercing roars and shouts of killing shook the earth.
Those survivors, now driven to madness, stormed towards the villa, among hundreds of warriors were some professionals, and the hard ground was shattered like tofu, the loud noise instilled panic.
After all, everything happened too suddenly.
Several leaders had just called over some confidants with only one command, and that was to organize manpower and annihilate all unstable personnel!
Why?
No one knew.
In the apocalypse, they all lived by licking blood on the knife’s edge, as long as they followed their boss, that was enough, for the reason, in such a short time, they couldn’t ponder it thoroughly.
"Hold on! Hold on!"
"Don’t retreat! No one is allowed to retreat! Those who retreat will be treated as deserters and executed on the spot!"
"Everyone from the Entrenchment Camp and Wolf Soldiers, hold the line! No matter what, don’t let those people get in!"
On the battlefield, the four rebels saw this scene and burst into roaring, fearing to anger the "God of Death" inside who might take it out on them.
After all, they had made guarantees inside, promising to stabilize the chaos, and if one were easily breached, it would be a blow to their dignity!
No matter what, they cannot retreat!
Unimaginably, a few minutes ago, this faction was peaceful, but now, a full-scale melee erupted, former companions turned against each other, the intensity of the battle escalated rapidly, reaching a showdown level.
A group of people desperately wanted to enter the villa for answers. Suddenly killed, perhaps only their leaders and Li Hongyi could rescue them, under the threat of life, a wild momentum broke out.
One holds.
One attacks.
Neither side gave an inch.
Time slowly passed, yet like sharp ice cones piercing people’s hearts bit by bit.
"Boom!"
A cascading roll of crimson thunderclouds in the sky suddenly unleashed a lightning bolt that sliced through the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield, the deafening thunder expanding like tides to every corner.
"Undead Resurrection!"
Accompanied by the thunder, the Undead Mage appeared on the battlefield, gripping a massive Bone Staff, pointed forward, and the corpses lying limp on the ground began crawling up, like the initial zombies, staggering and rushing towards the crowd!
"Woo woo—"
The tide of corpses echoed with wailing sounds, countless living corpses splashing through muddy water, entwining together, crashing in with a mountain-crushing momentum!
Some corpses had their abdomens brutally cut open, revealing their colorful guts, but at this point, they were already dead, completely oblivious to the pain on their bodies.
"What the hell is going on! Brother Kang, are you in there? What did the brothers do wrong? Why... why treat us like this?"
One of the professionals charged forward aggressively towards the living corpses, manifesting energy. His palms were covered with a layer of visible gaseous energy, faintly resonating with the sound of thunder, and in an instant, he slaughtered several living corpses. However, it didn’t last long before a sudden punch knocked him down.
Taken off guard, the professional couldn’t dodge, and the punch seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds, utterly destroying his chest with just one hit!
"Puchi!"
A crisp sound.
The man fell to the ground lifeless.
The tense atmosphere surged wave after wave, and no matter how desperately humans tried to resist, it was impossible to stop the march of the living corpses. These corpses were not zombies but a kind of Undead rebirth, capable of inheriting fifty percent of their strength from before death in a short time.
Just like the professional who was punched through the chest by the Inferior Demon, one moment he was the main force in the Survival Legion, but after being slain, he staggered and stood up again, his appearance unchanged, only his pupils turned a cloudy white.
"Uuuh..."
The professional, transformed, stepped forward into the crowd, bereft of any signs of life. Even with just fifty percent of his former strength, he still caused chaos.
Moreover, the ground beneath began to shift, and slowly, some Skeleton Warriors crawled up from beneath. The flesh of these corpses had long been weathered away, leaving only bones as proof of their existence. The bones were their weapons. In no time, the once battle-ready Survival Legion was now completely surrounded by the Undead.
"No! Don’t let those skeletons get close, weapons...blast their brains with weapons!"
The leader of the Survival Legion was distraught, his scalp tingling with fear, but the front lines were already overpowering them, and the warriors behind were terrified, even falling to their knees, refusing to move forward.
The enemy was terrifying.
Since the charge began, more than half were already dead, and those remaining felt an intense, stabbing powerlessness deep in their hearts...
This dreadful feeling of impending doom, life hanging by a thread—how long will it last? Must it continue until life itself ends?
What exactly was happening here? And where were the leader and Li Hongyi? These questions no longer mattered. What mattered was they didn’t want to die; they wanted to live.
Previously, someone mentioned that kneeling would save them from death. Someone knelt, then two, followed by many, like a domino effect, until nearly half chose to surrender, kneeling on the ground.
A profound sense of powerlessness drained everyone’s strength, but strangely, once they knelt, neither the living corpses nor Skeleton Warriors raised their weapons again.
"What are you doing? Why kneel? Get up! Obviously, this is a conspiracy against us. Do you want to die..."
A professional, harnessing the Wind Element, hovered mid-air. With Silver Tier power, he appeared to be a master. At this moment, he was rallying the crowd not to be deceived, but before he could finish, a young girl dashed towards him.
The girl seemed only six or seven years old, but her momentum rivaled that of a high-speed, hundred-ton train, and she collided terrifyingly with the Elemental Master’s body!
"Pa-tah!"
In an instant, the man was snapped in half by the collision, his upper body viciously flung skyward, eventually caught by several living corpses, and swallowed into their stomachs. They licked their blood-stained lips, savoring the taste of the delicious flesh...
By this time, the survivors finally woke up. Resistance only led to certain death; they might as well surrender to escape death.
As those standing fell one after another in battle, the number kneeling increased, and after twenty minutes, the slaughter finally came to an end.
The battlefield was filled with the sound of wailing.
When the battle began, some warriors also managed to kill a few living corpses, but who could have imagined that even though their heads were sliced off, the next moment, their bodies suddenly exploded.
This caused nearby individuals to scream and fall, their bodies swelling grotesquely. No skin was left intact, all covered with nauseating corpse toxins, their bodies immediately infected, oozing rank yellow fluids.
The professionals who accepted Chen Feng’s offer were already dumbstruck, witnessing the hellish scene. Their faces displayed expressions of disbelief.
Dust flew, stinging the warriors’ faces slightly...
As the attacking side, they weren’t sure why, but now everyone gazed blankly at the blood-red ground, feeling an indescribable numbness throughout, their hearts aching as if bitten by venomous snakes...painful, sour, and uncomfortable...
Corpses!
Corpses everywhere!
Comrades who had fought side by side for months, having weathered countless storms and pains together. They’ve killed monsters and enemies many times for a common goal.
But just now, they ended their comrades’ lives themselves. Those bodies lay scattered nearby, still warm.
At this moment, not only the dead but even the living were unclear about what had just happened?
