Chapter 124: A Man Fiercer Than Zombies!

Vilo nodded, then once again stood ready with Chen Yi to face the zombies.

At this moment, the horde of zombies, with blood-red eyes and marching in unison, roared forward, their gazes filled more with resentment and fury.

Vilo had never seen such a sight before. He instinctively took a step back, but Chen Yi placed a firm hand on his shoulder.

"The more you show fear like this, the more the zombies will target you. Instead of that, you should redirect their attention to me."

These words left Vilo dumbfounded. "Chen Yi, I know you're incredibly strong, but drawing all their focus onto yourself is just too terrifying."

"What of it?"

Chen Yi remained calm. "No matter what happens, I have a way to deal with it. But for you, this is probably too difficult, which is why you're in this state. Take my advice and let go of the burden in your heart."

Just then, the zombie horde charged at them. Without another word, Chen Yi stepped forward, transforming his dual blades into a giant, single-edged Doomsday blade, instantly forcing the zombies back in defeat.

"Chen Yi!"

At that moment, a pale-faced zombie appeared.

There were no obvious scars on his body, only a deep gloom in his eyes.

"You truly disgust me! Do you have any idea? Only we, the zombies, can truly understand the minds of those filled with resentment and indignation!"

Chen Yi found the zombie's aggressive posturing amusing and gave a playful smile.

"So, you plan to dump all the blame on me and play the innocent victim?"

The Zombie King knew Chen Yi would be dismissive, but at a time like this, he couldn't just stand by and watch Chen Yi take control of the situation.

To this end, the Zombie King deliberately tried to provoke Chen Yi's anger, a dark smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

"Chen Yi, don't be so arrogant and overbearing. We zombies are no longer what we used to be!"

Seeing how proud this zombie was, Chen Yi felt a slight doubt stir in his mind.

Although the zombies currently had a higher chance of victory, the next time the Calamity Dial appeared, it might still yield a powerful ability.

Chen Yi suddenly remembered that the red markings on his body had not yet taken effect. Instantly re-energized, he walked forward with a cold sneer.

The Zombie King's smile faded.

Looking Chen Yi up and down, he saw no sign of backing down; instead, he only saw Chen Yi's cold and indifferent demeanor.

*Strange, was the zombie race really so insignificant in his eyes?*

While he was lost in thought, Chu Yunxi was surprised to see the precision zombie detection device she had designed emitting a green light.

Taking a closer look, Chu Yunxi gasped in shock.

The zombie's pride was not without reason; his combat power exceeded three hundred thousand, and his intelligence was seven times that of an ordinary human.

In other words, whatever Chen Yi was perceiving now, this zombie actually understood it even more clearly.

It was truly unbelievable.

Even if zombies were living organisms, such a massive disparity between them and humans was hard for Chu Yunxi to accept. Was humanity truly destined to be destroyed by these heartless monsters?

Chu Yunxi did not understand, but she knew in her heart that once certain things began, there was no turning back.

"Don't be afraid," Chen Yi said, taking her hand. "It's just a minor issue. It's no big deal. If he is strong, I will simply be stronger."

Hearing this, a faint smile finally appeared on Chu Yunxi's face. "Alright, I'll trust you."

The zombie could not comprehend their emotions and assumed they were mocking him. Infuriated, he flew into a rage.

"Chen Yi, since you love to play dumb so much, let me tell you this: our army is growing at a speed you can't even perceive. Trying to fight us is nothing short of suicide."

Chen Yi nodded at him. "If that's the case, then make your move. Don't hold back!"

"What?"

Hearing this, the Zombie King was momentarily stunned.

Chen Yi truly did not seem to care at all. Had he overthought things?

Just then, a Sicilian man beside them swiftly swung his longsword, slashing directly at the zombie in front of him.

*Clang!*

The longsword was knocked away, and the Zombie King spoke triumphantly.

"How is it? With these childish tricks of yours, you stand no chance of killing me. You'd better surrender now!"

Although the situation seemed entirely in the Zombie King's favor, Chen Yi had already seized the initiative. Having observed the attack angles beforehand, he delivered a devastating blow directly to the enemies.

Only then did the Zombie King realize that Chen Yi was no ordinary foe. Even if he held the upper hand at the moment, as long as Chen Yi refused to back down, it was far from over.

"Boss, look at his reaction, it's so weird!"

Standing beside Chen Yi, Vilo couldn't help but laugh. After all, at a time like this, even if the enemy begged for mercy, Chen Yi would show absolutely no leniency.

Chen Yi waved his hand. "There's nothing to say. They brought this on themselves."

"I know," Vilo agreed, nodding seriously. "What do we do now?"

In response to Vilo's question, Chen Yi merely smiled. "Now that their tactical advantage has been dismantled, we can eliminate them whenever and wherever we want. Don't worry, they won't be running around for much longer."

"True." Nodding again, Vilo felt a wave of relief wash over him.

Meanwhile, Chu Yunxi, who had been observing the whole time, finally sighed in relief after confirming that Chen Yi didn't need any extra help. Fortunately, her husband had handled the situation; otherwise, she really wouldn't have known what to do.

Chen Yaxi smiled at this.

"Sis, it looks like your heart is completely wrapped up in my brother all the time!"

"You silly girl, stop talking nonsense!"

Chu Yunxi cast a mock-scolding glance at Chen Yaxi, her heart fluttering.

"I just feel like your brother only ever thinks about fighting and doesn't know how to take care of himself, that's why..."

"Exactly!" Chen Yaxi nodded, then continued. "That's why I think you need to take action, Sis. Don't worry, I'll definitely be on your side!"

*Rumble!*

The warship jolted violently. Immediately after, a massive flying shark appeared before Chen Yi, Chu Yunxi, and the others.

Blood dripped from the shark's jaws, a clear sign of a recent bloody slaughter.

Even though Chen Yaxi was accustomed to life-and-death situations, she still showed her childish side at this moment.

"Sis!"

"Don't be afraid!" Chu Yunxi grabbed a shotgun beside her, pumped it, and aimed it straight at the flying shark. Her eyes were filled with determination. "I will protect you!"
