Chapter 196 A 10,000-level zombie horde descends, Lu Sheng: Deserters, die!
"roar----!!!"
A piercingly sharp shriek, like the scraping sound of the gates of hell being opened, instantly tore apart the already tense air of Mount Gongga.
Everyone on the north slope defense line, whether they were battle-hardened mercenaries or regular soldiers, instinctively covered their ears and looked pained.
Then, they witnessed the most despairing scene of their lives.
The ten-meter-tall zombie king, hovering in mid-air with bone wings on its back, was merely a prelude.
With its piercing shriek, the once still darkness at the horizon suddenly began to undulate in a chilling way.
That wasn't night.
That was a tide of floating corpses.
An endless, black tsunami of floating corpses!
What does a quantity in the tens of millions mean?
That is, when you look around, all you see are throngs of heads and rotting limbs, nothing else!
"vomit……"
A strong, tangible stench of corpses wafted in with the cold wind. In the trenches at the front, several new recruits with weaker mental fortitude turned pale on the spot, leaning against the wall and vomiting violently. Their legs were as weak as noodles, and they couldn't stand up straight at all.
"This is...too much..."
Liu Deshui stood on the command platform, and the binoculars in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".
His entire body was trembling uncontrollably, and his usually shrewd, fat face was now deathly pale.
General Poseidon took a deep breath, pushed open the door to the command room, and strode to the loudspeaker.
His voice was old and steady, but the content was so cruel it was suffocating.
"Latest report from the reconnaissance battalion."
"The number of low-level floating corpses exceeds twelve million."
"Approximately 800,000 elite-level floating corpses of level 4 or above."
"Three thousand drownings of level 7."
"More than two hundred people drowned at level 8."
The old general paused, his gaze sweeping over the trembling crowd beneath those astronomical figures, before unleashing his final, devastating blow:
"And... a level 9 half-step Drowned One, and that... a level 9 peak Abyss Corpse King!"
Dead silence.
The entire northern slope defense line fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone's brains went blank at that moment.
Two hundred level 8s?
You should know that, all things considered, including Lu Sheng's group, there are only a handful of level 8 experts on the human side!
How do we fight this battle?
Are you going to hit me with your head?
"It's over...it's all over..."
The patriarch of a small family affiliated with the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance slumped to the ground, his eyes vacant, muttering to himself, "This is the end of the world... We will all die here..."
Fear is like a plague, spreading wildly among people.
Zhang Daoxuan gripped the railing tightly, his knuckles turning white, his cloudy old eyes filled with horror.
The longsword in Ye Hongyu's hand trembled slightly, revealing the extreme unease in its owner's heart.
Faced with overwhelming quantity and quality, the so-called grandmaster's demeanor appears so pale and powerless.
"This is impossible to fight!!!"
Suddenly, a desperate scream shattered the silence.
A former leader of the God-Slaying Mercenary Group suddenly threw down his heavy machine gun and turned to run wildly toward the snow line behind the mountain.
"I quit! This is suicide! As long as we're alive, we can always fight again! Run!!"
His actions were like toppling the first domino.
The already crumbling morale of the troops collapsed instantly.
"You're right, I don't want to die yet, everyone run!!"
Hundreds of weak-willed god-killing mercenaries abandoned their weapons and armor, instantly creating a large gap in the defensive line. The riot was on the verge of escalating into an uncontrollable bombing.
"run?"
A cold voice, without a loudspeaker, eerily pierced through all the noise and clearly penetrated everyone's eardrums.
Lu Sheng made a move.
He only took one step.
"boom!"
An air explosion.
The next second, his figure appeared out of thin air in front of the deserter leader.
Lu Sheng did not make a move.
He simply lowered his head slightly, his dark golden vertical pupils coldly sweeping over the other person.
"Giggle..."
The leader, who possessed level 6 strength, suddenly froze, like a stone statue being stared at by Medusa, remaining in a running posture but unable to move even a single finger.
That is absolute suppression originating from the level of life itself!
Lu Sheng slowly turned around, facing the tens of thousands of restless soldiers, his tone as cold as a knife.
"Sea levels are still rising; the whole world is full of monsters."
"The sea is everywhere, in all directions, and underwater there are sea monsters that prey on people."
"Tell me, where can you escape to?"
"Should I spend my whole life hiding in the gutter, trembling with fear? Or wait to be herded and eaten one by one by those sea monsters?"
The commotion in the crowd subsided slightly, but the fear in their eyes remained intense.
Lu Sheng suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the women, children, and infants in the camp behind him who were peering out of the windows in fear.
"Open your dog eyes and look behind you!!"
Lu Sheng's roar was like a thunderclap:
"There are hundreds of thousands of unarmed people there! Your parents! Your wives and children!!"
"They are the last spark of humanity!"
"If we run away, who will defend this line? Are you just going to let your children reunite inside the monster's belly?!"
These words were like a thunderbolt, striking everyone hard on the head.
Many soldiers who had just wanted to run away lowered their heads in shame as they looked at the terrified eyes in the distance, their hands gripping their guns with bulging veins.
Yes.
If they run away, humanity's last home will be gone.
Seeing that his emotions had been stirred up, Lu Sheng's eyes instantly turned sharp, and a monstrous killing intent suddenly erupted.
"Those who want to leave, I can let them go now."
Lu Sheng's voice lowered, carrying a chilling, bloody tone.
"But let me make this clear from the start."
"Once war breaks out, who dares to expose their back to the enemy, who dares to desert and undermine morale...?"
"Buzz—!"
A dark golden spear materialized out of thin air and slammed heavily onto the ground.
"boom!!"
Centered on the tip of the spear, a ring of tangible golden ripples instantly spread out, shattering the rubble within a radius of a hundred meters into powder!
"I, Lu Sheng, will be the first to send him on his way!"
"My gun doesn't discriminate!!"
The entire army was deathly silent.
Under the overwhelming and domineering dragon's might, even the sound of the wind seemed to stop.
Even powerful figures like Zhang Daoxuan and Ye Hongyu felt an irresistible sense of submission upon seeing that figure's back.
This is the aura of a king.
Seeing that the time was right, the old general of the sea god stepped forward at the opportune moment.
He cleared his throat and said in an extremely confident tone:
"Don't despair. The data may be alarming, but it's the total number."
"There are dozens of high-altitude mountain ranges around, which will divert the zombie horde. According to our calculations, the number that will actually attack the Gongga Mountain defense line is about 1.5 million!"
