Wen Qingling led two tall and sturdy large zombies downstairs. Among the vehicles downstairs, he effortlessly chose a military vehicle.

The encounter in the Sixth District informed Wen Qingling that the military vehicles in Central Mega City had district markings. They must have done something with the license plates; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to recognize their own district’s military vehicles at a glance.

Wen Qingling drove the car while the two 2-meter-tall large zombies ran behind on the ground. Their plump bellies were almost catching up to the “Butcher.” It was a good opportunity to teach them the importance of losing weight.

In order for the two zombies to keep up, Wen Qingling had to slow down the speed of the car.

Wen Qingling contacted Lu Tianjin and asked, “What’s the situation?”

Lu Tianjin was implementing the tracking method when he suddenly heard Wen Qingling’s voice, nearly causing him to overturn the car on the spot.

“They… they haven’t stopped,” Lu Tianjin replied.

Wen Qingling asked, “Where are they going?”

Lu Tianjin said, “I’m not sure, but they’re heading east.”

Wen Qingling said, “East? Are they going to Yunjing City to end themselves?”

Lu Tianjin remained silent.

Although they didn’t know why they were heading east, it definitely wouldn’t be to end themselves.

Wen Qingling shouted outside the car, “Speed up, hurry, don’t delay!”

Lu Tianjin said, “???” Quietly increasing the speed, he hurried to avoid any delay.

Inside Frost Peak City, the three-sided melee continued.

The white flesh mountain stood on one side, the horde of zombies on another, and the Third District’s army on the remaining side. There was only one white flesh mountain, but its vitality was extremely tenacious. Despite its tattered appearance, it remained sturdy, spraying venom without hesitation and devouring its prey at a fast pace.

On the other hand, both the horde of zombies and the human army suffered heavy casualties, with the army experiencing the greatest losses.

They had numbers, weapons, and intellect, but the one thing they lacked was antibodies. In front of the white flesh mountain and the horde of zombies, they were all vulnerable. As long as their skin was scratched, they would be infected. Close combat with the zombies and creatures was highly disadvantageous for the army.

They were well aware of this fact but found it difficult to create distance. They originally intended to hunt down the white flesh mountain, but unexpectedly encountered the horde of zombies on the way. The speed of the horde far surpassed that of the white flesh mountain, and under the impact, the army was completely surrounded. Even though they had energy guns and energy cannon, they didn’t dare to use them. If they fired one shot from the energy guns, it would undoubtedly harm their own people. They could only engage in close combat.

Inside the command vehicle, Luo Shuang, the overall commander of urban sanitation, turned pale. His hand holding the loudspeaker trembled. He had never anticipated such a situation. They weren’t afraid of the zombie horde but were more afraid of these creatures. Their numbers and speed were terrifying, and their infectiousness made one’s scalp tingle. If their entire army was trapped here, it would be a deadly blow to the Third District.

Luo Shuang held onto the loudspeaker, roaring loudly, “First and Second Squads, hold the line! Everyone else, retreat! Retreat!”

Luo Shuang’s eyes were bloodshot. He knew that with this order, he was essentially abandoning the First and Second Squads. Once they fell behind, there would be no way for them to leave alive.

With the efforts of the soldiers, the command vehicle finally broke through the encirclement and began to retreat. The soldiers of the First and Second Squads formed a defensive line and sniped the pursuing zombie horde. They might not be able to hold back the white flesh mountain, but they were determined to block the horde at all costs.The soldiers who had initially retreated turned back when they saw the members of the First and Second Squads falling one after another. They shouted something and bravely charged into the midst of the two squads, fighting alongside the zombie horde.

Without exception, these people were all injured. They knew that even if they managed to leave here alive, they couldn’t survive. They had been infected, and rather than waiting for the transformation into zombies due to the infection, they would rather die in battle here and let their uninjured comrades leave alive.

Luo Shuang clenched his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and hoarsely shouted, “Retreat! Retreat!”

The command vehicle had just left the battlefield when several off-road vehicles recklessly rushed out. The command vehicle managed to evade the first one, but it couldn’t avoid the second. Afterward, several more off-road vehicles collided with it, completely blocking the command vehicle’s path. They couldn’t even move an inch.

The retreating military vehicles quickly stopped, and the soldiers rushed down, shouting for the off-road vehicles to move back.

People jumped out of the off-road vehicles, their faces covered in dirt, bloodstained, and continuously pleading for help. They clung to the military vehicle and refused to let go, even abandoning their own off-road vehicles.

The soldiers raised their energy cannons, ordering them to let go and move back, while the survivors shouted desperately. The scene was extremely chaotic.

The bulletproof glass of the command vehicle was lowered, and Old Xue shouted, “What’s going on?!”

The survivor, whose face was covered in blood, shouted in panic, “Corpse beast! An evolved corpse beast is chasing us! Help! Save us! We are the surviving squad from the Third District! We are from the Third District!”

General Xiao’s expression changed, “Prepare for battle!”

Before the words could even fade, a deep tiger roar sounded, and everyone watched as a 3-meter-tall giant tiger charged toward them!

They had never seen such a massive corpse beast before. This evolved corpse tiger had minimal signs of decay, with a muscular body and blood-red eyes. With a swipe of its claws, it sent an off-road vehicle flying and roared as it crashed into the command vehicle!

Xiao Hen quickly drove the military vehicle like an airplane. Intense palpitations made his body tremble, and the vehicle shook violently. Several times it almost flipped off the road, but Xiao Hen managed to stabilize it forcefully.

Xiao Hen knew that his father must be in trouble.

Because of his mother’s incident, he had never been able to forgive him. But no matter how much he resented and hated him, he didn’t want to see him die.

After all, he was still his father!

Old Xue, covered in blood, struggled to drag Xiao Jiang out of the command vehicle. The sounds of gunfire filled the air as the soldiers covered their retreat. The evolved corpse tiger rampaged through the area, killing mercilessly.

Xiao Jiang’s leg was broken and he couldn’t walk. Old Xue carried him on his back.

Luo Shuang’s body had countless broken bones. Soldiers carried him as they ran, with survivors following behind. The evolved corpse tiger kept chasing them. The soldiers abandoned their vehicles and stood guard around the three generals. The armored vehicles carrying energy cannons constantly adjusted their aim, but they didn’t dare to fire. The evolved corpse tiger was too close to the generals!

The soldiers, both superhumans and ordinary soldiers, constantly obstructed the evolved corpse tiger’s path, buying time. It was not a mindless brute but a creature with high speed, agility, and swift movements. With a single swipe of its claws, it sent everything flying.

Old Xue was knocked down by a flying person, but he got up and went to drag Xiao Jiang. Xiao Jiang grabbed his hand and spoke rapidly, “Xue Feng, I entrust the Third District to you. Lead the soldiers to retreat!”

Old Xue tried to carry Xiao Jiang on his back, saying, “This is not the time to talk about that! Let’s survive and talk later!”

Xiao Jiang pushed Old Xue away and didn’t let the surrounding soldiers help, “You won’t be able to escape with me. Go quickly!”

Old Xue refused to leave and tried to drag him again.

Xiao Jiang angrily said, “This is an order! Go quickly!”Obeying orders is a soldier’s duty, but Old Xue couldn’t do it. He shouted with anger, “Special circumstances require special treatment. I refuse to obey! ”

“Xue Feng!”

“General!” Old Xue shouted back, “If you die here, how can I explain it to Xiao Hen?!”

Xiao Jiang said, “No need to explain! My life and death have nothing to do with him! Obey the order!”

Old Xue couldn’t shout back as he was already thrown out.

“Old Xue!!!” Xiao Jiang watched helplessly as Old Xue rolled on the ground, covered in blood, one shoulder already gone.

Xiao Jiang shouted, “Medic! Where’s the medic?!”

Two soldiers dragged Xiao Jiang away in a hurry, “General! The medic is trapped in the swarm of corpse beasts!”

One soldier fell, and another soldier came to drag him away. Xiao Jiang shook them off and stood up unsteadily, dragging his broken leg as he walked towards Old Xue. The excruciating pain made his face turn pale, and cold sweat poured down, “Old Xue! Hold on!”

Old Xue coughed up blood, still conscious but unable to move lying on the ground, “Now… we can’t escape… If… if Xiao Hen… that brat is still here… he can definitely… cough, cough…”

Xiao Jiang’s face turned ice-cold, and he suddenly gave an order, “Everyone retreat immediately! Return to the city! Send someone to Ling City to find Xiao Hen and inform him of our deaths! If he’s willing to come back, let him inherit the Third District! If he’s unwilling to come back, you can choose whether or not to go to Ling City and seek refuge with him!”

As long as there were no more unnecessary sacrifices, it didn’t matter if the Third District was lost. He only hoped for peace in the world, no more deaths.

“General!”

Every soldier who heard this command had tears in their eyes.

Xiao Jiang shouted, “Retreat immediately!”

A survivor screamed and rushed towards Xiao Jiang and Old Xue, followed closely by the evolved corpse tiger.

Xiao Jiang’s gaze turned cold, “Open fire!”

At this point, if he couldn’t see the problem, he would be too foolish.

The soldiers guarding him knocked down the survivor who pounced at them but couldn’t stop the approaching evolved corpse tiger. Its jaws opened wide, emitting a putrid smell, and the soldiers, knowing they were facing certain death, still fought back without giving up.

Just as the evolved corpse tiger was about to devour the guarding soldiers, a person suddenly appeared on top of its head as if hit by a meteor, crashing heavily onto the ground.

With a loud “boom,” the earth shook, and the guarding soldiers were pushed back several steps by the sudden impact, all stunned as they looked ahead. On top of the evolved corpse tiger’s head stood a person!

That person wore camouflage clothing, with a hat and a mask. A familiar long knife appeared in their hand, fiercely stabbing at the evolved corpse tiger’s head, only to be swung away by the beast’s head!

Xiao Hen leaped high in the air. In one moment, he was in mid-air, and the next, he was already by the side of the evolved corpse tiger, thrusting his knife into its abdomen. The evolved corpse tiger roared, Xiao Hen pulled out his knife, and he disappeared again, only to reappear beneath the beast’s neck the next moment, slicing across it. Black blood sprayed out wildly, and the massive tiger paw was already swatting toward Xiao Hen. Xiao Hen’s long knife got stuck in the evolved corpse tiger’s neck, unable to disappear immediately, and he took a solid blow, being sent flying.

A father knows his son, even if Xiao Hen had covered himself tightly, just a single figure was enough for Xiao Jiang to recognize that it was Xiao Hen who had returned.

Old Xue also recognized Xiao Hen, seeing him being swatted away by a paw, and he almost jumped up from the ground.

Frost formed on Xiao Jiang’s face, his eyes fixed firmly on Xiao Hen, who had fallen to the ground, his hand embedded deep in the mud.

Before Xiao Hen could get up, the evolved corpse tiger pounced toward him again. Xiao Hen disappeared from his original position, only to reappear in mid-air, rotating and slashing at the evolved corpse tiger’s neck.

The evolved corpse tiger suddenly stood upright, biting down on one of Xiao Hen’s legs, dragging him, and smashing him into the ground!
