Xue Feng was reminded of the cross by Zhang Xiao Qiang. Their pursuers were still closing in, if he could obtain the cross, he might be able to revert back to his zombie form. At that time, those Z-Types that had rebelled would be wiped out with a single thought. She could not help but be swayed by Zhang Xiao Qiang, and the first thing she wanted was the cross.
"I want your life. Eight thousand evolvers died in front of me, and I left an infantry company in the building. It was all because of you. How generous of you!
Let me tell you, I have never suffered such a big loss before. Do you think I will let you go so easily? "
After saying that, Zhang Xiao Qiang pulled out his firebird machete and prepared to kill the last zombie, but then he heard a scream:
"No, I don't want that thing anymore. If I get that thing, I'll lose my sight, my emotions, and the intelligence that I've worked so hard to obtain. I'll only be able to act according to my primal instincts. I'll no longer be me.
Xue Feng suddenly realized that it was not normal for the original body to gain intelligence. Xue Feng had found the benefit of having a sense of self after leaving his original body. If he did not have a sense of self, he would not be able to feel his current existence. What was the point of becoming the original body?
Could it be that he was like the Z-Types that craved for flesh and blood every day?
"What do you mean?
Are you messing with me? "
Zhang Xiaoqiang put down his machete, and his tone became more and more impolite. Xue Feng was surprised, and after a while, he explained:
"I didn't want a cross in the beginning. I just wanted an evolved person. My body was destroyed by you. Without an evolved person as a vessel, I can't protect myself, and I can't maintain my human form …"
Xue Feng had no gender, and he did not have any ambitions. The only thing that kept him strong was survival. Survival was a biological instinct, and that was why Xue Feng was so humble.
"It's still impossible. Do you think I would leave a powerful enemy for myself?
Idiot … "
Zhang Xiao Qiang cursed and charged towards the zombie. While it was still in a daze, Zhang Xiao Qiang chopped off both of its legs. Just as it was about to fall, Zhang Xiao Qiang sliced off both of its arms. The zombie struggled on the ground, letting out a high-pitched howl, as though it was cursing something. Zhang Xiao Qiang didn't care about all that, and gestured to the soldiers beside him, "Come and tie it up. When the time comes, send it to Wuhan …."
In Zhang Xiao Qiang's faction, there were a lot of people who could capture D2 zombies, but the number of people who could capture D3 zombies were few and far between. As valuable research materials, Zhang Xiao Qiang would not turn his back on the good stuff that was delivered to his doorstep. Hearing Zhang Xiao Qiang's order, a group of soldiers with ropes and nets rushed forward to surround the zombies. There were also some soldiers who picked up the corpses of the zombies and threw them into the oil barrels, preparing to collect the liquid after they completely decomposed.
"Ah! You can't do this! You can't do this! I don't want to be your enemy! Everything I did was controlled by me! I have never hurt you …"
The zombie that had lost all four limbs was rolling around in the net, its huge head trying its best to push against the net. There were more than 10 ropes tying it up like a rice dumpling. The blood phoenix was making a final struggle, causing the soldiers surrounding it to roll to the ground. Even without limbs, the explosive force was not something an ordinary person could withstand. Zhang Xiao Qiang turned a deaf ear to the screams and stared at the city in the distance. Even though he was so far away from the city, he could still smell the faint stench of blood. It could be seen how cruel the massacre was. His mind turned and he thought that if it wasn't for the blood phoenix drawing some of the attention for him, the 180,000 survivors might have already been surrounded by the Mutant Beasts. For a moment, he was at a loss. The Mutant Beasts in the city were a small matter. The Red Algae behind the Mutant Beasts was the main issue. The Kraya and the Yamasa were obviously connected. If he wanted to destroy the Yamasa, he would have to make an enemy out of the Kraya.
"I can help you, I can help you, as long as you give me an evolver, as long as you give me one …"
The blood phoenix seemed to be making its last effort. Most people heard it as an indistinct roar, but Zhang Xiaoqiang could hear it clearly. He had not planned to pay attention to this guy, but when he heard the word "evolver", Zhang Xiaoqiang remembered that there were new evolvers in Shanghai every day, and that the new evolvers were related to the blood phoenix. This meant that the blood phoenix had a set of procedures that could continuously induce ordinary people to evolve. But since it had this kind of method, why would the blood phoenix come to him?
"Wait …"
Zhang Xiao Qiang raised his hand to stop the soldiers that were swarming forward. He walked step by step to the front of the zombie, staring through the mesh at the guy that was yelling with its mouth open. The zombie's thick nostrils were constantly taking in deep breaths. Feeling Zhang Xiao Qiang's approach, it couldn't help but raise its head, letting Zhang Xiao Qiang see the mottled scales on its face. The zombie did not move, allowing the net to wrap around itself, quietly waiting for Zhang Xiao Qiang to speak.
"What's the deal with evolvers?
Aren't you able to create evolvers? "
Squatting beside the rope, Zhang Xiao Qiang used his machete to poke the armor on the zombie's face. He pecked and pecked, poking the skin on the zombie's face. The zombie endured the pain and wailed hoarsely, "The evolvers in the city are my food. Ordinary people's blood is useless to me. Only evolvers can help me evolve. Ever since I awakened my intelligence, I've been preparing for the evolution. I originally planned to collect the blood of 100,000 evolvers to complete the evolution …"
This time, Xue Feng told them the cause of the incident in Shanghai. Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They stared at the zombies on the ground as if they were accumulating boundless anger. Humans were the wisest of all creatures. Even after the apocalypse, they still believed that one day, humans would become the masters of the earth again. However, when they heard that the zombies had manipulated the lives of 100,000 people in order to evolve, they all felt that they had a common enemy.
"The blood phoenix can create a kind of gas, and when this gas spreads among humans, it will … In order to create this gas, we need the flesh and blood of 20 evolvers as energy. The blood phoenix is responsible for supplying evolvers to me …"
The zombie was still howling, and Zhang Xiaoqiang was speechless as he looked at the ugly zombie. What the blood phoenix said only confirmed his guess. No matter what, the apocalypse did not befall the survivors. After the blood phoenix explained the plan, she began to complain, "In fact, there is no hatred between us. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the chance to leave my body. Even if I ran to the ends of the earth, I would still be a clone. After occupying the body of the blood phoenix, I have my own thoughts. I am the blood phoenix, and the blood phoenix is me. All the problems are my problems. I just want to live in peace. If you don't believe me, I can use something as collateral.
Do you want the Chosen One?
I can give you 100, 200, or even 500 of the ones you just killed, as long as you want them.
Do you want resources?
I know a place that's a warehouse. There are countless copper ingots in there. You can make more bullets. I can give you everything you want, as long as you give me an Evolved. I only want one … "
Xue Feng had already reached the point of begging, and Zhang Xiao Qiang was speechless as he looked at the wailing zombies. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen one as shameless as this, begging the enemy in such a subservient manner. Xue Feng continued to plead pitifully, but Zhang Xiao Qiang's mind was filled with the fear and despair of the millions of zombies. He suddenly opened his mouth, "What if I ask you to kill your own kind?"
The blood phoenix was dazed and said hesitantly:
"I can't kill my subordinates. They are my capital to survive. Do you still want to kill me?
If the Chosen One is dead, you can easily find me and kill me … "
Zhang Xiaoqiang was amused by the blood phoenix's vigilance. It was rare for the blood phoenix to be so clear-headed. Zhang Xiaoqiang wondered what the blood phoenix's expression would be like if he asked it to help him kill the zombies.
"I will not touch your subordinates. You are now at the end of your rope. There are mutated beasts in front of you, and there will be endless mutated beasts that will devour you one day. Behind you, your own kind is closing in. Within three days, you will have to fight on two fronts. Even if you are possessed by an evolver, what can you do to protect your own life?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang's words were like a heavy hammer hitting the blood phoenix's head. The blood phoenix had been trying to find a way to leave the city, but where could he go?
"Evolver, I only want evolvers. Give me evolvers, and I will give you something good. Now …"
Xue Feng's anxiety had gotten to her head, and she had paid without even receiving the goods. Not to mention the delivery, she didn't even ask about the quality of the goods.
