Chapter 1991: Chapter 1991
Although the people in the hall have yet to fully react, Tang Ye’s orders have never been disobeyed. The four brothers exchanged glances and quickly followed him out. Walking at the back, Hu Ji began notifying other Level 8 New Human powerhouses who worked under Su Sigui but actually belonged to the Royal Court.
Xu Haishui, who lingered at the end, hesitated for a moment before finally heading out as well.
Among the four brothers exiting the villa, Chu Zha promptly followed behind Tang Ye and asked, "Boss, what’s going on?"
Yet, Tang Ye didn’t respond at all. His mind was flooded with memories of meeting Chen Bieli; it turned out... they’d met long ago.
He turned his head to gaze at the towering siphon tower perched on the "Sky Continent." The round tower had already entered its operational mode, with its metallic tendrils spreading out like an open umbrella, curving skyward. The topmost red light flickered, becoming the backdrop most difficult to ignore by those frantically fleeing.
The land ravaged by nuclear explosions was scarred, and many geographical features of Cloud Gorge Base were utterly changed after countless great battles!
Large patches of earth jutted skyward, and the remaining buildings on the surface appeared so absurd.
Seeing Tang Ye give no answer, Chu Zha abandoned further inquiry. He turned back, exchanged glances with Hu Ji, and finally nodded, entering a state of readiness, poised for battle!
Tang Ye remained silent the entire time, moving faster and faster until he leaped off the "Sky Continent," landing heavily on the ground. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, fixed on the area with the darkest "color"!
Panicked and hurried people, broken buildings, a somber and reddish sky, and the unusual black corpse types emerging from underground—everything painted this apocalyptic scene!
When Tang Ye landed on the ground, the commotion instantly attracted the attention of surrounding people and the black zombies. The roar of corpses echoed in his ears, sharp and unpleasant, causing irritation!
A strong scent of blood lingered around the nostrils.
"Get out of the way!"
A black zombie had just blocked Tang Ye’s path but was torn to shreds in an instant, its mangled body crashing into the nearby ruins like a dead dog. This scene made the other black zombies hesitate for a moment, their animosity towards Tang Ye overwhelming all at once, only to disappear in the next second!
They refused to provoke Tang Ye; while growling, they also cautiously watched him, retreating bit by bit towards the southeast’s defensive zombie wall, turning to speed up only when certain Tang Ye wouldn’t follow!
Of course, everything happening around Tang Ye also attracted the attention of Cloud Gorge Base’s armed forces. Countless eyes were fixed on him.
Watching his aggressive demeanor and the direction he’s heading, a sinking feeling filled their hearts, inevitably leading them to think of a very ominous possibility!
Fighter jets circling overhead received orders simultaneously, temporarily altering their mission objectives—abandoning the incessantly appearing black zombie swarm allowed in Cloud Gorge Base, they aimed quickly at Tang Ye, more and more soldiers receiving orders to begin setting up along Tang Ye’s path. Tang Ye saw it all, perhaps thinking of something as his face grew somber, but he still said nothing.
As time passed, unnoticed, a large group of soldiers had already gathered on the road ahead, holding laser weapons, aimed fearlessly at Tang Ye!
The air was filled with murderous intent. At the very front of the group, the officer looking at Tang Ye’s face broke out in a sweat, hesitating for a few seconds before picking up the loudspeaker to shout at Tang Ye approaching step by step from afar, "Li Henian, stop! Do not proceed any further; the area ahead is restricted, and no one is allowed to approach!"
He sternly warned, but Tang Ye seemed to not hear at all. His steps merely slowed slightly without stopping, continuing to approach. With his movements, the atmosphere grew more oppressive, and behind the officer, a large group of soldiers standing ready couldn’t help but swallow.
For inexplicable reasons, even soldiers who had experienced countless battles, big and small, found it impossible to suppress their inner fear as Tang Ye’s figure drew nearer!
As humans, natural genetic fear towards predators was involuntarily triggered!
They awaited such a command but simultaneously dreaded it actually arriving!
Li Henian was publicly claimed to be just a Level 8 New Human, but why... did soldiers have a strong intuition that the so-called Li Henian was definitely not as simple as a Level 8 New Human!
Once a battle with the opponent commenced, events of great terror would surely unfold!
And the officer was also delayed in issuing orders due to the oppressive terror! He wasn’t foolish; from the beginning, the mayor ordered all eyes on Li Henian, revealing the riddle.
Li Henian was merely a Level 8 New Human. Even now, with several Level 8 New Human powerhouses under his command scattered throughout Cloud Gorge Base, he didn’t pose much of a challenge to subdue. As for the four silver-armored zombies he had, the trouble they could cause now was negligible to Cloud Gorge Base.
He couldn’t understand why, if it was merely dealing with such a Li Henian, there was a need to deploy over half of the Level 8 New Human powerhouses?
It seemed rather excessive.
In the southeast, coping with a zombie tide of two million scale hadn’t received such substantial investment!
Thus, he dared to be certain that Li Henian was definitely not as simple as he appeared!
Fear began to crazily spread in his heart, gradually making the officer’s spine grow cold, even if Level 8 New Humans from Cloud Gorge Base were successively arriving, he still dared not relax.
Tang Ye’s pace wasn’t slow; merely in the process of thoughts leaping in his mind, he had already arrived within six meters of himself, his eyes devoid of emotional fluctuation, and even upon reaching the front, he didn’t make a move on him. Newest update provıded by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥
The terrifying sense of oppression grew stronger and stronger; what the officer felt was beyond suffocation: he felt his soul was about to escape his flesh!
The soldiers behind weren’t faring any better, their tense eyes darting back and forth as large beads of sweat continuously dripped from their foreheads down their cheeks, then dripped off their chins.
Besides them, more than a dozen Level 8 New Human powerhouses who arrived one after another also hesitated, not daring to act rashly. They shared the same intuition: once they acted, they’d surely perish!
Not to mention what tactics Li Henian might have; the four silver zombies behind him were troublesome enough!
Silver zombies specifically targeted new humans; once injured, even Level 8 New Humans couldn’t avoid being infected into zombies!
Unless absolutely necessary, they didn’t want to engage in entanglement with the silver zombies!
In battle, the more cautious the approach, the more stifling it becomes!
