Chapter 7: The Man at the Top of the Food Chain

The vast desert, with its black shadows towering and its mountains, is like two majestic dragons lying on the boundless earth.

There is a deep valley in the middle, like a line of sky, very deep.

Ant-like figures crawled on the ridge.

When I got closer, it turned out to be a figure wearing protective goggles and protective clothing.

"According to the records that can be verified, this zombie valley has existed here for at least 300 years. Zombies feed on flesh and blood, and the vast barren desert blocks the zombies' footsteps! And all these years, these zombies have not been extinct! Obviously, the zombies in this zombie valley are likely to have formed a group and can reproduce themselves. Our mission for this investigation is to check the internal ecology of this zombie herd and find a way to collect some organs and tissues of mutated zombies for subsequent research......"

The professor was surrounded by a line, observing his surroundings and recording something.

Everyone around listened attentively.

Wesnoth took Wei Xiaoyue's hand and followed behind the team.

I don't know how long it will take to go deep into the Valley of Zombies this time, and leaving my sister in the town alone is really uneasy.

In this day and age, human nature is simply not reliable.

"Scholars?" Wesnoth followed along the way, learning a new vocabulary as well.

In the wilderness, everyone has to struggle for survival.

People like scholars can only exist in a besieged city, because there is a civilized order there!

Since the Heavenly Change, the Earth has become a wasteland.

Civilizations of the past are in ruins, littered with steel and cement wreckage, and monsters are infested.

Therefore, steel cities were erected on the barren land, with copper walls on the outside, surviving human beings inside, and traces of civilization remaining.

It is said that there are scholars who specialize in study and research, farmers who grow various grains and vegetables, and doctors in white coats who save people and cure diseases......... All walks of life.

But the wilderness is a different story entirely.

Regardless of whether it is a man, a woman, an old or a young, a sick or a disabled person, there will only be two kinds of people, and that is ......

Hunters and prey!

……

"When you enter the Valley of the Zombies, you will honestly follow me! But don't run around! Holding his sister's hand tightly, Wesnoth whispered.

"Got it, dude!" Jumping away from before, Wei Xiaoyue nodded obediently.

Wesnoth wasn't too worried.

Although he is still young, he knows that Xiaoyue will not come nonsense.

Because in this day and age, no one is qualified to be capricious.

Because if something goes wrong, the cost is ......

Die!

……

Roar, roar, roar......

As soon as I walked into the Valley of the Zombies, I heard a low roar in the distance.

On the open flat ground at the exit of the canyon, ragged and ragged figures swayed back and forth, their claws dragging in front of them, their skin had collapsed, their flesh was blurred, their bones were white, and their eyes bulged out of their sockets, staring straight around.

"Ah......h

Seeing this humanoid monster with his own eyes, Fang Yuanyuan unconsciously hid behind.

"Don't be afraid! This is just the lowest living corpse among the zombies! The professor said calmly, "This kind of zombie has degraded eyesight, moves slowly, and doesn't have much of a killing threat!" ”

That being said, when they smelled the breath of the living, the living corpses went berserk and rushed over with their teeth and claws, their faces festering and spewing out a rancid breath.

If it weren't for the masks and protective clothing, ordinary people would probably faint from the poison as soon as they approached.

"Fire!" The mercenary captain had a grim face and waved his hand down.

Boom, boom, boom!

The artillery fire was vented.

The living corpses fell like bony nomi cards, broken to minced flesh.

"Get out!" This group of mercenaries cooperated with each other very tacitly, suppressed with firepower, and slashed with short blades in their hands, quickly and ruthlessly cutting off the spinal nerves of the zombies, escorting the professor, Wesnoth and others towards the depths of the zombie valley.

Whoop......

The artillery roared, and the originally silent Zombie Valley was suddenly alarmed.

The soil layer was lifted, and one by one the rotting figures crawled out of the ground, densely packed, like poking a hornet's nest, covering the ground.

"These are sleeping living corpses, shatter them!" The professor said loudly, taking Levi and Fang Yuanyuan with their guns and starting to shoot back.

In this cruel era, since you dare to break through the desert, no one is absolutely weak.

But at the end of the team, there were two figures, one large and one small, standing quietly behind, without the slightest intention of moving.

Wei Nuo protected Wei Xiaoyue behind him and watched this scene calmly.

"Mr. Tyrant, please take action! Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to rush past these zombies. The professor pleaded.

Wesnoth's body trembled slightly, and he was silent for a moment, before he slowly spoke, "Are you sure?" ”

"What's wrong?" The professor was puzzled.

"If I make a move now, I'm afraid your trip will only end here!" Wesnoth said in a deep voice, with a serious face, his dark eyes looked straight into the depths of the Zombie Valley, very solemn, "I can feel that there is an incomparably terrifying existence in this Zombie Valley. It can feel me too! These armies of living corpses are just the outermost minions of the Valley of the Zombies, equivalent to the worker ants of the ant colony! If you can't break through this weight, you need me to take action personally! That's the end of the trip! ”

"Is that so?" Seeing that he was serious, the professor fell into thought.

Tyrants, naturally, do not lie for no reason.

Is it so terrifying for him to exist?

If so, he's right.

Will be against general, king against king!

If the power of the tyrant is allowed to be spent on these living corpses, it will be dangerous later.

Case......

A sharp light flashed behind the professor's lenses, and he quickly made a decision.

"Captain Kane, don't cherish the shells, fire with all your might!"

It's dangerous!

Seeing this, Wesnoth let out a soft breath.

"Fire!" Kane, the leader of the mercenary army, had a grim face, and his hand suddenly fell, and the mercenaries behind him immediately began to move, taking out parts from a box he was carrying, assembling a huge cannon barrel, and the next moment the cannon was fired.

As soon as the shells hit the ground, they immediately burst into flames and turned into a sea of fire, which spread everywhere.

Crackle Crackle......

The living corpse was burned and collapsed in the flames of the Molotov cocktail, emitting the foul stench of burning grease.

Puff puff......

The other mercenaries did not spare any bullets and fired wildly.

After a big fight.

In the end, under the ruthless catharsis of human artillery fire, the zombie army was reduced to charcoal and fell to the ground.

At this time, both the professor and the mercenary were exhausted and paralyzed to the ground for a while.

Smack, smack!

There was a slight sound of footsteps, and then they saw a slender figure enter the field, rummaging through the scorched corpses.

What is he doing here?

Picking up corpses?

It's still zombies that pick it up!

……

Just as they were confused, they clicked and saw Wesnoth brute-force his fist hammer open a charred skull, from which he took out a white piece of flesh the size of an egg, which was hot by the flames, and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Click, click, click......

For a while, the field was completely quiet.

Everyone was silent.

In a bloody scorched earth, skeletons and corpses are everywhere, like hell on earth.

But there was a man standing in the midst of it, as if enjoying a gluttonous feast.

Is this the existence known as a humanoid tyrant?

Even the terrifying zombies are not spared!

What a terrible man at the top of the food chain.

……

A pair of eyes looked like ghosts and gods, and couldn't help but dodge.

The faces of the people were horrified, and their hearts were surging.

Only Wesnoth was expressionless, chewing incessantly.

I'm sorry!

Under Wesnoth, inherently scary!
