Chapter 451: The Zombie Outbreak
Due to the recent heat, Tang Ze would hold a pool party every day.
This kind of party was definitely a feast for the eyes. One by one, the swimsuits were exceptionally daring. Pairs of beautiful legs and jade-like feet swayed before his eyes. It was really something.
Leaning against the edge of the pool, Tang Ze had an ice pop in his mouth, enjoying the brief coolness.
Suddenly, a graceful figure emerged from underwater. “Master, when are we going out to play?”
Li Linger leaned against Tang Ze’s chest. Her sweet voice gave her a lot of points. Plus, her well-proportioned figure was truly one of the top three stunners in the team.
“It’s too hot.”
To run out and play in such hot weather was suffering.
Looking out the window, the heat waves were almost distorting his vision. And there was no sign of it cooling down. It was still constantly rising.
Just then, Bai flew in from the horizon at high speed and landed on the balcony.
“Oh dear, it’s so hot.”
Bai started to complain as soon as she entered the room.
Xi Meng teased, “Bai, with your physical strength, you’d probably be fine even if you were roasted in a thousand-degree furnace.”
“Sister Xi, this is a normal reaction, okay?”
Sun Ting said flatly, “Alright. What’s the situation outside now?”
Bai sighed. “The sea level is still rising. The coastal cities are starting to be submerged. The number of zombies is ten times that of yesterday and is still constantly rising. Even the animals in the wild are showing signs of corpse transformation.”
“Some cities have also started large fires. There’s no way to extinguish them with water. Some cities have already been overrun by zombies. And some cities haven’t cleaned up the corpses properly. Anyway, there are all kinds of situations.”
After speaking in one breath, Bai picked up a glass of water and drank it down.
“And more importantly, the virus-fused individuals who died outside before, after they turned into zombies, although they lost their memories, they can command the corpse horde, and their strength has even improved. Some small places simply can’t resist.”
After speaking, Bai also sighed. It was too difficult.
“Have you discovered any special situations?” Tang Ze asked. He looked at the plants in the city now. Some trees had reached a height of twenty meters, and vines had even spread to the entire floor. Although they had been checked and were not dangerous, it felt like there was a problem.
An Bai shook her head. “I flew a few laps and didn’t find anything. But I did find some huge creatures at the bottom of the sea.”
“How big?” Qian’er asked.
An Bai spread her arms and gestured. “Bigger than a cargo ship. But they don’t have legs. They’re no threat to the land.”
Now that the zombies had completely broken out, Lin Ziyan had even gone back to help. Without this maid to take care of daily life, these women were a little unaccustomed.
When he had time, he would have to find a few good-looking maids.
Tang Ze brought up the surveillance footage of the outskirts of Huzhou. Some zombies were dragging their incomplete bodies and walking under the scorching sun. There was only a little bit of flesh left on their faces. They were even wearing bulletproof vests.
Suddenly, an Alien rushed over, directly tearing the zombie into pieces. For a moment, it was unknown who was the menace.
However, the chest of the zombie lying on the ground was writhing.
With a splat, a zombie-version of an Alien burst out of its chest. The little guy looked quite unique. In Nana’s words, Wow, what a cute baby.
But Tang Ze felt that this white card, Alien, was definitely severely underestimated.
At first, when it parasitized humans, it reached a level of around 2-3. Then, when it parasitized a virus-fused individual, its strength could reach 4-5.
The stronger the host, the stronger the newborn Alien would be.
For example, the virus Alien just now had a level of 8. However, the newborn zombie Alien had reached Level 10.
If this zombie Alien were to parasitize something else, then its level would only go up, not down.
And the current Alien Queen had already reached Level 24. Tang Ze was shocked at first. This level increase was too exaggerated.
The Alien eggs laid by the queen, as long as they successfully parasitized, would be at Level 5 when they came out. And this was only for ordinary humans.
The entire Alien army’s average level was now at 10.
Although Level 10 was not a pyramid-level strength now, there were too many of them. There were now more than two million Aliens in the outskirts of Huzhou. If they were let out to hunt zombies, they would probably become an even more terrifying existence than the zombies.
“How are the other forces doing?”
An Bai came over with a fruit platter. “The several cities of Giant Arm have not been overrun. The main reason is that there are many masters. Plus, the virus fusion agent given by the company. It’s still manageable.”
“The Freelancer Alliance and Xinghui have abandoned some cities and concentrated their manpower. Now, the four cities are also considered safe.”
“That mysterious organization hasn’t occupied any cities. It feels like they’re just hunting in the wild.”
“But I discovered that the Axe Gang has been a little high-profile recently. I found a lot of supplies given by the company in their territory, more than other forces. They even have heavy firepower.”
Tang Ze let out an “oh.” “Then what’s the situation on the southern side?”
“The situation on the family’s side is not very optimistic. Didn’t they send three juniors to attend the meeting before? They were played by the company. The supplies are scarce. They can only shrink their territory. Before, they could still control several cities. Now they are all defending their old lairs.”
Tang Ruyan snorted coldly. “Those old bastards from the families are afraid of death. All they do all day is talk reason.”
“What, is this teacher of yours standing up for her student?” Tang Ze teased. Before, she had said she wouldn’t be Gu Xiaoyu’s teacher. Now, as long as she had time, she would go and see her. She had slowly come to treat Gu Xiaoyu as a real student, not just an act.
Tang Ruyan said helplessly, “The Gu family’s resources are basically all allocated to the men, especially the direct descendants. They feel that the only use for women now is to procreate.”
“Isn’t this very normal? It’s like this in a chaotic world. Men are the dominant ones.” Tang Ze picked up a piece of iced watermelon and took a bite. It was so refreshing.
Tang Ze, seeing the girls’ unconvinced gazes, smiled. “If you were outside, your only task would probably be to have children, until you can’t have any more.”
Although these words didn’t sound extreme, this was the reality. Even the women in Huzhou, their primary goal was also to get pregnant and have children. This was no longer a question of whether you were willing or not, but a necessity for the continuation of human civilization.
“Master, we’ve been together for so long. Why is there no reaction in everyone’s stomach?” Xie Mingyue asked a question that everyone was curious about. They hadn’t used any safety measures. Why weren’t their stomachs getting bigger?
In fact, every woman would have this little thought. As long as their stomach got bigger, the mother would be valued because of the child.
But their stomachs were not cooperative. To want to have a child with the Master was too difficult.
Tang Ze couldn’t give an accurate answer to this either. Perhaps it was his own physical condition. He was too strong to be matched.
It was good that they couldn’t get pregnant. Anyway, he didn’t like children very much.
—
At this moment, at the Tang family.
The entire city seemed to have been surrounded by zombies. As far as the eye could see, a continuous stream of zombies were rushing toward the sound of gunshots. The guns mounted on the containers were already red-hot. The corpses below were almost piled up.
Occasionally, a virus-fused zombie could be seen jumping out of the corpse horde.
“Old Wang, be careful.”
Sure enough, a special one jumped out of the corpse horde and charged directly at the machine gunner, Old Wang.
Old Wang was also calm. He fiercely raised his gun muzzle and fired. But the opponent’s speed was too fast. The sharp bone of his hand could instantly pierce his own head.
Just at this moment of life and death, an ice sword directly pierced through the virus zombie’s head. Even frost instantly spread over its entire body. It fell to the ground and turned into crushed ice.
“It’s the young lady!”
Everyone turned to look. Wasn’t it the young lady of the Tang family, Tang Ya? Her whole person standing there could boost morale, as if she were carrying a glimmer of glory.
Tang Ya’s brow was tightly furrowed. Support was needed everywhere. Once a breach was opened, the entire city would be finished.
“Everyone, hold on!”
“Yes!”
With Tang Ya’s encouragement, their morale indeed rose. Tang Ya also conveniently poked a group of zombies to death.
Tang Hailin ran over from not far away at this time. “Sister, don’t move around! Be careful of the baby!”
