Chapter 64: A Massive Zombie Horde Attacks!
On the other side, at the park, Gu Fan had already completed all preparations.
After waiting silently for about ten minutes, a series of terrifying roars came from the distance.
Gu Fan lifted his gaze and saw a massive horde of zombies surging toward them.
At the very front was a Level 4 Evolver. At this moment, he was burying his head and desperately running in the direction of the park.
"Estimated around ten thousand," Nurse Xia Yan said with some concern.
Although she knew Gu Fan's strength defied common sense, anyone would feel a chill in their heart when facing a tide of ten thousand zombies.
"No need to worry. It’s just ten thousand zombies," Gu Fan said nonchalantly.
In the apocalyptic world, he was the undisputed king.
So far, not a single opponent had forced him to go all out.
If it weren’t for the hassle of extracting living souls, he alone could exterminate hundreds of thousands of zombies.
The roars and footsteps grew closer and closer.
Finally, the leading Evolver plunged into the woods of the park. Then, using agile footwork, he quickly shook off the pursuing zombie horde.
Excitement flickered in Gu Fan’s eyes. Once most of the zombies had charged into the park, he raised his hand and formed a hand seal.
"Ten Thousand Spirits Unity, rise!"
Boom!!
A thunderous explosion shook the heavens and the earth.
The formation bases radiated dazzling red light, and the beams quickly connected to form solid walls.
The zombies that entered the grand formation instantly froze like robots that had lost power, stopping in place, only to be trampled by the tide of zombies that surged in behind them!
In the air, wisps of gray-white living souls floated upward, eventually converging and entering the Spirit-Sealing Jar stored within the formation!
One hundred, two hundred… one thousand, three thousand, nine thousand… ten thousand!
Gu Fan could feel the number within the Spirit-Sealing Jar steadily rising.
Finally, the count stopped at around twelve thousand, and every zombie within the formation turned into 'corpses'.
Gu Fan moved his hands again, utilizing the operation of the grand formation to refine over ten thousand zombies.
Within just a few minutes, not a single zombie remained inside the formation.
The ground was pristine, as if nothing had happened moments ago.
Only two pill-sized spheres—one red, one white—floated in midair.
"The Ten Thousand Spirits Unity Grand Formation is truly convenient. Not only does it extract living souls, but it also refines flesh and bones, condensing them into Blood Flesh Pills and White Bone Pills! This saves a great deal of effort!"
Gu Fan put away the two pills.
Beside him, Nurse Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then fired a signal flare into the sky.
Far off on a rooftop, Huang Quan and the others were shocked when they saw the flare!
"How could it be so fast? That was ten thousand zombies!"
"Does Gu Fan really have this kind of strength?"
"Too strong. In under ten minutes, ten thousand zombies were wiped out. Can we really kill him with our next plan?"
Qian Lidong immediately shouted in a low voice.
"We definitely can kill him! The final wave will throw a hundred thousand zombies at him, including a Level 5 Zombie King. No matter how strong he is, he’ll crack eventually. Not to mention he already faced over ten waves of zombie nests. I don’t believe he’ll still be full of energy by then!"
"Are you really willing to let him trample us underfoot from now on?"
"Don’t forget, only by killing him can we seize the Hospital Base. That’s the only way we’ll have enough food!"
After these words, everyone’s eyes turned resolute.
"That’s right. If we kill Gu Fan, all of us can survive. Otherwise, we’ll eventually starve to death!"
"I don’t believe he can survive in the middle of hundreds of thousands of zombies. If he does, he’s no longer human!"
"Let’s do it!"
The group once again roused their spirits.
"Alright, next wave—begin. The first ten waves are just to wear him down. The real focus is the final assault. Leader Zhao will lead the Level 5 Zombie King and over a hundred thousand zombies to charge in directly!"
Huang Quan emphasized once again on the side, then the second wave of ten thousand zombies set off.
At the park on the southern side of the Hospital Base.
Gu Fan once again faced the second wave of the zombie horde.
With the experience from the first wave, the second wave was eliminated even faster.
Having harvested over ten thousand living souls again, along with two pills, Gu Fan was in an excellent mood.
"Indeed, it’s easier to get things done with more people. Later, I should look for some secret technique to control people. Only by directly taking control of them can I feel at ease."
Nurse Xia Yan stood nearby, staring in shock as wave after wave of zombies was annihilated.
To be honest, if she hadn’t witnessed it with her own eyes today...
She truly wouldn’t believe that someone could deal with so many zombies alone!
This man Gu Fan was indeed mysterious like an enigma.
You could never guess where his limits lay!
Time ticked by.
Unknowingly, nearly two hours had passed.
Gu Fan waved his hand, retrieving the red and white pills floating in midair, then asked:
"Which wave are we on?"
Nurse Xia Yan thought for a moment. "It should be the thirteenth wave. According to their plan, there should only be the final wave left."
"Alright, inform them to start the final wave."
Nurse Xia Yan nodded and fired another signal flare.
A few minutes later, the familiar roars and earth-shaking footsteps sounded once more.
But this time, both of them clearly felt something was wrong.
"Brother Fan... something’s off."
Gu Fan swept with his divine sense, and a cold smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Heh, looks like someone’s still not convinced."
"I really don’t understand, why do people always stir up trouble? Must they insist on seeking death?"
Gu Fan was slightly helpless.
But this was good too—killing them all at once would save trouble!
At worst, he would assign such tasks to White Bone Warriors in the future.
Nurse Xia Yan was still puzzled about what had happened when she suddenly saw a zombie horde ten times larger than before charging toward them.
Leading them was a zombie with an overwhelmingly powerful aura!
Her face instantly turned pale.
"Over a hundred thousand! How can there be so many!"
"That’s... a Level 5 Zombie King!"
Gu Fan merely waved his hand.
"It’s fine. When you reach a certain level of power, the number of enemies is no longer a threat. It’s merely a waste of time. How laughable that they thought this would be enough to kill me?"
Seeing that Gu Fan wasn’t the slightest bit anxious, Nurse Xia Yan inexplicably felt at ease.
Perhaps it was because Gu Fan had always carried an invincible presence.
However, the sheer pressure from over a hundred thousand zombies gathered together was truly terrifying!
The zombie horde advanced rapidly, led by a human Evolver with extremely fast speed.
It was none other than Leader Zhao, who was in charge of guiding the zombie horde.
According to the plan, he absolutely could not get too close to Gu Fan during the final wave.
Otherwise, if the other party discovered this wave had over a hundred thousand zombies, he might become enraged and kill him on the spot.
So he intended to slip into the nearby forest ahead of time, and then escape quickly using his high speed.
The zombie horde had already surged forward; even without his guidance, they would continue charging toward Gu Fan’s direction.
With this in mind, Leader Zhao calculated the distance and timing.
"Now’s the time!"
Leader Zhao twisted his body, instantly accelerating and darting into the woods on the right.
But at that very moment, he saw a blur before his eyes.
A black-robed figure appeared!
"Gu Fan!!"
Leader Zhao was struck with utter dread!
Why had Gu Fan come out in advance?
He never imagined that Gu Fan possessed divine sense—something Evolvers did not have—and could detect all movements with just a sweep of his mind.
At this moment, Leader Zhao felt for the first time that death was this close!
