238: Chapter 238 was just so-so.

In an abandoned industrial zone fifty kilometers away from the Shelter.

A massive figure, five meters tall, stood atop a collapsed chimney, looking down at the dense zombie horde below.

This figure was even taller and more imposing than Chiyan, whom Lin Yuan had previously eliminated.

Its skin was a strange dark purple, its muscles were as hard as steel, and it radiated a suffocating, terrifying pressure.

Most terrifying of all were its eyes—no longer the scarlet red of ordinary zombies, but a deep, golden hue that flickered with intelligence far surpassing that of humans.

"That trash Chiyan actually got killed by a human."

The Zombie King spoke slowly, its voice low and thunderous:

"It seems the owner of that Shelter truly has some skills."

Its name was—Underworld King.

It was the supreme commander of all Evolved Zombies in this region.

Chiyan was merely a small underling under its command.

"Master, Chiyan's failure has sounded an alarm for us."

A two-meter-tall Evolved Zombie said respectfully:

"That human named Lin Yuan has strength far beyond our expectations."

"I know."

Underworld King nodded:

"So this time, I will take action personally."

"And... I won't just be leading a few tens of thousands of cannon fodder to their deaths."

It waved its hand and let out a heaven-shaking roar:

"Roar—!!!"

This roar spread across a hundred miles!

In an instant, countless Evolved Zombies surged in from all directions!

They were no longer the low-level Evolved Zombies from before, but elites that had undergone a second evolution!

Each one possessed at least A-rank combat power!

"One... two... three..."

The reporting Evolved Zombie began to count, growing more alarmed as it went:

"Master, 150,000 Evolved Zombies have already assembled!"

"Not enough."

Underworld King said coldly:

"Bring over all the forces that can be mobilized."

"I want to let that human know what true Apocalypse terror is!"

Following Underworld King's order, more Evolved Zombies began to gather here.

Not only that, but dense black dots also appeared in the sky.

Those were evolved flying zombies!

They had bat-like wings, were extremely fast, and were the most terrifying aerial threat!

On the ground, various Evolved Beasts were also converging here.

Giant Demon Wolves, Steel-Toothed Tigers, Poison Serpent Kings, Iron-Armored Bears...

Each one was a terrifying entity of S-rank or higher!

"Report, Master!"

Another Evolved Zombie ran over to report:

"The Evolved Beast legion has finished assembling, totaling 3,000 Evolved Beasts of S-rank or higher!"

"Additionally, there are five SS-rank Evolved Beasts willing to follow your command!"

Five SS-rank Evolved Beasts!

This number made all the Evolved Zombies present gasp.

You have to know, an SS-rank entity is already top-tier combat power in the Apocalypse!

Five SS-rank Evolved Beasts combined are enough to destroy any human base!

"Very good."

Underworld King nodded with satisfaction:

"Now, tell me the detailed situation of that Shelter."

"Yes!"

An Evolved Zombie in charge of intelligence immediately stepped forward:

"According to our reconnaissance, that Shelter is located in the center of Xingyao City and covers a huge area."

"The city walls are built from some kind of special alloy, and ordinary attacks are hard to destroy them."

"Inside, there are 30,000 female survivors, of whom about 8,000 possess Superpowers."

"The core combat power includes over a dozen female powerhouses of S-rank or higher, as well as the man named Lin Yuan."

"Lin Yuan's strength... according to the intelligence sent back by Chiyan before he died, is at least SSS-rank!"

SSS-rank!

Hearing this assessment, a trace of gravity flashed in Underworld King's eyes.

An SSS-rank human is indeed a troublesome opponent.

But it was not afraid.

Because it itself is also an SSS-rank entity!

And it is the top among SSS-rank!

"So what if he's SSS-rank?"

Underworld King sneered:

"I, Underworld King, am also SSS-rank!"

"And I have an army of 150,000, and five SS-rank Evolved Beasts!"

"Even if he is strong, it's impossible for one person to fight so many enemies!"

"Master is wise!"

The surrounding Evolved Zombies shouted in unison.

"Pass on my order!"

Underworld King waved its huge arm:

"The whole army, move out!"

"I want to raze that Shelter to the ground within three days!"

"Roar—!!!"

150,000 Evolved Zombies roared simultaneously, the sound shaking the heavens and the earth!

The earth trembled violently under their footsteps!

This terrifying legion began to march toward Xingyao City!

Meanwhile, inside the Shelter.

Lin Yuan stood in front of the big screen in the command room, a playful smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

The screen displayed the image captured by satellite reconnaissance—a dense zombie horde was approaching the Shelter!

"This quantity... is more than ten times that of last time!"

Xia Muqing used her Data Analysis ability to quickly calculate:

"Preliminary estimate, there are at least 150,000 Evolved Zombies!"

"And a large number of Evolved Beasts, many of which are S-rank or higher!"

150,000!

Hearing this number, all the heroines present gasped.

The zombie army Chiyan brought last time was only a few tens of thousands, and it had already made them feel immense pressure.

This time, it's actually 150,000!

"And..."

Xia Muqing's voice became even more grave:

"I detected an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation."

"The owner of that energy... is at least SSS-rank in strength!"

"Perhaps even stronger!"

An SSS-rank Zombie King!

This news made all the heroines present nervous.

But Lin Yuan remained calm, even yawning.

"That's it?"

He said nonchalantly:

"I thought it was some big scene, but it turns out to be just 150,000 small fry."

"Lin Yuan, you... aren't you worried?"

Su Yuyan couldn't quite believe her ears.

"Worried?"

Lin Yuan chuckled, a flash of domineering aura that looked down upon the world in his eyes:

"When have I, Lin Yuan, ever been worried?"

"Let alone 150,000, even if 1.5 million came, the result would be the same."

"In front of me, they are just a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered."

These words were overflowing with dominance, making all the heroines present feel their heart rates accelerate.

This is their man!

No matter how great the crisis, he can always remain so calm and composed!

"However..."

Lin Yuan changed the subject, a devilish smile curling at the corners of his mouth:

"Since they are so sincere and delivered so many 'experience packs' to my door, I'd be embarrassed not to accept."

"This wave is incredibly lucrative, massive profit!"

Hearing Lin Yuan compare the 150,000 zombie horde to "experience packs," all the heroines present couldn't help but laugh.

The tense atmosphere was instantly relieved significantly.

"What about that SSS-rank Zombie King?"

Luo Qinghan asked:

"Its strength is indeed very strong, even stronger than I anticipated."

"SSS-rank?"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of disdain:

"It's just so-so."

"That Chiyan last time was touted as SSS-rank, but what was the result?"

"Killed by me in one move, not even slag was left."

"Even if this Underworld King is stronger, how strong could it really be?"

"In my eyes, they are all in the same tier—"

"Trash."

This word stunned everyone present.

Calling an SSS-rank Zombie King trash?

How strong must one's confidence be to say such things?

But looking at Lin Yuan's calm and unconcerned expression, they knew he wasn't bragging.

He really had the strength!

"Alright, don't just stand there."

Lin Yuan clapped his hands and began to issue orders:

"Although these zombies aren't worth mentioning, the necessary procedures must still be followed."

"Qingxue, you take people to guard the East Gate."

"Yes!"

Ye Qingxue responded immediately.

"Murong Xueer, you guard the West Gate."

"Understood."

Murong Xueer nodded.

"Shiyun, you are responsible for aerial defense, use Heavenly Sound Kill to suppress those flying zombies."

"Leave it to me!"

Tang Shiyun was full of confidence.

"Everyone else, get to your posts and execute according to the previous drills."

Lin Yuan looked around at the women, a domineering smile curling at his lips:

"Remember, you just need to do your own jobs."

"I'll handle the real big boss."

"Yes!"

The women responded in unison, their eyes burning with admiration and trust for Lin Yuan.

With him here, they fear nothing!

"Oh, right."

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered something:

"After this battle ends, I will reward you all well."

"So... all of you, come back alive."

"Did you hear me?"

This sentence warmed the hearts of the heroines present.

Although Lin Yuan usually appears domineering, at critical moments, he still cares about them very much.

"Don't worry, Lin Yuan!"

Su Yuyan said with a smile:

"We will definitely come back alive to collect our rewards!"

"That's good."

Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then strode toward the highest point of the city wall.

30,000 Female Warriors were already standing by in full battle array; seeing Lin Yuan appear, they erupted into earth-shaking cheers!

"Lin Yuan! Lin Yuan! Lin Yuan!"

"Long live the Master!"

"We will definitely win!"

Lin Yuan stood at the highest point of the city wall, hands behind his back, looking down at the black tide gradually approaching from the distance.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, outlining a towering silhouette.

That aura of looking down on the world made everyone feel at ease.

As long as he is here, nothing is impossible!

"Underworld King, is it?"

Lin Yuan's lips curled into a mocking smile:

"Since you want to die so badly, I will grant your wish."

"Today, I'll let you witness—"

"What is called true invincibility!"

His voice was not loud, but it seemed to have a magical power, spreading throughout the entire Shelter!

30,000 Female Warriors erupted in a heaven-shaking shout simultaneously:

"Invincible! Invincible! Invincible!"

In the distance, the roar of the zombie horde grew closer and closer.

The earth trembled, and the sky changed color.

But Lin Yuan's eyes grew brighter, and the smile on his lips grew more radiant.

He hadn't encountered a decent opponent in a long time.

Although this Underworld King was likely just another weakling, at least it could let him stretch his muscles a little.

"Come on, you clowns."

Lin Yuan said softly:

"Let me see how many surprises you can bring me."
