295: Undead

Five days later, Jiangcheng City's temporary command post.

"How is the Corpse Tide situation?"

"The Corpse Tide is too numerous. Seventy to eighty thousand Infected have already broken through to the southeast. We must quickly dispatch Level Five Experts for support, otherwise, the small and medium-sized bases along the way will have no resistance whatsoever."

"All our forces are currently tied up with the Undead Race. We must find a solution quickly."

Hearing 'Undead Race,' everyone's hearts were shrouded in a haze.

Chairman Wang gently tapped her fingertips on the table. In the past two days, with the outbreak of the Corpse Tide, the mastermind behind it had been found. It turned out to be a powerful alien race, which no one had expected.

This alien race was terrifyingly strong. It seemed that the Alliance had trapped them within Jiangcheng City, but how could the Alliance's Level Five Experts not be restrained by the opponent? Although they still engaged in combat from time to time, even if they went out, it was difficult for them to clear the Corpse Tide, as they were immediately entangled by the enemy. In these few days, dozens of skirmishes, large and small, had occurred, with both sides' top Level Five Experts experiencing wins and losses, yet not a single one had perished.

The Alliance had the star source tower secretly suppressing. Once any danger was encountered, she, presiding over the central hub, could protect people in the first instance.

The Undead Race's foundation was equally terrifying.

"Has the support from Andong Safe Zone not arrived yet?" Chairman Wang said lightly.

Currently, the only way to break the deadlock was to receive external support.

The closest and strongest force to them was naturally Andong Safe Zone.

Old Town Mayor shook his head slightly: "It's probably impossible for them to come. Although their spies embedded in our Alliance probably don't know about the Undead Race yet, they already know about the intelligent Infected. The conflicts of these past days have inevitably been understood by them. The Undead Race's strength is too great. According to intelligence, Andong Safe Zone is even preparing for relocation!"

"Hmph, relocation," Wang Haitao sneered. "One hundred thousand survivors, how can he relocate them? And even if he does, what then? A hundred miles would likely cause more than half of those hundred thousand survivors to perish, but a hundred miles is nothing compared to these millions of Corpse Tide. As for a thousand miles, does he even have the ability for that?"

"We don't know that for now, but it's true that they are already preparing," Qi Jun said grimly.

"Right now, S-rank, and even Level Five A-rank Talent Holders, are being targeted by the Undead Race, making it very difficult to go provide support. The fastest method currently is to urgently cultivate several newly promoted Level Five Experts!" Old Bull Brother clenched his fist and slammed it on the table. "These disgusting guys absolutely cannot be allowed to let these seventy to eighty thousand Infected escape. If these Infected then trigger other Infected in other areas to form a Corpse Tide, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"That's right, not a single member of the Undead Race can leave Jiangcheng City! And the Corpse Tide must not spread out!" Chairman Wang's eyes flashed with a cold light. They were also monitoring all movements of the Undead Race. These alien races pushing the Corpse Tide absolutely could not be let out; if they were to then stir up Infected in other counties, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chairman Wang looked at the temporary command post, which was actually the star source tower, floating in the sky above Jiangcheng City. Like an eye hanging in the sky, all movements of the Undead Race were locked on, which made the Undead Race equally furious yet helpless.

"Issue the order: all Alliance bases are to have all survivors within them awaken!"

Wang Haitao was startled: "Chairman Wang, are you trying to unearth new A-rank Talent Holders? Even if we cultivate them now, isn't it too late?"

Old Town Mayor's tone was filled with a sigh: "We can't worry too much about that now. Even if these people can't unleash their normal combat power, they are at least much stronger than ordinary B-rank Talent Holders. However, these people are uncontrollable. Before we cultivate them, we must figure out how to prevent them from defecting. What if we spend a lot of resources cultivating them, only for them to eventually escape..."

"I believe everyone has their own means of restraint. Let's start the Awakening Plan."

Undead Clan Secret Realm.

"Damn it! How is this possible? How could they so accurately detect my clan's movements!" An Undead Race Elder was furious.

"Now is not the time for anger. We must find a way to discover the reason and make countermeasures. We must get our clansmen out of the city to rally the Infected in other population centers to form a Corpse Tide. Only then can this Jiangcheng City region be re-controlled by my clan, awaiting the great era," said the Undead Race Second Elder.

"Damn it, to think that this ancient capital land was originally under the control of my Undead Race. Now, wishing to return, we can't even get out of a single city!" An Undead Race Elder was stifled.

"Alas, who would have thought that in less than a year, such a terrifying force would emerge in this land, controlling the four systems of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, possessing Mystical Art users of Guanyin's Tear, those who control the power of the Great Yin, and various other Level Five Experts emerging endlessly. Given time, even the boundless starry sky would know their name," the Fifth Elder sighed.

"We absolutely cannot let them grow. We must deliver the most painful blow to them, otherwise, they will become a great threat to our clan in the future!"

"Our clan cannot act for now. It seems we can only let that half-finished product go out and try."

"First Elder, we haven't even controlled that thing yet. What if something unexpected happens..."

"What, do you have any other ideas?"

That Undead Race Elder immediately fell silent.

"Don't worry, his family is in our hands. These humans are as foolish as ever..."

In a dark dungeon, figures were chained, emitting mournful wails and struggling on the ground, scratching bloodstains into the floor.

These were all humans, but their faces were distorted and hideous. Although they still retained human form, most of their bodies no longer looked human, as if they were... Infected!

And in the deepest part, a figure sat with bowed head, as if dead, unmoving.

Tap, tap, tap.

Footsteps echoed in the dark space.

An Undead Race individual approached the figure.

This person's appearance was surprisingly indistinguishable from an ordinary human, but the terrifying contamination power erupting from his entire body made the Undead Race individual retreat a few steps, clearly indicating that this person was no longer a normal human.

"My clan needs your help with something."

The person sitting on the ground remained motionless.

The Undead Race individual frowned: "After it's done, my clan will allow you to see your parents and sister, and as long as you succeed, my clan will protect your family well."

Chains rattled, and the man on the ground slowly raised his head. His blood-red eyes made the Undead Race individual tremble all over.

"I need to see them now."

"Let..." Before the words were fully out, the Undead Race individual felt as if he was being stared at by a primeval beast, trembling all over. "You, you wait."

With that, the Undead Race individual fled in a panic.

Southeast of Jiangcheng City, three newly promoted Level Five A-rank Talent Holders, leading their team, were approaching the Corpse Tide.

The three were full of vigor, riding on Level Four exotic beast mounts, looking down at the scene on the ground.

"This time, going to clear the Infected Corpse Tide, my two elder brothers must take good care of their little sister," a pretty girl blinked.

"Hahaha, a mere Corpse Tide can be extinguished with a flick of the hand. Sister Mingya, there's no need to worry," the boy with heterochromatic eyes said with a certain flair.

"Hehe, then thank you, Brother Xu," the pretty girl's eyes curved into crescent moons.

"We've arrived," the youth holding a black sword said grimly. Thousands of meters away, the dark Corpse Tide surged like waves.
