388: The Son of God
For the next two days, Qin Shilei remained in Gaston using Robert's face.
No matter how he inquired, he couldn't find out who the Son of God was, nor did he know where Lair had hidden the other three statues that could summon Shiva.
In these two days, four more Golden Experts arrived in Gaston.
Through continuous recruitment, Lair had now completely won over twenty-three Golden Experts.
He had been beaming with joy for the past two days, already preparing to declare himself king.
Just as he was full of ambition, a bad piece of news suddenly came back.
A large horde of zombies was surrounding them from all directions, with a conservative estimate of at least thirty to forty million zombies.
This news quickly spread throughout Gaston, and in an instant, the entire city was plunged into panic.
City Lord's Mansion, conference room.
Over forty Golden Experts gathered once again, their faces all grim.
No, Qin Shilei's face was expressionless.
"City Lord, do you have a plan for this zombie tide?"
"I don't have a perfect plan yet, which is why I've gathered everyone to discuss a good solution."
"I believe the best course of action is to find the Zombie Emperor among them; only by slaying this Zombie Emperor can we either eliminate or drive away this wave of zombies."
"How can we find the Zombie Emperor hidden within the vast sea of corpses? I think we should rely on the strength of the city walls and gradually eliminate the zombie tide."
"We have tall city walls for protection; the zombies can't reach us, but we can easily kill them from above. These zombies are not a disaster at all; instead, they represent a massive amount of crystals and treasure chests."
"That's right, this must be a generous gift from the heavens. Everyone just needs to relax."
After some discussion, everyone finally decided to defend the city.
Although thirty to forty million zombies were a lot, if each person killed a hundred or so, the entire horde would soon be wiped out.
However, when the zombie tide truly reached the city gates, everyone was stunned by the endless horde of zombies.
When the zombies began their attack, they realized they had underestimated the siege.
Although Gaston's city walls were fifty meters high, if it were the early days of the apocalypse, the zombie horde would certainly have been helpless against these towering walls.
However, after three or four months of Evolution, the zombies now included not only wall-climbing zombies but also flying zombies that had evolved wings.
What bothered them even more was that there were at least ten Golden Realm Zombie Kings among the zombie horde.
In less than half a day, five Zombie Kings teamed up to break into the city and open the city gates.
Fortunately, Lair arrived quickly with his men, repelled the zombie horde, and closed the city gates again.
Yes, those Zombie Kings had already retreated a step ahead of their arrival.
It was still the same conference room.
"City Lord, I think we should take the initiative to attack. Prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat. Once the zombie horde breaks into Gaston, everyone except us Golden Experts will likely die," someone suggested.
Lair frowned, finding it difficult to make a decision.
Qin Shilei suddenly spoke, "City Lord Lair, we only have over forty Golden Experts. To ensure the safety of the city, at least half of the personnel must remain behind.
Twenty or so experts going out to search for the Zombie Emperor. If they don't split up, the chance of finding the Zombie Emperor is slim, but if they do split up, they might be ambushed by the Zombie Emperor hiding in the dark.
As things stand, I think we should request Shiva's avatar to descend upon the Son of God to ensure safety."
His words resonated with many people.
They were initially unwilling to go out and search for the Zombie Emperor because they feared unforeseen circumstances.
At this point, they all began to suggest that Lair request Shiva to deal with this problem.
Lair frowned tightly, gritting his teeth and saying, "We will immediately go out of the city now. As long as we find traces of the Zombie Emperor, Lord Shiva will definitely appear and tear this damned Zombie Emperor to pieces!"
He quickly selected twenty people to go out of the city to search for the Zombie Emperor.
Qin Shilei was left behind to guard the city.
Not long after they left, Qin Shilei immediately hid in a secluded spot, summoned his phantom, and followed them.
Lair and his group randomly chose a direction and flew above the zombie tide, constantly scanning the zombie horde below, hoping to find something unusual.
Unbeknownst to them, a phantom was following far behind them.
Lair and his group had already flown dozens of kilometers; the zombies below had become sparse, but there was no trace of the Zombie Emperor or Zombie Kings.
"City Lord, why don't we split into four groups? Each group will be five to ten kilometers apart. This way, we can support each other and find the Zombie Emperor more easily."
Someone suggested this because they hadn't encountered any danger yet.
His suggestion was quickly approved by everyone.
With five people per group, they quickly dispersed.
Flying on the far right were four men and one woman.
One of the young men with lustful eyes casually glanced at the zombies below, then turned to the alluring woman beside him and flirted, "Yilian, how about coming with me for a drink tonight?"
Yilian gave the young man a flirtatious look, "Tonight, I happen to be guarding the city, so I'm afraid I don't have time to drink with you."
The young man grinned lewdly, "How about I accompany you to guard the city while flying in mid-air? We can drink and do some loving things; I think it would be very exciting."
"Hehe," Yilian giggled, "You bad guy, you actually want to do something like that in broad daylight. I won't bother with you."
She said no, but her expression clearly showed that she wanted to try it.
Another middle-aged man in his thirties was about to say he wanted to join in, but then he saw a bolt of lightning rapidly shooting towards them.
"Careful!"
Before his voice faded, the lightning bolt had already revealed a phantom, holding a long sword, furiously hacking towards Yilian.
Bang bang bang!
Various colorful protective artifacts continuously lit up on Yilian's body, then quickly extinguished.
Then, she discovered in horror that as a cold light flashed, her lower body was falling to the ground.
Qin Shilei immediately controlled the phantom to pursue the young man who had turned and fled.
These ordinary Golden One-Star Evolutionaries simply couldn't withstand a few moves from the phantom.
In less than two seconds, the young man was killed again.
"Enemy attack!"
The remaining three shouted for help while fleeing into the distance.
Teleportation!
One-Punch Man!
The phantom, with its doubled strength, killed people even faster.
In just three seconds, it once again sliced two Golden Experts in half.
Just then, a powerful aura rose in the distance.
The phantom looked up and scanned the distance, then continued to pursue the last person in this group.
After he killed this last remaining person, a pink figure was rapidly flying over, already less than a thousand meters from the phantom.
"Oh!"
Qin Shilei, far away in Gaston, couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
He hadn't expected that the first one to fly over would be the alluring beauty named Jima, who was beside Lair.
The Son of God in Lair's words was actually a woman.
The phantom raised its hand and waved at Jima—no, at Shiva's avatar—then abruptly vanished into thin air.
"Ah!"
Shiva roared loudly, "Damn Qin An King, you won't escape."
He turned his head and looked around, but found no trace of Qin Shilei.
Enraged, he flew directly into the zombie horde below, furiously slaughtering the low-level zombies.
He vented for nearly ten minutes before returning to the Divine Kingdom.
Jima's body went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
The descent of an avatar using the Son of God's body placed an extremely heavy burden on the Son of God, making it impossible for him to remain on Blue Star for long.
