107: Chapter 107 The Corpse-Transforming One? The Female Demon! The Progenitor of Zombies.

If he saved them, the plague virus might spread to the Floating Island. At this point, after two rounds of replenishment, the population on his island had reached as many as 94,000 people.

Actually, the island was already quite crowded with palaces, workshop areas, the Herbal Hall, the Battle Qi Academy, the Divine General Training Ground, and the Farming Areas.

With so many buildings, the Floating Island, with a diameter of over four thousand meters, had already reached its capacity limit.

If a Resident Evil-style outbreak occurred among so many people right now, the situation would be disastrous!

But Xu Xuan waved his hand grandly at this moment: "Save them!"

"Huh?"

Grand Preceptor Wen, Yang Jian, and the others all showed expressions of confusion.

In this situation, he still wanted to save people? Wasn't he afraid of bringing the plague onto the island?

Su Daji also hurriedly grabbed Xu Xuan's hand: "Your Majesty, you absolutely must not! We haven't figured out this plague yet. If it gets onto the island, I fear it will endanger Your Majesty's health. This concubine... this concubine doesn't want Your Majesty to take such a risk!"

Daji held Xu Xuan's hand tightly, not wanting her King to risk infection by letting them in.

Beside them, Hu Zi Mei also had a moment of cleverness: "Your Majesty, I also think we shouldn't save them. How does that saying go? Better a fellow Daoist die than this poor Daoist, right? That's what the teachers at the Battle Qi Academy taught."

And Grand Preceptor Wen also rarely agreed with Su Daji's words. The old Grand Preceptor echoed: "What this Daughter of the Su clan says is correct! Your Majesty must be cautious; do not harm yourself for the sake of saving others."

Seeing his subjects excitedly voicing their advice, Xu Xuan knew they were doing it for his own good.

But Xu Xuan hadn't finished speaking yet, and these officials were already so anxious to protect their lord.

"Everyone! I'm saving people, but I'm not joking around with my life or our island. Just watch."

After saying that, Xu Xuan looked at Su Daji and Hu Zi Mei beside him: "Alright, you two should let go now."

Hearing this, Su Daji finally realized what she was doing. After letting go, she lowered her head: "Forgive me, Your Majesty..."

"Alright, everyone, watch closely."

After pulling his hands out from Su Daji and Hu Zi Mei's grasp, a lingering fragrance remained on them.

While gently tapping the screen, he sent a voice transmission to the Orc Sword Saint, Guda.

"Master Guda, lead your people and evacuate the Satellite City!"

The orcs stationed in the Satellite City immediately followed Sword Saint Guda across the bridge back to the main island.

Once all the orcs had evacuated the Satellite City, Xu Xuan reached out and tapped the screen.

[Close Satellite Island bridge.]

The stone bridge connecting the Satellite Island to the main island began to crumble and break apart, with the stones being drawn beneath the Floating Island.

He then clicked [Lower Satellite City].

The massive structure, 500 meters in diameter, began to descend slowly.

It was only then that a gleam of excitement flashed in the eyes of the Divine Generals.

So the King had already thought of a countermeasure. Using the Satellite Island to save people could indeed prevent the plague from spreading to the main island.

This small island, 500 meters in diameter, could easily accommodate tens of thousands of people if they squeezed in.

If they pushed it, fitting a hundred thousand people wasn't impossible, though they would be packed in like sardines, unable to breathe.

Xu Xuan had often participated in large-scale events and seen scenes with crowds of three or four hundred thousand people. A circular island with a diameter of 500 meters was more than enough to hold tens of thousands, though there would be no room to move.

As the Floating Island descended, hope for survival ignited in the eyes of Zhou Wu, Zhou Mei, and the others.

Truly worthy of being everyone's big brother; he still looked out for the people of Great Xia. Under Xu Xuan's control, the Satellite Island was lowered directly in front of them.

At the same time, there were fortresses on the Satellite Island built by the orcs using stone, which could provide them with shelter.

The Fortress gates were wide open, and Zhou Wu shouted: "Quick! Climb up, quick!"

He led his sister and the other Great Xia Lords as they scrambled up the cliff face onto the Satellite Island. A large number of soldiers also vied to climb up.

If they were too slow, they would truly be left behind by the infected.

On one side were the people escaping onto the Floating Island, while behind them were wails and cries for help, along with the clearly audible roars of the Corpse-shifters.

After Zhou Wu and over twenty Great Xia Lords fled into the Fortress, they watched the people streaming in and the approaching army of infected.

Zhou Wu made a split-second decision: "Close the gates! We can't worry about the soldiers outside anymore!"

Looking at the approaching horde of corpses—zombie soldiers clad in armor—he could only order the gates to be closed.

There was no other way. If they weren't decisive, they wouldn't be able to close the gates in time.

People inside began desperately pushing the wooden gates shut, while the soldiers outside screamed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save us!"

"Let us in!"

"I don't want to die!!"

Facing the soldiers at the gate, Zhou Wu felt a twinge of guilt, but he knew that kindness at this moment would be cruelty to the survivors.

To risk infection just to save a few was absolutely unacceptable.

However, he still ordered: "Are there any ropes? Drop some ropes and pull people up!"

This was his final act of mercy, only able to pull up the soldiers still knocking at the gate by dropping ropes.

The virus spread so fast that many soldiers would turn into bloodthirsty monsters within seconds of being bitten.

Within minutes, all the soldiers near the Satellite Island had mutated.

At this moment, Xu Xuan snapped his fingers, causing the Satellite Island to ascend slowly.

However, while descending was easy, the speed of ascent was very slow.

Watching the Satellite Island rise inch by inch, the Corpse-shifters actually began to trample each other, building human ladders to climb up.

A large number of zombies reached the base of the walls and began to climb up like a human pyramid.

The soldiers on the walls began to draw their bows and fire arrows downward, attempting to knock the zombies off.

But!

These zombies wouldn't die even with a headshot. They were Undead Creatures that could continue to move even if their heads were pierced by arrows!

Seeing this, Xu Xuan also analyzed the situation. To kill these Corpse-shifters, they had to be hacked into pieces.

Stabbing with spears or shooting with arrows was ineffective.

Standing on the high tower, Xu Xuan sent a voice transmission: "Don't use weapons to stab them; just push them off!"

Hearing Xu Xuan's tip, Zhou Wu finally realized.

"Don't use the spearheads to stab; the spearheads will get stuck in the flesh. Use wooden poles to shove them down!"

It had to be said that this tactic was indeed effective. Spearheads were hard to pull out once thrust, as they easily got stuck.

Pushing the monsters forming human ladders back down was the better choice. Utilizing the walls of the Satellite City, the Great Xia Lords barely managed to fend off the Corpse-shifters.

Meanwhile, Xu Xuan was thinking about how to deal with these monsters.

"Nvba, you've been observing until now. Do you have any ideas?"

Nvba was the Zombie Ancestor and was very skilled in the arts of death.

She had also been analyzing something. At this moment, Nvba leaned close to Xu Xuan's ear, seemingly afraid of being overheard, and whispered something in a very low voice.

Xu Xuan, who originally had a solemn expression, gradually relaxed after hearing Nvba's words.

"I see. General Ba, I'll leave this matter to you."
