178: Chapter 178 The Corpse King Disguised as His Son? Lin Yuan Sends It On Its Way on the Spot

White Mental Energy surged from behind Commander Wei Guangjun.

It was not light.

It looked more like chains of red-hot iron.

The chains passed through the sewage and the black flesh membrane, wrapping around the jagged bone crown on the Zombie King's head.

They then coiled around its limbs.

The final chain clamped tightly onto the No. 001 iron tag on its chest.

The half of the Zombie King's face that was Young Master Wei Mingan twisted.

"Daddy..."

"It hurts."

The voice was very soft.

It was like an eight-year-old child with a fever at night, grabbing their father's sleeve and crying out in pain.

Tears flowed from Commander Wei Guangjun's eyes.

But his hands did not loosen.

White fire burned from his eye sockets, crawling down his cheeks.

"You are not my son."

The Zombie King shrieked.

"You are the one who sent me here with your own hands!"

Commander Wei Guangjun stared at the No. 001 iron tag.

"That is why I am taking you away with my own hands."

On the surface.

Liu Qing's voice exploded from the communicator.

"Master, the East Gate of the Outer City has been breached!"

"Over three thousand zombies have entered the buffer zone."

"The Middle City guard posts are retreating, and the refugees in the Outer City are trapped."

"Zhou Heng is leading the Resistance to bring the children back to the safe point."

Lin Yuan did not look back.

He only stared at the Zombie King's chest.

That was where the Residual Dream Core was located.

As long as it was shattered, the Zhe City Zombie King would die.

Liu Qing continued to report.

"Feng Sanhai has sent people out of the city to provide support."

"An area where Superpowers fail has appeared around Zhou Niannian."

"The speed of the Zombie Horde has also been slowed down."

"Her system is spreading unconsciously."

The corners of Lin Yuan's mouth twitched.

Absolute Equilibrium.

This little thing really is a walking Anti-Magic Zone.

In the sewer.

Commander Wei Guangjun gritted his teeth.

"One!"

Black light surged from the Zombie King's bone crown.

The flesh membrane throughout the entire underground pipe network was drained.

Black tentacles drilled out from the walls and lunged at Commander Wei Guangjun.

The adjutant wanted to rush up.

Just as he took a step, his chest was pierced by a tentacle.

He did not fall.

Instead, he hugged the tentacle and roared at Commander Wei Guangjun: "Commander-in-Chief! Don't look back!"

The next second, he was torn in two.

Commander Wei Guangjun did not look back.

The white iron chains tightened into the Zombie King's bone crown.

Lin Yuan moved.

The sewage exploded.

Water lines stretched into a dozen arcs around him.

A spatial rift flashed, and he vanished from his spot, reappearing at the Zombie King's side the next instant.

The Zombie King saw through his goal.

A black bone spur shot out from its chest.

Pfft.

The bone spur pierced Lin Yuan's abdomen.

Wang Ya's expression changed.

"Mr. Lin!"

Lin Yuan did not stop.

Blood dripped down the bone spur.

[Wild Resonance] ignited completely.

The pain pushed his strength to surge upward.

Lin Yuan raised his hand and grabbed the bone spur stuck in his abdomen.

The Zombie King tried to pull it back.

It wouldn't budge.

Instead, Lin Yuan dragged it one step closer to himself.

"Is that all the strength you have?"

The Zombie King's half-face split open.

"Human!"

"You are courting death!"

Lin Yuan smashed his fist into its jaw.

Crack.

The Zombie King's head snapped back.

Commander Wei Guangjun hoarsely shouted the second number.

"Two!"

In the white fire behind him, scenes of shadows emerged.

Young Master Wei Mingan running towards him holding a toy.

His wife sitting at the dining table, picking food for their child.

On the night of the first Red Moon, he sat in his office, signing the No. 001 document.

When the tip of his pen touched the paper, the entire Safe Zone was waiting for his choice.

The Zombie King laughed.

"You cannot save anyone."

"You are just changing the way you die."

Commander Wei Guangjun's body began to crack.

White light darted wildly beneath his skin.

Yet, he pressed his Mental Energy even harder.

"Shut up."

Lin Yuan raised his hand.

An A-grade blue crystal core appeared in his palm.

Crack.

The crystal core was crushed.

Blue energy poured into the water lines.

A high-pressure Water Blade formed.

First strike.

Slicing the bone crown.

The black bone crown was split in half.

The Zombie King shrieked, and the kneeling Zombie Horde convulsed in unison.

Second strike.

Splitting the chest armor.

The black armor cracked.

The No. 001 iron tag loosened, revealing a black-red core underneath.

It was not a crystal core.

It looked like a heart pieced together from countless shattered dreams.

Inside, there was the sound of children crying.

There were nights of hunger.

There were iron beds.

There were white pills.

There were repeated phrases of "You'll be fine when you wake up."

Lin Motong held her teddy bear, her face turning pale.

"So many dreams."

Wang Ya pressed down on her shoulder.

"Don't look."

Lin Motong shook her head.

"I want to look."

The red light in her eyes brightened again.

"It stole my subjects."

The Zombie King turned its head abruptly.

"Bastard!"

Commander Wei Guangjun roared the final sound.

"Three!"

He did not retreat.

Instead, he lunged one step into the Zombie King's front.

All his white Mental Energy was compressed into the Zombie King's body.

The underground pipe instantly lit up like daylight.

The zombie larvae froze in place.

The flesh membrane stopped pulsing.

The sewage also seemed to freeze.

Commander Wei Guangjun's body began to crumble.

His arms cracked.

His chest cracked.

White lines burned across his face.

He pressed down tightly on the Zombie King's shoulders.

"Do it!"

Lin Yuan did not waste words.

He pulled out the bone spur from his abdomen, and blood sprayed out.

The next second, he punched into the Zombie King's chest.

Water lines erupted from the gaps in his fist.

Like a meat grinder, it drilled into the Residual Dream Core.

The Zombie King let out a shriek that was no longer human.

The black-red core beat frantically.

From within, the cries of dozens of children came out.

"Mom!"

"I don't want to sleep!"

"Is Daddy here to pick me up?"

Commander Wei Guangjun stared at that core.

The white fire burned away half of his face.

His lips moved.

"Mingan."

"I'm sorry."

Lin Yuan's arm shook.

The water lines tightened.

The Residual Dream Core shattered.

Bang!

The black bone crown exploded into powder.

The Zombie King's body collapsed.

The flesh membrane throughout the entire sewer withered simultaneously.

On the surface, the Zombie Horde paused for a moment.

At the East Wall of the Safe Zone, Zhou Heng, carrying Zhou Niannian on his back, led people to protect nine children as they rushed into the temporary defensive line.

Feng Sanhai's men opened the car doors.

"Get in quickly!"

A member of the Resistance cursed: "You didn't come earlier, but now you know to pick us up?"

Feng Sanhai's subordinate retorted: "Nonsense, were we supposed to be delivering takeout earlier?"

Zhou Heng did not speak.

He looked back towards the northern border.

The Zombie Horde had really stopped.

Had Lin Yuan and Commander Wei Guangjun won?

Underground.

The Zombie King's remains knelt in the sewage.

The half of Young Master Wei Mingan's face slowly peeled off.

Lin Yuan walked forward, crouched down, and looked at the remaining half of the face.

"I'll tell you a secret."

"If it weren't for your City Patrol Envoy provoking my child, I wouldn't have even bothered coming to Zhe City."

The Zombie King raised its head, its face full of unwillingness.

Lin Yuan continued: "If you had hidden for a few more months, you really could have become a Zombie Emperor."

"It's a pity."

"Those who do evil bring about their own destruction."

The Zombie King wanted to shriek.

But as it neared death, it could no longer speak a complete sentence.

Lin Yuan looked at it.

"Don't doubt it."

"I come from the future."

"I have seen with my own eyes you completely devour Zhe City."

The Zombie King paused for a moment.

As if it understood something even more terrifying.

The next second.

The Zombie King's head fell to the ground.

Commander Wei Guangjun collapsed into the sewage.

He could no longer see clearly.

He only heard children crying in the distance.

Not the crying in dreams.

It was the crying of the living.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

"Zhe City..."

Lin Yuan said: "Understood."

Commander Wei Guangjun closed his eyes.

"Good."

His body completely shattered.

The white light dissipated.

The No. 001 iron tag fell into the sewage.

Ding.

The sound was very soft.

Lin Motong lowered her head, looking at her teddy bear.

The "Little Queen Exclusive" stitched on the teddy bear's chest was still half remaining where it had been cut.

She was just about to speak.

A mass of black-red fragments suddenly lit up.

It was not the Zombie King's remnant soul.

It looked more like a small piece of a crown.

It flew directly towards Lin Motong's forehead.

Wang Ya's pupils shrank.

"Tongtong!"

Lin Yuan reached out to block it.

It was half a beat too late.

The black-red crown fragment sank into Lin Motong's forehead.

Lin Motong's body stiffened.

The next second.

The red light in her eyes turned black-red.

All the kneeling Zombie Hordes in the entire Zhe City looked up simultaneously.

They let out a uniform low roar towards the northern border.
