Chapter 339: Battle

Old Liu watched as Ye Xuan took action, directly using his own abilities. His eyes turned green, and bat wings appeared on his back.

At the same time, he shouted loudly. In front of him, a thick wall appeared out of thin air, protecting his body within.

Old Liu’s companions also joined in. They were all direct subordinates of Li Hailong, each possessing different abilities.

Li Hailong, with red eyes, was the true ancestor of zombies, the origin of the zombie race, powerful and versatile.

The individuals directly transformed by Li Hailong were second-generation zombies, with green pupils.

There were a total of five second-generation zombies directly transformed by Li Hailong, with the exception of Sister Hua, who was previously eliminated by Ye Xuan, the other four were present.

In addition to possessing strong speed, strength, and recovery abilities, the second-generation zombies directly transformed by Li Hailong also had different special abilities.

Even if they were ordinary people, they would gain special abilities after transformation.

Among them, Sister Hua, killed by Ye Xuan, gained the ability of wood manipulation. The reason she was transformed by Li Hailong was that she was his lover.

Of course, Li Hailong did not value Sister Hua much. To him, her death was inconsequential as he valued talent more.

Li Hailong, with his grand ambitions and broad vision, aimed to develop and strengthen the zombie race as the true ancestor of zombies. He wanted the zombie race to stand tall on this planet, subjugate humans, eradicate mutated beasts, and become the new masters of the future Earth.

Therefore, the death of a lover did not bother the ambitious Li Hailong.

Among the other four present, Old Liu possessed earth manipulation abilities, while the other three second-generation zombies controlled the abilities of gold, water, and fire, respectively.

Their green pupils were a characteristic feature of second-generation zombies.

The strength of second-generation zombies was roughly equivalent to S-class Awakeners, making them quite formidable.

Zombies transformed once again by second-generation zombies became third-generation zombies, with yellow pupils.

Third-generation zombies had strength, speed, and recovery abilities far superior to ordinary humans but were still inferior to second-generation zombies.

Additionally, unless they possessed special abilities themselves, being transformed did not grant them any extraordinary powers.

Nevertheless, solely relying on their strong speed, strength, and recovery abilities, their strength was equivalent to A-class Awakeners.

Further down the line were fourth-generation zombies, with blue pupils, whose abilities were further weakened, roughly equivalent to B-class Awakeners.

Zombies of this class were essentially cannon fodder.

The last fifth-generation zombies were considerably weaker. After transformation, their strength and speed did not increase; instead, they became sluggish, appearing dull and lacking intelligence.

They were somewhat similar to zombies in American TV shows, with the only difference being their lack of fear and pain sensitivity.

However, decapitating them would still result in their demise. With a calm approach, an ordinary person could handle zombies of this class.

The three individuals Ye Xuan and Su Mengli encountered at the restaurant were fourth-generation zombies.

In fact, they were significantly stronger than ordinary people. The reason they did not dare to act in the restaurant was also due to specific reasons.

Zombie true ancestor Li Hailong had grand schemes. He aimed to transform a large number of zombies through Wenquan Town and simultaneously stockpile a large number of captive humans.

If they were to act openly in public, revealing the true face of the zombies and causing the news to spread, how could Warm Spring Town continue to attract ordinary people?

Therefore, the zombies did not dare to act in the restaurant and instead waited until nightfall to intercept and capture people.

Due to the attacks by mutated beasts, the number of guests in Warm Spring Town was decreasing. Li Hailong was anxious and personally took action to capture the Six-Tailed Fox.

The Six-Tailed Fox possessed the ability to enchant people’s hearts. Li Hailong planned to arrange for the Six-Tailed Fox to conduct a live broadcast, using its ability to enchant people and attract more out-of-town tourists through the broadcast.

Those with good aptitude would become part of the zombie race, while those with poor aptitude would be kept captive to provide blood for the zombie race.

The former restaurant owner, Chen Youwei, was evidently aware of the changes in Warm Spring Town.

However, the entire Warm Spring Town was under the control of the zombie true ancestor. The town’s signals were blocked, preventing internet access and external communication.

People in the town were not allowed to leave, and information could not spread out.

Although Lin Xu had visited before, his reputation was too significant as the dean of the Magic Awakening Academy.

After his arrival, everyone he interacted with was arranged by the zombie true ancestor.

Li Hailong was aware that someone like Lin Xu could not be easily swayed, and he did not want to directly oppose the Awakening Academy for the time being.

Therefore, he chose to deceive for the time being, and as a result, Lin Xu could not find any useful information.

Although Lin Xu had not found anything previously, he felt that the people around him were peculiar. This led him to call Ye Xuan and his wife to disguise themselves and enter Wenquan Town, where they indeed found clues.

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s Thunder transformed into a giant palm and slammed down fiercely. Old Liu’s earth manipulation ability resisted for less than a second before crumbling.

Subsequently, the other three also took action. Each of them released red, blue, and yellow energies, which then transformed into flames, water columns, and golden light, respectively, countering Ye Xuan’s Thunderous giant palm.

Seeing this, Su Mengli also acted. The Flame Red Lotus transformed into a fire phoenix and flew towards the second-generation zombies.

The combined energy of the fire phoenix and Thunderous giant palm, not a gentle force, underwent a chemical change upon collision, then exploded violently.

The entire hall was devastated by the explosion, shaking and on the verge of collapse.

The terrifying Thunderous fire power left the four second-generation zombies heavily injured, covered in burns and lightning strikes, lying in a sorry state on the ground.

Although their injuries were slowly healing, it would be impossible for them to regain their combat strength in the short term.

Watching this scene, Li Hailong’s expression changed instantly, cursing, “A bunch of useless trash!”

Ye Xuan looked at Li Hailong, who was floating high above, and calmly said, “Do you think you are any different from them?”
