The upper reaches of the Gold River.
Jinhe originates from the eastern foothills of Guyun Mountain, and its source is only a small river channel formed by mountain spring water.
However, in the process of flowing eastward, there are many tributaries flowing into it.
Even the Fengming River in Zhuguang City is a tributary of the Golden River.
Injected by multiple water systems, the flow of the Jin River expanded rapidly. After flowing for hundreds of kilometers, it formed a large river.
Because there is a water system coming from the loess area in the north, the water of Jinhe River is turbid and yellowish, hence the name Jinhe River.
The Jinhe River has flowed through the urban area of Hezhou since ancient times, passing through the city from the north of Hezhou.
There is another Xiangshui River that flows through the south of Hezhou. Hezhou was built on the impact plain of these two rivers, and the city got its name from this.
Most of the time, these two rivers are not frozen, but this year is different, the river water has frozen.
To the west of Hezhou, upstream of the Jin River, is an uninhabited land with a radius of several hundred kilometers.
Birds in thousands of mountains have disappeared, and all traces of people have been wiped out.
But here, now, something strange is happening.
Countless zombies stood in this area, standing darkly along the river bank.
The number of zombies here is simply immeasurable, and it feels like they are spreading to the horizon.
On the frozen river stood a group of giant orangutan zombies more than three meters tall.
More than seven months have passed since the end of the world began.
After such a long period of evolution, second-level zombies have begun to appear in the wild.
Lickers and orangutans can already be seen in the wild, but their numbers are still very rare.
There are more than a hundred orangutan zombies here.
And the number of lickers is close to three hundred.
These high-level zombies were standing on the river, with a little girl in the middle.
The little girl is the Zombie King from Boya. She is leading a group of high-level zombies to search for something on the river.
During this process, the little girl kept making sharp whistling sounds, and then felt the response from her surroundings.
Whenever there was a response somewhere, the little girl would point, and then an orangutan zombie would come over and hammer the frozen river with its fist.
The river surface, which is strong enough to pass armored vehicles, cannot withstand the strange power of the orangutan zombies, and the ice will soon be broken open.
Then, the orangutan zombies fished out what they were looking for in the river.
Some flooded zombies!
There are many such zombies in the rivers of the apocalypse, and they fall into the water for various reasons.
For example, when Tang Zheng went to fight the first jewelry store in Shuanglin, he relied on the river to fight. In that battle, at least hundreds of thousands of zombies fell into the river and were washed away by the river.
But those rivers will not drown the zombies. Some zombies come ashore on the way, and many others drift with the current, drifting downstream. When they drift to a certain place, they will fall into the mud or get stuck somewhere and stop moving. They become Eliminate potential safety hazards in the water.
So now there are zombies in a lot of water, but they just can’t get out of the water.
And now the little girl is looking for this kind of zombie.
After this kind of zombie is fished out, it looks different from other zombies.
Their skin was swollen, and their entire bodies were bluish-white, like people who had been dead for a long time.
Although they will not drown, their stomachs are filled with an unknown amount of water. Every zombie that comes ashore has a belly that is much larger than that of a pregnant woman who has been pregnant for ten months.
The belly was trembling, and the skin was almost transparent, as if it might explode at any time.
A pot-bellied zombie came ashore, and the little girl pointed at an ordinary zombie.
The pot-bellied zombie was controlled by the little girl as soon as it came up. He immediately obeyed the little girl's order and sprayed a water arrow at the ordinary zombie.
The distance between it and ordinary zombies is more than fifty meters, and the wind on the river is still very strong, but this water arrow still hits accurately!
The water arrow is black, and I don’t know what kind of toxins and harmful substances it contains. When a water arrow is sprayed out, white smoke suddenly rises from the body of ordinary zombies!
Its muscles and bones, corroded by the water arrows, quickly began to rot and dissolve!
Amidst the sizzling sound, in less than thirty seconds, this ordinary zombie turned into a pile of blood!
This terrifying corrosive power is simply terrifying!
However, the little girl still seemed not very satisfied, and she pointed at a zombie a hundred meters away.
The pot-bellied zombie continued to spray water, still hitting accurately from a hundred meters away.
The little girl pointed at another zombie, this one two hundred meters away.
The pot-bellied zombie still sprayed successfully.
After several tests, in windy conditions, the maximum range of the water arrows sprayed by the pot-bellied zombie is about 270 meters.
With multiple sprays, its belly became a little smaller. The little girl motioned for it to drink water. The zombie immediately lay down on the river and quickly filled its belly again.
After drinking it, it staggered towards a group of pot-bellied zombies.
There are thousands of such zombies now, and they were all found by the little girl during this time.
But after watching it for a while, the little girl still felt dissatisfied. The number of pot-bellied zombies was too small.
After coming out of Boya, she has been constantly looking for zombies and mutated beasts to take them under her command.
There are now 7 million zombies in her corpse group, and the number of mutant zombies is almost half.
There are more than one million mutant birds, and there are also more than one million other mutant beasts.
Among them, there are probably more than 300,000 rats.
The little girl felt that her control had almost reached its upper limit.
She can control 10 million zombies, which is the limit of her current ability. Now the gap is only more than 400,000.
When she accidentally discovered the abilities of drowned zombies, the little girl focused on looking for such zombies.
After searching for several days, only a few thousand were found. After all, this method of searching was not very efficient.
But the little girl couldn't wait any longer. She was going to avenge Chen Feilong and didn't want to waste too long outside.
After standing on the river and thinking hard for a long time, the little girl came up with a solution.
She waved, and a large number of ordinary zombies came over. Under the command of the little girl, they lined up and walked into the river.
She wanted these ordinary zombies to drink water as much as they wanted, and catalyzed a batch of pot-bellied zombies as soon as possible.
After ordinary zombies entered the water, they drank fiercely under the command of the zombie king, and soon their stomachs were full.
The little girl found one of them and asked him to squirt water.
The results of the test were not ideal. This zombie could only spray water arrows less than thirty meters away, and the corrosive power was not too strong.
The little girl let the zombies go into the water again, and she sat on the river and waited.
She felt that she was gradually becoming smarter.
She couldn't yet tell where this intelligence came from, but it was clever.
Tang Zheng had also studied this creature, the Corpse King, and Guo Yun's scientific research institute had been studying it for a long time.
However, no research has been done to find out the reason. The cause of the corpse king seems to be very complicated.
Guo Yun finally gave Tang Zheng some conclusions, that is, there are many circumstances for the formation of corpse kings, but one thing is certain, Chen Feilong's kind of corpse king is immature and not a fully evolved body.
The real corpse kings are cold-blooded and ruthless.
But the zombie kings are somewhat different from ordinary zombies, that is, their minds will continue to evolve and have the ability to think, and their personalities and some special factors before the end of the world will also affect the direction of the zombie kings' evolution.
But Guo Yun also said that the specific situation was not accurate. After all, he had not seen the second corpse king and could not make an accurate judgment.
However, Guo Yun told Tang Zheng that the trend of the end of the world is evolution.
Mutants evolve, and zombies evolve too.
The Corpse King can evolve, and once it appears, it will evolve faster. It is currently impossible to estimate how far it will evolve.
Even in Tang Zheng's view, their Light-Chasing Army is a kind of evolution. Isn't the continuous rise of warriors a process of evolution?
In the apocalypse, evolution cannot stagnate, as that will most likely mean being eliminated.
The one who finally stands at the top of this world must be the most successful evolver, or the corpse king.
One day and one night passed, and the zombie was fished out again.
In the second water spray test, the range reached about 70 meters, and it became somewhat corrosive.
The little girl understands that water-spraying zombies also need time to develop. Under the current circumstances, their combat effectiveness is still somewhat insufficient.
But she didn't want to wait too long. After persisting for another night, after all the zombies' water sprays could reach a range of 100 meters and corrode flesh, she felt it was OK.
This batch of water-spraying zombies numbered 400,000!
These are also her killer troops, ready to give those bad guys a fatal blow at any time.
She waited no longer and left the river here with more than nine million corpses.
Passing through some villages and towns along the way, she summoned again, and the total number of zombies was piled up to a huge number of ten million.
This group of corpses is much more powerful than the group of corpses that went to Chasing Light City.
Not only are the numbers ten times greater, but high-level zombies are everywhere.
There are more than seven million zombies and more than two million mutated birds and beasts.
Chen Feilong's millions of corpses were nothing more than a piece of cake in front of her.
In the little girl's little heart, the Corpse King felt that her power could destroy almost everything.
Of course, except for the human named Tang Zheng, the little girl still had some fear of that human being, but as her strength increased, this fear gradually disappeared.
She could feel that there was still room for improvement in her strength. If she could improve a little, she might not need to be afraid of that human being anymore.
But she still doesn't want to meet the human named Tang Zheng now. Before that, she still has to kill those bad guys.
A huge group of corpses began to move towards Hezhou.
This place is not very far from Hezhou. In two days at most, she can lead the corpse group to Hezhou City.
By that time, the world will be shocked and overturned.
