Thousands of miles away, on both sides of the Lanjiang River in southern China, two teams of people were looking at each other across the river.
A few hundred meters away is the still strong Lanjiang Bridge. A person with super powers can walk to the middle in a few minutes, but neither party has any intention of getting on the bridge at this time.
On the north bank of the Lanjiang River, three of the four great marshals of China appeared, while on the south bank of the Lanjiang River, five figures stood side by side. They were the five zombie kings mentioned by Jiang Ningjun before.
This is the first time after the apocalypse that humans have met the zombie kings on an equal footing in the past four years.
Because the other party held hostages in their hands, the two sides were very cautious when meeting.
The confrontation lasted for a while. Joker, who took the initiative to propose the deal, waved his hand first, and then a group of people appeared at one end of the Lanjiang Bridge. Read the book
"There are 13,544 people in total, which is roughly consistent with the number of people with powers trapped before."
After a while, Shangqing announced a number in front of everyone.
"Are they okay?"
"I need them to walk across the middle of the bridge to confirm this."
Shangqing just entered the seventh level some time ago. The maximum range of her domain is a radius of 700 meters, which is exactly half the distance of the Lanjiang Bridge.
This operation was led by Zhao Wude, the supreme commander of the White Tiger Legion. When he heard what the merchant said, he pondered for a moment and then said, "Bring up the light zombie king."
The sound of wheels rolling on the ground came. The light zombie king was locked in a sealed transparent container, and was then carried by an open-top military vehicle to the other end of the Lanjiang Bridge.
Looking at Jiu Qi who was constantly making gestures with them in the transparent container, Jiu Ling's face suddenly became a little ugly.
He had seen that transparent container before. They used the siege of the Rongcheng base as a threat to get back that special level six zombie from humans. The level six zombie was locked in such a container at that time, and was already dying when it was in their hands.
After that, it took them a long time to completely dismantle the transparent container.
So Jiuling knew without thinking at this time that the container where Jiuqi was imprisoned this time was definitely not something that could be easily disassembled. There might be a trap or some kind of self-destruction device.
"Do we really want to hand over that light zombie king?"
At the capital base, Han Xiao watched helplessly as the military vehicle in the video drove further and further away, and looked at Ye Lanshan unwillingly. He, a young man who knew nothing about it, would definitely have better countermeasures.
"There are 13,544 human superpowers on the opposite side, so we can only throw a rat weapon."
Ye Lanshan shook his head. He originally planned to capture the light zombie king in exchange for these trapped compatriots.
Naturally, so many zombie kings appeared together to be able to exchange for their companions without fail.
"Damn it, I'm not willing to give in!"
Han Xiao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Don't be impulsive. Let's not talk about other zombie kings. Just talking about Chengfeng, how many of us do you think can survive his sneak attack?"
Among these zombie kings, the one that humans know the most about is Chengfeng, and his ability is currently the most feared by human superpowers. After all, who can not be afraid of someone who can sneak into the capital base to kill people and still escape successfully?
"But they still want the gold-type Zombie King's crystal core! Do we want to give it to them too?"
At this time, humans have discovered through research that the zombie king crystal core is unusual. Its composition is completely different from the crystal nuclei generated in ordinary zombie bodies. In the end, the institute came to a conclusion by dissecting the body of the gold zombie king - this special crystal core was most likely planted into the zombie king by a special method.
If this thing is true, then the value of this crystal core is too great. It is even very likely to be a symbol of the Zombie King's identity. Needless to say, the origin of this crystal core must be related to the mysterious one. Alien civilization is inseparable.
"Of course I can't give that."
Ye Lanshan's tone was affirmative. If he could have given it to him, he would have suggested using the crystal core in exchange for the hostage. He would not have designed so many steps to capture the light zombie king. Read the book
Han Xiao stopped talking after hearing this. He knew that if the crystal core was really important, the Zombie King would definitely not give up.
And what countermeasures can I take as a young boy who has no plans left?
Sure enough, in the video, the Zombie King decisively stopped the transaction when he heard that humans were unwilling to hand over the Heart of Metal.
The hostages on both sides stood face to face on the crumbling Lanjiang Bridge. The light zombie king in the container screamed in panic when he saw the team that suddenly stopped.
She wanted to activate her superpower to break free, but the next second, a stream of lavender smoke suddenly shot out from the top of the container. The smoke penetrated into her body, and soon the light zombie king, who was still alive and kicking, became dying.
Jiu Qi's state reminded Jiu Ling of the former level six zombie. After being taken back, its body quickly developed problems, and now it can only be used as a test subject in Wang Qiming's laboratory.
"Despicable humans!"
A burst of anger rose in Jiu Ling's heart, and then he waved his hand suddenly, and streams of blood suddenly appeared on the dozens of human superpowers at the end of the queue. Countless seeds quickly took root and sprouted in their bodies. Several The effort of breathing sucked these human supernatural beings into mummies.
This sudden scene shocked the superpowers who were lucky enough to survive. Only then did they realize that they, the hostages, had already been unknowingly implanted by the zombie king with some terrible means of destruction.
"Damn it, these zombie kings don't even think about letting us go back!"
At this time, a supernatural being in the crowd shouted loudly with red eyes.
This shout made all the hostages angry. One of the soldiers suddenly walked out of the crowd and came to the bridge in two steps.
"Since I can't go back, I shouldn't be a burden. Let the zombie king be left to humans. Long live China! Humanity will win!"
After saying that, he jumped down desperately.
With the first person taking the lead, the second person immediately stood up, followed by the third, fourth...
Seeing the loss of dozens of these comrades who were about to go home with great difficulty, everyone on the human side was so anxious that their eyes were red.
"idiot!"
Seeing the hostages jumping into the river like dumplings, Shang Jin was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He glanced at Jiu Ling fiercely, raised his hand, and an invisible fine sand directly rolled it up and embedded it with a strong force. Inside the ground.
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you stop them quickly!"
Joker glanced at Chengfeng with a sullen face, and the latter lazily opened his eyelids upon hearing this, then moved and disappeared from the spot.
Seeing the military comrades around them jumping into the river one by one without hesitation, those with powers who were originally very timid were all inspired by an unprecedented emotion. They looked at each other, then held hands and walked towards the bridge one after another. side.
"go back!"
At this time, a cold voice sounded, and the next moment a white-haired man suddenly appeared on the railing of the bridge.
He raised his finger, and everyone felt an invisible force flying them away.
"You are the zombie king!"
A young man stood up and glared at Chengfeng, "Huh, I haven't fought against the Zombie King yet."
After saying that, he suddenly swayed and rushed towards Chengfeng.
The young man was a speed user. Although he was only at level five, he still did not hesitate at all when facing the zombie king.
As usual, Chengfeng just moved his fingers, and the young man flew out like a kite with a broken string. When he landed, his body was limp and he was obviously dead.
Chengfeng thought that by just killing the chicken as a warning to the monkeys, these superpowers would be able to calm down, but who knew that it had the opposite effect, and more people rushed forward without fear of death.
If a person wants to seek death, nothing can stop him, let alone a group of superpowers.
Thirteen thousand five hundred and forty-four hostages, thousands of them died soon. At this time, Joker finally couldn't sit still. The loss of these superpowers may not have much impact on the overall combat effectiveness of humans, but Jiu Qi's he
For them, it is irreplaceable.
If too many hostages die and humans feel that it is not worthwhile and want to cancel the deal, then they will be passive.
"Why don't you let me take out the Heart of Light?"
Looking at the supernatural beings who came one after another to die, Chengfeng licked his teeth irritably and asked Joker with his mind.
"If you want to take it out, you have to go back and take it out again. If you take out the Heart of Light on the spot, humans will immediately understand how important it is. Even if you kill all the hostages, you won't be able to get the Heart of Gold back."
Joker disagrees. "Heart" is far from being as simple as humans think. Otherwise, they would never trade Jiu Qi for more than 10,000 ordinary superpowers.
"It's up to you, but I have to remind you that these low-level human superpowers are very fragile. It will be too late if they all die in a while."
Chengfeng shrugged indifferently and kept flying away those who came up to die again and again.
At the same time, on the north bank of the Lanjiang River, humans are also urgently discussing countermeasures.
"I suggest you give away the gold zombie king crystal core. It's worth it if you can save the safety of thousands of compatriots."
"No, didn't you see that superpowers have been implanted in their bodies? Even if they are replaced, who can guarantee that the Zombie King will let these hostages go?"
"Those are our compatriots and comrades-in-arms, we can't just ignore them!"
"The Academy of Sciences has made it clear that the Zombie King's crystal core is very important. There may be important secrets in it. We can't let it go easily!"
"I agree, you can only give it to one at most, but never the other!"
The marshals obviously had different opinions, and Ye Lanshan, the designer of the plan, also frowned. ..
At this moment, in a small seaside town thousands of miles away from the Lanjiang Bridge, the Qingmang team finally welcomed its fifth level 7 member after half a year.
Lin Qingqing immediately contacted the Legion after learning about the zombie king's collective appearance.
"Report! Qingmang Team Lin Fei has successfully advanced to the seventh level."
"Very good!" A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Shaoxiong's eyes. The Qingmang team had indeed never let him down.
"General Luo, what's the situation now? Should we also go to the front line to provide support?"
"No need, there is no war at the Lanjiang Bridge right now!"
Lin Qingqing thought that humans had already started fighting with the Zombie King, but after listening to Luo Shaoxiong's narration, she realized that things were not what she thought.
More than 13,000 hostages have died, and more than 4,000 of them have committed suicide. Anyone who hears this spirit of sacrifice can't help but tremble in their hearts.
Luo Shaoxiong asked them to stay where they were, but Lin Qingqing didn't want to just sit back and wait for death.
But what can they do now? Or what do they need to do to turn the situation in their favour?
