NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 391: Returning to the City Again
"Is that the zombie suspected to be at level six..."
Wen Guocheng hastily explained.
After hearing his explanation, Wang Tao stroked his chin and fell into thought.
It was a very thin zombie, surrounded by a group of larger zombies. They couldn't see what it specifically looked like because it was too far away.
But when that zombie turned its head, watching it on the monitor gave them all a chilling sensation!
They had seen Level 5 Zombie Lords on the monitor before, but this didn't feel the same, which is why Wen Guocheng suspected it was a Level 6 Zombie Lord.
"Could it be a Disaster-level zombie?"
Ding Yuqin suddenly spoke up.
"It shouldn't be. I've seen Disaster-level zombies and monsters, and they all have one thing in common—they operate alone. Since they are a disaster themselves, all living creatures around them will suffer. So this one might really be a level six Lord..."
Wang Tao's complexion looked somewhat grim.
If it really was a level six zombie, then the evolution of zombies was happening too fast!
So far, he had only ever killed a Level 5, Night Demon with significant weaknesses.
As for the Giant Eagle, since it had a nearly limitless potential triggered by the "Giant" awakening, and it could fly, Wang Tao was sure he would be no match for it.
Regarding the ordinary Level 5 Zombie Lords, because they had too many minions, Wang Tao had never fought them. Without those minions, he should have a chance at victory.
Now, the highest level humans had reached was level four, and he could at most handle an ordinary Level 5 Zombie Lord, but here a Level 6 Zombie Lord was already emerging... The evolution of these zombies and monsters always seemed one step ahead of humanity!
"Let's be careful. Besides the mighty Giant Eagle, there is also a Level 6 Zombie Lord..."
Wang Tao shared the news of the suspected Level 6 Zombie Lord with everyone. Although he said "suspected," Wang Tao felt it was almost a certainty.
Wang Tao then asked Wen Guocheng which direction the Level 6 Zombie Lord had headed, and the convoy purposefully avoided that direction.
The group was cautious along the way, and they encountered several zombie herds. However, these were all of average strength, and they were easily taken care of.
It got dark before they could reach Changhe Base.
Wen Guocheng and the others really wanted to find a place to rest—not because they were tired, but because it had gotten dark. The nights of the post-apocalyptic world were too dangerous, after all.
But seeing that Wang Tao showed no sign of stopping, they didn't dare to say anything more or stop on their own initiative.
Being able to follow an Awakener powerhouse meant risking danger, but it was much safer than travelling alone. If they were to leave the group, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.
"Aren't we resting tonight?"
In the Crystal Energy Car, Qu Shilin asked.
She hadn't spent much time outdoors and had hardly spent a night in the wild, but she always revered the nights of the post-apocalyptic era.
"We're close now, so let's not rest for the time being and try to get back as soon as possible,"
Wang Tao explained.
He usually wouldn't move at night, but in reality, he had quite a bit of experience doing so.
With only an hour or two left to reach Changhe Base and fewer zombies the closer they got to Changhe Base, Wang Tao felt there was no need to wait another night. Otherwise, it might only add complications.
"Okay."
Qu Shilin nodded. She was just raising her own concern and naturally wouldn't interfere with Wang Tao's decision.
With the arrival of night, terrifying roars could occasionally be heard in the distance, making one's scalp tingle. Even the vague outlines of large figures could be seen in the distance.
"Night Demons."
Wang Tao spotted the Night Demons instantly.
He immediately ordered someone to get the ultraviolet strip lights, hanging a circle of them around his vehicle.
"No good! Night Demons are appearing—huh? What's that?"
The Survivors following Wang Tao were nervous upon seeing the Night Demons, but then they saw a purple glow emitting from the lead vehicle.
Wen Guocheng, witnessing this scene, quickly pressed the accelerator and followed closely behind Wang Tao's Crystal Energy Car. He knew the ultraviolet lights could keep Night Demons at bay!
Others who hadn't seen it before didn't quite understand, but they weren't fools. Judging by Wen Guocheng's reaction, they could guess that the purple light must be beneficial. Thus, they all drove their vehicles closer.
Wang Tao had installed ultraviolet strip lights on the vehicle, which were very powerful, almost as much as high-powered ultraviolet flashlights, but the area illuminated was much larger, enveloping several cars around.
"Roar—"
Some Night Demons appeared around the convoy, and everyone prepared for battle.
To their astonishment, the Night Demons didn't attack but stood just outside the purple light, clearly wary. They weren't wary of the people, it was the purple light that they feared!
"Night Demons are afraid of the sun, and the sun emits ultraviolet light, so is this light ultraviolet?"
Everyone was amazed; it was their first time seeing this phenomenon where the purple light could block Night Demons!
Although Qu Shilin already knew about this, seeing the Night Demons unable to approach under the glow of the ultraviolet light was still surprising.
She decided that once she got back, she would definitely research and manufacture these high-powered ultraviolet lights. They were practically a must-have for nighttime excursions, serving both as illumination and protection against Night Demons!
