Apocalyptic Crazy Kitty

Chapter 39: The Terrifying Zombie Tide

Oh no! The moment he heard the roar from the Wei Abyss and sensed that immense mental energy calling out, Zuo Chen realized the situation had changed in an instant. Originally, the zombie tide coming from the ruins of Qingcheng would have bypassed this area out of fear of the Wei Abyss, allowing the ruins of Weicheng to serve as a temporary safe haven. But now, far from deterring this terrifying tide of zombies, the Wei Abyss had actually issued a summons! At this moment, over a million zombies had already gathered on the outskirts of the Weicheng ruins, and their numbers were still growing. Zombies kept surging in from the direction of Qingcheng, and the call of the Weicheng Abyss had become a trumpet blast—a rallying cry! “Roar—” Frenzied roars echoed ceaselessly from below. At first, they were disjointed, but soon more and more zombies joined in, the sound growing louder and louder until, in the blink of an eye, it had turned into a roar straight out of the hellish realm of Asura. From the rooftop, Fang Dao led the way, leaping from the building’s roof and landing on the rooftop of a nearby building. Behind him, a group of Evolvers began to run, then leaped into the air, clearing a distance of over ten meters to land on the adjacent rooftop. Behind them lay a terrifying tide of millions of zombies. By now, they all understood that the more dangerous the place, the safer it was—they had to find a sturdy high-rise building in the city to hide in! The “One Cat and Eight People” group leaped from rooftop to rooftop like bullets. Whenever they encountered a high-rise building, they would jump directly onto a windowsill on one of the floors and run along the building’s exterior ledge, moving almost in lockstep with the vanguard of the zombie tide. A constant “rumbling” echoed from behind them; the ground shook violently, and clouds of dust billowed as buildings, unable to withstand the impact of the zombie horde, collapsed into ruins. Among them was the very building where Zuo Chen and his group had been just moments ago. Seeing this scene, the few humans secretly felt relieved. Thankfully, the Great King had decisively led them away from there earlier; otherwise, they would now be facing an endless sea of zombies amidst the rubble, with absolutely no chance of survival. In no time at all, they had run through five or six city blocks, and a forty- to fifty-story office building came into view. Zuo Chen’s eyes lit up: “This is the place, meow!” The building was wider at the bottom and tapered toward the top, and it was tall enough. Its surface was completely covered in white webs, making it resemble a nest—a decent hiding spot. The zombie tide had already spread to the streets below them. Zuo Chen unleashed his full psychic pressure and led the eight Evolvers toward the office building. The distance of several dozen meters was covered in a flash—in mere seconds. Thanks to Zuo Chen’s psychic pressure, even though the zombies in the horde were extremely ferocious, they did not attack them. However, with the entire ruins of Weicheng now shrouded in the mental pressure of the Wei Abyss, Zuo Chen’s mental pressure could only temporarily suppress the surrounding zombies—and it was extremely draining on his mental energy. The zombie horde was roaring right behind them. Faster—they had to move even faster! The office building loomed ahead. Zuo Chen let out a roar, leaped onto the building’s exterior wall, grabbed the wire mesh covering it, and began climbing upward along the sloping surface. Several Evolvers nearby followed his lead, completely ignoring the stairs and scaling the exterior wall instead. The terror of life-and-death situations pushed them to their physical limits. Using both hands and feet, they quickly climbed past the tenth floor, smashed through a window, and scrambled into a room—only then did they turn to look down. The zombie horde had arrived! Like a black tide, the horde surged in from every street, completely blocking the urban area before them and turning it into a sea of madness! Not far away, on the outskirts of the ruins of Weicheng—which they had just left—dilapidated buildings were being swept away by the zombie tide, sending clouds of dust billowing into the sky! “How terrifying, how terrifying…” Erzi muttered. Zuo Chen licked his paw, equally shaken. This tide of zombies was like a natural disaster, giving one the feeling that it was utterly irresistible. Suddenly, just as everyone was looking down, a dark shadow plummeted from the sky, streaking past the window where they were resting! Before Zuo Chen could even react, he felt a tight tug on his tail—and the entire cat was yanked into the air by that dark shadow!
