Millennium: I Love Demon King

October 1st, National Day.

In this pre-apocalyptic day that symbolized a long golden holiday, there was no festive atmosphere in Beijing. Day and night, the sound of gunfire filled the entire Tiananmen Square, unveiling the scene of the base being surrounded by millions of zombies.

It had been over a week since the zombies surrounded the city, and all of the big shots in the base had their armory emptied. Ordinary rifles and machine guns could only eliminate second and part of the third stage zombies. However, against a mutated third stage zombie, especially a fast and powerful one, these firearms were useless.

The first line of defense for Liu Shi's team one and two encountered a level three variant zombie on the second day of the zombie tide attack.

They were too fast, the soldiers couldn't even lock onto their target through the scope, and could only fight the approaching zombies with their bare hands. Liu Shi had witnessed the entire battle through binoculars from the city wall. He would never forget the brutality of the battlefield. Blood, roars, struggles, and roars … The last group of soldiers were exhausted, and were finally surrounded by the zombies.

Liu Shi's eyes became wet again, "A good man is born to be a hero, even in death he is a ghost hero. Rest assured Chief, we will definitely complete this mission. " The words that Wang Hu said to him before he left rang in Liu Shi's ears again. Team One had used their lives to keep their promise.

Liu Shi quickly ordered everyone to retreat to the base and give up on defense. At the same time, the other sects also encountered the same predicament as Liu Shi. They all realized that the zombies this time were different from the last time and they all gave the order to retreat back to the base.

The only people still fighting in the outer perimeter of the base were the special teams under Liu Shi's command. The troops had originally been assigned to defend their own spots according to Liu Shi's arrangement. However, when the Ying Sutra discovered that the troops on the frontlines had all retreated, they realized that the casualties in front of them were too great and that the military could no longer support them. This meant that they would directly face the incoming zombie tide. There was no way to block them, so if they were a little bit careless, they would fall into a crisis of being surrounded by zombies.

He would not accept any orders from outside the military. He contacted the other teams and gathered the six teams together. They no longer fought in teams, but divided the Adepts into groups according to their own abilities. The earth and wood powers were responsible for defending the team from the enemy forces, so with them as the center, a three-meter semicircle barrier was built to block the zombies. Only a small gap was left in the middle to control the zombies.

The facts proved that his judgement was not wrong. Very quickly the sound of gunfire throughout the base died down, and the speed and numbers of zombies that came rushing over were clearly much faster than before. Facing the dense mass of rotten zombies in front of them, even though they were experienced in combat, they were still a bit scared and their scalps were tingling. Fortunately, the team leaders were still able to maintain their calm, calmly commanding the other Adepts to work together. Aside from the two mental experts responsible for detecting the situation outside of the mud vines wall, the rest were busy harvesting the cores of the zombies. If they didn't collect them at this time, they wouldn't be able to come back and collect them when they return to the base. With so many high-grade crystal cores, how could it be wasted!

The corners of Yan Binghui's eyes twitched as he looked at the excited faces of the mental abilities teammates. These idiots were still wishing for the zombies to become more violent. If it wasn't for the crisis in the battle, he really wouldn't have been able to teach them a lesson. Yan Binghui really wanted to slap these idiots to death.

To be honest, Yan Binghui was very happy when he saw the high-grade crystal nucleus in a gunny sack. It was fortunate that Gu Cheng had managed to join the team in time. Only now did they realise that their psychic powers could still be used like this, instead of wasting so many crystals.

Sigh, if only his ability could recover. With him here, these zombies wouldn't be a problem. Ever since he had witnessed Gu Cheng kill the mutated bat, Yan Binghui had been blindly confident in him. Actually, the other team members felt the same way. As long as Gu Cheng was around, there was nothing they couldn't handle. But now, even after they methodically cleared thousands of zombies under the command of Ying, he could still see the fear and suspicion on the faces of his teammates.

With several million zombies, how long would it take them to kill them? While he was distracted, a colossal zombie suddenly turned towards him at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it was five meters away from Yan Binghui. The flesh on its cheeks had rotted and fallen, revealing the yellowish bones beneath and the squirming maggots beneath.

The people around him cried out in alarm, "Captain, be careful!" Strangely enough, Yan Binghui did not move even after hearing his words. He just stood there in a daze, as if he was scared stiff.

Guan Yangze, who was the closest to the zombie, threw out vines that wrapped around its ankles, trying to stop the zombie's movements. The zombie seemed as if it had eyes on the back of its head, and it easily dodged the attack. In a split-second, everyone wanted to save Yan Binghui but it was too late. Just as the zombie was about to catch Yan Binghui, the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air could be heard. The strange zombie was hit by something, causing it to retreat a few steps and be nailed to the ground. Everyone could clearly see that the zombie's left eye had a black arrow in it's eye socket.

They looked at the base wall fifty meters away and saw a man standing firmly on top of it. His head was tilted with a bow, and his long hair was fluttering in the wind.

"So handsome!" The big mouth exclaimed.

"It's Lin Xin." It was not that Ying Jing had good eyes, he could clearly see the person standing on the platform at least ten meters away from Lin Xin, but he had seen the arrow that day in the quiver beside Lin Xin.

Just as they were stunned for three to four seconds, another two swishes sounded out. Lin Xin's black arrow took the lives of two more zombies. Even at such a distance with wind, it still managed to hit the zombie's eye. At that time, they had only noticed Gu Cheng and had actually completely ignored Lin Xin's strength. He tried to pull the arrow out of the zombie's eye socket, but his strength was too weak and he was unable to pull it out. The second time, he had to use quite a bit of strength before he managed to successfully pull the arrow out.

It actually pierced through the zombie's skull. The subsequent force was enough to sink the arrow half an inch into the ground. This was quite a terrifying strength. The Ying Sutra had asked itself if there was anyone in their special team that could do what Lin Xin had done. Gu Cheng's previous strength was already a huge blow to him.

He had always felt superior to her because he had a superpower, but compared to Lin Xin who didn't even have a superpower, what did his little ability count for? For the first time, the Ying Sutra was confused about itself. What was the point of training and leveling up so arduously?

"Be careful! "Ying meridian, what are you doing, concentrate!"

Yan Binghui had already recovered from the "Soul Search" state and attacked with lightning, turning the zombie that was trying to ambush Ying Chuan into charcoal.

Before, when they didn't notice it, a Rank 3 Spirit Variant Zombie had entered the defensive wall. This zombie was very smart. It could tell that Yan Binghui was the leader of the group, so it hid behind its companion and hypnotized him. It was because of this that Yan Binghui realized he had been "frozen" after just a short moment of contemplation. He could not move at all. Fortunately, Lin Xin's arrows managed to kill the zombie in time, and she helped them get rid of the colossal zombie.

Although Yan Binghui did not know what had happened, since the crisis had been resolved and there were still so many zombies to kill, he immediately went back to battle and did not dare to be distracted anymore. He didn't think that the moment he turned his head, he would see his old comrade Ying staring blankly at the arrow on the ground. Then, when he was focused on drawing the arrow, he didn't even notice that two zombies had gotten close to him.

At this time, the Ying Meridian also reacted. Sensing a fishy wind in his left ear, he quickly dodged and used his palm to press a high-pressure water gun to his side. His long experience fighting with zombies allowed him to accurately read the location based on the sound and the direction of the wind, and as expected, this high-pressure water gun accurately pierced the zombie's temple, killing it with a single move.

At the moment of life and death in the Ying Meridian, the disheartened demon barrier that was previously looking at the mountain had suddenly disappeared by itself. A smart person, on the other hand, was almost fooled by his own intelligence. He laughed at himself and used his superpower to harvest the zombies in the semicircle one by one.

The black arrows continued to shoot from the platform until the rest of the team were out of superpowers. Only then did Yan Binghui give the order for everyone to return to the base.

With the withdrawal of the last defense force, on October 1st, the zombies reached the city walls and besieged Beijing.
