Dark clouds covered the moon.
Zap!
Suddenly, there was a gunshot.
Whoosh!
A soldier wearing tattered black-red armor and a brown turban were moving in the darkness. He suddenly stopped.
A bullet pierced his armor and shattered his heart.
Crack!
However, two seconds later, the soldier, who was supposed to have been fatally wounded, continued walking.
The next second, heavy machine guns started roaring, and the silence of the night was broken by the deafening sound.
Scorching bullets flew out of the gun barrels at a speed of thousands of meters per hour and kept hitting the soldier.
Clang, clang, clang...
Even when his armor was almost shattered and bullet holes appeared in his chest and legs, the soldier showed no sign of stopping. He kept running forward despite being shot at.
Bam!
The strange soldier only fell to the ground when the loud sound of a sniper rifle rang out. A special armor-piercing projectile covered with a purple light had hit him between the eyebrows and blew half of his skull off.
There was a flash of light when the bullet hit the armor, and one could see a pair of black holes on the soldier's face where the eyes should be.
Crunch, crunch...
However, the fallen soldier was soon trampled over by many pairs of feet.
Thousands of soldiers all wearing time-worn turbans that had turned black and brown were marching forward despite more and more firearms firing at them.
"Are they... biochemical soldiers?"
Natasha frowned when she saw this. She was on the city wall of Guobei County and held a sniper rifle taller than her.
"I think they're more like walking corpses!"
Tanya squeezed the triggers of her guns, and the bullets accurately hit the soldiers on their foreheads and chests, making small flames as they exploded.
The bullets were made by the technology department of Dragon City and were a combination of Wind Bones and Fire Crystals, which could largely increase the range and lethality of the bullets.
But they didn't seem to be very effective on the soldiers rushing toward Guobei County.
"They're zombies!"
Qin Yueyu drew her bow until it was like a full moon. She then released it, and a red bow turned into a phoenix before hitting the ground in the middle of a group of soldiers.
It then exploded, turning fierce flames that melted the soldiers together with their armor.
["You've killed the Yellow Turban Armored Zombie (Extraordinary Rank-4, Elite). EXP gained: 1, 050. Honor gained: 25!"]
Yes, they were Yellow Turban Armored Zombies!
At a closer look, one could see that the brown turban on their heads was actually yellow.
The black-brown color was the result of old blood. When the bullets hit the soldiers, they didn't bleed at all. Rather, there were sparks that seemed to come from metal hitting metal.
Theoretically, the bullets should go right through their bodies and create holes on their backs the size of a saucer. However, even the machine gun bullets only managed to enter their bodies before losing the momentum.
Because of that, the two Red Alert gun-wielding heroes couldn't do much damage to the zombies.
However, Yuriko, one of the twins that also came from Red Alert was much more efficient.
Whoosh!
Above the city wall of Guobei County, Yuriko suspended in mid-air. She wore a high school uniform with mini skirts and had tied her hair into pigtails.
She then pointed in the direction of the zombified Yellow Turban Army.
The next second, dozens of zombie soldiers flew into the air as if gravity no longer worked on them.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Immediately after that, Yuriko clenched her fists, and all the zombies' heads were snapped off their necks.
They then fell to the ground.
"My country also has zombie legends. It was said that only those who had great grievances at death would turn to such creatures... It feels so good to kill such creatures!"
Seeing the fallen zombies, Yuriko licked her fair finger.
However, her white uniform turned blood red after killing the zombies.
Yuriko's ability lay in her mental power.
She could twist a heavy tank into a rope, destroy a large building, and even pull planes down from the sky.
Because of that, she could crush Extraordinary Rank-5 bronze-armored zombies with her bare hands, let alone the iron-armored ones that were below Extraordinary Rank-5.
Her attack was much more effective than that of Tanya, the Superior-level hero.
Since there were bronze-armored and silver-armored zombies, naturally, there were golden-armored ones!
While Yuriko was enjoying the slaughter, the clouds suddenly parted, and the moonlight shone through the gap.
Immediately after that, a streak of dark golden light charged out of the gap and struck down at Yuriko.
Pew!
It was unbelievably fast.
Even with Yuriko's mental power, she didn't have time to react. The light hit her, and she fell to the ground.
After that, a warrior wearing dark golden armor with wings formed by black smoke landed in front of the city wall.
Boom!
The impact of his landing felt like an explosion. The waves of energy sent sand and stones flying everywhere.
[Zhang Yan]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-2]
[Rarity: Quasi Boss]
[Description: The commander of the Yellow Turban Army from Black Mountain. He was killed by Old Demon Black Mountain and turned into a Golden-Armored Zombie King, which made him more powerful than when he was alive. ]
Yes, the force attacking Dragon City at the moment was the Yellow Turban Army. To be more precise, they were the Yellow Turban Army from Black Mountain.
And they had all been transformed by Old Demon Black Mountain.
It had been a month since Dragon City established the Dense Fog settlement. During this time, the Yellow Turban Army of Black Mountain had been fighting Old Demon Black Mountain, and the latter won in the end. Zhang Yan, their second-in-command, was the most capable warrior, but he was still killed by the demon and transformed into a zombie.
Having been inactive for a while, Old Demon Black Mountain suddenly attacked Guobei County tonight. They wanted to take the settlement core of the sub-settlement that Dragon City had established in Guobei County.
To the villains in the Land of Inheritance, they could only establish their own territories after they took control of settlement cores.
Naturally, Dragon City wouldn't let the demon destroy Guobei County.
Hence, the battle started that night.
"A Transcendent enemy!"
"Attack!"
Seeing that a Transcendent Rank-2 enemy had appeared right outside the city wall, the defense troop reacted in time and immediately started attacking Zhang Yan.
However, from bullets to machine guns and missiles built with Red Alert technology, which could create Extraordinary-level attacks, nothing could do substantial damage to the zombie king.
The name "Golden-Armored Zombie King" suggested that it had great defense ability against physical attacks.
According to folklore, zombies didn't belong to any category of spiritual beings, so normal energy attacks were equally ineffective.
Boom!
After he landed, Zhang Yan struck down with his saber.
The 15m tall city wall of Guobei County was built with Transcendent-level concrete, yet the saber energy could cut it open like it was tofu.
And the streak of energy didn't dissipate after that. It went on striking down at Qin Yueyu and the others, who had just jumped off the city wall and were running into Guobei County.
Whoosh!
However, before the energy hit them, a short purple halberd formed by lightning flew out of a building and hit Zhang Yan in the chest like an electromagnetic shell.
Boom!
Even Zhang Yan had to stumble back.
The halberd opened a black hole in his chest.
Yes, zombies were unaffected by ordinary attacks. However, the thunder, which was filled with formidable Yang energy, was their natural enemy.
"Yellow Turban b*stard! Here I come!"
Dian Wei stepped out of a building with his armor that was formed by the power of thunder.
With a wave of his hand, the thunder energy formed a halberd that was tens of meters long in the air and clashed with the golden saber energy that went after Qin Yueyu and the others.
Boom!
The impact brought down several buildings in the surrounding area.
"I see that you've got some tricks up your sleeves."
The light faded, and Dian Wei stood his ground.
The energy he gave off almost reached the peak of Transcendent Rank-1.
"Roar!"
Zhang Yan bellowed outside the city wall. For the first time in his battle, he was injured.
He flapped his black wings, and a gust of black wind blew into Guobei County. In it were countless semi-transparent ghost soldiers, who screeched and jumped at the civilians in the county!
