Chapter 323: The Strange Town
Alex had never seen such a massive python before; it seemed to have appeared suddenly in this place. The world was becoming increasingly bizarre. Avril also rushed over at this time, but her expression was far from calm.
"I just received a message from Noah, there have been many unidentified species losses around us, even stronger than the previous outbreak," Avril said, her face filled with panic. The situation had escalated beyond their control, and if not handled well, a new disaster might be looming.
Alex's brow furrowed slightly as he got the specific location of the zombie outbreak from Avril. "Why would it be in this place?" Seeing the coordinates, Alex's brow wrinkled slightly. The occurrence of zombies in such a place was truly unexpected.
"You take the remaining people back, return to the city and do not come out again; I'll go there myself to see what's happening," Alex instructed. Although he had no particular affection for the vampire soldiers and human communities, their help was needed now, so it was prudent for him to investigate the risk personally.
Although Avril was puzzled, she knew Alex's capabilities well and could only lead the people back. Meanwhile, Alex headed straight for the coordinates; he wanted to see how the newly emerged zombies differed from the previous ones.
Halfway there, a sudden loud noise erupted, and Alex quickly took cover. When he looked up, he saw a colossal figure in front of him, its eyes as large as lanterns, and its stature incredibly imposing.
This is... Alex was startled! It was a Zombie King! He had intended to leave, but it had blocked his path. Alex calmed down and carefully observed the Zombie King's movements. It did not attack him; instead, it watched him as if he were prey.
Alex's brow furrowed deeply, wondering why this creature behaved this way. His eyes landed on several wounds on the Zombie King's back, where a bright red liquid was continuously flowing.
"Injured?" Alex's lips curled into a slight smile.
Seeing this, the Zombie King seemed very irritated and lunged at Alex with bared teeth and claws. Alex sidestepped and quickly grabbed the Zombie King by the neck, using all his strength to fling it away.
"Roar," the Zombie King bellowed angrily, standing up from the ground. It glanced at the wound on its body and let out a long howl to the sky.
It turned and pounced toward Alex again, its massive fist smashing down with a whoosh of breaking air. Alex lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, easily dodging the attack.
"Roar." The Zombie King, incensed, rapidly became stronger; its body exuded a terrifying murderous aura, suffocating in its intensity.
"Roar." Another roar followed, and then it leaped, its legs clamping around Alex's waist and pulling forcefully as if trying to tear him apart. Alex hung suspended in mid-air, unable to escape the Zombie King's tremendous strength, which was becoming even more enormous.
Alex was secretly shocked, not expecting the creature to have such immense power, no wonder it had managed to throw him earlier. Gritting his teeth, Alex tapped into his special abilities.
"Bang." A dull sound echoed as Alex shot backward.
The Zombie King pursued him immediately. Alex's expression was ice-cold; his abilities were now depleted, and he needed to find a place to rest and recover quickly. Unsure of his exact location, he hoped it was safe.
Alex surveyed his surroundings and chose a direction to sprint. The Zombie King's speed was not slow either.
Alex's eyes narrowed slightly, realizing this creature was indeed tough to deal with. Suddenly, a sense of danger overwhelmed him, and he quickly moved a step to the left.
"Boom." The spot where Alex had just been standing exploded instantaneously.
"Hisss~" Alex couldn't help but inhale sharply. The creature's intelligence had increased so rapidly; it seemed this place was not as peaceful as he had hoped. He needed to find another location.
Alex continued to run forward, with the Zombie King closely following at his heels, not giving him any space.
"Roar." Suddenly, the Zombie King halted its steps, turned around, and roared loudly at Alex. Its body swelled instantly, transforming into a giant zombie over three meters tall.
The Zombie King's eyes glowed with a crimson light as it moved its massive feet towards Alex.
"Bang~" It swung a fist ferociously, the powerful wind from the punch howling as it approached.
Alex's figure was agile, barely dodging the Zombie King's attack. His eyes showed a look of gravity—this creature's combat power was formidable!
After its initial attack failed, the Zombie King, relentless, lunged at Alex again.
Seeing this, Alex quickly retreated several steps, then rolled to dissipate the force of the Zombie King's attack.
The Zombie King's strike missed, and it attacked once more.
Alex's eyes flickered slightly; he no longer dodged but instead met the attack head-on.
"Bang~" At the moment of contact, Alex's arm went numb instantly, and he could hear the sound of his bones seemingly cracking.
Alex's face turned pale; how could the Zombie King's strength become so monstrously high? It seemed not just to be on another level but many times stronger than him.
Remember, he was once the most powerful entity on this planet.
"Roar..." The Zombie King howled to the sky, its muscles bulging as if filled with power.
A chill ran through Alex's heart; this creature was trouble. It was clearly unleashing a power hidden within, a force so intense that even he found it hard to withstand.
"Roar~" The Zombie King charged again. Alex quickly dodged to the side and, seizing an unguarded moment, delivered a fierce kick directly to its head.
The Zombie King swatted a palm at him, clashing forcefully with Alex, who was shaken and forced to stagger back. He clutched at his chest, tasting sweetness in his throat before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! You're definitely going to die!" At that moment, Alex heard a wild laugh. Following the sound, he saw a woman in black. Her clothes were blood-stained and tattered, her face smeared with blood, making it indistinct. However, her eyes were exceptionally clear, shining as if filled with thousands of stars.
"You will surely die today!" The woman's voice was somewhat hoarse, tinged with ferocity and madness.
Alex frowned, "Who are you? Why are you helping the zombie to kill me?"
The woman in black snorted coldly and directly commanded the Zombie King to pounce towards Alex.
Meanwhile, as the fight ensued, Alex had unknowingly entered a desolate town.
