Chapter 867: Chapter 867: Business Is Getting Hard

As the two ventured deeper, the number of zombies increased, making it impossible to ride the bike unhindered.

The two had to push their bikes further in.

They only stopped walking when the zombies were practically brushing shoulders with them.

The zombies remained inexplicably obedient.

None of the zombies attacked them.

Because of their presence, some high-tier zombies even intensified their control over the ordinary zombies, suppressing their instinct to devour flesh.

The high-tier zombies dutifully upheld their roles without slacking off.

"Let’s go!"

Bai Xiqin looked at the zombies she once hated most, feeling a tinge of pity that she did not express.

These were people suffering from a grave illness, beyond salvation, waiting slowly to decay like rotten meat.

Those zombies with self-awareness were the most unfortunate among them.

Neither humans nor zombies were faring well in this era.

Leng Yebai nodded, turned the bike in another direction, and led Bai Xiqin away from the zombie horde.

After they left, the zombified crowd stood aimlessly, as if nothing had happened.

They had no direction, no goal, uncertain of what they were waiting for.

Even when the stench of decay from the zombies had dissipated, Bai Xiqin still felt somewhat downhearted.

Leng Yebai did not speak either, both quietly feeling the surrounding tranquility.

They wandered aimlessly in a certain direction, much like the zombies.

On a quiet road, a sudden zombie roar pierced through.

"Roar――"

The zombie roar was as fierce as ever, like a savage beast, its angry growl seemed ready to devour everything.

This sound shouldn’t be here; zombies, following high-tier zombies’ orders, should be gathered in certain areas, not attacking humans.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai could sense the frenzied brainwaves of the distant zombies.

The two immediately cycled in that direction.

Zhang Yiming had decided to cooperate with humans, so he certainly wouldn’t suddenly go back on his word.

Besides high-tier zombies, only Wang Ge’s mysterious organization could control the zombies.

The further they went, the louder the zombie growls became.

Occasionally, a few zombies lay on the roadside, their brains a bloody mess, white brain matter mixed with dark blood.

It was as if a beast had brutally smashed the zombies’ heads.

"Whimper――"

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai simultaneously heard a whimper.

It was a familiar sound, the sound of a mutant panda.

Bai Xiqin used her control power to lighten their weight, allowing the bike to move more swiftly.

Soon, they reached the "battlefield."

Hundreds of zombies were clustered together, attacking the central spot.

Their hideous faces looked furious, drooling black saliva from mouths stretched to their ears.

The sudden appearance of Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai didn’t provoke them; they ignored the fleshy scent emitted from their bodies.

They were indeed a controlled zombie horde.

Bai Xiqin glanced at Leng Yebai, who nodded and coldly eyed the horde.

An invisible, powerful brainwave-emitted from Leng Yebai, rapidly affecting the zombies.

His brainwaves, comparable to the Zombie King’s, should, under normal circumstances, command ordinary zombies or at least stop their attack.

Yet, these zombies merely paused momentarily, then resumed their assault on the central spot.

They didn’t heed Leng Yebai’s brainwave command.

Leng Yebai frowned slightly, his fingertips emitting bewitching purple lightning, which struck the zombie horde.

"Their brains have been modified, becoming unresponsive to brainwaves, only receiving certain frequency signals."

Evidently, this was Wang Ge’s work.

Bai Xiqin looked at the zombies, noticing black fluid slowly seeping from their temples.

Clearly, they were injured.

One by one, steel needles flew from the small wooden box hanging on Bai Xiqin’s waist, decisively piercing the zombies’ brains.

One zombie after another collapsed, revealing the scene at the center.

Several high-tier zombies were battling with the mutant panda.

The high-tier zombies’ faces almost showed human skin, but decayed flesh was still visible on their necks.

Near the fifth-rank Zombie King high-tier zombies.

They were not in good condition; even with superpowers, they couldn’t penetrate the mutant panda’s thick fat layer.

The mutant panda, with its na?ve face, swatted down, crushing a high-tier zombie’s shoulder.

The panda’s white fur was now stained black, occasionally glancing at its body in disdain.

"Whimper――"

The mutant panda quickly noticed Bai Xiqin and whimpered twice towards them.

Then its movements became swifter and more fierce.

Its heavy paw struck the high-tier zombie’s head, the powerful bite force seemed to tear a hole in the air.

The nickname Iron-eating Beast was not unfounded.

The mutant panda, large yet agile, soon reached Bai Xiqin.

Taking advantage of the high-tier zombies’ absence, it quickly raised its heavy paw beside Bai Xiqin’s hand.

――Gave it a nudge.

Consider it a big farmer’s touch; once this is over, it could righteously take those bamboo shoots.

Bai Xiqin: ...

This guy’s method of seeking bamboo shoots is getting more and more perfunctory.

"Roar――"

At this moment, four high-tier zombies rushed to the mutant panda, hurling massive energy waves towards it.

The mutant panda didn’t dodge and lazily turned to glance at Bai Xiqin, its naive eyes blinking slightly.

If it saved the big farmer like this, could it get more bamboo shoots?

Bai Xiqin twitched the corner of her mouth, ignoring it.

Whether it wanted to block or not, she could withstand this wave of attacks herself without spending bamboo shoots.

The mutant panda froze momentarily, feeling for a moment that business was difficult.

The big farmer seemed to wise up!

A sigh came from within the massive body of the mutant panda, its fur suddenly stood up, and its hefty paws and enormous body moved simultaneously.

"Boom!"

With one swipe, it smashed a high-tier zombie’s head, scattering brain matter and sending the crystal core flying.

"Boom!"

Another swipe broke another high-tier zombie’s neck, causing the head to drop from the shoulders.

Because the brain wasn’t destroyed, the zombie’s body twitched twice then ceased moving, but the head retained its ferocious expression, mouth opening and closing, eyes filled with rage.

If not for knowing this zombie was just a head, with enough crystal cores, it would have a chance to restore its body.

"Boom!"

The mutant panda gave it no chance, stamping on its skull, plucking out the crystal core, and tossed it aside.
