God and Devil World

Chapter 972: Exhaustion!

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Being in the midst of the zombies, Yue Zhong could feel the terror being in the midst of the horde. No matter how many he killed, they just kept coming. There was no end. Furthermore, his Stamina was being depleted. Surrounded by body parts and the stench of rot, it was enough to drive anyone crazy.

However, he was someone who been through countless battles, and he had an iron will. He continued to forge forward, killing the countless zombies.

Under the protection of a group of Devourers, the beautiful Type 5 Ancestor was supported by a handsome but scarred man beside her, while shouting, "We must kill him! We cannot let him live, otherwise, he will be the greatest enemy of our race!"

The handsome man was Gui Can, one of the 3 generals under Hu Man.

Gui Can shot the beautiful Type 5 Ancestor a look, as he frowned and entered contemplation.

After the death of Hu Man, the horde had fallen under the control of Gui Can and Liu Xiong.

However, under the effect of the blue light, the ability of Gui Can and Liu Xiong to control the other zombies was severely incapacitated. Right now, Gui Can could only handle tens of thousands of them. If they used such a number to attack Yue Zhong, only to fail, it would not be helpful to their future contending for the position of King.

As for Jiang Sheng, who was also affected by the blue light, he could only control the zombies to not attack himself, but not anything else.

After gaining intelligence, these evolved zombies also gained hopes and aspiration. Controlling the millions of zombies was Gui Can's goal.

Compared to that, he had no issue with letting Yue Zhong go. After all, China was vast, at most, Gui Can could avoid Yue Zhong and establish his strength elsewhere.

As they were different, zombies could live anywhere, even if the terrain or circumstances were harsh.

The beautiful Type 5 Ancestor saw Gui Can hesitating and gritted her teeth to tell him a secret, "Gui Can, I'll let you in on something. Yue Zhong has the God and Devil Imprint on his right arm, and he already has a God-Devil Nucleus in him. This is why he is able to evolve so fast even though he's a human. Once you consume it, you'll gain an incredible strength, immediately becoming a Type 6 existence. At that time, the entire world will tremble at your might. You can become a powerful Overlord!!"

Gui Can's face changed, as his gaze became incredibly sharp, evidently overcome with greed. He stared at her, "What?! Poliyaeva, are you certain? How come you didn't tell us this before?!"

Poliyaeva sighed, and had a difficult expression, "Yue Zhong only has one of those, even we also want that opportunity to evolve. It's natural we wouldn't make it known to you guys."

As long as she could incite his greed, Poliyaeva was able to relax. Every strong expert harbored thoughts of getting stronger. Once they obtained such an intel, it was hard to resist.

Gui Can's gaze turned cold, as he stared fixedly at Poliyaeva, "What else have you kept from us?"

She replied, "There's nothing else. That's the only secret, the biggest secret. There's nothing else."

Gui Can turned solemn, "Fine, I can command some troops to attack him, but, you must help me kill him."

Poliyaeva had a crafty glint as she tried to bargain, "Fine! However, the price for making me act is his God-Devil Nucleus. The use of the God and Devil Imprint is even larger, you're not losing out."

Gui Can's eyes flashed, but he nodded, "Fine!"

After the both of them had finished negotiating, Gui Can swept a look across the zombies around him and opened his mouth, releasing a sharp, supersonic wave that ordinary humans could not pick up, spreading it out.

The zombies under Gui Can that were familiar with his brainwave signals immediately responded, rushing towards Yue Zhong according to his will.

As he could not control those that did not belong to his army, the dozens of thousands of evolved zombies charged forward with the L5s taking the lead, crushing the fellow zombies in the way, turning many of them into meat paste, while moving towards Yue Zhong's location.

Within the horde, there were blade flashes everywhere, as zombies were chopped up into minced meat. Yue Zhong continued to forge forward with his blade slashing continuously, advancing without stopping.

All of a sudden, there was a sense of danger that arose in his heart, as he jumped back explosively.

A bout of gray poisonous fog spat over, before landing on the ground.

Yue Zhong swept his gaze around, noticing a number of Devourers that could spit hidden at the back of some other zombies.

The ferocious-looking Devourers opened their jaws and continued to spit out poison at Yue Zhong.

With a flash of his body, he dodged them time and time again, as he routed towards one of them.

At this moment, 18 Hunters jumped out from right behind the Devourer, pouncing towards Yue Zhong.

The Black Tooth Blade in his hands was swung forward in a flash, slaughtering all 18 of them within seconds.

After killing the 18 Hunters, 4 5m-tall L5s stomped over, raising their massive fists and swinging them down at Yue Zhong.

These L5s had terrifying strength, if even Yue Zhong was caught, he would be heavily injured.

With a tap of his foot, Yue Zhong routed around the L5. When he had reached behind, he was met with the onslaught of 8 zombies with huge bellies that suddenly ruptured, causing the corrosive pus to splatter everywhere.

His expression fell, and he had no choice but to twist around, dodging with all his might.

Yue Zhong's current response speed had surpassed the human limits, however, he was still struck by 3 or 4 of the corrosive liquid. Sizzling sounds could be heard as his clothes were directly dissolved, before being stopped by the Type 5 Mutant Beast hide.

He pulled out his Electromagnetic Cannon and fired rapidly, causing those big-bellied zombies to be blasted apart.

These big-bellied zombies were incredibly dangerous to Yue Zhong with his abilities sealed.

After killing the 7 or 8 of them, 6 nimble S5s with powerful legs dashed out, slashing towards him with its sharp claws.

He slashed out with his blade, directly slicing those 6 S5s in halves.

However, he could not catch his breath, as the Devourers behind had fired out the poisonous fog once more at him, while the L5s were lumbering towards him from all directions as well.

The waves of attacks came one after another, even someone as strong as Yue Zhong could not manage this without feeling exhausted. He had depleted much of his Stamina, and there was no way to advance.

Jiang Sheng slaughtered the ordinary zombies at the side but had no means of assisting Yue Zhong to break out.

In the midst of the fighting, Yue Zhong began to pant and perspire. His breathing became ragged and his eyes were bloodshot. Even his arms were starting tremble slightly, each time he raised his blade to slash out.

Beside him, the pile of zombie corpses had already formed a small hill, releasing a thick stench of rotting flesh.

In the distance, Gui Can watched while hidden within the body of an L5, his heart aching at the sight of the dead subordinates of his.

The number had reached over ten thousand, comprised of mainly Type 3 and above zombies. Gui Can only had about 30,000 of them. This was his base capital, and having lost ⅓ of them to Yue Zhong, it was natural that he felt heartache.

He had a ferocious glint in his eyes as he stared at Yue Zhong, "It's time, his Stamina is about to run out."

Under such circumstances where there were enemies everywhere, even if Yue Zhong was half-step into the Type 6 realm, his Stamina would not be able to hold up.

Although he had killed over 10,000 within an hour, continuously slashing his blade at that sort of speed was incredibly taxing.

In the zombie horde, after Yue Zhong had slaughtered another 3 S5s, he suddenly took a step back with a pale face, and due to the fatigue, he suddenly fell.

"It's time!! He's mine!!"

There was a ferocious glint in Gui Can's eyes as he pounced towards Yue Zhong.

Poliyaeva, who had been quietly standing beside Gui Can, shot forwards with even faster speed, by almost 30%.

"Damn it! Am I going to die here?"

Yue Zhong felt like his body was weighed down with lead, making it hard to move. In this situation, it seemed impossible to get out alive.

An S5 dashed forward, appearing in front of Yue Zhong and slashed out with its claws.

"I will not die so easily!!!"

Fury arose in Yue Zhong's heart, as he twisted his body and allowed the claw of the S5 to strike his shoulder. He then used his fist to slam the S5's head, causing it to explode.

At the moment of the S5's death, a stream of life force was absorbed into his body.

The amassed life force throughout the course of his journey was pure and concentrated, and this final strand of life force from the S5 was like a match that ignited the potential within Yue Zhong's body.

The life force began to surge within him, entering the God-Devil Nucleus in his mind. In return, the God-Devil Nucleus absorbed it and refined it further, spewing out a golden energy that coursed throughout Yue Zhong's body.
