BXBX NOVEL Chapter 129 - 129: Tide of Corpses
In these three months, Jiang Li had many wild ideas, trying to find a way for
Luo Ying to quickly defeat the whale Zombie, such as learning the Corpse Driving Technique to control zombies. Ideally, Luo Ying could lead a million-strong zombie army in battle, forming a killing formation. Every whale zombie, shark zombie, all would perish.
Alas, Luo Ying was just a Qi Cultivation practitioner at the ninth level. Not even to mention controlling a million, even controlling a hundred corpses would overestimate his capabilities.
Or he could learn the space summoning technique, summoning mystical beasts from the nine states, summoning even one creature from the Body Integration Realm could potentially solve the problem.
But Jiang Li quickly dismissed this idea, because the beasts summoned could not interfere with this world.
What about establishing a country and letting Luo Ying be the king, imbued with national fortune?
That won’t work either. The addition of national fortune has a prerequisite:
over ninety percent of the populace of the country must be cultivators. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the national fortune to increase the king’s cultivation level.
In the end, Jiang Li thought of a method: setting traps.
In a few days, when Luo Ying reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage, the brother and sister could join forces and set up a chain killing formation. As long as preparations are adequate, even a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator’s killing formation could kill a Nascent Soul Stage creature, let alone a fourth-tier zombie inferior to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Setting traps and poison are the most common tactics used in the Nine States to defeat those stronger than oneself.
According to Jiang Li’s calculations, at least 100,000 first-class brain cores and 500 second-class brain cores are needed for this huge formation. If more brain cores were available, the success rate would be even higher.
The number of brain cores the siblings have collected so far falls far short of this figure.
Another difficulty in setting up this killing formation is that it is hard to ensure that the whale zombies gather together. However, according to Luo Ying, the whale zombies will reappear in a month, attacking the human safe zone and causing massive casualties.
This time the whale zombies will emerge in groups, offering a good opportunity to annihilate them.
Jiang Li noticed that the tower of the sky, Fan Tian, had something on his mind recently and asked, “What’s wrong? Want to return to the Nine States?”
Fan Tian shook his tower body: “No, I want to go back and see my members of
Buddha Land. ”
Jiang Li had an idea: “Can you transform those sixth-tier zombies and get them over here?”
Fan Tian negated this idea: “Transforming them isn’t difficult, just need a voice to do, but there are no sixth-tier zombies nearby. Otherwise, after ten years of the apocalypse, there would be no room for humans and zombies to fight, a sixth-tier zombie would have destroyed this planet long ago.”
“And I can’t use the spacetime dao to transport the sixth-tier zombies here.”
With a good solution failing, Jiang Li shook his head regretfully: “If you want to go, go ahead.”
“Thank you, Jiang Human Emperor.” Fan Tian thanked Jiang Li for his trust.
Human Emperor Jiang…Human Emperor…Human Emperor…
Jiang Li seemed to remember something, glanced at Luo Ying, who was practicing the Immovable Ming King Law, said a few words to Fan Tian, who then vibrated his body and teleported to a planet thousands of light-years away.
“The zombie tide is two days away,” Jiang Li muttered to himself.
If there is a time when zombies gather the most, it must be during the zombie tide. Jiang Li plans to set up a small killing formation with a few brain cores along the necessary route of the zombie tide, annihilating the tide at once and collecting a large number of brain cores.
According to Luo Ying’s recollection, a zombie tide will appear two days later, passing through Qi Yu City, overrunning the Fortune Coming District, and shocking the world.
No one expected the existence of a zombie tide, for no tide has ever appeared before. They mistakenly believed that humans could always defeat zombies, as long as the whale zombies don’t come.
Nobody expected something like a zombie tide, the walls of the safe zone could ward off individual zombies, but they couldn’t stop zombies from building ladders with their bodies!
But in this world, Luo Ying has already warned each safe zone about the existence of zombie tides, prompting them to take more precautions when constructing safe zones.
Humankind does have methods to deal with zombie tides. Their hot weapons don’t work against fourth-tier zombies, but are markedly effective against ordinary zombies and zombie tides composed of first and second-tier zombies.
As for those who don’t believe and think he is just sensationalizing, Luo Ying can do nothing about that.
They are beyond saving, let them face their doom.
The killing formation can’t be set up near the Fortune Coming District.
Luo Ying definitively stated that there is no need for guarantees, such a thing is bound to happen. He understood these people too well, to expect them to abide by morality is absolutely ridiculous.
So Jiang Li chose to set up a small killing formation in Qi Yu City.
“Mr. Jiang, can I place it here?”
“Move a step to the left, bend down, and place the brain core.”
“This brain core cannot be used, its energy is too much, it will disrupt the balance of the formation, switch it with the brain core at the bottom of your backpack.”
“Do not place it on the ground, go upstairs, place it on the roof.”
“Place it in the position of Kun. What, you don’t know what Kun is? Step back three steps and bury it one centimeter in the ground.”
“Don’t place the second-tier brain core there, second-tier brain cores are precious.”
“What? You said if we don’t use a second-tier brain core, what will we use as the formation eye? Of course, we will use you as the formation eye.”
Jiang Li instructed Luo Ying and Luo Zhu, and after half a day’s work, a decent killing formation was finally set up.
“Finished!”
“Brother Mouse, is Qi Yu City really safe?” A young man stepped into Qi Yu City and felt a chill down his spine. Thinking about the horrible legends about this place, a second-tier zombie… If they encountered one, their entire team would be done for.
“Of course it’s safe. There were a total of seven second-tier zombies in Qi Yu City, all of them were killed by the great Luo Ying and Luo Zhu. I witnessed it personally. Now, only first-tier zombies remain in Qi Yu City!” The whiskered man said assuredly.
“But, didn’t you tell us in the bar that the two leaders only killed two second-tier zombies?” A little brother asked, stunned. The seven second-tier zombies were all wiped out, their reputation is really not just a bluff.
“Of course I lied to them. Qi Yu City has so many good things. If that bunch knew that Qi Yu City no longer has any second-tier zombies, wouldn’t they swarm over?”
His regret echoed in the whiskered man, he drank too much deceptive liquor.
When he was drunk, he wanted to show off that he had seen the two leaders. But if he was to tell the process, he couldn’t avoid mentioning that the two leaders had killed the second-tier zombies.
Luckily, he reacted in time, he told nine truths and one lie, only lying about the crucial part of the number. Otherwise, there would be more than just the two of them here today.
“Brother Mouse, there’s good stuff here. Look, there’s food, lots of food, it’s not even expired, we can exchange a lot of contribution points for these!”
“And here, a solar charger.”
“We’re really lucky, we didn’t encounter a single zombie.”
The little brother laughed cheerfully. With a pat on his backpack, he felt overjoyed. This trip was a huge harvest indeed, it was worth it.
“Yes, we are indeed…” Brother Mouse echoed casually but stopped halfway, feeling that something was off. He had been so exhilarated that he didn’t notice the problem.
This place was a fallen region, how could there not be any zombies!
Although the two leaders were efficient, they only focussed on killing the first-tier zombies and have never been heard to kill ordinary zombies! He heard a commotion in the distance, peeked over, and turned white.
A sea of corpses..
