I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

The next day, Chen Yang, who didn't have an alarm clock, got up early for once.

This is the fifth day.

There are two days left until the zombie outbreak.

He arrived at the west side of the town.

Psychedelic forest.

He came here to find out about Rex's disappearance.

The purple mist, like a net, enveloped the entire forest from afar.

Chen Yang stood at the edge of the Enchanted Forest, peering inside.

The fog was as thick as liquid, clinging to the trees.

It was incredibly bizarre.

Hey! You over there, don't get so close to the forest!

A patrolman jogged closer.

Chen Yang looked at his face and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

The patrolman recognized Chen Yang and frowned, saying:

"You're the man I found in the forest a few days ago, aren't you?"

"Let me tell you, don't even think about going into this forest to hunt mushrooms. Listen to my advice, or you'll end up in a bad way."

The person who came was actually the soldier who rescued Chen Yang that day!

Chen Yang's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Sir! Thank you so much that day! But I'm a little curious... how was I rescued?"

The patrolmen, seizing a rare opportunity to slack off, leaned against a tree and started chatting with Chen Yang.

“There was a lot of noise in the forest that day, so I went in to check. I found you lying on the ground, unconscious.”

"You're lucky, kid. Most people don't have that kind of good fortune."

"I brought you out, and while I was at it, I also caught a wandering fellow on the outskirts of the forest."

Chen Yang seemed to be deep in thought after hearing this.

"But sir, how can you enter this enchanted forest? Won't you be affected by this fog?"

The patrolman patted his equipment proudly and took out a mask that looked like a respirator.

"These are our specially equipped filter masks. They can block the psychedelic fog and ensure that we are not affected while on patrol."

Chen Yang's eyes darted around, and he tentatively asked:

"Then... could I borrow your mask for a moment? I left some important things in the forest and I have to find them."

The patrolman immediately adopted a righteous and indignant expression and shook his head without hesitation.

"No! These masks are specifically issued to us for patrol purposes; they absolutely cannot be lent out."

"Not to mention the Enchanted Forest is so dangerous. If something happens to you inside, I can't take responsibility."

After explaining, he drove Chen Yang out of the forest.

Having failed to achieve his goal, Chen Yang had no choice but to make other plans.

He turned around and went to the other side of the town.

The Dead Mountain Range.

According to the "Hemu Town Calendar".

The Dead Mountain Range was originally just a cemetery for the town.

It has become a gathering place for zombies at some point.

No one knows where the zombies came from.

But everyone agrees that zombies are extremely dangerous.

Therefore, no one dared to enter this mountain range.

Fortunately, the zombies do not leave the Dead Mountain Range on their own.

Therefore, zombies and humans have always maintained a peaceful and undisturbed relationship.

But this stalemate will be broken in two days.

Therefore, Chen Yang planned to enter the Dead Spirit Mountain Range ahead of time to investigate its true nature.

The air became damp and chilly.

Avoiding the patrolmen's sight, Chen Yang entered this forbidden area that no one dared to set foot in easily.

Forests should be full of life and vitality, but here only the smell of decay permeates the air.

The trees grew crookedly, like twisted ghostly shadows.

"Yumi, come out and help," Chen Yang called softly.

A golden light flashed, and the kitten jumped out of his card, its tail wagging excitedly.

Use the skill [Yuumi's Move]

Yuumi leaps into the air, activating her skill.

Chen Yang felt a warm current surge from his heart, and his whole body was filled with a strange power.

The muscles became strong and powerful, and the eyesight and hearing were greatly enhanced.

It seemed as if an invisible thread connected Yumi and Chen Yang.

"That's much safer."

Chen Yang took a deep breath, feeling the energy of Youmi flowing through his body.

He understood that ordinary humans could die instantly if they were not careful when facing zombies.

With Yuumi's skills, an unprecedented sense of power filled his entire body.

He tentatively threw a punch, the air whistled, and a gust of wind swept out.

He easily climbed the big tree next to him in a few moments and crept among the treetops.

Although the Dead Mountain Range is called a mountain range, it is actually two twin mountains.

In the center is a huge canyon, and the town's original cemetery was located deep in the canyon.

However, Chen Yang searched the outer perimeter of the mountains for a long time but didn't encounter a single zombie.

"Strange? Could the zombies be deeper inside?"

As Chen Yang ventured deeper into the valley between the two mountains, the surrounding air grew increasingly damp and chilly.

The towering mountain walls on both sides blocked the sunlight, making the light in the canyon even weaker.

The jagged tree roots twisted and sprawled out, like decaying hands reaching into the air.

The wind was fierce.

As Chen Yang ventured deeper, he discovered that the path was littered with fallen zombies.

Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that these zombies all suffered some kind of blunt force trauma to the brain.

"Strange, why are they all dead zombies?"

The scene was so bizarre that Chen Yang was utterly perplexed.

"What happened?"

Even the usually lively and active Yumi has quieted down now.

She lay on the magic book, her ears twitching slightly, warily surveying the eerie surroundings.

The man and the cat quickened their pace and ventured deeper into the territory.

The chill in the air grew stronger.

"Uh~"

Suddenly, the roar of zombies came from ahead.

Chen Yang's heart tightened, and he quietly moved closer to the source of the sound.

He moved slowly, hid behind a bush, and peered towards the source of the sound.

It's him! ?

Why is he here?

Chen Yang was somewhat surprised.

In the center of my field of vision, a tall man holds a baseball bat and assumes a fighting stance.

The ground was littered with zombie remains; clearly, countless zombies had fallen at his hands.

The man looked disheveled, covered in mud and grime, his clothes torn, and sweat pouring down his forehead.

Around him, at least twenty zombies were closing in, their foul-smelling mouths gaping open as they growled.

The man's height was so distinctive that Chen Yang recognized him at a glance as the tall man he had seen at the stables that night.

But why is he here?

Still fighting zombies?

Chen Yang was puzzled.

He speculated that the zombie remains he saw along the way were most likely the work of this man.

At this moment, the man wielded a baseball bat, struggling to fight the zombie.

Each strike was powerful and heavy, repelling the zombies in front of them.

Several zombies were blown off their heads and fell straight to the ground, lifeless.

But his movements gradually slowed down, the sweat on his forehead flowed faster, and his breathing became more rapid.

Clearly, the continuous fighting had nearly exhausted his stamina.

Chen Yang was certain that these were no ordinary zombies.

Each of their attacks contains immense power; a single blow can slam into the ground and leave a deep crater.

One of the zombies let out a low growl, picked up a thick tree trunk, and swung it at the man.

Seeing the tree trunk hurtling towards him, the man hastily retreated a few steps, but it was too late to completely dodge it.

"Whoosh!"

At the critical moment, three sharp spikes pierced the air and pierced the neck of the zombie clinging to the tree trunk.

The tree trunk crashed heavily to the ground, and the zombie didn't even have time to let out a wail before it collapsed.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Several more spikes, like a barrage of bullets, streaked through the air like streaks of light, precisely piercing the heads of several zombies.

Yuumi became the ruler of this battlefield the moment she made her move.

The man stared blankly at the cat that had suddenly appeared before him.

It flew through the air, its tail constantly swishing, each swishing shooting out three sharp spikes.

With each spike fired, a zombie fell.

Neat.

The man gasped for breath, his eyes wide with astonishment as he watched the zombies fall one after another.

"bang"

His muddy hands hung limply, and the baseball bat fell to the ground with a dull thud.
