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

Inside the cemetery, those short hundred seconds felt like an eternity.

The raging fire devoured countless zombies, their mournful roars drowned out by the flames.

The zombies turned to ashes and vanished with the wind.

The Hellfire Chili Pepper has disappeared.

The burning trees were still raging, producing thick smoke, and the flames illuminated half the sky.

"What kind of plant is this? How did Chen Yang get in?"

In the firelight, Isaac's expression was no longer flustered, but instead filled with an irrepressible excitement.

His eyes gleamed in the firelight, as if he had found the greatest joy.

"That figure... there's no mistake, it's Chili Pepper... How was he able to evade my Magnet-shroom's detection?"

"Chen Yang! I know you're nearby! Come out now!"

Isaac shouted at the burning forest.

Amidst the flickering firelight, Chen Yang's figure slowly emerged.

"Hahaha! It really was you..."

Isaac's voice abruptly stopped.

His body fell straight forward.

Behind him, Sun Yue put away the baseball bat he had raised.

"This guy was too noisy and worthless, so I killed him. You don't mind, do you?"

Sun Yue grinned.

Chen Yang shook his head, his gaze passing through the flames as he surveyed the devastated cemetery.

An hour ago, using the skills of the Zombie Imitation Man, Chen Yang transformed into an ordinary zombie and entered the Dead Mountain Range.

His original intention was simply to protect Sun Yue in secret and take the opportunity to kill the last member of the zombie camp.

He overheard almost everything in their conversation.

Unexpectedly, the zombie offensive broke out ahead of schedule.

So Chen Yang took the opportunity to infiltrate the zombie army and released the Hellfire Chili Pepper in the very center of the cemetery.

No one expected that the gathering place would become their mortal enemy.

Ashes continued to fall, writing fragments of ghostly inscriptions on the ground.

"Roar!"

A roar pierced the sky.

In the firelight, a zombie stepped out.

He wore a charred pointed hat, and his purple robe was tattered.

The charred mustache trembled slightly, and the zombie lord roared furiously with a ferocious expression.

"Damn it! A bunch of useless bastards."

He stood alone in the cemetery, his face contorted as he looked at the ruins around him.

When Sun Yue first saw a zombie speak, he was stunned.

"Holy crap, I thought that guy was delusional, telling me the zombie lord could talk... but it's actually true?!"

Compared to Sun Yue, Chen Yang was much calmer.

He looked at the strangely dressed zombie lord in front of him, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

Chen Yang once encountered three intelligent zombies.

The zombie dealer, Rand, the zombie manager of District One, and George, who handed Yuumi over to him.

Let's set aside the zombie traffickers for now.

George's strength is unknown and he is shrouded in mystery.

Rand, on the other hand, is so powerful it's suffocating!

That terrifying and oppressive force far exceeded that of ordinary zombies.

He had estimated that Rand's strength far exceeded that of a third-tier zombie.

The zombie lord before him... was the fourth intelligent zombie he had encountered.

Intelligent zombies are mostly extremely dangerous!

Chen Yang made a decision and quickly placed lava nuts in front of him.

"Damn it! Damn it! We've been preparing for so long, why did this happen! Damn it!"

Before the zombie lord could finish speaking, a gigantic zombie suddenly moved. Its charred body, like brittle charcoal, slowly extended a broken arm, pleading for help from the zombie lord.

"roll."

He turned around and kicked the zombie's head away.

The charred head traced an arc before crashing to the ground, breaking in two.

"Humans? Subjects?"

The zombie lord turned his head and glanced at Chen Yang and his companion outside the cemetery.

"A bunch of cannon fodder, they're gone, they're gone... I'll have to take action eventually anyway..."

He muttered to himself as he reached into his robes, as if rummaging through something.

"Whether you can hypnotize two subjects or not, I want you to experience the deepest fear, I want you to tear the town to pieces with your own hands."

Chen Yang and Sun Yue exchanged a glance upon seeing the zombie lord's movements, their expressions wary and their muscles tense.

They were prepared to flee if things went wrong.

However, the scene took a strange turn—

The zombie lord searched for a long time but couldn't find anything.

His expression froze instantly, a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

"Where's the pocket watch?"

The zombie lord's eyes suddenly darkened.

"Pocket watch?"

Upon hearing this word, Sun Yue suddenly remembered something.

He quickly turned over Isaac's body, took a worn-out pocket watch from his pocket, and waved it.

Is this what you're looking for?

The zombie lord's face turned dark the moment he saw the pocket watch.

"Why... damn player, I shouldn't have trusted him!"

He couldn't understand why his pocket watch was in Isaac's hands.

In reality, Isaac simply rummaged through his pockets while he was resting and casually took the pocket watch.

But for a hypnotist zombie, losing the pocket watch is like an imp losing Gagantell, or a balloon zombie losing its balloon.

"Chen Yang, I heard from that guy from the zombie faction that this zombie lord launched the zombie frenzy to heal his injuries."

Sun Yue said in a low voice.

"That means he's not at his peak right now. He needs to slaughter an entire town to recover from his injuries; he must be very weak!"

The zombie lord overheard their whisper and burst into laughter.

"I am indeed injured, so what?"

His laughter was sinister, and his tone was full of disdain.

"Even if I'm not even one percent of my peak strength, I still have the power of a Tier 3 zombie!"

"Two mere test subjects... dare to ride roughshod over me..."

As he finished speaking, the zombie lord removed his hood, and his cloak fell to the ground.

Blood vessels spread wildly, and crimson covered his eyes.

This is blood-shattering!

Chen Yang was greatly shocked, and his expression changed drastically.

He was extremely familiar with the Bloodthirst technique, which greatly, even several times over, boosted his combat power in a very short period of time, leaving him in a state of extreme weakness after the effect ended...

Normally, this is a trump card that should only be used in desperate situations!

But this zombie lord actually unleashed a powerful attack right from the start!

Chen Yang had no time to react...

Before he could even speak, Sun Yue beside him instantly became a headless corpse.

"Dong..."

The head rolled to the ground.

The body fell straight down with a dull thud.

Chen Yang's eyes were bloodshot, and in an instant, all the cards in his hand came out.

Lava Nut, imitator copycat Lava Nut, Dawn Garlic.

Three plants surrounded Chen Yang.

The Flowerpot Wizard appeared beside Chen Yang.

The zombie lord's figure vanished completely, disappearing into the firelight.
