Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

A deafening roar suddenly came from afar, echoing through the empty street. Xu Hao instantly recognized the voice, and alarm bells rang in his mind – it was the Corpse King!

He had killed many in the Corpse King's Palace and was well aware of its power.

However, at that time, Xu Hao had the powerful mage Zi Yu by his side, who could easily deflect his lightning spells without a sound. Now, the two beside him—Shi Shaowei wielding two golden greatswords, which look cool, are actually less efficient than a level 19 warrior's offensive swordsmanship. Su Qing's wind blades are probably only comparable to Zi Yu's small fireballs.

Lacking powerful offensive means, the Corpse King was indeed a tough opponent for the three of them at this point.

However, for Shi Shaowei and Su Qing, the sound was like a bolt from the blue. They had never heard the roar of the Corpse King before, and at this moment they felt an invisible pressure coming towards them, as if a mountain was pressing down on their chests.

The oppressive force contained in that voice sent chills down their spines, and a suffocating sense of pressure filled the air. All three felt difficulty breathing, as if an invisible hand was gripping their throats.

"What... what is this thing? By any measure, it should be an A-level anomaly, right?!" Shi Shaowei's voice trembled slightly.

Xu Hao did not answer Shi Shaowei's question immediately, but quickly climbed onto the roof of a two-story building in the courtyard. He carefully squatted down and squinted to observe the situation in the distance.

About two hundred meters away, a massive black shadow gradually appeared. It was an astonishingly large zombie king, over three meters tall. Rusty iron chains were wrapped around its thick arms, emitting a grating metallic scraping sound as it moved. Xu Hao noticed that the zombie king's skin was an unusual deep black, and its muscles were extremely well-developed. Based on his experience in the Zombie King's Palace, Xu Hao judged that what was before him was clearly a top-tier zombie king.

Even more unsettling was the fact that the ordinary zombies around seemed to be summoned by some force. They all gathered towards the Zombie King, and even those zombies that had been blocking the courtyard entrance left their posts. Xu Hao watched as hordes of zombies surged toward the Zombie King like a tidal wave, as if worshipping their new king.

Xu Hao quickly slid down from the roof and jumped back into the yard. His brows were furrowed as he rapidly considered countermeasures. Turning to Shi Shaowei and Su Qing, Xu Hao lowered his voice and said, "The situation isn't good. There's a large one over there, which looks like the leader, and it's gathering nearby zombies. We lack effective means of attack right now; we have to think of a way."

He gestured for the two to crouch down, and the three of them formed a circle to avoid attracting the attention of the zombies outside.

Shi Shaowei frowned and asked in a low voice, "So what are your thoughts? Should we escape now, or try to deal with it?"

Xu Hao pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up. He said, "I have an idea. Captain Shi, can you contact the military? We need heavy firepower support, such as heavy artillery or bombers."

Shi Shaowei paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sure, I have a direct emergency contact channel with the military. But... what do you plan to do?"

Xu Hao quickly pulled out his phone, opened the map app, and carefully searched the surrounding terrain. His finger swiped rapidly across the screen, finally stopping at a location. "Look, there's an open valley here, about 3 kilometers from us. I can lure the Zombie King and that horde of zombies there. Then I can have the army's heavy firepower go over and blast them to smithereens!"

Su Qing frowned and said, "Are you crazy? That's too dangerous!"

Shi Shaowei immediately objected: "No, Xu Hao. I know what you're thinking, but you're too important to the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs right now. We can't take this risk. Your ability to make pills and talismans is key to humanity's future fight against supernatural beings. Besides, luring monsters is inherently a high-risk operation. Putting aside everything else, if so many zombies surround you, they could kill you instantly, let alone lure any monsters!"

Xu Hao looked at the two of them firmly, his tone resolute: "I know the risks, but I'm confident. Trust me, I have a way to escape. In the current situation, if we don't take action, what if that big guy gathers the zombies and pushes them directly into the city?"

Then, staring into Shi Shaowei's eyes, he said, word by word, "Brother Shi! Believe me, if I dare to do this, I'm definitely confident I can do it! Don't forget! What are our responsibilities!?"

Shi Shaowei and Su Qing exchanged a glance, both seeing hesitation and worry in each other's eyes. Finally, Shi Shaowei took a deep breath and said, "Alright, if you insist. But you must promise me that if things go wrong, you will evacuate immediately, understand? I will not allow the military to open fire until I receive word that you are safe!"

Xu Hao nodded solemnly: "Understood. Now, Brother Shi, please contact the military immediately to arrange fire support. Su Qing, pay attention to my signals at all times. Once I give the order, evacuate with Captain Shi immediately!"

The three quickly divided the tasks, and Xu Hao stood up and stretched his limbs.

Xu Hao is not a reckless person; he must have had his own reasons for coming up with this idea.

Shi Shaowei quickly pulled out a specially made satellite phone and dialed a complex number. He lowered his voice and reported the current situation to the military in concise and professional language. During the call, Shi Shaowei's expression shifted between serious and relieved, and he would occasionally nod to confirm certain details.

Su Qing quickly climbed to the top floor of the small building, her movements light and agile, like a nimble cat. Upon reaching the platform, she immediately lay down, minimizing her exposure. She pulled a small pair of binoculars from her waist and began carefully observing her surroundings.

Su Qing's gaze swept quickly across the entire village. The zombies that had been scattered everywhere had almost all disappeared. Only a few scattered zombies remained on the empty streets, looking like individuals that were either immobile or slow to react.

She noticed that occasionally, some zombies in the horde would push and shove each other, even fighting, seemingly vying for a closer position to the zombie king. This eerie scene of "worship" sent a chill down Su Qing's spine.

About five minutes later, Shi Shaowei hung up the phone and turned to Xu Hao and Su Qing, saying, "It's all arranged. As long as we provide the precise coordinates, they promise to carry out a precision strike within 10 minutes. That area will become a sea of ​​fire, and no living thing will be able to survive."

Meanwhile, Xu Hao was making final preparations for the upcoming operation. He repeatedly checked the sun water, talismans, and other necessary items in his backpack.

Finally, Xu Hao closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and adjusted his mindset and state of mind. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was filled with determination and confidence.

Xu Hao said to Shi Shaowei and Su Qing, "Remember, no matter what happens, you must stick to the plan. When it's time to evacuate, don't hesitate!"

After speaking, Xu Hao easily vaulted over the courtyard wall, landing almost silently. He cautiously looked around, and after confirming that there were no zombies nearby for the time being, he quickly moved towards the direction of the Zombie King.
