Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 37
Chapter 37: The Attack of the Zombie King
Things have become very clear.
Back then, Lee Jong-hyun dug out the heart of a zombie in the secret realm, using this method to control the zombies, make them drink blood, and turn hundreds of living people into small zombies.
Later, that zombie drank too much blood, successfully evolved, and caused the situation to spiral out of control! Lee Jong-hyun ran away, but harmed countless people from his own cohort.
When Lee Jong-hyun came out, he probably realized that he was doomed, and even his family was in danger. So, he found a way to send his brother, Lee Jae-rong, to the Thai Country, where he could live in hiding, change his identity, and live a new life.
At the same time, he handed the zombie’s heart over to his brother, Lee Jae-rong.
And Lee Jae-rong was single-mindedly seeking revenge for his family, finally waiting for this opportunity in the secret realm.
Coincidentally, Lee Jae-rong, this guy, turned out to be in the same cohort as Chen Ye and Tang Zichen, and stumbled upon the plans of other countries to assassinate Tang Zichen.
So he hid among these proud youths, waiting for most of them to gather before revealing himself.
The purpose? Naturally, it was to make these elite students from various countries feel fear and despair before they died because Lee Jae-rong had felt it before. So he wanted these people to taste it too!
Even if Tang Zichen hadn’t been there, Lee Jae-rong would have awakened the evolved zombie this time. Chen Ye and Tang Zichen just happened to be there.
…
Things have developed to this point, it’s really unexpected!
Originally, Tang Zichen was the protagonist of this secret realm. Unexpectedly, she was actually a supporting character, and the real protagonist was someone else…
Such a reversal made many people present feel somewhat unbelievable and incredulous.
“That damned yellow monkey!!”
The white youth from America was angry, glaring at Lee Jae-rong.
“After I kill the monster you mentioned, I’m going to twist off your head and shove it up your ass!”
Faced with the threat, Lee Jae-rong remained indifferent, completely unconcerned.
“You foolish white pig, do you think you can still live? The evolved jumping zombie’s power far exceeds your imagination.”
Lee Jae-rong laughed heartily, looking at everyone with anticipation.
Seeing everyone coldly staring at him, Lee Jae-rong added, “What, want to kill me? Then come on! With so many of you accompanying me to my grave, I’m very satisfied.”
He remained calm, showing no fear, obviously resigned to death.
Faced with someone who wasn’t even afraid of death, the crowd was at a loss.
Someone noticed the still-beating heart on the ground and immediately said, “Destroy the monster’s heart quickly!”
People rushed forward and used alloy weapons to crush the heart. Unexpectedly, as soon as the heart was destroyed, a roar came from afar.
“Roar!”
This time, the monster’s voice seemed to carry anger, with great penetrating power.
The crowd trembled at the sound. Moreover, it seemed much closer than before.
This indicated that the monster was quickly approaching them. Some timid ones were already frightened and ready to run.
Seeing this, Lee Jae-rong laughed heartily and said inexplicably, “Hey, skinny guys, don’t run away!”
At this point, nobody paid attention to him. Others noticed their fleeing companions and also began to have second thoughts.
A youth suddenly had an insight and immediately shouted loudly, “Nobody should run! You should have heard about the power of this monster from your teachers at school. If we unite, there’s still hope of killing it. If we scatter and run, we’ll die even faster! Its speed of action is definitely much faster than yours.”
With this, the youth managed to calm everyone down. Everyone understood that his words made sense and decided to work together to kill the monster first!
As for the target of this mission, Tang Zichen, it was temporarily forgotten…
Even fools knew that confronting Tang Zichen at this moment would only result in mutual destruction, making it easier for the monster to kill them.
Seeing everyone’s change of heart, Lee Jae-rong saw it all. He said nothing, just sneered, then looked expectantly into the distance.
…
Phew!
Suddenly, a chilly wind blew in. Instantly, the temperature dropped several degrees around them.
Many people felt the chill creeping in and shivered involuntarily.
Chen Ye, standing next to Tang Zichen, frowned slightly and immediately looked around, his eyes vigilant.
According to the plot of the movie.
Usually, when the cold wind starts blowing, it means that the zombies are close…
To be honest, if it weren’t for Lee Jae-rong’s trouble, Chen Ye wouldn’t be afraid at all, facing the encirclement of these people before him.
As a fellow newcomer, he was well aware of the strength of the other newcomers.
If it weren’t for Lee Jae-rong jumping out, he would have rubbed all these little punks into the ground by now.
Now, the evolved zombie was about to appear, making Chen Ye a little worried. Mainly because he didn’t know the strength of this zombie.
He was cautious and prudent, not knowing the enemy’s strength, naturally feeling it was safer to be careful.
Right now, he hasn’t shed his hair. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
“Squad leader, if things go south later, I’ll take you and go, you remember to cooperate,” Chen Ye said softly.
With his current speed, running at full speed would definitely be dramatic. Although Chen Ye hadn’t specifically tested it, he was very confident in his ability to carry a person.
Moreover, Tang Zichen’s figure was relatively slim, estimated to weigh only about a hundred pounds.
This was still because she was tall. With a weight of a hundred pounds, it was not an exaggeration to say that Chen Ye could lift her without using his hands…
“You want to take me away?”
Tang Zichen was puzzled by his words.
“How do you want me to cooperate with you?”
“Uh!” Chen Ye hesitated for a moment and said, “Don’t struggle, it’s best to hold onto me actively. I’m afraid that if I move at full speed, you’ll feel pain (air resistance)!”
Tang Zichen: “…”
You’d better say something serious!
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed.
“The monster… the monster is coming!”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw a shadow, appearing in the left front at some unknown time.
This shadow stared at everyone, motionless, standing there as if it were easy.
In the moonlight, everyone could barely see the outline of the shadow.
The first thing that caught everyone’s eye was a pair of exaggerated fangs, sharper and longer than the canines of large felines…
It was wrapped in tattered robes, and there was a lot of black skin exposed on its body, with a messy, straw-like head of hair, and a severely peeling black face underneath…
Most astonishing were its eyes. Unlike other zombies that were crimson, just like human eyes, the pupils were pitch black.
At this moment, its eyes were fixed on everyone, lively and seemingly intelligent.
