Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Mutation, Commanding the Horde of Zombies

“Chen Ye, stop dawdling, hurry up and go!”

It’s evident, Tang Zichen is very nervous and a little scared at the moment. After all, she’s just an 18-year-old girl, and the ferocity of the evolved zombie in front of her is indeed terrifying.

Look at those freshmen, many of them are big men, who were very arrogant just now. When they encountered the evolved zombie, they were all scared to death, and in order to escape, they used all their strength.

The cries for help from teammates are ignored by them.

There are even a few despicable guys who deliberately push their teammates towards the zombie, trying to give themselves a chance to survive.

In the face of life and death, the behaviour of these people is truly ugly.

Compared to these people, Tang Zichen is simply unique. Until now, she hasn’t forgotten her mission: to take care of Chen Ye. This is her promise to President Chen!

At this moment, Tang Zichen is also the only one in the audience who dares to stand up to the evolved zombie. Based on this courage and bravery, she surpasses those wastes countless times…

…

Of course, Chen Ye wouldn’t abandon Tang Zichen and run away. He approached Tang Zichen and whispered, “Monitor, don’t worry, I have a secret weapon!”

“Secret weapon?”

Tang Zichen was surprised.

“Yes, absolutely hard and powerful!”

What he said was his own fist, but the girl obviously didn’t think so. Tang Zichen felt tired.

“At this point, can’t you be serious?”

Chen Ye: ???

Who’s not serious?

While speaking, the evolved zombie had already slaughtered its way over. In fact, the zombie didn’t deliberately target Tang Zichen and Chen Ye. On the contrary, those fleeing guys were its priority targets for hunting.

It’s just that many people think Tang Zichen is more powerful, so subconsciously they ran over here, leading the evolved zombie over.

At this moment, the evolved zombie is less than ten metres away from Tang Zichen and Chen Ye.

Tang Zichen didn’t care about Chen Ye and immediately focused her attention, emitting a green light all over her body. The next moment—

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Under Tang Zichen’s control, the two peach wood swords attacked the evolved zombie like arrows piercing through the air. The girl was doing her best.

Obviously, the pressure brought by the evolved zombie is too great.

However, Chen Ye didn’t look favourably upon Tang Zichen’s attack.

In the movie, peach wood swords can only restrain the lowest level of zombies. When encountering slightly stronger zombies, even if a Taoist priest with mana tries to wield them, the peach wood swords are still not very effective and are often broken.

Since the zombies in the secret realm follow the settings from those movies.

Then the attack of the peach wood swords should be no exception…

Chen Ye’s judgement was correct, the two peach wood swords controlled by Tang Zichen hit the evolved zombie like lightning but the result was that they were directly bounced off by the powerful defence of the evolved zombie and fell to the ground.

Not only did they fail to penetrate the defence, they couldn’t even leave a mark.

The evolved zombie didn’t even look at the peach wood swords, and its steps didn’t stop as it pounced towards this side.

Tang Zichen’s pretty face turned pale immediately. The evolved zombie is already close at hand.

Tang Zichen can even smell the rotten smell emanating from the zombie’s body.

And the zombie won’t show mercy just because Tang Zichen is a beauty, it strikes directly with a claw.

Whoosh!

The sound of breaking through the air. It can be imagined that once this claw hits Tang Zichen, the girl will surely meet her end.

Tang Zichen also activated her telekinesis, trying to stop the evolved zombie’s attack, but it was useless. She is still too weak in spiritual power at the moment, unable to shake the evolved zombie…

At a critical moment, a strong hand pulled Tang Zichen, letting the girl escape this fatal blow.

Then, Chen Ye protected the girl behind him, grabbed a handful of sticky rice, and threw it at the evolved zombie.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As soon as the sticky rice touched the evolved zombie, it crackled like firecrackers, sparks flying everywhere.

“Roar!”

The evolved zombie also made a painful sound and took two steps back.

It didn’t hurt it, but it made it a little uncomfortable. Its eyes looked at Chen Ye with a puzzled expression.

It probably didn’t expect that there would be something to make it feel pain.

Its behaviour confirms Chen Ye’s judgement of it: stronger than Mr. Ren!

In the movie, Mr. Ren, after turning into a zombie and evolving, still fears sticky rice. Stepping on it would make him scream in pain and dare not get closer.

Perhaps because Mr. Ren turned into a zombie and evolved too quickly, from birth to evolution, he didn’t have enough time, unlike the zombie in front of them.

…

Just using sticky rice to attack the zombie was Chen Ye’s final test to determine the strength of the zombie in front of them. He still needs to be cautious.

Now, Chen Ye can finally relax a little. The evolved zombie in front of him, although more powerful than Mr. Ren in the movie, is not too strong. He can handle it completely!

Chen Ye moved his wrist a bit, then suddenly stopped.

It’s not time for him to take action yet, there are still people around.

They haven’t all died yet and these people were very arrogant just now!

They not only want to kill Tang Zichen, but also don’t want to let go of him, a weak and innocent student, and want to kill him all.

More arrogant than workers from a certain clothing company.

For these people, tonight, even if the zombies don’t kill them all, Chen Ye will smash the remaining survivors into minced meat!

In Chen Ye’s dictionary, there are no annoying words like “saint” and “repay kindness with ingratitude”.

Next, Chen Ye picked up a handful of sticky rice, didn’t throw it out, and held it in his hand to scare the evolved zombie.

“Let’s retreat, don’t disturb its killing spree.”

At this moment, Tang Zichen looked at Chen Ye with some admiration for his performance just now, and subconsciously followed Chen Ye and retreated to the side.

The evolved zombie didn’t think too much about it, and seeing Chen Ye and Tang Zichen not running, it cooperated and went to chase and kill others.

However, being stopped by Chen Ye just now delayed it for a while, and many people had already run far away.

Moreover, although these freshmen were panicked, their brains were not stupid. They knew that gathering together would only lead to faster death, and dispersing was the only way to survive.

So, their escape directions were different in all directions.

At this point, even if the evolved zombie moves at a fast pace, it’s impossible for it alone to chase and kill everyone tonight.

Chen Ye frowned, he certainly wouldn’t just watch these short-lived ghosts run away.

Just as he was about to take action himself. Suddenly, the evolved zombie stopped chasing and howled to the sky.

“Howl!!”

Like a husky, the howl of the evolved zombie is very penetrating, not only spreading far away, but also echoing back. Then, an unexpected situation occurred.

Many small zombies appeared in the darkness, jumping and bouncing, converging from all directions.

They just happened to block the way for those freshmen.

Although these freshmen are all formidable, they can win against small zombies in one-on-one situations using alloy weapons.

But, facing the large number of small zombies that rushed over after hearing the sound, they are simply too many…

At least twice as many as these people.

Faced with so many small zombies, the freshmen simply cannot break through and can only run back.

At this miraculous scene, it immediately made Chen Ye’s eyes shine.
