The Zombie King, struck by Jiang He’s space condensation, couldn’t dodge and ultimately had to endure the attacks from Chu Jiangyue and others.
Bearing the attacks of several people simultaneously, even the Zombie King was overwhelmed and spat blood upon realizing the situation.
The green blood was strikingly noticeable, underscoring the fact that the Zombie King was a completely different species from humans.
The Zombie King’s body quickly acquired numerous wounds, the most severe being the several holes punctured through his chest directly by Chu Jiangyue’s vines.
To repair these wounds, the energy needed by the Zombie King would certainly not be insignificant.
Not to mention the other wounds, big and small, all needing energy for repair.
This time, after repairing the wounds, the Zombie King’s aura diminished significantly.
Chu Jiangyue knew their strategy was working, and the corners of her lips curled slightly: "This strategy works, let’s continue!"
With Chu Jiangyue’s assurance, Jiang He and the others were bolstered with confidence, initially having approached with a trial-and-error attitude.
But the Zombie King, deserving his title, realized his internal energy was dwindling after twice repairing his wounds.
The Zombie King floated in mid-air, letting out a furious roar, attracting all the zombies underneath him, including the high-level ones.
Seeing the stance, Chu Jiangyue knew the situation was grim.
"We can’t let him near other zombies; he’s trying to use them to help recover the strength he spent on wound repair!"
The Zombie King evolved faster than other zombies probably because he consumed more zombies than the others.
But this doesn’t mean he won’t continue feeding on other zombies even as a Zombie King.
If he restores his internal strength, all their previous efforts will have been in vain.
"Strike while he’s weak; let’s hurry with a second wave of attack.
Repairing the wounds again with even less power within him will significantly increase our chances of killing him."
Jiang He, the mastermind of Shen Zhigui’s five-member team, quickly devised a counter-strategy.
Without wasting time, the group moved closer to the Zombie King and launched another round of attacks before he could absorb other zombies’ crystal core energy.
This time, the Zombie King couldn’t bear it any longer and rushed toward Chu Jiangyue’s vine wall.
The blue-gray hand with black, long fingernails grabbed the vines forcefully, snapping several of Chu Jiangyue’s vine walls in an instant.
Under such circumstances, it was only a matter of time before the Zombie King destroyed the vine wall and attacked, so Chu Jiangyue decisively abandoned the vine wall and retreated with everyone.
As Chu Jiangyue and her team withdrew from the vine wall, the Zombie King abandoned attacking the vine wall and lunged toward Chu Jiangyue.
Chu Jiangyue had, of course, already planned her next move.
Just as the Zombie King was about to attack them, they swiftly lowered their hovering height, slipping into Jianglin Hotel’s protective shield.
The protective shield of Jianglin Hotel was impenetrable even for the Zombie King.
In the end, the Zombie King could only watch Chu Jiangyue and others within the protective shield, raging impotently.
However, Chu Jiangyue and her team couldn’t stay within the protective shield forever; their plan was to kill the Zombie King in one go.
Once a Zombie King is dead, it takes time for the next Zombie King to evolve.
What they can do is build Jianglin Hotel’s safe passage before the next Zombie King evolves, letting the world know of Jianglin Hotel’s existence, offering a life free from food worries.
Yet, this is only part of Chu Jiangyue’s plan; the most important goal is to revive Blue Star, gradually transforming it back to its pre-apocalyptic state.
Although it’s Chu Jiangyue’s wish, the survival of humanity cannot depend on a single person’s provision forever.
Thinking of this, Chu Jiangyue’s gaze toward the Zombie King became increasingly firm with killing intent.
"First, absorb the crystal core to restore some superpower."
Shen Zhigui noticed Chu Jiangyue watching the Zombie King and quickly had Jiang He fetch a Wood Element Crystal Core for Chu Jiangyue.
"Seize the moment; let’s wound it again."
Chu Jiangyue had a hunch that injuring the Zombie King once more would allow her, with her superpower level, to engage in direct combat with the Zombie King.
With the addition of others, they wouldn’t fear failing to kill the Zombie King.
Nevertheless, the Zombie King, feeling his internal energy continue to drain, began summoning zombies to close the distance.
At this time, the Zombie King wasn’t in a hurry to attack Chu Jiangyue and others but rather hid within the zombie horde.
Chu Jiangyue could pinpoint the Zombie King’s location, but with so many zombies in the way, their attacks would inevitably lose some effectiveness.
But there’s no time to overthink; Chu Jiangyue summoned the Magic Bus, signaling everyone to board.
Once they were all aboard, the Magic Bus swiftly exited Jianglin Hotel’s entrance.
Outside Jianglin Hotel, there were too many zombies; even searching for the Zombie King, they couldn’t afford to recklessly charge out alone.
Without any defense, upon leaving Jianglin Hotel, they’d likely be overrun by zombies, exhausted and eventually torn apart, devoured.
Though Chu Jiangyue and her team were formidable, humans aren’t perpetual motion machines, thus opting to ride the Magic Bus.
Without extra words, Chu Jiangyue instructed the Magic Bus to locate the Zombie King.
The Magic Bus responded cheerfully, rampaging through the zombie horde, eventually knocking the Zombie King, hiding among zombies, out of the way.
"Hah!!"
The Zombie King glared angrily at the Magic Bus, his expression visibly darkened.
"Looks like the Magic Bus fares better against the Zombie King."
Lin Xuyuan watched the Zombie King, displaced by the Magic Bus, and felt incredibly safe inside it.
Yet, Chu Jiangyue shook her head: "The Magic Bus’s defense is strong, but its attack power is insufficient."
The Mage who crafted the Magic Bus intended it as public transportation in the Magic Plane, prioritizing passenger safety with robust defense.
However, in terms of attack, since the Magic Bus mainly operates within safe zones of the Magic Plane, this aspect is relatively weaker.
This adaptability for the Magic Plane translates here to retaining defense, with negligible attack power.
"Take advantage of the Zombie King’s mental lapse, strike now!"
Chu Jiangyue’s mind was singularly focused on the phrase "kill the Zombie King."
Shen Zhigui was the first to respond, quickly moving to Chu Jiangyue’s side and staying by the same window.
