Chapter 198: Guard Flesh and Blood Corpse King

Chapter 198: Chapter 197: Guard Flesh and Blood Corpse King

The Island Nation, the country that once tried to restart its imperial dream through the struggle for Strange Artifacts, has now completely turned into a wasteland.

Along the coastline, small boats, inflatable rafts, and even military landing craft are docked in dense clusters.

These are Hunters from neighboring countries and even as far as Southeast Asia and Australia, all stepping onto this land of death shrouded in purple mist.

And their goal is only one — the Flesh and Blood Corpse King.

The news spread from the mouths of those Island Nation survivors who drifted across the sea.

They used their own lives as trade, using the existence of the Flesh and Blood Corpse King as their final bargaining chip, begging neighboring national Factions for refuge.

And those Factions, after obtaining the intelligence they wanted, naturally wouldn’t keep these Island Nation people.

After all, the Island Nation had offended too many countries before.

“The Flesh and Blood Corpse King…”

A burly Hunter stood by the shore, gazing at the Tokyo ruins in the distance shrouded in a faint purple mist, a greedy light flashing in his eyes.

“I heard its body size exceeds seventy meters, and its wingspan reaches a hundred meters; it’s a fused creature similar to a dragon.”

A lean man next to him licked his lips and chimed in.

“Its strength is close to that of a Hunter with an SSS-Level Talent.”

“Once such a creature is tamed and a contract is signed…”

He didn’t finish, but everyone understood what he meant.

Whoever obtains this War Pet will become the number one person below SSS-Rank Hunters!

Such temptation is enough to drive anyone mad.

Becoming stronger means having more of a say in this world dominated by the Main God Game.

One’s status and worth would also skyrocket.

Moreover, the War Pet System is about to be updated; with a once-in-a-lifetime contract opportunity, who wouldn’t want to seize the strongest one?

This time, everyone landing on the island is part of a team led by an SS-Rank Hunter.

They brought a large amount of firearms and equipment, preparing to launch a bloody hunt.

Every team is determined to win.

But every team also knows—

This will be a brutal slaughter.

“Move!”

A one-eyed brawny man waved his hand, and more than twenty team members behind him quickly assembled, advancing toward the ruins of Tokyo.

“Since we’re already here, there’s no reason not to go in. Let’s first scope out the situation before we make our move!”

He clearly didn’t want to be the bellwether and intended to incite all the teams to act together.

However, they hadn’t gone far—

In the distant purple mist, shadowy silhouettes appeared.

One.

Two.

Dozens.

Densely packed.

Those silhouettes stumbled along, appearing and disappearing in the mist.

Although their specific forms couldn’t be seen clearly, the sheer number was already enough to make one’s skin crawl.

“The T-virus?”

The way those silhouettes walked and their posture reminded them of the virus that could destroy the human world.

That was the zombie virus from the Resident Evil dungeon.

“No wonder the Island Nation perished directly. I just didn’t expect them to be so crazy as to dare use such a thing!”

Everyone was no stranger to these Flesh Zombies.

Although the zombies before them were even more distorted and hideous, the unique form belonging to the T-virus was still easy to recognize.

“Is that it?”

A young Hunter sneered and drew a pistol from his waist.

“Such low-level trash dares to block the way?”

He raised his hand and fired a shot, accurately hitting a zombie’s head.

The zombie fell to the ground.

He boastfully blew on the muzzle, clearly not taking these low-level zombies seriously.

After all, ordinary zombies from Resident Evil couldn’t even break through a Hunter’s defense.

And they were no longer entities that such low-level creatures could even hope to touch.

But the next second—

More zombies surged out of the mist.

Not dozens.

Hundreds.

Thousands.

Even tens of thousands.

Densely packed, covering the sky and earth.

The young Hunter’s smile froze on his face.

“Fire! Everyone, open fire!”

The one-eyed brawny man roared, being the first to raise his assault rifle and spray bullets into the zombie horde!

For a moment, gunfire erupted and flames flickered!

Zombies fell in rows, but more surged from the mist as if endless!

“Advance! Don’t get bogged down! Our target is the Flesh and Blood Corpse King!”

The team began to advance laboriously into the depths of Tokyo.

Behind them, other teams encountered the same predicament.

Gunshots, explosions, and roars echoed over the ruins that had been silent for a long time.

…

Meanwhile, deep within Tokyo, in the basement of a half-collapsed skyscraper.

This was the lair of the Flesh and Blood Corpse King.

Dozens of giant Flesh Zombies lay quietly around, surrounding the massive figure in the center.

They were the corpse king’s guards, its most loyal servants, currently protecting the corpse king during its final transformation.

And in the center of their protection—

The sleeping corpse king had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to before.

Its body was even larger, its length already exceeding eighty meters.

The dense palm-shaped scales on its body had now fused into a higher-density dark purple exoskeleton, with eerie patterns flowing on the surface.

Those dragon wings were even wider, and the human faces on the wing membrane had completely fused, forming a layer of incredibly tough Wing Armor.

The most startling part was its head.

The head, originally similar to the Ghost Prison Myriad Skeleton Mad Dragon, was currently undergoing a certain mutation.

On both sides of its forehead, two bulges were slowly growing, as if something was about to burst out.

Inside its body, the special embryo from the Xenomorph Queen was completely fusing with its flesh.

Once the fusion was complete—

It would no longer be a simple corpse king.

But a brand-new species possessing the Xenomorph Queen’s bloodline, T-virus enhancement, and infinite evolutionary potential!

It was also a Xenomorph Guard belonging exclusively to the Xenomorph Queen!

Outside the lair, the faint sounds of gunfire and explosions could be heard.

Those greedy Hunters were approaching step by step.

But the corpse king still slept.

It needed time.

And its guards would buy enough time for it.
