The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 16

Within the Haotai Hotel, a bloody banquet unfolded. Hu, Bao, and two spirit dogs, all possessed strength to completely overpower ordinary humans. Where they passed, a storm of blood and carnage ensued. Screams were incessant.

Chu Xuan pondered thoughtfully. Zhao Hong had once mentioned the term "high-level zombies." According to him, zombies were categorized into ranks. High-level zombie was merely a general term. Above ordinary zombies were level one zombies, within whom a solid Psionic core had condensed. Their strength was comparable to that of a level one Superhuman. Further above, were the level two zombies, equivalent to level two Superhumans.

However, Zhao Hong had only encountered a few level one zombies, and had never seen a level two zombie.

"Psionic core? If a comparison must be made, would that refer to a Golden Core or a Corpse Core? The Golden Core is only formed by cultivators during the Golden Core phase. A Corpse Core also requires a corpse general equivalent in strength to a Golden Core cultivator. My two corpse puppets are still far from forming a Corpse Core. According to the Superhuman system here, what level of zombie would they be considered?"

Chu Xuan chuckled softly, reluctant to dwell on the matter. After all, they were not part of the same system and could not be directly compared.

Moments later, Hu arrived at the rooftop with six robust men in tow. These men trembled uncontrollably. One of them had even wet himself in fear.

Hu, with a human finger still hanging from the corner of his mouth, swallowed it before roaring a few times to indicate that he had completed his task.

Chu Xuan nodded slightly. During this time, he had prepared six batches of the corpse-refining elixir. With a grand gesture, he directed Hu to throw them into the bathtubs to begin the corpse-refining process.

Meanwhile, he took to the skies on his flying magic tool, circling the Haotai Hotel, in search of areas densely populated with zombies. He had not forgotten his primary objective. That was to set up the Blood Refining Array and sacrifice a massive number of zombies!

Whoosh!

Chu Xuan soared through the sky on his flying sword. With human industrial activities absent, the skies of Blue Star were exceptionally clear.

Chu Xuan looked down at the desolate landscape below. High-rises were overrun with lush vines. It was unclear how these vines had managed to climb hundreds of meters up the buildings. Perhaps, like animals, plants had also been affected by Psionic energy, resulting in slight mutations.

Chu Xuan flew around, occasionally examining the situation below and shaking his head. He was dissatisfied. In many areas, the zombies were too sparsely scattered. Using the Blood Refining Array in such conditions was not cost-effective.

After all, activating the Blood Refining Array required spirit stones! The spirit stones he had could at best sustain the Blood Refining Array for about half an hour.

"Hmm? That place looks promising."

Chu Xuan's eyes brightened. He suddenly discovered a horde of over a thousand zombies gathered in an unfinished building. Moreover, these zombies were relentlessly surging upward as if something was drawing them.

Chu Xuan immediately steered his flying sword closer.

At this moment, in the upper floors of the unfinished building, two robust men in black casual wear were escorting an elderly man, rushing towards the top floor. The elder was drenched in sweat, nearly being carried as they sprinted. Yet, despite this, he clutched tightly to a large box, never loosening his grip.

Moments later, they reached the rooftop. The two men in black produced a walkie-talkie and sent out a distress signal. They dragged all available furniture to barricade the rooftop door, hoping to delay the zombies from breaking through.

The elder collapsed on the ground, gasping for air. After a while, he spoke, "Gentlemen, I'm just a burden. With me, your chances of survival are slim. Take this level three Psionic core, and leave me here. This was obtained at the cost of many lives; it must not be lost." Saying this, he solemnly passed the large box to them.

Both men in black immediately shook their heads. One of them, named Zhuang Qiang, said earnestly, "Professor Zheng, you are the chief of the Life Science Research Institute of Linjiang Province. Your life is more precious than ours. Even if we perish, you must not."
