The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 23

After a prolonged reflection, Wang Yong at last declared, "Those creatures precisely block the highway stretching from Linjiang military base to us. Even a small team from Linjiang forces was overwhelmed by their assault; only a single soul managed to flee to safety. I propose that we should not act with haste. The priority now is to gather intelligence, to ascertain their numbers, and locate their lair. When Linjiang dispatches more troops, we shall encircle and utterly annihilate these monsters!"

Hearing this, Wang Gangjian nodded his approval, "A sound plan. Let us proceed accordingly. Let us take Song and probe their actual strength."

Wang Yong nodded and promptly set about making the arrangements.

A short while later, the trio climbed into a van.

They were Wang Gangjian, Wang Yong, and Song Dayi. Joined by Tang Jinchuan. Together, they constituted all the superhumans of the Black Blade Security Company.

However, the company always required someone to hold the fort. This duty was assigned to Tang Jinchuan.

Yet, before the van could depart, a figure staggered towards them, pursued by a gasping, portly man.

"Brother Jian, he insisted on coming," Tang Jinchuan expressed helplessly.

Wang Gangjian turned to the pallid man before him and sighed gently, "Zhuang Qiang, with such severe injuries, you should not be here."

The man was Zhuang Qiang. After he and Sun Meng had escorted Zheng Baoshan back to the Linjiang Province Institute of Life Sciences, he had received orders to lead a Linjiang military squad southward once more to aid Black Blade Security in clearing advanced zombies from East Lake City.

Yet, they had scarcely traversed the highway when a pack of gargantuan wolves ambushed them.

Apart from him, the rest of the squad perished.

Zhuang Qiang, a first-level superhuman with formidable physical prowess, had managed to escape and hide, narrowly evading the wolves' pursuit and finally reaching Black Blade Security.

He bellowed, "I must go. The brethren of the Linjiang army can not perish in vain."

Wang Gangjian firmly shook his head, "No, your wounds are too grievous. It is best you remain here to heal. Once you are mended, you shall have your chance for vengeance."

Zhuang Qiang gritted his teeth, "My gift is the Wood Spirit; I can scout through the plants. Are you not seeking to ascertain the reality of those giant wolves? I am most apt for this task."

Wang Gangjian and the others exchanged looks, one eyebrow arched.

Supernatural talents are indeed diverse and peculiar, each individual being unique.

Zhuang Qiang's capability to employ plants as his scouts was indeed most suitable for the mission.

Wang Gangjian nodded solemnly, "Very well, then accompany us, and we will safeguard you throughout."

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

At that, Zhuang Qiang finally allowed a small smile to surface and boarded the vehicle.

The van dusted the road behind and sped directly towards the northernmost highway leading to East Lake City.

East Lake City was but a modest town, its only conduit to the Linjiang forces being the highway that spanned its length.

Every instance of support from the Linjiang military had traversed this very route. Should an alternative path be adopted, both efficiency and safety would markedly decline.

Thus, all impediments along this highway needed to be eradicated, including the extraordinary animals that had evolved under the influence of Psionic forces.

As Wang Gangjian and his companions departed from Black Blade Security, a sword's hum resonated above the highway amidst the mists.

A figure emerged—Chu Xuan!

Chu Xuan chose a flat segment of the road to alight upon.

The highway appeared frequently traveled, with abandoned vehicles dragged to the sides.

With a casual gesture, Long, Hu, and six corpse puppets materialized beside him.
