Chapter 34 The Hunter

"Gulu gulu~~~"

Under the cover of night, the entire city outside the ancient capital city wall has turned red. Countless undead souls are surging like a tide. Their red eyes are flickering in the dark night, looming.

Several rotting corpses were lying on the ground, their decayed and yellowed teeth gnawing at a mutilated human corpse.

The corpse was completely unrecognizable, but through the wide frame and relatively intact leg muscles, it was vaguely visible that it was a strong man.

The armor he was wearing was in tatters, fragments of his backpack and firearms were scattered on the ground, and a putrid black corpse bit off his head, cracking the skull and sucking out the brain marrow.

The two seemingly smaller rotting corpses could only hide aside and wait for the leftovers left by the strong rotting corpses.

But more and more hungry rotting corpses began to approach slowly. They were also attracted by the attractive smell emanating from the corpse, and a fight was inevitable.

"Ouch!!!!"

A particularly strong-looking rotting corpse stood up. It was much taller than those ordinary rotting corpses, and a glimmer of light could be seen in its cloudy eyes. It was at least the level of a great slave.

"Woooooo~~~~~"

Most of the undead corpse soldiers gathered were ordinary servants, but their number was more than double that of the possessors.

For the walking dead who don’t know what fear is, the sweet smell of flesh and blood can make them desperate!

"Hiss!!!!!!"

The two groups of undead screamed and fought against each other, with broken arms and limbs flying everywhere. A rotten corpse with half of its right arm bitten off fell on the corpse, and a dark red organ was thrown away from the gap in the abdomen.

"Ouch~~~~"

The two thin carrion corpses that were crawling and cowering aside smelled the delicious food so close at hand, and they all pounced on it without reason.

The half of the lung was being snatched away by the two rotting corpses. They were both extremely hungry and thirsty, and half of the lung could not satisfy their hunger at all.

"Hisssssss~~~~~"

They couldn't help but look at the mutilated undead corpse soldiers struggling to stand up on the ground, with fishy saliva flowing from their half-open and half-closed mouths.

They bravely pounced on a rotting corpse with broken legs, dragged it aside and gnawed wildly, tearing off the rotting flesh piece by piece.

The rotten corpse that was enjoying human corpses didn't expect that the two most humble rotten corpses, who could only pick up some leftovers and cook them, would suddenly attack, and it roared in pain.

"Gu Gu Gu~~~~~"

The two skinny undead used their skinny arms to separate the upper and lower jaws of the carrion and tore open its mouth. They let out a low cry, as if they were laughing at the prey's death struggle.

This is a land of the undead, full of chaos. For scarce food, the undead will risk everything to fight for an insignificant piece of meat. Hunger will turn them into the most dangerous predators, and they can eat anything.

In every battle, some undead will die, and the dead undead will become food for other undead.

You don't even need to die, as long as you lose the power to protect yourself, you will become a delicacy for other hungry undead, making them stronger.

"What should we do, Captain? Li Xin may have no bones left now. How are we going to survive the dark night in the Kingdom of the Undead..."

A young man with yellow hair huddled in the corner of the black wall and said timidly.

He looked disheveled, his clothes were in tatters, and his eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot. He must have been extremely lacking in sound sleep.

How could he have a good night's sleep in such a ghostly place where he could die at any time? Every time he forced himself to regain his strength, all he could think of was the last scene of Li Xin being swallowed up by the undead corpses.

There was resentment in his eyes, why was he the one who died, but could they survive? They were just lingering.

"Don't say such depressing words. We are not dead yet. Don't let your fear crush you. As long as we can hold on until daylight, we can escape!!"

Yi Tao leaned next to his teammate, the wrinkles on his forehead had been squeezed together, and he was feeling extremely anxious.

I want to smoke a cigarette, but I might lose my life. This is a tomb. The relatively closed space is filled with the air of death and miasma. If I light a fire rashly, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Li Ran, don't be too pessimistic. We have at least three days of dry food and water stored in our backpacks. We can survive for five days by living frugally. Even if we can't get out for a while, we can still keep our bodies running..."

Yi Tao held a flashlight in his hand, with the brightness deliberately adjusted to the lowest level. They had not really explored the tomb yet because they did not dare to step into the unknown danger easily.

The obstruction of vision in the darkness is second to none. Most of the passages in the tomb are extremely narrow. If you encounter a swarm of undead corpse soldiers, you will be trapped.

Mages have no melee capabilities, and it is difficult to release powerful mid-level magic in a narrow space. They will not be able to hold on for long before they are knocked down by the rotting zombies and then eaten away!

The tomb they were hiding in ran almost vertically through the ground, like a straight rectangular tunnel from top to bottom, which could barely accommodate two or three people.

The surroundings are not all filled with the kind of soil accumulated after corpses have decayed. The black walls should be made of bricks that are not easily corroded and are at least two to three hundred years old.

In ancient times, some people would indeed build tombs underground in the Kingdom of the Undead, so that ordinary tomb robbers would not dare to set foot there. The tide of undead corpses above the tombs would invisibly become the bodyguards of the tomb owners.

"Let's not walk around casually. This tomb is very old. If the owner of the tomb is not wiped out in ashes but is doused with death, at least it will be a big corpse..."

Yi Tao and four others were all injured to some extent, and among them, his mid-level fire element teammate Liang Cheng was the most seriously injured.

The bandages and hemostatic medicine on his body can only temporarily delay his injuries, while the serum prevents him from being infected with corpse poison.

His left arm was bitten off by a ferocious little corpse general, and a gash was opened in his abdomen. Now he is unable to use intermediate fierce fists, and his strength is greatly reduced.

"Captain, Li Ran, Yang Cang, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive. If you encounter a group of corpses, I'm just a burden. Carrying me will drag you down..."

Liang Cheng's pale face was covered with beads of sweat, and the pain from the fracture in his left arm and abdomen made his face look hideous. He panted heavily and said helplessly.

"If any of you can go back alive, please tell my wife and mother for me that I have deposited two amounts of money in the account, one is for my wife, I am ashamed of her, and the other is for my mother's pension.

Qian, the password is their respective birthdays. Finally, tell Huanhuan for me that dad may break his promise. I'm sorry for not being able to take her to the amusement park, but tell her that dad will always love you..."

Liang Cheng held the palm of his captain Yi Tao, and his body temperature seemed to be draining away little by little. His palm was as cold as a dead person.

"I don't want to hear you say that. You saved my life in the first place. I won't give up on you, and you shouldn't give up on yourself. Your daughter is only three years old, and she still needs someone who can protect her from the wind and rain.

Man, your wife and you have been together through thick and thin, and your fifth wedding anniversary will be in less than a month. And Aunt Yun, she is the only woman who has worked so hard to bring you up. If you die, wouldn’t it be in vain?

How do you want me to explain to Aunt Yun..."

Yi Tao hugged his teammate tightly, as if he wanted to transfer his body temperature to him. At this time, he must not give up, otherwise he would really be unable to save his life.

"Don't be afraid, we will get through it, we will be fine..."

Yi Tao not only cheered up the sleepy Liang Cheng, Yang Cang and Li Ran who were on the verge of collapse, but also encouraged himself.

He is also afraid of death. He also has a family that he misses very much, a wife, children and parents with gray hair. They are all still waiting for him to go back at home. He must not die here, absolutely not!!

"Ouch~~~~"

A deafening howl suddenly came from the depths of the tomb. The people who were huddled up all looked solemn. The yellow-haired young man seemed to be unable to hold on anymore and was crying and rolling on the ground.

"Sure enough, there is a dangerous corpse inside!!!"

Yi Tao's arms were trembling. In their current state, a small corpse general could kill them all. If it were the larger corpses that were more violent, they would really be dead.

"Ouch~~~~~"

The roar was getting closer and closer, but it was getting weaker and weaker. Only the slow and heavy footsteps could be heard echoing in the silent tomb. The hearts of Yi Tao and the four of them shrank, and a feeling of suffocation emerged spontaneously.

He held a flashlight in his hand, ready to increase the brightness to the maximum at any time. The undead were extremely sensitive to light, and he might be able to fight for a glimmer of life for them.

A behemoth came out of the shadows and appeared in front of them. Yi Tao roared and raised a bright flashlight to shine on the gray-brown carrion troll that was as strong as an ox.

The troll's burly body, which was more than three meters tall, collapsed to the ground. Its back was scarred with numerous slender scratches crisscrossing it, which was shocking.

"Woo~~~~~"

The troll, which was not completely dead, let out a weak prayer, but a pale and skinny arm mercilessly pierced its head, took out the still warm brain and put it to its mouth to suck.

"Who are you!!!!!"

Yi Tao felt horrified as he looked at the skinny young man who easily pierced the head of the carrion troll and sucked the brains greedily. He asked with a trembling voice.

"I don't have a name. The Bishop gave me the code name of the Black Prison. Are you hunters..."

The skinny young man had a pale complexion. His body was hunched and half squatting, and his bloodshot pupils looked greedily at Yi Tao and the four of them.

"The vampire bat said that you can't hunt at will in the ancient capital. But if you are a hunter outside the city wall, you won't be suspicious even if you die. So, I can eat you..."

The pale young man who called himself Black Prison showed a ferocious smile. He was like a hungry beast, looking for his prey. He had his eyes on the four of them, Yi Tao.

"You guys leave quickly!!!!"

The skinny young man moved as fast as lightning, and Yi Tao could not even catch his figure with his naked eyes. When he opened his bloody mouth full of saliva and rushed towards his face, he had no time to release his magic!

“Bang bang bang!!!!!”

Several gunshots rang out from behind, and three bullets whizzed past and shot through the chest of the strange young man. He fell down in shock, with strange white blood flowing around him.

"Liang Cheng!!!!!"

The pale man held a pistol with his trembling right hand, watching the dangerous young man fall into a pool of blood, his arms hanging down weakly, and he fainted.

Yi Tao screamed miserably, holding his companion and crying till he was hoarse. He didn't expect that at this last moment, he still wanted to protect himself!

"Gulu gulu..."

Yi Tao, Yang Cang and Li Ran were all focused on their dying companions, but they did not notice that the "corpse" that had been shot through the chest suddenly began to twitch.

"It hurts so much, I want to eat meat..."

A pair of blood-red eyes slowly opened, he murmured, and the dangerous aura slowly approached the three unaware hunters.

Who would have thought that a "corpse" that was shot through the chest was not dead yet. He slowly stood up and chose people to eat...
