Chapter 236 I want to fight
After transforming into his armored form, Li Chenglong surveyed the ground once more before charging straight toward the enemy's main camp. During the process, he tried to keep his aura low and delay being discovered as much as possible.
Several level-eight zombies standing guard at the command post were standing there somewhat dazed when they suddenly sensed a surge of energy rushing towards them from the sky. Before they could even look up, these level-eight zombies and the command post behind them had been razed to the ground by the ultimate energy cannon fired from Li Chenglong's chest. Then, Li Chenglong, gripping the Dragon Emperor Sword, charged into the smoke, attempting a preemptive strike, directly slaying the zombies inside the command post.
But as soon as Li Chenglong rushed in, he realized something was wrong. The energy points he had detected high in the sky had vanished, leaving only a dozen or so dead level-eight zombies lying scattered about. "Damn it, we've been tricked!" Li Chenglong thought to himself, and immediately used spatial teleportation to escape the ruins. As soon as he left, countless energy waves and skills crashed down, blasting a huge crater more than ten meters deep and seven or eight meters square where he had just stood.
Li Chenglong used spatial teleportation to travel 200 meters away when he heard a female zombie say behind him, "Lord Li, since you're already here, why the rush to leave?" He silently turned around and saw more than a dozen high-level zombies standing not far behind him. One of them had blue eyes, presumably a zombie skilled in sensing. Behind them stood several level 9 zombies, all glaring at him menacingly.
At this moment, a tall, level 10 male zombie stepped forward: "Lord Li, you underestimate us too much. We are not the kind of zombies that only know how to attack. Before this battle, we studied the combat methods of several key officers in your Eastern Theater Command, especially your style of doing things. We watched your previous battle videos more than a dozen times. We have studied all your abilities very thoroughly."
The female zombie laughed and said, "Not bad. Although we haven't seen your armored form yet, we had anticipated that you might try to ambush our command post. So we set up a command post in a relatively obvious location and sent more than a dozen level 8 zombies inside to accumulate energy, creating the illusion that we, the high-level zombies, were inside. We also had heavy guards outside, and we actually managed to trick you into coming here."
This was also due to Li Chenglong's carelessness. When he was falling from the sky, he only used the Eye of the True Dragon to briefly sense the area with high energy. Because of time constraints, he did not observe carefully and thus failed to discover the problem in time.
Li Chenglong breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, the original goal was to destroy the enemy's command post. He hadn't expected to win in one fell swoop. He was prepared for a tough battle. It was good that they were all here now, saving him the trouble of looking for them himself.
He pointed his sword at the zombies: "Come on, now that you know my purpose, why don't you come and die?" The tall male zombie laughed and said, "Do we need to bother you to fight?" As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and five level 9 zombies stepped forward and surrounded Li Chenglong. Li Chenglong laughed loudly: "Five are not enough, I want to fight ten!" The female zombie's face was gloomy: "You dare to look down on us? You want to fight ten? I'll grant your wish." Then five more level 9 zombies appeared.
Once the ten level 9 zombies were in position, the higher-level zombies retreated slightly, preparing to enjoy the performance. Li Chenglong chuckled, "When I said I'd take on ten, I didn't mean these ten good-for-nothings. But it's perfect, a good warm-up." With that, his armor turned red, and he charged towards the zombies surrounding him.
"Pfft!" Li Chenglong pierced through the body of a level 9 zombie with a single punch, then smashed its head apart with another. Next, a level 9 strength-type zombie charged at Li Chenglong, its right fist now enormous. Li Chenglong clenched his fist and met the zombie's attack head-on, piercing a large hole in the zombie's fist. Then, with a hook punch, he sent the zombie's head flying. In less than 10 seconds, he had killed two level 9 zombies.
The following battle was very easy. The remaining eight level 9 zombies, whether they were wind-type, water-type, or even dual-type, were easily eliminated by Li Chenglong. The whole process took only a little over a minute.
Li Chenglong collected the crystals one by one into his spiritual energy space right in front of them, and said with a hint of mockery, "Oh, this is too easy. Are there any stronger enemies? I want to fight ten more!" As he spoke, he stared intently at the zombies in front of him. The tall male and female zombies were frightened by Li Chenglong's gaze and took two steps back before trying to appear calm and saying, "Don't be so arrogant. I don't believe you haven't expended any energy. Let's attack together."
As he spoke, 15 level 10 zombies surrounded Li Chenglong. To be honest, this was the first time Li Chenglong had ever dealt with 15 level 10 zombies at once, and some of these level 10 zombies were even stronger than the level 10 hybrids of the Kiel aliens. Li Chenglong's energy erupted, and his armor changed to red, green, and blue.
His armor, after the upgrade, currently has three colors and four states. Red focuses on strength, with slightly less speed; blue focuses on speed, with relatively less destructive power; and green focuses on perception. It can easily detect things too far away for the True Dragon Eye to perceive. The Yaolong Armor in its red, blue, and green color scheme is a hybrid, excelling in none but also lacking a clear weakness.
Li Chenglong surveyed the surroundings, forming a plan in his mind. Just as he was preparing for a full-scale battle, he was interrupted. A male zombie suddenly appeared from behind. By human standards, this male zombie was quite handsome, about 185 cm tall, with fair skin, a well-proportioned figure, and good-looking features. The 15 level 10 zombies, upon seeing the newcomer, all bowed and said, "Greetings, Protector Xun!"
Protector Xun nodded: "You all step back. You don't even know the strength of your opponent, yet you wanted to gang up on them. If I hadn't come, you would all be dead." In truth, zombies don't acknowledge themselves as zombies; they all claim to be a kind of human, calling themselves "New Humans." The female zombie bowed and said, "Protector Xun, have you returned?"
Protector Xun said coldly, "Hmm, you're back. You came up with this plan, didn't you? It's a good plan, but you didn't accurately assess the enemy's strength. Be more careful next time and don't make the same mistake again." The female zombie nodded, "Yes, I will follow Protector Xun's teachings." With that, she withdrew.
After dealing with his own men, Protector Xun glanced at his watch and said, "It's been two hours since we started the battle. I wonder how much longer your men can hold out, Lord Li?" Li Chenglong replied, "Every warrior in our Dawn Army is a seasoned veteran, and we have complete confidence in annihilating you." Protector Xun continued, "Let's make a bet. Do you dare? We'll fight each other. If you win, the zombies on your two Dawn Army positions will retreat. If you lose, tell me your secret to becoming so strong, and then I'll let you go back. We can then fight each other properly on the main battlefield. What do you say?"
Li Chenglong raised an eyebrow: "Alright, but I'm curious whether you'll keep your word." Protector Xun laughed: "Don't worry, I, Protector Xun, am a man of my word. Besides, given the current situation, there's no harm in you fighting me one-on-one, is there? If you kill me, won't you have completed your mission?"
Li Chenglong thought about it and agreed. Since he was going to fight anyway, he might as well fight him. If the other man kept his word, he would have gained something. Even if he didn't keep his word, he wouldn't have lost anything.
