Chapter 468: Corpse Tide

"Roar――"

Black saliva dripped from the hyena’s mouth, its eyes fixed fiercely on the decaying body behind the Bai Family.

Completely ignoring the Bai Family, in its eyes, the dead corpse was the most dangerous existence.

What it feared was the intangible and elusive pressure emanating from the zombie flood dragon.

Humans were merely flesh and blood that could fill the stomach, ready to be devoured at any moment.

The lingering pressure made the hyena dare not charge forward, only growling savagely at the corpse.

It seemed about to pounce, yet never took that step.

"We’re running out of time, we should go."

With intense flames in his hand, Bai Anhai hurled them at the hyena, his expression somewhat serious.

The trembling ground grew more pronounced, indicating that Shanghai’s zombie army was drawing closer.

They had to leave here quickly.

This was a city’s worth of zombies, far more serious than when Wang Ge commanded zombies to besiege them.

The searing flames burned the zombie hyena, yet it remained unresponsive, only baring its teeth at the massive body.

It felt no pain; even with flames licking its body, it was something it could ignore.

It wanted to take that step, charging toward the zombie flood dragon.

Even as a zombie animal, fear stopped it from taking that step, merely roaring futilely at a corpse.

Just a single corpse was enough to make it so apprehensive.

It’s hard to imagine what disaster it would be for human survivors if the zombie flood dragon were alive.

"Alright, we’ll leave right away!"

Bai Xiqin gently tapped her fingers, releasing the water python and mutated giant python from the space.

Both being snakes, it’s uncertain if they’d be interested in this mutant flood dragon.

"Master, what are you playing at? This smell is worse than Taowu’s stinky feet!"

The water python quickly scrambled onto Bai Xiqin’s shoulder upon emerging, covering its face with its tail in a smelly expression.

The mutated giant python wasn’t doing much better, but its enormous body couldn’t crawl onto Bai Xiqin for comfort, so it curled up miserably.

Its cold eyes sparkled, clearly feeling wronged.

But it was only wronged for a moment; upon seeing the zombie flood dragon, its eyes filled not just with fear, but also excitement.

"This is a flood dragon, does it interest you?" Bai Xiqin asked, glancing at the bulging part on the mutated giant python’s forehead.

In the space, the mutated giant python had shed several times, and with each shedding, the bulge on its forehead grew slightly.

Initially thought it was an illusion. Now it seemed snakes might evolve again.

"Master...if you’re arranging a mate for me, shouldn’t it at least be female? Even if you have a bad impression of me, you can’t find such an ugly, stinking male flood dragon worse than Taowu!"

The water python complained, "Gender aside, the species isn’t even right!"

Bai Xiqin: ...

Bai Family: ...

"Roar――"

The zombie hyena, engulfed in searing flames, growled at the suddenly appearing giant python, its front claws pawing the ground, ready to charge at any moment.

The sudden appearance of a massive creature made it realize it could no longer delay; more animals would come to vie for the flood dragon.

Yet, understanding did not help it cross the hurdle in its heart.

"Awuu――"

The flames slowly spread from its body to its head.

Only when the flames reached its head did the zombie hyena wail in pain, its rotting body rolling on the ground.

From catching fire to death, the vindictive hyena never lunged at the Bai Family, the lingering pressure left it with no courage at all.

"No time to explain, go to the flood dragon’s head, if there’s anything beneficial, take it, otherwise let’s leave quickly."

Bai Xiqin ignored the water python with impure thoughts and led the family running toward the zombie flood dragon’s head.

The ground’s shaking intensified, even the surrounding trees began to sway.

It’s hard to imagine what the scene would be like with all Shanghai’s zombies swarming.

Also hard to imagine once this decaying flood dragon was torn apart by zombies, would their level increase a whole rank!

For Shanghai’s survivors, apocalypse survival would become even harder.

The water python blinked innocently on Bai Xiqin’s shoulder, "Master, it’s just a flood dragon, what good is it to me? Even alive, I wouldn’t be interested in it."

Remaining in the space constantly, even without starting evolution, looking like an ordinary snake, for all Earth’s snakes, it was the king of snakes.

If it wished, it could command any snake, just like taking Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing as followers.

The flood dragon was formidable, but to the water python, it was insignificant and offered no benefit.

They weren’t even in the same league.

Not about who’s stronger, but an animal’s unique nature.

"Are you sure you don’t want anything from the flood dragon?"

Bai Xiqin suddenly realized life nurtured in an unusual place like space probably didn’t need Earth’s "common goods."

"Of course not! It’s just a flood dragon! I’m mighty enough not to need it!" The water python muttered, "Better alive, I could befriend it, maybe it knows some pretty flood dragon sisters!"

The more the water python spoke, the brighter its eyes became, its small eyes glistening fiercely.

"If you’re not interested in the flood dragon’s corpse, then go rest!"

Bai Xiqin’s face slightly twitched, sending the incessantly imagining water python back into space.

"Hiss hiss――"

The mutated giant python suddenly called out to Bai Xiqin, its thick tail pointing at the flood dragon’s body.

The position it pointed to was just over the liver and gallbladder.

"Go ahead!"

Seeing the mutated giant python interested in the zombie body, Bai Xiqin sighed in relief.

At least one was interested in the zombie flood dragon’s body!

The zombie flood dragon was indeed a zombie animal, containing the zombie virus.

Bai Xiqin noticed the water python and its companions were immune to the zombie virus, perhaps due to being in space.

The mutated giant python had already undergone mutation, with no zombie virus in its mouth, initially thought it didn’t eat carrion.

Later found it was carnivorous, eating any meat.

Its mouth didn’t have the black saliva typical of mutant animals consuming carrion.

This indicated the mutated giant python wasn’t afraid of the zombie virus.

The powerful digestive system of the mutated giant python disregarded the zombie virus.

Seeing Bai Xiqin nod, its massive body lunged into the zombie flood dragon’s decaying flesh, soon disappearing.

The Bai Family kept running towards the flood dragon’s head, the mutated giant python would later track their scent.

Their target was the crystal core in the zombie flood dragon’s brain.

When the flood dragon fell, Bai Xiqin saw clearly, although its head was battered, the skull was intact!
