Chapter 49: Madness of the Corpse Night, the Zombie Leader!

Wei Ziqing felt very awkward!

He had never imagined such a thing would happen. Originally, he should have noticed Busujima Saeko before she got close, but his attention had been entirely focused on Kikukawa Shizuka.

Now, with the bath towel in his hand, he didn’t know whether to cover her or not, leaving him standing there in embarrassment for a moment.

“Um, do I need to leave first?” Busujima Saeko quickly snapped back to her senses. Although her tone was calm, a faint, barely noticeable blush could be seen on her cheeks.

Wait? Why should she leave? I didn’t do anything!

Seeing Busujima Saeko about to walk out, how could Wei Ziqing let her go? He knew that if she left now, he would truly be unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

“Wait, is there something you need me for? Also, Teacher Shizuka is drunk and ran over here; I was just preparing to take her back!”

He quickly wrapped the bathrobe around Shizuka. While asking Busujima Saeko what was happening, he took the opportunity to explain the situation, although he didn’t know if she believed him.

Hearing Wei Ziqing’s words, Busujima Saeko suddenly remembered why she had come to find him and hurriedly said, “Teacher, something happened. Takashi is…”

Before she could finish, a burst of gunfire exploded, sounding exceptionally clear in the silent night.

Hearing this, Wei Ziqing’s expression changed drastically. Zombies relied mainly on sound to move. Now that the gunfire had started, wouldn’t that tell all the zombies that they were here?

“Right, could it be… Little Alice from the original story!” Little Takashi and the others were not people without common sense, so there was only one possibility: they had gone to save Little Alice, just like in the original story!

“Teacher…”

“Alright, stop talking. I know what’s going on. Let’s go and check it out quickly!” Wei Ziqing interrupted Busujima Saeko, grabbed the Gentleman Sword, and hurried out to the balcony.

He saw Hirano squatting with full concentration, faithfully acting as his sniper. In the courtyard opposite them, Little Takashi was holding a little girl, and at the entrance, no fewer than a hundred zombies had already gathered!

These zombies were different from those in the original story; they didn’t just blindly crash into the door. On the contrary, some actually knew how to use weapons to smash things, and some even tried to climb over the wall to get inside.

Although Takashi was comforting Little Alice while holding her, he was still shaking all over. He clearly hadn’t expected that the zombies, which Wei Ziqing and Busujima Saeko could kill so easily, would become so difficult for him to handle!

The commotion here had already attracted everyone’s attention. Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya looked down at Takashi, their faces filled with anxiety.

“Teacher, what should we do? Takashi probably won’t make it, this…”

Hirano kept firing his gun. Although every shot took down a zombie, it was completely useless.

Not only that, it actually attracted more zombies. In the blink of an eye, the area below was flooded with a Zombie Horde, densely packed with no fewer than a thousand zombies!

“Damn it, these are no longer ordinary zombies. Why didn’t Takashi consult me before acting!” Wei Ziqing wanted to curse Little Takashi to death in his heart, but he knew it was pointless. For now, the most important thing was to rescue him!

Ignoring the looks from Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya, he said directly to Busujima Saeko, “Saeko, you break through the zombie crowd on the perimeter to attract their attention. I will enter the center and rescue Takashi and the others. Do you have any problems with that?”

Busujima Saeko nodded. Her wooden sword had long been replaced by a long sword found in the room, and her strength had increased significantly. Attracting fire on the perimeter would not be a problem!

“No problem, let’s start!”

Wei Ziqing gritted his teeth, stepped lightly, and jumped directly down from the balcony ten meters high. Busujima Saeko followed closely behind, but she headed toward the perimeter.

“Slaughter: Instant Execution!”

A low shout erupted from Busujima Saeko’s mouth, and she sliced a zombie blocking her path in half. Immediately after, with another strike, a head flew high into the air.

In the center of the field!

Wei Ziqing pushed his Lightness Skill to the limit. The Gentleman Sword in his hand already manifested a bright glow; as soon as he attacked, the Sword Aura raged.

His movements were the most explosive. Wherever he passed, blood splattered and brains sprayed. Countless zombies were frantically torn apart by the Sword Aura, turning into piles of shredded meat!

However, he also faced the greatest pressure!

Despite Busujima Saeko attracting fire on the perimeter, countless zombies were simply insane, surging toward him like a tide, determined to drown him!

Without reaching the Xiantian realm, Inner Energy could not be endless.

After a short while, Wei Ziqing felt heavy pressure and felt that the Gentleman Sword in his hand had become slightly heavier. Not only him, but looking at Busujima Saeko, she was in even worse shape; covered in blood and looking like a demon, her face was full of exhaustion.

“Damn it, this won’t work if it continues. There are too many zombies!” Wei Ziqing looked at Takashi, who was still dozens of meters away, and an anxious expression finally appeared on his face.

He no longer knew how many zombies he had killed; he only knew that the ground beneath his feet was full of zombie corpses, even piling up so high that he could only fight while standing on top of them.

The Inner Energy in his body was nearly exhausted. These zombies seemed to be under command, as dozens of them rushed toward Takashi.

A small portion of the rest stayed with Busujima Saeko, and the remaining targets were all him. It was as if they knew his strength was superior, so they tried to exhaust him through a war of attrition since they couldn’t kill him individually!

“Wait… command?”

Wei Ziqing’s eyes suddenly lit up. He felt that this possibility was not nonexistent, but very likely!

Since this group of zombies possessed intelligence, how could there not be a being with even greater intelligence? Furthermore, with their current weak intellect, they couldn’t possibly perform such coordinated actions!

Thinking of this, Wei Ziqing quickly scanned the surroundings. However, trying to find a hidden commander among thousands of zombies was like looking for a needle in a haystack!

“No, I have to find a way to root it out. Otherwise, forget about Little Takashi and Busujima Saeko, even I will fall here!”

Wei Ziqing frowned, his mind racing. Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes: “Among this group of zombies, there is the presence of Psychic Power. So, if I can find the one with the strongest Psychic Power, wouldn’t that…”

Wei Ziqing looked pleased, and then he actually closed his eyes, releasing his mind at full speed. Seeing this, the expressions of Takagi and Miyamoto Rei on the balcony changed. No one knew what had suddenly happened to Teacher Wei; why did he close his eyes?

Suddenly, Wei Ziqing opened his eyes. His gaze locked quietly on a female zombie in the corner of the wall who was missing an arm and had rotting flesh on her face. That zombie seemed to notice Wei Ziqing’s gaze and actually retreated several steps, suddenly darting back into the zombie army.

This zombie was the leader of this zombie army! The commander!
