Chapter 593 - 9.63 The King’s Warning
For the first few days, the soldiers were still laboriously killing the zombies who had surrounded the entire basecamp. However, they gradually realized that it was all futile; kill one, and two more would fill the spot. The entire country had become the Zombie King’s troops and the military basecamp was akin to an isolated island amidst the poisonous blood sea.
Everyone’s nerves were strung taut, and the higher-ups converged meetings after meetings to discuss what they should do. Without Commander Yang Tengfei’s lead, they were akin to a beast who lost its fangs, struggling desperately on its last breath under the pitiful mercy of the domineering enemy.
After careful observation, the soldiers belatedly discovered that the zombies did not seem like they intended to attack. They would only move once the soldiers launched a strike, otherwise they would always remain still. Just like a force of oppressing yet silent fortress.
It was then that everyone realized.
...This was the Zombie King’s warning.
He could clearly invade the military basecamp with his prowess, yet he didn’t. He just showed off his might in order to suppress the humans.
—If you don’t attack me, then I won’t make a move. But if you do, then don’t blame me for retaliating.
However, this alone was enough to erode everyone’s spirit bit by bit, gradually filling them with endless anxiety and restlessness. They knew that the blade of death was looming right above their necks, yet they had no idea when it would fall. Such a feeling was utterly unbearable. Still, could they do anything to turn the situation around? No. Between them and the Zombie King, it was clear who held the upper hand.
And hence, a bizarre stalemate was formed amidst this tense atmosphere.
