Chapter 275: Chapter 276: If You Dare Reach for Me, Be Ready for the Consequences!

Rooftop.

"How could such a massive corpse tide suddenly arise? It’s over, completely over!"

Zhang Xi’s eyes were wide open, lips trembling, as he spoke shakily.

This level of corpse horde, he had never seen anything like it in Beicheng. Compared to this horde, the Dragon Tiger Gang was nothing, like a mere plant!

"Bro, what should we do? Should we make a quick retreat? This corpse tide is definitely deadly!"

Zhang Xi turned to the silent Zhang Qing and hesitantly asked.

"No, the horde is moving too fast. A large group can’t make it out. You and I could leave, but the Dragon Tiger Gang would definitely fall apart. Rebuilding it later would be incredibly difficult."

Zhang Qing’s face was somber as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke calmly.

"Then what should we do now? If we don’t leave, it will be too late!"

Zhang Xi was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth.

"It’s too late to relocate the Dragon Tiger Gang. We can only gather the brothers, hide underground temporarily, and wait for this wave of the corpse tide to pass. Then we’ll be safe."

Zhang Qing furrowed his brows in thought and suggested.

The situation was urgent, and Zhang Qing could only put that woman’s revenge aside for now and focus on surviving this crisis first.

After all, even if they wanted revenge, finding the Dragon Tiger Gang wasn’t so easy.

"Alright, the guys outside should be back soon. Let’s hurry down!"

Zhang Xi initially thought of escaping first, but after hearing his brother’s analysis, he found it made sense. If they fled, all their hard work building the Dragon Tiger Gang would be for nothing.

Without the Dragon Tiger Gang, the two of them would only be two strong Evolvers, and going from luxury to frugality would be hard!

Then, the two quickly went downstairs and ordered the gang members below not to go outside for the time being.

He Garden District.

Zhao Lin and Ji Ruxue were eating dinner at the table, chatting and laughing, seemingly talking about new clothes.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan was leaning on the living room sofa, eyes closed in deep thought.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed since Lu Chuan stirred up the corpse tide.

During this time, Lu Chuan had been controlling the corpse tide, roaming all over Beicheng with no stone unturned.

Unfortunately, and rather unluckily, despite the length of time, the search remained fruitless.

Although the results were not great, Lu Chuan didn’t give up on searching. From Undead One’s appearance to Lu Chuan raising the corpse tide, only a short time had passed.

No matter how small the Dragon Tiger Gang was, it was still a gang with at least a dozen people and lots of supplies. It was impossible for them to escape Beicheng in such a short time.

As long as they’re still in Beicheng, there’s no way they can escape his grasp.

The ordinary Corpse Puppets under his control had spread throughout Beicheng with the corpse tide. Nothing could escape his eyes. He didn’t believe the Dragon Tiger Gang could just disappear.

As night deepened.

Dragon Tiger Gang, in the ground floor of their underground club, was within a fortress built around the underground entrance with reinforced concrete.

A middle-aged gang member with glasses and a black backpack slowly walked to the exit.

"Old Zhang, where are you going?"

At the door, two night guards, a young man with a buzz cut and a middle-aged man with graying hair, were chatting idly. Seeing the middle-aged gang member approach, the graying-haired guard spoke with some surprise.

"Wang, Li! My stomach is a bit upset, and the basement toilet has a queue, so I thought I’d go outside to handle it."

Old Zhang faked discomfort, clutching his stomach, with a roll of toilet paper in hand, speaking anxiously.

"Old Zhang, you know the boss and second in command ordered everyone to stay put. Going outside is against the rules!"

Upon hearing this, Li frowned.

"Li, Wang, just give me a break. I really can’t hold it anymore, and the corpse tide has mostly subsided. I won’t go far, I promise. Here, have a smoke..."

As he spoke, Old Zhang wore an ingratiating smile as he approached them and shoved a pack of cigarettes into each of their hands.

Seeing the cigarettes, Li and Wang’s frowns quickly vanished. Cigarettes were hard currency after the world ended.

"Alright, but be quick, Old Zhang. If you get caught, we can’t cover for you."

Li nodded, warning Old Zhang.

"Got it, I promise you won’t have any trouble!"

Old Zhang felt a wave of relief.

Old Zhang cautiously left, disappearing into the night, quietly crossing two streets before slipping into an alleyway.

Creak~

A hidden door inside some abandoned furniture opened quietly, revealing a beautiful face.

"Hubby!"

"Darling, I’m here. You must be hungry. Here, I brought you some food."

Old Zhang took off his backpack, bringing out a lunchbox.

They were a married couple that had survived the apocalypse together.

When the Dragon Tiger Gang was recruiting, Old Zhang thought he’d try it first. If it was decent, he’d let his wife join too.

However, after learning about the boss’s nature, Old Zhang quickly dismissed the idea.

The boss was extremely lecherous and would forcibly take the wives of gang members. When one of them refused, he was beaten to death.

Since his wife was quite beautiful, Old Zhang feared the boss would set his sights on her, so he decided to keep her hidden outside.

"Come inside quickly, hubby, so the zombies outside won’t find you!"

Then, the woman pulled Old Zhang inside the room.

What neither Old Zhang nor his wife realized was that at the alley’s end, a pair of crimson eyes was watching them.

Time ticked by, and after about ten minutes, Old Zhang appeared, looking refreshed. Without delay, he hurried back.

The long-waiting Undead One silently followed Old Zhang.

Before long, Undead One successfully tracked Old Zhang back to the Dragon Tiger Gang’s stronghold.

"Li, do you think Old Zhang really had a stomachache and was just taking care of business?"

Watching Old Zhang disappear into the underground club’s entrance, Wang asked with curiosity from within the fortress.

"Heh, why does it matter? Aren’t the cigarettes good?"

Li shook his head, lighting a cigarette casually.

"I’m just curious..."

Before Wang could finish,

Thud!

Undead One, moving like a ghost, climbed atop the fortress, his long tongue piercing Wang instantly.

Li was terrified, not even managing to scream before a claw blade swiftly severed his head.

"Trying to mess with me? Be prepared for the consequences!"

Staring at the underground club’s entrance, Lu Chuan seethed with murderous intent.
