Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 122 - 120: Zombie Role-Playing Game

"Clang."

Zhang Zhen swung his Wind and Thunder Wings, gaining the advantage of flight, allowing him to strike at the Tier Six Zombie from above.

His whole body shone with a layer of Thunder Power, and the street lamp in his hand surged with powerful lightning energy.

The street lamp, overflowing with powerful energy, struck the Tier Six Zombie, leaving charred marks on its body.

As time passed, the wounds on the Tier Six Zombie became more severe; it roared deeply but could only rage futilely.

"Clang!"

"Clang! Clang!"

The street lamp in Zhang Zhen’s hand kept smashing against the zombie, emitting the sound of metal clashing.

The Tier Six Zombie had skin like bronze and bones like iron; its defense was unyieldingly strong.

By now, Zhang Zhen had struck several dozens, even hundreds of times.

Yet those hundreds of strikes only left some charred marks on the Tier Six Zombie’s body.

This made Zhang Zhen incensed; he was sweating profusely up there, but the Tier Six Zombie didn’t react at all!

So he had been tickling it all this time?

"Bang!"

Zhang Zhen engaged the Tier Six Zombie again, and with one swing, knocked the knife from its hand.

Weaponless, the Tier Six Zombie hesitated only for a moment before lunging at Zhang Zhen’s neck with its mouth.

Though Zhang Zhen hadn’t been bitten by a zombie, he knew the consequences from watching many zombie movies.

Seeing the Tier Six Zombie’s wide-open bloodthirsty mouth, Zhang Zhen swiftly retreated two steps, widening the gap between them.

Without thinking, Zhang Zhen thrust the street lamp into the Tier Six Zombie’s mouth.

"Thunder Fury," Zhang Zhen shouted, channeling his Thunder Power through the street lamp into the Tier Six Zombie’s body.

A crackling sound erupted as electric light flickered from inside the Tier Six Zombie, which then began to swell quickly.

Then came a loud "boom"; the deafening explosion tore the Tier Six Zombie into pieces as if its belly had been packed with dynamite.

Soon, Wen Yingying and the others defeated the remaining Tier Seven Zombies as well.

After all the zombies were dealt with, no more emerged from the direction of Han Dynasty Film and Television City.

"Absorb the Deceitful Qi here; I will protect you," Lin Yuan said to the others, sensing the ominous aura around them.

Long ago, during the Battle of Peace Bridge, a Half-Step Tier Five Headless General could create a phenomenon of deceitful rain.

After slaying a Tier Six Evil Spirit, deceitful fog could form.

But now, as the invasion intensified, deceitful qi in heaven and earth grew thicker.

Currently, even slaying a Tier Six Evil Spirit couldn’t generate deceitful fog.

The deceitful qi from a Tier Six Evil Spirit could only slightly thicken the surrounding qi.

Luckily, slaying many zombies this time meant absorbing all their deceitful qi provided everyone with considerable gains.

About half an hour later, they had absorbed all the deceitful qi.

...

...

Han Dynasty Film and Television City loomed ahead.

Soon, Lin Yuan led everyone to the side of Han Dynasty Film and Television City.

The first sight was the city’s main gate, resembling an ancient fortress.

The city wall stood high, towering and radiant, as if cast from gold, like an ancient city of gold.

However, Lin Yuan could see it’s the effect of the Deceitful Demon that made it appear like gold.

Deceitful Wall, masking vision, are basic features of the Deceitful Demon.

The reason the walls appeared gold was the Evil Spirit’s trick to confuse people’s hearts.

Given human desires, few could resist greed upon seeing gold.

Once greed arose, people became susceptible to manipulation by Evil Spirits.

"This..."

"This really is a golden city!" Zhang Zhen exclaimed at the wall’s golden bricks.

However, Lin Yuan held Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword and pried off a brick from the wall, then split it open in front of everyone.

Indeed, when Lin Yuan split the brick, it revealed ordinary blue bricks inside.

"Fake?" everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Yuan nodded, saying, "Of course it’s fake, what else would you expect?"

In the end, the Deceitful Demon can only change perception, not matter itself.

Meaning the Deceitful Demon can make the fortress appear golden, but not transform it into gold.

After realizing the sights were illusions, they reached the city gate.

In the center of the city wall stood a grand, splendid golden gate, towering over twenty to thirty meters high, with a slight gap but obscuring any view beyond it.

No zombie soldiers remained on the wall, seemingly having been slain by Lin Yuan and his group earlier.

Standing at the golden gate’s entrance, even Lin Yuan couldn’t perceive what kind of world lay behind this door.

The Han Dynasty Film and Television City is the Deceitful Demon of the Golden Armor Zombies, so strictly speaking, only by stepping through this door can one truly enter the Deceitful Demon.

Just now, Lin Yuan was killing those zombies, but he was still outside the Deceitful Demon.

Since we’ve come all this way, lingering outside makes no sense.

Though it’s often said that the first soldier to charge heads can end up bloodied,

Lin Yuan still chose to be the first to lead the charge.

"Let’s go in!" Lin Yuan resolved and firmly declared.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan approached the golden city gate, reaching out to push it open.

"Creak."

"Creak, creak."

With a slight push, the door hinges emitted a "creak, creak" sound, and then the gate slowly opened.

Judging by the force needed to push the gate, it was clearly a wooden city gate.

If it were made of gold, such a large gate would be a veritable mountain of gold and impossible to push so easily.

Soon enough, Lin Yuan and his group entered the city.

The city inside wasn’t much different from the outside; everything was bathed in dazzling golden light, and all one could see was gleaming gold.

It seems that the master of this Deceitful Demon, the Golden Armor Warrior, has a special fondness for gold!

"Boss, is there someone there?" Zhuge Ming suddenly shouted, pointing into the distance. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Lin Yuan quickly turned to look in the direction pointed by Zhuge Ming.

Lin Yuan’s eyesight was good; there was no person there at all! It was clearly a zombie resembling an old man.

In the alleyway ahead, a small elderly zombie wearing burial shrouds, face coated with gold powder, with blood-red lips, stared hollow-eyed directly at Lin Yuan’s group.

This little zombie’s blood-red lips formed a sinister curve, appearing quite eerie.

It looked like he was smiling, but it was even worse than crying.

This Deceitful Demon was a realm of zombies, and apart from Lin Yuan’s group, it seemed everyone else was a zombie.

"Chase after him!" Lin Yuan commanded, leading the pursuit.

Seeing Lin Yuan’s group chasing, the little elderly zombie promptly turned and dashed into a nearby house.

Yet, this little elderly zombie was merely a weak Tier Nine Evil Spirit, unable to escape Lin Yuan’s grasp.

Soon, Lin Yuan cornered him in the nearby house.

Inside the adjacent house, besides the small elderly zombie discovered by Lin Yuan, there was also a zombie granny.

This zombie elderly couple was quite weak, both Tier Nine in strength, possessing no intelligence and unable to speak.

They belonged to the lowest tier in this zombie realm.

After swiftly dealing with the zombie elderly couple, Lin Yuan began to inspect everything within the house.

This zombie realm resembled a massive role-playing game.

The zombies slain by Lin Yuan earlier played the role of soldiers within this zombie kingdom.

The two zombie elderlies just now portrayed the lowest level citizens.

In front of them, the traces of life within the house indicated that the zombie elderly couple lived here.

Lin Yuan entered the kitchen and noticed signs of activity.

This was truly peculiar!

Considering they were zombies—

Zombies don’t need to eat!

If zombies don’t eat, then why were there signs of activity in the kitchen?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan’s group rummaged around the kitchen.

"Boss, there’s human blood!" Zhuge Ming shouted, holding out a small bowl from the cupboard.

Lin Yuan frowned, looking at the crimson blood in the bowl, which even emitted a faint bloody smell.

"Is it fresh blood?" Lin Yuan mused.

Zhuge Ming, highly intelligent and acting as the strategist in the group, immediately grasped the meaning of Lin Yuan’s query.

Zhuge Ming promptly asked, "Boss, you mean there’s a living person here?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Surely there must be a living person, otherwise, there wouldn’t be fresh blood."

Dead and living blood differ—this bowl of blood was even slightly warm, clearly freshly drawn.

Thinking thus, Lin Yuan immediately ordered, "Search around, see if you can find the living person these zombies drew blood from."

Encountering this situation, Lin Yuan could not ignore it.

Moreover, if they found a living person in this zombie realm, perhaps they could extract some useful information.

Lin Yuan’s group swiftly searched the surrounding houses but didn’t locate the person who had blood drawn.

However, inside many houses, there were zombies, seemingly portraying ordinary citizens like the elder couple in the zombie realm.

And each home had a bowl of human blood; furthermore, many zombies were being slain while consuming human blood.
