Chapter 181: 182: Corpse Tide in the Imperial Capital! The Corpse King Emerges!

At this moment in the conference room, a video was being played. The scene in the video made all the high-ranking officials present feel chills down their spines.

On the large screen, an endless mass of zombies was seen moving in one direction, as if they had a target.

From time to time, these zombies let out roars, looking like a black mass of ants from the sky.
had dwindled to less than ten percent of its original number.

Factories halted, politics collapsed, society was chaotically disordered with surviving as a primary concern.

Yet humans still hadn’t given up hope.

Survivor Bases were constantly being established in different places, working together to survive the crisis and restore order and life as it once was.

And this was on the premise that humans knew these zombies were nothing more than mindless entities.

Even though zombies were tremendously powerful and posed a deadly threat, the gap in intelligence gave humans confidence that they could reclaim the world over time.

However, the news disclosed by the Imperial Capital now was undoubtedly a heavy blow that shattered everyone’s confidence. If zombies were intelligent, where would humanity head to?!

The many high-ranking officials in the conference room fell silent, some puzzled, others shocked, and some with self-mockery on their faces.

One elderly man took off his glasses, rubbed his brow, and sneered, "In my opinion, if what the Imperial Capital said is true, there’s no need for us to establish Survivor Bases."

"The reason we are alive today is because these zombies are mindless and lack any discipline, allowing us to barely survive in a world full of zombies."

"Now that the Imperial Capital says there’s a high-level zombie commanding the Corpse Tide, does that mean these zombies already have intelligence?"

The person next to him also voiced doubts, "I still can’t understand how these zombies, just a bunch of dead bodies, could possibly evolve intelligence?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man shook his head with a cold smile, "Haven’t we encountered enough bizarre things in the apocalypse?"

"The corpses you call long dead can stand up and attack humans, so why couldn’t they evolve intelligence?"

For a moment, everyone in the conference room fell silent, a heavy gloom shrouded over everyone’s heart.

If zombies awaken intelligence, the current human advantage will no longer exist.

"I know this result is hard to accept, and everyone feels helpless, but we have no choice but to accept this fact."

The middle-aged man stood up, a look of authority flashed in his eyes as he surveyed the people before him.

"All of you here are the top leaders of the base, we must accept the fact that these bloodthirsty zombies are constantly evolving, otherwise there’s only the path to death!"

Hearing this, everyone present sighed helplessly and then nodded one after another.

"Since the Imperial Capital has investigated these Corpse Tides, have they given any instructions? Have they clearly identified the type of zombie capable of commanding zombies and organizing a Corpse Tide?"

The middle-aged man nodded, "According to information from the Imperial Capital, this is a type of Evolved Zombie that has never appeared before."

"It possesses intelligence not found in other zombies and has the ability to control lower-level zombies.

"So far, this type of zombie is extremely cautious and uses the Corpse Tide to protect itself; it will not appear in frontal battles."

"The Imperial Capital has named this type of zombie... the Corpse King!"

Hiss~

Everyone drew a sharp breath upon hearing it, sensing the terror merely from the name.

"The name ’Corpse King’ is indeed imposing, it seems the Imperial Capital attaches great importance to this type of zombie."

"Everyone listen, the threat posed by this type of zombie far exceeds other zombies."

"We must disseminate information about the Corpse King as soon as possible; if any Evolutionary Squad encounters an Evolved Zombie suspected to be the Corpse King, it must be reported immediately!"
