Chapter 57

Kee!

The heavy rain had been falling for a day and a night, the accumulated water on the ground was deep, submerging the ankles, and the entire world seemed to have turned into a vast swamp. Amidst this heavy rain, a series of fierce roars rose up from the corners of this unfamiliar city, one after another.

Li Mu stood expressionless on the rooftop of a skyscraper, his right hand holding a bone knife that was as sharp as a blade, with raindrops falling like blood. Behind him, black bone spines pierced through the raindrops.

The red mutant parrot perched on Li Mu's shoulder, excited yet somewhat fearful. Li Mu's eyes were silver, cold, and merciless. A twisted mental wave emanated from him, distorting and spreading through the rain, covering the entire city.

Figures quickly cut through the rain, carrying a savage and bloodthirsty aura, converging from all corners of the city. Roars echoed continuously as they gathered below the skyscraper where Li Mu stood. Blood-red eyes looked up at Li Mu.

Li Mu's expression remained unchanged, his gaze piercing through the rain. He did not pay attention to the sea of zombies below, who were crowded together like a raging tide. At this moment, the number of zombies under Li Mu's command and control in the city had already reached over a hundred thousand, with more still on their way.

"Great King, have you completed your evolution? Are you going to destroy those damned humans?"

The red mutant parrot could sense the mental fluctuations of any living being, but after Li Mu's evolution, it was even more afraid of him and dared not use its ability on him, only daring to ask.

Li Mu's expression remained unchanged. He coldly glanced at the zombie army gathered below the skyscraper, nodded slightly, and spread his hands. The skyscraper beneath his feet began to tremble violently. With a thunderous roar, the entire building suddenly broke from the bottom, rising into the air like a throne, supporting Li Mu's authority and glory.

The floating skyscraper, like a warship, carried Li Mu forward, crashing through other buildings along the way, causing them to collapse with deafening explosions.

The skyscraper rose higher and higher, gradually towering over the entire city. Li Mu stood on the rooftop, facing the rain and wind, and the grotesque figures below began to move, following Li Mu's will, sprinting forward.

"Great King, Sydney is in that direction."

The red mutant parrot called out, having carefully studied the map and, from its vantage point, clearly identified the direction.

Li Mu's eyes were silver, standing in the rain and wind, with the floating skyscraper beneath his feet serving as his throne. Now, he was going to select his army.

The red mutant parrot sensed Li Mu's thoughts and realized, "That's right. Great King, let's unify all the zombies in Australia and then completely destroy those damned humans."

The red mutant parrot understood Li Mu's plan. Humans still possessed terrifying weapons, and although Li Mu was fearless, even he could not eliminate all the humans in the forward base alone. There would inevitably be some who escaped. Once all the zombies in Australia were gathered, they would surround the city, and not a single one of those damned humans would be spared!

If there were satellites that could capture the scene, they would see through the heavy rain that an incredible floating skyscraper was moving like a warship over Australia, and below it, a vast sea of black shadows—zombies that terrified humans—were running and rampaging like a storm, countless in number, as if all the zombies in Australia had gathered together.

Unfortunately, after the outbreak of the Dead Virus, all the satellites in outer space lost contact with Earth. Even if a few powerful bases had re-launched satellites, they were only communication satellites to prevent the bases from losing contact. Doing anything else was beyond their capabilities.

Melbourne.

In a dimly lit room, Annie was telling a story to her younger sister. At the door, Charlie, with blood-red eyes, stared at the little girl.

Suddenly, a struggle flashed in Charlie's blood-red eyes. Annie had been paying attention to Charlie's condition and, seeing this, instinctively hugged her sister tighter.

After a moment of struggle, Charlie suddenly roared, turned, and jumped to the window, his eyes shining as he looked up at the sky. Annie was startled, suddenly remembering something, and quickly ran out of the room, standing beside Charlie, looking out the window.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and amidst the blue lightning, a massive black shadow swept over Melbourne. Clearly visible on the streets of Melbourne were countless bloodthirsty figures beginning to run and chase after the black shadow.

Charlie's eyes flickered with struggle, eager to join the chase. Annie suddenly gasped, "It's him. It's Li Mu, isn't it?"

Without answering, the human and the zombie could only watch as the massive black shadow slowly moved away. Through the heavy rain, Annie could see the cold figure standing on the incredible skyscraper that flew like a warship in the dark sky, feeling a sense of loss.

The gathering of zombies continued. After completing his evolution, Li Mu displayed an extremely powerful mental control ability. After devouring two Kings, Li Mu's mental control ability became even more terrifying, making him the tyrant of all the zombies in Australia, capable of controlling all the zombies in the country.

The exact number of zombies in Australia—ten million, twenty million—was unimaginable. If they truly gathered together, not just a single forward base but even the entire military force of Australia, if still intact, would be crushed by the terrifying zombie tide.

Li Mu did not rush to Sydney but instead navigated the skyscraper like a warship, traveling to various parts of Australia, gathering all the zombies.

The massive gathering of zombies, moving forward without end, triggered the first wave of zombie evolution, which was supposed to occur much later.

Li Mu's expression remained unchanged, coldly watching as the zombies under his command began to devour and evolve each other. In just one night, the dense zombie horde that stretched for miles became sparse, though still numerous, with over 80% of them eliminated.

The red mutant parrot was somewhat startled, as it was the first time it had witnessed the brutal devouring among zombies. However, it soon noticed that many formidable zombies seemed to have emerged from the devouring. The red mutant parrot clearly saw that one zombie had evolved into a King, attempting to resist Li Mu's control. Li Mu's eyes turned cold, and his figure flickered. In an instant, he disappeared and reappeared on the skyscraper's rooftop, with the zombie that tried to resist his control now a desiccated corpse on the black bone spines on his back.

This sudden slaughter made the evolved zombies, who had just undergone a wave of evolution and were instinctively resisting Li Mu's control, hesitate. Li Mu's silver eyes flickered, cold and merciless. His right hand, holding the bone knife, suddenly pointed toward Sydney, Garden Island, and the forward base!
