Chapter 1086 -436: Frozen Lake_2
Everyone immediately nodded.
Although these frozen zombies were eerie, they had just fought with them and figured out the zombies’ patterns, so the next battle wouldn’t be as hard as before.
Wang Tao told He Jijun to continue driving on the same road as before, while he and Han Rui observed the surroundings carefully. Not long after they passed the place where they had fought the Freezing Overlord Zombie, Han Rui immediately signaled a warning.
“Zombies up ahead, they seem to be fourth-rank Frozen Zombies, but there aren’t many, just five in total,” she said.
“I’ll go!”
Xiang Hongbin immediately spoke up.
Just five Rank-4 Frozen Zombies were no challenge. He just wanted to get some exercise.
“Okay, but be careful,” Wang Tao said.
With Wang Tao’s nod, Xiang Hongbin immediately jumped off the car. Blue flames jetted out from his feet, and he dove into the blizzard.
Moments later, the people in the car saw Xiang Hongbin and the five zombie corpses at his feet.
Buzz—
The car door opened, and without the car even stopping, Xiang Hongbin jumped right back in.
“After familiarizing with these zombies’ traits, it indeed becomes much simpler. I feel like a normal Awakener should be able to handle a group of fourth-rank Frozen Zombies quite easily,” he said.
“Yes, the main issue is their freezing aura. Once you get used to the freezing aura, the rest isn’t a big problem; they’re just ordinary Elite Zombies,” Wang Tao said with a smile, then addressed everyone,
“We’re approaching the second area surrounded by the core of the zombie horde. Judging from the situation along the way, I feel there might be a lot of zombies there, maybe even a big battle ahead. Everyone, be on your guard,” he warned.
“Understood!”
The Crystal Energy Car kept moving and stopped about a minute later.
Han Rui told Wang Tao that she sensed many zombies ahead!
But these zombies were different, there were Frozen Zombies and those Ordinary Zombies.
“I guess some zombies have evolved and some haven’t… Let’s get out and check it out!” Wang Tao said.
Wang Tao asked He Jijun to park the car, and then everyone got out.
After they walked for a while, they finally saw the situation with the zombies.
“What the? These zombies are really frozen solid! It looks quite spectacular!”
The area where the zombies were located was rather low-lying, resembling a lake with little water, seemingly pitted and uneven. But now, the lake was covered with a lot of ice, turning into a frozen lake. Within these ice blocks were zombies that couldn’t move an inch, as far as the eye could see!
The scene before them was even more impressive than the information they had received. According to the City Hall report, these zombies were only slowed down, not immobilized. But what they saw now was not just sluggish movement; the zombies were completely encased in ice, utterly immobilized! If it weren’t for Han Rui saying these zombies were still alive, they would have thought the zombies might already be dead…
Facing such a scene, everyone instinctively exclaimed.
Wang Tao was also amazed. He thought that these Frozen Zombies must have evolved from these ice-bound zombies. After evolving, the zombies became Frozen Zombies and were able to leave. Those that failed to evolve remained Ordinary Zombies, frozen in place.
As for these zombies’ HP, Wang Tao roughly checked and saw they were all critically low! Basically, they were all between one-half to one-third of their full health.
Doesn’t this mean zombies aren’t immune to freezing to death, and that they can die!
But the time it would take to freeze them to death seemed long, judging from the current situation, at least a month of freezing was needed.
This was somewhat good news. However, another problem had arisen; zombies could evolve during the freezing process—
Just as Wang Tao thought of evolution, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
He saw a Level 3 Ordinary Zombie encased in ice at his front side. Its total HP was one hundred thousand, now only half remained, which was fifty thousand. Perhaps it would be frozen to death in another half month. But at this moment, its appearance started to show subtle changes, and simultaneously, its HP suddenly began to rise, recovering to full in seconds, and the maximum HP broke through one hundred thousand, reaching two hundred thousand!
Then cracks appeared on the ice encasing it.

Crash—
Following that, the ice blocks that had been encapsulating it shattered to pieces.
A full-health Fourth-order Frozen Zombie Elite appeared in Wang Tao’s field of view.
“…Is this the evolution of zombies!”
Having witnessed this scene, Wang Tao was still somewhat shocked.
This was clearly a Level 3 Ordinary Zombie, but it had not only ascended to Level 4 but also evolved into a Rank-4 Elite!
This wasn’t just ascending one level, it was equivalent to ascending two levels!
If Level 3 Ordinary Zombies can evolve into Fourth-order Elite Zombies, could Level 4 Ordinary Zombies evolve into Tier-Five Elites? And what about the original Level 4, Lords and Level 5, Lords? What would they evolve into?
Not to mention that there were already suspicions of sixth-order zombies appearing before, if they were to evolve further…
Then how would they, who were only at Level 4 at the moment, be able to fight!
“Zombies are coming!”
Han Rui’s voice interrupted Wang Tao’s thoughts. The zombie that had just completed its evolution seemed to have caught wind of their scent and immediately started twisting its body and walking towards them.
Wang Tao immediately rushed over and within a few slashes, he killed the Rank-4 Elite Zombie with 200,000 HP. Without the enhancement of “Ice Chain,” their defense was much weaker, making it quite easy for Wang Tao to kill them.
However, Wang Tao didn’t relax in the slightest. He quickly shared his observations and some of his predictions and concerns with the others.
After listening everyone’s expressions became very serious, clearly recognizing this as an issue that needed to be taken seriously.
“There’s not much we can do now but to do our best to kill all these zombies quickly and try to prevent them from evolving into Frozen Zombies! Let’s split up and act!”
“Yes!”
The zombies currently in front of Wang Tao and his group were all unevolved zombies, and those that had evolved had either already left or were further inside the lake. Due to the blizzard, it was temporarily unclear what the situation was like deeper in, but with him and Jiang Shixue on guard, it wasn’t a big problem.
Wang Tao and his companions spread out, beginning to hunt the zombies encased in the ice blocks.
The ice was very hard; it felt like even the ice that formed after the apocalypse was different from before. But most of them were Awakeners, so naturally, there wasn’t much difficulty in destroying these ice blocks. Moreover, not all zombies were completely frozen; a lot of them had only their lower halves trapped in ice while their heads were fine. So, hunting them wasn’t difficult at all.
Thirty minutes later, everyone regrouped.
There were smiles on everyone’s faces.
“That was refreshingly good hunting!”
Xiang Hongbin laughed heartily.
He couldn’t recall how many zombies he had killed just now; all he knew was his backpack was almost too full of Crystal Cores.
“We’ve pretty much dealt with all the Ordinary Zombies around the perimeter, but there are more zombies deeper in the lake, and they’re all Frozen Zombies. What do you think?”
Wang Tao looked towards the group.
“We continue deeper!”
The group was enthusiastic.
“Then let’s go. But this time, let’s not split up, everyone stick close to me.”
Wang Tao and Han Rui led the way, guiding their group deeper into the frozen lake.
They hadn’t gone far before a few fourth-rank Frozen Zombies appeared. The group dealt with them quickly and then kept going deeper. More waves of Frozen Zombies came, but they were all easily dealt with without any difficulty.
But everyone’s expressions were very solemn, without a hint of relaxation. This was because the further they traveled towards the middle of the lake, the more Frozen Zombies they encountered.
“With this situation… Could there be a Zombie Lord here?”
Qu Shilin whispered.
“Most likely there is.”
Wang Tao replied.
He had come here for the Zombie Lord, but for the time being, Han Rui had not detected any Lords.
The group continued moving deeper and after killing several Frozen Zombies, Han Rui suddenly grabbed Wang Tao’s hand.
“There’s a Zombie Lord ahead, but it’s Level 5! And it seems different from the Frozen Zombies we saw before…”
