Wasteland Commander-Chapter 393 - 84: How Zombies Disguise Themselves as Humans

Chapter 393: Chapter 84: How Zombies Disguise Themselves as Humans

Ma Guoxing immediately went to the control room, turned on the loudspeaker, and directly addressed the woman on the whale’s back.

"Miss standing on the whale, can we talk?"

He shouted with his last hope, treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

But unexpectedly, the ocean giant beast’s offensive suddenly stopped.

Those menacing big fish, those squids with their jaws and claws wide open, all paused at this moment, swimming slowly on the river surface without attacking the people in the water.

At this moment, Ma Guoxing understood that this woman was the queen of these ocean giant beasts!

Instead of being afraid, Ma Guoxing even felt excited.

A woman who could command ocean giant beasts, what kind of existence is this!

If he had the cooperation of the ocean giant beasts, he believed that even Ye Fan’s Dawn Army couldn’t resist, and if he could win over this woman, wouldn’t he become the most powerful person in the world!

Alliance with this woman, getting her on board, and even turning her into his own woman was also possible.

After all, this woman was so beautiful, he wouldn’t lose out no matter what.

Conquering the world and also getting the beauty, he must be the favored son of heaven.

In an instant, Ma Guoxing thought of ten years later and even already had the names of his future children with this beautiful woman in mind.

Suppressing his inner ecstasy, Ma Guoxing spoke in his gentlest tone: "Miss, I am Ma Guoxing, the leader of the Jiangnan Base. I was passing by here today, but I didn’t know the Yellow Leaf River was yours, and I apologize for that."

After speaking, Ma Guoxing placed a hand on his chest and performed a standard Qin Han Empire noble gesture.

As long as he could gain the woman’s favor, he would do anything, for a true man knows when to yield.

He had prepared a long speech, ready to talk for two hours if the woman didn’t respond.

But unexpectedly, the woman replied.

The woman slightly opened her mouth, but her voice came through clearly: "Why are you here?"

"Ah! Beautiful lady, your voice is truly melodious; you must be the daughter of the sea god, otherwise, how could you stand on the head of an ocean giant beast, and how could you project your voice without any amplification devices? Ma Guoxing expresses his highest admiration for you; today is my lucky day to have met my goddess, and my heart, which had cooled since the apocalypse, now beats fiercely for you!"

The woman’s expression grew colder, but she still asked another question: "Where are you heading?"

Ma Guoxing felt he was performing extraordinarily today, continuing to talk incessantly.

"I cannot describe your beauty with words; it is otherworldly beauty that I have never seen even in the pre-apocalyptic internet era. I have two bottles of Red Bull from 1982. Might I have the honor of inviting the lady to my ship for lunch?"

While Ma Guoxing was still proud of his performance and trying to display his gentlemanly demeanor, a giant squid suddenly squirted a jet of ink at him from the water!

Ma Guoxing, being a Level 2 Mutant, dodged in a panic, but in his haste, a bit of ink still landed on one of his legs.

His pants immediately dissolved with a large hole, and his skin began to rot.

Ma Guoxing hurriedly took out a dagger and quickly cut away the rotting flesh with a few swift strokes to prevent it from spreading.

After doing all this, Ma Guoxing’s face was extremely pale: "Miss... what is this!"

The woman opposite him snorted coldly: "Enough with the nonsense, answer my question, or next time it’ll be ten squids spraying you with strong acid."

Ma Guoxing finally realized that this woman could never possibly become involved with him.

He also recognized the gap between them; she simply didn’t take him seriously.

His good self-esteem disappeared instantly as he realized his life was still in her hands.

"Alright, alright! Miss, please don’t kill me, don’t kill me, ask me anything and I’ll tell you."

"Answer my previous question."

"Alright, alright, we are from Jiangnan Base City, and our destination is Dawn Island. Once we get through the Yellow Leaf River, we can directly launch an attack on Dawn Island, catching Ye Fan off guard."

The woman’s gaze swept over Ma Guoxing with a cold and piercing look: "You think you can take down Dawn Island?"

"No, no, no, I can’t do it alone. Once I make a move, Jiangzhou will coordinate with me. Now, most of the Dawn Army’s main forces have entered the Loose Province and Qi Lu Province, and the fleet has gone north. Our chances are quite good."

"And what will happen once you succeed?" the woman asked.

Ma Guoxing’s spirits lifted again: "When we succeed, Ye Fan will be out of the game, and Dawn Island will belong to me. His Divine Dragon Province and Loose Province will be divided by others. At that time, I could invite you to Dawn Island for a visit, and I’ll make sure to treat you well. Whatever you like, I can give it to you."

"And Dawn City?"

"Dawn City should belong to Fengtian Base. By then, Ye Fan’s forces will be wiped out, and all those close to him will pay the price. Their wealth, their houses, will all be confiscated..."

Upon hearing this, the woman slightly closed her eyes: "If that’s all there is, you can prepare to die."

Ma Guoxing immediately panicked. He had already answered whatever she asked, so why was he still going to die?

He urgently said: "Miss, miss, if you have any more questions, just ask. After all, I am a leader of a base city with considerable power, and I know many things and secrets. You can try asking me!"

The woman glanced at him: "Then let me ask you, is there any way to disguise a zombie as a human without being detected? If you can answer this question, I might consider giving you a chance to escape."

Ma Guoxing knew he was no match for this woman; he would answer almost anything at this moment.

Hearing this question, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Miss, you’ve asked the right person. I can say there’s almost no one else in the world who can answer this question apart from me."

"Oh! So confident?"

"Yes, you know I’m the leader of a base city, and now many base cities are secretly conducting research. Some research on old weapons, others on biochemical weapons, some on zombies, and even some on meteorites. My Jiangnan Base City is researching meteorites."

"Meteorites?"

"That’s correct, meteorites. This world was destroyed by a meteor shower that covered the entire globe, countless meteorites smashed into the ground. Among these meteorites are energies unknown to us. Do you know that zombies like to stay near meteorite craters?"

The woman nodded slightly; she did know this point.

Seeing the woman’s belief, Ma Guoxing sighed with relief: "My side has collected a lot of these meteorites and researched their effects. We found that there’s a type of meteorite that can change a person’s aura."

"How does it change?"

"By wearing the meteorite on the body, it can be compatible with the surrounding environment. I discovered by chance once, placing a meteorite on a zombie; even the dogs nearby didn’t bark at the zombie. If you ignore the zombie’s terrifying face and stiff movements, everyone would think it’s a person there."

Upon hearing this, the woman who had been indifferent showed joy on her face.

"What does the meteorite look like?"

Ma Guoxing, now saying everything he knew, immediately took out his phone, trying to show the woman a picture.

A giant octopus extended a tentacle, took Ma Guoxing’s phone, and handed it to the woman.

The woman stood on the back of a whale, carefully examining the shape of this meteorite.

"This kind of meteorite doesn’t seem to be common... ."

"That’s right, very hard to find. If miss needs this, you can consider letting me go. I will mobilize my people to help you gather these everywhere."

The woman glanced at him: "No need. To collect meteorites, I have my own ways."

"Then... miss said to give me a chance to escape, you won’t go back on your word, right."

The woman nodded lightly: "In ten minutes, the Ocean Giant Beast I control will launch a full-scale attack on your fleet, so you have ten minutes."

Ma Guoxing couldn’t help gritting his teeth, "Miss, why must you drive me to death? I shouldn’t have offended you."

The woman hummed softly: "What you’re doing now is offending me. You have nine minutes left."

Ma Guoxing secretly cursed in his heart but dared not linger.

The woman would control the Ocean Giant Beast to attack his fleet, so the waterways were neither viable nor feasible.

The only way was to abandon the ship and go ashore.

Ordinarily, Ma Guoxing wouldn’t dare to land because the shore was full of zombies.

But now, he did have a chance, because there was a place free of zombies on the shore, full of survivors. He could easily blend in with them.

"Turn the rudder! Approach the shore! Everyone abandon the ship and land."

His over a thousand ships had now almost half sunk, and only about sixty thousand soldiers remained.

These people dared not pause, immediately steering the ships towards the shore.

In no time, they reached the area where the survivors were, everyone desperately disembarking, hoping to survive.

When the ten minutes were up, the Ocean Giant Beast launched its attack immediately.

Over ten thousand people and more than a hundred ships failed to reach the shore and were directly annihilated by the Ocean Giant Beast.

Having already landed, Ma Guoxing, witnessing the tragedy in the river, finally could not hold back.

"Miss, this is too much, today’s events I’ll remember, let’s go."

The woman stood on the whale’s back and said to Ma Guoxing: "Do you think you can still leave?"

"Haha! Not necessarily. Here, the city clusters are densely packed with high-rises. It’s very inconvenient for your Ocean Giant Beast to come ashore, and when it reaches the zombie territory, I’d be pleased to see your Ocean Giant Beasts and zombies fighting."

The woman disdainfully curled her lips, then blinked her beautiful eyes.

From behind the high-rises where the survivors were, a large group of zombies emerged.

In the sky, countless Mutated Birds descended, blocking out the sun.

Zombies, Ocean Giant Beasts, Mutated Birds, coming simultaneously from land, sea, and air, formed an impenetrable, gigantic net, thoroughly trapping the remaining fifty thousand of Ma Guoxing’s men!
