Chapter 1436: Chapter 597: Lightning Ascension to Level 6

“Gone?”

After an indeterminable amount of ti, Wang Tao could no longer rember how many Giant Zombies he had hunted; he had already waited for half an hour and no more zombies had erged from the deep pit. He wondered if they had all been killed…

“Lightning!”

Wang Tao waited a bit longer and, confirming that no more Giant Zombies were appearing, he called for Lightning.

“Woof~”

Lightning quickly ran over, barking happily. This ti, it had its fill, eating as many zombies as Wang Tao killed.

“Let’s go down and have a look!”

“Woof~”

The pit was deeper than Wang Tao had anticipated, and he carefully made his way to the bottom after a while.

“If this were compared to other rifts, this deep pit would be about the depth of ten rifts!”

The deepest rift Wang Tao had seen before was only three levels. The deep pit in front of him was indeed very deep, but it was also this depth that allowed the Giant Zombies to move freely. In those regular rifts, Giant Zombies would probably get stuck if they entered.

After reaching the bottom, Wang Tao noticed a slight Radiation Status on himself, but it was minimal and had little effect for the ti being.

Then Wang Tao took a look around—there were clear signs of an explosion. It was obviously caused by a nuclear bomb, likely a small one, most likely a tactical nuclear bomb. If it had been a high-yield strategic nuclear bomb, this wouldn’t rely be a deep pit but would have erased the entire region.

Wang Tao guessed that this rift must have been there before and just happened to rupture during the nuclear explosion. Perhaps because of the radiation, so changes occurred inside, resulting in many Giant Zombies?

However, aside from a bit of radiation, Wang Tao didn’t see any other anomalies or any Giant Zombies.

Wang Tao proceeded deeper with Lightning.

“Woof~”

Suddenly, Lightning barked softly. It slled the stench of Giant Zombies.

So Wang Tao let Lightning lead the way.

Before long, Wang Tao saw a Giant Zombie.

“Is it… sleeping?”

It was a Giant Zombie with a Freezing aura, and Wang Tao could clearly sense the Basic Law Force within it. But at the mont, it was sitting on the ground with its eyes closed, as if asleep.

Well, nothing more to say—if it’s asleep, it’s ti to take its life!

Swoosh—

Roar!

…

After so ti, Wang Tao finally disposed of the Freezing Giant Zombie.

Just as Wang Tao picked up the spoils of war and Lightning had just swallowed the corpse of the Giant Zombie, a rumbling of footsteps ca from afar.

“There’s more Giant Zombies coming, and not just one!”

Wang Tao had refrained from coming down earlier precisely because he feared being ambushed.

In a one-on-one situation, Wang Tao was sure to kill a Sixth-Rank Giant Zombie; if two ca at once, he could still kill them but would take more ti; if three ca at him, Lightning would need to attract the attention of one or two zombies.

However, if he were to face more than three Sixth-Rank Giant Zombies at the sa ti, Wang Tao would have to retreat. After all, the Giant Zombies had strong attack power, and even with many defensive asures, getting hit was not pleasant.

Now, judging from the footsteps, the number of Giant Zombies was obviously more than three, probably around four or five.

“Let’s get back up!”

The space in the deep pit was limited, and Wang Tao could easily be ambushed.

But on the ground, it was different. Wang Tao himself could fly and could also ride the Golden Eagle. He could flee if ambushed; as long as he was careful not to get attacked by the Giant Zombies, it wouldn’t be a big issue.

Whoosh—

Wang Tao imdiately unfolded his Dark Blood Great Wing, grabbing Lightning and flying upwards.

A Giant Zombie had spotted Wang Tao, and it roared in anger, chasing after him.

However, with its speed, it clearly couldn’t stop Wang Tao.

What Wang Tao didn’t expect was that the Giant Zombie suddenly bent down, picked up a rock from the ground, and hurled it at Wang Tao.

Hearing the whistling sound by his ear, Wang Tao imdiately twisted his body and dodged, but his expression soured.

“…They’ve learned to use tools!”

In comparison to humans, zombies’ only weakness might be their stupidity, acting purely on instinct. However, the Freezing Giant Zombie Wang Tao had encountered before displayed so intelligence, and the subsequent zombies could even use biological weapons. Now this Giant Zombie had used a rock as a weapon… It was obvious, zombies were getting smarter!

If zombies ever beca as smart as humans—no, they didn’t need human-level intelligence, even so animal intelligence would spell trouble for mankind.

After all, zombies themselves were too powerful! Even a bit of intelligence would give them an overwhelming advantage. Humans would face even more difficult tis ahead!

With a sigh in his heart, Wang Tao continued to fly toward the surface.

After dodging a few more rocks on the way, Wang Tao successfully flew outside.

The Golden Eagle was waiting outside. Wang Tao landed on its back, preparing for combat.

“Right, since the space below this pit is so big that even Giant Zombies can move freely, the Golden Eagle shouldn’t be a problem either. Maybe I can go back in with the Golden Eagle to check…”

Wang Tao’s Dark Blood Great Wing had many advantages, but its disadvantage couldn’t be ignored—that was its limited endurance. It could only fly for about ten minutes at most, which was fine for one or two Giant Zombies, but definitely not for so many.

But with the Golden Eagle, it wouldn’t be necessary to draw the Giant Zombies outside like now…
