Chapter 1250: A Hair-Raising Scene!
No one had expected it.
On Jupiter, there actually existed a vast desert covering an area of up to ten million square kilometers. Crucially, it was concentrated on the westernmost edge of the entire continent.
According to the 'Druid Rose Witch', when she saw over half the world turn a lifeless earthy yellow in her 'Crystal Ball' back then, it was clear that this desert was still spreading outwards at an astonishing speed.
In this vast and boundless desert expanse, besides the frequently raging sandstorms, large numbers of Mummy Zombies, Explorer Zombies holding torches, and even Reaper Zombies wearing Black Dog Hats roamed.
They could run and jump, and their strength was relatively large for ordinary people. A single bite drawing blood could complete the infection within ten minutes. Crucially, their numbers were extremely large. One must know that only Dave remained of the humans on Jupiter. Although the battles with the Magical Plants over the years had consumed quite a bit of their zombie forces, the remaining zombie numbers were still over a hundred million, and they possessed cloning technology!
Fifty meters deep underground in the desert, there existed an unimaginably vast and unbelievably complex Underground City system.
Buildings primarily made of rock as the main material varied in height, arranged in a staggered yet orderly manner. And it wasn't as dark as imagined; instead, it was brightly lit.
Everywhere were colorful neon lights, display screens playing television, and one could even hear rhythmic music echoing.
On the streets and alleys, there were no bustling vehicles. Groups of zombies, some breakdancing, some tap dancing, others holding electric guitars and playing heavy metal music, occupied the space. Surrounding them were large numbers of zombies dressed in punk attire, twisting their bodies to the music, seemingly every one of them immersed in this joy.
Besides this, one could also see many zombies who seemed to dislike the commotion. They quietly stayed at home or stood by the roadside, lowering their heads and reading the newspapers in their hands.
And in the air, one could even see some zombies with balloons tied around their waists, floating towards a certain direction.
To be honest, if not for their grayish-green skin, dull, lifeless eyes, and the unintelligible sounds they occasionally roared out, the entire scene looked like a normal modern European/American city.
"What a bizarre scene. A group of living dead who eat human brains raw are actually living the life of normal humans..."
On the top floor of a certain tall building, Pakura, whose body below the head was covered by 'White Zetsu', merging with the building itself, looked at the incredibly lively carnival scene below and whispered softly.
Three days ago, when they first discovered this place, they were simply too shocked to speak. But as the two teams of Ninja continuously delved deeper into the investigation, their shocked feelings gradually shifted towards horror and shock mixed with rage.
The horror was that these zombies really had their own university. Besides teaching the 'Scientific Knowledge' left behind by the 'Pre-Human Civilization', the school would also impart 'Magic Knowledge' to zombies confirmed to have talent. They even had physical education class.
The curriculum was learning the usage techniques of various cold weapons and the martial arts fist techniques of hand-to-hand combat.
Besides this, they had even researched and developed a new subject called 'Necrology'. Combined with the science and technology from before humans, they could achieve cloning or renovation of zombies, as well as cloning 'food'...
At that time, Pakura's team of Ninja, based on a certain zombie's memory, infiltrated into a deeper zone they called the 'Food Storage'.
There they personally witnessed zombies dressed in peculiar ways, one by one, holding white boxes, lining up in a long queue to successively receive the food for the next week. And the so-called food was white, fleshy things with streaks of blood.
Pakura and the others strongly suppressed their nausea and continued to investigate the source of this 'food'. Then they discovered a zone so terror-inducing it made everyone's hair stand on end.
There stood over a thousand, no, it should be several thousand transparent pods filled with green liquid and naked human bodies. Every once in a while, several teams of zombies would come over to collect the mature bodies.
They would first drain out the nutrient solution, then open the pod covers. Finally, using a crude mechanical arm, they grabbed the 'human' inside and casually threw them into the sheet metal carriage behind. When the carriage was full, they would then slowly proceed to the next process zone...
Now they understood how that 'food' came to be.
At that time, Pakura wished she could just charge out and use her Scorch Release and Fire Release to completely burn away all the evil there!
But fortunately, she still had rationality and remembered her identity and mission. In the end, she could only grit her teeth, forcefully suppress her rage, and difficultly turn and leave.
After returning to the 'Safe House', she immediately took out a Den Den Mushi. She informed the Command Center of the Third Main Battle Legion everything they had seen.
These zombies had indeed cultivated their own unique civilization. But this kind of civilization, for humans, was an unforgivable sin. When the two meet, it can only be a fight to the death.
The last time, zombies annihilated humans. This time, they encountered the World Government, and still only one side can continue to survive.
"However, all of this will soon turn to dust..."
Pakura's icy gaze scanned back and forth between the nearby urban areas. In the past few days, they weren't just gathering intelligence.
According to subsequent orders, the two teams of Ninja were simultaneously locking onto the 'Zombie King's' position and collecting books and data related to 'Necrology', 'Magic', and 'Qigong'.
This approach naturally alarmed quite a few zombies. The security level of the entire Underground City these past few days had clearly increased significantly. Zombies wearing police uniforms and large Giant Zombies were almost visible everywhere.
However, for Pakura, Baba, and the others, it had no effect. Ninja were originally skilled at hiding, and now they also had the help of 'White Zetsu'.
A moment later, Pakura phased into the building. She returned to the 'Safe House' they made using Earth Release within the rock layer.
If zombies could build an Underground City, they naturally also could make a room underground. And the environment was quite good.
Not only did everyone have their own room, but there was also a small living room for discussions.
Especially the Den Den Mushi, to prevent them from making noise during stealth, they were temporarily placed here, guarded by the Medical Ninja in the team.
"Captain." Seeing Pakura return, Yamanaka Tetsuji, Hyuga Yoji, and Hayashida Reiko immediately stood up and greeted her.
"Mm, tomorrow we are going to have a big fight. Everyone get a good rest tonight!"
"Yes!"
Pakura instructed seriously, and the three replied seriously.
According to the latest order, tomorrow at eleven in the morning, an aviation wing from the Air Force Headquarters will bombard the 'Pyramid Royal City' on the ground.
At the same time, a regiment-level army unit with a military strength reaching two thousand five hundred people will enter the field to sweep.
And the mission of these two teams of Ninja is to take the opportunity while most of the zombies are attracted away, to kill or capture alive the 'Zombie King', Gargantuar!
This Gargantuar is said to be the second generation 'Zombie King'. And is also the genetic progenitor of all Giant Zombies, possessing the most formidable violence.
So the mission also mentioned that if they find it difficult to defeat, they can choose to retreat, but must monitor the opponent's position.
At that time, Pakura also specifically asked whether they could set fire and burn down the Underground City, but was rejected by the Command Center. Instead, they were required not to cause too much destruction, especially those technology equipment.
This made Pakura very depressed, but she could only obey the order.
"Tomorrow..."
Lying on the wooden bed made using Wood Release, Pakura gazed at the earthy colored ceiling.
Those terror scenes seen before still occasionally surfaced in her mind. This feeling is really very bad.
It was the first time she had encountered such detestable creatures. Those zombies shouldn't exist in this world.
Then she slowly closed her eyes, resting and recuperating for the upcoming combat!
