Chapter 103: Shen Dong Is Leaving

The pale moon once again vanished behind the veil of darkness.

The predators of the earth had finally calmed after the tumultuous uprising, yet the howls and screams persisted without end.

In the New Mart Tower of ZZ City.

This was a towering commercial building, standing one hundred and fifty stories tall, located just a kilometer from the city center.

It was only a straight road away from the Sky Pillar.

“Damn, this is absolutely spectacular! Even more intense than a military parade! These zombies are like ants, a dense black mass stretching as far as the eye can see. We must have used up lifetimes of luck just to sneak in here,” Shen Dong exclaimed, donning Chu Wei’s Sky Pillar gear, his voice exaggerated with awe.

From the rooftop on the 150th floor, looking down, the entire city center lay almost fully exposed beneath them, even half the city visible in one sweeping glance.

Unfortunately, it was night, with no natural light. Even with advanced equipment, they could only discern the zombie horde at short distances.

Yet, even so, the optimistic Shen Dong was visibly shaken.

Passing the night-vision goggles from hand to hand, everyone had taken a look before falling into a unified silence.

They had no idea how to proceed in such conditions, how to break through this dense, endless tide of zombies — and the zombies themselves were not the worst threat.

Amid the horde lurked zombie beasts and infected normal animals, and the advanced zombies were undoubtedly buried within this vast sea of undead.

The old method of smearing the intestines and blood of zombies on their bodies, as they had done in the isolated gathering zone before, was clearly no longer feasible.

But to simply turn back now seemed like such a waste. As Shen Dong had said, the five of them and a dog had managed to break in purely by luck.

If they tried again, even Cao Fusheng wouldn’t dare guarantee such an easy passage.

Cao Fusheng furrowed his brow; he was the only one who could see the ground clearly without any equipment.

In fact, he could see further and with greater clarity.

That meant he understood the peril better than anyone else — it wasn’t just the city center. In truth, except for the outermost areas and the suburbs, ZZ City was completely packed with predators!

There was not even the slightest gap to slip through. As the saying goes, flies don’t bite eggs without cracks.

The Sky Pillar was truly sealed off without a single crack.

Cao Fusheng clenched his fists and slammed them against the table in frustration. They had to get inside!

The Sky Pillar must not be extinguished!

Right now, he was the only one who could prevent the Sky Pillar from dying out. If the surviving gathering zones, the Sky Pillar itself, or the base could have saved it, they would have done so long ago.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have left it hanging for months, nor forced it to emit a signal wave covering hundreds of kilometers, consuming massive amounts of energy in a desperate plea for help.

“Chu Wei, is thereI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
