Chapter 48 Returning to War Dragon City
Kong Yun activated his brain again and entered his information into it.
"Didi didi di!" When the brain connected to the Internet, a series of messages popped up. The earliest time was half a year ago.
"Big brother, my flamingo has hatched. Isn"t it cute?" This was a message sent by her sister Kong Jiashi, along with a picture of her and the flamingo.
"Big brother, are you busy? Why aren"t you returning to me?"
"Brother, where are you?"
From the lines, it could be seen that this little girl had already begun to panic, and there had been no news of her brother for several months.
"Big brother, Zhan Long City has been destroyed. Are you alright? Big brother, don"t scare me!"
Kong Yun"s heart grew heavier and heavier as he looked at Kong Jiashi"s message. He could imagine how helpless this little girl had been these past six months.
"Big brother is fine. His brain went bad a while ago." Kong Yun thought for a moment and immediately sent a message back.
"Big brother, you"re fine. That"s great!" Kong Jiashi replied quickly, with a pleasantly surprised smile on her face.
Kong Yun turned on the video call function, "Do you think I"m okay?"
"Great, great. Brother, you scared me to death. I haven"t heard from you for more than half a year." Kong Jiashi let out a long sigh of relief.
Kong Yun smiled faintly, "Right now, I"m not an ordinary person. There aren"t many people who can hurt me."
"Big talk!" Kong Jiashi wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
"How is the situation outside now?" Kong Yun couldn"t help but ask. He had been isolated from the world for too long, and now he didn"t know anything about what was happening outside.
Kong Jiashi"s expression changed slightly, "Very bad!"
"What happened here?" Kong Yun"s heart sank.
"The zombies rioted. Many new types of zombies appeared. Many small cities were destroyed. Tianjing City was also attacked by zombies. However, the zombies were repelled." Kong Jiashi said.
Tianjing City was the capital of China. The most elite troops were stationed around Tianjing City. Most of the experts in China were in Tianjing City. It was definitely not that simple for zombies to take Tianjing City.
However, Kong Yun"s expression was still incomparably solemn. From his sister"s words, it could be seen that the new type of zombies did not only appear near Zhan Long City, there were a large number of new types of zombies appearing throughout China.
"By the way, brother, I found some special ability materials in the library of Huaxia Academy. I"ll pa.s.s them on to you right away." Kong Jiashi said.
Thick information was transmitted to Kong Yun"s brain. In order to gather information about these abilities, Kong Jiashi stayed in the library for a long time and even consulted the seniors of the Ability Academy.
"It"s been hard on you. I need you to take care of my parents. I can"t go to Tianjing City for a short time. Don"t tell them what happened outside to prevent them from worrying." Kong Yun said.
Kong Jiashi nodded, "I understand!"
Kong Yun closed his brain and let out a long sigh of relief. The situation was even more serious than he had imagined. Many cities had been destroyed. The appearance of the new type of zombies was indeed a major blow to humans.
Ability was a completely new power for humans. Many scholars and professors in Huaxia Academy were studying abilities, and they had put forward many ideas about abilities.
One of these ideas caught Kong Yun"s interest. This was a myth and legend theory. Compared to the abilities he discovered now, he would be surprised to find that these abilities were very similar to the legendary spells.
Some people can control fire after awakening a fire ability, After awakening the Earth Element ability, they had the ability to change the earth. The Water Element ability could activate the water of rivers in a single thought. The Wood Element ability could create a towering tree in the blink of an eye. Before the ability appeared, this was considered a myth, but now it really happened around them.
This conjecture combined with many myths and legends in the history of China. One by one, even mutated beasts could be related to myths and legends. There were many beasts in myths and legends that possessed unbelievable power. This was also very similar to the mutated beasts of today.
Generally speaking, there were many types of abilities, but they could also be cla.s.sified into five types.
Elementium element, capable of converting a part or all of the body into an element.
Skill type, possessing a single skill, fireball, wind blade, and the like. Moreover, these abilities would constantly evolve and become more and more powerful.
A variation of a part of the body, such as an eye variation, that has a hundred times the vision of an ordinary person, or that can transform into a body to obtain powerful strength.
Auxiliary, stimulating plants, healing wounds.
Spirit, which generates spiritual force, can control the thoughts of objects and even humans.
At first, Kong Jiashi thought Kong Yun"s metal ability was a mutation department, but after discussing it with the seniors of the Ability Academy, the people of the Ability Academy were more inclined towards the Elemental Department.
The most obvious feature of an elemental ability was that it could convert a part of one"s body or body into a certain element. After converting into this element, it could greatly reduce the damage one received, and could even immunize against damage.
Elemental abilities were fairly rare amongst the five major abilities. Anyone who awakened an elemental ability would be able to become an outstanding elite amongst the Adepts if nothing unexpected happened.
"Elemental?" Kong Yun looked at his palm. He was indeed able to convert his entire body into metal, which was in line with the characteristics of an elemental ability.
As abilities were a completely new type of power, humans had yet to have a systematic method to cultivate them. All of them were at the groping stage.
But then again, even if someone discovered a cultivation method, they wouldn"t take it out so kindly. The good stuff was just for exclusive use.
Kong Yun"s fingers kept pointing at the map. Many cities had been destroyed. Small cities could not be visited, only those cities with stronger defenses.
"Third-cla.s.s cities must be excluded!" Kong Yun pointed his finger, and the red dots on the map instantly decreased by more than half.
"The zombie attack this time is very fierce. Second-cla.s.s cities may not be safe." More than half of the red dots on the map were missing.
Kong Yun"s gaze swept back and forth across these cities, his defense was strong, and there was only one city close to him, Haimen City.
Before the outbreak of Tian Qi virus, Haimen City was the munic.i.p.ality directly under the Central Government of China and the financial center of China. Because of its high consumption, the people of China even called it Shanghai.
After the outbreak of the Tian Qi virus, Haimen City had also become one of the few first-cla.s.s cities in China. In terms of prosperity, it could be said that it was no less prosperous than the capital, Tianjing City.
Haimen City was so prosperous that it became the second largest city in China after Tianjing City. The Ji Clan had contributed a lot. An extremely ancient clan had exuded astonishing vitality after the Tian Qi virus.
"Ji Wushuang, Fire Elemental Adept, Flame Emperor, nine S-cla.s.s Adepts in China!" Kong Yun looked at Ji Wushuang"s information. No matter which t.i.tle it was, it was enough to make people worship it.
There were only nine S-cla.s.s Adepts searching all over China. All of them were experts guarding the area. With an S-cla.s.s Adept guarding the area, even if they were attacked by zombies, they would still be safe and sound.
Although Kong Yun"s current ability was considered quite powerful, he was only barely able to reach the lower B-cla.s.s. Compared to an S-cla.s.s ability, he was much weaker.
Kong Yun also knew the level of an Adept. An S-cla.s.s Adept was already standing at the top of an Adept, the most powerful Adept.
"Haimen City, it seems to be a bit far from here." Kong Yun frowned slightly. The map showed that it was at least a thousand kilometers away from him.
A thousand kilometers. I don"t know how many zombies and mutated beasts I"ll encounter. Walking across a thousand kilometers without any information is practically courting death.
However, Zhan Long City had been destroyed, and the only armored train that could connect to the outside world...
Kong Yun"s eyes flashed. After the outbreak of the Tian Qi virus, the main means of transportation between the cities was armoured trains. The thick armoured trains could withstand the attacks of most zombies and mutated beasts. If he could find an armoured train, he might have a chance to go to Haimen City.
"But even Zhan Long City has been destroyed. Will the armored train still be here?" Kong Yun frowned.
Kong Yun took a deep breath. Regardless of whether the armored train was still there or not, he had already made a trip to Zhanlong City.
After Zhan Long City was destroyed, it became the territory of zombies. Only a few of the millions of humans in Zhan Long City had escaped. Most of them were infected. Therefore, the number of zombies in the vicinity of Zhan Long City was at least around one million.
Millions of zombies, even millions of ordinary zombies, were an astonishing number, not to mention that new types of zombies would evolve out of these millions of zombies. This was no ordinary trouble.
However, Kong Yun still had a sliver of hope. The zombies were only interested in human flesh and blood. They had no interest in hard steel. If nothing unexpected happened, they would not destroy the armored train.
Although he was prepared, Kong Yun couldn"t help but suck in a breath of cold air when he saw the vast expanse of zombies and the bloodstained walls of War Dragon City.
More than half of the 50-meter-tall city wall had been damaged. The broken city wall was covered in black blood. Kong Yun didn"t even dare to imagine how cruel the battle on that day was.
Kong Yun tried his best to take a light step. Under the effect of his special ability, Kong Yun"s feet didn"t make any noise as he stepped on the ground. He avoided the zombies and walked forward in the shadows. He touched Zhan Long City.
The zombies" sense of smell and hearing was far stronger than their vision. As long as there was no smell of blood on their bodies and there wasn"t too much noise, it would be difficult for the zombies to discover Kong Yun.
Fire Phoenix scouts in the sky. If there was danger ahead, Fire Phoenix would warn them in time!
Kong Yun had been in Zhan Long City for so long, so he already knew the route to Zhan Long City Station. He avoided a t.i.tan zombie and climbed up a building. Kong Yun saw the armored train stopping at the station!
