Chapter 163: The Undead Clan!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In most literary works or film and television productions, zombies, also known as the undead, were usually depicted as a group of monsters only driven by their desire for flesh and blood.
They were disorganized and undisciplined, resembling humans in appearance but behaving more like bloodthirsty beasts.
Originally, Lu Ming thought that the zombies he had encountered in the apocalypse were also like this, but Sima Xiao had taught Lu Ming a valuable lesson.
Advanced-level zombies had different evolutionary paths, and in certain special paths of evolution, zombies could regain intelligence comparable to humans!
Yamamoto Yuichiro was such a zombie.
At Level 4, Yamamoto Yuichiro took the right evolutionary path and evolved into a glorious Devourer.
At that time, chaos reigned in Tokyo city, with various zombie king teams and human groups engaged in fierce battles.
In a certain battle, Yamamoto Yuichiro was ambushed and surrounded by a coalition of humans—there, the leader was Akasawa, the guy who was bitten to death by the exotic beast and was lying at the feet of Yamamoto Yuichiro.
In short, after a disastrous defeat, Yamamoto Yuichiro barely escaped death and ran into the Black Mist Zone…
He was lucky.
The landing point of Tokyo within the Black Mist Zone happened to be in the vicinity. Just as Yamamoto Yuichiro was about to become the exotic beasts’ prey, a special existence saved him and granted him a tremendous opportunity!
On the way to Nanxiang gathering place, Yamamoto Yuichiro recalled that incident again, and his eyes could not help but emit a red light.
“The Undead Clan…”
He could not help but mutter these words, and the snake on his neck repeated softly.
“Yes, the Undead Clan.”
“There’s also the Undead Spirit.”
“Yes, the Undead Spirit.”
Since Lu Ming and the others were called the new generation of Tribulation Transcenders, surely there were also old generation Tribulation Transcenders.
According to an ancient legend in the Black Mist Zone, all the intelligent species within it were past Tribulation Transcenders!
According to the records, the experiences of every generation of Tribulation Transcenders were quite similar—mystery factors invaded, violence fused with intelligent clans, strong individuals embarked on the path of evolution, and the weak turned into zombies.
This led to a consequence.
Every generation would produce a large number of zombies.
Their original clans were different.
However, after becoming zombies, they all consumed their own clan. In the end, they were all rejected by their own clan.
In the Black Mist Zone, there were many zombies, but some did not quite fit in.
Until a certain generation, a zombie completed the path to ascension and completely abandoned its own clan, ruling in the name of the Undead Spirit! From then on, the many but scattered zombies were completely integrated and became one of the most powerful clans in the Black Mist Zone—the Undead Clan!
At the mention of the Undead Clan, Yamamoto Yuichiro was filled with a sense of belonging.
This was because at that time, it was the powerful beings of the Undead Clan that saved him from danger.
It was also the experts of the Undead Clan who taught him the breathing techniques and provided him with blood food full of abundant energy, helping him embark on the right and perfect path of evolution.
It could be said that without the Undead Clan, he would not be where he was today.
What’s more, it was the Undead Clan that gave Yamamoto a lot but asked for very little in return.
No tasks, no commands, and they even sent a death-restraining zombie snake to be Yamamoto’s guardian.
“It’s not that we don’t have any requirements for you. There’s one requirement – we hope you grow stronger as quickly as possible.”
“After all, as a contemporary Tribulation Transcender, you inherently have the qualifications to ascend to the heavens. Moreover, your abilities are quite unique. The higher-ups value your potential very much.”
“In the future, you have an extremely small chance of fighting for the supreme position of this generation.”
“In short, you can do anything you want. You just have to remember that you’ll always be a part of the Undead Clan, that’s enough.”
The zombie snake murmured in Yamamoto’s ear like reciting a mantra, all the while guiding him – it seemed to know where Velo and Fala were coming from, pointing him to exactly the right direction.
As for Yamamoto, he nodded while swiftly maneuvering through the wilderness.
It took Velo and Fala four days to travel from Nanxiang to this location.
In contrast, Yamamoto was not in a hurry along the way. He even hunted several times but it only took him two days to arrive near Bear Mountain.
Day 66 of the Black Mist Calendar.
The Nanxiang gathering place was already faintly visible in Yamamoto’s eyes.
In the distance, the smoke rose from within the Nanxiang gathering place.
It was lunchtime.
The fragrance of black rice and roasted meat filled the gathering place.
Yamamoto then looked at the surroundings of the gathering place.
He could see large patches of farmland undulating in the breeze.
Waves of black wheat rolled, creating a tranquil and peaceful countryside scene.
The death-restraining zombie snake on his neck looked briefly with its extraordinary vision and said, “They’re yellow-skinned people, just like you.” “But slightly taller than you.”
Therefore, Yamamoto understood who these people were.
“It’s the second batch of Nanxiang people…”
After muttering to himself, Yamamoto’s face suddenly revealed a ferocious expression.
“Good! Very good! It can’t be any better!”
It was unknown what had brainwashed Yamamoto.
But from the looks of it, he seemed to hold a deep-seated resentment towards the people of Nanxiang.
As he spoke, Yamamoto strode towards the Nanxiang gathering place.
The death-restraining zombie snake on his neck asked, “What are you going to do?”
“What am I going to do? Charge straight in! Kill the men and keep the women for fun! That’s the plan!”
Yamamoto’s face contorted as he said this.
Yamamoto did not think that the Nanxiang gathering place could pose any threat to him.
This was because his strength was beyond their league!
He had arrived in the Black Mist Zone over two months ago and had received the attention and nurturing of the Undead Clan almost immediately.
During this period of time, Yamamoto had been enjoying the resources and cultivation of the Undead Clan within the Black Mist Zone. His rapid growth was self-evident!
The Undead Clan was one of the top three major clans in the Black Mist Zone, and might even be the strongest!
There were countless experts among them, and some were even G.o.d-like beings! Under the guidance of these powerful figures, Yamamoto’s evolutionary path progressed unbelievably smoothly.
Did other humans have such resources?
No!
Therefore, though the people of Nanxiang were his predecessors, Yamamoto did not think they had the capability to resist him.
Worldly Realm?
They were definitely only Mortal Realm Awakened.
Physique Realm?
This was clearly impossible because the only path for humans to break through to the Mortal Realm was the Body Forging Technique. Moreover, cultivating the Body Forging Technique required too much time, and dozens of days were simply not enough.
In comparison, the path of evolution for the Undead Clan was simpler.
“Therefore, our Undead Clan is the favored one of Source Power!”
“Today, I’ll give you Chinese humans a little taste of the Tokyo Ghoul shock!”
In the next second, a terrifying and piercing roar resounded outside the Nanxiang gathering place.
Suddenly, the figure of Yamamoto Yuichiro underwent a rapid transformation!
