A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse

Bei Nuan immediately froze, like the other zombies, stretching her neck stupidly and making noises.

"Hoo-hoo-hoo—hoo-hoo-hoo—"

It should be very convincing, right?

After all, this zombie disguise was provided by the system and is completely flawless, more realistic than the work of the world's most skilled makeup artist.

The only problem is that she's too weak and small, and doesn't look much like one of the "people" in the guard.

The mutated zombie stared at Bei Nuan intently for a while, then frowned.

Bei Nuan suddenly felt a new voice in her mind, different from the one before, telling her to leave immediately and charge towards the front of the mountain.

Upon receiving the order, Bei Nuan immediately turned and staggered towards the front of the mountain like a real zombie.

After walking a long distance, Bei Nuan dared to glance in the direction of the mutated zombie while pretending to turn her head randomly and babble foolishly.

It seemed to think her behavior was normal and no longer paid attention to her.

Bei Nuan secretly rejoiced, Fortunately, the "King of Beasts" ability is hardcore enough to turn me into a real zombie state, allowing me to smoothly receive the remote sensing commands from the mutated zombies.

Otherwise, if she had only put on makeup and couldn't hear the mutated zombies' commands, they would have immediately discovered the problem.

By the time Bei Nuan squeezed out of the zombie horde bit by bit and returned to the mountain where the special operations team was located, the countdown was over.

Bei Nuan ran wildly up the mountain, only to meet Lu Xingchi halfway.

Lu Xingchi also saw Bei Nuan and came over to pull her into his arms.

He held Bei Nuan tightly, a hint of nervousness in his usually calm voice, "There are zombies everywhere, it's too dangerous, don't run around alone."

He couldn't find Bei Nuan and seemed genuinely frightened.

Bei Nuan was puzzled, "Didn't you see the note I left you?"

"Of course, I did, that's why I've been waiting for you here."

Bei Nuan didn't have time to be lovey-dovey with him and struggled out of his arms.

"Quick, quick, we need to borrow a sniper rifle. I found the mutated zombies controlling the horde. We need to find a way to snipe them."

Bei Nuan knew that the special operations team had a sniper rifle.

As long as they took out the mutated zombies, it would be like cutting off the brain of the horde, and the predicament of Faman City would be immediately resolved, allowing them to enter the safe zone.

Lu Xingchi seemed to hold back for a moment, but in the end, he didn't ask how she found the mutated zombies. Instead, he humbly asked for advice, "Do you want to shoot yourself? Or should I do it?"

Bei Nuan refused, "I should do it."

When Bei Nuan was on her way back, she had also considered having Lu Xingchi control the bullets or spikes to take out the mutated zombies.

But they are both human now and cannot get close to the horde. The mutated zombies are hiding in the middle of the vast horde, too far away.

Lu Xingchi controls zombies with his ability. At such a long distance, even if he is very powerful, there will still be mistakes, even if there is only a one in ten thousand or one in a hundred thousand chance of error.

But if Bei Nuan uses a gun, she relies on automatic aiming, and the system's automatic aiming will not have any errors.

For safety's sake, it's better for her to do it herself.

The two returned to the top of the mountain together.

Bei Nuan found Shao Bai and carefully explained the situation of the zombies below the mountain, including the main force of zombies behind the mountain and the two mutated zombies controlling the others.

The special operations team members next to him were all stunned.

"How did you find the mutated zombies?"

"I just took a stroll and looked around, and I felt like they looked a little strange."

Bei Nuan dealt with them casually, then asked Shao Bai, "Are we going to take out those two mutated zombies? I think we can find some good sniping spots on the mountain."

Shao Bai had been quietly listening to Bei Nuan. After she finished, he neither doubted her words nor asked how she got so much information.

Obviously, if what Bei Nuan said was true, taking out the two mutated zombies controlling the horde would undoubtedly make a huge contribution to solving the current predicament of Faman City.

But taking them out also carries great risks.

The worst-case scenario is that there are more than just two intelligent mutated zombies. Once they discover that their companions hiding behind the mountain have been attacked, they may realize that the attack is not coming from the direction of Faman City, but from behind them.

The special operations team's location could be exposed.

Before the surging zombie horde is the fortress city of Faman, which is the blockade line, and behind Faman City is the safe zone protecting countless humans.

Shao Bai didn't hesitate for even a second before saying, "We'll take them out."

Bei Nuan nodded and asked, "Then can I borrow the sniper rifle?"

Of course, she had to do it herself.

No matter how good a sharpshooter is, they can't compare to her automatic aiming ability.

Shao Bai got up, found the team member with the sniper rifle, and handed the gun over to Bei Nuan along with the bullets.

The gun was already loaded. The body was khaki-colored, much longer and heavier than the rifle Bei Nuan was currently using. It was equipped with a scope and a silencer on the barrel.

Bei Nuan also borrowed military binoculars from Shao Bai and handed them to Lu Xingchi, in case anything special happened to Bei Nuan, he could make up for it.

"I'll go with you to find a sniping spot," Shao Bai said.

Bei Nuan refused and pointed to Lu Xingchi, "Just the two of us will go."

Then she asked a little embarrassedly, "I have a small problem… How do you use this gun?"

Everyone: "…"

Bei Nuan crammed and took a sniping lesson from Shao Bai before leaving with her gun and Lu Xingchi.

After only two steps, Lu Xingchi took the gun, "It's too heavy, I'll carry it."

Behind them, the expressions of the special operations team members were very complicated.

This girl doesn't even seem to be able to hold a gun.

Yet she has created miracles again and again.

They don't know whether to believe her or not.

Shao Bai calmly picked up his gun and said to everyone, "Everyone, prepare for battle."

It's hard to say what will happen after Bei Nuan fires the shot. Maybe the zombies will immediately start searching the mountain.

Bei Nuan and Lu Xingchi carried the gun and tried to stay away from the mountain where the special operations team was located. They circled around the direction Bei Nuan mentioned and finally found an ideal sniping position halfway up another mountain.

It was a hillside without trees, with a good view and several half-person-high boulders to conceal their figures.

The two quietly sneaked behind the rocks.

The mutated zombies were still in the same place, at the foot of the opposite mountain.

They were using the mountain to shield themselves from artillery fire, but they didn't know that someone would be aiming at their heads from behind.

Bei Nuan followed Shao Bai's instructions, found a good position to set up the gun, and lay down to aim.

As Bei Nuan expected, after turning on the automatic aiming button under the Saintess progress bar, the sniper rifle, like the rifle, also showed the trajectory of automatic aiming.

To be on the safe side, Bei Nuan switched the automatic aiming to the simplest "Ascension to Immortality" lock-on mode.

In the scope, the mutated zombie's head was emitting light.

Bei Nuan also aimed at the mutated zombie next to it.

It could also emit light successfully.

Bei Nuan carefully looked at the zombies around them one by one through the scope and found no third mutated zombie with unusual behavior.

If there were other mutated zombies, they might be hiding elsewhere.

Below was an ocean of zombies, tens of thousands of them. It was impossible to search them one by one, so they could only take out these two first.

Bei Nuan aimed the crosshairs back at the mutated zombie from before.

Bei Nuan had shot countless zombie heads, but these two heads were of great importance.

Her palms were a little sweaty, and she couldn't help but turn to look at Lu Xingchi.

Lu Xingchi realized she was looking at him and put down his binoculars.

His eyes were as cold and light as ever, but his expression was calm and gentle.

He smiled at her slightly, leaned over, gently kissed her cheek, and lowered his long eyelashes, his gaze falling on her lips.

Bei Nuan: ?

Bei Nuan thought, This isn't the time to be kissing, big brother. What if my hand shakes and the bullet flies off course?

Bei Nuan stopped looking at this guy who liked to steal her attention and calmed herself down.

She pulled the trigger.

A mutated zombie was shot in the head and fell towards the mutated zombie next to it.

The mutated zombie next to it supported it and looked surprised to see the gunshot wound on its head.

The next moment, it made a strange move. It immediately stuck its fingers into the wound on its brother's head, as if trying to dig something out.

Although Bei Nuan was puzzled, she quickly switched to its head and fired a shot as well.

This time, both of them fell together.

In that instant, the entire battlefield changed.

As if someone had pressed a strange button, the horde stirred slightly.

The first to become strange was the main force of zombies hiding behind the mountains.

Their tightly packed formation suddenly loosened, and the zombies that had been standing by left their positions and began to wander aimlessly.

The commotion seemed to be contagious. The zombies preparing to charge in front of the mountain also suddenly lost their tight formation and scattered in all directions like spilled water.

The most obvious were the zombies that were charging.

Many of them, halfway through their charge, were still howling and running forward in the previous moment, but in the next, they stopped stupidly as if they had lost their direction.

They stood in the midst of flying artillery fire, turned their heads sluggishly, and looked around blankly, as if thinking: Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

It worked.

For safety's sake, Bei Nuan couldn't stand up or cheer. Unable to express the excitement in her heart, she reached out and grabbed the collar of Lu Xingchi's shirt, pulled him over, and gave him a heavy peck on the lips.

Then she was in trouble.

Lu Xingchi didn't hesitate to reach out and hold her head in place, immediately giving her a lesson that made her deeply understand the difference between an adult's kiss and a child's peck.

But there were new changes on the mountain below.

Lu Xingchi released Bei Nuan and motioned for her to look down.

After a short period of being without command, the chaotic horde stabilized again.

Although the charging zombies no longer rushed towards Faman City in a swarm like before, they no longer wandered around like before, and stopped in place.

It was as if someone had ordered the sea of zombies to stand by.

It seemed that there were really more than just those two mutated zombies.

Without those two, the remaining mutated zombies seemed unable to control the massive horde, and the impact on Faman City temporarily stopped.

Bei Nuan deeply regretted that she was not a zombie now and could not receive the orders of the mutated zombies. She didn't know what they were saying.

Lu Xingchi reached out and pulled Bei Nuan up, "Let's retreat."

His judgment was correct.

Just as the two of them left the sniping spot and hid in the nearby dense forest, a group of zombies at the foot of the mountain, as if suddenly receiving an order, surged up the mountain and charged towards their sniping spot.

The mutated zombies realized that there might be someone on the mountain behind them.

Lu Xingchi and Bei Nuan quickly crossed the dense forest, left that mountain, and returned to the mountain where the special operations team was located.

Shao Bai and the others were waiting for them fully armed.

Seeing Bei Nuan, Shao Bai's face showed a smile, "It worked, the attack on Faman City has stopped."

Bei Nuan didn't care about that, "They've started searching the mountain. I estimate they'll be here soon. Should we retreat?"

Shao Bai nodded calmly, "We'll retreat down the mountain."

He should have already seen the zombies start searching the mountain.

But his face showed obvious joy.

The joy of seeing the horde stop attacking far outweighed the unease of being discovered by the zombies soon. In Shao Bai's mind, the safety of the special operations team was insignificant compared to the safety of the blockade line and the entire safe zone.

Sure enough, a large group of zombies also began to surge towards the mountain where Bei Nuan and the others were located.

The dense forest was already filled with the zombies' continuous howls.

They were too fast, and there was no time to retreat.

This place was high up, a good position to easily shoot the zombies charging up the mountain.

The special operations team members set up their guns in front, allowing the civilians to hide behind. Everyone loaded their guns and prepared to fight.

The first batch of zombies had already charged up.

Bullets fired in unison, and a group of zombies fell.

But the zombies behind them continued to charge up without hesitation.

They fell in droves, but wave after wave, they swarmed up, endlessly.

The special operations team's ammunition was not plentiful to begin with, and they wouldn't be able to last long with this kind of fighting.

This was a situation of certain death.

Everyone was calm and not as excited and impatient as they had been in previous zombie fights. Everyone was seriously firing their guns one shot at a time.

Bei Nuan heard a team member next to her say, "Every zombie killed is one less. I'm avenging myself."

Another laughed, "I have to save a bullet for myself. I don't want to be a zombie. Zombies are too ugly."

Bei Nuan thought: Actually, it's not too ugly, it's okay.

The team member next to her analyzed, "There are too many zombies. I probably won't even get to turn into a zombie before I'm eaten."

The zombies charging up seemed endless.

Bei Nuan didn't shoot zombies but took out all the spikes she had stored in her space.

Lu Xingchi raised his hand.

At this time, he no longer concealed his ability. The spikes rushed out of the magazines, rose into the air, and shot out like a swarm of bees, instantly knocking down all the zombies that charged over.

All the special operations team members looked up, shocked by the spectacle before them.

Only Shao Bai turned his head and found Lu Xingchi, who was concentrating on controlling the spikes.

New zombies continued to charge up, and Lu Xingchi's spikes did not land, flying in the air and continuing to rush towards new targets.

This was a true one-sided massacre.

But Bei Nuan knew that there were countless zombies below the mountain. Now that they had discovered the special operations team, they would only continuously send more zombies up the mountain.

Lu Xingchi was constantly using his ability and would eventually run out of energy. She didn't know how long he could last.

"All of you retreat," Lu Xingchi said to Shao Bai and the others while controlling the spikes, "I'll stay here to cover your retreat."

Shao Bai hesitated, looking at Lu Xingchi and then at the civilians behind him.

Bei Nuan said to Shao Bai, "You take them and leave. I'll stay with him."

They couldn't rely on him alone to block them here. Bei Nuan was now a sharpshooter and could help him, allowing him to rest for a while.

There were too many zombies. This was the most dangerous time Bei Nuan had encountered since she transmigrated into this world.

But if the two of them cooperated, although it was dangerous, they might not really be unable to escape.

Lu Xingchi curved the corners of his mouth at her and didn't say anything more to make her leave.

Jiang Fei laughed next to her and seriously shot a zombie, "I can't let him be a hero alone."

He also refused to leave.

"Of course, we're not leaving," Du Ruo said to Shao Bai, "You, the special operations team, take the civilians and retreat."

Shao Bai thought for a moment and then commanded the vice-captain, "You take them down the mountain, return the way we came, and try the high wall entrance of Salun City to the south. I'll stay and help them."

The vice-captain's Adam's apple bobbed. He obeyed the captain's order and commanded everyone to help the old and young, and led the civilians to prepare to go down the mountain.

Bei Nuan turned back again and used automatic aiming to switch to the head of a zombie charging over.

She thought, If only I could command the zombie army like the mutated zombies.

As long as she gave the order - stop for me, all the zombies would stop charging forward.

Just as she was thinking this, a strange thing happened.

Bei Nuan saw the zombie at the end of the crosshairs suddenly pause and look around blankly.

Unfortunately, in the next second, it received Lu Xingchi's spike.

Bei Nuan grabbed Lu Xingchi's arm, "Wait a minute."

Lu Xingchi turned to look at Bei Nuan inexplicably, but he still obediently let the spikes vibrate and hover in the air.

Bei Nuan faced the oncoming horde and thought silently: You—all! Stop! For! Me!

A miracle happened.

The zombies that were charging towards Lu Xingchi and the others, as if suddenly receiving an order, stopped in their tracks, pushed to the ground by the zombies charging up from behind.

Bei Nuan issued the same command to the zombies behind.

The wave after wave of charges suddenly stopped.

Lu Xingchi, Shao Bai, the entire special operations team that was preparing to retreat, and the civilians all looked in surprise at the horde that had suddenly become well-behaved.

Bei Nuan thought, See it, imitate it, become it.

After becoming it, they will bow down to you and obey your commands and orders.

This is the true meaning of the King of Beasts.
